Chapter 900: 900 Turns Against You in an Instant
Moreover, putting aside Sikong Mo’s age, he truly is a suitable match.
But none of this is most important; the most important thing is that Jiujiu likes him.
And judging by the situation, it seems she will marry no one but Sikong Mo.
Although Prince Jing is outwardly more opposed than anyone, in his heart, he naturally wishes for Ye Jiu to find happiness.
"Foolish!" the old Emperor reprimanded, "Rather than let the Sikong Royal Residence grow powerful, I would rather leave the Wang Family intact!"
"Father..."
Prince Jing tried to continue persuading, but the old Emperor interrupted, "Enough, just follow my arrangements on this matter. My fourth son, remember, now that you have become enemies with the Crown Prince, if you do not wish for the Jing Royal Residence to be doomed by the Crown Prince, you must do as I ask."
"Since no matter what I say, Father won’t listen, then there’s no need to speak further!" Prince Jing, never known for his good temper, could turn hostile in an instant.
"You..." Watching Prince Jing storm off, the old Emperor was almost infuriated.
After calming down, he sighed, "Still too young, hasn’t experienced the weight of major issues, thus easily swayed by emotions. Still lacks some refinement!"
Why does the Emperor refer to himself as the widow? Because only a loner can secure this supreme position.
Following this, the old Emperor summoned the Crown Prince.
Prince Jing returned to the Royal Residence, and Ye Jiu wasn’t there. On New Year’s Eve, she had to reunite in the Imperial Palace, but on the first day of the New Year, she was free to return to the Ye Family.
As Prince Jing entered the rear courtyard, he saw the Princess Consort walking out, "Where are you going?"
Seeing Prince Jing’s stern expression, the Princess Consort paused before answering, "Concubine Bai asked me over to give them a hand with something."
Speaking, the Princess Consort suddenly smiled with relief, "Jiujiu is clever, she came up with this to pass the time for them."
Nowadays, there are fewer people in the Royal Residence, leaving only the few in harmony without any turmoil. It’s truly nice.
Prince Jing grabbed the Princess Consort’s arm and said to the maid behind her, "Go tell Concubine Bai that the Princess Consort is not going."
"Yes."
Watching the maid leave, the Princess Consort asked Prince Jing in bewilderment, "Why must the Prince act this way?"
"Foolish woman!" Prince Jing sneered coldly.
Still thinking about playing mahjong with others, does she realize that if not for him, the decree to depose the Princess Consort might already have arrived?
Having been scolded for no reason, the Princess Consort felt immensely aggrieved, "I know I am foolish, but I sincerely reflected during this period and have never caused trouble. I don’t know how I offended the Prince again?"
"Where you’ve offended me, I’ll teach you today."
Prince Jing, in a foul mood and in dire need of venting, picked her up and carried her back to the room.
Under the ivory bed, two pairs of shoes lay; on the ivory bed, accompanied by a peculiar rhythm, squeaking sounds resounded...
At dinner, neither Prince Jing nor the Princess Consort appeared at the dining table of the Royal Residence.
...
Laifu rushed back in a hurry from outside, "Prince, Commandery Princess, help..."
At that time, Prince Jing was still resting in bed and after being informed by the servants, he hurriedly climbed out of the covers.
The Princess Consort, however, was too exhausted to get up.
When Ye Jiu arrived, she heard Laifu saying, "The eldest young master was beaten at Wanlai Gambling House, Prince, please quickly go rescue the eldest young master..."
Laifu’s face was bruised and battered, evidently he had been beaten before returning.
