Chapter 31
CHAPTER 31Engaged to Each Other Before They Were Born!?
“Younger brother has never belittled Emperor Brother.” Xiao Chen lowered his eyes; his tone was flat, showing not the slightest peek to his mood.
“Fine….. You want to marry, just go marry then!” Looking ashen, the Emperor shook his sleeves hard, pressing the anger in his heart. The Emperor then suddenly turned his body and left. Jing Yue stood frozen blinking her eyes; he just left? Contradicting the Emperor like this was ok?
Gee….. Simply too amazing!
“Jing Yue, your name is Jing Yue right?” Just when Jing Yue’s imagination run wild; the Consort G.o.ddess, who had been sitting high above, spoke once again.
“Yes.” Jing Yuen nodded her head and answered.
“Although the Emperor allowed you to be Ninth Huang Fei; before you manage to learn about the rules and etiquette in the palace, you absolutely cannot marry into the w.a.n.gfu.” The Consort G.o.ddess straightened her body and leaned over to stare at Jing Yue, and then she s.h.i.+fted her gaze toward Xiao Chen and said: “Ninth Huang Shu, you understand how the Empress Dowager over there is.”
“I have my own sense of propriety.” Xiao Chen turned his gaze away without even looking at the Imperial Consort’s face; the Consort G.o.ddess’s face went pale; pursing her lips tightly, she stared at Xiao Chen and said: “For so many years you’ve refused to enter the palace, now you enter the palace for her, you don’t even want to take even a glance at me?”
“Imperial Consort G.o.ddess, please pay attention to your ident.i.ty; I still have another matters to attend, we’ll leave first.” Xiao Chen’s face was cold; raising his hand to pulled Jing Yue’s, he pulled her out of the palace hall.
“Xiao Chen!” the Imperial Consort’s furious roar could be heard from behind, however Xiao Chen’s steps didn’t falter even for the slightest moment. The Imperial Consort stood her body up, apparently wanted to go out and chased yet her body was unyieldingly pulled still by the maid at her side; with a low voice in Imperial Consort’s ear she said: “G.o.ddess, calm down.”
“He still refuses to forgive me…….” The Imperial Consort’s eyes reddened. Vehemently clutching the handkerchief in her hands, she seemed to use all her power to close her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, they were filled with ruthlessness; clenching her teeth she said: “He actually dares to marry other people. Find out that woman’s ident.i.ty now, I want her to live worse than death!”
“Yes.” The maid beside her trembled; all these years, those women in Ninth Huang Shu’s side, they didn’t die tragically without any reason. This time Ninth Huang Shu actually made such a great fanfare for a woman, how could the Imperial Consort let this go?
Xiao Chen and Jing Yue, two persons went out of the palace. Inside the carriage, Xiao Chen became weirdly silent; the appearance of that cold face made Jing Yue slightly knitted her brows. She always felt there was something strange between Xiao Chen and that Imperial Consort, however, she didn’t know whether she should ask or not.
Xiao Chen, who had been silent along the way out of the palace, suddenly got down from the carriage and walked away; only giving an instruction to the people below to bring Jing Yue back into the w.a.n.gfu.
Inside a room, Jing Yue was lying on her stomach above a coach, completely lack of image; eating the grapes in her hands, she opened her mouth slightly, looked at Yin Qiao who was folding clothes beside her and asked: “Yin Qiao, you say, Xiao Chen and Imperial Consort actually have what kind of relation a?”
“Huang Fei, you don’t know?” Yin Qiao, somewhat flabbergasted, blinked her eyes looking at Jing Yue.
“Know what?” Jing yue sat her body up; seeing Yin Qiao’s looks; it seemed there were some gossips to be heard.
“No…… Nothing.” Yin Qiao hung her head down at once, not daring to speak.
“Speak!” Jing Yue frowned as she looked Yin Qiao who didn’t finish her words; suddenly, she raised her brows in resentment.
“Huang Fei, all the people in the Imperial City know about this matter. At that time, Consort G.o.ddess was not Consort G.o.ddess yet, she and Ninth Huang Shu had been engaged to each other before they were born, and they were beautiful couple that people talk about the most in the entire Dong Qing country. However, later, don’t know why, Consort G.o.ddess actually entered the palace.”
Yin Qiao’s small face was tangled as she spoke. Jing Yue’s eyes widened after she finished hearing; this Imperial Consort was actually Xiao Chen’s former wife from his prior engagement that was arranged even before he was born.
