Chapter 977 Preference and Exceptions
On the day Cheng Danzhu set out for Jiangbei, the wind was strong in Anning.
She did not ride in a sedan chair or carriage like ordinary princesses. Instead, she wore a crimson riding habit and rode a black horse skillfully.
The woman in red is like a general and a god of war, totally different from all the women who live in the back house.
Yan Yu stood far away on the city wall, standing motionless into the evening.
The dodder-like woman stood tiptoeing behind a pillar not far away, gritting her teeth in hatred, but she didn't dare to step forward, or even let him know she was there.
Even though the princess and Prince Yan were divorced, even though Yan Yu gave her fine clothes and delicious food, and even called her Madam to outsiders, no one in the entire palace or even the entire An Ning looked up to her.
Even those who laughed at Cheng Danzhu behind her back for being a princess who couldn't even keep her husband under control looked down on Miao Miao.
Of course, it was only natural that she was looked down upon.
Shi Li openly sent Cheng Danzhu out of the city. He did not cry in front of her, but secretly wiped his eyes with a handkerchief over and over again behind her back, until his eyes were red.
Cheng Xi came with her and couldn't bear to see this, so he snatched the handkerchief and whispered, "If you cry again, I will cry too."
Shi Li was stunned and stared at him speechlessly.
When Cheng Xi said this, others didn't believe it, but she did, after all, this person had cried in front of her many times.
When Cheng Danzhu's convoy was so far away that they could no longer be seen, the emperor and empress turned around and went back.
It is not easy to leave the palace once, so there is no need to be too anxious. You don't need a carriage or a sedan chair. You can just walk through the peaceful city and experience the peaceful and prosperous times where the people live in harmony.
As luck would have it, he met Yan Yu and Miao Miao, who was following him a few steps behind, by the moat.
Yan Yu kept his eyes down, and no one knew what he was thinking. He only noticed it when the Emperor and Empress approached him.
He glanced at the few attendants behind them and realized that he didn't want to be discovered, so he didn't perform a big ceremony and just bowed slightly.
The expression on Shi Li's face was a little unnatural.
She hated Yan Yu so much that she wanted to kick him a few times, but that was a family matter. He was the Prince of Yan, and even if he made a thousand mistakes in his private affairs, he was still a loyal and meritorious minister in the court.
As the queen, Shi Li had to treat him with courtesy.
I'm so angry!
Before he knew how to vent his anger, he saw Miao Miao, who had been following Yan Yu, silently take two steps forward, looking at Cheng Xi with a pair of affectionate eyes, as if he wanted to say something but was shy.
Shi Li: ...so pretty!
Miao Miao had followed Cheng Danzhu into the palace to meet Shi Li, so he could guess Cheng Xi's identity and his instinct took over in an instant.
Not every man is Yan Yu.
Cheng Xi and Shi Li knew what was going on. They were already angry about Cheng Danzhu, but couldn't vent their anger due to their status. Now Miao Miao had done something so disgusting, which was simply adding fuel to the fire.
"If you don't want your eyes, I'll get someone to dig them out for you."
Cheng Xi said this calmly, and the imperial aura emanating from him instantly made everyone present understand that he was not trying to scare anyone, but really wanted to do it.
Miao Miao stepped back, staggered and fell to the ground, his face frighteningly pale.
Cheng Xi didn't even look at her again. He took Shi Li's hand and prepared to leave. Finally, he turned around and looked at Yan Yu.
"Stop tarnishing the palace physician's reputation."
The implication is that Yan Yu will no longer be allowed to ask the imperial physician to see Miao Miao.
Yan Yu didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't even pay attention to Miao Miao on the ground. He paused before nodding and answering "yes".
After the empress left, Miao Miao staggered to her feet, not daring to approach Yan Yu, who was as still as a pillar. She asked softly with tears in her eyes, "Does Your Highness regret being with the princess..."
"I have nothing to say to cold-blooded people."
Yan Yu interrupted Miao Miao and answered resolutely.
Cheng Xi held Shi Li's hand and walked along the moat, but Shi Li didn't say much along the way, which made Cheng Xi a little worried.
Suspecting that he had just said something harsh and scared her, he could not help but stop and look at her in the light of the fishing fire on the boat.
"Lili, were you scared just now?" After all, this was the first time that Cheng Xi showed his scary side in front of Shi Li.
"What nonsense are you talking about! You looked so handsome just now!"
Shi Li didn't expect Cheng Xi to have such a train of thought. She shook her head like a rattle, her eyes filled with admiration.
"It's good and I love it. I want to watch it again next time!"
Cheng Xi: …
[Haha, the host wasn't scared at all, he was just impressed by his handsomeness~]
[I also like the look of Emperor Ji just now, so handsome and cool! ]
[Who is dating this man who can see through a white flower and a green tea at a glance? ? ? ]
[Answering the above post, of course it was the cute little Litchi who was talking~]
When night fell over An Ning City, the young emperor and empress climbed up the highest tower together to admire the lights of thousands of homes in the city.
"Lili."
"Ok?"
"To me, you are as important as the world."
"My pleasure."
It was the first time that Shi Li heard sweet words from this man, and she couldn't help but climb onto his shoulders.
The lips are burning and the admiration is boundless.
