Chapter 44 Caught in bed!
"Your Highness."
Xie Yao's hand was held by Xiao Ji, and she felt very warm. She bit her lower lip and whispered, "Is this... my fault?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xiao Ji frowned and looked at Xie Yao, "How can I blame you? Your looks are all natural."
"He himself has evil intentions and does not respect his elder sister-in-law." When mentioning Xiao Hong, Xiao Ji's eyes were cold and his tone was full of disdain.
Everyone praises Xiao Hong for his gentleness and elegance, and the demeanor of a gentleman, but in reality he is nothing but rotten cotton inside.
Xie Yao's heart suddenly relaxed, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise.
Although she thought so in her heart, these words coming out of Xiao Ji's mouth... were particularly beautiful.
Xie Yao's eyes were so hot that it was hard to ignore them. Xiao Ji felt a little uncomfortable with her gaze and coughed lightly, "Crown Princess, you..."
"Your Highness." Xie Yao moved closer to Xiao Ji, looked up at him, and whispered in his ear, "You are so kind."
The two were too close, and Xie Yao's scent kept drilling into Xiao Ji's nostrils.
"cough."
Xiao Ji coughed lightly and supported Xie Yao's shoulders to help her stand steady. "Don't do that in public..."
Xie Yao's smile deepened, and she blinked and said, "I understand, Your Highness."
Xiao Ji was slightly startled, "Know what?"
Xie Yao answered as a matter of course, "Let's get closer in private when we get back home."
Xiao Ji: “…”
He looked at Xie Yao helplessly.
Not far away.
Xie Yujiao, who came to the banquet along with the invitation from the Xie family, saw Xiao Ji and Xie Yao chatting, and her face suddenly distorted beyond recognition.
Especially the smile on Xie Yao's face hurt her deeply.
Bitch!
That bitch!
Why?
Why is the prince, who was stern and kept a distance from her in the previous life, so close to Xie Yao?
Men are superficial people who only look at appearance!
She angrily tore the flowers at hand.
"Second Miss..."
Ginkgo shouted softly.
Xie Yujiao turned around and slapped her in the face, "Shut up!"
Gingxing immediately knelt down, "Second Miss, calm down, this is the Princess's residence..."
Xie Yujiao's expression changed slightly. She looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention to this side. She flicked her sleeves and quickly turned around and left.
Xie Yao naturally noticed it.
She gave Zhuqing a look, and Zhuqing nodded slightly, then turned and left.
As soon as Zhu Qing left, footsteps were heard behind Xie Yao and the others. It was Pei Chen who finally came out. Seeing Xie Yao and Xiao Ji, he clasped his fists and said, "Crown Prince, Crown Princess."
"Brother Pei Chen!"
Xiao Ning's clear and coquettish voice sounded, she walked over quickly, stretched out her hand and tried to hold Pei Chen's arm, "You are finally back."
Pei Chen reacted quickly, took a step back to avoid Xiao Ning's contact, and said politely: "Princess He Yi."
Xiao Ning bit her lower lip lightly, looking aggrieved, "Brother Pei Chen, I've already told you not to be so polite, just call me Ning'er."
Pei Chen remained calm and said, "Princess He Yi, if you have nothing else to do, I will go take a bath and change clothes."
He rushed all the way back to Beijing, still wearing his military uniform, looking dirty and smelly.
Xiao Ning had no choice but to let him go.
Xie Yao looked at Pei Chen's leaving back, sighed, and shook her head slightly.
"What is the princess looking at?"
Xiao Ji's voice was slightly deep, with a hint of barely perceptible displeasure.
Xie Yao retracted her gaze, "Zhenbei Hou is truly mighty."
She clearly noticed that Xiao Ji was holding her hand a little tighter, but he quickly reacted and let go of her hand as if he was afraid of hurting her.
Xiao Ji was silent for a moment, then said, "He is too straightforward and not considerate enough. He has been in the army for many years. If a war breaks out, it will be very dangerous..."
Xie Yao slowly turned her head and looked at Xiao Ji in shock.
