Chapter 467 Going to see the Qilin Beast

The nanny said, "I think it must be the aunt who came back so late."

Jiang curled her lips, "I don't know what he is busy with all day. Being a teacher to a little emperor is even busier than the prime minister."

In Yao Jinse's yard.

As soon as Liang Chaozong entered the front yard, the servant hurried to report to Yao Jinse.

When Liang Chaozong just stepped into the door of the small courtyard, Yao Jinse came to greet him with a smile.

"My husband, you must be tired, right? You came back so late."

Liang Chaozong casually handed the cloak to Yao Jinse and stretched lazily, "Being a teacher to the emperor, how can it be so easy."

As he said, he had already strode into the house.

Yao Jinse brought two maids, helped him change his clothes skillfully, and personally helped him take a bath.

Several times, Yao Jinse wanted to chat with him, but Liang Chaozong didn't seem to be interested. He just said a few perfunctory words and went to bed on the pretext of being too sleepy.

Yao Jinse felt depressed and had no sleepiness. She walked into the bathroom dejectedly, wanting to take a bath and relax.

At this time, the maid was cleaning up the bathroom and wanted to take away the clothes that Liang Chaozong took off to wash.

Yao Jinse's eyes fell on the dirty clothes basket, and she hurriedly said, "Wait."

The maid who was walking out with the dirty clothes basket stopped immediately.

Yao Jinse walked up to her, changed her inner clothes, brought them in front of her, sniffed them a few times, and her eyes were immediately filled with disappointment.

There was a distinct fragrance on the lingerie.

This fragrance was not hers, nor was it Liang Chaozong's.

She personally fumigated their clothes with incense.

She liked roses, so all her clothes were scented with roses.

As for Liang Chaozong, considering that he had to go to the palace and attend court frequently, Yao Jinse only fumigated his clothes with a light sandalwood scent.

But today, the lingerie that Liang Chaozong took off actually had a strong scent of lily.

Yao Jinse's brows wrinkled tightly, and a layer of frost appeared on her face.

Liang Chaozong actually found a woman outside!

...

Three days passed in a flash.

Since the Wanshou Festival that day, the second prince and Yue Haoyun have sent people to investigate clues.

One is to keep a close eye on Liang Chaozong to confirm his affair with Zhu Ling; the other is to investigate the Chi tribe to see what kind of relationship there is between the Chi tribe and the previous emperor of Dai Viet.

Early that morning, Xia Miaoyuan had breakfast and took advantage of the cool weather to ride Maomao around the mansion.

When he walked to the front yard, he suddenly heard two servants chatting secretly.

"Have you heard? The emperor got two unicorn beasts for his birthday this time."

"Qilin beast? What does it look like?"

"I heard it looks very tall and majestic, taller than the second floor."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, it would be great if I could go and see it."

"Go and see it, you wish. The unicorn beast is raised in the royal family, how can a little mortal like you and me see it?"

Xia Miaoyuan's eyes lit up when he heard "unicorn beast".

[Isn't the Qilin an animal from a mythological book? How come it really exists!]

[I really want to see what the ancient Qilin beast looked like!]

Thinking of this, Xia Miaoyuan turned around and headed towards the Second Prince's courtyard.

[I'll ask my second brother, maybe he can take me to see it.]

Maomao was hugging Xia Miaoyuan. As soon as he stepped into the Second Prince's courtyard, he saw Silver Leopard step forward and grab Maomao's reins.

"Young prince, wait a moment, the Second Prince has something to do there." Silver Leopard said in a low voice.

Xia Miaoyuan looked up and saw that the door of the Second Prince's bedroom was indeed closed.

After a while, there was a puff, and a black shadow sneaked out from the back window.

Xia Miaoyuan was shocked. [No way, in broad daylight, the secret guard dared to deliver a letter like this?]

Seeing that the secret guard had left, Silver Leopard loosened Maomao's reins.

Xia Miaoyuan slid down from Maomao and walked to the second prince's door, only to hear voices coming from inside.

The second prince said, "I didn't expect Zhu Ling and Liang Chaozong to be so shameless."

Han Qingbo's voice rang out, "Zhu Ling sits in the position of the empress dowager, controls the little emperor, and is used to the feeling of holding power. Over time, she has become arrogant."

"If they continue to develop, maybe Zhu Ling will dare to let him pass the open road and become a legitimate concubine."

Then, the two laughed heartily.

[Oh, it seems that the secret guard has confirmed that Zhu Ling and Liang Chaozong are indeed having an affair. 】

The second prince's laughter stopped abruptly. He heard his sister's voice at the door, so he hurried forward and opened the door.

"You little rascal, why are you eavesdropping?" The second prince picked up Xia Miaoyuan and tapped her on the head.

Xia Miaoyuan argued, "This princess is not eavesdropping. I always listen openly."

Seeing her serious look, the second prince and Han Qingbo couldn't help laughing again.

"By the way, I almost forgot about the business." Xia Miaoyuan stretched out her hands and grabbed the second prince's face.

"I heard that the little emperor got a new Qilin beast on his birthday. I want to see what the Qilin beast looks like. Second brother, can you take me to see it?" Xia Miaoyuan's voice was soft.

The second prince frowned, "I'm very busy, how can I have time to accompany you to see the Qilin beast. Besides, we are here on a diplomatic mission, and it would not be good if we take the initiative to make such a request."

The brother and sister were talking when they heard footsteps outside.

"Second Prince, Little Prince, Lord Han, the Emperor of Dai Viet is here to deliver an imperial decree!" Jin Hu ran in breathlessly.

Everyone was shocked. Hadn't they already arranged for the second prince and his party to visit the Imperial Academy today? Why did they come to deliver an imperial decree again?

Jin Hu said, "The Emperor of Dai Viet sent someone to pick up the princess, saying that he had just obtained a new Qilin beast and wanted to invite the princess to see it together." When

Xia Miaoyuan heard that they were going to see the Qilin beast, she immediately jumped three feet high with joy.

"Great! Ahhhh!"

"If you don't take me with you, the young emperor will invite me!"

The second prince asked in surprise, "Is it only the princess who is invited?"

Jin Hu nodded, "Yes."

Han Qingbo understood that the second prince was a little worried about Xia Miaoyuan going alone, so he comforted her, "Don't worry, Second Prince. In my opinion, the young emperor of Dayue really treats the princess as his sister. I think his purpose of inviting her to see Qilin is very simple."

The second prince thought it made sense, so he let Xia Miaoyuan go with peace of mind.

Li Ma and Sang Qi packed up quickly, followed Xia Miaoyuan in the carriage, and went together.

On the other side, inside Shouxi Palace.

Liang Chaozong walked in with a veil on his head under the guidance of a palace maid. When he entered the room, he saw that only Zhu Ling was there, so he took off the veil.

"I don't know why the queen wants me to come here so early this morning." Liang Chaozong bowed respectfully to the queen mother.

Zhu Ling smiled and pulled Liang Chaozong over to sit next to her.

"Today is a day off and the weather is so good, so I want you to accompany me for some fun." Zhu Ling's voice was coquettish and cute.
