”After Xiang Er saw the eldest royal prince get injured, she decided to stay behind at the Yi Guan* to wait for him. From serving tea to getting water, she didn't let other people to do it for him. Ai Fai knows about this matter. Royal mother if you don't believe you can ask Ai Fei.”
* = horse station -> similar to a truck rest area but people can stay there
Once these words came out, Zhang Suns.h.i.+ turned her faze towards Xia Yuqing: ”Qing Er, is this true?”
Xia Yuqing froze. Under the gaze of both Feng Tingye and Zhang Suns.h.i.+, she forcible spat out: ”That is indeed true.”
Xiang Er did indeed wait upon the eldest royal prince. But it was clearly Your Majesty who personally ordered her to do it! Why does it sound like Xiang Er was taking this opportunity to capture a boyfriend. Seizing that opportunity to attend to his needs as if she wanted to be lovey dovey with him everyday. Furthermore, Your Majesty, what was with that corny beginning that made it seem like we were brought together by fate? The eldest royal prince and Xiang Er were clearly exchanging blows and do not want to be friends! Focusing on some parts and forgetting the rest to make it sound ambiguous, you could easily twist everything and make people misunderstand!
Zhang Suns.h.i.+ did not notice Xia Yuqing's problem. Receiving the confirmation, Zhang Suns.h.i.+'s face became a lot more alleviated and muttered: ”Ai Jia was wondering why Xiang Er wasn't running to Ai Jia's residence. So this was the case! When a girl is of age, she must be married off. Xiang Er, Ya Tou has been pampered and spoiled since she was a child, her temperament was always haughty and proud. Now unexpectedly, she is willing to lower her pride to help serve that eldest royal prince. It seems that she must have some feelings towards him.”
Feng Tingye smiled. Adding to the fire: ”Royal mother, Er Chen won't have misinterpreted this. You probably don't know this but two days ago Xiang Er came to the palace and came to stay with Ai Fei for a bit. Originally planning on to visit you afterwards, who knew she would suddenly twist her ankle when she was leaving. Learning about this, the eldest prince without saying anything just carried Xiang Er back.”
”Carried…. Carried back?” Zhang Suns.h.i.+'s eyes were like two round circles, her face utterly surprised: ”Carried Xiang Er out of the palace?”
”Yes, the entire journey from Xie Fang palace to outside the palace. That day, all the palace maids and people in the palace were witnesses. On the road, quite a few people stopped to watch. Yet the eldest royal prince continued to carry Xiang Er. Those two were talking and laughing, they didn't mind the glances on them a tiny bit.”
Imagining the scene at that time, Zhang Suns.h.i.+ seemed to reminisce for a moment: ”Sigh, the younger people these days. They really don't know how to avoid exposing themselves. Just like that, they are so open without fear and they don't feel embarra.s.sed at all. Completely different from Ai Jia and Tingye's dad, that devil. In public, we would always try to secretly hold hands until our cheeks blushed red the entire day….”
”…..” Seeing Zhang Suns.h.i.+ act coy, obviously immersed in her happy recollection, she couldn't help being somewhat frustrated. Empress Dowager, empress dowager, you are the final boss that's even higher level than the Ultra Seme Lord. How could you just change sides before the battle? You need to hold it together!
It's a pity that Xia Yuqing and Zhang Suns.h.i.+ do not have telepathy with each other. After soaking in that pleasant memory she lightly coughed: ”It seems like the eldest royal prince is just like what Qing Er said…. How do you say it again?”
”…….. outwardly cold but pa.s.sionate inside.” Xia Yuqing answered dispiritedly.
”Right, outwardly cold but pa.s.sionate inside! He has a cold collected appearance, but who would have thought he would have so much love within. Since this is the case that they both have an affinity towards each other and not what Ai Jia originally thought, then Ai Jia will not question it anymore. As long as Xiang Er is happy then it's fine.”
”……” Royal mother, are you just going to surrender like that, that's irrational!
