Chapter 309: My Lord, Get As Far Away As You Can (33)
Taiwei Mansion
In the study, General Zhang listened to the secret guard's report expressionlessly. After a long while, he slowly spoke, "Is that all?"
Secret guard: "Yes."
Zhang Taiwei closed the small piece of paper in his hand and burned it on the fire beside him. The weak flames reflected his square face with sharp edges and a solemn look.
"Pass the order down. The previous snacks have been eaten. Have them send in a new batch of snacks."
The secret guard nodded without hesitation: "Yes."
Zhang Taiwei: "Go down and keep watching."
The secret guard nodded, then turned and left the room.
General Zhang stood up and straightened his black robe, then walked to the bookshelf, opened a mechanism, and entered a hidden secret room. The study became quiet again.
About an incense stick of time later, the secret room in the study opened.
He still had a solemn expression on his face as he slowly walked out from inside. The waist of his robe was soaked with something unknown.
Zhang Taiwei changed into a dark red robe as if nothing had happened, and ordered the servants at the door, "Clean up the study and burn these clothes."
Slave: "Yes."
Zhang Taiwei: "How is the princess's preparation going?"
Servant: "My Lord, someone just came to tell me that the princess wants you to go back to your room to rest after you finish your work, and then go to the living room together when the time comes."
General Zhang said "hmm" and then turned and walked towards the backyard.
As soon as you step into the door, you are greeted by the familiar scent of rosewood, and a large bed is placed on one side of the room.
On the rosewood, pure gold carvings are inlaid in a hollow and entwined manner, and the light purple fine gauze bed curtains slightly obscure it.
Commandant Zhang saw Di Ning sitting on the other side, and a maid was painting her nails with bright red nail polish.
Emperor Ning's eyes swept across General Zhang without saying a word.
After the maids helped her with her makeup and hair, and she had sent the servants away, she slowly spoke.
"Are you ready?"
General Zhang walked over to her, gently helped her to stand up, and then sat down together at the table next to her.
She was wearing a floor-length crimson dress, the same color as his. Gold and silver threads were woven into a lifelike phoenix pattern, and the phoenix's tail swayed gently at the hem of her dress.
Di Ning looked at her husband and said "hmm", her eyes full of satisfaction. It was indeed a wise decision to marry him in the first place.
Although he was not as handsome as the prime minister, his way of doing things and his arrangements won her heart.
"The Prince Consort has always satisfied me, so today I want to give him a gift."
As she spoke, she picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea. "Tsui Er sent a message today saying that your snacks lack some seasoning. I have already told her to put it aside first. You can mix the flavor you like yourself when the time comes."
She gently placed the teacup in front of him, making a "ding" sound, and then said, "Your Highness can enjoy your unique delicacy to your heart's content then."
General Zhang's solemn square face curled up into a smile of pleasure, which inexplicably revealed a hint of weirdness.
"Thank you so much, Princess. You are so gentle and thoughtful."
"I also want to thank Prince Consort for his cooperation over the years. We are now able to have a son."
No matter what, her husband now is him. No matter whether she is a princess or he is a general, she cannot be without an heir.
He always put her first. He had never touched his concubines or taken a sidekick for so many years. He was devoted to her wholeheartedly.
