I have traveled through time, who am I afraid of?

Chapter 48 A Peaceful Meal Before a Storm

Looking at her beloved son in front of her, the Queen asked softly, "When did Yu'er come back?"

"We arrived in the capital at midnight." Xiao Jingyu sat next to his mother and answered in a gentle voice.

"What's the urgent matter? Instead of taking a good rest, you rush to the capital overnight?" The Queen Mother pretended to be ignorant and asked.

The Queen was actually worried too.

He was also afraid that his beloved son would blurt out the reason why he was dissatisfied with the marriage his father had arranged for him, so he rushed back overnight.

He rushed back just to ask his father to tear up the imperial decree granting the marriage and cancel the engagement.

As a result, the Queen Mother did not hear Xiao Jingyu say such words, but heard Xiao Jingyu say: "There is nothing urgent, and I didn't want to stay outside for a night in vain, so I came back directly." Xiao Jingyu's tone was very gentle, without a trace of anger.

The Empress Dowager and Emperor Hongde, who was sitting aside and being ignored, were both stunned after hearing what Xiao Jingyu said!

There is no rush...

There was no mention of the imperial decree granting marriage...

No mention of breaking off the marriage...

What does this mean, son?

If Xiao Jingyu didn't mention it, Emperor Hongde and Empress Luan Xiying would naturally not bring it up on their own initiative.

At this time, the palace servant came over and reported: "Your Majesty, Empress, Prince, lunch is ready, Your Majesty, Empress, and Prince, please enjoy your meal!"

The Queen Mother nodded, "It just so happens that Yu'er is here, let's have lunch together with Father and Mother!"

"Yes!" Xiao Jingyu responded respectfully. As Queen Luan Xiying stood up, he still let the Queen hold his hand and walked to the table and sat down together.

Emperor Hong De also came to the table and sat down, but he was still feeling uneasy.

From the time his son came in until now, he had not mentioned the imperial decree granting the marriage, nor had he made a scene with him asking him to break off the engagement or urging him to write an imperial decree to break off the engagement. Instead, he calmly answered all the questions and even had lunch with them...

Is your son so well behaved?

What is my precious son trying to do?

Is he preparing to eat his fill and regain strength so that he can give his father, the Emperor, a big explosion?

Emperor Hong De really wanted to ask his son, how did you plan your marriage?

But I am afraid of hearing the words that I am afraid to hear.

Oh! Let's just bear this little bit of anxiety in mind and have lunch first!

The Queen Mother didn't think too much about it. She was happy that her son was back and her husband was by her side.

It would have been even better if the prince hadn't gone out of the capital for an inspection, and the family would have been reunited!

During this lunch, the Empress ate happily, Xiao Jingyu ate calmly, but Emperor Hongde had no appetite.

Emperor Hongde couldn't wait to take a sneak peek at Xiao Jingyu every time he took a bite of food. He was treating his son as a side dish!

That’s not right. This food can be eaten with rice, but when he looks at his son...he can’t eat!

The Queen Mother was so happy that she ate half a bowl of rice more when her son came back.

Emperor Hong De ate half a bowl of rice less than usual... uh...

Putting down his chopsticks, Emperor Hong De looked at his son, then looked at the fatal letter left by his son on the table beside him. He opened his mouth but ultimately did not ask.

Xiao Jingyu sat with his father, the emperor and his mother for a while and drank another cup of tea.

Putting down the teacup, Xiao Jingyu stood up, bowed to his father and mother and said, "Father, mother, I came back overnight and feel a little sleepy now. I want to go back and sleep for a while, and then come back to pay my respects to you!"

"Oh, well, I haven't slept all night, so I should be tired!

Then go to bed quickly!

You don't have to go back to Prince Yu's Mansion outside the palace. Just sleep in the palace. There's no one else in the palace anyway."

"Yes, I think so too.

Then I will take my leave from my father, the emperor and the queen." Xiao Jingyu said, bowed, and turned to walk out.

When passing by the table where the letter was placed, Xiao Jingyu picked up the letter smoothly!

Not only did he take the letter, he also tore it up as he walked!

Xiao Jingyu's action directly confused Emperor Hongde and Queen Luan Xiying!

The emperor and the empress looked at each other, then looked at the back of Xiao Jingyu who had already walked out, as if...

As Emperor Hong De and Empress Luan Xiying looked at each other, light gradually appeared in their eyes!

"not……"

"not……"

The two of them spoke at the same time.

"Could our son...could he have agreed to this marriage?

Otherwise, how can I explain my son's behavior just now?" A happy smile suddenly appeared on the face of the queen.

"Great! Great!

If Baozhen's daughter can become my daughter-in-law, I will definitely treat her like my own daughter!

That way, Baozhen in the underworld will be relieved!"

As Luan Xiying spoke, she thought of her old friend and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Baozhen met the wrong person, she has a miserable life!

Her daughter Rongyue is also a miserable child!

It is said that if there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather.

What’s more, it was that liar Qinxing Hou Leng Xian!

I will never forget the shy and happy look on Baozhen's face after she got engaged to Leng Xian, the Marquis of Qinxing.

Who would have known that Marquis Qinxing was so cold and ruthless that he deceived Baozhen's feelings and had been having an affair with his cousin Yin!

If it weren’t for that couple, Baozhen wouldn’t have gone so early!

Nor will I leave behind this poor little Rongyue!"
