Chapter 191 I Don’t Keep a Male Lover
When Xie Yao heard the news, she was still having dinner with Xiao Ji. She suddenly raised her eyes and looked at the person opposite her.
Xiao Ji just gave her a reassuring look.
Xie Yao's eyes widened slightly, and she understood something in an instant, and didn't ask any more questions.
Xie Zhan was sitting on the other side and saw the quarrel between his sister and brother-in-law clearly, but he pretended not to see anything.
After a quick breakfast, he stood up and said, "Sister, brother-in-law, I'm going to the Imperial College first."
Xie Zhan now no longer has the timid look he had when he first entered the Prince's Mansion. The young boy has grown into a cheerful and handsome man.
He was also quite talented in studying. He had a famous teacher in the Imperial College, and when he returned to the Prince's Mansion, Xiao Ji also gave him guidance.
In just one year, he had already gained the reputation of a child prodigy.
Although not as good as Ye Ping'an, it is also very good.
As soon as Xie Zhan left, Xie Yao looked at Xiao Ji, "Your Highness..."
Xiao Ji nodded slightly, giving a positive answer to Xie Yao's guess.
Xie Yao let out a long sigh and glared at Xiao Ji, "Your Highness didn't tell me yesterday, I guess you scared me."
Xiao Ji quickly apologized, "It's my fault, but... isn't this the way I should act?"
"Please cooperate with me, Princess."
Xie Yao raised her eyebrows and said confidently: "I am the best at acting."
Xiao Ji looked at Xie Yao with some doubt in his eyes, "Really?"
Xie Yao is certainly confident.
Didn't she pretend to like His Highness well before? His Highness was fooled.
But of course she couldn't say that, so Xie Yao could only suppress her pride and said modestly: "I'll try my best."
As soon as the couple finished talking, the steward came to report: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Crown Princess."
"There's news from the palace that His Majesty will come to visit the little grandson and the little princess today."
This is different from previous incognito visits, and everyone in the Prince's Mansion must be fully prepared.
It was past noon.
The emperor finally arrived, accompanied by Concubine Li, Concubine Shu and the eldest princess Xiao Ning.
There were more people than Xie Yao had expected.
As soon as they met, Xiao Ning's proud eyes fell on Xie Yao, as if saying: This time, she won.
If it were in the past, Xie Yao would have looked over with a reluctance to admit defeat.
But this time, she lowered her eyes.
If you want to destroy someone, you must make him crazy.
She didn't mind giving in a little and letting Xiao Ning feel proud and complacent. If Xiao Ning was arrogant enough, perhaps he would allow them to find more clues.
Xie Yao's concession really made Xiao Ning even more proud.
Zhaozhao and Suisui were brought up.
The emperor's greatest concern was naturally Sui Sui.
But in addition to the emperor, Concubine Shu's eyes also fell on Sui Sui. Her expression was unnatural for a moment, and then she stared at Sui Sui without blinking.
Xie Yao frowned slightly when she saw this scene.
She had doubts last time, but...
"The little grandson is so adorable." Concubine Li said with a smile, "The Crown Prince should have executed the Imperial Master long ago. He actually had the heart to do this to such a lovely little grandson."
When Xie Yao and Xiao Ji heard these words, they naturally sounded like the boasting of a proud person.
"That's enough." Before Xie Yao could refute, the emperor interrupted her, "Why are you saying this?"
Even when he said this, the emperor did not raise his eyes, but only focused on looking at Sui Sui.
Only then did Concubine Li condescend to take a look at Sui Sui who was held in the emperor's arms.
She frowned and looked at Concubine Shu again, feeling that something was strange.
Concubine Shu noticed Concubine Li's gaze, then she looked up and smiled at the emperor, "The little princess is so cute and lovely, she is really lovable."
The emperor's brows relaxed a little, "Yes."
Concubine Li sneered in her heart, and a hint of contempt flashed in her eyes.
It's just a substitute.
She actually wanted to please the emperor and put on such a gesture to please His Majesty...
What a scheming bitch!
The emperor and his entourage did not stay in the prince's mansion for long. After all, there were a few more people today and it was particularly noisy.
But before leaving, Xiao Ning still gave Xie Yao a meaningful look and said, "If you have the answer to the question I asked you last time, you can come to me anytime."
