I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 381 Song Yinzhang's Injury

With a kiss, Zhao Wei took Zhao Pan'er into his arms.

This time, Zhao Pan'er did not resist at all and leaned on Zhao Wei's chest.

The two of them snuggled together like this, and time seemed to have stopped.

Zhao Pan'er quietly felt the happiness of this moment. She never thought that the high and mighty prince would become the person she trusted the most and was closest to.

After a long while, Zhao Pan'er suddenly remembered something and looked up and said, "Oh, right, the Gao family sent a box of jewels today, worth almost ten thousand taels."

"It's okay. Since Gao Hu gave it to you, just keep it." Zhao Wei smiled indifferently, reached out to take the painting on the table next to him, and asked, "What is this?"

Zhao Pan'er hurriedly snatched it and held it in her arms: "I just drew a few random strokes, preparing for the expansion of the half-covered face in the future, so that I can have a plan in mind."

Zhao Wei was stunned and couldn't help laughing, "You have just established yourself in Tokyo, and you are already thinking about expanding?"

Zhao Pan'er patted the account book and said proudly, "Because I made money. Adding up all the investment, I am not losing money now."

"Amazing." Zhao Wei praised generously, took the blueprint and looked at it in the moonlight, and said with a smile: "This is quite large, with pavilions and towers."

Zhao Paner nodded, with a hint of longing in her eyes.

"After a round of tea drinking with the people in Chatang Lane that day, I had some new ideas. In Qiantang, there were only so many customers before, so it was impossible to open a bigger store. But it's different in Tokyo. There are many people and they are willing to spend money. Now that the reputation of Banzhai has spread, I naturally want to go further and have a look."

Zhao Pan'er paused for a moment, then continued with a smile, "In the future, we should at least have a pavilion where Yinzhang can play the pipa. That's what we call peace and quiet. We should also hire two kitchen helpers so that Sanniang can concentrate on making fruits. In fact, she is better at cooking hot dishes. I once discussed with her whether we should open a restaurant together."

Zhao Wei had also tasted the food cooked by Sun Sanniang, and it was indeed delicious. She was fully qualified to be a royal chef in the palace.

Now after hearing what Zhao Pan'er said, he couldn't help but feel curious: "Then why didn't it open?"

"Because Sanniang has to take care of Zifang, Ouyang is also against..."

Zhao Pan'er realized that she had habitually used the nickname she used when she was in a relationship with Ouyang Xu. She quickly shut up, looked up at Zhao Wei, and didn't say anything else.

Zhao Wei didn't care, but continued with Zhao Pan'er's question and asked, "Why does he object?"

Zhao Pan'er said somewhat embarrassedly, "He said that opening a teahouse is still a refined thing, but opening a restaurant... If he becomes an official, and others know that he has a merchant wife, it will damage his reputation and make his career difficult."

Having said this, Zhao Pan'er paused, then looked up at Zhao Wei and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, if we really get married in the future, can I still continue to do business?"

Zhao Wei smiled and asked, "Do you like it?"

Zhao Pan'er nodded slightly. Although she had thought about closing the teahouse for Ouyang Xu's career, that would actually require her to give up part of her true self.

The recognition from customers and the growing numbers in the account book are the sources of her sense of security. Only when she can do her own things and support herself independently can she feel at ease and happy.

Zhao Wei looked at Zhao Pan'er steadily and said solemnly, "It's not a matter of if we will get married, but we will definitely get married. As for doing business, as long as you like it, then continue to do it until you get tired of it."

Zhao Pan'er felt that Zhao Wei's eyes, as dark as a deep pool, were almost sucking her in. She looked at him in a daze: "But if I do business, it will affect your reputation..."

Zhao Wei interrupted Zhao Pan'er and said with a smile: "Do you know which is the largest merchant in the Song Dynasty? It is our Han Palace. This is something that almost everyone in the court knows. As the princess of Han Palace, isn't it normal for you to do business?"

Zhao Pan'er jumped up in excitement: "Really?"

"What did I lie to you for?"

Zhao Pan'er looked up, her eyes full of emotion, and murmured, "Your Highness, you are so good to me, and you let me do whatever I want, but I can't give you anything. I don't have money, power, or family support, but instead..."

"You have become obsessed with business, right? Two people are in love, not doing business, so what's the point of talking about fairness?" Zhao Wei gently tapped Zhao Pan'er's forehead and said with a smile: "To me, you are the best, you deserve everything."

Zhao Pan'er was very excited, and after a long while she spoke, "Your Highness, I like you."

"I know." Zhao Wei lowered his head and kissed her lips gently: "Speaking of which, should I find a matchmaker to match our birth dates or something like that?"

Zhao Pan'er was no longer as shy as before. She was just stunned for a moment and said, "This...are you proposing marriage to me? Isn't it a bit too fast?"

