Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Chapter 1389: Man in Black



The atmosphere at the scene was very awkward.

Both Celestial Master Zhang and the madam sensed something was amiss. However, since the other party was a Prince and did not make any move, they could only turn a blind eye and ignore it.

They also heard the discussions among the young ladies from prominent families.

"Ahem... ahem...!"

Celestial Master Zhang coughed a few times, and said sternly, "Ladies, for the sake of everyone's health, remember, it's a good habit not to speak while eating and not to chat before sleeping."

Everyone naturally understood what Celestial Master Zhang meant; he didn't want them to talk about the Fourth Prince and Miss Situ.

They were all official's daughters, and their fathers were officials in the court, so they naturally understood not to offend members of the Royal Family. Instantly, the room fell silent, and no one spoke again.

"Hmm!"

Now, Celestial Master Zhang and his wife were satisfied. They exchanged a smile and lowered their heads to focus on their meal.

The hall was silent.

At this moment, the doorkeeper suddenly rushed in to report...

"Report!"

"Speak!" Celestial Master Zhang raised his head, looking somewhat displeased. He hated being disturbed while dining the most.

"The War Prince has arrived."

Under Celestial Master's glare, the doorkeeper's heart trembled with fear. He didn't want to disturb the Celestial Master at this time, but fate loved to tease, and the War Prince came precisely at this Shichen, so he had no choice but to report.

"What?" Celestial Master Zhang thought he had misheard.

"Reporting to the Celestial Master, the War Prince has arrived," the doorkeeper cautiously said again.

This time, Celestial Master Zhang heard clearly. He glanced at Xuexue, not far away, thinking that since the War Prince's Consort was here, it made sense for him to appear here.

However, he was puzzled. According to rumors, didn't the War Prince despise this Consort, even using a big white goose in place of her during the wedding, deliberately humiliating her? So why is he here now?

Even though he had many doubts in his mind, he quickly put down his chopsticks, stood up, and urgently said, "Quickly, invite the War Prince."

"I came uninvited, so I hope Celestial Master Zhang forgives me."

Suddenly, an abrupt voice echoed from the entrance, resonating through the entire hall.

It seemed that the speaker used some Inner Strength in his voice.

Otherwise, the echo wouldn't have been so loud.

Everyone felt their ears buzzing from the tremor.

Involuntarily, they turned to see a tall man wearing a dark coat and a menacing mask, striding in with great presence.

Behind him followed several men in black, donned in tight outfits, each with a sword at their waist, exuding a formidable aura.

Celestial Master Zhang quickly stepped down from his seat and greeted the visitor with a respectful salute, "Oh my! What wind has blown today for the War Prince to grace us with your presence, truly bringing light to our humble abode!"

"I came uninvited, Celestial Master, so please don't be troubled!"

"Not at all, not at all, it is an honor, an honor indeed!" Celestial Master Zhang quickly replied.

Although he was a person of The Emperor, on the surface, he was a kindly person who offended no one.

This was precisely the brilliance of his bureaucratic approach.

The War Prince glanced casually at the surroundings and said nonchalantly, "Oh, is everyone dining?"

"Haha...! Indeed, has the War Prince eaten yet? Why not join us for some fun?"

"Would it not be a disturbance?"

"Not at all, not at all." Even if it was a disturbance, Celestial Master Zhang dared not say it to his face. This War Prince before him was someone even The Emperor held in some awe, so how could he dare to offend him openly?
