Marrying a Opium Man
JEALOUS

“ Prince, according to you part of the palace. What is less? I do not know what is lacking but like there is less just the decoration. ” said Zhi staring around.

On the way, the two of them talked about the decoration before entering the palace hall.

“ All fitting. The decoration is beautiful, ” Prince Xing told Zhi.

Zhi smiling. “ All thanks to the hard work of the entire citizens of the palace. Hopefully you can enjoy it. ” said Zhi.

Prince Xing nodded. They had reached the courtyard of the hall, Eunuchs immediately shouted as if mentioning that the new empress Li Zhe with prince Xing entered the hall.

All the princes who were in their palace courtyard had been waiting for the presence of the two within the hall. They immediately lowered their bodies as if respecting the two of them while walking past him.

Li Zhe sat on his seat of greatness and prince Xing sat down next to him.

“ rise. ” says Zhi.

They all straightened up his body while simultaneously saying "May you live long."

Everyone sits on their benches. Li zhe stared towards the right, where the concubines stood behind a transparent curtain that half disguised them.

And that was of course the prince's concubine who was in the hall. They brought their wives to attend the meeting before the start of the new year welcoming event tomorrow.

“ Meeting starts. ” Eunuch shouted as Zhi looked at him.

Zhi immediately took a deep breath and then exhaled.

“ New Year's welcome this time will be very different from the new year's welcome last year. I hope you don't miss a single person, not to laugh the next day. I want everyone evenly divided to go to the village to keep an eye on things. Prince Zhao. ” Zhi glances towards her husband's throne.

But he squinted when the throne was empty. He looked at the other prince.

“ Where is prince Zhao? is he of any other interest than attending the meeting? ” ask Zhi.

One of the princes stood up. “ Servant permission to answer, empress. Prince Zhao has been away from the palace since you headed here. ” he said.

Zhi clenched his hands. Then he nodded and told her to sit down. Then he glanced at Prince Xing.

“ sorry for their negligence and look at the brash attitude of Prince Zhao, Prince Xing. ” Zhi said unkindly.

“ No papa, just relax. ” His chuckles.

Zhi nodded. The meeting began again without Prince Zhao, as if Zhi had not intentionally mentioned the name of Prince Zhao since he knew his husband had gone somewhere. And his work was hidden from them.

The meeting was based on the topic of village security and protecting the village from dangerous actions. And the execution of the punishment if anyone damages the mood of the holiday tomorrow. As per the decision, the princes would start their work with the clothes that Zhi had prepared with the help of prince Xing in the early hours around 2am.

Until the long meeting was finished because some of his opinions did not agree and the concubines who heard it were upset because they felt tight for tomorrow.

...***...

Zhi accidentally met with prince Xing on the way to the concubine's pavilion.

“ Prince Xing. Does anything make you uncomfortable? ” ask Zhi.

Prince Xing shook his head. “ I really like the atmosphere in this palace of yours. Many.. ” said.

Zhi nodded and smiled amiably. “ Come, follow the servant to the concubine pavilion. ” said Zhi.

“ You want to go there, Zhi? ” ask prince Xing.

Zhi nodded and prince Xing agreed. They both walked without any servants behind them. Supervise each of the servants to do their own duties.

“ May I ask you something? ” ask prince Xing.

“ Yes? ” ask Zhi.

“ why didn't you inform Prince Zhao of his duties during the meeting? ” asked Prince Xing who made Zhi speechless in his place.

“ I don't know. I just can't name her assignment tomorrow. Maybe next time or personally I will tell you. You don't have to worry. ” says Zhi.

Prince Xing nodded. “ Sorry if my presence troubles you. ” said prince Xing

“ Haha no papa. ” says Zhi chuckles.

Unknowingly his feet rested on one of the branches of a thorny tree. Until he immediately shouted when his feet were stuck in the thorn.

“ Aww... sshh.. ” Zhi held Prince Xing's arm as he nearly fell and raised one leg staring at his bleeding leg.

“ Here, let me treat. ” said Prince Xing while groping Zhi's leg.

Zhi was seen turning his face and closing his eyes when prince Xing lowered his head while treating his legs.

Zhi unintentionally looked at prince zhao who was staring at him sharply behind a tree. He smiled forcefully and then left.

“ Already done. ” said prince Xing.

Zhi then looked at his feet and attached them to the footwear. He thanked.

“ I say retreat first, prince. I only invite concubines to dinner, please join the queen in the hall. ” said Zhi politely.

Prince Xing nodded. “ Be careful. ” said.

Zhi simply smiled without nodding himself directly leaving the area and headed for the pavilion.
