Chapter 50.2 - Marrying the Night Prince
So even though she’d gotten angry before, he’d never seen her this upset.
“Was it that someone bullied you? Tell your father, father will get that person and let you bully them back!”
“It’s brother Ye!” The Countess of Chaoxia’s eyes got redder but as she spoke, she changed to, “No, it’s Lou Qingwu! It’s Lou Qingwu! Father, you have to capture Lou Qingwu back here!”
“En?” Night Prince? Lou Qingwu?
Who was Lou Qingwu?
Imperial prince Zong thought for a while and then suddenly thought of emperor-brother’s birthday banquet, that shining and talented girl.
He pat the countess’ lower back and comforted, “What did the right prime minister’s eldest daughter do?”
“Wuwuwuw, father! Brother Ye’s going to be s.n.a.t.c.hed by that girl! Then what will your daughter do?! I don’t wanna, I wanna marry brother Ye! I don’t care!”
Countess of Chaoxia cried even harder and before, in trying to be reserved, she didn’t dare say that to her father, but now, she didn’t care.
She definitely wouldn’t let Lou Qingwu step up first and s.n.a.t.c.h her brother Ye!
Imperial prince Zong heard this and his face slightly changed.
He waved his hands to tell the servants to withdraw and then, hit his hand on her shoulder, “Yi’er ah, father told you before, in this whole Manchu court, the officials, the rich sons, the generals, whoever you like, father can make them marry you. All of them, apart from one person, the Night Prince. If he was willing, then father won’t say anything. But if he isn’t, then father won’t let you continue to make a fuss.”
Quite obviously, the Night Prince didn’t have any thoughts about his daughter in that aspect, or otherwise, in all these years, he wouldn’t have barely step foot in this residence.
If it was like that, then he definitely had to nip this bud early.
“Yi’er, listen to your father’s words, don’t think about that Night Prince, he’s not someone that you can handle.”
Countess of Chaoxia froze completely.
She’d never thought that her father who had spoilt her the most, would actually not agree.
She screamed, “I don’t care! Why can’t I marry the Night Prince?! No way, father you have to tell emperor-uncle tomorrow, tell him to make brother Ye marry me! I want to be his consort! No, go now! I need to marry brother Ye!”
“Yi’er, you’re making too much of a scene!”
Imperial prince Zong’s face coldened, “Apart from this, father can promise you everything else.”
“No! I want to marry brother Ye!”
“...” Imperial prince Zong watched her and his expression became even worse.
It seemed like he’d doted on her too much.
“This affair is finished. These few days, don’t leave the residence’s doors. Don’t even think about the Night Prince’s affairs.”
How could that person be someone that she could just want to marry and actually marry!
Even he didn’t dare to offend him, let alone a small little countess.
After speaking, he yelled towards the front, “Come someone, change the countess’ rooms and serve her well!”
“Yes!”
“Father!” The Countess of Chaoxia’s eyes were red as she resentfully cried out.
But this time, the imperial prince Zong seemed to have steeled himself and didn’t soften a single bit.
He waved his hands and the servants pulled the countess to leave.
The countess stared and saw that she could yell for the rest of the day and her father still wouldn’t change his mind, so she bit her lips and silently let the servants take her away.
But when she reached her new rooms, she threw and smashed everything again.
However, this time, the imperial prince Zong didn’t go and to the housekeeper who reported this, said, “Withdraw, let her calm down by herself.”
“Yes!”
If he didn’t rein her in now and waited until she truly provoked the Night Prince, then he was afraid that even then, he wouldn’t be able to save her.
But the imperial prince Zong didn’t know that she had already offended him, and not only that, had actually injured him.
When the news spread to the residence, the imperial prince nearly fainted.
He hurriedly put on his clothes, took some gifts as a peace offering and rushed to the Night Prince’s residence.

TL note:
Imperial prince Zong said to nip it in the bud but it’s already a full grown idea in the countess’ mind that she’s the future wife of Feng Yege
