Chapter 43 Xie Yao, plaything?
Prince's Mansion.
"Crown Princess." Zhu Xin walked in slowly and whispered, "The master went back to the Xie family yesterday and found the second young lady there, so he immediately turned around and went to Tianshui Lane."
"This morning, I went directly to the government office from Tianshui Lane."
Mr. Xie is becoming more and more arrogant now, and has no intention of concealing the existence of Tianshui Lane at all.
"Where's Mrs. Xie?"
Xie Yao was drawing her eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil in her hand, her voice nonchalant.
"Two days ago, the mother of Madam Xie brought two beautiful girls into the mansion. From what I saw, they looked quite similar to the one from Tianshui Lane." Zhu Xin reported in a low voice.
Xie Yao chuckled, "Spread this news to Tianshui Lane."
She wasn't going to just sit and watch the show.
When the scene wasn't lively enough, she would add fuel to the fire.
Zhu Xin had just left when Zhu Qing hurried in, "Crown Princess, the government has stepped in to forbid the spread of 'rumors' about Princess He Yi."
"oh?"
Xie Yao raised her eyebrows slightly, news of romantic affairs spread very quickly, it was already too late for Princess He Yi to ban it today after it was spread yesterday.
"The government has taken drastic measures and arrested a number of people. Now the rumors have stopped." Zhu Qing was a little worried. "Crown Princess, will this matter be traced back to us?"
After all, Zhao Ying helped in this matter.
Xie Yao thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask Sister Ying later."
"But Xiao Ning's way... is better." The more brutal her methods were, the more it proved that she was guilty.
Besides...
The gift she prepared has not yet been given.
Xie Yao waved to Zhu Qing, "Go and help me prepare some things."
Two days passed quickly.
Every family in the capital attached great importance to Princess Yongle's birthday. They prepared various gifts early and tried every means to get an invitation.
Early in the morning.
Xiao Ji was waiting for Xie Yao to dress up.
"Your Highness."
Xie Yao softened her voice and turned around in front of Xiao Ji, "Does this look good on me?"
Xiao Ji raised his eyes, and then stood there in a daze.
Xie Yao's eyes were curved and full of anticipation.
"Ahem." Xiao Ji coughed, "It looks good."
Because of Xie Yao's figure, she would inevitably look frivolous if she wore thin clothes. When she wore more luxurious clothes and smiled brightly, Xiao Ji felt that the room was full of light.
Xie Yao walked towards Xiao Ji and naturally took his arm, "Your Highness, let's go."
The carriage drove slowly towards Princess Yongle's mansion.
When the carriage from the Crown Prince's Mansion arrived, the Princess's Mansion was already very busy, but when they realized it was the carriage from the Crown Prince's Mansion, people around still looked over.
Xiao Ji was the first to get off the carriage.
Then he stood beside the carriage and stretched out his hand in the direction of the carriage.
Everyone saw a slender jade hand slowly stretched out and placed on the Crown Prince's hand, and then a purple figure appeared in everyone's sight.
In an instant.
Everyone gasped.
Someone else reacted and quickly bowed, "Greetings to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess."
Xiao Ji helped Xie Yao get off the carriage, selectively ignoring the sour feeling in his heart, and said, "No need to be polite."
The two were led into the mansion by the steward of the Princess's Mansion to pay a visit to Princess Yongle.
"Aunt." Xie Yao and Xiao Ji bowed together with a respectful attitude.
Princess Yongle is already over 50 years old. Although it is her birthday today, she is not dressed luxuriously. She just sits quietly at the top, but her aura is already very terrifying.
Her eyes were sharp and her gaze was as swift as lightning, as if she could see through people's souls. Only the slight gray hair on her temples showed that she was no longer young.
"sit."
Princess Yongle's voice was very majestic.
Xie Yao clearly noticed that the eldest princess's gaze was on her. Instead of retreating, she raised her head and gave the eldest princess a faint smile.
The eldest princess was stunned.
Then his serious brows relaxed a little.
"aunt."
At this moment, a sweet female voice was heard from outside, and along with Princess He Yi came the second prince Xiao Hong.
After the two men paid their respects to the eldest princess, they also paid their respects to Xie Yao and Xiao Ji, and then sat down.
Princess Heyi looked at the eldest princess eagerly and asked, "Aunt, didn't Brother Pei Chen arrive in Beijing today? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"
Xie Yao clearly saw that Princess Yongle's eyes had turned colder. "He Yi, there have been a lot of rumors about you in the capital these days."
Close to the face and open wide.
Xie Yao just felt that she needed a plate of melon seeds at this moment.
Xiao Ning's expression froze slightly, she bit her lower lip and explained, "Aunt, those are just rumors. Others may not believe Ning'er, but don't you believe it either?"
"I have liked Brother Pei Chen since I was a child..."
Princess Heyi hadn't finished her words when a servant's voice came from outside, "Zhenbei Hou is here!"
Pei Chen is here!
Xie Yao also looked towards the door curiously.
Pei Chen, as the Marquis of Zhenbei, had guarded the border for many years and had made great military achievements, but she had never seen this god of war in her two lifetimes.
The sound of military uniforms moving was heard, and then a tall and strong figure strode into the room. The man had a bronze complexion, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and was covered in dust. He looked like he had rushed here from eight hundred miles away.
He stepped forward quickly and knelt in the hall after two or three steps.
"An unfilial son has seen his mother. I wish her happiness as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains!"
"good."
The eldest princess stood up and personally helped Pei Chen up. She looked moved and obviously very excited.
The mother and son were reminiscing about the past, and Xie Yao and the others did not insist on being present, so they quickly left to give the two of them enough time.
As soon as I went out.
Xie Yao clearly felt that the Second Prince Xiao Hong's eyes were on her, especially on her chest, with a hint of offense.
I really want to dig out his eyes!
Xie Yao's face darkened, but she saw Xiao Ji step aside and stand between her and Xiao Hong. He said in a low voice, "If you don't want your eyes, I can dig them out for you."
Just because he doesn't want to fight doesn't mean he's afraid!
Xiao Hong's expression changed slightly. He felt a little guilty and didn't dare to refute.
Instead, Xiao Ning said, "Big Brother, today is my aunt's birthday."
"Oh."
Xiao Ji sneered, "If it weren't for my aunt, it wouldn't just be a warning."
"Keep your eyes."
Xiao Hong replied awkwardly, then turned around and left quickly.
But as soon as he turned around, his face darkened, "You are such a short-lived ghost, and you dare to be so arrogant!"
Xiao Ning glanced at him and said unhappily, "Why are you so anxious? You also said that he is a short-lived ghost. When he dies... you can still do whatever you want to him."
Xiao Hong's expression finally looked better. He seemed to be thinking about the near future. A dark light flashed in his eyes.
Then he sighed again, "What a waste of natural resources!"
Xiao Ning sneered, "Put your mind back on track. There are less than three years left. Don't let your efforts go to waste at this moment."
Xiao Hong glanced at Xiao Ning with dissatisfaction, "It's you who should focus on your work. Don't forget...taking down Pei Chen is your most important task."