"If you delay, something bad will happen. You are so good. If I don't marry you soon, and you run away with someone else, I will suffer a great loss."

"I'm not that kind of person." Zhao Pan'er said seriously, "As long as I, Zhao Pan'er, set my mind on someone, unless he betrays me first and does something unforgivable to me, I will never back down even if the road ahead is filled with dangers and difficulties, even if it means death."

Zhao Wei hummed, "I believe you, but I just want to marry you home as soon as possible. By the way, speaking of marriage proposal, I checked before. Your hometown is Dengzhou, right? Shouldn't you invite an elder of your clan with enough weight to come to Tokyo? After all, you can't let Madam Sun and Madam Song be your in-laws, right?"

Zhao Pan'er was stunned and blushed slightly: "Well, when my father fell into trouble in his early years, he was separated from the Zhao clan, but I heard from my mother that my family is the Zhao clan of Dengzhou."

"It is indeed the Zhao family of Dengzhou. I have also sent people to investigate your mother's case. Because of your father's case, the Liu family was also implicated. However, your two uncles are still alive. Huai En happened to be in Hebei. I have sent a message to him to ask for help."

When Zhao Pan'er heard this, her eyes suddenly became sore. She didn't expect that Zhao Wei had thought so thoroughly about the marriage. No one in the world had ever treated her so wholeheartedly and well.

She didn't want to ruin this beautiful night, so she held back her tears and smiled at Zhao Wei, her tone full of apology: "Your Highness, I'm sorry, I was always afraid before, thinking that I was not worthy of you, so I didn't dare to express my feelings."

"Then why do you dare to do it now?"

"Because I am not afraid now. You are a prince, a young general of the Song Dynasty, and a rare hero in the world. You are so good to me and have promised me time and time again. If I don't believe you anymore, I will really be sorry for your feelings for me. So I am willing to believe you and follow you for the rest of my life, just like what you said, Your Highness, we will be together for the rest of our lives and will never leave each other."

After saying that, Zhao Paner took the initiative to offer a kiss again.

Just when the two were kissing each other passionately, a voice rang out.

"Your Highness, Sister Pan'er, you guys..."

Zhao Pan'er hurriedly pushed Zhao Wei away, got out of his arms, stood up and looked at Song Yinzhang who was standing outside the pavilion in a daze, and stammered: "Yinzhang, I, we..."

Zhao Wei was very calm. Although he was being affectionate with Zhao Pan'er, he could still clearly hear Song Yinzhang's approaching footsteps. He just didn't say anything because he didn't want to ruin the atmosphere between him and Zhao Pan'er because of Song Yinzhang.

Seeing Zhao Pan'er's nervous look, Zhao Wei stood up and said calmly: "Madam Song, it's so late, you haven't slept yet." "I came to talk to Sister Pan'er about something." Song Yinzhang looked sad: "Sister Pan'er, you and His Highness...are you together?"

Zhao Pan'er walked anxiously to Song Yinzhang and said, "Yinzhang, Your Highness and I do have feelings for each other."

Sun Sanniang could see that Song Yinzhang had a different feeling for Zhao Wei. She could naturally see it too. After all, whenever Zhao Wei was around, Song Yinzhang would always show himself off and try to attract Zhao Wei's attention.

Before, Zhao Wei had not shown any special treatment towards Song Yinzhang, and she had not decided whether to be with Zhao Wei, so it was difficult for her to persuade Song Yinzhang. She just reminded her from the side that women should be independent and self-reliant.

Now, seeing Song Yinzhang looking sad, she didn’t know how to comfort him.

Song Yinzhang didn't look at Zhao Pan'er, but at Zhao Wei: "Your Highness, will you marry Sister Pan'er?"

Zhao Wei nodded and said seriously, "Yes, I will marry her. I will marry her in a grand sedan chair with eight bearers and in a formal ceremony. Your sister Pan'er will be my wife, Zhao Wei, and the princess of the Prince of Han's Palace."

Song Yinzhang felt a pain in her heart. Although she had long known that a lowly musician like herself had no right to hope for anything, she still had some hope before Zhao Wei said this.

She had never thought that she could become Zhao Wei's wife, but she just thought that even if she could be a concubine, she would be willing to do so.

But now, Zhao Wei is going to marry Zhao Pan'er, and she feels that she can no longer think about it. She absolutely cannot destroy the relationship between Zhao Wei and Zhao Pan'er.

So, Song Yinzhang suppressed the grief in his heart, put himself in the shoes of Zhao Pan'er's family, and said, "Your Highness, Sister Pan'er is very good. You will not regret marrying her. I wish you all the best."

"Yes, I know. I also hope that Madam Song can find her ideal husband soon."

"Thank you, Your Highness. It's getting late. I'll go to rest first." Song Yinzhang bowed, and couldn't hold back his tears any longer. He turned around and ran away, tears streaming down his face.

