"Brother Yeyang!"
As Xiao Yeyang stepped into Cining Palace, he saw Jiang Wanying, saw her running towards him with joy, and he couldn’t help but step back a bit.
"Miss, you should not address me this way in the future, it is not good for your reputation."
The smile on Jiang Wanying’s face froze, and she bit her lip, looking pitifully at Xiao Yeyang: "But... but Wanying has always called you that since I was little."
Xiao Yeyang furrowed his brows, "Miss, you are grown up now, you will be married in the future. If your future husband hears this, he will be displeased." Having said that, he walked into Cining Palace.
Watching Xiao Yeyang leave without hesitation, Jiang Wanying’s eyes misted up, she was silent for a moment, then lifted her skirt and followed him in with a smile on her face once again.
Inside the palace, not only the Empress Dowager, but also the wife of the Princely Heir from Duke Cheng’en, and the second wife of the Jiang Family were present.
The Empress Dowager wanted Xiao Yeyang to stay for dinner, but he declined, saying he had official duties.
"Did the Emperor grant you a pair of agate Mandarin Duck Rings today?"
Xiao Yeyang: "Yes."
The Empress Dowager glanced at Jiang Wanying who had just walked in, and smilingly said: "Since it is a pair, you surely can’t wear them both. How about giving one to Wanying?"
Xiao Yeyang’s brow immediately furrowed, "Empress Dowager, forgive me, I intend to keep the rings for my future wife, it is not appropriate to give one to the Miss."
Hearing Xiao Yeyang’s firm rejection, Jiang Wanying swayed slightly, "Brother Yeyang, we have grown up together like childhood sweethearts, you just..."
Xiao Yeyang disagreed outright, interrupting Jiang Wanying: "Miss, in the presence of the Empress Dowager, please conduct yourself with propriety. When have I ever been your childhood sweetheart?"
"Xiao Yeyang, you are being too much!"
The second wife of the Jiang Family looked at Xiao Yeyang with an iron face, recalling the last palace banquet where Xiao Yeyang had publicly shamed her daughter, and this time, he did not even leave her any dignity.
The Empress Dowager’s face also looked displeased.
Xiao Yeyang, undeterred, saluted with his hands clasped: "Empress Dowager, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now."
The Empress Dowager stared at Xiao Yeyang with profound meaning, uttering, "Yeyang, the title of the Duke of the Prince Residence, you really do not want it?"
Xiao Yeyang remained composed: "The Prince Residence belongs to my father, who he chooses to bestow the title upon is not for me to interfere with."
"Jingwan is also not young anymore, find a suitable match for her soon. My Jiang Family’s daughters have many suitors." freewёbnoνel.com
