Morning's approaching. After chatting with the Prince of Jixang, they decided to return to Xili. It seemed, Xin'er was very lazy to deal with the debate between Zhaoling and Jianglie who fought over her.
The two of them were unwilling to budge to gain Xin'er's love and attention. But for sure, right now the girl's mind was really messed up. Elsewhere, there is a husband who must be cared for his feelings. Inner Xin'er.
"Easy! You guys just keep the debate going. I want to go home," Xin'er said as they continued to clash their mouths and pay more attention to each other.
His heart became arrogant when he saw the two men were engrossed in a storm at a time like this. Xin'er immediately got up from her seat, and passed by just leaving them.
"Where are you going?" asked the two in unison which only Xin'er ignored.
By force, Jianglie lets Xin'er go with her love rival man. He promises to return to win Xin'er's heart.
Arriving at the Palace, everyone's eyes stared at the arrival of the Third Princess with a look of hatred. He was accused of flirting with the First Prince. Because before leaving the Palace, he had argued with the Queen Mother about Prince Zhaohan until expelled by the Third Prince.
Xin'er passed by them nonchalantly, although the killing gazes of everyone judged her. He was too lazy to serve their babble and nyinyir mouth that would only hurt his heart.
Zhaoling knew that his wife was currently being tough. But, he was sure Xin'er's heart was deeply hurt by the scathing remarks from everyone. Rushing he went to the Commander residence to change into the Third Prince. Zhaoling wanted to greet his wife in front of the gate of Zhoseng Palace, in order to alleviate her grief a little.
But unexpectedly, in the Third Prince's residence there were already two Xin'er personal servants and also her bodyguards who arrived first. "How do I get into Zhoseng Palace if the three of them are here?" inner Zhaoling.
He thought quickly to summon Liu Wei and Yu Xuan to divert the three people. With the help of his two shadow bodyguards, Zhaoling immediately entered Zhoseng Palace without anyone knowing.
Xin'er who had just arrived at Zhoseng Palace was immediately greeted by her three followers when she met outside. He rushed inside, because everyone followed him. At first, she did not want to enter and was still angry at her husband because of his attitude at that time. But, there was currently no other choice for him other than to hide inside Zhoseng Palace for a while.
"Come, we're in! They want Miss to get hurt, " whispered Tangsin to take Xin'er inside.
Xin'er who knew the current bad situation also agreed to Tangsin's invitation, and ignored her anger towards the Third Prince.
Upon entering, Xin'er could see the cheerful expression of her husband, although his warm smile could not be seen from his face covered in a black veil.
"You've arrived? Thank goodness!" said Zhaoling full of relief because he had felt worried. She was afraid that the Queen Mother or Zhaohan had come to head Xin'er's way, as she had gone to sneak up earlier.
Both Xin'er and her three followers thought that the expression of concern was because the Prince felt guilty towards Xin'er.
Zhaoling immediately approached his wife, then immediately hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry, Xin'er! I didn't mean to be rude to you back then" he said, holding his wife's hand. "Will you forgive my mistakes?" ask Zhaoling expectantly.
The three of them looked at each other, then nodded towards Xin'er so that the girl would agree and forgive the Prince. After all, being by the Prince's side and having his support is the way of salvation for his Miss.
There was a hint of doubt on the look on Xin'er's face as she nodded her head. Actually, she was very angry at her husband. But, there was indeed no other safest place in this Palace other than being with him. Xin'er.
Zhaoling immediately hugged his wife tightly. His outstretched hand rubbed Xin'er's head fondly. He also kissed his wife's forehead even though it was blocked by the black veil that covered her face.
...💫💫💫💫...
"Basic jerk! So, Xin'er had been hiding in her house all this time? If I knew he was there, I might have sent a hit man back then!" a young woman looks angry while throwing things in her room.
His servant lowered his head not daring to say anything. He was only silent for a moment, then said the words that made the young lady turn her head. "Mr Princess. The Third Prince greeted him with pleasure," the maid said.
The princess twisted her body while frowning. "Third Sister forgives her mistakes just like that? Oh, my God, I can't believe it!" then shouted.
"Right, Princess Hijin. I heard also, the person who picked up Princess Xin'er was Lord Commander-in-Chief." the maid explained.
The princess's face was shocked. He had known clearly how the temperament of the Great Commander of Xili was. Although his face was very handsome, but his nature was rude and arrogant as well. He is also known as the cold Lord of the Military.
"really? I don't believe any of this anymore! How could the cold man obey the Third Prince's order to pick up his wife? Whereas when the First Prince told him to escort me home, he rejected her outright! What's so great about that girl, that Commander Zhaoling is willing to pick her up himself?" gerutu Princess Hijin.
The servant approached, then whispered. "Mr Princess is superstitious no?" Hijin tapped both his shoulders. "I think Princess Xin'er used enchantment magic to ensnare the men. Lookie! The commander-in-chief fell to him, let alone the princes!" cetus.
Apparently, Hijin nodded because he was eaten by his servant's words. "You're right, Qin'qin! All the princes were fascinated by her beauty. Including my husband, Prince Zhaohan." Qin'qin nodded with Hijin's words.
"Then from that, we should look for smart people all over the world, to eliminate Princess Xin'er's pellet magic! Don't let this drag on, as it could jeopardize your position!" qin'qin's advice to his master.
Hijin also agreed to the opinion of his servant. "You're right! I will not allow Xin'er to ensnare Princes in Xili Kingdom or any Kingdom with her charm. He must feel the pain of being chased away again. Not just expelled from the Third Prince's residence, but expelled by the Emperor and all the people of Xili for good." Hijin's great-granddaughter grinned.
His servant smiled to see the master who began to rise and excited again, after having felt sad because of the scolded Prince Zhaohan.
•
Back then, Hijin admonished Zhaohan from approaching Xin'er again. She had heard the news, if her husband had always met the Third Prince's wife. However, instead of agreeing to his wife's request, Zhaohan instead snapped and slapped Hijin for meddling in his affairs.
What happened to Zhaohan? Is it not natural for a wife to ask her husband not to approach another woman, especially her sister's wife? Is Zhaohan still dissatisfied after having seven concubines and now wants to add another one?
If it was to be a concubine, of course Hijin did not mind it. However, Zhaohan's request this time really hurt her heart and feelings. Zhaohan asked Hijin to relinquish her position as First Princess to be replaced by Xin'er. It really made Hijin angry, but he couldn't do anything about it. Before he could protest, Zhaohan's hand had landed on his smooth cheek and left a red mark of his slap.
Hijin's heart really hurts. For two years she held the title of First Princess. But, not once did Zhaohan privilege him. In fact, her husband's actions always made her have to feel the bitterness of bile. A few months after her wedding, Zhaohan took a woman to her residence and recognized her as First Concubine. And then, that keeps happening until now. For almost three years, Zhaohan had already had six concubines.
Hijin was extremely envious of Xin'er being recognized as her only wife by the Third Prince. She was furious that her husband also turned out to love Xin'er too. His hatred grew even greater when Zhaohan said he would take Xin'er out of Zhaozu's hands to be his only wife, and banish Hijin and all his concubines if Xin'er wanted to.
"I will make sure Xin'er reaps her deeds to the end of her life. There is no more cruel punishment than to die slowly in terrible conditions! Let's see, Xin'er!" Hijin was determined with anger.
