The emperor's eyes were slightly red, and he reached out and squeezed Prince Jing's arm, turning it around in front of his eyes to make sure there were no hidden injuries. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I knew you would be fine!"
It was rare for an emperor to lose his composure and claim that he was talking about "I".
"Brother Emperor, I'm back!"
After saying this, Prince Jing pulled the emperor into his arms and gave him a big hug. Not only did the emperor not blame him for being so offended, he also laughed and said yes. You could hear that the laughter was full of happiness and joy.
Jian Yu stood aside with a meek look on her face, thinking to herself that the brotherly love between the Emperor and Prince Jing was indeed as written in the original book, so close that no other prince could compare.
With the unlimited favor from the emperor and the status of the commander-in-chief of the northern side, how angry should Prince Jing be? I'm afraid it's lawless!
Jian Yu felt her eyes darken.
This is not the place to talk. The emperor was about to ask his younger brother to take a carriage back to the palace with him. When he saw his younger brother glance to the side, he looked away, then put his hand to his mouth, cleared his throat and said: "Your Majesty. Brother, a lot of things have happened during this time, I will give you a marriage."
At this time, he began to claim to be me, a majestic emperor, and felt a little guilty.
When Prince Jing cast his gaze towards him, Jian Yu noticed it. He was so aggressive and sharp that it was hard for her to ignore him even if she wanted to ignore him.
I wanted to pretend to be stupid and deal with it, but after the emperor said this, I couldn't pretend to be stupid anymore.
Jian Yu's eyelashes trembled, she bowed her head and saluted, and said in a mosquito-like voice, "I've met the prince."
Without knowing the other person's attitude, the word husband should never be uttered.
After the words fell, the young prince beside him said: "Greetings to father!"
Prince Jing responded with a hum. Although he didn't know who he was promising to, Jian Yu had already thought of the best situation before denying the attack mercilessly.
Seeing Prince Jing getting into the carriage with the emperor, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Feeling that the back of her hand was patted twice, Jian Yu lowered her head and met the worried gaze of the young prince. Shouldn't the mother be happy when her father is back? Why did he feel his mother's strong uneasiness.
"a little nervous."
Jian Yu sighed at the young prince's keenness, and she found an excuse to deal with it.
Since Prince Jing returned safely, the emperor held a banquet in the palace. All the ministers and family members would be there. As Princess Jing, she naturally couldn't be absent.
Coming to the city gate to pick someone up is just the first step, the next difficulty is yet to come!
After entering the palace, Prince Jing had to talk to the emperor first. The banquet would not start until the evening, so Jian Yu took the time to go back to the palace and change into the official uniform of the royal concubine.
The young prince heard Jian Yu say he was nervous, but he couldn't comfort him. He couldn't go against his conscience and say that his father had a good temper and was an elegant and gentle person...
Every time I make a mistake, my father will be very cruel! Even if he didn't make a mistake, he would not comfort himself. After much thought, the young prince, who had no words of comfort, decided to remain silent.
The silence between mother and son made other people in the palace feel a little unsure. Shouldn't it be a happy thing for the prince and his master to come back today? Why are the two masters in this state?
After Jian Yu changed her clothes, she noticed that everyone looked a little tired. She suddenly felt relieved. Look, she was not the only one who was afraid of Prince Jing's return!
Seeing the princess's steps suddenly becoming brisk as she got into the carriage, everyone was confused again. So what exactly is going on with the two masters?
After arriving at the palace, Zhou Jialiang, as the eldest son of Prince Jing, went to play with some half-grown teenagers from the clan, while Jian Yu came to Fanghua Palace to be with the female concubines.
Everyone saw how happy and important the Emperor was that Prince Jing was back safely. Even Concubine Liu Guifei and Concubine Xi, who were not usually dealt with, sat together today without any tit-for-tat.
When Concubine Liu spoke, Concubine Xi stopped speaking. Concubine Xi spoke, but Concubine Liu remained silent. This created a strange balance.
