Chapter 178 Princess Huaishu and the Fifth Prince's Daily Life
Once the marriage between Princess Huaishu and the fifth prince of Nangan was finalized, and the alliance between Jingguo and Nanganguo was officially reached, Yuanjing returned to its previous state, but there was more hope in people's eyes. It was their desire for peace and their desire for survival.
Therefore, the admiration and gratitude of the people of Jingguo for Princess Huaishu has reached an unprecedented level. The people are very grateful for Princess Huaishu's sacrifice for justice. To a certain extent, Huaishu's move was right.
Huaishu was very satisfied with the current situation. Wherever she went, no one would look down on her and think that she was just a concubine's princess. No one would think that she was not worthy of being compared with Princess Fushou and Princess Funing.
The more satisfied Huaishu was, the more upset the Fifth Prince of Nangan was. That day, the Fifth Prince had just returned from a tour of Yuanjing. As soon as he stepped into the inner courtyard, he saw Huaishu sitting in the corridor waiting.
The fifth prince of Nangan immediately left the servants behind and strode forward: "Your Highness, why are you sitting here? It's windy here. Let me help you go in and sit down."
Huaishu slapped the hand of the Fifth Prince of Nangan away in dissatisfaction, staring at him unkindly: "Where did you go today?"
When the Fifth Prince of Nangan saw Huaishu's unfriendly look, he impatiently stretched out his hand.
"I just went out for a walk, why are you so angry?"
"Didn't I tell you that you have to report to me before you go anywhere? You can only go out after I give you permission." Huaishu was still very angry about the son-in-law's non-cooperation.
The fifth prince of the Nangan Kingdom was already very angry and irritated about his recent lack of gains, and Princess Huaishu was deliberately looking for trouble with him.
He instantly became furious. "Although I am your consort, you are also married to me. Why are you acting like an eldest princess to me? We are Lianyan. I am not your prisoner. I don't need your permission to go anywhere."
"Oh? But now you live in my princess residence, so you must obey my rule."
Huaishu was no fool, she also guessed what this guy was looking for. But she knew that this thing must be in the hands of the emperor, otherwise the emperor would not ask her to keep a close eye on him, so she was confident.
"Huaishu, are you forcing me to move out?" The Fifth Prince looked at Huaishu in shock. He had never imagined that he would be kicked out just a few days after getting married. This was a scenario he had never imagined.
Huaishu raised his eyebrows and looked at the Fifth Prince indifferently: "If you insist on understanding it this way, that's fine!"
Seeing Huaishu's stubbornness, the Fifth Prince of Nangan was also angry. But if they just moved out, he would be a laughing stock in Nangan. Not only would he fail to complete his mission, but he would also lose his marriage. The most urgent thing at the moment was to keep Huaishu in check. So, although he was reluctant, he was the first to give in.
"Huaishu, did you hear someone say something? I'm just bored in Yuanjing and want to go shopping. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"Really? But I heard you were asking around for the daughters of some military families, especially Princess Funing. So tell me, what are you trying to do?"
Although the Fifth Prince knew that Huaishu knew he was out, he had not expected Huaishu to know so much. But now was not the time to pursue this matter. The more Huaishu knew, the more he needed to keep her calm.
"That's because I was slapped in the face by Princess Funing last time, and I wanted to take revenge on her. So I wanted to understand her weaknesses so that I could retaliate. Don't worry, I really don't have any other intentions towards that woman." The fifth prince could only choose his words carefully. He still wanted to coax Huaishu and take advantage of her.
"Then I advise you to give up! You know the status of the smallpox miracle drug! As long as Fu Ning doesn't rebel, she will enjoy wealth and glory in this life."
Although Huaishu disliked Fushou and Funing, she also knew how significant Funing's discovery was to the entire Jing. The surrounding countries, including the one in front of her, were all trying to find this miracle drug. Therefore, her conflicts with Funing were always kept to herself.
"Do you know this magic medicine?" When the fifth prince of Nangan asked this question, his eyes lit up. Others did not notice it, but Huaishu did.
"You said the name? Who in the entire Jing Kingdom doesn't know it? Fifth Prince, you know it too, right? It's the magic medicine for smallpox."
"That's not what I'm talking about. The specific formula?" The fifth prince responded very smoothly.
"Oh, what are you thinking? How could a princess like me know this kind of thing? I guess even Funing doesn't know the details. Stop dreaming!"
Huaishu thought, even if I knew, I couldn't tell you. Responsibility is determined by your butt! She is the eldest princess now, and she must not do anything that harms Jingguo.
Could it be that she doesn't want to be the eldest princess of a country, but wants to be the princess of a fallen country, or become someone's concubine? She must be seriously ill.
After hearing what Princess Huaishu said, the Fifth Prince was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he looked at Huaishu tenderly and said, "Your Highness, I was wrong this time. Next time I go out, I will definitely tell you. Please don't be angry, okay?"
The Fifth Prince suddenly seemed to have a flash of inspiration, as if he had a little understanding of his situation. He felt that these tasks could not be rushed, so what he needed most at the moment was not to run around like a headless chicken.
Instead, he had to cultivate a good relationship with Huaishu and gain her trust. It would be best if he could have a child with Huaishu. That way, he wouldn't believe Huaishu wouldn't help him.
Huaishu looked at the Fifth Prince, who suddenly gave in after a quarrel. She didn't really have any special emotions. She had grown up struggling in the harem. She could easily guess what he was thinking.
But since she was given the chance, she still had to take it. After all, there was no way she could divorce the Fifth Prince right now. She'd just have to wait and see! She was bored anyway, and now that she was out of the palace, she found it incredibly fun to fight with others!
Huaishu also calmly gave way, slowly stretched out her hand, and signaled the Fifth Prince to help her in.
Zhao Lingmeng didn't know that Huaishu and the Fifth Prince were living a life like an ancient spy movie, and both of them had countless thoughts in their minds.
What worries her most recently is that her eldest son Zhao Houjing will soon be celebrating his seventh birthday. She is now thinking all day about how to celebrate his birthday and what gift to prepare for him.
Zhao Houming and Zhao Houyang were equally worried. They didn't know what gift to give their eldest brother! It was mainly because it was their birthday, and the gifts their eldest brother had prepared for them were both their favorites, so...
