His Rui

Chapter 381 – Zhao Zhang Wei’s Apology

"Does Princess Consort Yi feel bothered to serve Benwang?"

Zhao Zhuang Chen asked Yi Huiqing with his continuous stare still fixed on Yi Huiqing.

The way his lustful gaze roamed on Yi Huiqing's fully covered body, anyone could understand what exactly he meant by those words. 

Yun Weilan who was still lying on the ground looked towards Yi Huiqing apologetically.

However, Yi Huiqing was too busy glaring at the disgusting man in front of her to notice her eyes on herself that was filled with apology.

Amidst all this, Zhao Zhang Wei was seething in anger.

His harsh breathing clearly presented how angry he was. However, his hand was still held firmly by Yi Huiqing.

'What did she want?'

Zhao Zhang Wei thought angrily inside his heart.

Does she want him to sit here care freely when that man was undressing her with his disgusting gaze?

If she didn't want him to fight that much then she should have listened to have and not come here?

With his cold phoenix eyes fixed on Zhao Zhuang Chen, Zhao Zhang Wei said in an equally cold voice.

"You are here for an apology, right?"

Zhao Zhuang Chen fortunately and finally moved his eyes to Zhao Zhang Wei's face. It was not hidden from him that Zhao Zhang Wei was really left angry by his behavior.

He was very satisfied.

Because that was what he wanted since the beginning.

However, now he wanted something else too. And that person was the woman sitting beside his dear second younger brother.

This woman could only belong to him. Seeing her fierce glare at himself, he thought that Zhao Zhang Wei had perhaps not shown her until now how a woman should behave around a woman. He really wanted to tame her and then show what a real man was like and what a real woman was like.

But for now, he could satisfy himself with Zhao Zhang Wei's apology.

Maybe Yi Huiqing will see just how weak her husband was after this incident and then seeing his power she would come to him by herself.   

The one-sided dreams made Zhao Zhuang Chen so excited and happy that he said immediately.

"Yes, Yes…your apology, Zhao Zhang Wei. Benwang is here for that."

"Good"           

Zhao Zhang Wei whispered and then said indifferently

"I apologize for dirtying my hands by touching you that day."

Yi Huiqing who was finally feeling relived on being freed from that lustful gaze was drinking water. However, hearing Zhao Zhang Wei's words, she spurted out the water in her mouth and laughed loudly completely forgetting that she was a princess consort currently in everyone's eyes and that was not how she should behave.

Zhao Zhang Wei phoenix eyes moved to stare at his wife. His cold gaze softened for a moment when he saw a full smile on her lips as the sound of her melodious laughter sounded through the large dining room.

He had never seen her laughing so openly when she knew that he was around her.

This was the first time. He could not help but find her very adoring and her smile very beautiful. Seeing the way her eyes brightened when she laughed, Zhao Zhang Wei thought that he would never get enough of the current sight in front of his eyes. 

It was now Zhao Zhuang Chen's turn to get angry.

The first prince gritted his teeth as he looked at the laughing Yi Huiqing with anger filled gaze.

Did she even know that she was just adding danger to herself by making fun of him like this?

The next moment, he heard a snicker from his behind and turned around to glare at Yun Weilan.

"So you still have the courage to laugh in front of me?"

He whispered with the warning clear in his voice.

Yun Weilan stopped laughing immediately. 

Qin Wenya who had been sitting silently until now looked at Zhao Zhang Wei coldly and spoke finally

"It seems that Second Prince has forgotten the respectful way the younger ones are supposed to apologize to their elder ones."           

Yi Huiqing finally realized what she was doing when she heard the Empress' cold voice. She immediately stopped laughing and cleared her throat awkwardly.

How could she forget that she was in the Imperial Palace as a wangfei of an Imperial Prince?

On the other hand, Zhao Zhang Wei was very annoyed when Yi Huiqing stopped laughing. With annoyance-filled eyes, he turned to look at the Empress and said indifferently.

"Her Majesty is right. This Imperial son had really forgotten it. Unfortunately, His Majesty sent the letter that mentioned the apology dinner only. It never mentioned the way this one was supposed to apologize."

Since she doesn't want to maintain even the fake decency, then he will also not bother to maintain the same. 

Qin Wenya inhaled sharply hearing the eloquent retort.

Was Zhao Zhang Wei not afraid of what she will do after leaving Xinhe Palace if he continued to behave like this?

Zhao Zhuang Chen was thinking the same.

However, he was too impatient compared to his mother.

If he could not intimidate Zhao Zhang Wei, then he will try it on Yi Huiqing but he will not leave before getting a decent apology from here.

Pointing his finger at Yi Huiqing, he said

"You…Since your husband doesn't know the way to apologize then you will do it."

Zhao Zhang Wei's lips were pressed in a thin line when he heard Zhao Zhuang Chen's words. However, he didn't say anything to him.

He instead turned to look at Yi Huiqing.

Her hand that was in his hold, he touched its back and then Yi Huiqing's forehead with the back of her hand and frowned deeply.

"Wangfei seems to have a fever. Wangfei should leave and have some rest."

Saying this, Zhao Zhang Wei then shouted for Yi Huiqing under her startled eyes.

"Daiyu."

Lin Daiyu who had been standing outside the dining room until now immediately came running inside.

"Take your mistress to her Courtyard and make sure that she rests properly."

Zhao Zhang Wei's actions were very sudden and anyone with his eyes working fine could tell that he was just trying to save Yi Huiqing.

Even Zhao Zhuang Chen could see that.

His loud chuckle was heard in the dining room a few moments later making everyone look at him once …including Yi Huiqing.

"Do you want to leave just like that, Princess Consort Yi?" 

The hidden meaning behind Zhao Zhuang Chen's words as well as the gaze as he stared at Yi Huiqing could not be understood by anyone except Yi Huiqing.

Not even Zhao Zhang Wei at this moment.

That's why, when Yi Huiqing stood up and walked towards Zhao Zhuang Chen instead of leaving with her maid Li Daiyu, Zhao Zhang Wei could only watch everything with a shocked face.
