The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

Chapter 373: Book, taken upside down

"They are slandering us. How could my sister-in-law not be the daughter of Prime Minister Shang?" He Yunyi said loudly, "Father must arrest them all to serve as a warning to others."

"What they said is true. I am indeed not Shangnian's daughter."

After Shang Ruoyi finished speaking, the main hall fell silent.

Shaoyao stood aside, twisting her handkerchief with her fingers, secretly observing the expressions on Prince Ding and Princess Ding's faces.

After a while, Prince Ding finally found his voice and said in disbelief, "Is what you said true?"

Shang Ruoyi nodded: "My daughter-in-law is indeed not Shangnian's daughter. I already knew this when I was exiled."

At this moment, there was a "pop" sound, and Prince Ding slammed heavily on the table. He stood up suddenly, his face flushed, and said loudly: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Shang Ruoyi was stunned: "My daughter-in-law thought that you wouldn't care about these things." And didn't He Jingheng already know about it?

Shang Ruoyi thought he was quite disgusted with her background, but suddenly she heard a hearty laugh in her ears: "Hahahahaha!"

Princess Ding slapped him hard and said, "You're going to scare me to death."

"Good, good, good! That's great!" Prince Ding laughed loudly, "It's great that you are not of the Shang family. Otherwise, how can I explain to my ancestors a hundred years from now? If He Jingheng marries a girl from the Shang family, I'm afraid I will be beaten to death by my ancestors. It doesn't matter what bloodline it is, as long as it's not from the Shang family."

Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but laugh secretly. If he knew that she was the biological daughter of the King of Western Region City, who knows what would happen.

He Yunyi, who was standing aside, finally felt relieved. She had thought that her father would dislike her because of her sister-in-law's background.

He Jingheng also received the news in the military camp.

"Prince, I don't know where this news came from, but it spread all over the streets and alleys overnight. Now the Crown Prince's wife has become a laughing stock among the people of the capital."

He Jingheng's face darkened slightly: "What did they say?"

"Some people say that the Crown Prince's Concubine's birth father is unlucky and her origin is unknown, so she is not worthy of being the Crown Prince's principal wife. Others speculate that the Crown Prince's Concubine's birth mother has low moral character and had an affair with the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion, which is why she gave birth to the Crown Prince's Concubine. There are even more unpleasant things, so I'd better not say them, so as not to pollute the Crown Prince's ears."

He Jingheng looked at the paper in his hand. Such a quick and careful plan allowed the news to spread throughout the capital in the shortest time. The only ones who could do these things and had grudges against Shang Ruoyi were none other than those few families.

"Go check the source of this news quickly."

"Yes."

He Jingheng thought about it, stood up and prepared to walk out of the tent.

"Prince, are you going to the general's tent? Several lieutenants are waiting for you to discuss matters."

"No, go back home."

Upon hearing this, Yuntian suddenly realized that in the eyes of the prince, nothing was as important as the prince's wife.

When the deputy generals heard that he had suddenly returned to the palace, they couldn't help but ask, "Did anything happen in the palace?"

Yuntian smiled and said, "It's about the Crown Prince's Consort."

Crown Princess?

It is really rare that their prince would be tripped by a woman one day.

One of the deputy generals' eyes flickered slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

He Jingheng returned home and went straight to their yard.

Shang Ruoyi is studying Dongzhu jewelry and has drawn dozens of drawings, preparing to have skilled craftsmen make them according to the drawings.

"What are you doing?" He Jingheng saw her serious look from afar and couldn't bear to disturb her. He waited until she put down her pen before he asked.

"I didn't do anything, just drew some little things." Shang Ruoyi put away the drawings and couldn't help asking, "Why did you come back? Didn't you say it would take at least half a month?"

"I just want to eat the food you cook." He Jingheng looked at her with deep eyes.

"I'll go see what's in the kitchenette and make you two side dishes to try."

"it is good."

He Jingheng didn't look away until her figure disappeared around the corner.

Looking at the writing brushes and ink on the table, he couldn't help but smile at himself. Hearing the news, he was worried that she would get stuck in a rut, so he hurried back from the barracks. But she was fine, as if the person being talked about by the whole capital was not her, and she was not affected at all, and was painting leisurely here.

He couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. At this point he had to admit that his life was ruined by this girl.

Shang Ruoyi cooked several dishes and specially fried some clam meat. The clam meat tasted really delicious and she loved eating it very much recently.

In addition, she also took out the pickled cucumbers in the space.

"what is this?"

"This is pickled vegetable. Although it's not valuable, it's crisp and delicious." She picked up a piece for him and said, "If you like it, you can take it to the barracks. You can eat it whenever you want. You don't have to go through all this trouble today."

He Jingheng paused while eating and couldn't help but curse inwardly, "You little heartless one."

He just said casually that he wanted to eat her food. He stretched out his hand and pinched her face lightly: "You! You are such an ungrateful person!"

Shang Ruoyi curled the corners of her lips slightly, but smiled without saying a word.

After dinner, He Jingheng did not leave, but went to her room and started reading a book.

"Don't you have to go back to the barracks tonight?"

"Ah."

Shang Ruoyi didn't say much after hearing this and continued to draw on the table.

After a while, a pile of them was already in front of her: "These should be enough for the opening."

Her eyes fell on the book in He Jingheng's hand and she couldn't help laughing.

He Jingheng looked at her in confusion: "What are you laughing at?"

"The book is held upside down."

what?

He Jingheng's eyes finally fell on the book, and he touched the tip of his nose awkwardly: "Recently, this prince has been trying to read it backwards."

"I see. The prince's hobbies are really unique." She yawned, "I'm going to sleep."

"Ah."

He Jingheng did not move, his eyes still on the book.

After a while, the sound of even breathing came from the bed.

He Jingheng put down the book, walked to the bed, and looking at Shang Ruoyi who was already sleeping soundly. He gently lifted the quilt and lay down in it, fearing to wake her up.

He put his arms around her and held her in his arms. At this moment, Shang Ruoyi turned over, found a comfortable position in his arms and continued to fall asleep.

There was a hint of helplessness in He Jingheng's eyes. Was he just looking for trouble because he had nothing better to do?

He tightened his arms around her slightly, and the person in his arms uttered a slight whimper of discomfort. He Jingheng quickly loosened his arms. For him, this night was probably more difficult than torture.

Before dawn, He Jingheng was ready to return to the military camp. He gave Shang Ruoyi a kiss on the head and left in a hurry.

Shang Ruoyi just felt that she had a refreshing sleep.

When I got up, I didn't see He Jingheng, and the bed next to me was cold. I guess he must have been gone for a long time.
