The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1025

Chapter 1025: Chapter 863, Leaving Beijing

At the city gate, the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Fifth Prince came to see them off. Their main purpose was to bid farewell to Gu Jian, knowing the Emperor’s respect for Gu Jian, they naturally wanted to perform well.

Watching the distant carriages, the Crown Prince murmured, "This time Xiao Yeyang is going to Xiliang, it seems he won’t return for ten or eight years."

The Fourth Prince frowned, "Father values Xiao Yeyang highly; he won’t let him stay on the frontier forever."

The Second Prince sneered, "Though Father values him, don’t forget why Xiao Yeyang was demoted to Xiliang. If he wants to return, the ministers in the court won’t agree."

The Fifth Prince also spoke up, "It’s his own fault for being too ostentatious before. Last year, when he led the Jinling Guard to investigate the Eight Princes Party, he offended so many people. Although most of them deserved it, in this Beijing, which family doesn’t have some marital connections? There are plenty of people who hate Xiao Yeyang."

The princes shook their heads with sighs and prepared to return to the Prince Residence.

Regarding the Yan Family beside them, they merely nodded without any further pleasantries.

In their view, Prince Ping, who usually didn’t manage affairs, and the Yan Family, who lacked Xiao Yeyang’s support, couldn’t achieve much.

"Yexuan, let’s go together."

The Crown Prince enthusiastically beckoned Xiao Yexuan.

The old Prince did not come to the farewell because he was involved in impeaching Xiao Yeyang; he only sent Xiao Yexuan over.

Xiao Yexuan glanced at the nearby carriage and declined with a smile, "I have to see off Xirong and Naixin."

Hearing this, the Crown Prince did not persuade further and left with the Second Prince and others.

Xiao Yexuan bade farewell to Yan Zhigao and Madam Li, then left with Wu Xirong and Kang Naixin.

On the Yan Family’s side, Yan Zhigao and Madam Li didn’t pay much attention to the attitude of the princes, as they had never intended to get involved in the princes’ affairs.

However, the expressions of the three sons-in-law changed somewhat.

Having grown up in the Capital, they knew all too well the difference between having a supporter and not.

The husbands of Yan Yihuan and Yan Yishuang were still fine, one was still focused on his studies not rushing into the official career, and one was already working at the Hanlin Academy, not placing their future completely on others. They weren’t too disappointed about Xiao Yeyang’s demotion.

But it was different for Yan Yile’s husband, Feng Shuo’s face darkened as soon as he got on the carriage.

He was no longer young; his elder brother had already secured a position, yet he remained idle at home.

His father, a noble yet stubborn man, though serving as a priest in the Imperial College, hadn’t made many connections over the years. He had no way to seek a good position.

Marrying Yan Yile was a decision he made after much consideration. Although the Yan Family had just entered Beijing and was not well-established, they had the backing of Prince Ping’s Residence. With this relation to the Prince Residence, and a bit of effort on his part, securing a substantial position in one of the Six Ministries seemed feasible.

Now, all was but idle talk. Not only could he not secure a position, but he also had to be careful not to be implicated by the Yan Family.

Yan Yile didn’t notice Feng Shuo’s gloomy face; in fact, she wasn’t paying attention at all, just reveling in the fact that her imperious elder sister was going to live a hard life in Xiliang.

"Elder sister now truly experiences joy turning to sorrow. Old Lord Gu was granted the title of Assistant National Duke, and he doesn’t even give us a glance, looking down on us like dogs. It’s only been a few days, and now she’s been demoted to Xiliang, truly deserved."

"That place, Xiliang, I’ve heard about it; they say it’s bitter. It’s right for elder sister to suffer a bit, to stop her from always acting so superior and lording over us sisters."

"I always said, how could fate be so unfair, letting her have all the good things? What’s the use of marrying into the Prince Residence, she is still..."

"Shut up!"
