Chapter 781 Meeting the Master at the Mansion Gate
The sharp arrow that suddenly shot into the carriage completely diverted Xiao Jingyi's thoughts.
Xiao Jingyi concluded that the dozens of people he sent to Yunxiang Mountain... were not killed by the people from the Anguo Mansion and Xiao Jingyu's people.
Because they had arranged this operation, there was no way they could know about it.
Then, there is only one possibility, that they were killed by that person's people, or... they were all caught.
The reason is that that person also has his eyes on Leng Rongyue.
But shouldn’t that person be in the Prince’s Mansion of his Dongwei Kingdom?
Could it be that... he came to Jingyue Country?
Not only did he come to Jingyue Country, but he also brought a lot of terrifying people with him?
I think this should be the case, otherwise, he would not have secretly killed or captured and imprisoned all of his fifty or so men without making any noise.
That person's behavior is really too much!
Since you have come to Jingyue Country, why didn’t you inform me in advance?
Instead, he always hid in the dark and even set his eyes on Leng Rongyue, the one he liked!
Xiao Jingyi sat in the carriage with a gloomy look, thinking about everything that had happened.
For a moment, he even thought...
Perhaps he could bear the pain and give Leng Rongyue to that person in exchange for his unwavering support.
When one day I really ascend the throne of Jingyue Kingdom, I will search for the most beautiful woman in the world. I don’t believe that I can’t find another woman as beautiful as Leng Rongyue.
However, this thought only lasted for a moment before being rejected by Xiao Jingyi.
No, I would rather give up ten cities than give up Leng Rongyue!
Xiao Jingyi had a vague feeling that Leng Rongyue's value could not be compared to ten cities!
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingyu took out a fire starter from the small drawer under the tea table, lit it, burned the note, and threw it on the small tea tray on the tea table.
Xiao Jingyi stared at the handful of ashes in the tea tray and returned to Prince Yi's Mansion.
After getting off the carriage outside the mansion gate, Xiao Jingyi took a step into the gate and saw Zhang Miaoying walking towards him.
Behind Zhang Miaoying, there were six maids and two old women - she was acting like a real princess!
When Xiao Jingyi looked at him, he inexplicably felt disgusted.
Xiao Jingyi wanted to pretend that he didn't see his princess!
Look at this appearance, look at this temperament...which one can compare with Leng Rongyue?
What's more, Leng Rongyue is still young and has not yet reached the age of marriage. When she grows up a few more years, how stunning and beautiful will she be?
Compared with Leng Rongyue, this precious gem, Zhang Miaoying is just dust on the ground.
Xiao Jingyi wanted to speed up and get away as soon as possible.
But Zhang Miaoying on the opposite side had already seen Xiao Jingyi enter the mansion, and quickened her pace to walk towards him.
Xiao Jingyi had no choice but to stop.
Zhang Miaoying walked closer and bowed in what she considered an extremely elegant gesture, "Your Highness, it's time to leave the morning court!"
There’s too much sugar in Zhang Miaoying’s voice!
Xiao Jingyi concealed his disgusted and impatient expression and nodded slightly, "Princess, are you going out?"
Zhang Miaoying smiled and nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty, I have to go back to my parents' home. My mother sent a message saying that she has been feeling unwell recently and misses me.
I will go back to the mansion to see my mother and will be back in the evening!"
Xiao Jingyi sneered inwardly after hearing this...
Are you feeling unwell?
When she finds out that Zhang Jinyan has been imprisoned in the Sky Prison, she will probably feel even more uncomfortable, right?
I'm afraid... your entire Zhang family will feel uncomfortable, right?
Xiao Jingyi just thought so but didn't say it out loud, nor did he tell Zhang Miaoying about his father Zhang Jinyan being thrown into the Heavenly Prison by the Emperor.
Xiao Jingyi nodded slightly, "Then go ahead. There's no need to rush back. You can stay with your mother for a few more days!"
If this sentence were said between other couples, it would be understood that the husband cares about his wife and, therefore, his wife's family.
Knowing that his mother-in-law was not feeling well, he asked his wife to stay at her parents' home for a few more days and spend more time with his mother-in-law.
However, when Zhang Miaoying heard the same words...it didn't mean the same thing!
Zhang Miaoying looked at Xiao Jingyi in front of her, the corners of her mouth twitched, her smile revealed unconcealable hurt and bitterness, and her words were inevitably sarcastic.
"Your Highness, are you eager for me to return to my parents' home?
I even wish I could stay at my parents' home for a few more days.
It’s best to go back…and never come back, right?
Anyway, there are plenty of beautiful girls in this palace to accompany the prince and please him.
Your Majesty is afraid that I will make them too prudish and solemn, and lose the flirtatiousness that Your Majesty likes...
Therefore, the prince felt that having a concubine in the palace was an eyesore.
Am I right?"
What Xiao Jingyi hated most was Zhang Miaoying's innuendo, sarcasm, and jealous way of speaking.
Xiao Jingyi didn't indulge her either, he sneered and said, "Since Princess understands this, then just take it as my intention!
How come I didn’t know that the princess is so considerate?
In that case, the princess should go back to her parents' home and stay there for a while. It's okay if she doesn't come back!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked directly towards his study.
Changgui glanced at the prince who was leaving quickly, and then looked at the princess who was standing there, feeling embarrassed and annoyed.
When there are conflicts between the masters, it is difficult for the servants!
Changgui had no choice but to hurriedly bow to the princess and ran away after Xiao Jingyi.
