Because she was afraid that Aunt Cui would be worried, she sneaked back to her room like a thief when she returned home, changed into home clothes before going to greet her, but Aunt Cui didn't notice anything unusual, and she finally got through it.
But that doesn't mean the matter is over.
The next day, King Ke personally came to apologize. Not only did he present jewelry and medicinal materials, but also a land deed to a shop in the West City. "A small gift, a small apology, and I hope Mrs. Cui will understand."
Ye Zhenzhen already knew the news that Princess Ke had been grounded for half a year, and now she saw King Ke personally visiting her home. Her attitude was cordial and gentle, and she was extremely surprised. She always felt that King Ke was definitely not such an approachable person, and she just felt very awkward.
She glanced at Cui Weizhen, picked up the land deed from the box, added another two thousand taels, and pushed it to King Ke along with other things, "Thank you for your trouble, Your Highness. The store in the West Market was negotiated by Mrs. Yu and I earlier.
This is the agreed price, please transfer it to Your Highness. As for the remaining items... It is enough for Your Highness to give us an explanation."
King Ke looked at the woman in front of him. She was not as dazzling as she was when he first saw her in the palace, nor was she as pale and fragile as she was after falling into the water yesterday. It was probably because she was at home. She did not apply makeup, and her natural and willful beauty was like a hibiscus emerging from the water. No one else had seen it.
He always showed awe, restraint, flattery or admiration, and his expression was relaxed and calm, as if he was just an ordinary young man.
His eyes dimmed slightly and he stared at her intently, "Mrs. Cui is unwilling to forgive me?"
This look was inexplicably uncomfortable, like a prey being stared at by a wild beast. Ye Zhenzhen moved uncomfortably, and Cui Weizhen grabbed her hand. He seemed to inadvertently block King Ke's sight.
, said, "Madam, you are not feeling well, please go back to your room and rest first."
Ye Zhenzhen was slightly startled. This was the first time that Cui Weizhen called her Madam. However, it was not appropriate to reveal her maiden name to her husband, so it was also right to call her like this.
She left with a calm expression. As for her discomfort, it was just an excuse to get rid of her and save some face for King Ke.
Even so, King Ke's face still looked a little ugly. After Ye Zhenzhen's figure completely disappeared, he said coldly, "It seems that Wei Zhen is biased against this king."
Cui Weizhen said, "Your Highness is serious. My wife went into the water to rescue people yesterday and was not in good health after she came back. Today, Your Highness came to visit us. We just held on in order not to be rude. Now that His Highness has made a decision, we are already satisfied and dare not be dissatisfied again."
.”
Oil and salt do not enter, water does not leak, and there is no flaw at all.
Reminiscent of the process of wooing and enticing him in the past half month, frustration and impatience gradually grew in King Ke's heart, and his dark eyes became increasingly gloomy. It seemed that this person was indeed unable to be used by him.
He stood up, no longer as gentle and polite as before, and regained the dignity and pride that he deserved as the most favored prince. He gave him a faint look and said, "I understand, you may accept those gifts or not."
, I’ll leave it to you and take my leave.”
After speaking, he tossed his sleeves and left. The sound of horse hooves at the door gradually faded away, and the giant Buddha finally left.
Ye Zhenzhen returned to the study and said worriedly, "Weizhen, we have offended King Ke, will he take revenge on us?"
Cui Weizhen laughed, touched her head, and comforted her, "King Ke's capacity is not so small. He just took off the mask of disguise. Sooner or later, this happened. If we solve it sooner, I will be able to do it sooner."
Be free from the troubles of hypocrisy and hypocrisy.”
Ye Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief. Although King Ke threw up his sleeves and left, the two thousand taels of silver still had to be sent to Mrs. Yu. She wanted a specialty store of her own and didn't want to get one without knowing why.
