The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1957

Chapter 1957: Chapter 975: Jealousy (Xinyang vs. Xiao Ji, Extra) (Part 2)

As long as this man doesn’t speak, he is unquestionably the most elegant and noble handsome man in Zhan Country.

He turned his head to look at Princess Xinyang, smiled faintly, and said, "Get in the carriage."

Princess Xinyang still didn’t look at him, her tone indifferent as she said, "I have my own carriage."

Xiao Ji glanced towards her carriage and said, "Are you sure?"

Princess Xinyang furrowed her brows in confusion and turned to look at her carriage, nearly choking on anger at what she saw!

Long Yi’s charcoal pencil had rolled under the wheel, and to retrieve it, Long Yi had directly taken off the wheel of the carriage...

Xiao Ji calmly stated, "Or you can ride in Chang Jing’s carriage if you prefer."

Just at that moment, Chang Jing arrived driving a majestic carriage.

Princess Xinyang wordlessly got on that carriage.

She had just sat down when the curtain of the carriage was lifted. She thought it was Yujin, but upon closer inspection, it was actually Xiao Ji!

Princess Xinyang’s face fell: "Don’t you have your own carriage?"

Xiao Ji grinned: "This is my carriage."

Princess Xinyang coldly replied, "You just said it was Chang Jing’s!"

Xiao Ji sat down beside her, lazily dusting off his robe, and said, "It’s mine too."

Princess Xinyang didn’t want to deal with him anymore!

The people at the post station were skilled at judging the situation; whether she was the real princess or not, the fact that she could ride with Marquis Xuanping meant she couldn’t be offended.

They hurriedly arranged a new carriage for Yujin.

Long Yi didn’t need a carriage; he leapt across rooftops.

The carriages at the border pass may have looked fierce, but that didn’t mean they were luxurious inside.

The carriage didn’t even have a charcoal brazier. Cold wind entered through the unclosable windows, making Princess Xinyang’s hands and feet icy cold. She tightened her cape around her shoulders with raised hands.

Xiao Ji handed her a warm hand muff.

"No," she said.

Xiao Ji took back the hand muff without any change in emotion, as if her indifference and refusal were the most normal things in the world to him.

The carriage fell silent.

Princess Xinyang was still upset, and after walking for a while, remembered she hadn’t said where she wanted to go and asked, "Where are we going?"

"To the military camp," Xiao Ji replied.

"I want to return to the Capital City," Princess Xinyang said flatly.

Xiao Ji leisurely leaned against the window behind him, gave her a playful glance, and teasingly said, "What’s wrong? Feeling aggrieved? Just now you were pretty fierce when bullying people, weren’t you?"

Princess Xinyang glared at him coldly.

Xiao Ji squinted and said, "Qin Fengwan, can I interpret your behavior now as... jealousy?"

Princess Xinyang rebutted without thinking, "I am not! Who would be jealous of you? Whoever you marry or provoke outside is none of my business!"

Xiao Ji raised an eyebrow: "Oh."

Princess Xinyang turned her face away, looking cold.

Afterwards, neither of them spoke again, leaving the carriage silent except for the howling cold wind.

Xiao Ji was thinner than when he was in the Capital City, his lips somewhat pale.

The scroll sent back to the Capital City didn’t mention how difficult this battle was, but since they had reached the point of negotiating peace, Princess Xinyang understood that the military officers at the border pass must have endured terrifying exhaustion and warfare.

Xiao Ji... had he been hurt?

As they traveled, snow began to fall, and Princess Xinyang worried about Yujin. She lifted the carriage curtain to look back and saw not only Yujin’s carriage but also Little Princess Dongyi’s.

The words "Are you hurt?" that she was about to say were swallowed back.

The heavy snow slowed their progress, the journey of one time unit took until nightfall.

The convoy stopped at the gates of the military camp.

Chang Jing jumped down from the carriage: "We’re here!"

Xiao Ji looked at Princess Xinyang, seeming to wait for her to disembark first.

Princess Xinyang didn’t move: "You get off first."
