Chapter 390 Kunxing's Ambition
"The prince came back alone, without any other woman," said the maid.
"Go down! By the way, tell the prince to come to the flower hall to find us directly. We won't go looking for him." Princess Kunxing said.
The maid agreed, and soon Zhao Xiaofei arrived at the flower hall.
As soon as he entered the room, he felt something was wrong. There was a solemn and murderous air, as well as a sour and resentful feeling.
Looking up at the ladies again, Zhao Xiaofei immediately understood. He smiled and said, "Ladies, long time no see. How are you? Did you eat well?"
"That's really cruel! My husband has been away for more than two months! What happened? What delayed his trip?" Princess Kunxing asked.
"I met a good friend who is very talented! I talked to her about national affairs and she knew everything about them!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"She's so amazing, I'm sure your husband must like her very much. I wonder what she looks like? Are you planning to marry her?" Princess Kunxing suddenly asked.
"No! That's not happening! She and I are both innocent!" Zhao Xiaofei explained quickly.
"Qingbai? How can your husband prove that he is Qingbai with that girl? I heard that you accompanied her shopping and worked as her laborer. She bought things and you followed behind to pay for them. She walked in front and you carried the things she bought behind. It seems that none of us have this treatment!" Princess Zhaoren said angrily with a pout.
"I'm selecting talents for the country! She is a talented woman comparable to Guan Zhong. Maybe our Ming Dynasty can have a real female prime minister!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Oh! How about Mr. Liu?" asked Princess Kunxing.
"She is far inferior to this person. If she were the prime minister, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty would be further improved. The financial situation would also be better! She is good at financial management and diplomacy. She can do all the work of the Ministry of Revenue and the Court of Internal Affairs by herself!" Zhao Xiaofei talked nonsense seriously again.
"Oh! I'd like to meet this extraordinary woman. If she is really as good as you say, I can marry her." Princess Kunxing said.
"No, no, no, I promised Yunying that she is the last woman I will marry. Having you guys in my life is enough. No matter how beautiful or talented other women are, they can't make my heart flutter!" Zhao Xiaofei continued to talk nonsense. He wanted to marry Jiang Xiaomei, but she didn't like him either!
After saying this, Shen Yunying was in the best mood. She didn't expect that the prince still remembered what he said to her, and he didn't forget his loyalty because of her beauty.
"You are a prince of the Ming Dynasty, you should consider the Ming Dynasty! It is not up to you to decide whether to marry her or not. Now is the time when we need people. If you marry her, you can keep her to prevent her from being married off by men from the enemy country to help the enemy country!" Princess Kunxing said.
"Even if it's to make her stay, I don't have to sacrifice myself!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Yes! Sister, there are so many outstanding court officials! She can call them over and let her choose!" Princess Zhaoren said. She didn't want to share her husband with others. Even if it was with her sister, she could have her husband for one more day.
"Don't be anxious, we haven't met the person yet! Maybe he won't be that talented even if we meet him! Let's all go away!" Princess Kunxing said.
Princess Kunxing said a word, and everyone withdrew. Zhao Xiaofei looked at Shen Yunying and Li Sihong who were leaving. They left together. Zhao Xiaofei calculated that he would stay in Shen Yunying's room today.
Zhao Xiaofei was about to follow him out, but Princess Kunxing said, "Don't go! What's the rush? Tell me about that girl!"
Zhao Xiaofei turned around and said with a silly grin, "Madam, let's talk about this girl later! I think your decision was a bit hasty. You said you were willing to sacrifice me to keep a girl."
"I am not only your wife, but also the Princess Regent of the Ming Dynasty. For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, I am willing to give up something! I am a woman like them, but I am more of a princess of the Ming Dynasty. I cannot bear to see my father and my brother's kingdom destroyed. As long as it can stabilize the kingdom, there is nothing I would not give up. I also want to be with you and the children every day, but I have to fight against fate. My son is still in the palace pretending to be the prince! I am worried every day that something might happen to my son. I hope that the children will give birth quickly and give my brother a son. That way, I can take my son back to the palace earlier!" Princess Kunxing said sternly. Sometimes she hated Zhao Xiaofei so much. He didn't see her own efforts and hard work at all!
"I understand, but she may not be willing to come. I'll ask her next time I have the chance." Zhao Xiaofei said.
"Husband, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have treated you like that, but I feel so sad!" Princess Kunxing said this with a sad face.
"It's my fault. I should have cared about you more." Zhao Xiaofei said.
When Princess Kunxing heard Zhao Xiaofei say this, the anger and grievance in her heart dissipated. She felt that as a wife, she shouldn't speak like this today.
Zhao Xiaofei quietly walked into Kunxing and held her in his arms. Kunxing's tears instantly flowed out.
"Don't worry, even without her, we two brothers will hand over a complete and peaceful country to your nephew!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"What if Concubine He, Concubine Huang and Qin Xiaomi all give birth to daughters?" Princess Kunxing suddenly asked.
"How could your brother be so unlucky? All four children are daughters. The probability is too low." Zhao Xiaofei said confidently.
"I hope so too, but if it is as I expected, who will be the emperor? Will it be Prince Lu? Or Prince Tang or Prince Gui? No matter who it is, can they let you and me go?" Princess Kunxing asked.
"You can't let your son become emperor, right?" Zhao Xiaofei asked doubtfully.
"So what? He is at least half Zhu family blood!" said Princess Kunxing.
"This is too crazy. I don't want to be like Lu Buwei, who said he wanted his son to be king! Besides, Concubine Huang and the Queen Mother both know about this, so there's no way to hide it!" Zhao Xiaofei said.
"If that day ever comes, I will have no choice but to help my son ascend the throne," said Princess Kunxing.
"But if that happens, will I still be able to see him? If he finds out one day, will he cover it up and then..." Zhao Xiaofei didn't dare to say anything more. He was really afraid that his son would kill his family if he knew his identity.
"Yuming won't do that. We have taught him carefully since he was young. It will definitely not be like you imagine!" Princess Kunxing said.
"I still pray that your brothers and sisters-in-law will give us a little nephew! I really don't think the throne is that good. I just want him to be happy and safe!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