"Quote, quote."

Zhao Pan'er wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Zhao Wei.

"She needs to be alone to calm down now. You are not suitable to go there."

After the relationship was confirmed, Zhao Pan'er was no longer timid and snorted, "It's all your fault."

"Blame me?"

Zhao Wei pointed at his nose and complained, "How can you blame me for this? I never responded to her at all. And if you had agreed to be with me earlier, this wouldn't have happened."

Zhao Pan'er sighed, "Alas, Yin Zhang is innocent to begin with. You sent someone to rescue her at first, and then you treated her so well. Not only did you help her escape from nationality, you also gave her the lost music score. It's inevitable that she would think too much."

"You know, I'm doing this for your sake. She's your sister, I can't be ruthless to her."

Zhao Pan'er could actually understand it. Zhao Wei was so outstanding. Sun Sanniang had said before that even if they were not married, she would have been attracted to Zhao Wei. Not to mention that Song Yinzhang was a young girl at the age of love. It would be hard for her not to have a good impression of such an outstanding man like Zhao Wei when she met him.

"Yin Zhang... Well, I hope she can figure it out."

"She just can't accept it right now. She doesn't have deep feelings for me. Don't worry." Zhao Wei smiled and said, "Pan'er, remember to prepare your birth date and horoscope tomorrow. I'll come to you and have someone match your horoscopes."

He didn't believe in these things, but in this era, if he wanted to get married, the horoscopes had to match. Even if he didn't say it, Zhao Pan'er would definitely do it.

"Okay, I'll wait for you tomorrow."

Since she had already decided to be with Zhao Wei, Zhao Pan'er no longer hesitated. She talked to Zhao Wei in a sweet voice for a long time before sending him away.

Zhao Pan'er stood on the street for a long time, and returned to the yard with a smile that was still there. Just as she closed the gate, she was startled by Sun Sanniang who was standing behind her without her knowing.

Sun Sanniang patted her with excitement and said, "Oh, you are reluctant to leave? Zhao Pan'er, are you together with His Highness?"

"Keep your voice down."

Zhao Pan'er quickly covered Sun Sanniang's mouth and looked into the room where Song Yinzhang had turned off the lights.

Sun Sanniang also knew that Song Yinzhang had special feelings for Zhao Wei, and thought that Zhao Pan'er was worried that Song Yinzhang would be sad if she knew that they were together, so she said, "When I came out, Yinzhang had already fallen asleep, so she couldn't hear it. Tell me, did His Royal Highness the King of Han propose to you?"

Zhao Pan'er's ears blushed slightly, and she nodded: "Yes, he proposed to me, and I just found out that he had already considered the matter of marriage very carefully, and had sent people to check my relatives, and was already preparing to propose marriage."

Sun Sanniang's eyes suddenly filled with tears. She wiped her tears and said happily, "I said that God has eyes. It's your turn to wear the phoenix crown and bridal robe. You can't escape. That bastard Ouyang Xu, get lost! I've inquired about it. Even if he is promoted, he is only a sixth-rank official at most. He can't compare with His Royal Highness the King of Han... I'm fine, really fine. I'm just happy for you."

Zhao Pan'er didn't expect Sun Sanniang to be so excited, and hurriedly handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

After Sun Sanniang calmed down, Zhao Pan'er smiled and said, "Ouyang Xu is naturally no match for His Highness. His Highness said that he would report to the emperor that Ouyang Xu was lacking in morals and demoted him to a commoner."

Sun Sanniang tapped Zhao Pan'er's face and said jokingly, "Your Highness, shouldn't you call him Master?"

Zhao Pan'er said nothing and ran away shyly.

Sun Sanniang looked at her back, her heart surged. She was happy for her good friend, but when she thought of her own past, she felt a little sad for no reason, and tears slowly welled up in her eyes.

The next day, at dawn, Zhao Pan'er suddenly woke up from her dream.

She tossed and turned for a long time, thinking about the dream she had last night. In the fleeting glimpses, she only remembered that Zhao Wei in the dream was sometimes as heroic and brave as when he saved her in the Yang Mansion, and sometimes as romantic and unrestrained as when he kissed her under the moonlight. In the end, she was wearing a phoenix crown and a bridal gown, sitting in an unfamiliar room, and was knocked down by the drunk Zhao Wei, and then... those who understand will understand.

She didn't know why she had such a strange and embarrassing dream. Maybe it was because she was too nervous to write Zhao Wei's birthday horoscope today? !

Thinking of this, the last bit of sleepiness in Zhao Pan'er disappeared.

She simply got up and washed, changing her hairpins and then her shawl. On the one hand, she was afraid that she was dressed too formally, and on the other hand, she was afraid that she was not eye-catching enough.

After changing several sets of clothes, Zhao Paner was slightly satisfied and walked out of the room.
