MY WASTE PRINCE 15 The Reason Of Their Attitude

I glanced at my husband who was sitting beside me. Both of us were on our way back to Xiao w.a.n.gfu. Since leaving the Palace, my husband remained silent. He did not invite me to speak. This situation is far worse than when we go to the Palace. I know that he is sad.

Seeing the expression on his face, my heart felt burned. I remember the incident in the palace. We were both humiliated by Bixia and Huanghou.

If I'm just being humiliated, I'm not disappointed. I know that I deserve it because I made a mistake on Huangtaiji's wedding day.

However, I cannot accept that my husband was humiliated like that. Bixia didn't want to meet him for a while. Then Huanghou insulted him. Why did Bixia forbid my husband from referring to Huanghou as Muhou?

I think their att.i.tude is outrageous. Huanghou said that I have no ethics. Actually she is who has no ethics!

"Do you like natural scenery?" Suddenly my husband asked me. I looked at my husband. He was looking out the window. Now it's dusk. The sky is orange.

"I like it," I answered shortly.

"Then, someday, I will. bring Xia He to see the beautiful natural scenery. We can travel around this kingdom, "my husband said again. This time he looked at my face.

"In the North there are gra.s.slands inhabited by nomadic tribes. I want to take Xia He there to enjoy the twilight sky in the vast meadow," Xiao w.a.n.gye continued his words. He smiled at me. Somehow I was annoyed to see his smile. I know that he is pretending that there are no problems that disturb his mind.

"Don't force yourself to smile," I asked frankly. Xiao w.a.n.gye raised his eyebrows for a moment. Then he smiled again.

"This wife asked w.a.n.gye not to force himself to smile," I repeated my words.

"I'm not forcing myself to smile. I really feel happy because I have a wife like Xia He. Aifei)* is very beautiful even the moon is embarra.s.sed to see your beauty," he said to me. Why does this man give me a praise? However, this time I wasn't happy to hear his compliment. I know that he is trying to change the topic of our conversation.

"Xiao Junw.a.n.gye isn't angry? They have had many unpleasant things to Junwanye. I don't accept that they hurt Junw.a.n.gye," I replied to his words without thinking. He looks surprised. Immediately I regretted talking like that.

"Angry? I'm very angry," Xiao Junw.a.n.gye answered my question. However, his voice sounded calm. I looked at him tightly. Pay attention to his expression. His expression was flat.

"Then we have to fight them! We must repay their actions to Junw.a.n.gye, "I spread my heart outright. Xiao Junw.a.n.gye sighed.

"Aifei don't say like that. If people hear, they will think that Aifei wants to make a rebellion," Xiao Junw.a.n.gye spoke softly.

"I don't like their att.i.tude to you. I can gather the Yun family to fight," I said again, but he laughed instead.

"Your father will be very angry if he hears your words now," he said after finis.h.i.+ng his laughing. I frowned. Why is my husband laughing at me.

I'm sure I can convince my family. At this time my aunt and uncle are still angry with me. But, when their anger subsided, I could influence them to obey my words. Then they can influence my father.

"I've talked like Aifei. I met your father at the time and he was angry with me because of my words, "Xiao Junw.a.n.gye spoke in a soft voice. His words confused me.

"Met my father? Are my father and Junw.a.n.gye friends?," I asked with great curiosity.

"Your father is my teacher," he answered my question. I became confused because I knew my father had never received an order from Bixia to educate his son. No one can teach a prince without orders from Bixia.

"Master Yun educates me secretly. Unbeknownst by Bixia, "Xiao Junw.a.n.gye continued his words. As he to know what I was thinking.

"Xia He," my husband said while holding out his hand so that I could get off the horse carriage easily. We just arrived at Xiao w.a.n.gfu. It's dark now.

"Thank you," I held his hand. We also walked into w.a.n.gfu. Pa.s.sing through a few rooms, Yao Mama has come to greet us. She posted a little to pay respect to both of us.

"Respect to Junw.a.n.gye and Junw.a.n.gfei," Yao Mama said.

