Chapter 169 The Fifth Prince of Nangan was taught a lesson
Fortunately, what Zhao Lingmeng wished for turned out to be true. Nothing happened again, and she waited peacefully until the banquet was over.
After the Emperor and Empress left, Zhao Lingmeng said goodbye to Fushou and swiftly led her group outside. Given her current status as the eldest princess and the attention she had received today, it didn't matter if she was the third to leave.
She led her men out of Anhe Palace smoothly, and when she was about to get on the carriage, she didn't expect the fifth prince of Nangan to catch up with her.
"Princess Funing, Princess Funing, please stay!"
Zhao Lingmeng could only sigh, slowly put down the foot that was about to step on it, and turned to look at the fifth prince in annoyance.
The Fifth Prince of Nangan was like a peacock. It was so cold, and he was fanning himself with a fan. He must be seriously ill.
"What advice does the Fifth Prince have?"
Zhao Lingmeng's words were very rude and impatient. She felt that this person was like a piece of shit, and he was always complaining.
"Princess Funing, I still like you very much. Look, if someone as good as me misses out on such a good prince like me, there will be no one as good as you."
It was late at night and the wind was blowing hard outside. Zhao Ling dreamed that this sick guy was calling her and talking nonsense. She was really angry:
"If you're sick, go back to Nangan and see the imperial physician. Don't try to show off in front of me. I really don't like people like you. My previous husband was ten times more handsome than you! I'm not someone who eats anything when I'm hungry."
Zhao Lingmeng almost told him to stay away from her if he was ugly.
"you"
"Do you have anything else to say?" Zhao Lingmeng pretended not to see the fifth prince's ugly expression.
"Princess, are you really not going to consider your retreat?"
The Fifth Prince truly couldn't bear to part with Zhao Lingmeng's status. He had access to the imperial harem, the Marquis of Wu'an's residence, and, rumoredly, a close relationship with Princess Fushou. The advantages were truly too obvious. As for the other conditions, what else could he expect? It wasn't like he truly wanted to stay in Jingguo Lianyan forever. Those who achieved great things didn't need to worry about such matters.
"Ha, a retreat? Who? It can't be you!" Zhao Lingmeng said as he put his hand on Chunshui's hand and slowly walked towards the fifth prince of Nangan.
"Don't be so superficial. This prince is very talented and capable, and his future is definitely promising." The fifth prince suppressed his anger. He smiled on the surface, but in his heart he was already thinking about how he would deal with the abused woman after the task was completed and make her look down on him.
Zhao Lingmeng was very close to the Fifth Prince while he was talking to himself. She didn't bother to talk nonsense with him and slapped him twice.
After Zhao Lingmeng succeeded, she immediately retreated to a safe position at the back under the protection of Chunshui, Dongyuan and the other three, and looked at the confused Fifth Prince with a smile.
The Fifth Prince was truly bewildered. He was truly favored in Nangan. Even in the harem struggles, he occasionally suffered losses, but he had never been hit directly in the face like this. Not even his father had ever treated him like this.
"You dare to hit me?"
"Oh, there's a toad that keeps jumping around in front of me, and I just want to stomp it to death. After all, protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility!"
When Chunshui and the others beside him heard His Highness say this, they couldn't help but burst out laughing. The main reason was that what His Highness said was really too funny and too vivid.
"You, the Jing Kingdom, are really going too far." The eunuchs around the Fifth Prince Nangan immediately came out to defend their master. After all, they did not react when Princess Funing took action just now, and they were also afraid that the Fifth Prince would settle the score with them later.
"I even dared to attack you, the fifth prince. Do you think I dare to beat you?" Zhao Lingmeng's smile now looked like a big villain.
The Fifth Prince was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and said, "Are you from Jing Kingdom really not afraid of a falling out between the two countries?"
"That's not the case. I can't represent Jing Kingdom. I don't think you can represent Nangan either. After all, I remember that the emperor of Nangan Kingdom is in good health!
Even if you are the most favored prince, it is not your turn to make the decision in Nangan now! If you have something in Jingguo, do you think your brothers will be happy? "
Zhao Lingmeng really thought so. Even if he was the emperor's most beloved son, how much love could he give him? He wasn't his only son, and in the face of the overall situation, nothing was irreparable.
"Are you so grateful that your emperor will protect you?" The fifth prince was still a little confused about this. In his opinion, Funing was just the daughter of a minister.
"I think you all know this by now! I accidentally discovered a miracle drug that cures smallpox. What a great achievement! It's enough for me to live a carefree life. Especially since our emperor is a wise ruler who rewards people based on their merits. As long as I don't rebel, I can live as carefree as I want.
I just beat up our emperor's favorite third prince. Do you think I'm okay now?"
Zhao Lingmeng spoke even more arrogantly and casually in this section, portraying the role of an eldest princess who was arrogant because of her merits to the fullest.
Seeing Funing's stubborn attitude, the Fifth Prince could only cover his face and glare at Zhao Lingmeng fiercely, saying, "This prince will remember you. Things may not change, but this prince will wait and see your end."
After the Fifth Prince finished speaking, he left with his men in anger, while Zhao Lingmeng waved happily behind him, looking like a smug villain.
The Fifth Prince of Nangan and his group glanced back at Zhao Lingmeng. Seeing her arrogant expression, the Fifth Prince knew he was doomed to suffer this loss. Funing's arrogance must have been fueled by the Emperor. If she truly had discovered a cure for smallpox, this achievement would truly allow her to live a life of luxury.
But he was unwilling to accept this. He had never suffered such a great loss at the hands of a single person before. And seeing that the people serving her were all martial artists, he knew she was also someone who valued safety. He could only wait and see if there was another opportunity.
When the fifth prince of Nangan Kingdom walked back to the corridor of Anhe Palace, he saw Princess Huaishu waiting there.
He immediately lowered his hands from covering his face and slowly approached Huaishu, "Princess Huaishu?"
"Don't waste your energy. Just wait to become my consort!" Huaishu warned as she looked at the man in front of her who was slapped in the face by Funing. In fact, she felt pretty good about it. This guy looked down on her, but in the end he got slapped in the face!
"Your Highness, I'm going to be your consort, won't you help me get my revenge?"
The fifth prince looked at Princess Huaishu with expectation. He still hoped that the two of them could fight.
