C26 Swimming on the Lake.
Su Zijin subconsciously avoided this question ever since she was reborn.
If everything changed after she was reborn, then what awaited her was an unpredictable future. After experiencing it once, it was hard for her to imagine what would happen if the Su family still reached that stage this time.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her hands were tightly clenched with cold sweat.
After a long while, she came back to her senses, and the corners of her mouth rose as she laughed self-deprecatingly. She said in a low voice, "Su Zijin, when did you become so timid?" Didn't she come back to change the situation?
Su Zijin took a deep breath, and when she raised her head again, her eyes were filled with determination, and she returned to being indifferent.
No one knew her struggle, and of course, no one could feel it. She couldn't say it either, so she could only suppress everything in her heart and work hard to rewrite the ending.
...
The Mid-Autumn Festival was coming, and the Imperial Capital was bustling with noise and excitement. They even heard that the King Chen who had been away for many years had returned. This was a rare thing.
The King Chen was the first prince to be conferred the title of King, and he was conferred the title of King since he was born, but he had no fate with the throne.
The King Chen couldn't see him for many years, and he was carefree in the martial world.
After he became a princess, he even brought the princess along with him to travel around the world.
The commoners in the Imperial Capital were always curious about the King Chen.
"The King Chen is back!"
"Is he specially back for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
"It shouldn't be, right?"
“Didn’t I hear that King Chen and the Emperor don’t get along? Why did he come back for this?”
“Maybe he’s tired of playing!”
“That’s right! But King Chen has been like this since the Deceased Emperor was alive. It’s not surprising now, is it?”
“Who is King Chen?”
“King Chen is that…”
There were all sorts of gossip in the small tea house.
There were a few people sitting at the table near the window. They all had extraordinary appearances.
A handsome girl sat beside a man in white. His frown added a bit of coldness to her. The man put some food into her bowl and smiled, “Look, I haven’t been back to the capital for a long time. When I came back, I attracted everyone’s attention!”
“You still have the nerve to say that? Didn’t I tell you to keep quiet?”
“My husband also wants to keep a low profile, but I don’t know who spread the news!”
“We don’t even get to see each other on a daily basis, but these two people are very concerned about you.” The girl raised her eyebrows and felt even angrier.
The two girls and one man were only focused on eating. The master and the maid were quarrelling almost every day, so it was normal. If they were to be persuaded, they would die even more miserably. In the end, there was only one word to describe it.
Jealousy!
The couple, King Chen and his personal guards and maid, had just returned.
Perhaps it was because they had not appeared for a long time, but the few of them were watching the drama in the corner and listening to their gossip. No one noticed them.
King Chen didn’t care about the others. How could he know that he had caused so many rumors just by coming back? His wife had gotten angry and was anxious to coax him.
“I have a consort to take care of. They have nothing to do with me.” He tried his best to hold back the food he liked and coaxed her softly. His desire to live was 100%. “After eating, we still need to go to the palace. Since everyone knows about it, we have to go to the palace.”
Hearing that, the consort finally calmed down and ate.
Seeing that she had calmed down, the smile on Chong Yuechen’s face deepened and he sighed.
What could he do if he married a jealous consort? Of course, he could only coax her!
When the three people next to them saw that the two of them were holding back their laughter, they couldn’t stop smiling.
As he said, the palace now knew that Prince Chen was coming back.
The Emperor naturally knew as well, but he didn’t say much. If he really came back, he would probably enter the palace today or tomorrow.
