Jiang Zhili's heart moved, and he looked towards the side hall...
I saw a tall black figure standing on the steps.
The bright palace lanterns in the side hall reflected the man's profound face and his bright eyes.
Jiang Zhili only felt that Song Yi's gaze seemed to be filled with anger, and was directed at her.
Song Yi strode down the stairs. He was dressed in black brocade and stood opposite Jiang Zhili, looking noble and indifferent.
At this moment, he was no longer the dog left in the prime minister's mansion!
Jiang Zhili was dressed up today. Her face, which usually had no makeup on, was now covered with a light layer of makeup, and the glazed bun in her hair was shining with light.
She was so bright and beautiful that Song Yi's heart was moved.
"Miss..." His voice was slightly hoarse. He had never felt that the days had passed so long. As soon as he relaxed, he could not help but fall into longing. The scene in his dream would keep turning in his mind.
Now that I have seen the person, the longing in my heart seems to have found an outlet, and I can't wait to hug the person in front of me.
But, he didn't dare...
Jiang Zhili raised her head slightly, looked at Song Yi's face, and said softly, "Third Prince."
Song Yi's heart tightened: "In private, Miss, you can call me by my name. The jade pendant is my token of my love. I hope Miss will not be angry about my sudden departure."
If the prince had not taken sudden action, he would not have hurried back to the palace.
Jiang Zhili's eyes were red: "Leave if you want to, just remember my kindness."
Song Yi clenched his fists under his sleeves and promised, "Don't worry, Miss. I have already changed your clothes on the boat. Once I have finished my business, I will definitely carry you into the palace."
He has to be responsible for her.
Jiang Zhili's watery eyes lit up slightly and she nodded gently. She looked more obedient than ever before, which made Song Yi's heart soften.
*
When Eunuch Deng led Jiang Zhili to the main hall, all the court officials and their families were already in place.
Jiang Shan sat in his seat and looked around, obviously looking for Jiang Zhili.
"Daddy," Jiang Zhili walked to his side.
Seeing his precious daughter return safely, Jiang Shan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The palace is different from the outside. Running around everywhere might offend the royal family.
"Xiao Li, don't run around anymore!" Jiang Shan warned Jiang Zhili.
The eyes of the people around were all on Jiang Zhili, and they were obviously curious about what she had done and why Eunuch Deng was following her.
You know, this eunuch Deng is the servant of the third prince.
Jiang Zhili sat down next to Jiang Shan. She glanced at the curious crowd and said calmly, "I felt a little bored, so I asked Eunuch Deng to take me around."
Eunuch Deng bowed and nodded to the crowd, "This is Miss Jiang's first visit to the palace, so I took her on a casual tour."
As soon as these words came out, Li Huaner, who was sitting opposite, fell in anger again.
She was full of sourness.
Does Jiang Zhili think she can look at this magnificent palace whenever she wants? This is really unruly.
Although she thought so, she did not say it out loud. She had done too many wrong things tonight. If she made any more mistakes, her reputation as a virtuous and generous woman would be lost!
When everyone heard Jiang Zhili say this, they didn't say anything, but they were secretly plotting something.
Being able to be led around by someone close to the Third Prince must mean she is highly respected. It seems Li Huan'er has a rival for the position of Imperial Concubine...
At this moment, the shrill voice of the young eunuch came from the entrance of the palace.
"The Third Prince has arrived, the Second Princess has arrived—"
Everyone stood up and knelt.
Song Yi walked in with a stern expression, followed by the second princess.
The second princess had a smile on her face and looked gentle.
Song Yi sat in the highest seat, the second princess sat below, and the ministers and their families sat even lower.
The man's gaze penetrated the crowd and landed on Jiang Zhili, but then moved away in just a moment.
"Stand up," his voice was full of momentum.
Everyone stood up and sat down.
At the same time, the sound of stringed instruments rang out in the hall, and a group of dancers came in gracefully and began to dance for the palace banquet. The palace servants also came in one after another and placed the fruits and snacks in their hands.
The distant and cold voice just now echoed in Li Huaner's mind, and her heart was pounding.
When she was about to raise her eyes to take a peek at the seat of honor, the noble lady sitting behind her let out a scream.
"How could it be him!"
Sitting behind Li Huan'er was the daughter of the Lin family. She was also present at the last flower banquet, but she was a little-known figure.
At that time, Song Yi was still Gousheng, standing behind Jiang Zhili in black clothes, and said that he was a horse slave.
He was just a servant, but Song Yi was so eye-catching that Lady Lin took a few more glances at him and was impressed.
She was confused and couldn't understand how this slave Gousheng could become the third prince!
Lin Guinu's scream was mixed in with the sound of stringed instruments, so it was not too abrupt. Li Huan'er heard it because she was close by.
She looked back and saw Lady Lin staring at the upper seat with her eyes wide open. She became suspicious and also looked towards the upper seat.
This sight shocked her heart.
The man sitting there exuded a cold aura, but his facial features looked familiar. Upon closer inspection, wasn't that the horse slave that Jiang Zhili brought to the flower banquet last time?
Ma Nu became the third prince, what a shocking news!
The disappearance of the third prince some time ago became known to the whole city, but unexpectedly, he was taken away by Jiang Zhili to be a horse slave.
Li Huan'er thought of the flower banquet when Jiang Zhili said to the prince that the third prince was not even qualified to be his favorite. How could someone from the royal family allow her to humiliate him like this?
Now that the Third Prince has returned to the palace, can he still accommodate her?
