After this incident broke out, King An suddenly had a lot of free time.
He spent the whole day either planting flowers and weeding with the princess, playing chess or painting, or supervising the roof repair project with his arms around the princess. He was really envious of others.
His princess is right, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Sister An has also had her own opinions since she was a child. As a father, what he can do for her is to stand behind her, be her backer, and support her decisions.
.
Anyway, the Ning family's betrothal gift has been returned first. If An Zhi is willing to marry, just let her ask for it again.
The other party still needs to have this bit of sincerity.
Therefore, he pretended to be unaware of An Zhi and Zelan's little actions. He turned sideways and continued to hold the princess in his arms while watching the workers reinforcing the roof.
"Phew, it's so dangerous. My dad happened to look over just now. I thought I was going to be caught by him."
After An Zhi slipped out of the back door, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Zelan smiled and helped her tidy up her hair: "Fourth uncle doesn't see you in his eyes now."
"Yes, he only has eyes for my mother now," An Zhi also smiled, "I have been thinking since I was a child that when I grow up, I will marry a man like my father."
Zelan nodded: "It's also good to be like Fourth Uncle."
Leng Mingyu on the side heard this and was a little puzzled: "But the prince is so cruel."
That day at the dinner table, King An looked like he wanted to dig a hole in Ning Hongzhao.
An Zhi's smile became even brighter: "My father has never been cruel to me or my mother."
"That's true."
Leng Mingyu was convinced.
"It's almost time, let's go quickly."
Zelan looked at the sky and reminded, "Third brother, remember, you will call us brother from now on."
In order to hide their identities, she and An Zhi are now dressing up in men's clothing, but they can't reveal their secrets to their younger brother.
"good."
Leng Mingyu nodded obediently.
Just looking at height alone, Anzhi is the tallest and Zelan is the shortest. Zelan is more like the third younger brother.
According to the gossip they received, Ning Hongzhao would go to the teahouse in Huxinting to drink tea in the afternoons these days.
The Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake is not very far from Prince An's residence, and the three of them arrived within a short walk.
However, they did not go directly to the Huxinting Teahouse. Instead, they went to the teahouse across the lake and went up to the private room on the second floor. The window faced the center of the lake.
"Over there."
Zelan pointed at Young Master Pianpian opposite.
He also opened a private room on the second floor, with the windows wide open, and you could clearly see that he was the only one inside, drinking tea and listening to storytellers in the teahouse.
An Zhi followed her guidance, only glanced at it, and then quickly turned back.
Although she had long heard that Mr. Ning was very handsome, she didn't expect that he was completely different from her father's dark appearance that he had experienced in the military since childhood. He had red lips and white teeth. He was extremely good-looking, although he could only see it.
A profile.
"Sister, you are blushing."
Zeelan held his head with both hands and looked at her with a smile.
"ah?
Have it?"
An Zhi quickly touched his face, and it took him a while to realize that Zelan was teasing her, "Okay, you little naughty kid, be careful I beat you."
Zelan stuck out his tongue and said, "It seems that Mr. Ning's appearance is passable."
An Zhi said goodbye: "Appearance is secondary, character is important."
"Sister is right, let's try him first."
Zelan nodded and reached out to call Leng Mingyu over, "Brother, go and look below..." "Okay."
After receiving the mission, Leng Mingyu went out holding his sword.
An Zhi stood by the window, holding onto the edge of the window with both hands, looking slightly nervously in the direction of Ning Hongzhao.
