C90 (1/2)

The Crown Prince of Great Zhou, Zhao Jie, was the direct descendant of the high empress.

Empress Gao chose to enter the palace at the age of twelve, gave birth to Third Prince Zhao Jie at the age of eighteen, and gave birth to Seventh Prince Zhao Yao five years later.

That New Year's Eve, the palace was set ablaze with fireworks. The five-year-old crown prince held onto the loving empress in one hand and the imposing emperor in the other as he ran towards the resplendent fireworks that filled the sky.

The painters in the palace had drawn this picture of His Majesty the Emperor, but no one knew that far off in a remote corner of the great palace, a baby was leaning against a well-dressed woman.

Riding on a black steed, Justice was leading the charge. Behind him, a group of guards followed. The dust and dirt on their flying horses' hooves was like a long stream of yellow silk.

Immediately after, there was the sound of rolling wheels being rolled, and from within the yellow silk, a carriage appeared. The carriage was carved with a crane pattern and was covered by a blue veil. The small window on the side was ajar, and one could vaguely see that there was a colored soft couch in the sedan chair, and the faint shadow of a person could be seen within.

In front of He Zhou Manor's gate, Meng Guangmei led He Guangkun and her two daughters, Yun Zhen and Yun Chi to the front.

Seeing the carriage stop, Justice and the horse hurriedly dismounted from their horses. The curtain of silk beads was opened, but a young girl came out. She was wearing a thin gauze dress in such a cold weather. She smiled as she got off the carriage.

The man at the door was stunned. He hesitated for a moment before calling out to the driver, ”Young Master, please get off the car.”

Another rustling sound came from the sedan, and another woman wearing a crane coat jumped down from the sedan.

He Guangkun's gaze swept past the two women and landed on the carriage curtain that was moving slightly with the wind. Suddenly, he felt that he seemed to be the same person as the crown prince.

The nearby side door slightly opened a crack, and Jin Xiaotao squeezed her face out to peep outside.

The side room didn't have the qualifications to welcome guests, so she and Golden Fragrance secretly opened the door to see if there was anything new.

The sedan chair's curtain was opened once again. A man wearing a green embroidered robe with pine, bamboo, plum, and dark black clouds walked out of the sedan chair.

And justice immediately bent over and knelt down on one knee.

Without looking at justice, the man stepped on his shoulder and got out of the car.

He took two steps towards the Residence of He, then turned around and said righteously, ”Call me Young Master Huang.”

He Zheng quickly cupped his hands and said: ”Please, Young Master Huang, I have prepared some dishes and wine …”

Before he could finish his words, the man had already embraced the two beauties on his left and right: ”What lowly subordinate? He, Sir, is the third young master of a mere merchant family who is disrespectful to the world. Don't forget your status.”

While he was admonishing justice, the man shouted, ”It's cold, it's cold. Your place here is to the south, much colder than the capital.” They entered the Residence of He.

Golden Fragrance followed behind Jin Xiaotao and asked, ”How is it, has His Highness come out yet?”

Jin Xiaotao was already dumbstruck. The crown prince was indeed the crown prince, and the aura he exuded caused her heart to palpitate and legs to soften. She only regained her senses after a long while: ”He has already entered the palace.”

Golden Fragrance gritted her teeth and knocked Jin Xiaotao: ”Why didn't you call me earlier!”

Saying so, she tugged at her skirt and walked inside.

Jin Xiaotao pulled back her head and closed the door, she walked behind Golden Fragrance while feeling weird, why did she feel that she had seen the crown prince before?

Why did that handsome face seem so familiar?

He then shook his head. That was the crown prince, how could he possibly have seen him before?

Perhaps it was in her dreams that she dreamt of many immortals. The crown prince was probably the same as those immortals.

Golden Fragrance walked to the pavilion next to the main hall. There were two other pavilions next to the main hall. The Western Warm Pavilion was used for changing clothes before meals, and the East Warm Pavilion was currently preparing the dishes.

The maidservants placed the wine and delicacies inside the pavilion and presented them one by one.

Golden Fragrance took advantage of the moment when the maidservants were serving to sneak a peek. The Crown Prince's profile was like a ridge under the setting sun, intimidating everyone.

The two beauties who came with the crown prince and the crown prince's attendants left together. Golden Fragrance had already heard that the crown prince Zhao Jie had no manners and had no manners since he was young due to the empress's love.

One of the favorite things to do was to gather a variety of beauties to be raised in the Eastern Palace. Golden Fragrance didn't expect that she would bring two beauties with her on this tour.

She had guessed that the crown prince had come because of the battle at Wuli River, but she was afraid that it was not so. Otherwise, how could he bring a woman with him during the battle?
