His Rui

When Zhao Zhang Wei left the Imperial Study room, his face looked no different from the face with which he had entered the room.

All in all, he looked too cold and indifferent making no one approach him.

He went to Xinhe Palace and took a short bath.

After taking a bath, clad in his new robes, he left his chambers.

Eunuch Zhang looked confused when he saw him walking out of the chambers instead of taking a rest.

He wanted to follow him and persuade him to rest inside but Zhao Zhang Wei immediately raised his hand to stop Eunuch Zhang from following him.

"Leave Benwang alone"

Eunuch Zhang could only obey his master.

A few moments later, Zhao Zhang Wei was standing behind the large bushes inside the Imperial Garden as he stared ahead silently.

He didn't even know what he was doing there.

But he knew for whom he was here.

He wanted to see Yi Huiqing. Perhaps he remembered the image of Yi Huiqing painting inside the Imperial Garden with a peaceful face from a few days ago when he was staring at her from the same place he was standing at today.

So he unconsciously thought that he will find her here today also.

Zhao Zhang Wei sighed heavily.

He really wished to see and hug his wife in his arms at this moment but with what face he could go there when she had asked him not to show his face ever again.

With slow and heavy steps, he walked towards the only seating place inside the garden.

Sitting there, Zhao Zhang Wei silently stared at a place under the large tree.

The image of a child running around as the melodious sound of laughter of a woman rang in the air flashed in his mind.

"Concubine Shaolin greets Wangye."

A soft feminine voice interrupted Zhao Zhang Wei's thoughts and he turned around with a frown on his forehead.

After looking at the woman for a few moments, he recognized her as the concubine he had taken just a few months ago.

Concubine Shaolin smiled softly. She was dressed very beautifully and her beautiful face looked very soft in the darkness of the night.

All in all, she looked very beautiful and her beauty could easily seduce a man.

However, Zhao Zhang Wei's eyes remained indifferent and he turned his head away after giving a nod in acknowledgment of her greeting.

Concubine Shaolin's beautiful eyes dimmed immediately and she clenched her fists tightly. However, the soft smile on her lips never went away.

She stepped forward and whispered

"Is Wangye remembering Imperial Consort Shu? This concubine is also feeling a little sad as today is Consort Shu's death anniversary."

Zhao Zhang Wei's cold eyes immediately moved to Concubine Shaolin again.

Zhao Zhang Wei had never liked it when someone in the Imperial Palace talked about his mother in front of him.

He wanted to ask her to go away but seeing the sincere sorrow on her face, he couldn't even say that.

If someone was remembering his mother sincerely then he didn't mind it however there were fewer people of that kind in this Imperial Palace.

Just like today, it is his mother's death anniversary. But no one except him seems to remember it.

Concubine Shaolin was the first person who mentioned it in front of him.

Bitternes flahsed in his eyes. Instead of urging him to go and kneel in front of his mother's grave, the Emperor asked him to go and kneel in front of Zhao Zhuang Chen Palace.

On the other hand, Concubine Shaolin's eyes flickered with happiness when she saw that Zhao Zhang Wei didn't look that cold towards her.

She had been very wise to wait for this moment. Now she will win the prince's heart and slowly and slowly his favor also.

Then she will see how that Yi Huiqing will dare to snatch the prince from her.

With a cold hmph inside her heart for Yi Huiqing, Concubine Shaolin smiled sadly and whispered again

"Although I have never seen Noble Consort Shu, my mother used to talk a lot about her. She knew almost everything about Noble Consort Shu, after all, they have been very good childhood friends at some time."

She successfully attracted Zhao Zhang Wei's attention as he immediately looked at her.

Concubine Shaolin's fists were still clenched but this time it was because of excitement. She didn't want to leave this opportunity so she continued.

"Does Wangye want to hear some mischievous things Noble Consort Shu used to do in her childhood?"

Zhao Zhang Wei unconsciously nodded his head.

He really wished to hear about his mother. He wanted to keep her in his memories.

He wanted her to know that someone was still there who remembers her.

So Concubine Shaolin told Zhao Zhang Wei the stories of his mother's childhood…the stories that her mother used to tell her.

In between, Zhao Zhang Wei sometimes smiled as he imagined his young mother doing all those things Concubine Shaolin was mentioning.

From far away, both of them presented a picture of a man and woman indulged in a very sweet and interesting conversation but in the Imperial Palace, this picture represented that Concubine Shaolin was very close to the second Prince.

And the same scene caught Yi Huiqing's eyes when she came to stroll inside the Imperial Graden with her personal maidservant after having dinner.

Zhao Zhang Wei who had come here to have a glance at Yi Huiqing was now lost in hearing those incidents by Concubine Shaolin so he never noticed her.

Yi Huiqing, however, noticed the smile on his lips.

Her eyes didn't have much of an expression. But Lin Daiyu who was standing behind her mistress didn't like it even a bit.

She suddenly felt a little ashamed that just in the afternoon, she was advising her mistress to go and take care of Wangye.

The second Prince was really fickle.

Here she thought that now he really loved her mistress and hence her mistress should not leave hope now and there he was talking very harmoniously with Concubine Shaolin …the same concubine who doesn't leave any chance to go against her mistress.

Yi Huiqing just stood there only for a few moments. A few moments later, she said

"Let's not disturb Wangye and go back to Lantai Courtyard."

Saying this, she calmly went back to her courtyard followed by sullen Lin Daiyu.

Eunuch Zhang who had come to the Imperial Garden with a shawl in his hand that he wanted to give to his master was surprised to see her leaving the Imperial Garden.

He soon composed himself and greeted Yi Huiqing when she passed by his side. After that, he hurriedly went to Imperial Garden. His master always feels very sad after Wangfei leaves him.

Inside his heart, he also understood why Zhao Zhang Wei came to the garden at this time.

However, seeing the scene different from his imagination inside the Imperial garden, Eunuch Wang sighed heavily.

Did his master even know that Wangfei visited the garden?
