Ms. Doctor Divine - Chapter 1533
1533 Not the Phoenix Girl 1
Fu Bao had been working for Lord Huai for a long while, and he knew him well. He looked cold, but he was a person with emotions and a sense of justice.
The King had four sons and one daughter, which was a small number compared to the King in the past. Lord Huai’s sister Princess Xunyang was drifting outside, and his mother had to pretend to be dead just to protect herself. As for himself, Lord Huai had to watch out so that he would not be framed by his own father. The King was so cruel as to treat his own sons differently.
Fu Bao wondered if Lord Huai had hurt feelings or was just pretending.
He would not have accepted it if his father had treated him in this way.
!!
Following behind him, Fu Bao said nothing after all.
He knew his Lord Huai too well to say anything right now.
The wagon was heading into the court.
The wagon from the Lord Huai’s Mansion was asked to pull over at the gate. Then the passengers were asked to leave and take the court wagon.
That was a rule every lord needed to obey apart from the Crown Prince. Some lords were not even in as good of a position as the other ministers and officers in the court. They had to be very careful.
They got out of the wagon.
And it took them a while before they reached Qianqing Palace.
Qianqing Palace was shining in the sun. It was a very bright day.
Zhou Huaijin suddenly did not seem used to the fine weather, after being in the snow for so long.
He narrowed his eyes and walked in.
He greeted politely. “Greetings, father.”
Zhou Huaijin was half bent on his knees.
Seated in a chair, the King stared at Zhou Huaijin below him, deeply and profoundly. He did not let him get up directly. He was silent and left him on his knees for a long time.
One cup of tea later… the King said as if he had remembered this son of his. “You can get up now.”
Zhou Huaijin did as he was told, showing no expression and standing on the same spot.
The King seemed to be in a very good mood. He was the King that everyone had to bend down to, including the son of the Jiang Family. He could make him stand in the same position as long as he wanted. That was something that no one could change.
He owned the world. He could do whatever he wanted with it.
Thinking of that, he suddenly felt much more joyful.
He did not allow him to sit.
He sipped his tea and said, “Your mother has been deceased for a long while. And according to the rules of the Saint Divine Land, you will be past the time for her condolence in half a year. Your mother has a very high standard, but you never have any woman taking care of you. Your mother is gone and you are old enough to find a woman who can take care of you.”
“…”
“You are engaged with the Phoenix Girl, but the Phoenix Girl is too involved with the commoners. She can’t just stand behind your back like ladies from the capital.”
“…”
“So she is not right for you.”
“…”
“Anyway, you are just engaged, so we can always talk about this.”
“…”
“Before the New Year arrives, we can have everything arranged so that you can have your wedding when New Year comes.”
“…”
“There are still some unmarried ladies in the capital, the Wang Family, the Min Family, the Chu Family and the Liu Family. You can pick anyone you like and tell me straightforwardly. If you don’t have anyone, I can pick one for you.”
“…”
“When you are engaged, you will get a bigger and newer mansion, and you want a task to run too, right?”
