Chapter 2618: Chapter 2618: To Be Discussed Later (Part 4)
Qi Jingyun’s expressionless words made the entire hall instantly quiet again.
For a young girl, these words could not be considered anything but cruel.
However, no one thought his highness, Prince Yun, was being excessive. After all, a marriage alliance indicates friendship between two countries. You, Jin Country, came to show goodwill yet sent someone with questionable character. This really is a matter of sincerity, and honestly, this issue can be big or small.
"You are too much." Wanyan Ningshuang couldn’t bear it and ran out crying.
However, Yang Ruxin felt that Wanyan Ningshuang had brought this upon herself. She was so arrogant and domineering even before getting married; did she really think everyone was eager for her?
"What does the Crown Prince think?" Emperor Xuanjing looked at Crown Prince Qi Jingchen.
Qi Jingchen quickly stood and bowed: "Father Emperor, I think Third Royal Brother is absolutely right. Our Princess Fangfei excels in every aspect of character, knowledge, and vision, but in contrast, Princess Ningshuang falls short. It appears the Jin King is reluctant to marry his outstanding daughter over here. If that’s the case, there’s no need for us to send Fangfei over there either."
Wanyan Liang’s expression changed.
"Let’s discuss this later." Emperor Xuanjing, as if ignoring the unpleasant expressions of the Jin Country’s Crown Prince and envoys, waved his hand directly, "Now drink up, everyone should drink more. These are medicinal wines brewed by Madam Ruyi, good for treating illnesses and strengthening the body even if you’re healthy."
The ministers all raised their glasses, drinking merrily and noisily.
After several rounds of drinks, Emperor Xuanjing expressed fatigue, allowing everyone to relax, then left. The ministers followed suit, engaging in conversation with acquaintances, and some began to leave.
Yang Ruxin worried about her child, so she stood as soon as the Emperor left, but Gu Qingheng could not leave as he was responsible for security here.
Not long after leaving the hall, Yang Ruxin was stopped by Wanyan Liang.
"Is there something the Crown Prince wants?" Yang Ruxin raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Madam, my sister indeed acted recklessly. I apologize to you on her behalf." Wanyan Liang clasped his fists and bowed to Yang Ruxin, "Please forgive her, Madam."
"The Crown Prince’s words are strange." Yang Ruxin laughed, "That matter is already past. I forgave her long ago, so there’s no need for the Crown Prince to do this."
"But..."
"However, her actions were witnessed by others, and that wasn’t something I incited or could prevent." Yang Ruxin shrugged, "Instead of finding trouble with me, you’d better consider how to make amends." For instance, quickly send another princess over.
Watching Yang Ruxin’s departing figure, a hint of gloom crossed Wanyan Liang’s eyes.
"Big sister, won’t Crown Prince Wanyan cause trouble?" Erni was full of worry.
"Let him do as he pleases; if he’s capable, then bring it on." Yang Ruxin was indifferent; she didn’t want to think about anything except quickly going to see her three little beans. It wasn’t just concern but also that her breast was engorged. Despite having padded her chest with absorbent pads, it felt uncomfortable, and if it took any longer, her clothes might become soaked.
Seeing Yang Ruxin’s indifference, Erni stopped worrying.
"Yang Ruxin." After a short walk, someone else came running after her.
Yang Ruxin stopped irritably: "What’s the matter?" Her tone wasn’t good, and her expression wasn’t either.
Princess Ahyang was startled, involuntarily taking two steps back: "I have something to say to you."
"Then say it quickly." Yang Ruxin felt her patience wearing thin.
