Chapter 1415: Chapter 1415: The General’s Power and the Empress’s Authority (25)

Rong Shi was taken aback, ”Marriage?”

It seemed like Princess Yudie had reached the age for marriage.

”She wants to leave the palace,” Chuzheng replied.

She thought she could make her own decisions.

She just feared the Good Person Card would be unwilling and cause trouble with her.

So it was better to call her over to ask, and have a look at her.

Perfect!

Rong Shi didn’t expect Chuzheng had called him for something serious.

”Did Princess Yudie say who she wants to marry?”

”No.”

Chuzheng propped her chin up, ”But I think she has someone she likes.”

At most, Princess Yudie could have met some Scions of Noble Families at palace banquets. If she were infatuated, it should be with one of them.

The only thing was, she didn’t know who it was.

”Will the Empress Dowager arrange a marriage for her?” Rong Shi asked with a bit of hesitation.

A princess’s marriage was no trifling matter.

Only the truly favored princesses had the chance to choose someone they liked.

Other princesses, more or less, would become sacrificial lambs.

”As long as you want, I can make it happen.”

The girl’s voice was soft and calm, like a clear spring flowing from the mountains, gently drenching the soul.

Rong Shi’s heart skipped a beat.

A flash of astonishment passed through his eyes.

She said such words...

”I will ask Princess Yudie,” Rong Shi didn’t dare look at Chuzheng, responding courteously, ”If the Empress Dowager has nothing else, I will take my leave.”

Chuzheng stood up to stop him.

”General Rong.”

Rong Shi’s body recoiled sharply.

As if Chuzheng was a plague.

”Empress Dowager, please have self-respect.”

”Will self-respect grant me you?”

”...”

Rong Shi’s mind buzzed.

It seemed he hadn’t heard clearly what Chuzheng said.

Rong Shi spoke very slowly, ”Empress Dowager... what are you saying?”

Chuzheng leaned closer, and Rong Shi forgot to dodge, facing Chuzheng’s face so close.

With skin as delicate as porcelain, her long and curled eyelashes framed a pair of cold eyes, reflecting his image.

In that moment, Rong Shi felt as if she saw only him in her eyes.

And through those eyes, he saw a more distant, blurred version of himself.

Unconsciously, Rong Shi stepped back.

Suddenly, he felt a tightness at his waist.

Chuzheng wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her head on his shoulder, her cool voice whispering in his ear, ”You are mine.”

”Empress Dowager, do you know what you’re saying?” Rong Shi was exceptionally calm at that moment.

”We already have a marriage contract.”

”Yes, but you have already entered the palace. Have you forgotten?” Rong Shi asked.

”So what? It wasn’t my choice,” Chuzheng tilted her head slightly, her lips brushing against Rong Shi’s neck, ”Do you mind?”

Rong Shi’s hand clenched tight, ”Do you think I shouldn’t mind?”

”Oh, then go ahead and mind,” Chuzheng patted his chest, unreasonably declaring, ”Anyway, you can only be mine.”

The Good Person Card is mine!

Mine!!

”...”

Rong Shi placed his hands on Chuzheng’s shoulders and pushed her away.

”Empress Dowager, please don’t speak such nonsense.”

Rong Shi even forgot his manners, leaving angrily.

”Are you alright, Empress Dowager?”

Just now, General Rong had seemed ready to kill someone, what had the Empress Dowager said to him?

”It’s nothing.” Not stealing a kiss from the Good Person Card, unhappy.

Su Xue cast a suspicious glance around the room but saw nothing amiss.

In the following days, neither Rong Shi nor Princess Yudie came.

But Rong Shi sent a letter.

The letter stated the person Princess Yudie wanted to marry.

The other party’s family wasn’t particularly good or bad.

Rong Shi had probably investigated and found them acceptable, so he sent the letter.

Chuzheng had the Young Emperor issue a decree.

The Young Emperor was rather curious, ”Mother, why not find a better match for the Imperial Sister?”

”Should I find an Empress with power and influence for you?”

”...No.”

The Young Emperor, frightened, hurriedly issued the decree.

Princess Yudie didn’t expect she could truly marry the one she wanted, and went to the Empress Dowager’s chambers to express gratitude that same day.

”The Empress Dowager is resting, come again later, Princess.”

”It’s alright, I’ll wait for Mother here.”

The palace maid tried to persuade a couple of times, but the Princess wouldn’t leave, and the maid was at a loss.

Meanwhile, the person in question... was about to jump off a wall.

She immediately spotted Rong Shi passing by below.

”General Rong,” Chuzheng called him.

Rong Shi looked up, seeing Chuzheng standing on the wall, his brow twitching, ”Empress Dowager, what are you doing?”

Chuzheng jumped down from the wall.

The wall was at least over three meters high, and Rong Shi instinctively reached out to catch Chuzheng.

After what happened last time, they hadn’t met since.

Seeing Chuzheng now, Rong Shi’s feelings were complicated.

He held Chuzheng, not letting go, and softly asked, ”Empress Dowager, do you know that’s dangerous?”

No less than the nation’s Empress Dowager.

Was scaling walls.

What if someone saw? What dignity would there be?

”What’s this height?” Chuzheng seemed indifferent, ”What are you doing?”

”...Patrolling.” He was currently responsible for the security of the entire palace.

”Oh.”

Chuzheng released Rong Shi, adjusted her clothes, and headed out of the palace.

Rong Shi frowned, confused by Chuzheng’s cold demeanor...

He followed Chuzheng, ”Empress Dowager, what are you planning to do?”

Rong Shi didn’t want to follow her.

But his body wasn’t listening to his brain.

Chuzheng, always sparing with words, ”Leaving the palace.”

Leaving the palace...

Recalling the last departure from the palace, Rong Shi’s brow twitched wildly.

”Why are you leaving the palace?” Alone?

”There’s something to do.” Besides squandering money, what else could I do! What else could I do!

Rong Shi frowned, ”You can’t go out alone; it’s dangerous outside.”

”I’m afraid...” Chuzheng’s eyes shifted slightly, ”Then accompany me.”

”...”

Rong Shi wanted to remind her, about her status, that they shouldn’t do this.

But facing Chuzheng’s eyes, he found it hard to refuse her.

Chuzheng’s trip out of the palace was to squander money.

Rong Shi followed, helping carry her purchases.

He had no idea where she got so much money; had the Emperor given her the keys to the national treasury?

Chuzheng bought enough, then found a place to eat.

Rong Shi maintained the decorum of a minister, standing aside in wait.

Chuzheng tapped the table, ”Sit.”

”I can stand.”

”Am I going to eat you?” Chuzheng pulled him over, threatening fiercely, ”That’s an order; try moving.”

”...”

Rong Shi pulled his hand free.

Chuzheng calmly withdrew her hand, folding her arms on the table.

”What would the guests like to eat?” The shop assistant was taken aback by their looks, never having seen such handsome people.

Chuzheng gestured for Rong Shi to order.

Rong Shi: ”...”

Rong Shi ordered some signature dishes.

”Please wait a moment, they’ll be ready soon.”

The shop assistant dashed off.

Chuzheng reached for the teapot on the table, and Rong Shi moved instantly, both reaching for it simultaneously.

Chuzheng pressed her hand on his fingers.

She tilted her head slightly to look at him.

Rong Shi flinched as if burned, withdrawing his fingers, slightly unsettled.

He had led troops into battle, facing an army of ten thousand men without feeling like this.

Chuzheng poured two cups of tea, placing one in front of him, ”General Rong, have some tea.”
