Chapter 1528 - 1528 He Kept Himself Chaste
1528 He Kept Himself Chaste
Yaoyao jumped down from the side of the window when she heard him.
She was mad at Beitang You but the others were not responsible for her anger and she did not want to lash out at them.
“Thank you, Uncle Zhang.” She went toward him and thanked him politely as she took the tea from him and drank it.
Zhang Yu looked at her adoringly.
She was quite a good girl.
Her resemblance to Lu Liangwei made him feel closer to her.
At this thought, he simply said, “His Majesty ascended the throne when he was nine and he did not have an easy life during this time. He put his heart and soul into managing the imperial court and his imperial harem is still empty to this date.”
When Yaoyao heard this, she lifted her eyes to glance at him and asked with curiosity, “Really? Could he have some sort of hidden illness?”
“Cough cough!” Zhang Yu choked on his own saliva when he heard this and said seriously, “No, he doesn’t. Our master is a very healthy young man. He is only twenty-four this year.”
“If there’s nothing wrong with his health, could he have some sort of…” Yaoyao paused and asked in a low voice, “Could he have some sort of strange fetish? I saw him visiting the brothel last time.”
Zhang Yu was taken aback. He knew she was referring to yesterday at West Water Frontier. He explained, “Do you mean yesterday? I was by His Majesty’s side yesterday as well. We went into the brothel together. You might have misunderstood His Majesty, Princess. He has always kept himself chaste and he only entered the brothel because he heard a song that he recognized from his younger days. He could not resist going in to listen. He left after a while and did not do anything in the brothel.”
Yaoyao passed the cup back to him after she was finished with the tea. She did not understand why Uncle Zhang explained so much to her. She had nothing to do with Beitang You and those were just casual questions she was asking.
However, he had taken the time to explain this carefully to her and she could not pretend to ignore it. So, she replied, “I see. I guess I misunderstood him.”
Zhang Yu burst out laughing happily when he saw that they had cleared this misunderstanding. “His Highness is actually a good man. You weren’t able to get to know him better because you don’t spend enough time with him. There is a long line of ladies wanting to marry him that could stretch from the gates of the Palace to the city gates.”
Yaoyao smiled and did not say anything.
Zhang Yu did not stay long. He left after telling her to have an early night.
The next day.
Beitang You prepared a horse-drawn carriage for Yaoyao.
Yaoyao did not look too happy when she saw the carriage. “There’s no fun in taking the carriage. How about lending me your horse for a ride?”
“Why would you want to ride my horse?” Beitang You raised an eyebrow.
Beitang You immediately understood when he heard her words.
That girl was still holding a grudge from when she fell off the horse the last time.
He paused before saying, “You have a good eye. This horse is named Snow White. It’s been with me for many years.”
Yaoyao looked at his mount when she heard this and reached out to rub the horse’s mane. “I haven’t ridden such a fine horse before. How about lending it to me for a ride?” With that, she grabbed the reins and prepared to mount the horse.
However, Beitang You suddenly grabbed her wrists. “I wasn’t done explaining.”
“Hurry up and finish whatever you have to say.” One of Yaoyao’s feet was already on the stirrup.
A smile twinkled in Beitang You’s eyes when he saw her behaving this way. “Snow White needs its master.”
Yaoyao was taken aback but quickly understood what he meant.
“Are you telling me that Snow White only allows you to ride it and no one else?”
“Yes.” Beitang You paused before continuing, “If you’d like to ride Snow White, it would be best if I rode with you.”