"Junw.a.n.gye and Junw.a.n.gfei have arrived? Dinner is ready. Will Junw.a.n.gye and Junw.a.n.gfei have dinner? "Yao Mama continued her words after saluting.

"Xia He, are you hungry?" My husband asked me. I looked at my husband's face.

Actually I was reluctant to have dinner after what happened at the Palace. However, my husband smiled at me. His smile made me immediately nod my head in agreement. Why did I become weak against his smile?

"This dinner is Junw.a.n.gye's favorite food. Spicy chicken and various kinds of sauteed vegetables," Yao Mama explained about the dinner menu. However, I'm not enthusiastic about discussing food.

Since Junw.a.n.gye said that my father is his teacher. And my father educated him secretly. Since then I don't know what to say. I'm just silent.

So many things I don't know. That makes me feel uncomfortable. I feel there will be many more secrets that I will know. And I don't know why? I actually feel a little scared.

At dinner, I only eat. I don't talk. After dinner, I went straight to my room. Xiao Junw.a.n.gye says that he will go to his study for a while. I knew he gave me time to clean up and change my clothes.

After changing my clothes, I lay in bed. Not long after, Xiao Junw.a.n.gye arrived. He also changed his clothes. He did not lie on the bed immediately. He just sat on the edge of the bed.

"Aifei, are you sleepy? I want to talk with you," my husband asked me. I'm lying down, sitting down.

"I know Xia He's feelings are uncomfortable. Is Aifei angry at me?" Xiao Junw.a.n.gye asked me. I shook my head because I really wasn't angry with him.

"If so, why don't you talk much?" He asked me. I sighed.

"I'm actually still angry because of Bixia and Huanghou's att.i.tude to Junw.a.n.gye. I'm also upset with my father because he didn't talk to me before I married that he was a teacher who educated Junw.a.n.gye," I spoke quietly. He sighed and held my hand.

"Your father doesn't talk because he wants me to tell you after we get married," my husband spoke softly.

"Are there many more secrets that I don't know?" I asked hopefully if no more secret.

"Actually...," he said but did not continue his words.

"Actually?" I urged him to speak.

"Actually Bixia not only prohibits me from mentioning Huanghou as Muhou. He also forbade me to call him fù huáng (Father-Emperor), "my husband said to me. His words made me even more surprised.

"His actions were cruel," I said to him. My anger flared up again.

"Then why is my father angry with Junw.a.n.gye when you sais that you will take revenge? My father is your teacher. He should be in your side," I continued my words.

"I also thought that way. Until your father said a sad story," Xiao Junw.a.n.gye said with a sad expression.

"A sad story?"

"Everyone thought that my mother was an ordinary court servant so Bixia did not consider me and only gave me the t.i.tle of Prince of Second Rank to me because my mother's low background. However, actually my mother is not a ordinary servant," he said quietly. Then he looked at my face tightly.

"My mother is an enemy spy. She almost killed Bixia. However, when Bixia will sentence her to death, it turns out that she is pregnant with me. Therefore Bixia delayed my mother's punishment until I was born. Apparently my mother pa.s.sed away after giving birth to me," Xiao Junw.a.n.gye said to me. Explain a big secret.

"I just found out," I spoke in a low voice. I've never heard anything this big. I don't know that Xiao Junw.a.n.gye's biological mother is a spy.

"This is kept secret from people. Bixia killed everyone who knew my true mother's ident.i.ty. Besides Bixia, only your father and Yao Mama know this, "Xiao Junw.a.n.gye explained in more detail. My heart is sad to hear his words.

"If people know about this, I must be banished from the Palace and live in a remote place under close supervision. They might even ask Bixia to kill me too. However, Bixia chose to kill all who knew my mother's ident.i.ty to protect me, "Xiao Junw.a.n.gye sighed. I can see that he feels depressed.

"After hearing this story from your father, I understood why Bixia was cruel to me. Maybe every time he see me, he remembers my mother's betrayal. I am sad and angry because of his att.i.tude. However, I understand why he did it," He continued his words.

My husband looks very sad. I don't know how to comfort him. I let go of his hand. I embraces him. Hope my hug can tell him that I understand his feelings.
