Chapter 349: You simply don’t take me seriously!
As these questions and discussions continued to arise, people began to speculate about this mysterious princess of Chu.
What kind of person is she to deserve such special treatment from the War King? This question has become a mystery in everyone's mind, causing the entire capital to boil over.
Tianyi listened to the people's discussions, walked to the front of the crowd with a serious face, put his hands on his hips, and said loudly: "Everyone be quiet and listen to me. His Royal Highness the King of Zhan and the Princess of Chu have completed the wedding ceremony in Chu. They are now husband and wife. After returning on September 18th, they will hold a grand wedding banquet again to celebrate this happy event." His voice was loud and clear, as if it could penetrate the sky, so that everyone present could hear it clearly.
When the people heard this, they suddenly realized that this was the case! They were deeply moved and sincerely blessed His Royal Highness the King of War and the Princess of Chu.
At this time in Prince Zhan's mansion, Jun Feimo carefully held the woman in his arms and slowly walked into the house.
He gently placed Chu Zixi on the soft couch, his eyes full of tenderness and pampering.
He reached out his hand and gently stroked her cheek, feeling the delicate skin. At this moment, his heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction.
Outside the door, An Yi hesitated, not knowing whether he should go in and report.
He looked at Tianyi next to him and motioned him to go in first.
Tianyi shook his head helplessly, pushed Anyi, and whispered, "You should go."
An Yi glared at Tian Yi, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to step forward.
An Yi took a deep breath and said softly, "Master, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager have sent people to invite you and the Princess to enter the palace."
Jun Feimo frowned slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
He replied calmly, "The prince and the princess are busy, let's talk about it tomorrow."
When Tianyi heard this, he touched his nose and sighed in his heart that it was just as he expected.
When An Yi heard Jun Feimo's words, he was stunned, but he quickly reacted and immediately turned around and walked out.
When Eunuch Xi and Eunuch An saw An Yi coming out, they hurried over to greet him and asked anxiously, "How is it? What did the prince say?"
An Yi replied calmly, "The prince said that he and the princess had a long journey and it was very tiring. Now they need to rest and we will talk tomorrow."
"Oh, fine then. I'll go to the palace and report this right away." After saying this, Eunuch Xi turned around and left.
When Eunuch Xi left, Eunuch An also left.
Chu Zixi looked at Jun Feimo quietly and asked softly: "If I don't enter the palace now, will your mother..."
Jun Feimo smiled gently. He stretched out his hand, gently embraced Chu Zixi in his arms, and comforted her: "Mother is a little unreasonable, but I am here, Xier, don't worry. You have worked hard on this journey, you should rest for a while."
Chu Zixi listened to Jun Feimo's words, and a warm current surged in her heart. Although they were sitting in the carriage all the way, Chu Zixi did not feel tired at all. Because every time she lay down for a long time, she would enter her own space and enjoy the tranquility and freedom, so this journey was not hard for her.
However, Chu Zixi was relieved that she didn't have to go to the palace to see the Queen Mother. After all, the Queen Mother had always disliked her and wanted to kill her before? If she really went to the palace, she might not be able to help herself.
Jun Feimo looked at Chu Zixi's slightly frowned brows and said distressedly: "Xi'er, I'll let Xiaobai accompany you while I go take care of things."
Chu Zixi nodded. She knew that Jun Feimo needed to take care of some matters when he returned.
At the same time, in the Cining Palace of the Imperial Palace, Eunuch Xi and Eunuch An hurried in and reported to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager what had happened in the palace.
The emperor sat aside, playing with an exquisite teacup in his hand, and took a sip gently, with no expression on his face, as if he had already expected this.
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother slammed the tea table beside her, and the teacup trembled slightly, making a crisp sound.
"Hmph! So what if she is a princess of Chu? Since she married into our Dongyang Kingdom, she is a Dongyang citizen and must abide by our Dongyang rules! It is outrageous that she came to Dongyang but did not first visit me in the palace!" said the Queen Mother with an unhappy look on her face.
The emperor smiled faintly and said softly, "Why is your mother so angry? It's not good to get sick from anger."
However, the Queen Mother snorted coldly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone: "This Fei Mo is really something, he actually brought the Princess of Chu directly into the palace instead of arranging her in the post station, how can this be considered decent!"
The emperor frowned slightly, with a hint of impatience in his eyes. "Mother, Fei Mo wrote to me earlier, saying that he and the Princess of Chu had completed their wedding ceremony under the witness of the Emperor of Chu and the officials of the Chu court."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother's face instantly darkened, and then she frowned and said with an unhappy look: "Even so, so what? After all, she is a princess of Chu. Now that she has married to our country, we should hold a grand wedding in Dongyang to show that our country attaches great importance to this marriage and follows etiquette."
The emperor quietly stared at the empress dowager's face which was slightly distorted by anger, and slowly said, "Mother, Fei Mo had previously written a letter saying that there was no need to hold a wedding ceremony after returning to the country, only a wedding banquet would be enough." The emperor's voice was low and slow, and this sentence was like a lit fuse, instantly triggering greater anger in the empress dowager's heart.
"What? I don't agree! How can the royal family of our Dongyang Kingdom be looked down upon like this? It's the princess of Chu who married into our Dongyang Kingdom, so the wedding ceremony must be held in Dongyang Kingdom. It's not Fei Mo who married into her Chu Kingdom!" The queen mother was so angry that her face turned blue. She clenched her fists and slammed the tea table in front of her so hard that the cup lid jumped up, making a crisp sound.
Her voice trembled with anger and echoed throughout the palace, as if it could blow the roof off.
The emperor sat quietly aside, silent, just frowning slightly. He looked at the empress dowager's excited expression and couldn't help feeling annoyed.
The emperor stood up and bowed to the queen mother: "Mother, I still have important matters to deal with, so I will take my leave first."
After saying this, the emperor turned around and strode out of the Cining Palace, leaving the empress dowager alone there, gasping for breath in anger.
There was silence in the Cining Palace, with only the heavy breathing of the Queen Mother echoing.
Seeing this, the nanny beside her hurried forward to comfort her, "Queen Dowager, calm down! It's not worth it to get yourself hurt over such a small matter!"
The Queen Mother turned her head and looked at her coldly: "Calm down? You came back and didn't come to the palace to see me the first time. You simply don't take me seriously!"
