Chapter 822: Chapter 822: Favoritism

Another serving? It’s easier said than done!

Does it still hold the same meaning?

Mother Consort is always like this, her heart and eyes are full of the Sixth Brother, thinking of him in everything.

But... I’m also her son!

The Fifth Master was extremely sullen.

The Imperial Noble Consort also noticed that something was amiss.

And felt increasingly apologetic.

Once the new dishes were served, she kept piling them up beside the Fifth Master.

However...

The more she did this, the more it seemed deliberate.

Seeing this made the Fifth Master feel even worse.

The Sixth Master didn’t notice any of this at all.

He was eating heartily while talking to the Imperial Noble Consort.

As they talked, he mentioned the girl he saw at night.

Though she looked young, just her silhouette was remarkably elegant.

It’s just that he didn’t know how she looked, which made him quite curious.

It’s perfectly normal for someone at the age of awakening affections to think about girls, isn’t it?

”Mother Consort, did a girl come to Fengyu Pavilion? Who is she?”

Empress Dowager Zhen didn’t mind much and casually mentioned.

”She’s Noble Consort Xian’s half-sister, here to stay in the palace for a few days!”

”Come, enough about this and that, eat more!”

Empress Dowager Zhen urged.

”Oh...”

The Sixth Master nodded, picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and stopped talking.

The Fifth Master’s eyes flickered but... he too said nothing.

After finishing dinner.

The two sons were about to leave when Empress Dowager Zhen called them back.

”Zhezher!”

The Fifth Master turned around.

”Mother Consort, is there anything else?”

Empress Dowager Zhen brought out the draft of Fine Ladies she obtained from the Empress Dowager today.

”You’re not that young anymore, already seventeen, it’s time to talk about marriage!”

”These are this year’s Fine Ladies, all for you to choose a consort from!”

”Take a look too, if there’s someone you like, let’s decide quickly!”

Empress Dowager Zhen spoke while opening the list of the Fine Ladies.

The Fifth Master bowed his head, feeling a bit sarcastic inside.

’Mother Consort finally thought of me, did she?’

’Not bad, remembering my age, I thought Mother Consort had long forgotten about this son of hers!’

He recalled that when the Eldest and Second Brothers were still in the palace.

Once they were past fifteen, their Mother Consorts would arrange for one or two Palace Maids in Charge of Accounts by their sides.

This is a rule, intended just to serve the gentlemen.

But he’s already seventeen this year, and still, there’s no one to serve by his side.

It’s as if Mother Consort never thought of this matter.

Her heart is solely with the Sixth Brother.

Sometimes thinking about it, it’s really disheartening!

The Fifth Master curled his lips.

”Matters of marriage are originally up to parental orders and the words of a matchmaker. The selection of a consort is something I don’t understand, leave it up to Mother Consort!”

”If there’s nothing else, then I shall take my leave.”

Having said that, he bowed and left.

He was curious to see what kind of person Mother Consort would choose for him.

The Sixth Master saw him leave and couldn’t stay either.

Thus, he followed behind him and also left.

Empress Dowager Zhen was a bit helpless.

”This...”

Sister Tao smiled and said.

”Your Highness need not worry, the Fifth Highness is trusting you!”

”You just need to select a good one, and I guarantee the Fifth Master will like her in the future!”

Empress Dowager Zhen frowned.

”Like? How would I know what he likes?!”

Sister Tao’s face was slightly awkward, thinking to herself:

You never took the time to find out!

Previously, she had suggested sending a few of the Palace Maids in Charge of Accounts over.

But at that time, the Imperial Noble Consort agreed verbally, then immediately forgot.

She couldn’t say much more.

Empress Dowager Zhen, a bit annoyed, flipped through the draft.

”Forget it, forget it, even if he doesn’t care, this Imperial Noble Consort can’t ignore it!”

No matter what, she would still be her daughter-in-law, wouldn’t she?!

...

Meanwhile, as the Fifth Master came out, seeing the Sixth Master following behind, he felt a bit irritated.

”Why did you come out too? Why not stay and accompany Mother Consort more?”

The Sixth Master frowned and complained.

”Fifth Brother, Mother Consort is so nagging, I don’t want to stay there!”

”I’d rather come out with Fifth Brother!”

”By the way, Fifth Brother!”

”I heard Mother Consort saying she wants to choose a consort for you, what kind of girl does Fifth Brother like?” He asked with a mischievous smile.

The Fifth Master looked a bit awkward.

”What kind do I like? Such affairs aren’t something we can decide!”

The Sixth Master was dissatisfied upon hearing this and was about to protest.

But the Fifth Master interrupted him mercilessly.

”Enough, it’s getting late, and we need to rise early tomorrow, get some rest!”

Having said that, he turned and left without looking at the Sixth Master.

”Hey?! Fifth Brother!”

”Fifth Brother!”

The Sixth Master called out a few times, but the Fifth Master remained unmoved.

”Forget it, forget it, boring, stingy!”

He muttered a few complaints and then also turned to walk back to his place.

...

At Fengyu Pavilion.

Xia Caiying returned from Duanning Palace when the sky was already fully dark.

Xiao Xizi had already left.

Only Xiao Zhu Zi and Zi Su were left on night duty.

Xia Caiying washed up and lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

On one hand, she had just drunk some grape wine brewed by her sister, which made her particularly alert.

On the other, she was excited about going home tomorrow.

Glancing at the moonlight outside the window.

The moon was bright, the stars sparse, with a clear glow all around, making her happy again at the thought of another sunny day tomorrow.

Since she couldn’t sleep, she might as well go out, sit for a bit, appreciate the moon, and sober up.

So she put on a coat and tiptoed out into the courtyard.

In the back courtyard, there was a pond, above which was a pavilion.

On this early summer night, a gentle breeze blew, causing ripples in the pond.

Though the lotus flowers were just budding, their fragrance was already detectable in the wind.

Xia Caiying sat in the pavilion, wrapped in her coat.

While sobering up, she appreciated the moon, feeling quite at ease.

Suddenly, a voice came from not far away.

”Young lady, such refined interest!”

Xia Caiying was startled by the words.

Turning her head, she saw a man and became even more frightened.

”Who are you?”

She was panic-stricken, her stunning face full of fear.

”Miss, you needn’t be afraid, I am Zhao Junzhe, the Fifth Brother of the current Emperor!”

Xia Caiying relaxed a little but still didn’t dare lower her guard.

”So it’s the Fifth Prince!”

”This is Fengyu Pavilion, what does the Fifth Prince intend to do by coming here so late at night?” she asked, her tone full of vigilance.

Even if he was the Fifth Prince, it’s not respectable to intrude on a lady’s residence at night!

Zhao Junzhe gave a faint smile, not stepping forward, and pulled a Brocade Handkerchief from his sleeve.

”Miss, there’s no need to be afraid!”

”This item was found two Shi Chen ago at the entrance of Fengyu Pavilion, it must belong to you!”

”I came merely to return the item to its rightful owner!”

Even as the Fifth Prince, to showcase his demeanor, he referred to himself as ’I’.

Xia Caiying looked at the handkerchief, white with an embroidered plum blossom, indeed hers!

Immediately her face turned a bit red!

”Oh, so that’s it!”

”I, the minister’s daughter, misunderstood the Fifth Prince!”

”I offer my apologies to the Fifth Prince!”

The vigilance in Xia Caiying’s eyes disappeared, leaving only embarrassment.

She felt annoyed too.

’How could I be so careless, losing something so important!’
