"How could my sister-in-law not be the daughter of Prime Minister Shang when they slandered me like this?" He Yunyi said loudly, "Father will definitely arrest them all as a warning to others."
"What they said is true. I am indeed not your daughter."
After Shang Ruoyi finished speaking, the main hall fell silent.
Shaoyao stood aside, twisting her handkerchief with her fingers, secretly observing the expressions on Prince Ding and Princess Ding's faces.
After a while, Prince Ding finally found his voice and said in disbelief, "Are you telling the truth?"
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "My daughter-in-law is indeed not my daughter. I already knew this when I was in exile."
At this moment, there was a "pop" sound, and Prince Ding slammed heavily on the table. He stood up suddenly, his face flushed, and said loudly: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Shang Ruoyi was stunned: "My daughter-in-law thought you wouldn't care about these." And didn't He Jingheng already know about it?
Shang Ruoyi thought he was quite disgusted with her body, but suddenly she heard a hearty laugh in her ears: "Hahahahaha!"
Princess Ding slapped him hard and said, "You're going to scare me to death."
"Good, good, good! That's great!" Prince Ding laughed loudly, "It's great that you don't have the blood of the Shang family. Otherwise, how can I get along with my ancestors in the future? If He Jingheng marries a girl from the Shang family, I'm afraid he will be beaten to death by my ancestors. No matter what bloodline you have, it's better to have the Shang family."
Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but laugh secretly. If he knew that she was the biological daughter of the King of Western Region City, who knows what would happen.
He Yunyi was standing aside, finally feeling relieved. She had thought that her father would dislike her because of her sister-in-law's body.
He Jingheng also received the news in the military camp.
"Prince, I don't know where this news came from, but it spread all over the streets and alleys overnight. Now the Crown Prince's Consort has become the laughing stock of the people in the capital."
He Jingheng's face darkened slightly: "What did they say?"
"Some people say that the Crown Prince's Concubine's birth father is unlucky and her background is unknown, so she is not worthy of being the Crown Prince's principal wife. Others speculate that the Crown Prince's Concubine's birth mother is of low character and had an affair with the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion, which is why she gave birth to the Crown Prince's Concubine. There are even more unpleasant things, so I'd better not say them, so as not to pollute the Crown Prince's ears."
He Jingheng looked at the paper in his hand. Such a quick and careful plan allowed the news to spread throughout the capital in the shortest time. The only ones who could do this and had something to do with Shang Ruoyi were those few families.
"Go check the source of this news quickly."
"놆."
He Jingheng thought about it, stood up and prepared to walk out of the tent.
"Sir, are you going to the general's tent now? Several deputy generals are waiting for you to discuss matters."
"No, go back home."
Yun Yu heard this and suddenly realized that in the eyes of the prince, nothing was as important as the prince's consort.
When the deputy generals heard that he had suddenly returned to the mansion, they couldn't help but ask, "Did anything happen in the mansion?"
Yun Xiao smiled and said, "It's about the Crown Prince's Consort."
Crown Princess?
It's really rare that their prince would be tripped by a woman one day.
One of the deputy generals had a slight gleam in his eyes and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
He Jingheng returned home and went straight to their yard.
Shang Ruoyi was studying Dongzhu jewelry and drew dozens of drawings, preparing to have skilled craftsmen make them according to the drawings.
"What are you doing?" He Jingheng saw her serious look from afar and couldn't bear to disturb her. He waited until she put down her pen before he asked.
"I didn't do anything. I just drew some little things." Shang Ruoyi put away the drawings and asked, "Why did you come back? Didn't you say it would take at least half a month?"
"I just want to eat the food you cook." He Jingheng looked at her with deep eyes.
"I'll go see what's in the kitchenette and make you two side dishes to try."
"good."
He Jingheng didn't look away until her figure disappeared around the corner.
Looking at the writings on the table, he could not help but smile at himself. Hearing the news, he was worried that she would get stuck in a rut, so he hurried back from the barracks. But she was fine, as if she was not affected at all by the gossips of people all over the capital, and she was painting leisurely here.
He couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. At this point he had to admit that his life was ruined by this girl.
Shang Ruoyi cooked several dishes and specially fried some clam meat. The clam meat tasted really delicious and she loved eating it very much recently.
In addition, she also brought some pickled cucumbers from the space.
"What is this?"
"This pickled vegetable is not valuable, but it is crisp and delicious." She picked up a piece for him and said, "If you like it, you can take it to the barracks. You can eat it whenever you want, and you don't have to go through all this trouble today."
He Jingheng paused while eating and cursed inwardly, "You little heartless one."
He just said casually that he wanted to eat her food. He stretched out his hand and gently pinched her face: "You! You are such an ungrateful person!"
Shang Ruoyi's lips curled slightly, but she smiled without saying a word.
After dinner, He Jingheng did not leave, but went to her room and started reading a book.
"Don't you have to go back to the barracks tonight?"
"Um."
Shang Ruoyi didn't say much after hearing this and continued to paint at the table.
After a while, she had already placed a pile of paper in front of her: "These should be enough for the opening."
Her eyes fell on the book in He Jingheng's hand and she couldn't help laughing.
He Jingheng looked at her in confusion: "What are you laughing at?"
"The book is held upside down."
What?
He Jingheng's eyes finally fell on the book, and he touched the tip of his nose awkwardly: "Recently, this prince has been trying to read it backwards."
"I see. The prince's hobbies are really unique." She yawned, "I'm going to sleep."
"Um."
He Jingheng did not move, his eyes still on the book.
After a while, the sound of even breathing came from the bed.
He Jingheng put down the book, walked to the bed, and looked at Shang Ruoyi who was already sleeping soundly. He gently lifted the quilt and lay down in it, for fear of waking her up.
He put his arms around her and held her in his arms. At this moment, Shang Ruoyi turned over, found a comfortable position in his arms and continued to fall asleep.
There was a hint of helplessness in He Jingheng's eyes. Was he just looking for trouble because he had nothing better to do?
He tightened his arms around her slightly, and the person in his arms whimpered in discomfort. He Jingheng quickly loosened his arms. For him, this night was more difficult than torture.
Before dawn, He Jingheng was ready to return to the military camp. He gave Shang Ruoyi a kiss on the head and left in a hurry.
Shang Ruoyi felt that she had a refreshing sleep.
When I got up, I didn't see He Jingheng, and the bed next to me was cold, so I guess he had been gone for a long time.