Xie Yao looked at Xiao Ning and said in front of the emperor: "Thank you for your kindness, my sister, but I only love His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and am not interested in keeping a male concubine."
“…”
As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence all around!
Everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ji quickly cooperated with his own Crown Princess and looked at Xiao Ning with a dark face, "Xiao Ning, you are so brave!"
"If you dare to seduce my Crown Princess again, don't blame me for not thinking of the friendship between brothers!"
The couple each said something and the matter was settled.
What’s more important is that the emperor had heard about Xiao Ning’s “misbehavior” when Princess Yongle celebrated her birthday last year.
Keeping a male lover...it was indeed what his daughter did.
As the emperor's daughter, a noble princess, he would not blame her for having several male favorites. As long as his daughter likes them, it's fine.
But... tempting the royal daughter-in-law to keep a male lover is too much!
The emperor looked at Xiao Ning with a slightly gloomy look in his eyes.
Xiao Ning immediately defended himself, "Father, I didn't..."
"Then tell me, why did you go to look for my Crown Princess so many times, and every time you did it without telling anyone?"
Of course Xiao Ning couldn't tell the real reason.
"I..." She hesitated for a moment, thinking about what excuse to make, but the emperor saw it clearly in just a moment of hesitation.
"Xiao Ning."
The emperor said in a deep voice: "You passed."
"Since you have no ambition and no knowledge of etiquette, you should stay in the Princess's Mansion to reflect on your mistakes for a month."
After saying this, the emperor turned and left, and Concubine Shu immediately followed.
Concubine Li and Xiao Ning's eyes fell on Xie Yao at the same time, with resentment in their eyes.
"Xie Yao." Xiao Ning gritted his teeth, "You are great!"
He cheated her like this in public!
Even if Xie Yao wanted to turn over a new leaf and come to her in the future... she would never easily forgive Xie Yao's provocation today.
It is necessary to pay a price.
Xie Yao was not afraid at all, she raised her eyebrows and asked back: "Why? Princess, do you want me to explain it to you again?"
As for what the explanation will reveal, that is uncertain...
Xiao Ning snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and strode away.
"Mother." Xiao Ning felt very aggrieved, "Father didn't listen to my explanation at all, I..."
She's already making excuses.
Concubine Li patted the back of Xiao Ning's hand soothingly and said, "Your father is trying to comfort Xiao Ji."
"Do you really think that your father had no doubts about the Imperial Master? But he still ordered the Imperial Master to be killed, and only confined him to his house for a month."
"It's already on our side."
Xiao Ning was still unhappy.
Concubine Li continued, "Besides, when did you ever listen to me during the house arrest?"
Only then did Xiao Ning smile happily.
Prince's Mansion.
Xiao Ji and Xie Yao were also talking about this matter, and their guesses were the same as Concubine Li's.
The emperor's decisive decision today regarding Xiao Ning was not only meant to comfort him, but also as a warning.
The emperor was really suspicious of this matter, so he had less patience with Xiao Ning.
After listening to Xie Yao's analysis, Xiao Ji nodded in agreement, then looked at her and said, "What did Yaoyao say just now? I didn't hear it clearly. Say it again."
Xie Yao understood what he meant, and said with a turn of eyes: "I am not interested in raising a male pet..."
"Previous sentence." Xiao Ji said.
"Thank you for your kindness, my sister..."
"Yaoyao." Xiao Ji hugged her and stared into her eyes. "Yaoyao, be good. Say it again, okay?"
Xie Yao blushed slightly, but still agreed with him and said, "I only love His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
"I also only like Yaoyao." Xiao Ji replied immediately.
Xie Yao's eyes flickered and her cheeks turned red, but she was shy.
The couple quarreled for a while.
Xie Yao just remembered another important matter, interrupted Xiao Ji's noise, and said, "Your Highness."
"Do you think that Concubine Shu...will she have any relationship with my mother or the Wei family?"
The last time she went to the Wei family was to investigate this matter.
Xiao Ji frowned and thought seriously about Concubine Shu's behavior, and felt that something was wrong.
"I don't know about this." Xiao Ji shook his head, "But since Yaoyao has such suspicion, I might write to ask her."
"Who should I write to?" Xie Yao asked, "Is it safe to write a letter?"
