Chapter 142 She is...even more attractive
"Thank you, aunt."
Xie Yao retracted her gaze and thanked Princess Yongle. Originally, His Highness was going to give such instructions, but as Princess Yongle was the elder, the effect would naturally be better.
The eldest princess arrived just in time.
The princess glanced at Xie Yao, her eyes falling on her bulging belly. "It's cold outside, let's go in first."
Pei Chen winked at the two of them as he passed by them.
He has helped today, and it is only right to reciprocate... The Crown Princess must remember his kindness.
Xiao Ji helped Xie Yao onto the carriage.
Finally, Xiao Hong was the only one left standing in front of the palace gate. He walked towards the carriage and took his eyes off Xiao Ji and Xie Yao's carriage.
He licked his lips and lowered his eyes slightly to hide the desire and madness in them.
Xie Yao looks...
Even more tempting.
It gets dark early in winter, so the lights in the palace were lit early and the banquet finally began.
The battle for the throne was fierce in the early years. After Princess Yongle supported His Majesty to ascend the throne, there were only a few remaining princes left, and they were all sent to their fiefdoms.
Therefore, the number of people at the family dinner was not large.
The emperor sat at the top, with the seat belonging to the empress empty. On the right was Princess Yongle, and below were Xiao Ji and a group of princes and princesses.
Next to Xie Yao sat Xiao Ning, and below them were Hu Yanyuan, Xiao Hong...
Sitting on the left are Concubine Shu and other palace concubines.
The sound of stringed instruments gradually rose in the hall, making it very lively.
Xiao Ning held up a glass of wine and looked at Xie Yao with a smile, "Sister-in-law, Happy New Year."
What Xie Yao had in front of her was not wine. She raised her glass and clinked it with Xiao Ning's. "Happy New Year."
Xiao Ning drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
His eyes moved down to Xie Yao's waist, "Is the emperor's sister-in-law going to give birth soon?"
"Yes." Xie Yao smiled faintly and asked, "It's been a while since the princess and her husband got married, why is there still no good news?"
Xie Yao knew that it was impossible for Xiao Ning to have Hu Yanyuan's child, and for the time being she would not have anyone else's child.
She did it on purpose.
Xiao Ning said casually: "Maybe it's not our destiny yet."
Are those men... worthy of her bearing children?
The look she gave Xie Yao's abdomen was filled with pity.
What a pity, I tried so many times but failed...
"I heard that the Emperor's sister-in-law and Miss Xie San had an argument at the palace gate today?" Xiao Ning asked again, looking at Xie Yao with some inquiry in his eyes.
Xie Yao's words today naturally reached her ears.
Did Xie Yao...guess something?
"I'm sorry to make a fool of myself, the princess." Xie Yao could not hide the disgust in her eyes, as if she disliked Xie Yuru very much.
"Yaoyao."
Xiao Ning wanted to say more, but Xiao Ji brought a bowl of bird's nest to Xie Yao and said, "Use something first."
Xie Yao withdrew her gaze, smiled faintly at Xiao Ji, took the bird's nest and started eating it in small bites.
The bird's nest that Xiao Ji could send to her must have been checked thoroughly to make sure there was no problem.
Xiao Ning had no choice but to swallow the words that were on the tip of her tongue. She turned her eyes away, stood up and walked towards Princess Yongle.
The bird's nest is at just the right temperature.
Xie Yao had just taken two sips when she noticed a pair of eyes on her——
She looked up.
It is in the direction of Concubine Shu and Concubine Li.
Many people looked at her today, even the emperor at the top of the table looked at her frequently. But the look just now...
Be different.
Today's family dinner went smoothly and nothing unexpected happened.
As it was getting late and it was snowing heavily, Xie Yao and Xiao Ji stayed in the palace.
The palace was still decorated the same as last time, but it had obviously been tidied up again. As soon as I entered the palace, I felt a warm feeling.
