I have traveled through time, who am I afraid of?

Chapter 805: Same Destination, Different Purposes

On the way out of the palace, although Xiao Jingyi pretended to be calm on the surface and tried to maintain his usual gentle and respectful image, he could clearly feel that the officials in the court were intentionally or unintentionally keeping their distance from him.

Even the officials who were already on his ship were deliberately avoiding him and did not dare to approach him in public.

As Prince Yi and the emperor's nephew, he was second only to Crown Prince Xiao Jingye and Prince Yu Xiao Jingyu. But at this moment, he could not feel the honor that he should have as the emperor's nephew!

There are no officials following closely;

There is no fawning flattery from officials;

Not even one person, especially those so-called close friends, came forward to quietly ask how to rescue his father-in-law Zhang Jinyan who was still in prison!

Instead, everyone avoids it as much as possible!

Xiao Jingyi was disappointed, angry, and filled with hatred. He walked out of the palace gate alone.

The officials bowed perfunctorily to His Royal Highness Prince Yi, then got on their carriages and left.

His carriage was parked at one side of the palace gate. Several guards were standing beside the carriage with their horses, waiting. Only Changgui came forward quickly.

"Your Highness, someone from the palace just reported: Early this morning, someone from the Empress's palace came to reply to the Princess, allowing her to enter the palace to pay her respects at 9:00 PM.

Look at the time...the princess should be arriving soon!"

As Changgui was speaking, he accidentally glanced into the distance and said, "Your Highness, look, isn't that the princess's carriage?"

Xiao Jingyi looked in the direction Changgui pointed...

Sure enough, a luxurious carriage was heading towards the palace gate in the distance.

The logo of Prince Yi's Mansion was clearly hung on the carriage.

The Queen actually allowed Zhang Miaoying to enter the palace to pay her respects...

Could it be that this is a hint to them... that Zhang Jinyan's matter will eventually be left alone?

Xiao Jingyi thought again that today, Madam Xue from the Anguo Mansion brought the two Madam Fus, especially Leng Rongyue, to the palace to express gratitude and meet the Empress. Now, Leng Rongyue should be in the Empress' Fengyi Palace.

Xiao Jingyi turned his head and looked towards Fengyi Palace, as if he could still see Leng Rongyue's unparalleled appearance and peerless elegance through the high palace walls.

"Your Majesty, should we go to the Ministry of Revenue, or go directly back to the palace?"

Changgui beside him asked carefully.

Changgui's question brought Xiao Jingyi's wandering mind back.

At this time, Zhang Miaoying's carriage had also stopped at the palace gate.

The maids and servants in a carriage behind hurried to Zhang Miaoying's carriage, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and helped Zhang Miaoying, who was dressed as a princess, out of the carriage.

Xiao Jingyi looked towards Zhang Miaoying...

What a pity for this princess’s dress!

If this princess's dress was worn by Leng Rongyue... how graceful and noble she would be!

How beautiful it would be!

Pity!

Pity!

Then I thought about Leng Rongyue going to the palace to express gratitude today, so she should be wearing the princess's formal attire, right?

I really want to take a look... I really want to...

Xiao Jingyi's mind moved, and he looked at Zhang Miaoying again.

Zhang Miaoying got off the carriage, stood firmly, adjusted the phoenix hairpin on her head and her dress, and was supported by two maids on both sides as she walked slowly towards the palace gate. She didn't even look at her husband!

The nanny beside Zhang Miaoying had already handed over the jade token given by Fengyi Palace, and the guards at the palace gate had already let her in.

Zhang Miaoying was about to step into the palace gate when she heard Xiao Jingyi's voice behind her, "Ying'er, wait a moment. I'll accompany you into the palace to pay my respects to the Imperial Aunt!"

Zhang Miaoying stopped, slightly stunned, and turned back in surprise, looking at Xiao Jingyi who was rushing towards her from behind...

I looked at the horizon again...

Is this... the sun rising from the west?

Shadow?

How long has it been since I heard this name?

What happened to Xiao Jingyi today?

Xiao Jingyi walked over quickly, even pushing away a maid beside Zhang Miaoying. He put his arm around Zhang Miaoying's waist and walked towards the palace gate with her.

The guards at the palace gate knew that Xiao Jingyi was the current emperor's nephew.

Since their nephew came to see his uncle, and he was accompanied by Princess Yi who was holding the jade token of Fengyi Palace, they had no reason to stop him.

Xiao Jingyi followed Zhang Miaoying into the palace and walked towards Fengyi Palace.

Zhang Miaoying originally wanted to refuse Xiao Jingyi's company out of spite.

But, on second thought, Xiao Jingyi is her husband after all;

After all, he is the current emperor's nephew.

If he was really willing to speak well of his father in front of his uncle and aunt...

Maybe it will be much more effective than asking for mercy as a niece-in-law!

Since he is willing to follow...then follow!

Besides, I, the niece-in-law, have already come. As his biological nephew, Prince Yi is closer to him than I, the niece-in-law. What reason do I have to stop him?

Just go!

Xiao Jingyi and Zhang Miaoying walked side by side towards Fengyi Palace.

Xiao Jingyi held Zhang Miaoying's waist all the way.

Zhang Miaoying did not move away. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, it was also a sign of dignity for her to have her husband close to her.

However, this seemingly intimate couple did not exchange another word until they reached the gate of Fengyi Palace.
