Chapter 33 – That Couple Again
In his embrace sat a young woman, whose disheveled clothes made the snowy white skin of her mountain peaks faintly discernible. But, he suddenly lost interest and gently pushed her aside. “Alright, Diechang. It’s already late at night, you’d best go back. Else if you’re caught, it won’t be good.”
He had actually been lost in his thoughts while holding her. This situation had never happened before!
Suddenly, a bit of uncertainty appeared in Hu Diechang’s heart. Her teary eyes turned to him as she hugged one of his arms. She said, “Prince, recently I’ve learned a new method of preparing tea and was hoping you would try some out…”
Ji Yunhao nodded his head, readily agreeing, “Fine, tomorrow I’ll go to the Wishing Crane House with you. I wish to try the tea you prepare and see if it’s better than before.”
Hu Diechang smiled sweetly before finally leaving satisfied.
Her martial arts were not bad. Her figure flashed a few times in the flower garden before no trace of her shadow could be seen.
Ji Yunhao faced her back and slightly sighed.
He could not have picked incorrectly; this woman should be his main wife.
Hu Diechang was the current Grand Marshal’s, Hu Qinghua’s, most favored daughter.
Hu Qinghua used to serve under Ning Xuemo’s father, Marquis Jingyuan, who was brave, fierce, the most resourceful among his peers, and was good at official business. Once Marquis Jingyuan died, Hu Qinghua succeeded his position and became the new Grand Marshal.
Having both military and civil authority, he was the real decision-maker in deploying troops in the Imperial Court. He was also someone who all the princes tried to curry favor with.
It was due to luck that Ji Yunhao captured the heart of Qinghua’s daughter, Hu Diechang.
Hu Diechang had originally admired his Third Brother, the Crown Prince.
However, feelings could not be forced or controlled. The crown prince had never put her in his eyes and had caused her to be embarrassed a few times, leading her to lose hope and give up.
