Chapter 893: Clenching Fists and Gritting Teeth
Xiao Jingyi still thought that he was a prince after all, and the nephew of the current emperor.
Even if he was reprimanded by the emperor's uncle today, it was a matter between them, the royal uncle and nephew.
Now, as a prince, he is condescending to go to the home of a minister to apologize to a princess. This is a great honor for the Anguo Mansion and Princess Chengxian!
After he spoke up, Duke Anguo Fu Peng, as a minister, could not say "no" no matter what.
Unexpectedly, before Duke Anguo Fu Peng could even open his mouth, Xiao Jingyu, who was following Duke Anguo Fu Peng, blurted out the word "inconvenient", which directly shattered Xiao Jingyi's dream of going to Duke Anguo's mansion to see Leng Rongyue's beautiful face with his own eyes.
"Brother Yu, what do you mean?
I just want to meet Princess Chengxian to apologize. What's inconvenient about that?
Don't forget, you and Princess Chengxian haven't gotten married yet. Why are you watching so closely now? Can't you even meet your future relatives?
Besides, I'm asking about the Duke, and we're going to the Duke's Mansion, so could you please not get involved here, Brother Yu?"
Xiao Jingyi had a smile on his face, and it looked like he was joking with his close brother.
Xiao Jingyu didn't buy his story, "My cousin also said that we are future relatives.
Since we are future relatives, it’s not too late to meet again when we become real relatives.
Now, Yue'er is still a girl who has not yet reached the age of marriage. If my cousin knows any etiquette, he should not ask to meet a girl who has not yet reached the age of marriage, right?
Don’t you think it’s abrupt?
Or does my cousin think that my future princess, Princess Chengxian, can be met whenever he wants?
Or maybe, yesterday your princess, your mother-in-law, and especially your younger sister-in-law, all ran to the door of the Duke of Anguo's mansion and made a scene!
Cousin, do you want to come again today?"
Xiao Jingyu had a handsome face and spoke in a serious tone, but he refused to give in, which made Xiao Jingyi feel a little embarrassed.
"Brother Yu, what are you talking about?
Didn’t I just say that I just wanted to go to Princess Chengxian’s house to apologize? How could you think of me like this…”
“It doesn’t matter what I think of my cousin. What’s important is that my cousin should not do anything inappropriate.
Don't you want to apologize?
I will convey your apology, so you won't have to make the extra trip!"
After saying that, he looked at Anguogong Fu Peng and said, "Duke, shall we go?"
"it is good!"
Duke Anguo Fu Peng nodded in response.
"Please stay, my Lord!"
Xiao Jingyi still didn't give up and continued to pester her.
Duke Anguo Fu Peng turned around and bowed to Xiao Jingyi, "Your Highness Prince Yi, yesterday, it was your Highness Prince Yi's sister-in-law, the princess, and mother-in-law who bullied me outside my humble abode.
My little granddaughter is timid and was frightened at the time. She was afraid that it would bring trouble to me, so she filed a complaint and brought them to the Shuntian Prefecture Government.
Fortunately, the prefect arrived in time and conducted a trial on the spot according to the law, so the matter was over!
His Royal Highness Prince Yi did not show up at the time, so there was no need for him to apologize on behalf of the criminal.
Besides, it was an unpleasant thing, so it’s best not to mention it again.
What's more, yesterday, they were still His Royal Highness Prince Yi's princess consort, mother-in-law, and aunt, but today... today they are no longer the same. There is no need for His Royal Highness Prince Yi to apologize on their behalf!"
"Oh, Your Majesty, you misunderstood. I'm not apologizing on behalf of that sinner. I feel guilty myself and want to apologize in person..."
Xiao Jingyu wanted to continue speaking but was interrupted by Anguo Gong Fu Peng.
"Since Your Highness Prince Yi has said so, my minister and my little granddaughter are even more unworthy!
Besides, my granddaughter is already engaged to His Royal Highness Prince Yu, the cousin of His Royal Highness Prince Yi. His Royal Highness Prince Yi can be considered my granddaughter's future elder uncle.
It is really unreasonable that the future uncle insists on meeting the future sister-in-law!
His Royal Highness Prince Yi has many wives and concubines, so he doesn't care about his reputation;
However, my little granddaughter is still a young girl who has not yet reached the age of marriage, and I cannot but take into account her reputation.
I hope His Royal Highness Prince Yi will be more understanding and not insist on doing things that are not allowed!
Your Highness Prince Yi, I will take my leave now!"
After saying this, Duke Anguo Fu Peng bowed and continued to walk forward, followed closely by the brothers Fu Yinglan and Fu Yingze.
Some of the other court officials bowed to Prince Yi Xiao Jingyi, while others simply pretended not to see anything and left the palace with Xiao Jingyu and his party.
Xiao Jingyi stood there for a while before slowly walking towards the palace gate.
Xiao Jingyi was filled with resentment... If he couldn't see Leng Rongyue today, he wouldn't believe that he would never have the chance to see her again!
The old scoundrel, Duke Anguo Fu Peng, actually refused to let me visit his house to make friends in front of all the civil and military officials in the court, and directly refused to let me meet Leng Rongyue without any room for maneuver.
By the way, what did that old guy just say...that Leng Rongyue is timid?
Could a timid person have made the impassioned speech in the hall of Shuntian Prefecture that day?
Is it possible for a coward to send one's own father, grandmother, and vicious stepmother to hell, and to send one's half brothers and sisters to exile and become slaves?
"Ha ha……"
Xiao Jingyi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in hatred, secretly swearing a vicious temper... If I ascend to that high position one day, Leng Rongyue will still be mine!
And the Duke of Anguo’s Mansion…nine clans and eighteen generations…no one was left alive!
