The Regent's Koi Princess

Sanligang Villa

Zhao Shizong sat alone in front of the carved window of Sanligang Villa, the sunlight shining through the gaps in the window onto his already gloomy face.

At this moment, his brows were furrowed, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and his brows were tightly furrowed. He was playing with a warm jade cup in his hand. The tea in the cup had already gone cold, but he was completely unaware of it.

Outside the window, the breeze blows through the bamboo forest, rustling, as if it is the whisper of nature, but it also seems to foreshadow something ominous.

He sighed softly, his eyes passed through the layers of bamboo leaves and fell on the hazy shadows of the mountains in the distance. The inexplicable uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Yue Niang, who was standing beside him, was as gentle as water. She was about to say some tender words, but seeing that he looked solemn, she hesitated to speak. She could only stay by his side silently, trying to dispel the haze in his heart.

But Zhao Shizong's mind had already drifted into the unknown storms. The uneasiness wrapped him tightly, making it difficult for him to break free.

After spending these few days together, Yue Niang has already figured out his character.

Zhao Shizong was different from Zhao Zhoucheng.

Although he is arrogant, he is more loyal than his father.

At the beginning, she did approach him with a purpose, but as the two of them spent these days together, Yue Niang's feelings towards him became complicated.

Hate him?

She felt a little guilty about asking Zhao Zhoucheng to pay off his debt.

However, she felt so angry when she thought of what Zhao Zhoucheng had done to her.

But as for Zhao Shizong, she didn't know how to face him.

As if he had a premonition of something, Zhao Shizong turned his head and looked at Yue Niang who was worried, and his heart was beating fast.

Closing his eyes and taking a long sigh, Zhao Shizong looked at Yue Niang and waved.

"Ning'er, come and sit with this general for a while."

Yue Niang walked forward, hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Why is the general unhappy today? Are you worried about something? Would you like to talk to Ning'er?"

Zhao Shizong did not answer her question in time. He reached out, grabbed Yue Niang's wrist, and pulled her into his arms with force.

Due to inertia, Yue Niang staggered and fell onto Zhao Shizong's lap.

She raised her arms and hugged Zhao Shizong's neck, buried her head in the man's neck and leaned quietly on his shoulder.

"General, smile. If you're unhappy, Ning'er will be unhappy too. Can you bear to see Ning'er being sad with you?"

Looking down at the gentle little beauty in his arms, the haze in Zhao Shizong's heart was instantly blown away by the wind.

He pulled Yue Niang into his arms and rested his chin on top of her head.

"Ning'er, this general wants to get married and have a family. I wonder if Ning'er is willing to marry me?"

After that, he raised his hand to lift up Yue Niang's chin, kissed her red lips and continued: "No matter what you ask for, even if it's the honor of being the mother of the country, as long as Ning'er asks, this general will find a way to satisfy you."

Upon hearing this, Yue Niang curled up her lips into a cold smile, which looked particularly dazzling in the mottled sunlight, like an ice flower suddenly blooming in winter, beautiful but with a biting chill.

In fact, she is a contradiction. She desires supreme power, but is also worried that Zhao Shizong will lose interest in her once he has power.

man!

Once you sit in a high position, who doesn’t like to be surrounded by beautiful wives and concubines?

How many people can really be together for a lifetime?

Women are nothing more than toys to them. Once the novelty wears off, who would remember the original promise?

What's more, it was the entanglement between her and Zhao Zhoucheng. If Zhao Shizong knew about it, how could he tolerate a woman he had touched to sleep with him again?

Ah!

I'm afraid not killing her at that time would be the greatest kindness to her.

Therefore, if she wanted Zhao Shizong as her backer, she couldn't let him have the opportunity to **.

She gently broke free from Zhao Shizong's embrace, stood up, and looked into his deep eyes with a sharp gaze. Her voice was soft but powerful enough to be ignored: "Mother of the country? Oh, the general has great ambitions, but can this world be easily controlled by passion alone?

Ning'er is just a weak woman who only wishes to stay by the emperor's side and enjoy the peaceful years. She does not want to get involved in the court disputes, and has no intention of being a mother of the country.

If the general really has this ambition, please think twice before acting, and don't let power blind you and make you forget your original intention."

After saying this, she turned around and was about to leave, her skirt fluttering, leaving behind a room filled with a cold fragrance and Zhao Shizong's stunned figure.

Looking at her leaving back, Zhao Shizong fell silent.

What does Ning'er mean?

Doesn't she want to be the queen herself while she can rule the country?

Or was she worried that if she really succeeded in seizing power, she would collect beauties from all over the world to fill her harem like other emperors?

Zhao Shizong's gaze slowly moved as Yue Niang (Ning'er) walked away, and a gentle and deep smile gradually appeared at the corners of his mouth.

He stood up and followed at a steady pace. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the bamboo leaves, shining on his tall figure, adding a touch of warmth to the quiet courtyard.

He gently walked around a few green bamboos and finally caught up with Yue Niang in front of a bush of blooming peonies. She was lowering her head and gently stroking the petals, as if she was telling the flowers about her feelings. Her back looked both aloof and weak, which made people feel pity for her.

Zhao Shizong approached quietly, gently put his arms around her waist from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and whispered, "Ning'er, are you jealous?

Ning'er is worried that there will be another woman around this general?

and so……

Do you think that Ning'er has fallen in love with me? Hmm!"

There was a hint of teasing in his voice, but also a subtle seriousness hidden in it.

Yue Niang looked up at Zhao Shizong, her pretty face full of worry.

She was born beautiful, and her every frown and smile touched Zhao Shizong's nerves.

From just wanting to have fun in the beginning to being deeply involved in the relationship now, Zhao Shizong's heart is devoted to Yue Niang.

Yue Niang knew that there was no chance for her to be with the regent. Now she wanted to live well, and she couldn't lose Zhao Shizong as her backer.

Although he is ugly, he holds military power. Even if she stays in Western Liao for the rest of her life, as long as she has his heart, she can live a worry-free life.

Therefore, before she became pregnant, she could not let Zhao Shizong and his son meet, and she could not let Zhao Zhoucheng know where she was.

She threw away the flowers in her hand, threw herself into Zhao Shizong's arms, stretched out her hands to hug the man's thin waist, and said in a tender voice: "General, can you lead the troops back to the capital later? Ning'er wants the general to spend more time with Ning'er. Ning'er is worried that there will be other women around the general.

Ning'er only wants to be with the general for the rest of her life, and she doesn't want to be jealous of other women all day long."

After hearing what Yue Niang said, Zhao Shizong smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed. He lowered his head, kissed Yue Niang lightly, and replied: "Okay, this general agrees..."

However, before he could finish his words, the wooden door of the villa was kicked open from the outside with a bang.

Then, before I saw the person, I heard his voice first. A playful voice came: "Hi! General Zhao."
