The Princess Of 100 Talents
Chapter #33

Inside a room that was inside Lin Yao's medicinal shop, prince Rong and Lin Yao sat together.

Lin Yao looked at the prince Rong sitting in front of him in surprise, as suddenly prince Rong was at his medicinal leotard.

"My empress, do I look handsome, until you keep staring at me like that." Prince Rong said to Lin Yao.

Lin Yao closed his eyes for a moment then nodded.

"Your highness prince Rong, tell me. What exactly is your purpose in saying that I am a noble empress candidate?"

Prince Rong took the tea glass in front of him "Didn't I say it, you like you."

Lin Yao frowned "How could a man in this year be so straightforward like that? Moreover he was a prince, had the ethics of 100 years ago been lost?"

The prince placed the tea glass after drinking it.

"The father of the emperor and the queen mother have heard, if you and mistress Liu have stayed outside the Liu residence for a few days, and it was likely that the queen mother was already in the pavilion and was talking to mistress Liu." Prince Rong said calmly.

"What, your honor.... Your highness the queen came to the pavilion?"

Prince Rong nodded "Right, and I'm here to pick you up. But I didn't expect to see a group of people wanting to hurt my future empress."

"Your Majesty, please do not...."

Prince Rong grabbed Lin Yao's hand and looked at him seriously.

"I really want to marry you, and I'll never let anyone hurt you. Even though it was prime minister Liu and his concubine, or someone else."

Lin Yao was speechless, both in his past life and in his current life. He had never gotten such sweet words, like what prince Rong had told him at this moment.

"Yes.... Your Majesty, please do not joke with me. You know the people in the capital know me with useless women, and just put the Liu family to shame. How could you...."

"I never joke, I'm one of the princes in this country. And all my words never lie. Liu Lin Yao, do I have to kneel down and swear in front of the altar first, so that you can believe my words?"

Lin Yao was surprised by what prince Rong told him, he was a prince as well as a war god who was feared by his people and enemies. But at this moment he said, if he was willing to kneel down and swear before the altar of the foremen to prove what prince Rong said was true.

"Your majesty, how can you say that? I'm..."

"Was.... Because of my face, you don't want to marry me?" Prince Rong's speech cut off Lin Yao's speech.

Lin Yao rounded his eyes and shook his head a few times.

"No majesty, how could you think that way. I never look at people in the way you think, because I'm not a perfect person either."

"Then?"

Ling Yao herself did not know what to answer, she was a woman who reincarnated from her life 100 years ago, and she also did not know how prince Rong was.

But right now, everyone must have spread what prince Rong had said at the moment in front of his medicinal shop. And that made Lin Yao unable to do anything.

"Your majesty, is it not a shame that all the people will say that your Majesty has a useless and untalented wife?" Said Lin Yao slowly.

"No, I know very well how my future wife is. And I don't care what they'll say, because once they see with their own two eyes, how cleverly my empress treats others, how she rides and controls the detached horse, she said, also how he faced the fierce tiger. They will definitely no longer look at my empress as a useless woman."

Lin Yao was stunned to hear everything that Prince Rong said, he could not believe that everything he had done was seen and remembered well by Prince Rong.

"Your Majesty, I don't really know what to say. Not long ago the people in the capital had talked about my family, and also about my marriage being canceled by the Xu family, because they preferred the daughter of my father's concubine. I don't want your good name to be bad, for marrying a woman left behind by someone else."

Prince Rong who had found out about the news nodded.

"That won't be a problem, they won't dare talk about me wanting to marry you. Because I chose you myself."

Lin Yao looked at Prince Rong "He is a good man, although his face is injured and must wear a mask, but he still looks handsome and charismatic."

"Liu Lin Yao, what's your decision?" Prince Rong asked making Lin Yao's daydream stop.

"I...."

Prince Rong looked at Lin Yao fixedly, as if he was hoping that the answer Lin Yao gave was the answer he expected.

Lin Yao closed his eyes for a moment then nodded "Well, I will marry your highness."

Prince Rong's face looked extremely happy upon hearing the answer Lin Yao gave, although they did not yet know how they were with each other, but they were sure that as time went on, they would understand each other.

"The queen mother and father of the emperor will definitely feel very happy to hear this news." Prince Rong.

