"Do as you please." The King of Wen had no opinion at all about where the Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom would live. As long as she didn't bother him on a daily basis, it was fine. However, the King of Wen forgot that the eastern courtyard was prepared for his future princess.
One day, a piece of news spread in the capital city. It was said that His Highness the King of Wen and the Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom were in love and were going to get married.
This was a major event, so the news spread extremely fast. In less than half a day, it was known to everyone.
"Did you do this?!" As soon as the King of Wen heard this news, the first person he thought of was the Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom. Because apart from her, he couldn't think of anyone else who would do such a thing.
The Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom was reading the unofficial history of the Qin Dynasty. She was startled by the sudden noise of the King of Wen kicking open the door. The book in her hand fell to the ground. But she quickly regained her composure.
"What's wrong, Your Highness the King of Wen? Why are you so angry?" The Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom looked at the King of Wen leisurely.
"Don't play dumb with me. Did you send someone to spread the rumor in the capital city today?" He originally planned to give her a reply in a few days. He never expected that this woman would try to force him to submit by using public opinion.
"What rumor?" The Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom blinked her eyes in confusion. She hadn't even left the house today. When did this happen? What was being spread?
"Today, everyone in the capital city is saying that I'm in love with the Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom and that we'll get married soon." The King of Wen gritted his teeth as he said this.
"But it's a fact. Why are you so angry?" The Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom didn't understand. It was a settled fact. Was it really necessary to be so angry?
"I haven't agreed to marry you yet. How can you say that I've agreed?" The King of Wen wished he could just chop off this woman's head in front of him.
"Let me make it clear first. I didn't spread the rumor outside. I haven't even left the house. Besides, let them say it. It's going to happen sooner or later. Why are you so excited?" Marrying me won't do you any harm. Really, looking at your expression, one would think someone had snatched your child.
"You..." The King of Wen was shocked by the Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom's words. This woman was so thick - skinned. She was simply unreasonable!
"Enough! I haven't even disliked the concubines in your backyard yet." She endured this because she knew that men from other countries were different from men in the Snow Feather Kingdom.
Otherwise, she would have gotten rid of those women in his backyard long ago. How could she have let them live?
"Humph! It's normal for a man to have multiple wives and concubines. If you can't stand it, you can go find someone else. Why do you keep pestering me?" The King of Wen looked at the Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom and said. He just didn't understand why this woman had chosen him.
"Of course not. As the Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom, I have this much tolerance." It wasn't the right time to deal with the women in his backyard yet. After they got married, she would see if there could be any other women in his backyard besides her.
"Humph! I hope you mean what you say." After saying this, the King of Wen left with his entourage.
"How is the King of the Grassland doing recently?" The Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom looked at the back of the King of Wen as he left and asked.
"Your Majesty, the King of the Grassland went shopping with the Marquis of Zhongning a few days ago. He didn't know what he came into contact with, but he had an allergic reaction. Now he's recuperating in the post - station." It was really pitiful for the King of the Grassland. He had been in the Qin Dynasty for so long, but only had an allergic reaction now. He was really too careless.
The Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom curled her lips after hearing this. An allergic reaction? That couldn't be right. With the King of the Grassland's personality, how could he let himself have an allergic reaction? Chances were that someone had set him up.
But what did it matter to her? The King of the Grassland hadn't told her anything, and she didn't know anything either. Sometimes, one just needed to feign ignorance while actually knowing everything.
"Your Majesty, do we need to go and visit him?"
"No. We'll just act as if we don't know about this." What's there to visit? If we visit, we'll have to give gifts. She didn't have any money.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I understand." Anyway, whatever the Emperor said was what it was. As subordinates, they just needed to follow the orders.
"How is Eunuch Hai doing?" The King of Wen looked at the night sky outside the window in the darkness and asked.
"Master, everything is going smoothly with Eunuch Hai. He has completely taken control of Concubine Mu. Eunuch Hai is deeply infiltrating the palace. I believe he will succeed soon."
"Humph. Tell Eunuch Hai to be more discreet on a daily basis. Don't think I don't know what he's been up to." The King of Wen had long known what was on his mind. As long as it didn't affect his plan, he would just let him be. The last time when the elder brother was the Emperor, Eunuch Hai had already been exposed. If it weren't for the King of Wen's efforts to protect him, he wouldn't be alive.
"Yes, I understand." The secret guard despised Eunuch Hai in his heart. A eunuch was actually so keen on that kind of thing. Without that part of his body, what kind of pleasure could he possibly experience? It was really laughable.
"By the way, Master, the King of the Grassland claims to be ill due to acclimatization, but in fact, he was plotted against. He was drugged by Jing Xunchè and became like this." He was really stupid.
"Really? Should I send something to show my concern then?" The King of Wen twirled the ring on his finger and said. "Go and prepare properly. We'll go and visit the King of the Grassland tomorrow."
"Yes."
Cordyceps sinensis, deer antler, ginseng. Looking at the tonics brought by the King of Wen, the King of the Grassland wished he could throw both the man and the tonics out. What did this mean? Was he hinting that he was impotent?
"I heard that the King of the Grassland is ill, so I brought some tonics to visit. I hope the King of the Grassland won't mind." The King of Wen curled his lips as he looked at the darkened face of the King of the Grassland.
"Your Highness the King of Wen is being too polite. Are these kinds of tonics common in your mansion? I'd advise Your Highness the King of Wen to be less indulgent in women."
The implied meaning of the King of the Grassland's words was obvious. You're the one with kidney deficiency who needs a big tonic, not me.
"The King of the Grassland has misunderstood. These are tonics I specifically bought from outside. I've already asked the doctor. These tonics are the most nourishing." The King of Wen kicked the ball back to the King of the Grassland. It's you who needs to nourish your body, not me. You've only become acclimatized after coming here for so long. Isn't it because your body is weak? You'd better nourish yourself quickly.
The King of the Grassland looked at the King of Wen and wished he could slap him out. But he knew he couldn't, because he still needed the Queen of the Snow Feather Kingdom to win him over. Offending this man now would do no good in the future.
"In that case, I'll thank Your Highness the King of Wen for his kindness." After saying that, he waved his hand and told the guards to take these things away.
"I still have something to do, so I won't disturb the King of the Grassland's rest. I'll take my leave." Now that his purpose had been achieved, the King of Wen didn't stay any longer. He left with his entourage.
