Chapter 870: Chapter 870: Do Not Offend the 870
Their voices were not quiet, and naturally, King Jing could hear them.
Each of them was provoking him, but King Jing ignored everyone, quietly waiting to leave.
Next door, the Crown Princess Consort finally waited for the maid to return with her clothes, and quickly put them on.
As for the Crown Prince, he was still stark naked, angrily shouting, "Where are my clothes?"
The maid trembled, "Your Highness, this back mountain is filled with women, it’s impossible to find men’s clothes."
The clothes the Crown Princess Consort was wearing were new and unworn, ones she made herself.
Although the fabric was somewhat inferior, the Crown Princess Consort had no mind to fuss over it at the moment. Looking around the room, the only thing left to cover herself with was a curtain that hadn’t been torn down. Despite its poor quality, it could still serve its purpose.
"Useless, hurry up and send someone down the mountain to buy some clothes!" The Crown Prince raged.
After all, the Crown Princess Consort was punished for a mistake, so he feared drawing attention by going there once every ten days or so. Hence, he only brought a servant with him, who stayed at the foot of the mountain.
At this moment, he felt truly at a loss.
He better not find out which rascal knocked him out and wickedly stole his clothes, or else he’d certainly have the person chopped into pieces to quell his anger.
The Crown Princess Consort suddenly recalled and asked the maid, "Right, I think I heard King Jing’s voice just now?"
"Your Highness, King Jing came with Princess Changfu to take the Princess Consort back to the manor."
"What?" The Crown Princess Consort was suddenly overjoyed, "So the Princess Consort has returned?"
"She has left, just left with King Jing."
"Your Highness..." The Crown Princess Consort quickly looked at the Crown Prince, her voice feigned a kind of fragile softness, giving the Crown Prince goosebumps.
But now, they couldn’t afford to offend the Wang Family, so the Crown Princess Consort couldn’t be abandoned either.
"Fine, first find me some clothes. As for bringing you back, I will ask Father and Mother to decree once I return." The Crown Prince said impatiently.
The Crown Princess Consort felt discontent, seeing how King Jing directly took the Princess Consort back, yet for her, it required the Crown Prince’s parents’ approval!
However, the Crown Prince was obviously still angry, so she dared not say more.
During this time, the Crown Prince was clearly more impatient with her, and she knew in her heart that, at her age, she no longer had the freshness of the little enchantresses in the house, hence could not keep the Crown Prince’s heart.
Thus, at such times, she could not afford to offend him.
After all, she was still counting on the Crown Prince to bring her back to the manor.
The Princess Consort was very weak and had to be carried down the carriage by King Jing.
In front of Ye Jiu and Qin Zhou, the Princess Consort blushed.
In contrast, King Jing, with a thick-skinned demeanor, not only didn’t blush but also looked proud.
The Princess Consort’s return to the manor naturally caused a stir, and Lady Bai and her party were completely flustered.
At Ye Jiu’s place, they were already blocked in, leaving no room.
"Commandery Princess, it’s really not right what you’ve done. You said you were bringing the Princess Consort back, and you brought her back without notifying us." Lady Bai’s aggrieved expression gave Ye Jiu a headache.
Ye Jiu was helpless, "It wasn’t me who carried her back. If you have complaints, go find my father."
Lady Bai then wilted, "How dare we!"
Ever since the Princess Consort went to pray for blessings, King Jing had become an untouchable presence because they had to be on guard against him at all times, for fear of being dismissed on some pretext.
Ye Jiu pursed her lips, "You can’t find him, so you come to give me a hard time, huh?"
Her answer was met with silly smiles from a few of them, "We just want to ask, now that the Princess Consort is back, what about our monthly allowance..."
