The Regent and His Wife Couldn't Possibly be so Loving.

59

Mingyi vaguely remembered that on Xie Shu's birthday, she had deliberately reminded Xie Shu to prepare a birthday "surprise" for her.

Of course she understood that the so-called "surprise" did not require any reminder.

Maybe I subconsciously feel that if I don’t remind the other person, they won’t remember.

In the past two days, apart from Cheng Yin and Jiang Ling who came to accompany her out of fear that her "emotional trauma" had not yet healed, the majority of people who came were her father's former subordinates.

It was not convenient for those people to come by themselves, so they sent their wives or sisters.

Most people try to persuade people to reconcile in the tone of someone who has experienced it, so never divorce impulsively.

When Xie Shu was going to marry Ming Yi, the happiest people were the old officials whose families had been declining since their father's death. After the change of dynasties, the regent became strong and took advantage of her marriage to Xie Shu to reintegrate into the court.

They don't want to see Ming Yi and Xie Shu separated, as this would do more harm than good to them.

"Everyone lives this way. Without the Regent, life may not be more comfortable than before."

Indeed, Xie Shu was good enough and reliable enough. Marriages for profit were common in Beijing, and many of them just made do with each other for the rest of their lives.

It seemed that she and Xie Shu could "make do" with each other for the rest of their lives.

At first, Mingyi just secretly kept Xie Shu in her heart, but gradually she began to want to become his sweetheart. After they got married, she greedily wanted to occupy his entire heart.

This greed seems excessive.

But she was unwilling to never win Xie Shu's heart and just live with him for the rest of her life.

Three days later, at a palace banquet.

Although no one knew why the Regent suddenly wanted to hold a palace banquet, everyone gave respect to a banquet he personally hosted, and all the prominent officials and their families in the capital attended.

The only one missing was the eldest princess.

Considering the previous rumors about the two, everyone was not surprised.

The Regent seemed to have an unusually gloomy expression, with a dark gray color in his eyes.

Chengfeng went to the Princess's Mansion to deliver the invitation more than once, and asked Yunying to make sure to deliver the invitation to His Highness because of their past friendship.

Yunying accepted it. I guess His Highness knew about the invitation.

The Regent specially arranged this palace banquet for Your Highness.

But His Highness did not come. Perhaps he did not want to see the Regent and deliberately avoided the palace banquet.

It was summer, but the area around the Regent King seemed frozen. No one dared to approach him. Even Cheng Feng just stood aside and said nothing.

But there was someone who was not afraid of death and handed a glass of vegetarian wine to Xie Shu, looking like "I understand you".

Cheng Yin and Jiang Ling are the people closest to Cheng Zhiyan, so he naturally knows all the twists and turns of Ming Yi and Xie Shu.

"You wanted to send me to Shu last time. You didn't want to be separated from His Highness, did you?" Cheng Zhiyan offered Xie Shu a glass of plain wine, tapped the cup on the table a few times, and glanced at Xie Shu, "Childish."
