She said one thing and he kept talking!
Wan Ruo gnashed her teeth in anger, and after a long while she managed to utter a dry sentence: "I'm not jealous!"
He snorted lightly: "Forget it, just pretend you don't have it."
He spoke in a magnanimous tone, then turned and went to the bathroom with a slight smile on his lips.
Wanruo's throat was blocked by a breath, unable to breathe up or down. She stared at his back as he left in a leisurely manner, feeling extremely angry.

Three days later, the emperor's birthday arrived.
The emperor was already ill, but he still held a grand birthday banquet, just to shock the court and appease the people.
Wanruo was called up early in the morning to dress up. Now that she had been awarded the second-rank imperial decree, her status was more honorable, and her clothes were more exquisite.
After everything was ready, she went to the palace with Xie Xianyu.
"Today's palace banquet is grand. Not only are all the dignitaries of the court here, but also envoys from vassal states and princes from various regions. I'm afraid there will be a lot of socializing and interactions. If you can't be bothered, just follow mother and act like a good boy."
Xie Xianyu warned her.
"knew."
"Don't eat anything at the banquet, just in case. The political situation is unstable now, and I'm afraid someone will be so bold as to tamper with it."
"Um."
"If anything happens and you can't find me, go find Eunuch Wang."
"oh."
"Don't drink alcohol, and don't drink cold drinks. The imperial physician said you have a cold ailment, but you just like to eat cold food. When will you be able to take care of yourself..."
Wan Ruo frowned: "Why are you so long-winded?"
Xie Xianyu was so stunned by her that his face turned black. She was so angry, and she even dared to call him a nag?!
Just when he was about to deal with her, he remembered that they were almost at the palace and that important matters needed to be attended to.
Besides, she was probably still angry about the discussion between him and Zhu Jia three days ago.
Because she hadn't given him a cold look in the past three days.
Thinking of this, the anger he had just felt at her suddenly dissipated.
In the end, it was because she cared about him, so three days of anger over a small matter was not enough. Why should he bother with her?
The carriage stopped and Qing'an called out, "Master, Madam, we're here."
Xie Xianyu's expression was gentle: "We're here, let's go to the palace."
There was a flash of surprise in Wanruo's eyes, and she looked at him strangely. Her expression, which had been gloomy just now, suddenly became bright.
What's wrong with him? He's been getting more and more irritable these days.
She snorted, lifted her skirt and got out of the carriage.
Su Yan had already arrived at the palace. When he saw them coming, he came to greet them: "You are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"What happened?"
"It's not the Prince of Zhennan yet. Hey, the Crown Prince is still waiting. Let's talk to the inner palace."
Xie Xianyu turned around and looked at Wanruo: "Then you can go with mother first. I'll be back after I finish my business."
"Yeah." Wanruo turned around and was about to leave.
He grabbed her wrist again and warned her, "Don't run around."
Ever since something happened in her palace, he has been feeling uneasy. Even though he now has almost complete control over the imperial court and the empress is imprisoned in Fengyi Palace and cannot leave, he still cannot feel at ease.
She was badly injured that time and nearly lost her life. He will be haunted by this for the rest of his life.
"I understand." Wanruo was a little impatient. He had said it countless times!
When has she ever run around? She's not a three-year-old child.
He frowned, but said nothing in the end. He watched her walk to the eldest lady and then looked away.
