Hearing this, Zhao Lingfeng thought it was a test and quickly said, "I have admired Wei Yang for a long time. Even though I have never met her, I have heard of her reputation."
"Although Wei Yang is a woman, she possesses the demeanor of a noble family and is a heroine. I have long been infatuated with Wei Yang."
I listened from behind the screen, laughing so hard my stomach hurt.
The rumors about me in the outside world painted me as an unseemly ugly woman.
Yet Zhao Lingfeng could speak so eloquently.
Truly impressive.
The princess consort shook her head with a smile, "Wei Yang, the Crown Prince has arrived; you should come out and meet him."
Zhao Lingfeng's expression brightened, and he clenched his fist, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Princess Consort!"
He excitedly looked up in my direction.
I stood up and walked toward the screen.
Zhao Lingfeng waited outside the screen with great respect.
I walked around the screen and stood face to face with him.
The moment he saw me, all the color drained from his face.
He suddenly took two steps back, exclaiming, "You... what are you doing here?!"
I smiled lightly, "Crown Prince, I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
Zhao Lingfeng quickly turned to look at my father and mother.
He hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, Princess Consort, there is no genuine affection between Hua Weiyang and me; only entanglements of interest. I have no true feelings for Hua Weiyang; please see this clearly!"
My father slammed his teacup down on the table with a heavy thud.
My mother smiled and waved at me, "Wei Yang, come here."
Zhao Lingfeng was momentarily stunned, looking at me in disbelief.
His expression shifted from shock to astonishment, then to fear, and finally turned into regret.
He opened his mouth, "You... you are the Daughter of the War King?"
My father stood up and angrily walked toward him, "What else could it be?!"
Zhao Lingfeng was so frightened that his face turned pale. "I, I..." Before he could finish his sentence, the king had already walked up to him and kicked him out into the courtyard.
The king angrily said, "I've tolerated you for a long time!"
"How dare you let my daughter be your mistress? You think you deserve that?!"
"My daughter is more than enough to be an empress!"
"What are you even worth?"
Zhao Lingfeng fell to the ground, clutching his stomach in pain. He ignored the hurt and quickly got up to kneel properly. "Your Highness, I was wrong. I failed to recognize your greatness; I was blind. Please forgive me!"
The king snorted coldly, "Someone, throw him out!"
Zhao Lingfeng's expression changed as he tried to struggle. However, the guards in the house came over, grabbed him on either side, and threw him out of the house.
I was beside the king and queen mother, watching Zhao Lingfeng's embarrassed state, unable to hold back my laughter.
The king glanced at Zhao Lingfeng and said, "Daring to bully my daughter, we'll settle this score slowly."
News of Zhao Lingfeng being thrown out of War King Manor quickly spread throughout the capital. Many people witnessed that scene. Soon after, someone reported this incident to the emperor regarding Zhao Lingfeng.
Although the emperor feared Zhao Lingfeng, he was even more afraid of his own sons eyeing his throne. Zhao Lingfeng had first taken the Prime Minister's daughter as a consort and now sought to marry the Daughter of the War King; this crossed a taboo for the emperor.
Zhao Lingfeng was summoned by the emperor and severely reprimanded, with his salary docked, raising some doubts about him. After this incident, everyone in the capital knew that War King Manor still held a transcendent status in the emperor's heart.
In no time, visitors came in droves.
