Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The princess was stunned for a moment and glanced at Xie Qiao.
“Theard that… Master Mo is the eldest disciple of Old Master Li. I wonder… is this rumor true?” The princess could not help but ask.
She did not know where these rumors came from.
There were always people who said that when the Crown Prince saw Master Mo, he would call her senior sister. However, the Crown Prince only had one teacher. After all, Master Mo was a student of the dao, and Old Master Li was extremely strict in accepting disciples. Therefore, many people doubted
the authenticity of this rumor.
“Teacher stayed in the Taoist temple for a while many years ago. My luck was not bad, and teacher taught me for a few days,” Xie Qiao said modestly.
“It’s really true?!” Hearing these words with her own ears, the princess was really envious of this master.
The master was only a few years younger than her, but looking at her temperament, she had the demeanor of an immortal. She even took Li s.h.i.+yan as her teacher. It was definitely not just good luck.
The princess had already sent someone to invite the Crown Prince over.
Not long after, the Crown Prince arrived.
In his hand was a narrow, small box.
The princess was a little surprised. His Highness, the Crown Prince even brought a gift? It was quite exquisite, but she did not know what His Highness was going to give
“The matter Senior Sister entrusted me with has been settled.” Zhao Xuanjing walked forward and stuffed the item into Xie Qiao’s hand.
The princess’ gaze s.h.i.+fted slightly.
She… thought too much.
She had thought that His Highness would be so polite. She did not expect that he would still treat everyone with contempt as usual.
That was not right. His Highness really respected Master Mo. From his gaze, it could be seen that she was different from others. It was no wonder that some people had said that Master Mo was a witch and had almost seduced the Crown Prince’s soul.
However, she felt that the people out there were spewing nonsense. The age difference between the two was too much. How could it be?
“Since Your Highness is looking for Master Mo for something, I won’t disturb you. The two of you can do as you please.” The princess smiled and left with her servants.
If it was in public, the Crown Prince would have called him aunt. However, he was the imperial family after all. She did not dare to act like an elder.
Just like her father-in-law.
He was the uncle of the current emperor, but was he not killed in the end?
The princess left happily. She even walked as if she was fleeing for her life, which confused Xie Qiao. “The princess doesn’t seem to be happy to see you. Could it be that there was some kind of grudge in the past?”
“There isn’t any grudge, but I’m afraid that no one in the imperial family wants to have any contact with me.” Zhao Xuanjing did not plan to perform a self-reflection.
“Why?” Xie Qiao really did not understand.
Zhao Xuanjing… was quite good?
He was also quite humble and never showed off his authority as the Crown Prince.
Zhao Xuanjing felt that it was not good for him to hide it too deeply, so he said bluntly, “I haven’t married for many years and implicated the descendants of the imperial family. No one dares to have a family early. This is one of the reasons. The second reason is that because of me, Father is also very
strict with the descendants of the family. He prefers talented descendants, so they have to work hard and live hard since they were young.”
‘Was it that bad?
He was already born into the imperial family. Even if he was just a member of the imperial family, there were very few people who could compare to him. An ordinary family would even produce a good-for-nothing
“The Emperor dotes on you so much. People who don’t know about it… might think that he wants to destroy you with excessive praise.”
Xie Qiao really thought so.
‘The emperor that she knew knew the art of balance. Even when he treated his children, a little plotting was required. It was not true love all the way.
However, it was clear that the current emperor was different..
