Chapter 818: Get off the carriage and return to the Zhang family
Seeing that Prince Yi, Xiao Jingyi, was not in the courtyard in front of the main hall, the head maid Shu Xiu beckoned over the young maid standing outside the hall and asked, "Did you see where Prince Yi went?"
The little palace maid bowed and said, "In reply to Aunt Shuxiu, I just saw His Royal Highness Prince Yi leaving the Fengyi Palace.
Now... whether he is still outside the gate of Fengyi Palace... I don't know!"
Zhang Miaoying frowned slightly and felt a chill in her heart.
Xiao Jingyi ordered someone to notify her, but she didn't wait for her in the courtyard. Is this... is she going to slap her, the princess, in the face even in the palace?
"Princess Yi, let me escort you out. His Royal Highness Prince Yi should be waiting for you outside the Fengyi Palace!"
Will Xiao Jingyi be waiting for me outside Fengyi Palace?
Zhang Miaoying really doesn't have this confidence.
At this moment, Zhang Miaoying could only force a smile and followed the head maid Shu Xiu towards the gate of Fengyi Palace.
As expected, Xiao Jingyi was still nowhere to be seen outside the palace gate.
The expression of the head palace maid Shu Xiu did not change at all. She just called the eunuch guarding outside the palace gate and asked a question. Only then did she know that Prince Yi Xiao Jingyi had left a message saying that he was not feeling well and went to rest in the carriage outside the palace gate first.
This statement can be considered as giving Zhang Miaoying some face.
The head maid Shu Xiu ordered the young eunuch to escort Zhang Miaoying out of the palace.
Watching Zhang Miaoying walk away, the head palace maid Shu Xiucai turned around calmly and returned to Fengyi Palace.
The annoying person left, and Queen Luan Xiying smiled the happiest.
Seeing the chief palace maid Shu Xiu come in and report that Princess Yi had been escorted out of Fengyi Palace, she asked, "What about Prince Yi?"
"In reply to the Queen, Prince Yi did not wait for Princess Yi outside the Fengyi Palace. Instead, he left the palace directly, saying that he was not feeling well and needed to rest in the carriage for a while!"
The senior palace maid Shu Xiu replied.
"Oh!"
Queen Luan Xiying nodded.
"Shu Xiu, have someone remove these fruit plates and replace them with the fresh fruits from the lunch boxes over there!"
"Yes, Queen!"
Soon, two plates of cherries, one red and one white, were served. As for the cantaloupe...
Leng Rongyue gave instructions directly, "Aunt Shuxiu, that is a cantaloupe. You need to peel the skin thinly, cut it open, and then remove the pulp inside.
Cut it into small pieces and insert a silver skewer, it will be easier to eat!"
"Yes, I understand!
Thank you for your guidance, Princess!"
The chief palace maid Shu Xiu bowed to Leng Rongyue.
Empress Luan Xiying ordered, "Shu Xiu, take another portion of the cherries and melons to the outer hall for the Emperor, Duke Anguo, and the two Masters Fu..."
Before Empress Luan Xiying could finish her words, she heard the voice of Emperor Hongde coming in, "No need to send her out. I am coming in with my beloved ministers!"
Empress Luan Xiying, Old Madam Xue, the First Madam, the Second Madam, and Leng Rongyue all laughed when they heard it.
Now that all the annoying people inside and outside have left, there is no need to be so shy.
Everyone stood up and walked out of the inner hall and came to the main hall.
Both sides just sneered when they talked about Prince Yi in the outer hall and Princess Yi in the inner hall, who looked speechless.
After sitting for a while, the Anguo family said goodbye.
The women did not change back into their formal attire, but only wore a cloak over their casual clothes.
Leng Rongyue took the veil from Qingyi and put it on her head, covering her beautiful face.
When Emperor Hongde and Empress Luan Xiying saw each other, they looked at each other and thought, where is Prince Yi, who had left the palace long ago, now?
Did he really accompany Princess Yi back to her parents' home?
Or... are you still lingering at the gate of the palace?
At this time, a voice came from the air: "Your Majesty, Prince Yi and Princess Yi have boarded the carriage, but the carriage has not moved!"
As expected.
Everyone in the Anguo Mansion bid farewell to Emperor Hongde and Empress Luan Xiying and left the palace. Xiao Jingyu naturally saw them off all the way.
In the carriage outside the palace gate, Zhang Miaoying saw Xiao Jingyi who had left the palace early.
Zhang Miaoying carefully looked at Xiao Jingyi sitting in the carriage...
It was obvious that Xiao Jingyi had a gloomy face, but... Zhang Miaoying didn't notice his sickly look.
Zhang Miaoying had no choice but to ask, "Your Majesty, I heard that you were not feeling well. What exactly is wrong with you?
Why didn't you ask the imperial physician to see you when you were in the palace just now? Instead, you rushed out of the palace?"
These were originally words from a wife expressing her concern for her husband, but at this moment, such caring words were worthless to Xiao Jingyi except for causing him trouble!
Xiao Jingyi did not respond, but just raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at Zhang Miaoying.
There was boredom and disgust in his eyes, but no emotion.
Zhang Miaoying forced herself to ignore the coldness in Xiao Jingyi's eyes, looked at Xiao Jingyi, and said patiently: "Your Highness, if you don't need the imperial physician to see you, why don't you just go back to the mansion?
Back at the palace, the prince can have a good rest!"
Xiao Jingyi still didn't respond, and this time he didn't even lift an eyelid.
Zhang Miaoying suppressed her anger and grievances, turned her head and directed her to the outside of the carriage, "The prince is feeling unwell, please return home!"
But before he could hear the response from the coachman and guards outside the carriage, Xiao Jingyi slowly spoke from inside the carriage: "Since when have you been the one to make the decisions regarding my affairs?"
“You…what on earth are you…?”
"Shut up!"
Xiao Jingyi shouted loudly, and Zhang Miaoying was so frightened that she shuddered!
"You sit still for me, or get off the carriage and go back to your Zhang family!"
