The Princess Of 100 Talents
Chapter #29

Inside the palace, Prince Rong was being treated by a palace physician who used to treat his injuries.

"Okay, my noble wound is covered. Please do not get exposed to water for a few days." Speak to the palace physician to Prince Rong.

"Yes." Yeah."

The physician bowed his body and went out of Prince Rong's room.

"Your Majesty, I want to say something to your majesty." Xiao Bo said.

"Say."

"But this is about what the noble has said to the first young lady Liu, while in the forest."

"I've decided, I'm only interested in that woman. And I won't pull what I've said."

"But your honor, right now everyone is saying that the first young lady is a useless woman because she doesn't have any talent."

"Today we saw for ourselves how he faced the tiger in the forest, he also treated my wounds very well. Are you sure what those people say is true?"

Xiao Bi fell silent, what prince Rong said was right. Moreover he had also seen for himself a few days ago, how Lin Yao stopped the fleeing horse, and also faced the thief who had stolen his money.

"So soon he'll open a drugstore, once it's open. You go and spread the word about the drugstore. I'm sure that the medicine made by the first young lady will be good. After she got her good name from those people, isn't there any more reason for me not to marry her?" Prince Rong.

Xiao Bo was stunned by what prince Rong had said. All this time Xiao Bo had only seen Prince Rong unsheathe the sword, and made plans to conquer the enemies.

Yet now Xiao Bo looked with both of his own eyes. If prince Rong is making plans to get a woman who has caught his eye.

...----------------...

Ever since prince Rong spoke like that to Lin Yao, Lin Yao's mind was erratic.

At first he only wanted to focus on the drugstore that he would soon open, because all the medicinal ingredients he needed had been obtained. Also some of the drugs he had made by prescription and the appropriate dosage.

But who would have thought that prince Rong said the thing that made Lin Yao unable to sleep well.

"Actually what was that Prince Rong thinking about, how could he want to marry me? The woman he's met twice and she's helping." Lin Yao muttered inside his room.

"What were you saying earlier Lin'er?"

Lin Yao turned towards the door "Mother."

Lady Liu who had just arrived in front of the canal went inside and sat down beside her daughter.

"Tell me what made this mother's daughter speak for herself." Madame Liu.

"There's nothing mother."

"Lin'er, you're an adult. I will always support what you do."

Lin Yao was silent and looked at his mother.

"Mother, if there's a man we've never known before, we've even met a few times. But he said he wanted to marry us, what would you do?" Said Lin Yao.

Madam Liu was slightly surprised by Lin Yao's remark.

"Say, who's that guy?" Ask lady Liu.

"Who's Lin'er?"

"He's... Prince Rong."

Madam Liu was surprised and rounded her eyes.

"Ke... Why...."

"Mother, what's wrong? Why are you so surprised to hear the name of Prince Rong?"

Madam Liu was silent, she really did not expect that someone who used to be in a match with Lin Yao, said to Lin Yao herself if she wanted to marry her daughter.

"Mother, tell me what's going on?" Asked Lin Yao who was puzzled to see mistress Liu's reaction.

"Do you like Prince Rong? Have you answered Prince Rong?"

Lin Yao shook his head "I haven't answered him yet, yet as he said he wanted to marry Lin'er, he looked at Lin'er with a look that Lin'er had a hard time understanding. It was as if he didn't want to let go of Lin'er."

Madam Liu nodded, she quite knew how prince Rong was. Although Prince Rong was very rare to be in the capital.

"It seems like the sky does want them to be a match, even though the queen and I have agreed not to meet them and talk about them both, but they still met and prince Rong was also attracted by himself to Lin'er."

Before Ms. Liu brought concubine Qian to the prime minister's home first, Ms. Liu often visited the palace with the queen's permission.

As the daughter of one of the nobles in the country, of course mistress Liu greatly appreciated the invitation from the queen. And therefore Lady Liu often visited the queen inside the palace.

At that time, they promised each other that they would marry the daughter of mistress Liu (Lin Yao) to the 4th child of the queen (if male).

But when the queen's 4th son (prince Rong) was born and has grown up, he chose to advance to the front in various wars until his face was injured.

Knowing the scarred face of prince Rong, and his cold nature, the uneasy Queen said to Madame Liu, if the agreement regarding the matchmaking between Lin Yao and prince Rong was canceled. So that the relationship between the queen and mistress Liu slightly stretched.

Although Lady Liu said it did not matter with the state of prince Rong's face, but the queen who thought about the feelings of the Liu family and prince Rong, did not want to. Moreover, he did not want to see his son feel uncomfortable with the matchmaking.

"Mom, mother." Said Lin Yao while touching his mother's hand.

"Ah, yes Lin'er."

Lin Yao who saw mistress Liu pensively felt that there was something his mother was hiding from him.

"Mother, what did you daydream about?" Asked Lin Yao.

Madam Liu shook her head "There's nothing."

"What's.... Mother and prince Rong..."

"Lin'er, if you really like Prince Rong. Mother will not mind, maybe even the Xia big family will not bother about it. It's just, I don't know what your father would do if he knew Prince Rong liked you."

"Mom, I don't have to worry. Father and concubine Qian won't be able to do anything to us."

Madam Liu nodded "If the deal hadn't been canceled, you wouldn't have felt what you felt before." Mumbled madam Liu.

Lin Yao who did not understand what his mother said could only fall silent, and slightly frowned.

"What are you really saying and hiding from me?"
