Chapter 813 Regret coming and forcing a smile
Xiao Jingyu heard Xiao Jingyi say with some embarrassment that they had a few words with Zhang Miaoying on the way to Fengyi Palace. Xiao Jingyu nodded as if he understood, and only said four words "So that's it"... There was no further words, and he turned his head back.
Emperor Hongde was the same. When he heard Xiao Jingyi say that the reason he was distracted was because he had an argument with Zhang Miaoying, he just nodded and turned back to talk to Duke Anguo Fu Peng and his son.
As court officials, the Duke of Anguo and his sons did not make any unnecessary expressions and did not even glance at Xiao Jingyi.
They were clearly acting as if they were saying, "This is a matter between you and your husband, and we shouldn't interfere."
Xiao Jingyi... uh... is that the end?
I had an argument with my princess today on the way to Fengyi Palace. What else could it be about?
At this moment, is there anything else between me and the princess that is worth arguing about at this time?
The quarrel between the two people must be because of the matter of the Second Assistant Zhang Jinyan!
Just now, when Xiao Jingyu asked him why he was distracted, he quickly came up with an idea and said that he was distracted because he had an argument with Zhang Miaoying not long ago.
He said this to test the attitudes of his uncle, Xiao Jingyu, and the Duke of Anguo, father and son, towards himself and Zhang Jinyan being imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.
Now, their attitude has been tested.
Just the four words "So that's it" were exchanged for the four words "indifferent"!
No one cared what the couple quarreled about;
The in-laws were sitting around the table chatting happily, and if I spoke up now... and brought up the topic of the quarrel between me and Zhang Miaoying... it would be too annoying, too disappointing, and too ignorant!
Let’s not talk about the fact that Zhang Jinyan was sent to the Heavenly Prison because he angered the emperor. The reason why he angered the emperor was because he targeted the Anguo Mansion and Leng Rongyue.
Look at the people sitting at this table. Is there anyone who is willing to listen to me mention Zhang Jinyan at this time and place?
Who would forgive the past and agree to let Zhang Jinyan go just because he asked for mercy?
It is very likely to backfire!
Forget it, I've already tried it out, so I'd better not be so tactless and cause trouble!
Xiao Jingyi dismissed the useless idea.
Next, the king, his ministers and relatives sat around and toasted each other.
From beginning to end, Xiao Jingyi had almost no chance to get a word in!
Originally, no one wanted to listen to what he wanted to say;
He sat there and no one wanted to pay any attention to him.
As for Xiao Jingyu and Leng Rongyue, who were occasionally mentioned between Emperor Hongde and Duke Anguo and his son, no matter how good Xiao Jingyi was at pretending, he was unwilling to follow them in saying things like they were a perfect match made in heaven or a pair made for each other.
Xiao Jingyi was unwilling!
He was still thinking about snatching Leng Rongyue to himself, so how could he possibly say a word of blessing to Xiao Jingyu and Leng Rongyue!
Xiao Jingyi sat there, sometimes forcing a smile, and sometimes unable to hide the distorted expression as if he had swallowed a fly.
Xiao Jingyi like this seemed to have added an interesting side dish to the emperor and his ministers at the table!
The few of them understood each other tacitly and chatted and drank happily without being affected at all.
To be honest, the one who suffered the most was not Xiao Jingyu, but Zhang Miaoying.
Zhang Jinyan is Xiao Jingyi's father-in-law. To Xiao Jingyi, if he cannot be a help, then he is a burden.
If it is a burden, you can discard it at any time.
In other words, his princess and his father-in-law could be abandoned at any time.
But Zhang Miaoying is different, the person in the prison is her biological father.
Compared to her husband, Prince Yi, her father is her real support for survival.
As long as her father is the second in command, her identity as Princess Yi is still there.
If my father loses his position as the Second Prime Minister and his Mansion collapses, it will only take a blink of an eye for me, the princess, to become a divorced woman.
Zhang Miaoying could only say that she regretted it immensely today... regretted entering the palace to pay her respects to the Queen.
Zhang Miaoying was also blaming herself in her heart...
I made mistakes in a hurry. In a panic, there are things I don't consider.
For example, yesterday, Leng Rongyue was just canonized as Princess Chengxian and was granted marriage again. Naturally, she would go to the palace to express her gratitude the next day.
Why didn’t I think of this?
He was so anxious that he just wanted to go to the palace to see the queen as soon as possible to plead for his father who was in the prison. However, he didn't expect to run into the Anguo family who came to the palace to express gratitude for two happy events!
The reason why his father was sent to the Heavenly Prison was related to these two happy events in the Anguo Mansion!
They say enemies become jealous of each other when they meet!
Not to mention the awkwardness of meeting my enemy today, I have to put on a nonchalant smile when meeting my enemy... This... is too difficult!
But now, we have to meet on a narrow road, and we have to smile at each other!
Zhang Miaoying's nails were almost digging into the flesh of her palms.
Helplessly, she could only force herself to follow Queen Luan Xiying with a smile that she thought was appropriate, passing through the pearl curtains lifted by the palace maids and entering the inner hall.
