Chapter 318: An Eternal Secret
She just couldn’t believe it; could she really not manage to bind even Han Jing?
On February 18th, because it was the Emperor’s birthday, which was a significant event, Su Yaogeng entered the Imperial Palace early. Han Jing was almost five months pregnant, and Su Yaogeng was concerned for her. Therefore, before she married Su Yu, he firmly did not allow her to wander around, even if she wouldn’t get hurt, afraid someone might bump into her.
Moreover, with so many recent rumors in the Capital City, Su Yaogeng subconsciously did not want Han Jing to hear them.
As a result, Han Jing had been almost holed up in Chenyu Pavilion every day lately, nearly growing moldy.
Fortunately, An Chuxue was there to keep her company, and Su Yaogeng would visit her every day. However, Su Yu seemed to have truly vanished, as there had been no news of him for nearly a month. According to An Chuxue, Yun Feng said Su Yu had work to do and was indeed not in the Capital City recently.
The rumors outside, Han Jing just took them as jokes to listen to.
But it must be said, in this matter, she was indeed a bit too confident. She believed that no matter how much He Yanxin stirred up trouble, it wouldn’t reach her. Besides, she wasn’t afraid of He Yanxin in the slightest, so she simply didn’t take He Yanxin seriously.
Su Yaogeng entered the palace, An Chuxue went to Yao Xiang Pavilion, and on this day, Chenyu Pavilion only had Han Jing present. Even Dongbao and Bo He were left for Uncle Xu by Han Jing to train properly. After all, Dongbao’s few basic skills did indeed need some practice.
Mu Jin, on the other hand, went to the palace with Su Yaogeng and Aunt Xi. Su Yaogeng wanted Mu Jin to gain more handling abilities and methods, so he would take her along whenever there was an opportunity to learn more.
Han Jing had just finished her lunch when a servant reported that Su Xingqiao had arrived.
Han Jing was somewhat surprised. Since they parted ways during the Lantern Festival, it was the first time Su Xingqiao had come to see her.
Actually, it wasn’t that Su Xingqiao didn’t come to see her, but after that day, he learned about the marriage between Han Jing and Su Yu.
If Su Xingqiao initially didn’t understand Han Jing’s place in his heart, then knowing what Han Jing had gone through, including her marrying Su Yu, how could he not realize that Han Jing was truly important to him?
But before he got a chance to discover that infatuation, it had become an everlasting secret.
The only close childhood playmate and friend was to marry the person he respected the most. Although somewhat awkward in terms of identity, he was genuinely happy for Han Jing. Because in his heart, no man added up would compare to his Imperial Uncle Su Yu, and for the woman he cherished the most to marry the man he respected the most was a rare fortunate event.
He sincerely blessed them, but to him, he would eventually need some time to digest this matter. However, he wasn’t someone who dwelled on things. No matter how identities changed in the future, in his heart, Han Jing would always be the person he wanted to protect. His good friend, good little sister, and he would always be her Brother Qiao. As long as she needed, he would always stand by her side.
He wasn’t really familiar with anyone in the Capital City. Today was the father’s birthday banquet; he was supposed to enter the palace early since there were many affairs today, and as a Prince, he was expected to help with the preparations. However, on the one hand, he had some aversion to the Imperial Palace and would avoid going unless necessary.
On the other hand...
