Married To The Cruel Crown Prince

Wang Hao arrived in Luoyang, however, instead of going home, he first reported in the Palace to the Empress. After assuring her that the Emperor would have reached Changying safely, he left for his residence.

"Your Majesty, please drink this medicinal tonic," Court Lady Ki told Ying Lili, who hummed. After she finished, Court Lady Ki took the bowl from her and put it on the tray.

"It is your time to take a walk. The morning has turned colder, so His Majesty has changed your time for the walk in the royal garden," Court Lady Xu informed Ying Lili, who nodded.

As they came out of the chamber, they found Weng Yu, who was waiting for Ying Lili.

"Prince Yu." Ying Lili was puzzled to see him.

Weng Yu formally greeted her first and then said, "Since Brother Sheng is not here, I have decided to be around you, Sister Lili. You can," he placed his hand on his chest, "trust this youngest brother of yours."

Ying Lili ended up smiling and they walked to the Royal garden.

"How are Brother Yu's studies going on?" Ying Lili queried him.

"It is going great, Sister Lili. I have gotten to learn numerous things. Brother Nianzu shared some great Scholar books with me," Weng Yu answered.

"Brother Yu is growing exceptionally faster. I still remember the day when I saw him for the first time and he was so timid with his Fifth Brother. I am glad that his personality has developed so beautifully," Ying Lili complimented him.

"That is because Sister Lili showed me the path. Brother Sheng is indeed very sweet. I was so wrong about him," Weng Yu said and smiled.

"Sister Lili shall praise me too. Even, I have a marvelous transformation in my personality," they heard the voice of Lei Wanxi, who came to the front and greeted Ying Lili.

Zhu Lin was also with him.

"Words seem less to praise Brother Wanxi," Ying Lili said with a tiny smile. "His personality has always been attractive to me. He has such a charming smile that anyone's heart will melt," she stated.

Lei Wanxi gazed at Zhu Lin. "Did you fall for my smile?" he asked straightforwardly.

Ying Lili tilted her head to look at Zhu Lin, who quickly bowed before her.

"Did Sister Zhu Lin fall for Brother Wanxi because he has a charming smile?" Weng Yu asked her curiously.

"The Sixth Prince has a cheerful personality. Indeed, his smile is charming similar to a young kid," Zhu Lin confessed.

Lei Wanxi giggled upon hearing that and came near Zhu Lin.

Ying Lili was happy to see their joy. She started to walk while they all followed her.

Wang Hao upon reaching the residence asked about his father first from Huo Jin, who told him about the last night's incident that occurred with Yin Na.

"What? Liang Wu did this?" Wang Hao was not able to believe it.

"Does General Wang know Liang Wu?" Huo Jin asked him.

"I am only acquainted with him. He is the son of one of the respected Court Ministers," Wang Hao asserted as he took out the armor off his torso. Huo Jin put it on the table and then turned to him.

"Yin Na has stepped back from the marriage. They both had an argument. Forgive me, General Wang. I did not look after Yin Na and she had to hear that," Huo Jin lowered his eyes with guilt.

"Do not apologize, Huo Jin. Yin Na made a good decision to not marry Xu Wenhai. He is good but as I said, he's not suitable for her," Wang Hao asserted.

"I will talk to you later as I need to meet Bai Yaling. Inform me when Father will arrive," Wang Hao said and left for his quarter in the residence.

Huo Jin came out of the room and turned to his left when got startled to see Yin Na in front of him. He saw a tray in her hand over which a silver glass was put.

He turned and walked in the opposite direction.

"Is he ignoring me?" Yin Na murmured and hastened towards him.

"Huo Jin, don't run away," she said loudly as she found him walking faster than usual. "Don't ignore me else I will stick by your side all the time," she stated.

Huo Jin halted at his place when Yin Na ran to him. She came in front of him and handed him the water glass.

"Drink it," she urged him.

"Why?" Huo Jin asked her and looked into the water glass. "Don't tell me you have mixed that love potion in it that one oldie was selling a few days ago," he remarked and then peered at her.

Yin Na was dumbfounded to hear it.

"How do you know? Indeed, I bought a love potion from him since many girls were purchasing it," Yin Na stated.

"I had not expected this from you," Huo Jin said.

"I was joking, Huo Jin. I will never do such a stupid act. Also, I know that the potion was fake," Yin Na said. "You were working for an hour, so I thought to give you water."

She placed her hand over her chest. "I was showing you what care feels like. Did any woman do this for you?" Yin Na asked him.

"Drink it, Huo Jin," she again told him.

Huo Jin was thirsty, so he drank the water. He thanked her and put the glass on the tray. He walked past her while Yin Na followed him.

"You promised me that you would teach me archery. It has been more than two days since you made me practice," Yin Na asserted.New chapters are published on NoᴠelFɪre.net

"I am afraid but I need to go to the Palace," Huo Jin stated.

"Oh." Yin Na got upset. "When will you return?" She asked him.

"Probably in the evening," he replied. "Why do you ask?" He promptly questioned her.

"I want us to have lunch together," Yin Na affirmed.

"That's not possible. I will be outside for some work," Huo Jin said. He had planned to beat Liang Wu, however, he did not prefer to tell about it to Yin Na.
