I need a wife, not a Crown Princess

Xiaoming was stunned to find her mother and daughter of the Prime Minister, Kang Cha Ying. He glanced at Eunuch Lishi, who was standing near the chaise on which the Queen was seated.

Xiaoming, stepped forward and greeted his mother, who asked him to take a seat. He nodded and settled on the broad mahogany chair. Cha Ying stood up and formally greeted the Prince.

"Why did the Royal Mother let Miss Cha Ying wait? I had sent the message through Eunuch Lishi that I may get late because of urgent work," Xiaoming said. He didn't like that Zhu Liling was adamant to make him meet Cha Ying. He thought if he would return to the palace late, he didn't have to meet Cha Ying.

"Crown Prince, Cha Ying was ready to wait for you. She is such a patient woman," Zhu Liling complimented her. Cha Ying smiled and kept her eyelids low.
