“Your Majesty has already made arrangements?”
Empress Zhao was genuinely surprised, her expression one of astonishment. Consort Zhen was equally taken aback, as she had never heard Xiao Wenxuan mention this before.
Xiao Wenxuan nodded. “The marriages of the princes of the Great Yu Empire are no trivial matter. They must be considered with the stability of the empire in mind.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Empress Zhao bowed, her expression tinged with disappointment. Her plan to further win over Xiao Ming had failed.
Seemingly unwilling to dwell on the matter, Xiao Wenxuan turned to Consort Zhen with a smile. “Consort Zhen, I hear that Xiao Ming has created something called ‘glass’ in Qingzhou. Princess Pingyang was so intrigued that she went there to see it. I, too, am curious. What exactly is this glass?”
“Your Majesty has been busy with state affairs these days, and I dared not disturb you. The treasures Prince Qi sent have been kept with me,” Consort Zhen replied, her face showing a hint of guilt.
Xiao Wenxuan chuckled. “Perfect. Since I have some free time today, let’s go and see what this glass is.”
Then he turned to Empress Zhao. “Empress, please continue your stroll. Don’t let my presence spoil your enjoyment.”
“Yes, Your Majesty,” Empress Zhao replied, understanding that Xiao Wenxuan wanted to be alone with Consort Zhen.
As they walked to the Bishui Pavilion together, Xiao Wenxuan’s expression darkened, and he said sternly, “Consort Zhen, do you know your crime?”
