He's fear at this moment really came from the heart.
The princess consort was different from ordinary officials in the court. The scarlet and silver fish bag and the fish symbol inside the bag he wore on a daily basis were specially made and were unique symbols of his identity. However, he took them off and threw them in anger, leaving the princess behind and walked away.
Although the princess was kind and tolerant, and they had a previous relationship in Ganliang, she might not be too surprised by his behavior. However, in this Yongning mansion, except for her, the half-young girl, and the little maid Zhu'er who was not very useful, the rest of the people inside and outside the house were appointed by the emperor. With so many eyes watching, how could it be hidden? If the news spread to the palace and reached the emperor's ears, what would happen if it triggered Tian Ting's wrath? He Shi didn't dare to imagine.
She chased him out of Ziming Courtyard, but there was no way she could catch up with the tall and long-legged young man's quick strides. In the end, she could only watch him ride out alone on his horse, and his figure disappeared at the end of the street under the night.
The young man has been sensible since he was young, and his personality is stable and gentle. This is the first time that He has encountered him being so stubborn.
What happened? Was it because of what she said to him? She stopped helplessly, tears streaming down her face with anger. She turned around and rushed back to Ziming Courtyard. She entered the courtyard and heard nothing. She hurried to the outside of the princess's bedroom. Zhu'er, Jiu'er, Luyu and other maids were all standing under the porch. Zhu'er was holding medicine in her hand. She must have been frightened by the fierce look of the prince consort. The princess didn't call them, so they were all silent and didn't dare to move.
He calmed down and walked in. The long candle on the gilded copper lamp behind the curtain was still shining brightly, illuminating the princess sitting sideways in front of the dressing table. She lowered her head slightly, and her half-dry fluffy long hair fell quietly on both sides of her shoulders and arms, covering her face. It was impossible to see what her expression was at the moment, but her silhouette was motionless.
She should be looking at the fish bag that her husband had thrown away and the broken jade pieces scattered on the ground in front of her feet.
He went in behind the curtain and knelt down: "My husband has committed a serious mistake. I beg you to forgive him, Princess! Although he has been stubborn since he was young, he admits his mistakes very quickly. I believe he will soon realize his crime and return, and then give the princess a big gift to apologize. The princess can punish him in any way you want then. I just beg you not to be mean to him!" As she spoke, she kowtowed continuously.
Xu Yuru woke up, moved her body slightly, raised her head slowly, and turned to face He with a smile on her face.
She stood up from where she was sitting, walked to He, bent down to help him up from the ground and said, "Amu, you worry too much."
She glanced at the mess on the ground and said in a relaxed tone, "We just had a quarrel. Don't worry, I'm fine."
What He feared most was that the princess would get angry and report the matter to the emperor, or what if the emperor knew about it and the princess would be angry and not intercede for her husband.
As long as it is not these two things, when the husband comes back, the door will be closed here, no matter how much trouble there is between the princess and the husband, even if she gets angry and beats the husband, it will only be a matter within the mansion and will not cause any disaster.
He was finally able to relax a little, thanked the princess, and did not call anyone in, but immediately cleaned up the mess. She picked up the fish bag, held it in her hand, and found it light and empty. She looked around, but could not find the fish talisman anywhere in the room, and did not know where it had been thrown by her husband. Because of the princess, it was not convenient to search everywhere immediately, so she had to give up for the time being. After putting away the empty fish bag, she cleaned up the broken pieces of the ornaments that were originally the princess's dowry, so that there was no sign of anything unusual in the bedroom, and said softly: "Princess, take a rest."
