"Hahaha...! Good!" The Fourth Prince laughed heartily with joy.
The previously heavy atmosphere was completely swept away.
Situ Qinger pleased the Fourth Prince, clearing away the gloomy mood of the recent days.
Situ Yongjie saw his second daughter amusing the Fourth Prince to such delight, and he was very happy. The key point was that the Fourth Prince wouldn’t go and provoke his eldest daughter again. Otherwise, if the War Prince got angry, even the Imperial court would quake thrice. If anything happened to the Fourth Prince and The Emperor blad him, it would be hard for him to continue as a minister.
Just like that, the Fourth Prince left after happily staying in the General’s Mansion for dinner.
Ti flies like an arrow, and days pass by like a shuttle; in the blink of an eye, two days had gone by.
On this day, it was the day of Celestial Master Zhang’s invitation. Xuexue managed everything early in the morning, preparing to visit the Celestial Master’s Mansion. This Celestial Master Zhang, relentless like a ghost, regularly entangled with Situ Yongjie, as Xuexue knew, and subtly inquired about news related to the Little Tiger.
These pieces of information were extrely dangerous, and she decided to investigate at the Celestial Master’s Mansion to find out why Celestial Master Zhang was so interested in the Little Tiger.
Due to her outwardly unflattering standing in the War Prince’s Mansion, she didn’t bring any gifts when visiting the Celestial Master’s Mansion.
Of course, this was intentional on Xuexue’s part. With her current wealth, gifting a city would not be a problem. Not to ntion how big her business was, just the engagent gifts from the War Prince alone constituted a substantial fortune.
Naturally, this list had not been seen by many people, so no one knew the value of Situ Xuexue’s engagent gifts, otherwise, The Emperor would be anxious to death to know how much the War Prince valued Xuexue.
The people outside only knew that the War Prince had sent many engagent gifts to the General’s Mansion, but didn’t know their value. However, the procession for delivering the gifts was quite grand, which was understandable. The War Prince wielded power and influence, and with a re stomp of his foot, Moli Country would quake thrice. These engagent gifts were considered very normal by everybody.
The Celestial Master’s Mansion, at the front gate.
Both sides of the avenue were lined with luxurious carriages, with many noble young ladies carefully getting off the carriages with the assistance of their maids.
A carriage bearing the emblem of the War Prince’s Mansion slowly stopped at the gate of the Celestial Master’s Mansion.
The noble ladies at the entrance stopped at once, and turned their heads, staring intently. To them, the War Prince’s Mansion carriage was of supre importance.
Zi Xia nimbly jumped out of the carriage, then imdiately reached up to brush aside the curtain, calling softly, "Miss, please co down."
A delicate hand extended from the curtain, followed by a pink shoe stepping onto the ground.
Everyone watched attentively, wondering who this illustrious person was, and why they had co to the Celestial Master’s Mansion. In their hearts, they constantly speculated, as today the wife of the Celestial Master invited everyone to a gathering. The attendees were all won, and indeed, the War Prince’s Mansion had welcod two new female masters recently. Yet they did not know if the one coming today was the Princess Consort or a Consort.
Imdiately, a slim young woman stepped down, appearing to be around fifteen or sixteen years old, with white skin and eyes like a tranquil pool. In her every glance, there was a certain elegant and noble aura that captivated people, making them feel ashad and unworthy to disrespect her. However, within her cold and proud deanor lay a captivating charm, drawing others irresistibly. Everyone stood transfixed, seeing the age of this woman, and it seed she was not the Principal Wife of the War Prince.
It was rumored outside that the Princess Consort of the War Prince had spent years in a brothel, and her age was around twenty or so. If this lady wasn’t from the War Prince’s Mansion, then there was only one explanation: she was the legitimate eldest Miss of the General’s Mansion.
