Xi Ying didn't like the second Prince's attitude but he knew that Li Rui would not want to leave Yi Huiqing alone.
He had seen that Li Rui treasured her relationship with her sister when Li Rui had come to meet her in the Imperial Palace.
Remembering Yi Huiqing's condition when they had met her, there was infinitesimal guilt in his heart because it was him only who had suggested to the Emperor that he should decree the marriage between Yi Clan's daughter and an Imperial Prince.
He would not have felt anything about this matter if Yi Huiqing was not Li Rui's sister but since she was and he had heard that she had accompanied Li Rui for the most part of her childhood even after Li Rui was banned from the place, he knew that what he did was wrong.
But he can't do anything to right it now.
Yi Huiqing was already married, that too, with an Imperial Prince.
What he could do was to make sure that she would never be wronged by anyone in the Imperial Palace in the future, not even by her husband.
He could pull some strings and solidified her children's position in the Imperial Court if she had any in the future..
These were the only things he could do.
But now looking at the sulking face of the second Prince when his wangfei looked reluctant to enter the banquet hall with him, he felt that something was different from his expectations.
Zhao Zhang Wei seemed to have some feelings for Yi Huiqing in his heart...but it was only a guess.
Tsk…even if he has feelings for Yi Huiqing then he believes that Zhao Zhang Wei won't be able to win Yi Huiqing's heart with the attitude he has.
He had seen how exhausted the young woman looked at the moment when Li Rui had revealed to her she was poisoned.
Since it was only a guess, Xi Ying didn't ponder on it much.
He walked to Li Rui and held her hand.
It was Yi Huiqing who moved to stand beside the second Prince with an indifferent face and soon Xi Ying and Li Rui stood beside them, with Xi Ying standing beside Zhao Zhang Wei and then Li Rui standing beside him.
Xi Ying noticed the Prince looking at his and Li Rui's joined hands coldly.
This time he took it in an opposite manner.
Was he annoyed that Yi Huiqing didn't hold his hand?
Sure enough, the next moment Xi Ying saw Zhao Zhang Wei looking down at Yi Huiqing's hand.
Yi Huiqing who was maintaining a polite smile on her lips froze when she felt a sudden touch on her hand. It was a hesitant touch. She looked at the man walking beside her but he didn't have any expression on his face.
She was about to take her hand back but it seemed that he had already predicted her move because the next moment he held the same hand tightly in his own.
The hold was no longer hesitant but firm.
Looking at the gates that were coming closer, she pursued her lips and continued walking as if nothing happened.
Realizing this, Zhao Zhang Wei breathed a sigh of relief but his relief was not for long as he soon heard an annoying voice from his sideways.
"It seems that Your Highness also likes to eat vinegar."
Xi Ying threw the same words on Zhao Zhang Wei which were thrown on him with a smirk. His words were said in a low voice so that Li Rui could not hear him.
Zhao Zhang Wei ignored him as he just wanted to relish the fact that he was close to Yi Huiqing after so many days.
The Imperial guards looked at the group of four and hurriedly announced.
"Welcoming the second Prince and his Princess Consort, Prime Minister Xi and his wangfei to the royal banquet."
And the four people stepped inside the banquet hall.
The large hall seemed to have quieted down as soon as the Imperial guard finished the announcement. Women looked at each other with their eyebrows raised in surprise. Their eyes were filled with doubts.
Did they hear it right?
Prime Minister Xi's wangfei would also attend today's banquet?
The whole Imperial City knew that this wangfei of Minister Xi was none other than General Li's daughter who had made herself very popular with her some unmentionable acts.
Li Rui and General Li devised a very daring scheme so that Li Rui can marry Lord Xi. It was something that everyone present in the Imperial banquet knew.
But after marrying Xi Manor, she never showed her face in any public event.
How could she still have the courage to show herself in such an event? And even if she has, why did Prime Minister Xi allow her to come out knowing his wangfei's vicious mind?
Then how exactly she managed to attend today's banquet!
Could it be that the Imperial guard made a mistake while announcing the arrival of Prime Minister Xi? The curiosity drove their eyes towards the entrance
Every single person inside the banquet hall was now looking towards the entrance.
But as soon as their sight fell on the two couples that had entered the hall together, their eyes widened with awe.
Gasps were heard in the banquet hall.
The two men standing in the middle attracted many maiden's attention. Even the married women couldn't help but blush.
Dressed in dark green colored robes, the cold Prime Minister had an indifferent expression on his face. As if nothing could move him in this world. However, it only made him look more ethereal.
And standing beside him was the second Prince who had a polite smile on his lips. The handsome prince looked gentle but distant at the same time. But he could still successfully made any woman's heart flutter with just a single glance of his phoenix eyes.
However, their thoughts came to an abrupt halt when their eyes fell on the two women who were standing beside the two men.
They looked very…beautiful.
As much as it was difficult to accept, it was true that the Princess in her blue dress looked very pretty. No one could find any fault as she stood beside the Prince who was dressed in blue robes. They matched each other really well.
Everyone moved their eyes to the next couple.
A very beautiful woman in a light green dress was standing next to the young and cold Prime Minister.
'Is it really General Li's daughter?'
A maiden asked in a low voice as envy flashed in her eyes.
'Hmph! Everyone in the City says the truth. She is truly a beauty. However, what use was the beauty of when she couldn't even stir her husband's heart because of her vicious heart.'
'In the end, it was one's deed that truly matters.'
