Chapter 155 Who cares if he's hungry or not
Shangguan Xi blinked, a little confused.
But before she could come to her senses, she saw King Yong turning his head to look at her.
His eyes were softer and more affectionate than ever.
Shangguan Xi's heart softened instantly, but the next moment, he heard——
"Xi'er, I met a woman on my way back from patrol."
"She was being chased by bandits at the time, and I saved her. I then discovered that she was the daughter of an old friend, so I brought her back with me this time."
"Yunniang has no relatives in the capital, so I thought of bringing her to live temporarily in the mansion. Xi'er, you are so gentle and considerate, I'm sure you will agree."
Shangguan Sui listened at the side and curled his lips speechlessly.
[You are such a jerk! You put a big hat on my aunt and say that if she disagrees, she is not gentle and considerate? Don’t you see how disgusting what you did is! ]
[You are so affectionate when calling her Yunniang! And she is the daughter of an old friend. You are really good at making up lies! ]
[It's obvious that you wanted to take Yunniang as your concubine because she's so pretty! You're such a jerk! I really want to slap you in the face!]
When Shangguan Xi heard the words "take a concubine" in his mind, his face turned pale instantly.
She raised her eyes and looked at Prince Yong in a daze, her lips trembling slightly.
"My Lord, have you forgotten what you promised me?"
Upon hearing this, the smile on Prince Yong's face instantly froze.
Did Shangguan Xi realize that he wanted to take Yunniang as his concubine?
Isn't she always the easiest to fool...
Why are you so alert today...
But King Yong reacted quickly.
He coaxed me softly, "How could I forget this? When we first met in the palace of the Great Xia Kingdom, I promised you that I would only love you in this life."
"Mrs. Zhang was just an accident. If it wasn't for my father's appointment, I would never have taken her as a concubine."
As he spoke, Prince Yong placed Shangguan Xi's hand on his chest and looked at her affectionately.
"You are the only one in my heart."
When Shangguan Sui heard this, he rolled his eyes in disgust.
[yue~ I almost vomited after listening to this…]
[What kind of affectionate person is this scumbag pretending to be? Isn't he a scumbag? 】
Shangguan Xi also sneered, withdrew his hand without leaving a trace, and said in a calm voice.
"It's amazing that the prince still remembers such a small matter. In that case, send Yunniang to live in the guesthouse. Prince Yong's mansion has been busy lately, and I'm afraid I can't take good care of her."
"But since she is the daughter of an old friend of the prince, I will help her find a marriage partner after a while, and I will definitely find her a good family."
Upon hearing this, Prince Yong's face instantly darkened.
Shangguan Sui breathed a sigh of relief.
[Ah, that's great, my aunt finally reacted...]
[In the original book, my aunt was very sad about the death of her eldest cousin at that time and had no energy to care about this matter, so she let Yunniang enter the mansion.]
[I didn't expect this would actually lead to a wolf in the house. Not long after Yunniang entered the mansion, she became pregnant and used the child to force my aunt to accept her.]
[Later, my aunt also died at the hands of Yunniang...]
Shangguan Xi's breathing slowed down when he heard this.
She, she almost died at the hands of that woman...
Shangguan Xi couldn't help but clench the silk thread in her hand.
Fortunately, fortunately there is Sui Sui...
After hearing this, King Yong frowned and felt very dissatisfied.
This Yunniang suited his taste in every way. It was the first time that he had such a good relationship with a woman.
If he gave up Yunniang, he might never meet such a good woman in his life.
Prince Yong wanted to make a few remarks in rebuttal, but when he thought of the increasingly powerful national power of Dayue, he could only purse his lips.
"Since you have made up your mind, Madam, I won't force you."
He turned around and told the attendants beside him, "Go and take Yunniang to Fenglin Tower and take good care of her."
Shangguan Xi sneered when he heard this.
The inn they found was the largest one in the capital. Prince Yong really cares about people.
Shangguan Sui pursed his lips at the side.
[Don't think I don't know, you and Yunniang have been together for a long time, just pretend now! ]
[Disgusting! You are so disgusting! I really hope that my aunt can see the true face of this scumbag soon! ]
When Shangguan Xi heard the inner voice, her heart couldn't help but feel cold.
Calm, calm, calm...
Shangguan Xi repeated these words in his mind over and over again.
We have things to do today, and we need to resolve the Zhang issue as soon as possible.
The most important thing now is to get Qi'er home safely!
Prince Yong turned his head and caught a glimpse of Shangguan Xi's expression.
Seeing that she still didn't look very happy, I couldn't help but feel a little confused.
What happened today?
Didn't he do everything as he was told? He didn't bring Yunniang home, so he didn't know what she was angry about.
But now is the critical moment in the fight for the throne, and he must keep Shangguanxi as a bargaining chip firmly in his hands.
The Great Yue Kingdom was an important aid in his ascension to the throne!
Thinking of this, the smile on King Yong's face became a little gentler.
He stepped forward and gently coaxed Shangguan Xi, "Madam, these are just trivial matters, not worth taking to heart. Let's go and see our Yan'er as soon as possible."
[Oh, you are really good at talking. Every word you say hits the nail on the head for aunt.]
Shangguan Xi's face turned even colder when he heard this.
There was no warmth in his voice as he said, "Yes, we should go see him."
Having said that, Shangguan Xi turned around and took Shangguan Sui straight into the mansion.
Prince Yong followed with some confusion.
A few people walked to the main house in the main courtyard, where a sumptuous meal was placed on the table.
Shangguan Xi was originally worried that Prince Yong was hungry, and wanted to wait until Prince Yong finished his meal before talking about Zhang's matter.
But now she didn't care whether he was hungry or not.
It would be best if I could starve to death.
As soon as they sat down at the table, Shangguan Xi winked at the maid.
The maid went out immediately, and after a while, Jiang Shi came.
Jiang Shi bowed slightly and said, "Greetings to father."
Prince Yong was just about to start eating when he saw Jiang Shi coming. He put down his chopsticks and looked up at him.
There was a look of kindness between his brows. "It's been two months since we last met. It seems that Shi'er has grown quite a bit taller."
Shangguan Sui curled his lips aside.
[You are already an adult, but you are still growing taller? 】
[You are such a perfunctory father. ]
After a while, Zhang also came with Jiang Yan.
"Greetings to the prince."
"Greetings to father."
The two of them greeted each other.
Shangguan Sui turned around upon hearing the voice and glanced at the two of them.
[Oh, mother and son are here together, they greet each other in a tacit understanding! ]
[Fortunately, Auntie now knows the truth. Otherwise, she would have thought Jiang Yan was her son and would have felt so bad seeing this scene...]
When Shangguan Xi heard this, she couldn't help but tighten her hand holding the handkerchief.
She had seen this kind of scene before.
But before, she felt sad for a long time, thinking that Yan'er was so close to Zhang because she had not been a good mother.
Looking back now, she was so stupid!
King Yong looked at the two of them and asked casually, "Why are you here so late?"
Zhang smiled faintly and said, "Yan'er was injured and now has difficulty walking, which is why I am late."
Upon hearing this, Prince Yong's brows immediately furrowed, "Yan'er is injured? What happened?"
Zhang glanced at Shangguan Xi casually, and said timidly, "This... this is all Madam's idea."
"It was Madam who insisted on punishing Yan'er, and I had no other choice..."
