Spring in the Brocade Tent

Song Jinyan had been in love with Ji Jing for half her life, giving him everything she had and helping him reclaim his kingdom. But the first thing he did after ascending the throne was exile her parents and elder brother to the southern borderlands.

At last, Song Jinyan’s heart died. She plotted to escape the palace, but Ji Jing came clinging after her again...

Ji Jing flung his sleeve. “Wen Ruzhu is such a scheming little green tea! All she does is pretend to be weak to get A Jin’s attention!”

Li Deyuan: “Yes, yes, exactly!”

Ji Jing: “There isn’t a single decent person in the Wen family!”

Li Deyuan: “Yes, yes, exactly!”

Ji Jing was about to smash his teacup when he caught sight of a lotus-colored skirt in the corner of his eye. His expression changed, and he clutched his chest, feigning weakness. “Lately, I’ve often had heart pains. The imperial physician says it’s because I’m lovesick...”

Li Deyuan: “...!”

Song Jinyan stared blankly at him. “...What kind of ridiculous storybooks have you been reading lately...!”
