Return of the Swallow

remarks.”

At this point, she wiggled out of the prince’s embrace and looked at him severely.
“This is all because of you.
The princess carries deep feelings for you and she can no longer hold herself in after our wedding.
She happened to think of this when she saw me and grew jealous.
That’s why she gave me a hard time.”

She poked Pang Xiao’s cheeks and continued unrelentingly, “So tell me, isn’t this because of you?”

The man coughed.
“I never encouraged her.
I treated her as a younger sister when she was young, and now she’s just a younger sister who’s grown up.
Even her older brother is distant with me now.
What can I possibly have to do with her?”

“I know you don’t, but she said some very ugly things to me.” Qin Yining recounted what had happened earlier in the palace.

“So you pretended to be out because you wanted to use this to take Anyang out of the picture?”

“You know me alright, Your Highness.” Qin Yining smiled.
“Even if there’s nothing between you, she’s wife to Prince Consort Ji but still making eyes at my husband.
Do you think I’d let her off easily? Such a character really smears the royal family’s dignity!”

“You’re right.” Pang Xiao knew that he was in a weaker position and only dared engage his wife in conversation.

Buoyed by the positive feedback, Qin Yining propped herself up.
”The only thing I hope for now is that Prince Consort Ji isn’t too saddened with what Li Helan’s done.”

Pang Xiao also felt saddened for his brother.
Being close, he naturally knew Ji Lan’s personality.

He had ability in spades and looks handsome enough to eclipse the moon.
He was also highly skilled in martial arts and the commander of the Dragon Riders.
How was a person like this not worthy of Li Helan?

Such a wanton woman…

Every time she approached Ji Zeyu was a personal insult to the prince consort!

But what saddened Pang Xiao the most was that the emperor’s preference for Ji Zeyu was becoming ever more apparent.
This further hobbled Ji Zeyu, to the point where he couldn’t say anything even when his oh-so-noble wife did something wrong.

It really was a tragedy.

Qin Yining hopped off the bed.
“I’m going to make my greetings to mother and grandmother.
I’m afraid the hubbub was too big just now and I might’ve scared them.”

“I’ve already sent people to pass on a message.
Don’t worry.”

“But that’s just from someone else.
It’s the most filial if we go ourselves.”

Pang Xiao had to bow to his wife’s logic.

Huzi called in a report at this time.
“Your Highness, a secret report’s arrived from the south.
They say that the earth dragon turned over in the old capital of Great Yan.” [1]
