Chapter 350 Unlucky White Moonlight 26
No one avenged him, and no one even collected his body. His bedding roll was thrown into a mass grave and eaten clean by wild wolves.
“Serves you right!”
I heard that the other party was still muttering about its host after going crazy. I couldn't help but spit. What kind of person is he! He doesn't cherish what he has, and gets crazy when he loses it. Who is he disgusting?
Before it could continue to complain, Cuizhu pushed the door open and came in, "Miss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here again."
001:......
Is that old Emperor a specialist in producing dog-skin plasters? Ever since the fall of Prince Jin, the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and the Fourth Prince have been coming to the General's Mansion from time to time. They claim to want to discuss state affairs with the General, but what they really think is only known to them.
"Host, we're not going!"
Of course Luo An would not go. Although the other princes performed much better with the help of Prince Jin, it was none of her business no matter how better they were. Anyway, she had no interest in those whose thoughts could be seen at a glance.
"The prince is here to discuss something with Daddy again? If that's the case, there's no need to ask Daddy to come over for lunch to avoid bothering them."
Cuizhu: ...If my master can't eat the delicious food produced in the small kitchen, I wonder how much he will despise the prince.
But that was not her business as a maid. She only needed to serve her young lady well.
"Okay, I'll tell you right away."
In the study.
Father Luo felt a little annoyed when he saw the prince finishing one topic and then changing to another.
He touched his protesting stomach again, and the irritability became even worse. He didn't understand why. Although the incident with Prince Jin two years ago had enraged the emperor and he fired many officials at once.
But the holes that needed to be filled in the past two years have been filled. If the prince doesn't go to those effeminate civil servants to discuss these topics, why would he go to him! Don't you know that he is only interested in training troops and fighting wars?
"Cough cough cough~"
Luo's father pretended to cough a few times, and the Crown Prince immediately stopped talking and asked with a worried look on his face, "General Luo, have you caught a cold? How about I call an imperial physician to see you? You must take good care of yourself, otherwise it will be a great loss to our court and the people."
Father Luo: ...He only realized how powerful he was when he was already old.
"No, I don't have a cold..."
Hearing Father Luo say that he didn't catch a cold, the prince's mind became active again, "What else is the problem? General Luo, if you feel uncomfortable, just tell me directly, don't bear it."
Father Luo: ...Can you let me finish what I am saying?
"I'm not cold, and I'm not angry!"
Luo's father's tone was audibly louder by several decibels. If anyone else had spoken like this, the prince would have been angry, but Luo's father was a big shot in front of the emperor. He came here to win over the other party, not to make enemies with the other party, so of course he couldn't be angry.
"It is because of my concern that I am confused. General, if you have something to say, please speak directly."
Such a polite way of speaking made Father Luo feel as if he was a bit rude. He couldn't help but cough a few times and said, "It's time for lunch. Does the prince want to..."
"I didn't expect the general to invite me to lunch. I will respectfully obey."
Luo's father: ......
Looking at the prince's smiling eyes, he knew that he had fallen into the trap of this old fox again, and he couldn't help feeling depressed.
But the prince is the prince after all. Whenever he wants to go to someone's house for lunch, he can only do so happily and cannot drive anyone away.
He felt heartbroken when he remembered that the housekeeper had said in the morning that his daughter's kitchen was working on new dishes and he couldn't be the first to taste them.
But what can he do? Who made him stuck with such a dog-skin plaster?
With Luo An's leadership, the cooking skills of the general's mansion have risen sharply, but Luo's father has to entertain the prince from time to time while chewing the food, so his mood can't be good at all.
"General Luo, I've heard Miss Luo is gentle and virtuous. Changping is bored staying in the palace all day. If there's a chance, we could get them together. Maybe we could have two young ladies who could talk about anything."
The prince thought that what he said was very reasonable, but after what happened with Prince Jin, Luo's father seemed to have installed a radar. As long as a man who coveted his daughter appeared, he would perk up in a second.
"An An's personality is too lively. I'm afraid she will make the princess angry. It's better not to bother her any more."
The prince paused chewing, knowing what he meant, but still unwilling to give up. "Changping's personality is too dull. If Miss Luo can inspire her, this palace and my mother will be very happy."
Don’t you understand what people are saying?
Luo's father was filled with rage. Don't think he didn't know what the prince meant. Wasn't he just trying to establish a good relationship with the general's mansion, and ideally, get his daughter away? He refused to give in.
Although the emperor is a good man and has treated the Luo family very well over the years, his sons are really not suitable for his daughter. He has no other ideas, as long as his daughter is happy.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince can take Princess Changping out to play more often. Maybe she'll be in a better mood and talk more."
No matter what he said, he would be retorted by the other party neither softly nor harshly. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was helpless. After taking a sip of wine, he simply changed the subject.
"General Luo!"
"Huh?" Father Luo was confused.
"Do you think I'm happy?"
Father Luo: ...How should I answer this question?
Fortunately, the prince didn't intend to ask him to answer, and continued to himself, "Everyone says that I, the prince, must be very happy, but I am suffering inside! I have to worry all the time, afraid that if I don't do one step well..."
Having said this, the prince glanced at General Luo, and seeing him looking at him expressionlessly, he felt that he should add fuel to the fire.
So, he sighed and took another sip of wine. "Just to secure my position as Crown Prince and protect Changping and Mother, I haven't even dared to easily decide on a Crown Princess. Even now... to be honest, I feel guilty towards Father."
When the three words "Crown Princess" were mentioned, Father Luo's alarm bells went off. He knew that this boy had bad intentions, just as he expected.
"A while ago, I met Miss Luo at my father's place. I was attracted by the lively aura she exuded. It suddenly dawned on me that I hadn't been wasting my time these years, but rather waiting for the right person."
When he looked up, the prince's eyes were slightly red, and he looked at Luo's father with such pitiful, stubborn and happy eyes, which made Luo's father's mouth twitch slightly. He had never seen the prince so good at acting before!
But it's really useless to act in front of him. My daughter's marriage depends on her own willingness.
For some reason, he was kind of looking forward to the prince being humiliated in front of his daughter. He cleared his throat and began to act pitiful, "Hey, although I'm a father, this matter is really not something I can have the final say.
Your Highness the Crown Prince also knows that An An suffered greatly in the past, so she told us that it is up to her to decide whether to marry or who to marry in the future. As a father, what can I do? I can only agree.
