Chapter 295 Niu Family Born for Dingbei
Emperor Chu watched as Prince Dingbei left the hall, and let out a sigh.
"That old fox has finally left."
Eunuch Zhou also sighed, "This servant has never seen anyone who can talk like Prince Dingbei."
"You don’t understand. Cunning and calculating, that old fox knows very well in his heart." Emperor Chu scoffed lightly.
Eunuch Zhou said, "No matter what, he is a hero in his twilight years. This servant noticed that Prince Dingbei looked much older since the last time."
Emperor Chu paused while fiddling with his prayer beads, "I heard that today, when the Commandery Princess went out of the city to welcome Prince Dingbei, that fourth son from the Song Family went too?"
Eunuch Zhou felt a shiver in his heart and replied, "Yes, Prime Minister Song’s youngest brother is fond of pleasures. It’s said that after leaving the city and returning, he headed straight to the cockfighting arenas and pleasure boats, only returning to the mansion by nightfall."
Before Emperor Chu could speak, he quickly added, "This servant also heard that today the elder Madam Song invited the Shen Family to the Prime Minister’s Mansion, and there is a niece of Madam Shen that the elder Madam took a liking to. She intended to propose her for Song Si, sent someone to meet her, yet she was evaded. By now, the elder Madam Song must be quite infuriated."
"The Shen Family?" Emperor Chu showed interest.
"Yes, it’s the wife of Vice Minister of Rites Shen Qing. Her niece is apparently the daughter of the Deputy Magistrate of Guangling."
