Feng Mo was taken aback by what she said.
After Rong Yiyi finished speaking, she raised her head, glanced helplessly at Feng Mo, and then said, "My sister liked you so much back then, and did everything for you. I never expected that she would turn around and get together with the Emperor. Sometimes, I really can't understand what she's thinking. To like someone and then break off so cleanly and completely, it seems my sister is an extremely rational person. Most people really can't learn that. Unlike me, I've always been devoted to him..." As she spoke, she looked at him with affection in her eyes.
Feng Mo pursed his lips. It wasn't that he didn't sense her affection, but he simply didn't know how to respond.
He knew that Rong Yiyi wasn't as gentle and kind as she appeared, but he still remembered her kindness in following him to Xuzhou.
After a long pause, he said in a low voice, "Let's go."
Rong Yiyi didn't seem to care much when she saw this.
With Rong Qingqing's "heartlessness" as a precedent, her deep affection only serves to highlight it. Feng Mo is not blind; he can naturally see who is truly good to him, and his heart will eventually beat only for her.
Rong Yiyi thought confidently, looking at the handsome man beside her, and suddenly reached out and took his arm.
Feng Mo's body stiffened.
Rong Yiyi stuck out her tongue at him and smiled mischievously, "I know Your Highness doesn't like this, but the Emperor treats the Empress that way, so I also want others to know that Your Highness actually dotes on me very much."
Feng Mo tried to push her hand away, but suddenly let go.
Rong Yiyi's lips curled up slightly, her eyes revealing a triumphant look.
When they were almost at Shouning Palace, without Rong Qingqing saying anything, Xie Jingrun put her down on his own and took her hand instead.
Upon reaching the gates of Shouning Palace, Xie Jingrun released his hand, and the two walked in side by side.
Emperor Zhaojing had already drunk several cups of tea, but he was neither in a hurry nor displeased.
We've all been there, so we can understand and sympathize with someone who stayed up late on their first day of marriage.
Seeing his son and daughter-in-law enter, Emperor Zhaojing's face was beaming with joy as he looked at the two of them with a smile.
In contrast to Emperor Zhaojing's joy, the Empress Dowager sitting to the side had a long face and her displeased gaze fell on Rong Qingqing.
Before the two even got close, she said, "The Empress has quite the air about her, making me and the Emperor Emeritus wait for half a day."
Upon hearing this, the Emperor Emeritus frowned slightly and tried to smooth things over, saying, "Please forgive the Empress Dowager. The Empress is new here and it's her first day of marriage, so it's understandable that she got up late."
When the Empress Dowager heard him defend Rong Qingqing, her expression darkened even more, but she said nothing more.
Rong Qingqing glanced at her, her brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.
How could she not notice the Empress Dowager's blatant provocation? But she didn't show it and followed Xie Jingrun over.
Xie Jingrun's eyes flashed with displeasure, but out of respect for Emperor Zhaojing, he said nothing.
He suddenly took Rong Qingqing's hand and stepped forward without allowing her to refuse.
Seeing this, Emperor Zhaojing's lips twitched. This kid really has guts!
Knowing that his grandmother disliked Rong Qingqing, he deliberately and openly held Rong Qingqing's hand in front of her. Although he didn't say anything, his intention to protect her was obvious.
When the Empress Dowager saw this, her face darkened.
Is the emperor openly challenging her?
