He is engaged to Princess Zhaoping.
After hearing the news Wu Shang sent back, Shang Xiye was completely puzzled. When did he become engaged to Princess Zhaoping?
That's right. When he was young, the eldest son of the Sun family taught him martial arts, and he was willing to be close to him.
After his mother passed away, he was unwilling to return to the palace for a period of time, so he temporarily stayed at the Sun family's residence. He occasionally had contact with the Sun family, but at that time, Zhaoping was still an infant in swaddling clothes.
At that time, his father, the emperor, had visited the Sun family incognito several times, but he did not mention the marriage agreement.
Later, he returned to the palace and was fostered under the care of Consort Xiao.
The people of Black Purgatory did not know that he had returned to the palace. They thought he was still in the Sun family and launched a surprise attack at night, massacring the Sun family and causing their extermination.
Since then, he and Princess Zhaoping have rarely met. Even when they do meet, it is only in front of the Empress Dowager, where they politely inquire about each other's well-being a few times.
Until his death, his father never mentioned that he was engaged.
Where did this new engagement with Princess Zhaoping come from?
"Your Highness, do you need my assistance...?"
"No need," Shang Xiye interrupted Wu Shang's suggestion: "They've been nurturing Princess Zhaoping for so many years, and now they're finally going to make their move. I also want to know what they intend to do with her?"
Exchange favors for affection?
Sorry, they were a step too late.
He already has someone he loves.
Thinking of the little bandit, Shang Xiye's usually sharp mind instantly turned into a mess again—that little bandit had been indifferent to him for two days!
Even if he said he wouldn't let her get away with anything, she would still be sarcastic and unfriendly towards him, which was really a headache.
Is it really this hard to take off your own wife's clothes?
How do other couples get along so harmoniously and happily?
Do you have a tutorial? I need it urgently, I'm waiting online!
"Your Highness, there is one more thing," Shang Xiye said suddenly when Wushang spoke up.
"What is it?"
"Like Consort Jia, Consort Qin has inexplicably recovered and is now looking for an opportunity to avoid the Summer Palace."
Upon hearing this news, Shang Xiye's expression darkened further, and his voice dropped eight octaves: "Let her lie back down. The Princess needs to rest these days and doesn't need these clowns to entertain her."
A clown, playing along with the princess?
Yes, their prince has indeed matured and knows how to protect his own.
Wu Shang had been annoyed by Qin Weiyang for so many years, and today he finally heard some satisfying words. He left more happily and eagerly than ever before.
Screw you!
Don't say that it's ungentlemanly for a man to hit a woman. To be honest, he's wanted to hit Qin Weiyang for a long time, and this time he's determined to do it himself!
Qin Weiyang absorbed the essence and blood that the Heart-Piercing Gu had drawn from Consort Jia, finally making up for her recent losses. Dressed up in her finest attire, she prepared to go to the hunting grounds to fawn over Shang Xiche and win his favor.
She had planted a love potion on Shang Xiche. As long as she took the initiative to win his favor, Shang Xiche would definitely fall in love with her and touch her. Once he touched her, her refusal to visit the Summer Palace would be perfectly legitimate.
The four of them, master and servants, had only traveled halfway when they were suddenly blocked by several masked men in black.
Qin Weiyang was momentarily stunned.
Is the situation in Da Zhao so chaotic now? Tongyou is the heartland of Da Zhao, and in broad daylight, bandits are openly blocking the road and robbing people.
"Gentlemen, take all these jewels and ornaments. This place is not far from the royal hunting grounds. Let's make money peacefully and not block our way anymore." Qin Weiyang calmly took all the jewels and ornaments from the two palace maids and Aunt She and threw them out of the carriage.
“Our master said that you are a vicious woman, and there might be poisonous insects living in your hair. We dare not touch your things.” Wu Shang didn’t even glance at the things.
