Chapter 1080 (1/2)
Chapter 1080: Chapter 1080: The Battle of the Three Kingdoms!
A few days later, Zhou Heng went to the Shangguan family’s banquet.
Shangguan Qing was just as the minister had said. She was dignified, elegant, and capable.
Zhou Heng exchanged a few words with her.
His heart, which had long been as still as water, did not have any fluctuations.
Although he had no feelings for Shangguan Qing, she was not the best candidate to be the Northern Princess Consort in any way.
Zhou Heng was tall and straight, with a rough face, but he did not lose his handsomeness.
Shangguan Qing was a typical mature woman. She had long passed the age where little girls blushed and their hearts raced at the sight of handsome men.
However, after a few words with Zhou Heng, she was convinced by his charisma.
A person who could become the Northern King was indeed extraordinary.
When it came to the dance segment, Shangguan Qing and Zhou Heng danced.
“Northern King, are you free next weekend? There’s an art exhibition. I’d like to invite you to see it together.”
Zhou Heng pursed his thin lips.” I’ll have to ask the secretary about the schedule.”
“If you are free, will the Northern King accept my invitation?”
Zhou Heng looked at Shangguan Qing’s sincere eyes and nodded slightly.” Sure.””
Jiang Mi was dead. To him, it didn’t matter who he married.
After the dance, Zhou Heng’s smoking addiction kicked in. He walked to the back garden of the Shangguan family’s house and leaned his tall body against a big tree. He lit a cigarette and bit his thin lips.
After taking a few puffs, a reprimand suddenly came from behind.
“Didn’t Sir and Madam ask you to stay in the servant’s room and not come out?”
“You’re so ugly, yet you still have the face to come out. What if you scare away the guests?”
“The Northern King is coming over tonight. You should go back quickly!”
Zhou Heng stood up and looked at the person who spoke.
Behind the big tree stood a middle-aged woman in a servant’s uniform and a frail and slender figure.
Seeing that figure, Zhou Heng frowned.
The woman’s figure looked very much like the dead Jiang Mi.