Xie Yao gave Zhu Qing and others a holiday and let them go to the side hall to play.
"Yaoyao."
Xiao Ji had a small box in his hand and placed it in front of Xie Yao. "I have prepared a New Year's gift for you."
Um?
Xie Yao was somewhat looking forward to it.
She opened the box and was immediately shocked.
In the box...
There was a dagger.
Xie Yao's expression was a little weird for a moment. The gift sent by His Highness was really... unique.
It was totally unexpected for her.
Xiao Ji did not explain too much, only said: "This dagger is called Blowing Snow, it can cut iron like mud, Yaoyao may keep it for self-defense."
he……
There is always a time when I am not by Xie Yao's side.
The New Year is coming.
His Yaoyao accompanied him for a year.
But the time he could spend with Yaoyao... was reduced by one year.
Every day is a countdown.
Xie Yao picked up the dagger. The sheath looked plain, but it felt very textured. She pulled it out slightly, and the dagger reflected a sharp cold light.
A strand of her hair fell, scratched the dagger and fell to the ground.
"It's so powerful that it can cut hair off. It lives up to its reputation." Xie Yao put the dagger away. "Thank you, Your Highness. I like it very much."
Xiao Ji's eyes softened, "As long as you like it."
Xiao Ji and Xie Yao stayed in the palace.
But Xiao Hong didn't.
He left the palace overnight and went straight to the Second Prince's residence. Upon hearing the news, Xie Yuru hurried forward to greet him.
She was wearing a red dress, a fox fur coat with white trim, and had the same hair and makeup as Xie Yao today. She stood by the door, looking at Xiao Hong with eyes full of smiles, and her voice was soft and aggrieved, "Your Highness..."
Xiao Hong's anger suddenly dissipated a little.
He lowered his gaze.
He frowned and said with disdain, "Not even close!"
Xie Yuru's face stiffened slightly, her body trembled slightly, she lowered her head slightly, and bit her lower lip tightly to hide the hatred in her eyes!
Thanks Yao.
Damn Xie Yao!
Seducing the Crown Prince was not enough, seducing the Marquis of Zhenbei was not enough, she also seduced her Second Prince...
If that person hadn't advised her to dress up as Xie Yao, she would probably still be ignored now.
I finally got the chance to enter the palace today, but because of Xie Yao...
Xiao Hong looked at Xie Yuru's lowered eyebrows, which looked somewhat similar to Xie Yuru's, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little.
never mind.
It was originally just a toy to kill time and satisfy his cravings.
He walked forward, picked up Xie Yuru and carried her sideways, walked inside, and whispered in her ear, "Have a child for me."
Xie Yuru suddenly raised her eyes, her eyes bursting with joy, she was so excited that she couldn't say anything more, "Your Highness!"
Xiao Hong's face suddenly darkened, and he said in a cold voice with a warning, "If you do this, you won't be like her anymore."
Xie Yuru immediately lowered her eyes and acted weakly, "Your Highness... I, I am willing... I am willing to bear a child for Your Highness."
Xie Yuru sneered in her heart.
Only Xiao Hong would think that Xie Yao was weak and could be bullied.
In fact...Xie Yao is extremely arrogant.
But she could only act according to the person Xiao Hong imagined, otherwise it would "not look like the person".
Xiao Hong chuckled, threw Xie Yuru on the bed, and pressed on her.
He said...
But it’s just pregnancy, never birth.
A plaything.
Do you also want to have his child?
Xie Yuru didn't know what Xiao Hong was thinking.
She is working hard on her acting at the moment.
I clearly didn't feel anything, and it even hurt a little, but I still had to act like I was intoxicated...
She closed her eyes, afraid that her eyes would reveal her thoughts.
Thanks Yao.
She will definitely avenge today’s shame!
Xiao Hong grabbed his clothes and covered Xie Yuru's mouth and nose... This way, it looked more like...
