Chapter 39 Shabby

It was only the beginning of March, and there was still one month before the wedding. Yan Li did not plan to attend those messy banquets anymore. She wanted to concentrate on practicing martial arts, exercising, and preparing some self-defense herbs.

For several days, she stayed in Liuli Courtyard without leaving the house.

In addition to the few imperial guards assigned to her by the emperor, the Ninth Prince Mu Cang had also sternly warned the Jiang family not to be rude to her again, so Yanli's ears were much quieter these days. Tianlai Novel Network

On March 12, Jiang Jingyue returned home from the palace.

As soon as the news came out, the Jiang family immediately became very busy. Luo was so happy that he could hardly open his mouth from ear to ear. The old lady quickly ordered the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal and entertain the prince and princess warmly.

The sedan chair from the palace had not yet arrived. From the oldest to the youngest, the Jiang family dressed up neatly and went out to greet the prince and his wife. They stood outside the gate for nearly an hour before they saw the carriage approaching from far away.

"It's finally here." Luo Shi breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, "I've been worried to death for the past two days. I must give Jingyue a good supplement this time when I come back."

"What are you talking about?" Taifu Jiang frowned and glanced at her displeasedly, "Have the Emperor and the Queen treated Jingyue badly?"

Even if you really treat her badly, you should express your gratitude respectfully instead of always keeping these complaints on your lips.

"I..." Luo Shi realized that what he said was inappropriate and quickly explained, "My daughter-in-law didn't mean that. Father, please calm down."

Mrs. Jiang had a cold face. Thinking of everything that had happened in the past few days, she became more and more convinced that a good daughter-in-law would prosper for three generations.

Luo Shi is really an unworthy woman, ignorant of the general situation, without any sense of the overall situation, narrow-minded and selfish.

If it hadn't been for her, Yan Li's matter wouldn't have been such a big deal at all, and the emperor wouldn't be disappointed with the Jiang family because of it.

Even after Yan Li was named a princess, she still did not change her bad habit of gossiping and being jealous, and treated Yan Li as an enemy - it was not that she talked nonsense in front of several children and sow discord between Jing Yue and Yan Li, Ting Shi He Tingyan would not be so prejudiced against Yan Li, and this time neither one of them would be beaten and the other would have his career ruined.

"Don't talk when you shouldn't talk in the future." Jiang Yunming frowned and looked at Luo Shi, "Don't you know if you talk too much, you will be wrong? Jingyue is the Crown Princess now. No matter how she is in the palace, it is the Emperor's grace. There are some things you can say. It sounds like nothing, but to other people’s ears, it means something completely different——”

"I know." Luo Shi interrupted him in a low voice, his face already a little worried, "Jingyue has already arrived home, it's important to welcome her daughter."

In front of so many people, can't you save some face for her?

Jiang Yunming then stopped talking.

Everyone in the Jiang family focused their attention on the approaching carriage. The more they looked at it, the more they felt that the formation was too small. Luo Shi was suspicious: "The prince and the princess are out of the palace, only a few people?"

Jiang Yunming also murmured in his heart that compared to the last time Yan Li came back, the battle was indeed much smaller. There was neither a palace maid to accompany him nor a royal guard to escort him, so he just followed a few maids shabbily.

What does this mean? Isn't the queen worried that the prince will be assassinated outside the palace?

When they got closer, Jiang Jingyue stepped down from the carriage with the help of the maid, and Luo Shi hurriedly greeted her: "Jingyue, why did you come back? Let your mother see if you have lost weight..."

"Mother." Jiang Jingyue held her hand and coquettishly said, "My daughter eats and drinks well in the palace, and there are so many people taking care of her. How can she lose weight?"

Mrs. Jiang was still standing, ready to salute respectfully when the prince got off the car. However, Jiang Jingyue walked over and saluted her grandparents. They looked at her in surprise, "Jingyue, His Royal Highness the prince did not come back with you." ?”

Jiang Jingyue's heart felt like a needle pricking her heart, and then she smiled nonchalantly: "Aren't we officially married yet? The Queen said it would be best to stay apart for a few days, and His Royal Highness has been busy with government affairs recently and can't get away for a while. "

"That's right." Luo Shi nodded and quickly laughed, "It's good to be back anyway, your grandparents are waiting for you."

Taifu Jiang's expression dropped slightly, and he turned to look at the large family behind him. He originally thought that the prince and the princess would return to the house together in glory, so they dressed up and waited here early. Unexpectedly, only Jiang Jingyue came back. And it's so shabby.

It was completely different from the time Yan Li went home.

Taifu Jiang glanced at Jiang Jingyue again, just as Jiang Jingyue stepped forward to greet her: "My granddaughter has met her grandfather and grandmother, her father and mother, and her two brothers."

Mrs. Jiang grunted, turned around and walked out.

"Sister, you have lost weight." Jiang Tingyi stepped forward and looked at Jiang Jingyue with loving eyes, "I heard that you suffered a lot in the palace. My elder brother was so worried that he couldn't eat or sleep."

"Yes, I will let Third Brother take good care of you when you come back this time." Jiang Tingyan reached out and flicked Jiang Jingyue's forehead, and then said with a melancholy, "Now that my sister has become a noble in the palace, after the wedding, the brother and sister want to meet again. It’s not that easy to meet.”

"I also miss my mother and three brothers." Jiang Jingyue said with a cute look on her face, "Now that I see my family, I know what it feels like to be homesick."

After saying that, she turned around and looked like she was looking for something. She frowned and asked, "Why didn't you see your second brother?"

Luo Shi's face darkened: "Your second brother was injured and is still in bed."

"Injured?" Jiang Jingyue's face changed slightly, and her face was full of anxiety, "How can you be injured when you are fine?"

"It's a long story." Luo said bitterly, "It's all because of that little bitch Yan Li! Jingyue, you don't know how arrogant she has been these days. Your second brother was injured because of her. Liuliyuan is still guarded by several imperial guards assigned to her by the emperor... The imperial guards are obviously to protect the emperor, when did they protect a cousin? I really learned a lot-"

"Enough." The old lady frowned and stopped, "You just came back and you keep complaining. Can Jingyue go in and have some tea first?"

Luo's expression froze and she stopped talking awkwardly.

"Grandma, don't be angry." Jiang Jingyue quickly climbed onto the old lady's arm, "Granddaughter misses grandma so much. These days, I have been learning to manage the affairs of the East Palace in the palace. I don't even have time to go out of the palace to visit grandma. I hope grandma won't blame me."
