Chapter 589 – Every Man’s Choice
Jian Guozhi and Rong Zemin returned from the Capital Bureau's office in the evening. "Brother, I will be with the Fourth Brother for the evening tea. Would you like to join us?" Jian Guozhi asked him.
"I would love to, but I have tonight's plan with my wife. Maybe tomorrow I will join," Rong Zemin politely refused.
"It's fine. It is good to give the time to your wife," Jian Guozhi replied and patted his shoulder. He walked ahead while Rong Zemin went to his chamber. After freshening up and changing into the other dress, he left for Liao Jin's chamber.
He walked in and saw Liao Jun was standing at the center of her bed-chamber. "I was waiting for you," asserted Liao Jun and went towards the table. She told the maidservant to leave, who had prepared the tea.
"Prince Zemin, please sit down. I will serve you the tea," Liao Jun said with a smile.
Rong Zemin hummed and pulled out a chair for him. He sat on it and watched Liao Jun preparing the tea.
She put the teacup in front of him. "This is green leaf tea. It will rejuvenate you," Liao Jun told him and sat on the other chair.
Rong Zemin picked the teacup and sipped the tea while Liao Jun poured the tea for herself.
"Today we went to meet the Crown Princess. She is concerned about Princess Bai and is not understanding that she has stepped out of her boundaries," Liao Jun said and gently put the teapot on the table.
Rong Zemin put the teacup down and clasped his fingers together. "Liao Jun, the Crown Princess has rational thinking. She does not like what men think about women which not only the father and the Crown Prince appreciate but every prince appreciates. Also, I do believe that Princess Bai must be given the freedom to live her life rather than forcing her to do things," he voiced his opinion.
"Does Prince Zemin also think that the Crown Princess is kind of a dream woman for every man?" Liao Jun wanted to know her husband's opinion on it.
"She can be considered an ideal woman. However, my opinion on Sister Lili shall not bother you. I like her judgmental skills and the way she always supported Brother Sheng," Rong Zemin stated. He again picked the teacup and sipped the tea while Liao Jun had her fingers wrapped around the cup.
"The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are the ideal couples. Prince Zemin, I heard that the Crown Prince was not like this earlier. Is it true? I never asked the Prince about it but now I am curious," Liao Jun asserted.
"Except the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince, none of us ever tried to understand Brother Sheng. He did not have a not-so-good life… one reason was that his mother died when he was quite young and the second reason was the wives of the Emperor except his concubine and third consort. We always took him as a threat but it was never true. Brother Sheng needed the love and care which he never got. The Crown Princess has similar thoughts as Brother Sheng but sometimes Brother Sheng buries his kind side which Sister Lili tries to take out. They both balance each other– a perfect example of Yin & Yang.
Sister Lili gave him the warmth and love that he never experienced," Rong Zemin explained to Liao Jun and picked the teapot.
"Your tea is cold. Drink it and I will pour more," Rong Zemin said. Liao Jun hummed and drank the tea from her cup. Rong Zemin poured the tea into it and then to his cup.
"The Crown Princess is brave, that's why she is with the Crown Prince. Brother Sheng did not get attracted to women because everyone feared him except Sister Lili," Rong Zemin said with a smile.
"Let's keep the conversation of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess aside. We need to focus on us," Rong Zemin said and passed her a tiny smile.
They both enjoyed their tea session. The maidservant cleaned the table for them and left the chamber.
Rong Zemin stood up from the chair and went behind Liao Jun. He put his hands on her shoulders and leaned down. "Liao Jun, there is something I want to give you. I hope you will like it," he whispered in her ear.
"What?" Liao Jun was surprised to hear that.
A maidservant came inside with a tray covered with red cloth. Rong Zemin picked the headdress– a gold, single prong hairpin with golden danglings attached to it.
"Here, this for you. I ordered it a week ago with the Royal jeweler. Hopefully, you will like it," Rong Zemin said. The maidservant stepped back and left.
"It's so beautiful," Liao Jun's eyes glistened seeing the headdress. She stood up and went towards the dressing table. Rong Zemin followed her and helped her in wearing the headdress.
The danglings hung till the temples of her forehead, magnifying her beauty. "I look pretty. I loved it," Liao Jun said. "Thank you, Prince Zemin, for this precious gift." She bowed before him.
Rong Zemin put his hands on her shoulders and told her to look into his eyes. "I am glad the Princess liked it. It indeed suits you," He complimented her and kissed her on the middle of her forehead.
Liao Jun smiled and thought to take the headdress of her hair when Rong Zemin caught her hand. "Let it be on your hair," he requested, and the next second he captured her lips. Liao Jun's hands moved up and crossed behind his neck as she reciprocated his kiss.
After a few seconds, he withdrew back and looked into her eyes. "In my eyes, Liao Jun is the perfect woman. So, do not ever think that if I praise Sister Lili that means I consider her perfect. Every man's choice is different," He stated and caressed her head.
Liao Jun nodded her head and hugged him tightly, who had also encircled his arms around her.