"But your Majesty, hearing this news my father will definitely force me and my mother back to the Liu residence. And I'm afraid my mother will be back in the piercing by concubine Qian and her daughter."

"You don't worry, the father of the emperor must have punished the prime minister Liu for expelling Lady Liu and you from your own home."

"Your highness..."

"That's true, it's just that all this time my father never realized it. And made her concubine a mistress at Liu's residence."

Prince Rong clasped Lin Yao's hand "Don't worry, I'll help you take back what belongs to you."

Lin Yao looked at prince Rong then nodded.

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

In the pavilion hall, the queen and lady Liu were sitting together. Two women who used to talk a lot tell a lot of things together, now it looks like two strangers who have just met for the first time.

"I haven't seen the queen in a long time, how are you?" Madam Liu broke the silence.

"I'm very kind, me and the emperor's majesty have heard the news about you and your daughter from prince Rong and also my palace servant."

Madam Liu nodded "One's life no one knows, your majesty."

"You're right."

The two women fell silent again, they did not know what to say anymore.

"Li Wei, I want to apologize to you. For my attitude that makes you and your daughter...."

"Your Majesty, what my daughter and I experienced had nothing to do with the noble decision at that time. I understand very well the feeling of the noble queen, who did not want to make Prince Rong hit. So please, don't blame your majesty again."

The queen did not know what to do, her former decision to cancel the match between prince Rong and Lin Yao had kept them away. And that was the biggest mistake the queen had done to mistress Liu and Lin Yao, therefore the queen had always felt earthy towards them.

"Lin'er has told me, if prince Rong says he wants to marry her. Did your highness come to this pavilion, wanting to talk about it with me?" Madame Liu.

The queen nodded "Right, I didn't believe it at first when Prince Rong said that he wanted to marry your daughter. But he said, if he had started to prepare everything. That's why I came here. You know prime minister Liu will be here too, but like I said. If the emperor's majesty had known that you lived outside Liu's residence. And for one of the higher-ups in the kingdom, it must be a big mistake."

"Your majesty."

"Li Wei, I won't stand in the way of the two of them anymore, because that is the wish of prince Rong himself, who has taken a liking to your daughter. And I beg of you, not to hinder them."

Madam Liu was speechless, she knew all along she had never felt like she had made Lin Yao happy, yet letting Lin Yao live inside the palace, mistress Liu felt unbearable.

"Your highness, I will not stand in the way of prince Rong, if he really wants to marry my daughter. But.... I have a condition." Madame Liu.

"Terms, what is it?"

"I don't want Lin Yao to stay inside the palace. Because I quite know how life is inside the palace, and I don't want Lin Yao to feel pressured there."

The queen silently heard the terms that madam Liu had told her.

"Sure it doesn't matter, I don't want my empress to feel uncomfortable during my life together with me." Said prince Rong who was standing in front of the door of the pavilion hall along with Lin Yao.

"Your Majesty, Lin'er." Madame Liu.

Prince Rong and Lin Yao walked into the hall.

"Greetings to the prince." Madam Liu said respectfully.

"Mrs Liu, you don't have to pay your respects to me. You are the mother of my future empress, and will of course be my mother-in-law. So I beg you not to do it again."

Lady Liu and the queen did not understand what Prince Rong was saying at this time.

Prince Rong smiled, he then clasped Lin Yao's hand and looked at the queen and mistress Liu alternately.

"The queen's mother, Ms. Liu. Me and Lin'er are gonna do the wedding." Prince Rong said with confidence.

Lady Liu and the queen were very surprised to hear the news straight from the mouth of prince Rong.

"Yes.... Your Honor, is what His majesty has said true? Lin Yao?" Madame Liu.

Lin Yao walked up to his mother then grabbed onto Madame Liu's hand.

"Mother, I accept prince Rong, and will be his bride." Said Lin Yao.

Lady Liu cried at her daughter's words, she did not expect that her daughter, who had been despised and useless, would be married by a prince she had once betrothed.

Lin Yao who saw her mother crying immediately wiped her tears then hugged mistress Liu.

"You.... You are no longer the woman who will be despised by those who have looked at you with one eye." Madam Liu said as she sobbed.

"Right mom, thank you for always supporting and looking after Lin'er."

The queen who saw mistress Liu and Lin Yao was happy and moved, she looked at prince Rong and nodded.
