”The Sovereign's Heart is like my heart.” ”Huo Xiang placed the jade pendant in front of the princess with both hands, and saw five words carved into it – 'Sovereign's Heart'.”
”The Sovereign's Heart is like my heart? This was obviously carved by you yourself. ” Princess An Guo's eyebrows creased as she coldly asked, ”What, you've taken a fancy to one of my imperial nephew, so you intend to give him as a token of your affection?”
Instantly, the hearts of the princes trembled three times.
The others were also shocked as they whispered to each other. The Third Miss of the Prime Minister's Estate was actually so shameless, so disrespectful, and even took the initiative to give something to a man.
”Your subject's daughter, your subject's daughter …” ”No, that's not it. It's not for anyone. It's for this subject's own daughter, this subject's own …” Even Shiya wanted to defend herself, but it was useless for her to say anything now.
[The Sovereign's Heart is like my heart; it's clearly thinking about a certain man.]
She had already become the target of the crowd because she offended the princess of An Kingdom. Now that people saw that she was giving away a token of love, her reputation was ruined. In the future, who would dare to marry such a person?
At the same time, some people guessed which prince Lian Shiya's jade pendant was going to gift to. Lian Xiyue knew that the An Princess wouldn't force Lian Shiya, because at this moment, no matter which prince Lian Shiya's favorite person was, it would be a bad thing for that prince.
Even her mother was trembling in anger. She never thought that her granddaughter would have such an indiscreet side to her. She had come here to ruin the prime minister's reputation. She truly regretted bringing this trouble essence to this chrysanthemum viewing feast.
”Ding.” Princess An threw the jade pendant back onto Lian Shiya's body and coldly said, ”Chase him out!”
”Yes.” Thus, under the gazes of the crowd, Lian Shiya was brought away from the banquet.
Before she left, her gaze inadvertently met Lian Ruyue's gaze. Lian Ruyue's expression was calm, but the corner of her eyes flashed with a cold smile. This mocking tone was not seen by others, but even Lian Shiya saw it!
She looked at Lian Liuyue, and then at the parrot lying dead on the ground. Her heart trembled.
The amorous feast finally turned into a panic. Princess An Guo wanted to apply some ointment on her face, so she stood up and left, leaving everyone to do as they pleased.
In the sleeping hall, Princess An Guo looked at her face in the mirror. Behind her, there were servants kneeling on the ground. She smeared the cool paste on her wounds bit by bit and said, ”The imperial physician said that as long as you apply medicine on time every day and pay more attention to how light your food is, you'll be able to recover in a few days.”
An Guo's face remained expressionless as she asked, ”Where's Prince Consort?”
He Xiang's hand stopped, and her face revealed a troubled expression. She turned around and said to the servants on the ground, ”All of you, get down.”
”Yes.”
After all the servants had left, only then did Lotus say:
”Prince Consort, he …” It was as if he … ”He went to his greenhouse to paint.” The princess was injured by the parrot, but the prince's consort, Xue Renfu, never showed his face. This further confirmed the rumor that the princess and the prince were very close.
A self-deprecating smile flashed in An Guo's eyes as he said coldly, ”He won't frown even if I'm about to die today. Nan Li has already been dead for so many years, but he still can't forget. If it was Nan Li today, even if it was just an injury, he would still die from heartache.”
”Princess, perhaps Prince Consort only …”
”She's avenging South Li! Even the emperor respects me so much, but he …” Ah, ”her eyes revealed a trace of coldness, but her face didn't show any expression. She said lightly,” He still hid a portrait of Nan Li in the sixth secret compartment of the study.
”Yes.” He Xiang replied.
”Tell the guards to dig up Zhang Xuan's kneecaps and throw him out so that he can beg for a living.” An Guo coldly ordered again. Whoever dared to play tricks in front of her, there was only one ending, and that was — death!
After causing such a disaster to Shi Ya, even her mother did not have the mood to stay. Thus, she ordered someone to pass the message to the princess before leaving with the first wife, leaving behind a carriage for Lian Ruyue and Lian Fu.
The two siblings walked side by side among the chrysanthemums, the warm sunlight shining on them.
”Tonight is really a way to get rid of my hatred.” ”Last time, they wanted to set fire to their sister, but today, they have been taught a lesson. In the future, who would dare to approach Lian Shiya? She will definitely not think that her parrot is no longer the same one.”
”She didn't really like the parrot, she just wanted to please the princess.” She didn't really like the parrot, she just wanted to please the princess. She knew Lian Shiya too well. She wanted to curry favor with An Guo and was eager to achieve success, so how could she tell that the parrot she brought with her today was no longer a pure macaw?
He said, ”I sold her real macaw to the bird market for two hundred silver taels, and gave it to the refugees from Jiangnan. At least I helped her do a good deed, and when we go to hell in the future, perhaps King Yan would be able to pick a good path for her.”
