"Has the Third Prince come to the Zhao residence to fetch Consort Zhao?" Zhao Guangtao asked.
Generally speaking, married daughters don't stay long when they return to their parents' home, but unexpectedly, the Third Prince came to pick up Yi'er in person.
It seems that the Third Prince truly values Zhao Jingyi.
Yun Shao did not answer, but smiled and said, "I heard that my grandfather is not in good health, so I came to visit him. Come on over."
The guards carried in several boxes.
"Grandfather, these are some medicinal herbs to nourish your body. I hope you recover soon."
Zhao Guangtao was even more confused. He had been sick before, and Yun Shao had never come to visit him. What was he up to today?
But whatever the purpose, etiquette must not be compromised, so Zhao Guangtao hurriedly said, "This humble subject is apprehensive and thanks the Third Prince."
“Oh, Grandfather, I’ve said we’re all family, no need for formalities. You can just call me Yun Shao.”
Yun Shao said that, but Zhao Guangtao dared not actually shout it.
Judging from Yun Shao's tone, he wasn't there to pick up Zhao Jingyi. Zhao Guangtao didn't really think that the Third Prince was there simply to see him.
Although the Zhao family had some wealth, in the eyes of the powerful and wealthy, they were nothing more than a merchant family. He knew his own limitations.
Zhao Guangtao had no choice but to sit down and drink tea with the Third Prince, waiting for him to speak first.
"Grandfather, it's rare for Yi'er to return to the Zhao residence, so staying a few more days won't hurt. I heard that Princess Chang Le of the Great Chu is staying at the Zhao residence. I wonder if the princess is here today, and if I can see her?"
Princess Chang Le?
So Yun Shao came here for Xiao Jin!
Although Zhao Guangtao knew that Xiao Jin had been granted the title of Princess Chang Le, Xiao Jin said that everyone was family and there was no need to care about such empty titles, and she never put on airs as a princess in front of them.
This caused Zhao Guangtao to temporarily forget Xiao Jin's identity and treat her only as his own granddaughter.
"Please wait a moment, Third Prince. I will have Ning'er go and invite... Princess Chang Le out."
“Miss Zhao is here.” Yun Shao nodded slightly.
When Su Ruojin heard that the Third Prince had come to see her, she remembered what Yun Hao had said about the situation in the palace.
Hehe, the Third Prince's true intentions are not what they seem.
The Third Prince dared to target her maternal uncle and the Zhao family; before she even had time to cause him any trouble, he came knocking on her door first.
Alright, then let's meet this Third Prince first.
The moment Yun Shao saw Su Ruojin, a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes, and he became even more determined to have her.
"I just learned from my father that Princess Chang Le has come to Yun Qi. I apologize for not being able to welcome her properly."
Su Ruojin smiled and said, "Your Highness is too kind. I have only come to Yunqi to pick up my grandmother and bring her back to Da Chu. I would not dare to disturb Your Highness."
Just as Yun Shao was about to say something, a woman's voice came, "Your Highness, Your Highness, have you come to take me back to the manor?"
Zhao Jingyi was overjoyed to learn that Yun Shao had come to the residence. She had just received the jade pendant and hadn't even had a chance to tell His Highness yet when His Highness arrived at the Zhao residence. It was truly a meeting of minds.
His Highness must have missed her, so he came specifically to bring her back to the manor.
Zhao Jingyi quickly walked up to Yun Shao and bowed, "This concubine greets Your Highness." After standing up, she looked at Yun Shao with deep affection in her eyes.
Yun Shao's expression changed slightly, but she still maintained her smile. "Consort Zhao, it's rare for you to come back to your parents' home. Staying a few more days won't hurt."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jingyi's smile froze. If His Highness wasn't here to pick her up, then what was the purpose of his visit to the Zhao residence?
Could it be that they've come to urge her to get the jade pendant sooner?
Oh, right, His Highness doesn't know that he has already obtained the jade pendant. Thinking of this, Zhao Jingyi's smile widened.
If His Highness finds out, he will not only take her back to his residence, but will also reward her handsomely.
