Chapter Fourteen
"Does the young master want the Nine-Linked Rings?" Li Zhiwei asked in a low voice.
"You have it?" Xu Qingshi stared wide-eyed at Li Zhiwei.
She thought to herself, if she had one too, then it wouldn't be surprising to see Wei and Rui.
"Yes, how many does the young master want?" Li Zhiwei was a little embarrassed. Actually, these nine-linked rings were her toys when she was a child. Later, her father had some made.
It must have been that Father was giving those things to someone's child, which is how the young master saw them, right?
"Can I have a lot?" Xu Qingshi asked excitedly.
"Three or five is still possible," Li Zhiwei said uncertainly.
"Really?" Xu Qingshi was incredibly excited. Wei Herui only had one and he was already showing off like it was nothing. If he had three or five, wouldn't everyone envy him?
"Mother, you are my most beloved mother." Xu Qingshi excitedly stepped forward and hugged Li Zhiwei, praising her with great enthusiasm.
"Go away, go away. Your mother and I have things to do." For some reason, Xu Heming suddenly felt that his son was getting in his way.
"Father, you should go and attend to your official duties. Don't worry, Mother, I will take good care of her," Xu Qingshi assured him, patting his chest.
Xu Heming's lips twitched.
Just as I was about to ask when it was, I saw Eunuch Liu, who was by the Emperor's side, rush in.
"Your Highness Prince An. Your Highness the Princess Consort." Eunuch Liu smiled as he looked at the group.
"Eunuch Liu, is there something the Emperor needs to do?" Xu Heming asked quickly upon seeing Eunuch Liu.
"Your Highness Prince An, the Emperor has summoned you and Princess An to the palace," Eunuch Liu said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Li Zhiwei looked at Prince An nervously. In her previous life, she had never stepped out of the Marquis of Ru'an's mansion since she entered it.
Not to mention, meeting the Emperor.
For a merchant's daughter like her, to be disrespectful in front of the emperor would be a capital offense punishable by death.
"Don't be afraid," Xu Heming said, gently patting Li Zhiwei's hand to comfort her.
"Eunuch Liu, may I come along? I haven't seen His Highness the Third Prince in a long time," Xu Qingshi asked cautiously, thinking of another friend of his.
He thought to himself that if the emperor wanted to punish the new concubine, he could still get the third prince to plead with the emperor on her behalf.
"His Highness the Third Prince will be very happy to see the young prince," Eunuch Liu said with a smile.
"Eunuch Liu, please wait a moment. I'll have someone change my daughter-in-law's clothes." The old princess thought that although Li Zhiwei's clothes were not bad, they were still inappropriate for her to see the emperor in the palace.
Thinking that there were no suitable clothes for Li Zhiwei in the mansion, he sighed inwardly.
Fortunately, she still had some clothes from her youth. Although they were a bit out of style now, they were still better than what she was wearing now.
"Then this old servant will wait here for Princess An," Eunuch Liu said with a smile.
He was actually quite curious about the new Princess An, but considering the situation in the palace, Eunuch Liu felt that the Prince and Princess An were going to suffer a lot today.
However, given the Emperor's high regard for Prince An, there must be a reason why Prince An would do this.
As for this Princess An, I don't know what kind of ability she has, that made Prince An do this thing of forcibly taking another man's wife.
However, Eunuch Liu was a trusted confidant of Zhu Jingchen, and he knew very well what could and could not be said. At this moment, although he had doubts in his heart, he would certainly not raise them.
I'll only feel a little curious about it in my heart.