What is your highness talking about?
Do you want to evaluate Pei Chen?
She thought for a moment and said, "Even so, we can't let him be harmed by Princess He Yi. What do you think, Your Highness?"
Xiao Ji asked Xie Yao in return, "Is the Crown Princess distressed?"
Xie Yao shook her head. "I'm not heartbroken, but it's a pity."
so……
She decided to help Pei Chen.
She had just instructed Zhu Qing to do this matter. Sometimes it was better for her people to come forward than for Xiao Ji's people to come forward.
After Pei Chen left, Xie Yao and Xiao Ji stayed with Princess Yongle.
But the garden was very lively.
Song Wenbo was searching everywhere for Princess Heyi. He went to ask for an audience with His Highness two days ago, but His Highness refused to see him.
That's why he and Xie Yujiao followed the Xie family to today's banquet, just to see Princess Heyi again and arouse her sympathy.
Just at this moment.
A figure walked up to Song Wenbo and whispered, "Mr. Song, the princess is waiting for you. Please follow me."
Song Wenbo's eyes lit up, he thanked him, and immediately followed his entourage to the backyard.
But what he didn't know was that there was a young man in elegant clothes not far away who had been paying attention to him and was following him unconsciously...
…
Princess Yongle's house.
There were many people here, and they all had high status, but Xie Yao, relying on her status as the Crown Princess, still sat in a very close position.
Just as she was laughing, she suddenly felt a pair of eyes that could not be ignored falling on her.
Xie Yao looked back along the line of sight——
He was meeting the gaze of a woman in yellow. The woman had a beautiful face and her slightly furrowed brows seemed to show a bit of criticism and displeasure.
Xie Yao's face darkened slightly. He glanced at her casually and then looked away.
The yellow-shirted woman's expression immediately turned ugly.
Just then, a figure hurried in from outside, walked quickly to Princess Yongle and whispered something.
Princess Yongle's face darkened and her aura was fully released. The room suddenly became quiet and everyone was a little scared.
Something big happened!
Princess Yongle immediately stood up and walked out aggressively.
Seeing this, everyone followed in tacit understanding.
When I got outside, I realized that there was chaos outside. Everyone was whispering with strange expressions, as if something big had happened.
Princess Yongle walked past the crowd, headed towards the backyard with murderous intent, and headed straight for one of the courtyards.
As soon as everyone entered the yard, they heard noise coming from inside the house!
Just listening to it makes people blush.
What the people inside are doing is...obvious.
No wonder Princess Yongle was so angry!
Princess Yongle gave the nanny beside her a look, and the burly nanny immediately stepped forward and kicked the door of the room open.
Soon, a maid's expression changed drastically and she walked out quickly, "Princess, yes, inside is..."
"aunt."
Before the nanny finished her words, Xiao Ning's aggrieved and innocent voice came from inside the room, "Brother Pei Chen, he might have drunk some wine, so..."
For a moment, everyone was in an uproar!
No one had expected that the man and woman who had sex in broad daylight without regard for etiquette and without a matchmaker at Princess Yongle's birthday banquet were Princess Heyi and Marquis Zhenbei!
Apart from personal feelings, some perceptive people began to think about the political factors involved.
Does this mean that Princess Yongle and Marquis Zhenbei are standing behind the Second Prince?
"aunt."
Xiao Ning's pitiful voice sounded, "I don't blame Brother Pei Chen. I am willing to marry Brother Pei Chen. Please don't blame him..."
"What's going on?" A rough and hoarse voice sounded from behind everyone.
The scene suddenly became quiet!
The crowd made way.
The person who spoke was revealed, Pei Chen, Marquis of Zhenbei.
"Mother." Pei Chen walked to the side of Princess Yongle and bowed respectfully, his brows and eyes relaxed. "My son just met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and chatted with him for a while. What happened?"
Everyone felt like their brains were not enough. Wasn’t the person who was having an affair with Princess Heyi in the room the Marquis of Zhenbei?
Then who is it?
