Chapter 17: Praising the Ex-husband to Death
"Your Highness, although it is spring now, the lake water is cold, which is why the Crown Princess caught a cold and has a fever all over. I will prescribe some medicine, and the Crown Princess will be fine after taking a few doses."
"As for the coma, I will give the Crown Princess a few injections and she will wake up soon."
After the court physician prescribed the medicine, Zhuxin sent the patient out while Zhuqing prepared to boil the medicine.
Suddenly, only Xiao Ji and the unconscious Xie Yao were left in the room.
Xiao Ji couldn't help but look at Xie Yao. She had a plump figure but a small face, and her fair cheeks were flushed.
Even though she was unconscious, she was not very comfortable lying in bed.
Xiao Ji couldn't help but think of his wedding night.
He turned his eyes away and looked around the house. This was originally his residence, but it seemed strange no matter how he looked at it.
They had only been married for a few days, but the house was already filled with all kinds of Xie Yao's things.
"Your Highness?"
A hoarse voice was heard, Xiao Ji turned his head and saw that the unconscious Xie Yao had opened her eyes.
Her whole body was red due to the fever, but she seemed to have regained her senses.
Xiao Ji walked towards her subconsciously, took two steps forward and quickly stopped.
"I..." Xie Yao sat up, as if she had just realized something, not daring to look at Xiao Ji again, "I, I am rude, Your Highness."
"Those words I said in the carriage just now, I, I..." Xie Yao bit her lower lip lightly, and even her body was shaking slightly.
"It's okay." Xiao Ji coughed lightly and looked away uncomfortably.
After a pause, he added, "Be careful next time."
Soon, Zhu Qing came into the house with the boiled medicine, and Xiao Ji took the opportunity to leave.
"well."
Xie Yao sighed softly.
Although her words and actions in the carriage today were partly due to her unclear mind, they were mostly deliberate and took advantage of the situation.
I just wanted to test Xiao Ji's thoughts.
Now it seems not so ideal.
"Princess?"
Zhu Qing looked in the direction the prince left, then looked at his master's expression and comforted him softly, "His Highness was very nervous when he carried you into the palace today. He must have you in his heart."
Xie Yao smiled, took the jade bowl, and drank the medicine without changing her expression. "It's okay."
"I still have time."
"Crown Princess." Zhu Xin walked in from outside, holding two invitations in her hands, one with a black background and gold stamping, and the other with bright red.
She respectfully presented it to Xie Yao, "A letter from the Cui family and the Xie family."
After Xie Yao finished reading it, her expression became subtle.
The two posts described the same thing. The one with a black background and gold foil was sent by Cui Zhai, inviting her to attend the ceremony.
The big red post was from Mrs. Xie and Xie Yujiao, inviting her to go to Cui's house to watch the ceremony seven days later.
Zhu Xin added, "Early this morning, Madam Xie's nanny went to Tianshui Lane to check it out."
"But the Xie family did not make a fuss. After Madam Xie met with Master Xie, Master Xie sent someone to call Mr. Song."
Xie Yujiao went back to her parents' home yesterday, but Song Wenbo did not go to pick her up.
"If she doesn't make a fuss, the mother and her children will still be raised outside. If she makes a fuss, she will definitely be taken back to recognize her ancestors." Xie Yao was not surprised. "How can she be willing to do that?"
That concubine gave birth to Old Man Xie's only son.
"Zhu Xin, when we go to Cui's house to watch the ceremony in seven days, you should prepare a generous gift yourself."
…
Xie family.
As soon as Song Wenbo entered the room, the disdain on his face immediately turned into guilt. He politely bowed to his father and said, "My son-in-law greets my father-in-law."
Father Xie looked Song Wenbo up and down, his eyes full of admiration and satisfaction, "Wenbo is here, sit down."
Song Wenbo was stunned. So polite?
The Xie family was a family of officials after all, and he thought that Xie's father would definitely stand up for Xie Yujiao and give him a lecture...
Father Xie was not angry, and his attitude was very polite. "You are really promising at a young age, and you are worthy of being Mr. Qingshan's last disciple."
Uh-huh?
Song Wenbo was stunned again. Did Mr. Qingshan take a fancy to him?
Although he asked Her Royal Highness the Princess for an introduction on this matter, Her Royal Highness has not yet responded to him. How did the Xie family know about it first?
Could it be that the Xie family also contributed to this?
That's right, after all, he is now the son-in-law of the Xie family.
Father Xie continued, "Your mother-in-law and I will definitely go there with valuable gifts to support you, so don't worry."
Song Wenbo hurriedly stood up and bowed again, "Thank you, father-in-law!"
His heart was burning with joy, he was indeed a good father-in-law.
Seeing Song Wenbo admit it, Father Xie's heart became even more heated, "Son-in-law, Jiaojiao has been spoiled by me and your mother-in-law since she was a child. She missed her mother so much yesterday that she went back to her parents' home."
"You are a man, so you should be more tolerant."
"Father-in-law!" Song Wenbo said righteously, "Jiaojiao has been spoiled since she was a child. I completely understand her temper."
"Please rest assured, father-in-law, Jiaojiao will be treated well in the Song family just as she was in her parents' home!"
Song Wenbo made some assurances and had a very pleasant conversation with Xie's father.
After having dinner at the Xie family that day, he went back to the Song family with Xie Yujiao.
At the same time, a piece of news was spread from the Xie family and the Song family at the same time: Mr. Qingshan’s final disciple is Song Wenbo!
For such a major event, the news spread quickly.
By the next day, everyone in the capital knew everything that should be known.
The rumor spread like wildfire. Some people believed it immediately, while others were skeptical. But everyone's eyes were all fixed on the Cui residence where Mr. Qingshan lived.
No one came forward to clarify!
Song Wenbo suddenly became a hot commodity in Beijing, and even Xie's father felt extremely proud.
But Song Wenbo was still a little confused: Why had this matter spread so widely, but his master still hadn’t come to inform him?
Besides, I haven't seen him either.
But the various gifts that came pouring in almost overwhelmed him and the entire Song family.
Countless compliments, endless social events, and endless invitations...
Song Wenbo was lost in such compliments.
Thanks to the Holy Body of Pregnancy, Xie Yao recovered from her cold quickly, but she still stayed up for a few more days.
Zhuxin told her what was happening outside every day.
Xie Yao couldn't help laughing just thinking about it.
"Whether Mr. Qingshan's chosen disciple is Mr. Song, others may not know, but Mr. Song doesn't know? Why is he... like this!"
Zhu Xin secretly felt lucky. If she had known earlier that Mr. Song was such a man, it would have been a blessing that her young lady did not marry him.
Xie Yao chuckled, "With so much praise and flattery, he's already lost."
She knew very well what kind of person Song Wenbo was.
Moreover, the fact that this matter became such a big deal was not only because everyone cared about Mr. Aoyama, but also because of her instigation.
"Zhu Xin, our people can stop now. Everyone involved in this matter should leave Beijing and go to Jiangnan. Leave as soon as possible."
Her maternal grandparents' home is in Jiangnan.
"Yes." Zhu Xin agreed and turned around to make arrangements.
Just as Zhu Xin left, Zhu Qing came in again, smiling and holding a letter in his hand, "Crown Princess, a letter from Jiangnan!"
Xie Yao chuckled, took the letter, and said happily after reading it: "That's great, my cousin is coming to the capital and is on her way now. Calculating the time, she will arrive in a few days."
Suddenly, Xie Yao's smile froze on her face.
My cousin didn't come to Beijing on a whim, but had already set out before she got married.
Then in the previous life...why did she know nothing about this?
