A life of two souls traveling through time

On the second day, the news that Prince Zong left the palace in anger because Princess Zong danced the Hu Xuan dance in front of Prince Zong on their wedding night spread throughout Kyoto. In an instant, the new Princess Zong became the laughing stock of the whole city, and those who were jealous of her yesterday began to gloat over her misfortune.

"I never thought that the ruler of Guyun country would raise such a stupid and ignorant daughter." This incident shocked the whole city and naturally reached the ears of Emperor Yan. Emperor Yan was so angry that he slammed the sacred table. A princess learned to be a dancer on her wedding night, which really brought shame to the royal family.

"Where is the prince?" After calming down, Emperor Yan asked the old eunuch Qin beside him.

"Your Majesty, Prince Zong went to Yiying Temple last night." Eunuch Qin replied.

"This matter has become known to the whole city, but he has kept his composure!" Emperor Yan looked displeased, and then suddenly revealed a gloomy face and continued: "This matter that damages the reputation of the royal family was allowed to be spread. What does he mean by this?"

Eunuch Qin standing by was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and dared not say another word.

When Crown Prince Yan Qiao and King Yan Han heard the rumors about their brother, one was extremely worried and sighed repeatedly, while the other laughed for a long time and finally said sarcastically: "How can my outstanding brother be paired with a fool?"

In the Prince Zong's mansion, as the Prince Zong left, Nan Rong Liang Ling smashed and hit things and cried all night long. The servants and maids in the mansion were miserable. They could never have imagined that the prince who was praised by everyone outside would marry such a rude and unreasonable princess.

At this time, the bridal chamber was already a mess. Nan Rong Liang Ling smashed everything that should be smashed and shouldn't be smashed. Nan Rong Liang Ling's maid came in with a bowl of bird's nest. She tiptoed to avoid the debris on the ground and came to the bed. She looked at the princess lying on the bed with a pair of red and swollen eyes staring at her. She felt distressed and tears flowed again:

"Princess, would you like something to eat?"

"Buna, why is this happening? Didn't my sister-in-law say that to capture a man's heart, you have to please him? He praised my Hu Xuan dance before, and I... I thought he liked watching me dance... Woo woo..." Seeing that it was her maid, Nan Rong Liangling started crying again in grievance.

"Princess, you are already the legitimate wife of the prince. He will never drive you out of the palace. There is a long way to go. You can't cry now. The most urgent thing is to get enough rest first, then apologize to the prince and ease the relationship." The maid took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from Nan Rong Liangling's face and comforted her patiently.

"Yes, there is a long time to come. The prince and I have just started. There is still time for everything." After being reminded by the maid, Nan Rong Liangling also came to her senses. She hurriedly sat up and drank all the bird's nest in front of her. She wanted to get her spirits back before going to find the prince.

At Yiying Temple outside of Shangjing City, Yan Zong quietly held three incense sticks and worshipped in front of the spirit tablet of his mother. In this huge capital city, only this place could calm his heart.

E Li, who was waiting on the side, looked at His Highness with deep worry. She had cried for most of the night last night, crying for His Highness and for the late Queen. She even resented Emperor Yan even more in her heart. The Queen died of depression because of him. His Highness had gone through life and death outside since he was a child and had made many contributions to the Xiyue Kingdom. Yet he was so cruel to make His Highness a tool for political marriage and married such a woman.

"Nurse, you have worked very hard these days. You have nothing to do today, so take a good rest." After offering incense to his mother, Yan Zong turned to the old woman beside him and spoke gently.

"Your Highness, what should we do after such a mess?" Eli frowned and sighed as she looked at Yan Zong.

"It's a political marriage, even if there is a lot of trouble, the one in the temple has the final say." Yan Zong looked out the window expressionlessly and sneered.

"Having said that, Your Highness..." Eli still felt aggrieved about Your Highness' marriage.

"Your Highness, Eunuch Qin is here." At this time, Yu Cheng reported outside the door.

There was a hint of coldness in Yan Zong's deep eyes. He didn't expect that the palace's reaction would be faster than he expected.

"My son, I bow to my father."

Yan Zong followed Eunuch Qin into the imperial study and knelt before Emperor Yan.

At this time, Emperor Yan pursed his lips tightly, looking as cold as ice, and the chill all over his body made people tremble with fear. Although Yan Zong was kneeling, he stood straight. He felt a pair of sharp eyes examining him but he was not afraid at all. Instead, he felt a sense of pride in resisting power. The imperial study seemed calm and silent, but in fact, the father and son were secretly competing. Eunuch Qin, who was waiting on the side, looked solemn and anxious. He didn't know whether he should leave or stay.

"Shouldn't you explain to me?" Emperor Yan looked at his son kneeling on the ground with a stubborn look on his face and thought of his mother. He sighed inwardly, after all, it was his youngest son whom he owed the most.

"What happened last night was caused by me making a big fuss out of nothing. I deliberately escalated the incident and let the whole city know about it." Seeing his father compromise first, Yan Zong felt inexplicably happy as if he had won a battle. His tense body slowly relaxed, his eyes still lowered, and his blunt answer sounded like a complete provocation in Emperor Yan's ears.

"How dare you! How can a dignified prince be so willful and not care about the royal family's reputation at all!" Emperor Yan was furious. He slammed the table and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The dragon's health is the most important!" Eunuch Qin at the side was so scared that he knelt on the ground and advised in a low voice.

"It is the daughter-in-law chosen by your father, not me, who has brought shame to the royal family." Yan Zong had a cold face. He looked up at the angry eyes of Emperor Yan and continued in a provocative tone: "If she dares to dance the Hu Xuan dance in front of me, I will make her a laughing stock in the city. On the surface, she is embarrassing me, but this marriage was granted by your father himself. Others will eventually understand that your father's vision in choosing daughters-in-law has deteriorated, or..."

“Shut up!” Before Yan Zong could finish his words, he was stopped by Yan Huang in a stern voice.

The imperial study fell into deathly silence once again. Emperor Yan's face was ashen, and the anger in his eyes seemed to burst out at any time. Although Yan Zong had a cold face, his heart was as calm as water, as if he was ready for the coming storm.

"What? Third brother offended father?" In the Prince's Mansion, Yan Qiao was shocked when he learned about the situation in the imperial study. His slender phoenix eyes frowned. Third brother has always been steady in doing things, why did he become impulsive after getting married?

"I think it's because of what happened last night. Your Highness, don't worry. After all, they are father and son, and nothing serious can happen to them. It's better to send someone to investigate first." The graceful and elegant Crown Princess Rong gently comforted her anxious and worried husband.

"Go and find out more, and come back to report if there is any situation." Yan Qiao nodded gently to the Crown Princess and instructed the eunuch outside the door.

The eunuch responded and rushed to the imperial study without stopping.

Half an hour later, the eunuch returned to the Prince's Mansion and reported: Prince Zong was punished by the Emperor to copy Buddhist scriptures a hundred times in Yiying Temple, and then return to Prince Zong's Mansion to reflect on his mistakes.

After hearing this painless punishment, Prince Yan Qiao felt relieved.
