Xiao Changyi ignored Linghe entirely and sat on the ground with An Jing. Then, he pulled out a small packet of peanuts from his bosom and began shelling them for An Jing to eat.
Seeing Xiao Changyi treat An Jing so well made Linghe even more jealous, her heart brimming with sourness.
While An Jing leisurely enjoyed the peanuts Xiao Changyi peeled for her, she slowly smiled and said, "Commandery Princess, did you not return to the Capital just to tell my husband this? Even the Emperor wouldn't say this to my husband."
How could she compare herself to the Emperor? Linghe was immediately frightened into performing a gesture of apology, "It was Linghe who overstepped her bounds, I hope the Prince can forgive me!"
Xiao Changyi still paid no heed to Linghe and continued to shell peanuts, offering them to An Jing.
Peanuts can make one's mouth dry; after eating two more peanuts, An Jing then said, "Husband, I'm thirsty."
