King's Regrets
The Eps 59

Tap tap tap

The sound of footsteps rang out clearly behind the crown prince Zhang who was walking towards the door of the royal palace.

"I didn't expect that you would move quickly on Empress Yan, crown prince Zhang." Said prince Xia who stood not far behind crown prince Zhang.

Crown Prince Zhang turned around and smiled.

"You're wrong to call out names, prince Xia. She was no longer Empress Yan here. And her name was Xia Lian An not Empress Yan anymore."

Prince Xia looked at crown prince Zhang with dislike, even though they were friends. But prince Xia could not accept if in the end crown prince Zhang was the one who would be together with Xia Lian An.

"Although that was the case, she would not be able to deny if she had ever been an empress in this country."

"You're right, but soon she'll be replacing her as Ming's empress."

"Zhang Jiang Wu!"

"Prince Xia, you really don't like my relationship with Miss Xia. Are you... Also like Miss Xia?"

Prince Xia rounded his eyes "Omong is empty! I never had such feelings for him."

"If so, because she is no longer the empress of the Yan Qin state. Then let him choose the person who deserves to be next to him."

Prince Xia was silent, he could not say anything more to crown prince Zhang.

Crown Prince Zhang smiled and turned around to leave the palace to return to Yu city.

"Wang Jiang Wu, do you really want to be with a woman who was once your own friend's wife?"

Although during Xia Lian An became the wife of emperor Shun was never touched by the emperor Shun (still holy). But still, Xia Lian An's status was a widow.

And there has never been a history of several kingdoms, where the emperor's successor married a widow. Moreover, she was once the empress of another country.

After crown prince Zhang and prince Xia came out, emperor Shun thought about what crown prince Zhang had said just now.

Indeed, all this time he had never been kind to Xia Lian An, but when he heard that others were kind and so protective of Xia Lian An, emperor Shun felt displeased, and wanted to replace the current crown prince Zhang who was close to Xia Lian An.

"Why, why do I feel like this? Really sucks." Emperor Shun uttered furiously.

Outside the palace, crown prince Zhang accompanied by his personal bodyguard walked through the market in the capital.

"We went to the confectionery shop first before returning to Yu city, I remember Miss Xia really liked the sweets sold in this market." Crown prince Zhang.

"Okay, your honor."

Crown Prince Zhang and his personal bodyguard went to a confectionery shop, he tried some sweets at the store and bought some sweets from there.

In addition to sweets, crown prince Zhang also bought clothes that he thought would be suitable if worn by Xia Lian An.

The personal bodyguard of crown prince Zhang who had accompanied him all this time, had never seen crown prince Zhang so busy and happy to buy something for a woman.

"Miss Xia, it seems that your highness the crown prince really likes you. May you not make me and the queen's majesty disappointed."

Finished buying everything that crown prince Zhang wanted to give Xia Lian An, he decided to immediately return to Yu city so as not to go into a night when he arrived there.

Crown Prince Zhang's personal bodyguards helped bring all the items that crown prince Zhang had bought, then placed them all in the carriage.

After crown prince Zhang got into the carriage, his personal bodyguard nodded his head at the person carrying the carriage to depart.

Inside the carriage, crown prince Zhang looked at some of the items he had just bought with a feeling of pleasure, as he was about to meet Xia Lian An soon.

Meanwhile at Xia Lian An's house, she was in the kitchen together with Xiao Fen. They are preparing to cook.

"Miss, this venison is very good for adding blood." Xiao Fen.

"You're right Xiao Fen. Oldest brother is injured and he has already shed so much blood, so I want to cook this venison for the eldest brother."

"Miss, miss is so kind to the princess. Though his majesty the emperor was so rude and always hurt miss."

Xia Lian An looked at Xiao Fen and smiled.

"The one who hurt me was the emperor, not the eldest brother or the minor king's noble. They helped me a lot when I was in the palace, so of course I couldn't do evil to them just because they were the brother and sister of the emperor."

"You're a really good person, miss."

"Have not praised me again, quickly help me cut off all the vegetables and start the fire."

"Well miss."

Xia Lian An in help Xiao Fen would cook this afternoon, she could not let the eldest daughter sleep in the inn while her legs were injured. So Xia Lian An decided to take care of the eldest daughter in her home.

No no no no no no

The sound of a knife cutting through food ingredients was so melodious that it sounded from the outside, Xia Lian An's face was very serious while processing food ingredients in the kitchen with Xiao Fen.

After all the ingredients were ready, and Xiao Fen had lit a fire on the frying pan wait. Xia Lian An was ready to cook all the ingredients into a delicious and appetizing cuisine.

"I really never knew if Miss was so good at cooking like this before." Said Xiao Fen who was always amazed at the way Xia Lian An cooked.

"You were a palace chef before, why do you praise me so much? Though the dishes you make taste much more delicious."

"No, I'm not as smart as miss. The taste of my cooking is not as good as made by miss."

"Already, already. Please prepare some plates and bowls."

"Well miss."

For almost an hour Xia Lian An fought with cooking utensils in the kitchen, and finally 3 types of dishes were ready to be enjoyed.

Xiao Fen brought the 4 types of dishes into the room occupied by the eldest daughter.

The 4 dishes Xiao Fen placed on the table, as well as two bowls of rice and two sets of chopsticks.

"Lian'er, did you make all this food?" Asked the eldest daughter while staring at the table full of cooking.

"Right sister, I cooked some venison for brother. It's great for adding blood to a brother who's lost to injury."

"I didn't know you were good at cooking."

Xia Lian An smiled, then helped the eldest daughter sit on the chair.

"Try my brother." Xia Lian An said as she placed a piece of venison into the bowl of the eldest daughter.

The eldest daughter took her chopsticks and ate the venison given by Xia Lian An.

"It's so good, you're really good at cooking Lian'er."

"Sister was very complimentary. Come on, brother should eat more."

The eldest daughter nodded, she was happy because even though her sister had been rude to Xia Lian An. But Xia Lian An's heart was huge, she did not mix her personal and emperor Shun's stirrings with those close to her.
