Chapter 8: Sudden Mission

Upon hearing Princess Zhao Hua's words, Xiao Jin was a little confused.

Although she knew that Princess Zhao Yang was extremely powerful in the original work(novel), being the ruler of the seven cities, and the late emperor even intended to crown her as the imperial princess.

If not for the officials' remonstration, Princess Zhao Yang might have become the empress of Qi.

But Zhao Hua was only Zhao Yang's younger sister, yet she acted so disregarding the face of the emperor Qi, which was quite surprising.

The emperor Qi gazed at the back of Princess Zhao Hua and rarely did not get angry. He just extended his other hand and played with the prayer beads on his wrist.

After a while, he said in a low voice, "Imperial sister, this is a family matter of mine."

Princess Zhao Hua, wearing a white snow-like brocade gown and a beautiful swan-like neck, smiled and said to the emperor Qi, "As your younger sister and Jin'er's aunt, I should share the burden with you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Qi still looked at Princess Zhao Hua, but she continued to speak with a hint of meaning, "Besides... His Majesty and I both know some things very well."

Xiao Jin was confused as she watched Princess Zhao Hua play dumb, then looked at the emperor Qi's expression. His brows were furrowed as if he was pondering something.

She had a hunch that Princess Zhao Hua probably knew some shocking secrets that hit the emperor Qi's sore spot.

Unfortunately, this novel only focused on the dog-blood abuse and love between the male and female lead. As for royal secrets, they were not mentioned at all.

So, she didn't know what was going on between these two people at the moment.

While emperor Qi remained silent, Princess Zhao Hua glanced at Xiao Jin and then at Chu Shao.

Then, she moved her lips, and her cold voice even carried a hint of sadness, "My poor Jin'er! You're so young, yet you suffer from a serious illness. You are dedicated to serving Great Qi, but you're being obstructed even when you want to propose to your beloved. Jin'er, your fate is so bitter!"

Xiao Jin: "......"

She almost believed what was said.

The Crown Prince stood aside, quietly watching Princess Zhao Hua's performance, feeling a bit amused.

But when he saw the silver-blue flower hairpin on Chu Shao's forehead, he squinted and studied the shape of the petals for a while.

The Fourth Prince knew that Zhao Hua was talking nonsense, so he quietly said to her, "Auntie, what you said is biased and unfair."

"Although there are many unfortunate people in the world, this person cannot be Third Brother. Moreover, the person standing next to Third Brother should be my nephew's consort. Third Brother has never even met the princess, how could she be in love with her? And how could she marry her according to the proper rituals?"

Although this sounded reasonable, Chu Shao stood there and smiled slightly, feeling somewhat unconvinced.

Now that King Yao is gone, who can complete the traditional marriage rituals such as presenting betrothal gifts and getting married?

Princess Zhao Hua looked at the Fourth Prince with narrowed phoenix eyes and said, "Yi Er, if you were injured in battle and lost both legs for the sake of Qi country, Auntie would definitely feel heartbroken for you."

"Auntie will say something unpleasant. The Jiao country was conquered by Jin Er. If it weren't for him, where would you go to find a consort? Now Third Brother is so ill, yet you still make a big deal out of this small matter and bring it to the Emperor. It's really childish."
