It is only early March now, and there is still one month before the wedding. Yan Li does not plan to attend those messy banquets again. She wants to concentrate on practicing martial arts, exercise her body, and take care of some self-defense medicines.
For several days, she had not yet left in the Glazed Garden.
In addition to the several imperial guards assigned to her by the emperor, the ninth prince Mu Cang had also solemnly warned the Jiang family not to be rude to her anymore, so Yan Li's ears were much quieter these days.
On March 12, Jiang Jingyue returned home from the palace.
As soon as the news came out, the Jiang family was very excited and busy. Luo was so happy that he could hardly stop talking. The old lady quickly ordered the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal and entertain the prince and princess.
Before the sedan chair in the palace arrived, the Jiang family dressed neatly from old age to young age to welcome the prince and his wife. They stood outside the gate for nearly an hour before they saw the carriage coming from far and near.
"It's finally here." Luo breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the corners of his eyes with a veil. "I'm worried about it these two days. I must make up for Jingyue when I come back this time."
"What are you saying?" Grand Tutor Jiang frowned and glanced at her unhappily, "Has the Emperor and the Queen treated Jingyue badly?"
Even if she is really treated badly, she should thank her respectfully instead of chanting these complaints at any time.
"I..." Luo realized that he was not speaking properly and quickly explained, "This is not what his daughter-in-law meant, and his father calmed down."
Grand Tutor Jiang had a cold face. Thinking of the incidents that have happened over the past few days, he became increasingly convinced that a good wife would be prosperous in the third generation.
Luo is really a woman who is not good at the top. She is ignorant of the general situation, has no view of the overall situation, is narrow-minded and selfish.
If it weren't for her, Yan Li's affairs wouldn't have been so big, and the emperor wouldn't have been disheartened by the Jiang family.
Even after Yan Li was named a princess, she still refused to change her bad habit of being jealous and treated Yan Li as an enemy. It was not that she was talking nonsense with a few children and provoking the relationship between Jingyue and Yan Li, Tingshi and Tingyan would not have such a deep prejudice against Yan Li, and this time they would not be beaten or the other would be ruined by the official career.
"Don't talk when you shouldn't talk in the future." Jiang Yunming frowned at Luo, "You don't know if you say more or wrong? Jingyue is now the crown princess. No matter how she is in the palace, she is always full of grace. Some things you say are nothing, but in the ears of others, it means completely different-"
"I understand." Luo interrupted him in a low voice, his face feeling a little uneasy, "Jingyue has arrived home, it's important to welcome her daughter."
In front of so many people, can’t she give her some face?
Jiang Yunming then stopped talking.
Everyone in the Jiang family looked at the carriage that was getting closer and closer. The more they looked, the more they felt that the situation was too small. Luo was suspicious: "The prince and the princess left the palace, are there only a few people?"
Jiang Yunming also murmured in his heart that the situation was indeed much smaller than the last time Yan Li came back. He had neither the palace maids nor the imperial guards escorted him, so he followed a few maids in a shabby manner.
What does this mean? The queen is not worried that the prince will be assassinated outside the palace?
When he got closer, Jiang Jingyue walked out of the carriage with the help of the maid. Luo quickly met her: "Jingyue, why did you come back? Let your mother see if she has lost weight..."
"Mother." Jiang Jingyue held her hand and acted coquettishly intimately, "My daughter is good at eating and drinking in the palace. With so many people serving her, how can she lose weight?"
Grand Tutor Jiang was still standing, ready to salute respectfully after the prince got off the car. However, Jiang Jingyue walked over and saluted her grandfather and grandmother. Then they looked at her in surprise, "Jingyue, your prince hasn't come back with you?"
Jiang Jingyue felt as if she was pricked, and then she smiled as if nothing had happened: "Aren't we officially married yet? The Empress said it would be better to separate for a few days, and His Highness the Crown Prince has been diligent in government affairs recently and can't get out of her body for the moment."
"That's right." Luo nodded and laughed quickly, "It's good that I'm back anyway, my grandfather and grandmother are waiting for you."
Grand Tutor Jiang's expression was slightly dark, and he turned to look at the vast family behind him. He thought the prince and the princess returned home in a grand manner, so they dressed up and waited here early. Unexpectedly, Jiang Jingyue was the only one who came back, and she was so shabby.
It's a world of difference compared to the time when Yan Li came home.
Grand Tutor Jiang looked at Jiang Jingyue again, and Jiang Jingyue came forward to greet him: "The granddaughter has met his grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, and two brothers."
Grand Tutor Jiang nodded, then turned around and walked out.
"Sister, you're losing weight." Jiang Tingyi walked up and looked at Jiang Jingyue with love. "I heard that you have suffered a lot in the palace. My elder brother is worried that he can't eat or sleep well."
"Yes, I will definitely let my third brother take good care of you when I come back this time." Jiang Tingyan stretched out his hand and bounced Jiang Jingyue's forehead, and then said with melancholy, "Now my sister has become a noble lady in the palace. After the wedding, it will not be so easy for the brother and sister to meet again."
"I miss my mother and three brothers too." Jiang Jingyue looked pretty, "Now when she sees her family, she realizes the feeling of homesickness."
After saying that, she turned around and looked like she was looking for something, frowned and asked, "Why didn't you see your second brother?"
Luo's face darkened: "Your second brother is injured and is still in bed."
"Injured?" Jiang Jingyue's face changed slightly, and she was full of anxiety. "How can she be injured?"
"It's a long story." Luo's tone was jealous, "It's not because of that little bitch Yan Li! Jingyue, you don't know how arrogant she has been these days. Your second brother's injury was caused by her. Liuliyuan still guards the imperial guards arranged by the emperor to her... The imperial guards clearly protect the emperor, when will they be used to protect a cousin? I have gained some knowledge-"
"Enough." The old lady stopped drinking with her eyebrows, "I complained so much as soon as she came back. Can I let Jingyue go in and have a tea first?"
Luo's expression froze and he stopped talking awkwardly.
