Xiao Yichen: Ji Lingxue, since you like to act stupid, then I will act with you.
As Xiao Yichen approached, Ji Lingxue's heart was filled with alarm. There was a gleam in her deep black eyes, as if telling him that he could see through all the truth and falsehood.
Ji Lingxue lowered her head, just avoiding Xiao Yichen's big hand, and pouted her lips and said, "Mo Xiang and I went to the street. It was so boring to stay in the house, so I went to the theater. I remember that you used to take me to the theater when you were free, but now you have become very busy, so I can only let Mo Xiang accompany you..."
Xiao Yichen's heart was touched by something, and it hurt like a needle. He remembered that when he was a child, in order to make Ji Lingxue happy so that she could cook delicious food for him, he took her to the theater to watch a play.
Ji Lingxue was not interested in the content of the play. Every time she went over, she would start eating melon seeds and grapes. When she was tired, she would lean on his shoulder and sleep until the play was over. It was just dusk, so they would hold hands and walk through the long street back home together.
The ignorant childhood was finally over. Xiao Yichen looked at Ji Lingxue with complicated eyes. He retracted his hand that was sticking in the air and said, "Let's go. I will take you home."
Ji Lingxue raised her head and looked at Xiao Yichen, looking at him cutely, "Will the prince not abandon me this time?"
Xiao Yichen was stunned. For so many years, he had always left her in a corner and never cared about her. If it weren't for this Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, he would have left Ji Lingxue to fend for herself.
Xiao Yichen nodded and said, "Let's go. It's getting late." After that, he didn't even look at Ji Lingxue, turned around and strode away.
Mo Xiang was delighted. The prince came personally to pick up the princess. What a great honor.
Ji Lingxue had a bitter face. She seemed to have successfully attracted Xiao Yichen's attention. It would be a bit difficult for her to go out of the house to do things in the future.
In Prince Chen's Mansion, there was a commotion in the courtyard where Ji Yuqing lived. There was the sound of porcelain breaking and the voices of maids kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.
Zi Su sent away the maid who made Ji Yuqing unhappy, closed the door and stood behind Ji Yuqing, waiting for her to calm down.
A quarter of an hour ago, Ji Yuqing heard that Xiao Yichen would be returning home soon, and she happily washed and dressed up and went out to greet him. She had already prepared exquisite side dishes and prepared the bridal chamber for the arrival of the protagonist Xiao Yichen.
But she never expected that when she walked to the flowers, she saw from afar Xiao Yichen bringing the fool Ji Lingxue back. The two were talking about something one after the other. The smile on Xiao Yichen's lips instantly stimulated Ji Yuqing.
After returning to her room, she smashed all the dishes in the house to vent her anger, but even then she still couldn't calm down.
Ji Yuqing's face reflected in the bronze mirror was distorted for a moment. When she saw Zi Su in the mirror, she calmed down and asked, "Have you found out why the prince took that idiot back to the palace?"
Zi Su nodded and said, "In ten days it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. The palace will hold a banquet, and the Queen Mother specifically asked the prince to bring that silly princess into the palace."
Ji Yuqing clenched her fists and her fingers kept shaking. "What can that idiot do in the palace? He can only make a fool of himself. I don't know how the prince came up with the idea of bringing that idiot into the palace to embarrass himself. Doesn't he think it's most appropriate to bring me along?"
Although Ji Yuqing has been the legitimate daughter of the Ji family for many years, she has never attended a palace banquet. Now that she is the concubine of Prince Chen, she naturally feels that she should attend the palace banquet holding Xiao Yichen's arm. She is the woman who stands by Xiao Yichen and accompanies him through thick and thin.
Zi Su lowered her head and didn't dare to answer.
Ji Yuqing asked again: "Did the prince ask me to attend the palace banquet as well?"
Shisu buried her head even lower.
Ji Yuqing gritted her teeth and said, "It was that idiot who blocked my way..."
