Chapter 480: The Princess Consort’s Anger

He became slightly distressed as he walked into the Princess Consort’s yard.

Ruxue was going to become the Princess Consort, so she had to live in the best yard. If the Princess Consort remained in the same yard, then he had to build an even better one for Ruxue, but he was running out of money to afford any more expenses. Therefore, if the Princess Consort could be understanding enough during the talk, he could mention this matter too. If she got angry, then he could wait. There was always going to be a way out.

When Zhou Huailing made up his mind, he continued to hurry to the Princess Consort’s room.

Shao, who was waiting outside, looked slightly nervous at the sight of Zhou Huailing. “Lord, I will speak with her first.”

Zhou Huailing was feeling very happy today, so he was not bothered to speak with a maid. So he threw a look at her and said with displeasure. “No need, I can walk by myself.” Then he pushed the door open and walked in.

The Princess Consort was in the middle of reading a book. She found it curious that he was here in her room right now, but she showed a calm expression on her face. “What is it, Lord?”

Zhou Huailing was in a good mood, so he did not care about her coldness. Also, he was here to make the Princess Consort compromise.

He showed a gentle smile, and pointed at the Princess Consort, suggesting that she should take a seat.

Seeing his gesture, the Princess Consort did not move and instead sat where she was, staring at Zhou Huailing. She had no intention of approaching him.

“Well, it is fine if you are there, I am just here to talk with you about something,” Zhou Huailing said with a smile as he took a sip of the tea.

The Princess Consort did not say anything. She looked at him, waiting for him to start the speech.

Zhou Huailing took another sip of tea. “You have seen what happened at Ruxue’s Adulthood Ceremony today. The birds were gathering, and that was a conspicuous omen!”

“So?” The Princess Consort had no idea what he was aiming at. She did not pester Gu Ruxue even if it was against tradition that she was married to him in this way. She could just ignore her since she did not like her. She had no intention of wasting any more time caring about that. So why was she involved with any of this?

With the Princess Consort’s question, Zhou Huailing felt even more assured.

He said with a modest tone, “So I spoke with my father and mother about this, and I believe that a blessed girl like Ruxue should become my Princess Consort. She is lucky, and with her around, I can do anything easily. So I think that you will understand me, right?”

The Princess Consort looked at Zhou Huailing, half unsure about what he was aiming at, but she seemed to have gotten the point as well.

Her hands were shivering slightly. She just could not believe that what she guessed might be right.

She tried hard to stabilize herself and said with a shivering tone. “Please clarify the point.”