And Jian Yu's arrival brought the female family members to a climax of excitement.
"Princess Jing is here, come and sit down, she looks really radiant today!"
"Princess Jing will enjoy the blessings from now on!"
…
This is a joke among the female members of the royal family. Of course, some people say this out of good intentions, while others are teasing.
Prince Jing's lukewarm look at the city gate made it difficult to tell his attitude, but the fact that he was not overly affectionate was enough to show that Prince Jing did not like Princess Jing.
According to Prince Jing's temperament, the princess was not liked by him. Even if the emperor offered her a marriage, he could just say she didn't want it, and the emperor would not blame her for it.
In the end, the poor one is Princess Jing!
Most people were happy to see Princess Jing's misfortune. After all, Jian Yu's arrogant behavior had offended many people before. Not to mention the other female relatives, even Concubine Liu Guifei and Concubine Xi who were sitting on top were eager to watch the fun.
Two people who couldn't deal with each other thought of going to the same place for the first time in so many years.
Although these things have not happened yet, they are basically foreseeable! How could a powerful God of War like Prince Jing like the charming Princess Jing who faints at any time!
When Prince Jing was still a boy, he expressed his dislike for squeamish women.
Naturally, Jian Yu also heard about this, but she couldn't help it. With her body and appearance, she tried her best to look weak and not squeamish!
Although the female relatives want to see Princess Jing in trouble, they must not offend her now. When Prince Jing really doesn't want Princess Jing, it won't be too late for them to add insult to injury!
Some are shrewd, and some are careless, and they can't wait to show their sarcastic faces.
"Princess Jing, didn't Prince Jing talk to you when we were at the city gate? Prince Jing must be extremely happy to see you!"
When you say these words and match the other person's sinister smile, you have to listen to them in reverse.
Jian Yu picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then slowly put it down and looked at the woman who spoke. Such a leisurely and seemingly indifferent attitude made the woman who was waiting for Princess Jing's reply a little embarrassed.
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
Jian Yu's impatient tone made the scene suddenly become silent. No one thought that Princess Jing could still speak so arrogantly. Shouldn't she restrain herself when Prince Jing comes back?
Isn't she afraid that a quarrel with others will spread to Prince Jing's ears and cause resentment?
"Which family are you a girl from? You look like you haven't left the government yet. Why are you so curious about other people's family affairs?"
Jian Yu's words are tantamount to pointing at the other person's nose and saying they have no tutor, no manners, and no brains.
Everyone present could understand this subtext. Sure enough, Princess Jing still had the same venomous temperament. She spoke softly and coquettishly, but every word was heartbreaking.
"How can Princess Jing say that to me? My father is General Jierong, Prince Jing's right-hand man!"
The family members of the generals in Bianbei do not necessarily all live in Bianbei. Some family members live in Shengjing, such as the beloved daughter of General Jierong.
"What does this princess say about you and your father? Why, don't you still have to say hello to your father?"
As soon as these words came out, several noble ladies couldn't help but chuckle. Princess Jing's answers were always so unexpected. Often when Princess Jing was blaming someone, as long as it didn't affect herself, it would be very interesting to hear!
The woman changed her domineering look, lowered her head and cried.
Jian Yu said nothing more and continued to use the cakes by herself, not worrying at all that the incident at the banquet would reach Prince Jing's ears.
When others saw this, they also stopped thinking. As long as Jian Yu didn't retaliate forcefully just now, as long as she relented, someone would follow her example, and Princess Jing would instantly become "a target of public criticism".
Seeing that the atmosphere had cooled down, Concubine Xi spoke to smooth things over, and the female relatives followed suit, and the excitement returned to normal for a while.
Not long after, the chief steward came over and told Concubine Liu that the emperor and Prince Jing had come out of the royal study to attend a banquet.
A group of female relatives walked to the front hall, and everyone was thinking that this time, they could see with their own eyes what Prince Jing's attitude towards Princess Jing was!
