The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny Chapter 453 - Misunderstood

Chapter 453 - Misunderstood

That was indeed what he meant.

Xie Pinggang was such a mischievous person. He thought that he must be a person who was greedy for s.e.x and money, so he gave him the young ladies and asked around about the First Lady Xie. If she was not too shabby, he could ask his father to make the betrothal.

However, he did not expect that Xie Pinggang would actually send the young ladies to the Crown Prince.

That fool. He actually did not like such beauties and gave them to the Crown Prince. Did the Crown Prince want any women?! Did he care about the people he sent?!

"You... took a liking to the eldest daughter of the Xie family?" Prince Ning Bei could not believe it.

He had thought that his son would have high standards and would be eyeing the direct daughter of the Marquis family. He had never expected that he actually took a fancy of Xie Niushan's family.

It was not that Xie Niushan was bad, but this person was more uncouth. The aristocratic families in the capital looked down on him.

Prince Ning Bei thought for a while and said, "Recently, I've heard that the daughter of the Xie family is very smart, but I've also heard that she is not in good health. Although Xie Pinggang is rough, he loves his sister very much. If you really like this girl, then you can only marry her and take her as your wife."

"I understand," Zhao Xuzhi nodded immediately, "But I only saw her from afar and she knows nothing about me, so... I am going to the academy to become a tutor..."

"In the Royal Academy, men and women are not allowed to have secret relations.h.i.+ps, and secret marriage is prohibited. If you really want to go, you have to be well-behaved and not cross the line. Also..." Prince Ning Bei looked at his son, "Although the Emperor has praised you many times for your talent, you are still young. Even if you were to become a tutor, I'm afraid you would only be able to teach some calligraphy and painting. The rest… just forget about it."

He knew his son's abilities. When he was young, he was indeed intelligent and diligent.

However, compared to the Crown Prince who had been smart since young, he was really lacking by a lot.

When the Crown Prince was young, he almost had a photographic memory. Even so, he had never been arrogant and complacent. He had heard from the grand tutor at that time that the Crown Prince would get up every day when it was still dark. He would read, practice calligraphy and martial arts, never slacking off. His intelligence was rarely seen in the world.

His son was only slightly better than the average person.

At his age, if he was really a tutor who taught people to read, he would still be a little lacking.

Zhao Xuzhi did not like to hear that, as if he was really useless.

However, he had to nod to agree, "Father, don't worry. I know what I am good at."

"Even if you like that Young Lady Xie, you shouldn't use this method. If that Xie Pinggang really marries his sister to you because of those two young ladies, would you be happy?" Prince Ning Bei was still quite upset.

It was a good thing that his son had a young lady he wanted to marry. However, when he thought about what his son had done, he could not help but worry.

"I know my mistake," Zhao Xuzhi was still kneeling.

"Who hurt you?" Prince Ning Bei asked.

Zhao Xuzhi was silent for a moment, "It was the Crown Prince. I think the Crown Prince must have misunderstood. He thought that I bribed Xie Pinggang and wanted to learn about his whereabouts..."

"The Crown Prince is not as petty as you think. From my point of view, he knows that what you did was inappropriate, so he wanted to teach you a lesson. You must be careful in the future," Prince Ning Bei did not think that the Crown Prince did something wrong.

There were many events when young ladies were sent to officials, but the royal family really did not like this kind of behavior.

Women... were weak, but they could do too many things.

Moreover, Xuzhi had never done this kind of thing before. Him suddenly doing that made one think that he had gone astray. It was no wonder the Crown Prince taught him a lesson.
