Chapter 974: Chapter 774 I’m Only Bad to You

Even if she hadn’t met the wild brother, she would never marry someone like the Emperor.

He lacks responsibility. A single Tuoba Lie was able to pressure him into placing a great minister under house arrest. How disheartening must that have been for the wild brother.

And those ministers outside, unless they are responsible individuals like Prime Minister Yan, who is worldly and wise, the others probably don’t dare to speak up for the wild brother for fear of losing their positions. As long as the court remains stable and they can secure their official seats, that’s all that matters to them.

The Emperor glanced at Nan Feng and, noticing the frost in her eyes, he couldn’t help but speak to her lightly, "Lady Nan Feng, after not seeing you for several months, you seem to have become estranged from Us."

"Your Majesty, Nan Feng has never been close with Your Majesty," she replied.

"Oh, is that so?" The Emperor’s lips twitched slightly. "Then We have misunderstood. We thought Lady Nan Feng felt the same way We did, that we were friends."

"How could Nan Feng possess the virtues and abilities worthy of being Your Majesty’s friend? Please, Your Majesty, do not say such things; Nan Feng fears it would shorten her life. To be friends with the Son of Heaven, one must have a certain fate," Nan Feng responded, her tone still even.

The Emperor smiled awkwardly, feeling unwelcome if he stayed any longer, so he rose and said, "Since that is the case, then We shall not impose any further. As the Son of Heaven, there are many things We do not do by desire, and no matter how We decide, We hope you can understand Us."

The wild brother stood up, "We respectfully see Your Majesty off."

...

The Great Zhou Dynasty.

After the Crown Prince finished his court duties, he went straight back to his Crown Prince’s Residence.

Inside the residence, his Crown Princess was in the back garden playing a game of blind man’s bluff with a group of palace maids.

The Crown Princess had never been one for strict etiquette and enjoyed blending in with the palace maids. If the Crown Prince didn’t have time to keep her company, she always found ways to amuse herself, like playing blind man’s bluff, where the person caught would be the next to be blindfolded.

Upon seeing the Crown Prince enter, the palace maids immediately bowed in greeting, but the Crown Prince gestured for silence with a "shush" and then dismissed them.

The Crown Princess used her hearing to locate the players; wherever she heard noise, she would reach out. After a moment of silence, she heard some sounds from a direction and quickly ran to grab that person. However, upon touching them, something felt off. Another touch confirmed the person’s scent was all too familiar. She quickly removed her blindfold to see it was the Crown Prince and couldn’t help but scold, "You scoundrel!"

The Crown Prince wrapped his arms around her from behind, kissing her ear, "I’m only bad to you."

Instantly, the Crown Princess’s anger turned to laughter as she clung to his hands, "Tired? I’ll go make some tea for you."

"Alright, my Nini knows best how to make tea. It was Longjing yesterday; what is it today?"

The Crown Princess smiled, "Today, it’s floral tea, Jasmine Tea."

"Floral tea?" The Crown Prince chuckled, "Sounds good. I’ve been discussing state affairs with Father today and my throat is parched. Let’s chat over tea."

Originally the second prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was not long ago that he was appointed as the Crown Prince. Consequently, Nangong Nini naturally became the Crown Princess. The affections between the Crown Prince and Nangong Nini were strong, especially after Nangong Nini bore him a little prince, he doted on her even more.

"Where’s Doudou?" The second prince asked.

"I let Mother take him to play this morning; she said she would send him back after lunch."

"You really are easygoing," the Crown Prince laughed. "You’re always letting Mother play with Doudou. Aren’t you afraid she’ll spoil him rotten?"

"How can he be spoiled? Mother is Doudou’s grandmother; how can a grandmother spoil her grandchild? Besides, when Mother watches Doudou, I get to play hide and seek."
