Chapter 320 Vitriol
Imperial Palace, Imperial Gardens
In the pavilion next to the lotus pond, Ji Ruxue was feeding the fish in the pond.
He was dressed in white, with a white fox fur coat half over his body. Although he had just recovered from a serious illness, his face was still a little pale, his body was thin and gaunt, and he looked a little weak.
The servant Liu Yun behind him said worriedly, "Your Highness, you have just recovered from your illness. The imperial physician said that you cannot catch a cold. Why don't you return to your bedroom?"
Ji Ruxue shook her head and said gently, "I want to stay a little longer."
He gazed at the fish swimming freely in the pond with his slightly lowered eyes, a hint of envy flashing across his eyes.
How nice it would be if he were this fish, carefree and without any worries.
Seeing his prince staring at the lotus pond in a daze, Liu Yun knew that he was still worried about the marriage, so he tactfully stopped disturbing him.
"Yes."
He responded quietly and stepped aside.
At this moment, a proud voice broke the silence.
"Hey, isn't this my good third brother?"
Liu Yun froze slightly when he heard the familiar voice, and looked up, and it was indeed the Sixth Prince.
Who in the palace doesn't know that Lord Feng and Lord Rougui are having a falling out?
Because of this incident, there was a lot of gossip that embarrassed His Highness.
Now that I have run into the Sixth Prince, I am afraid he has bad intentions.
Seeing that Ji Lening had already walked to the pavilion, Liu Yun bowed.
"Greetings to His Highness the Sixth Prince!"
Ji Lening was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with her long, jet-black hair tied up high, and an exquisite hair crown. Long, flowing beads hung down, swaying as she walked, making her look quite dashing.
Her eyebrows are dark without any drawing, her skin is as white and smooth as fat without any powder, and her lips are as red as red fruit when she purses them.
The red jade bracelet worn on the fair wrist is as white as snow, as red as fire, and so bright that it is breathtaking.
Ji Lening was dressed very brightly and attractively, which made people's eyes light up.
Ji Ruxue saw Ji Lening's body stiffen slightly, and her face turned pale as if she remembered something.
"Sixth brother~"
Ji Lening walked into the pavilion, glanced at Ji Ruxue with a haughty look, and walked around him.
"Why did Third Brother have the leisure to come out and stroll around the Imperial Garden when he was not staying in the palace to get married?" "Don't tell me you can't get rid of General Xiahou and want to find another woman to be the scapegoat, right?"
Looking at Ji Ruxue's pale little face, his eyes were full of contempt and disdain.
"Tsk tsk, Third Brother, how much do you hate getting married?"
"You are so fickle. Don't let yourself be cuckolded by Princess Ashina after you marry her. That would be a disgrace to the royal family of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."
"you……"
Ji Ruxue's pretty face turned pale and she stared at the person in front of her in disbelief.
It seemed as if he didn't understand why he became like this and why his words were so harsh and unpleasant.
Even if he felt uncomfortable because General Xiahou had saved him before, didn't he explain it?
It was just a misunderstanding.
Ji Lening glanced at his pale face which looked like he had been shocked, as if he had misunderstood him, and he became extremely angry.
He took a deep breath, and the malice in his eyes deepened, becoming more sarcastic.
"What? Am I wrong, brother?"
"If you have the guts to do it, why don't you have the guts to admit it?"
"you……"
Ji Ruxue was forced to retreat, her frail body swaying and about to fall into the lotus pond.
"Your Highness!"
Liu Yun, who was standing by, was so frightened that he quickly stepped forward to support him.
After helping Ji Ruxue to sit on the chair, he spoke angrily to Ji Lening.
"Sixth Prince, please don't go too far!"
"How can you say such a thing? My prince is your elder brother. It's ok for you to disrespect him, but how can you be so rude and slander his reputation!"
"presumptuous!"
Ji Lening glared and shouted, "Who gave you the courage to speak to me like that?"
"Qinghe, slap me in the face!"
