Chapter 1582: Everything Has Changed
When the king’s boat left the sh.o.r.e, Yin Feng quickly followed behind them with the guards.
The boats slowly approached the center of the lake as the beautiful scenery was etched into everyone’s eyes.
Jing Xi could sense that something was off with the king. His expressionless face made the warming sunset feel cold.
Jing Xi began to regret boarding the boat, and for a moment, it was tranquil.
Huo Yunshen was looking at the landscape, but the woman that was sitting opposite him could also be seen out of the corner of his eye.
The feeling that Jing Xi had returned was back.
And that feeling made him feel sick as he closed his eyes and wiped his forehead. It felt like he was having trouble breathing.
Jing Xi initially planned not to do anything that wasn’t needed, but when she saw that the king had a nasty look on his face, she couldn’t help but express her concerns.
“My liege, are you okay?”
“…”
Huo Yunshen did not reply, nor did he give any response.
He was locking himself away, away from everything.
Huo Yunshen’s reaction was within Jing Xi’s expectations. She knew that her ugly face and the fact that she had angered the king the day before would not garner any response.
Jing Xi felt lucky, as the little prince was with them, too, and he wasn’t as cold as his father was.
“Auntie Xiaoxi, what is that?” Little Grape kept asking as he pointed at things that he’d never seen before, and Jing Xi would explain everything to him.
“Look, ducks!”
Jing Xi followed Little Grape’s finger and saw two swans on the water with two little cygnets following behind them.
“Those aren’t ducks, they are swans,” Jing Xi corrected.
“Are they a family?”
“Yes. One is the father, the other one is the mother, and the two small ones are the babies.”
“They are lucky to have a mother…” Little Grape sighed.
Ying Bao also followed Little Grape’s finger and saw the cygnets following their mother.
It made her think about her mother again. Tears could be seen at the sides of her eyes as she tried her best to hold them back.
She’d always thought that only princes would get depressed.
It wasn’t only until she became a princess herself that she realized princesses were the same. Ever since her mother left, Ying Bao had not laughed happily for a very long time. It was as if the world around her had completely changed.
She remembered that her mother used to promise that she would never leave, but she left in the end.
Jing Xi could feel the atmosphere worsening. The king was still cold towards everything while the princess looked like she was trying to hold back her tears. Little Grape was staring at the family of swans with envious looks.
Jing Xi sympathized with the fact that the two children had lost their mother at an early age.
“Do you want to feed the fish?” Jing Xi asked Little Grape as she tried to change the mood.
“With what?”
Little Grape looked at the koi under the water, and his interest was piqued.
