Chapter 23 The Crown Princess Has Only His Royal Highness
Is she awake?
Xiao Ji turned his head suddenly, only to see Xie Yao still in a deep sleep.
The mumbling just now was just dream talking.
In her dream... is he?
Too.
She had said before that she admired him very much.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ji felt that except for his ears, even his cheeks and neck began to heat up.
Xie Yao was completely dependent on him at this moment.
He clearly felt the softness and fullness of her body...
Xiao Ji took a deep breath, lifted Xie Yao's arm, and asked her to move away from him. When he pulled Xie Yao away, he was already sweating.
Xiao Ji did not sleep well again that night.
Xie Yao, however, felt refreshed.
Zhao Ying is going to visit the Xie family today, so she will go with them.
The Zhao family and the Xie family are in-laws. As a younger generation, if Zhao Ying does not visit them, someone will say that she is rude and speaks ill of the Zhao family.
After breakfast, the two sisters prepared to set off.
As soon as the carriage left, Xiao Ji, who was sitting in the study, asked Si Nan, "I remember that Zhao Hao from the Zhao family is a scholar. Will he take the imperial examination next year?"
When Xie Yao was chosen as the Crown Princess, Si Nan had already thoroughly investigated Xie Yao, so he knew everything clearly. "Your Highness has a good memory."
Xiao Ji stood up and took some books and articles from the bookshelf and said, "Send them to Jiangnan."
Si Nan knew very well that His Highness had taken the examination papers from the autumn examination a few years earlier. The difference was that these were the examination papers answered by His Highness.
"Yes." Si Nan took it, hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Your Highness, should we inform the Crown Princess about this?"
"No need." Xiao Ji did not hesitate.
Xie family.
Zhao Ying submitted the invitation yesterday, and as the mistress of the house, Mrs. Xie naturally had to make all the arrangements.
But when she saw Xie Yao, her eyes were full of hatred.
She has already found out that Mr. Qingshan's last disciple is Hongdou's younger brother. Although she has not found any evidence, this matter must be related to Xie Yao!
"Miss, you are not ordinary now, but you are still a daughter of the Xie family. Even if you have misunderstandings about me, Jiaojiao is your sister. Why do you want to harm her?"
As soon as she sat down, Mrs. Xie started to attack.
Hearing this, Xie's father's eyes also fell on Xie Yao, and his slightly frowned brows also expressed his dissatisfaction.
"I hurt her?" Xie Yao raised her eyebrows and asked knowingly.
"What an honor it is to be Mr. Qingshan's last disciple. Jiaojiao said that Mr. Qingshan originally wanted the second uncle, so why would the eldest lady deliberately sabotage it!"
"Miss, we are a family after all. If Jiaojiao gets well, it will be good for you in the future. How can you be so cruel?"
"That loser Song Wenbo?" Xie Yao sneered, "Mr. Qingshan is not blind, how could he be interested in him?"
"You!" Mrs. Xie stood up suddenly with a distorted expression.
But when she saw the guards from the Prince's Mansion standing behind Xie Yao, she suppressed her anger and said, "So, the young lady admits that she is targeting Jiaojiao and her husband?"
"Targeting?" Xie Yao sneered, "Is he worthy of it?"
"Miss, how dare you say that Mr. Qingshan's choice of Ye Ping'an has nothing to do with you?" Mrs. Xie was already overwhelmed by anger.
These days, Father Xie has become more and more unrestrained and stays in Tianshui Lane every day.
If Xie Yao and Zhao Ying hadn't come today, she might not have seen anyone.
"It's related." Xie Yao felt no guilt at all.
“Then you—” Mrs. Xie hadn’t finished her words when Xie Yao continued, “Ye Ping’an has a photographic memory and amazing talent, which is why he became Mr. Qingshan’s last disciple.”
"Who is Song Wenbo?" she asked very seriously.
Mrs. Xie choked.
She asked someone to inquire about this matter and naturally learned about Ye Ping'an's talent.
Song Wenbo...is indeed completely incomparable to him.
"Father." Xie Yao looked at the angry father and said, "Do you know who recommended Song Wenbo?"
Father Xie was slightly stunned, as this was not something he did.
There aren't many people whose words carry weight in front of Mr. Qingshan. Does Song Wenbo secretly... know someone like that?
"To be honest, I also think that this opportunity is too good for Ye Ping'an." Xie Yao didn't explain in detail, but just said, "But who can blame me for not having a younger brother?"
"If I had brothers at home, I would never let outsiders take advantage of me."
After Xie Yao finished speaking, she picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip with a leisurely attitude.
Mrs. Xie's face darkened slightly, and she subconsciously looked at Xie's father, who looked obviously moved.
How come Mrs. Xie still doesn’t understand?
I'm afraid Xie Yao already knew about what happened in Tianshui Lane and deliberately let Hongdou tell her about it...
Perhaps, this is what the man beside her meant.
Zhao Ying's visit was out of courtesy, and after the quarrel with Xie Yao, the two left the Xie family.
Mrs. Xie felt panicked when she thought of Xie's father's agitated expression. She no longer had time to stand up for Song Wenbo.
"master."
She called out to Xie's father who was about to leave, "I feel really guilty for not being able to leave a descendant for the Xie family all these years."
"Why don't I take charge and take two concubines for you, so that the Xie family can continue its lineage."
Father Xie frowned, paused for a moment and said, "That's not necessary."
Then, he strode away.
Mrs. Xie looked at his back and her heart sank.
She used to think that Father Xie loved her deeply, but now she knew that he already had a son outside, and he even refused to take a concubine for the sake of the woman and child outside.
"lady……"
Mother Liu called out to Mrs. Xie with some concern.
Madam Xie said in a deep voice: "Mother Liu, you have seen the woman in Tianshui Lane."
"Find two young and beautiful ones according to the woman's appearance and temperament." Father Xie has decided on this concubine!
In the carriage.
"Yaoyao." Zhao Ying has been doing business for many years and is very perceptive. "What do you mean by what you said just now? The look on my uncle's face..."
"Sister Ying is so perceptive." Xie Yao said, "I'm helping him."
Otherwise, how could his concubines and children enter the house?
When Xie Yao told Zhao Ying about the incident in Tianshui Lane, Zhao Ying's eyes immediately showed more pity. Yaoyao lost her mother early, and now it seems that she has no father's love.
"Yaoyao, you have been wronged over the years."
Xie Yao's expression froze slightly, and her heart immediately became sour and bitter. She hugged Zhao Ying tightly, "Sister Ying..."
Nothing was said, yet it seemed as if everything was said.
Xie Yao didn't cry.
But his eyes were a little red when he got off the carriage.
This news was soon heard by Xiao Ji. Si Nan said, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess' eyes were red when she came back. She must have suffered a great injustice in the Xie family!"
"But it is also true. Lord Xie loves the Second Miss and has a mistress and children in Tianshui Lane. Madam Xie is even the stepmother. The Crown Princess must have had a very difficult time in the Xie family over the years."
As Si Nan spoke, he carefully looked at his prince's expression.
Xiao Ji already knew this news, but when Si Nan said it again... he still felt a little nervous.
"Your Highness, you are the only princess consort."
Xiao Ji raised his eyes to look at him and said coldly: "Who do you belong to?"
Si Nan raised his hand and touched his nose embarrassedly. He said too much and it was counterproductive!
He immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness, please punish me for being too talkative."
Xiao Ji was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Is her life difficult?"
