Alone in an empty room
Inside Prince Yi's estate, people continued to pour in to congratulate him.
The Emperor and Concubine Xiao's gifts had arrived a long time ago.
After Jing Yi finished toasting the guests, he returned to his own courtyard, not caring about the chaos outside.
Dou Quan came over and asked, "Your Highness, aren't you going to the bridal room?"
Hole your sister!
Jing Yi had always thought that Ji Muqing was a pile of sh * t. Marrying her meant that he had already swallowed his sh * t. Now, she wanted him to consummate their marriage?
Wasn't that the same as swallowing the shit that he had spat out?
Disgusting!
"I'm not going."
"Ah?" Dou Quan was shocked. "Your Highness, you should at least go on your wedding night."
Jing Yi remained unmoved.
The maid in Ji Muqing's courtyard ordered, "Go tell the Consort that it's getting late. Tell her to rest early."
Hmm?
The little girl was astonished.
Rest?
Letting Wangfei rest alone in the room on the wedding night?
This …
The maidservant was suspicious, but she didn't dare to ask. She lowered her head and retreated, bringing these words to Ji Muqing's personal maidservant, Cailan.
Upon hearing this, Cailan hurriedly asked, "Why? The princess has been waiting inside for a long time. "
"I don't know either. His Highness told me."
After the little girl finished speaking, she quickly ran away.
Cailan's heart was filled with trepidation. How was she supposed to say this? If her young miss heard this, she might skin her alive to vent her anger.
The injury on his face from the slap hadn't even healed yet!
In the end, he mustered up his courage and went over to inform them while trembling.
At this moment, Ji Muqing was sitting obediently in the bridal chamber. She didn't know how long she had waited, but the feeling of bashfulness and nervousness gradually disappeared.
Why hasn't he come yet?
Did he drink too much?
Perhaps it was because there were too many people who came to congratulate him today and Prince Yi had to greet them one by one, so he was still busy.
She comforted herself.
His mind was filled with all sorts of possibilities.
Creak!
The door was pushed open from the outside.
At that moment, her mind shook!
She clenched her fists and bit her crimson lips. Even her light breathing began to quicken.
"Consort?" It was Cailan's voice.
Hmm?
Ji Muqing was puzzled. "Where is His Highness?"
"His Highness, he …"
He stuttered.
Ji Muqing's heart tightened when she heard the question. She wanted to remove the veil on her head, but when she remembered that the matchmaker had said that Prince Yi had to personally remove the veil, she quickly restrained herself.
"Tell me, where's His Highness?"
"Your Highness … I'm not coming." Cailan shrunk her neck.
"What?"
Ji Muqing's mind went blank.
Cailan walked over, her hands clasped tightly together as she said in a trembling voice, "His Highness just sent someone over to inform us that he won't be coming over. He asked Consort … to rest early."
Ji Muqing thought she had misheard and asked again, "Say it again. What do you mean by His Highness is not coming?"
"I'm not sure either. Perhaps … His Highness had too much to drink, so he couldn't come over." Cailan's voice was very soft, afraid that if she said something wrong and got beaten up, it wouldn't be worth it.
But —
Ji Muqing said, "He will come, he will definitely come. Go out, I want to wait here for His Highness."
"Princess …"
"Get out!"
Cailan was roared out.
There was a light knock on the door.
Under the red veil, Ji Muqing's eyes were red, her fingers clenched tightly together.
Her fingernails dug deep into her flesh, causing her to clench her teeth in pain.
That night, she sat alone in her room and waited. Even when the sun rose, Jing Yi still didn't come.
She stayed alone in her room for the whole night!
Early in the morning, Cailan brought in a basin of water. She happened to see Ji Muqing slowly pulling off her veil, a handkerchief slipping from her fingertips to the ground.
The wind blew and it crumpled it into a ball.
Her eyes were tired, lifeless, and bloodshot.
"Princess?"
Cailan was worried.
Ji Muqing laughed coldly, two streams of tears falling from her eyes.
"Why must you humiliate me like this?"
"Princess, don't be sad."
She gritted her teeth and said unbearably, "He left me alone in this room on our wedding night. What did I do wrong that he has to humiliate me like this? It was Jing Yi who said he would marry me, so why did he leave me here alone? "
Her eyes grew redder and redder. She stood up angrily and tore off the pearl hairpin in her hair, throwing it on the ground with all her might.
The pearls fell to the ground, the thread torn, and the pearls fell to the ground one by one with a crackling sound.
Just like her heart, it was shattered into pieces.
Prince Yi's Consort! What a great title, a position that everyone envied. She, Ji Muqing, had obtained it, but why did he give it to her, and then humiliate her?
Cailan knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound.
Ji Yunshu rushed out of the room, wanting to find Jing Yi.
But before she could leave the courtyard, she was stopped by a woman.
This woman was called Chen Xiang, the daughter of the Assistant Minister of Revenue. She was a concubine that Prince Yi had married a few years ago. She was very beautiful and had the appearance of a foxy fox, with a hint of the charm of a prostitute. Just her eyes alone seemed to be able to squeeze out water droplets when she closed them.
"Little Sister, where are you going?" Chen Xiang's voice was as delicate and pleasant as her face.
Little Sister?
Ji Muqing had heard that there were indeed a few beauties in Prince Yi's estate.
"Who are you?"
"Little Sister has just entered the estate. Don't tell me you don't know that His Highness has a side consort?"
"You?"
She pinched her handkerchief and smiled, raising her eyes to look at her, "Little Sister has just gotten married, why are you rushing out in a bright red wedding dress? Shouldn't you be in the room dressing and changing your clothes? Where are you going? Prince Yi's estate is huge. You've just arrived, don't get lost. "
Ji Muqing was instantly angered.
She put on a fierce face.
"Who are you calling Little Sister?"
"Eh? What's wrong with Little Sister? "
Ji Muqing retorted, "Shameless thing, I am Prince Yi's official Consort. How dare a side consort like you call me Little Sister in front of me?"
Chen Xiang had long heard that the Princess Consort who had just entered the estate had a bad temper. Not only that, but she was also arrogant and self-righteous. But in her eyes, she was clearly a clown.
Ji Muqing was not angry, "According to the rules of Prince Yi's estate, you entered the estate after me, so of course you're Little Sister."
That anger!
Ji Muqing had been left alone in an empty room, and now a woman had come running over to call her 'Little Sister'. It was like pouring oil onto a fire, instantly igniting a raging inferno in her heart.
"Get lost!"
She pushed the woman in front of her away and rushed out to find Jing Yi.
At this moment, Jing Yi was looking at the two name lists handed over by Hanlin Academy.
It was the name list for this year's imperial examinations.
Dou Quan said, "Your Highness, His Majesty has decided on the candidate for Tanhua, but this year's zhuangyuan and bangyan haven't been decided yet. His Majesty asked Hanlin Academy to make a decision first."
He looked at the names of Shang Zhuo and Lin Shu.
"What's their background like?"
"They're both students from Mingshan Academy.
The one called Shang Zhuo comes from a poor family and has a clean background. He's also very calm and has the ability to copy all things. As for the one called Lin Shu, he's more impulsive. The night before the court examinations, he got into an argument with someone in the examination hall and almost got into a fight. Although he's quite straightforward, I'm afraid he'll cause trouble if we make use of him. "
Jing Yi smiled and picked out Lin Shu's name list, "He'll be the one. Go lure him over, but don't attract attention."
"Yes."
