"Promise me, you'll treat me as well as eldest brother-in-law treats sister-in-law, for the rest of our lives."
Rui Wang pinched her cheeks and said, "Silly, what's so difficult about this? You are my wife, and if I'm not good to you, who will I be good to?"
"Ahem." Ning Wang cleared his throat. "Let's go."
Rui Wangfei quickly pulled his hand away, and Rui Wang scratched his head awkwardly. Afterward, they seemed to deliberately avoid each other, wishing they could take separate carriages.
On the other hand, Ning Wang, disregarding the gazes of others, held Ning Wangfei's hand in public.
The customs and traditions of this dynasty were more open compared to the previous one, but such intimacy in public was still rare.
Ning Wangfei felt slightly uncomfortable, but Ning Wang smiled so gently at her, making it hard to refuse.
The group of four left the palace, and the carriages from the two prince’s residences had been waiting outside the palace gates for some time. Rui Wangfei naturally went back with Rui Wang, and logically, Ning Wang should have returned to Ning Wang Residence with Ning Wangfei.
However, unexpectedly, Ning Wang held Ning Wangfei's hand and said, "Imperial father asked me to visit the imperial study this afternoon. You should go back first."
Ning Wangfei hurriedly said, "If you have official business to attend to, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Ning Wang smiled and replied, "I wanted to see you off. I can only feel at ease once you've boarded the carriage."
Rui Wangfei couldn't help but envy the affection between her eldest brother-in-law and sister-in-law. It was like a fairytale love story.
Ning Wangfei said, "Then you should go and see imperial father quickly. I'll head back first."
Ning Wang said with a smile, "Alright."
After Ning Wangfei finished speaking, she withdrew her hand, turned around, and boarded the carriage heading to Ning Wang Residence.
Rui Wang bid farewell to Ning Wang, saying, "Well then, eldest brother-in-law, we'll be on our way."
Ning Wang nodded and said, "Regarding the matter I mentioned to you, pay attention to it. I'll speak for you in front of imperial father later."
Rui Wang laughed heartily and replied, "All right!"
"What did eldest brother ask you to do?" Rui Wangfei asked softly.
"I'll tell you later." Rui Wang said, pulling his wife towards the carriage heading to Rui Wang Residence. Just as he was about to help Rui Wangfei get on the carriage, another carriage suddenly approached at high speed on the official road near the palace gate, nearly colliding with them.
Fortunately, the carriage came to a stop with only a distance of one carriage between them.
Ning Wang now stood in front of the carriage, holding a precious sword in his hand. It seemed as if he would have swung the sword to kill the horse if the coachman hadn't halted the carriage in time.
The curtains of the carriage were lifted, revealing a handsome man with wheat-colored skin. His features were firm, his eyes deep and bright when he smiled.
He held a folding fan in his hand, exuding a carefree and unrestrained demeanor.
Today, he did not tie up all his hair but gently braided a portion behind his head. A few strands of his dark hair hung down on the right side of his face, perfectly obscuring one side of his profile.
"Well, what a coincidence? It's His Highnesses Ning Wang and Rui Wang." He said, cupping his hand in a salute while holding the fan.
Rui Wang frowned, "Sixth Prince?"
That's right, the person before them was the State of Chen’s hostage prince and the sixth prince of the State of Chen’s imperial family, Yuan Tang.
Yuan Tang's attire today was somewhat peculiar. His long hair flowed freely, giving him a somewhat mysterious appearance.
However, he wasn't a clean-cut scholar. He was a wheat-skinned handsome man exuding a masculine aura. This image was somewhat indescribable.
Yuan Tang smiled and said, "Your Highness Rui Wang, long time no see. This must be Rui Wangfei? Or perhaps we met once a few years ago."
Ning Wang subtly positioned himself to shield Rui Wang and his wife, addressing Yuan Tang, "Is the Sixth Prince here to race horses in the palace?"
Yuan Tang cupped his hand again and chuckled, "Oh, no, I wouldn't dare. I was just eager to greet you both, so my carriage may have been a bit fast."
Ning Wang replied coldly, "We are not acquainted, so there's no need for greetings."
