Chapter 80

Chapter: 080 out of 513 – The position of the secondary wife (1)

Hearing something off in his voice, she looked in his direction and saw a silver fox fur cloak hanging on the divider screen . It was a valuable cloak embroidered with a golden dragon with four-claws .

She sighed . This cloak had nothing to do with her . Early this morning, when the crown prince had come to pay respect to n.o.ble Consort Nie, a part of the cloak had been damaged when it was being hanged . n.o.ble Consort Nie knew that she was very skillful with needlework, so she had handed the cloak to her to mend .

But, Ning Yuxuan thought about this matter differently . He knew Zhao Zhe better than anyone else and had negative mental a.s.sociations when he saw the cloak here .

“Are you very close with the crown prince?”

Ji Man seriously said, “This matter has to be clearly explained . I’m not familiar with the crown prince and I’m not mending this cloak because of him . n.o.ble Consort Nie was the one that handed me this cloak to mend . ”

Ning Yuxuan made a sound of acknowledgement . The corners of his lips faintly curved . “It’s true that your embroidery skills are very good, but there are plenty of people in the palace . The n.o.ble consort doesn’t need to order you around like a servant girl . ”

His words made it seem like she was deliberately trying to show off . Ji Man decided not to argue with this person . Otherwise, she

would be the one that was angered to death .

“My lord, you’ve been here long enough . You should go back to keep Madam company,” Ji Man considerately said with a smile . “You only need to go through the motions here . This servant won’t say any unnecessary words in front of Old Madame and the n.o.ble consort . You don’t have worry . This servant will only say good things about you in front of them . ”

Marquis Moyu’s expression sunk . His peach blossom eyes seemed like they were full of needles . “You’ve become very mature . You used to eagerly hope that I would stay longer . Now, you eagerly hope that I’ll leave sooner . ”

“People will always change . ” Ji Man lightly smiled . “Wouldn’t it be so stupid to spend an entire lifetime loving a person that didn’t love you back? My lord, walk slowly . It’s slippery outside . Have the servants support you more while you’re walking . ”

Ning Yuxuan didn’t know what to say . He sullenly flung his sleeve and started to leave the ting yu xuan . However, he saw the crown prince after only walking a few steps .

Zhao Zhe had a Casanovlike smile . “Marquis, did you just go to pay your respect to Old Madame?”

Ning Yuxuan stopped walking . “Your Highness, weren’t you staying home to work on your a.s.signments? Why are you here?”

Zhao Zhe rubbed his nose and said with a smile, “I came to the palace early this morning and ordered the servants to

to say I was working on a.s.signments . You understand why I have to use those cheap tricks . Otherwise, other people will think I’m a hedonistic crown prince that doesn’t know how to diligent . ”

Ning Yuxuan raised his eyebrows, but stayed silent .

But, the crown prince was in a very good mood and he said, “It’s good that I met you here . Bring out my silver fox cloak for me . Let’s go to Chun Feng . ”

(T/N: Literal translation of Chun Feng is spring breeze . )

She’s like a spring breeze in the three-mile long Yangzhou Street . There are many rolled up beaded screens, yet there is no one equal to her . *
