Chapter 1361: Open Threats Are Easy to Dodge, Hidden Arrows Are Hard to Defend Against
Although Celestial Master Zhang is a favored figure by The Emperor and holds a high status in the Imperial court, he is also known as being henpecked, which isn’t really surprising to anyone. Even though people are wary of him due to his proximity to The Emperor, nobody dares to mock him upfront, yet gossip behind his back is inevitable.
As the two continued their discussion.
Situ Yongjie came out with the people from the mansion to greet them.
Situ Qinger was the most excited, sticking closely to Situ Yongjie, her beautiful eyes fixated on the Fourth Prince standing at the door. Her impatience looked as though she might rush up to him and indulge in a tender moment in his arms.
However, with so many eyes watching, she knew she had to maintain her decorous image.
Yet, the eagerness in her eyes could not be concealed.
It was obvious to anyone that Second Miss Situ harbored feelings for the Fourth Prince.
Well, well, well! Things are just too messy.
Everyone knows that the Fourth Prince is relentlessly pursuing Xuexue, even though she is already married, he still refuses to give up, showing up every few days to create a scene. Now, her younger sister is trying to get involved; this whole situation is honestly more dramatic than a stage play.
Situ Yongjie stepped forward, cupped his hands towards the Fourth Prince, and also saluted Celestial Master Zhang: "Fourth Prince, Celestial Master Zhang, your distinguished presence is an honor to us."
These two significant figures must not be offended.
One is the Fourth Prince of the current dynasty, whose mother is the present Empress, the other is a Celestial Master, a favored figure by The Emperor. A single word from them carries more weight than ten from others. Situ Yongjie didn’t want trouble, so naturally, he would not offend them.
Celestial Master Zhang cupped his hands in return, smiling widely, "General Situ, we have come uninvited, apologies for the disturbance."