Yuan Tang raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Is this your country's way of treating guests?"
Ning Wang replied in a cold tone, "You are not a guest; you are a hostage."
Yuan Tang rubbed his chest and sighed, "Oh, you really hurt my self-esteem. I was actually looking for a parrot that can speak outside the palace, hoping to enjoy it together with the two highnesses. But it seems that neither of you is in the mood for amusement with this Yuan Tang. This Yuan Tang bids you farewell then."
With that, he cupped his hand towards them once more and turned to walk back to his own carriage.
In that fleeting moment as he passed by Rui Wangfei, a gust of cold wind lifted his flowing hair covering one side of his face. Blaming his eye-catching appearance, Rui Wangfei instinctively glanced at him.
"Ah!" Rui Wangfei exclaimed, dropping the handkerchief from her hand.
"What's the matter, Rui Wangfei?" Yuan Tang turned back, puzzled.
Rui Wangfei turned around, moving closer to Rui Wang's chest. Rui Wang quickly protected her in his embrace and glared coldly at Yuan Tang, saying, "You frightened my wife!"
"Well, I apologize." Yuan Tang cupped his hand and bowed in apology.
After Yuan Tang left, Ning Wang looked at Rui Wang and Rui Wangfei with concern, "What happened just now?"
The handkerchief on the ground had been picked up and put away by their servants.
Rui Wang comfortingly patted Rui Wangfei's shoulder and asked, "Yes, did that guy intentionally scare you?"
Rui Wangfei shook her head and said, "No, I just... I was just surprised."
Rui Wang was confused, "Surprised about what? It's not like you haven't seen him before."
Yuan Tang, as the State of Chen’s hostage prince, generally didn't attend gatherings of the State of Zhao’s imperial family. However, when he first arrived in the State of Zhao, to showcase the magnanimity of the imperial family, the Emperor hosted a welcoming banquet for him and the State of Chen’s envoy.
Rui Wangfei carefully thought for a moment and decided to tell them about witnessing the Crown Princess's secret meeting with someone.
"You, you, you..." Rui Wang was so shocked that he started stuttering, "Are you sure you didn't mishear? It really was the Crown Princess with Yuan Tang?"
Rui Wangfei recalled, "They deliberately lowered their voices when speaking, so I couldn't recognize whose voices they were. But I heard the Crown Princess say, 'What have you done to Chunying?' Chunying is the Crown Princess's personal court lady. Afterwards, I saw the Crown Princess coming out from behind the rockery, so I'm certain it was her."
Ning Wang asked, "How did you confirm that the man was Yuan Tang?"
Rui Wangfei furrowed her brow and explained, "I heard the Crown Princess slap him behind the rockery. Then, I saw Yuan Tang's face all swollen and red just now, with distinct marks that looked like lingering finger imprints. It immediately made me think of that man..."
Such a matter was far from honorable. The Crown Princess of the current dynasty meeting privately with the State of Chen’s hostage prince would be considered a capital crime punishable by death if the news got out.
Rui Wang couldn't believe it and said, "This Yuan Tang... he's too audacious... And the Crown Princess, why would she meet privately with the State of Chen’s hostage prince? She doesn't seem like that kind of person..."
Rui Wangfei snorted, "What do you mean she doesn't seem like that kind of person? You men are all blind! I told you before that she's not a proper woman. When she had an engagement with Xiao Heng, she dared to flirt with the Crown Prince. Who's to say that now that she has the Crown Prince, she won't try to get involved with other men?"
Rui Wang argued, "What are you talking about? Who's blind?"
"You!" Rui Wangfei's voice dropped. Then she realized that Ning Wang was also present and awkwardly smiled, "Not you, eldest brother-in-law! You are the one with the sharpest eyes in the entire palace! But you, don't think I don't know that you secretly liked Wen Linlang! Fourth Brother too! Only eldest brother-in-law didn't like her!"
Rui Wang choked, "That was many years ago..."
He was just a young and inexperienced youth, momentarily captivated by Wen Linlang's beauty. But didn't he stop paying attention to her afterward?
Now his heart and eyes were filled with only Du Qianqian!Raz P.'s Thoughts
