Zombie Princess - Chapter 51

 It wasn’t just Chen Wang who arrived, but also Wang Zhao. Yet, Chen Wang’s aura was too bright, and it immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

  Wang Zhao saw that the girls’ eyes filled with passion were focused on Chen Wang in front of him. He bit the corner of his lips and sneered.

  When Zhao Wang saw the Empress seated next to the Empress Dowager and the dog, an idea came to his mind.

  He called in the little eunuch and whispered in his ear. The eunuch quietly stepped up and came to the concubine and conveyed Wang Zhao’s words.

The concubine’s eyes brightened, and she glanced at Wang Zhao. The mother and child pair exchanged a look.

  The concubine picked a cherry with her chopsticks and removed the seed. Then she brought it to the Empress Dowager’s mouth, “Mu hou*, you taste this cherry. It is tender and sweet.

(Mu Hou: mother of emperor)

 Empress Dowager did not refuse and tasted the cherry from her hands.

  The concubine said, “Mu hou, the noble girls present here are all very good-looking, with good talents. I don’t know who will catch His Royal Highness’s eyes.”

 Empress Dowager looked at Chen Wang, who was stroking the white puppy lying on his lap.

  He looked indifferent.

  Wang Zhao said at the right time, “Seventh brother, there are so many beautiful girls here, why do you only pay attention to the little animal? Why? Is no girl here, eye-catching?”

 His voice was loud, for fear that the people in the hall could not clearly hear him.

  The hall fell into a weird silence for a while.

  As if he did not notice the embarrassing atmosphere in the hall, Wang Zhao did not give Chen Wang the opportunity to speak and continued, “If the seventh brother likes the dog so much, it is better to let it choose a princess for you. So as not to get married to someone who couldn’t get along with your pet dog. What do you say?”

  “This is ridiculous! Third prince, you … kekekeke!” Empress Dowager was so angry that she could not breathe properly.

  The concubine came forward to caress her back, but she waved her off and refused. The Empress poured a cup of warm tea and gave it to her Empress Dowager to drink.

  Everyone was embarrassed, and they shrank their necks and didn’t dare to speak.

  However, the king of the party did not raise his eyebrows. To everyone’s surprise, he actually said, “I think the third brother gave a good idea.”

  As soon as his word came out, the whole hall was shocked.

  Luo Fu couldn’t help but glance at him, and then a strange feeling was born in her heart.

  “Hahaha, I’m just kidding. Seventh Brother, why did you take it seriously?” Wang Zhao, who proposed the idea, laughed.

  Chen Wang said, “I mean, this method is very suitable for the third brother. Isn’t the third concubine still in third brother’s house? Just choose a few beautiful girls with both beauty and talents. What does Brother think? “

  Now, Wang Zhao couldn’t laugh.

 When he looked at Chen Wang’s indifferent eyes, he had the illusion that he was treading on thin ice. 

  He had the feeling that if he didn’t do what Chen Wang said, he would end up miserable.

  He reluctantly said, “Then I will borrow seven brother’s dog.”

  He couldn’t wait to bite his tongue after speaking.

  Choosing a concubine with the help of a dog. 

  If this spread, he would turn into a joke in the capital.

  He gritted his teeth and barely pushed his anger down.
