Prince Dai, upon learning that Miss Kong, daughter of the Minister of Rites, secretly became a nun at the Bodhi Temple, angrily took a sword and chopped the table in front of him in half.
"Minister Kong dares to make a fool of me!" With that, he stormed out with the sword.
At this moment, Princess Consort Dai approached. Seeing Prince Dai with a grim face and holding a sword as if about to kill someone, she hurriedly stopped him.
"Your Highness, where are you going in such a manner?"
"I’m going to kill Minister Kong!" Prince Dai’s voice was filled with rage, "How dare he mock me!"
"What did Minister Kong do?" Princess Consort Dai rarely saw Prince Dai so furious that his handsome face turned ferocious.
Fu Zhong quickly explained, "Your Highness, Minister Kong allowed his youngest daughter to secretly bee a nun at the Bodhi Temple."
"What?" Princess Consort Dai looked shocked, then frowned and asked, "Is this true?"
Fu Zhong replied, "The news is true. Minister Kong’s youngest daughter has indeed bee a nun."
Prince Dai sneered, "Minister Kong really doesn’t take me seriously!" For Prince Dai, Minister Kong would rather let his daughter bee a nun than marry him. This was a blatant humiliation to him. "I will make him realize the consequences of offending me."
Princess Consort Dai once again blocked Prince Dai, "Your Highness, are you going to kill Minister Kong?"
"I want to kill his entire family!"
Only Princess Consort Dai faced the furious Prince Dai without fear. Fu Zhong and the others were already trembling with fear.
"Your Highness, if you kill Minister Kong’s entire family now, you will bee unreasonable." Princess Consort Dai reached out to take Prince Dai’s hand, then led him back into the room.
Even though Prince Dai was furious, he obediently allowed Princess Consort Dai to lead him back into the house.
Princess Consort Dai gave Fu Zhong a signal, and Fu Zhong immediately understood and went out.
After a while, Fu Zhong returned with a cup of tea.
Princess Consort Dai took the tea and handed it to Prince Dai.
"Your Highness, have a sip to calm down."
Prince Dai took the teacup and immediately drank a couple of sips, slightly alleviating the fire in his heart.
Princess Consort Dai sat down opposite Prince Dai. She spoke gently, "I will personally visit Bodhi Temple tomorrow morning to see if Miss Kong has really bee a nun."
Prince Dai said with a sullen face, "The news can’t be wrong."
"We still need to confirm it," Princess Consort Dai said. "If Miss Kong has really bee a nun, what are you planning to do, put the whole Kong family to death?"
"Minister Kong has humiliated me like this; how can I let him go?" Prince Dai, who had been favored by the emperor since childhood, had never experienced such an insult.
Princess Consort Dai sharply asked, "Do you still want the Kong family’s support?"
Prince Dai was stunned by the question. Of course, he wanted the support of the Kong family, but how could he tolerate their humiliation?
Seeing Prince Dai not respond, Princess Consort Dai knew he still desired the Kong family’s support.
"Your Highness, even if Miss Kong became a nun, she could still marry into the mansion."
Upon hearing this, Prince Dai looked at Princess Consort Dai with puzzled eyes.
"What do you mean?"
"Your Highness, even if Miss Kong has bee a nun, she can return to secular life." Princess Consort Dai smiled, "Simply have Miss Kong return to secular life."
Prince Dai said with disdain, "I don’t want to marry a nun."
"Your Highness, you’re marrying a daughter of the Kong family, not Miss Kong herself." Princess Consort Dai, in her heart, did not want Miss Kong to enter the mansion, but she understood the benefits of Prince Dai marrying Miss Kong. For Prince Dai’s great cause, she allowed Miss Kong to marry into the mansion. "If you dislike her, I will arrange for her to live in the West Garden of the mansion so you won’t see her."
Prince Dai frowned and said, "Minister Kong’s youngest daughter has bee a nun. Can she return to secular life?"
"As long as the emperor decrees for her to return to secular life, she must do so." Princess Consort Dai sneered, "If she doesn’t want to return to secular life, then only death awaits her."
Prince Dai chuckled, "I’d like to see if Minister Kong and his family dare to die."
"Your Highness, once it is confirmed that Miss Kong has really bee a nun, you should immediately request the emperor to annul this marriage."
Upon hearing this, Prince Dai slightly raised his brows and then said meaningfully, "I know what to do."
"Your Highness, this matter originally stems from the Kong family’s breach of etiquette. The most important thing is that they disregarded the dignity of the Imperial Family and angered the emperor." Princess Consort Dai said, "The emperor will not easily forgive the Kong family, and by then, Your Highness, you can plead for them."
Prince Dai laughed, "Good idea."
Princess Consort Dai reminded, "Your Highness, just pretend that you didn’t hear about this matter today."
Prince Dai slightly nodded, "I understand."
