Chapter 51: Aphrodisiac Meal for His Highness
Xiao Ji handed the letter to Xie Yao.
He knew very well that this was Princess Yongle's "reward".
How smart is Princess Yongle? Xie Yao only helped Pei Chen once, but she saw through the surface and sent this letter.
Xie Yao took the letter and glanced at it, her expression changed slightly. Xiao Ji had just mentioned this to her.
The two looked at each other and quickly understood what Princess Yongle meant.
"Your Highness." Xie Yao held Xiao Ji's slightly cold hand, "There must be a way."
In addition to this matter, the letter also contained an address, which I think is the real clue.
Even though Xiao Ji had Si Nan and others, he was still young after all, and many things of the previous generation were hidden as time passed.
Xiao Ji held Xie Yao's soft and warm hand, and his heart inexplicably calmed down. He cast a deep gaze on Xie Yao, "Yeah."
Xiao Ji told Si Nan the address and asked him to have someone investigate secretly.
Xie Yao thought for a moment and said, "I will go to the Princess's residence in person some other day to thank my aunt."
As a man, Xiao Ji was afraid that the other side would be suspicious if he went there rashly, but she would not.
"Thank you, Princess."
Xie Yao blinked and said, "I still prefer Your Highness to call me... Yaoyao."
She spoke the last two words in a very light voice, as soft as a hook.
Xiao Ji paused for a moment, thinking of the passionate love last night.
He watched her blossom in him.
"Yaoyao." Xiao Ji's voice was slightly deep. His hand fell on Xie Yao's waist. He lowered his head and gently bit the tip of her ear. "Stop making trouble."
Xie Yao was held in his arms, her body softened after being bitten, and almost all of her weight was on Xiao Ji's arm.
Xiao Ji held her firmly, then quickly let her go. His eyes fell on her lips, "The injury hasn't healed yet."
"Don't hook me."
There seemed to be a flame hidden in his dark eyes.
After one night, Xie Yao felt that Xiao Ji seemed to have undergone tremendous changes, as if the beast in her heart had been awakened.
It's really scary.
Feeling the soreness in her waist, she immediately calmed down.
Si Nan soon sent another message, "Your Highness, Crown Princess, there is news from the palace just now that the Imperial Concubine is ill."
Are you sick now?
I’m afraid it’s not that simple.
Si Nan paused, then said, "Thank you, sir, for requesting to see the Crown Princess."
"Let him in." Xie Yao did not refuse this time. After passing the order, Xie Yao walked towards the main hall.
Father Xie was sitting there, and when he heard the footsteps, he stood up and looked up.
Seeing that Xie Yao was the only one there, a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes, and he sat down again, calmly waiting for Xie Yao to pay her respects.
Xie Yao ignored him and walked to the main seat and sat down, "Why is father here today?"
Father Xie choked and looked at Xie Yao with dissatisfaction in his eyes, "You..."
He quickly realized that this was in the Crown Prince's residence, and he calmed down a little, "Of course I came to see... the Crown Princess."
Xie Yao just smiled and said nothing.
The main hall soon fell silent and the atmosphere became awkward for a moment.
Father Xie's eyes flashed with annoyance, and he quickly added: "I am deeply touched by what the Crown Princess said last time. The Crown Princess has a noble status, but she has no support from her brothers."
"I want to adopt a child. What does the Crown Princess think?"
He has been planning and thinking about this matter for a long time. Jing'er is getting older and cannot be kept outside all the time.
Besides, Xie Yao’s words last time did wake him up.
If Xie Yao had brothers, how could it be the turn of a servant to be Mr. Qingshan's disciple?
Originally, he didn't want to ask Xie Yao's opinion.
But yesterday, His Majesty confined Princess Heyi to his home and stripped the Second Prince of his power, which shows that the Crown Prince's position is stable.
Xie Yao took a sip of the tea and said with a smile, "I am a married woman, so I don't have any objection."
"But father, please think carefully, under whose name should the brother be registered?"
It was Mrs. Xie Zhang.
As soon as this thought flashed through Xie's father's mind, he understood the implication of Xie Yao's words.
Xie Yao is not Zhang's daughter.
Mr. Xie's expression was slightly stiff, and he felt a little conflicted and hesitant. After being married for many years, he really had feelings for Zhang.
Moreover, although the Zhang family has gradually declined over the years, it still has a certain influence. He is not willing to become enemies with his uncle because of this.
"I know my father and his wife have a deep relationship, but as a child, I also want to consider my mother. I just hope that someone can burn a stick of incense for my mother during festivals in the future."
"So, why not take this opportunity to choose another person from the clan and register him under my mother's name. What do you think, father?"
Father Xie frowned, with suspicion in his eyes.
Xie Yao continued: "But I also have a request. I hope this person can be younger."
Father Xie's brows relaxed a little. Jing'er was already fourteen years old. If he was just a child, he would naturally not be able to compete with Jing'er.
"Please allow me to consider this matter." Father Xie still had some concerns and did not agree immediately.
"I'm waiting for good news from my father." Xie Yao didn't rush her, as she believed there were people who were more anxious than her.
Father Xie left the Prince's Mansion with mixed feelings.
As soon as he left, Xiao Ji came out from the side, his eyes fell on Xie Yao, his eyes full of admiration.
His Crown Princess was better than he had imagined.
"Your Highness." Xie Yao stood up, with a more sincere smile on her face, "Your Highness, are you worried about me when you come here?"
"I'm overthinking it." Xiao Ji did not deny it.
He already knew the character of the Xie family very well, so he was naturally very worried about them.
"No." Xie Yao held Xiao Ji's arm, "Your Highness is worried about me, I am very happy."
Hearing this, Xiao Ji's lips curled up slightly and he held Xie Yao's hand even tighter.
The couple went towards the main courtyard together to prepare for dinner.
Zhao Ying had a social engagement today and did not come back for dinner.
Xiao Ji looked at the table full of "replenishing" dishes, pondered for a moment and said: "Everyone, leave."
The servants filed out one after another, and soon only Xiao Ji and Xie Yao were left in the room.
Xie Yao felt inexplicably guilty, "Your Highness?"
"It is my fault that I made the Crown Princess worry." Xiao Ji said, "I thought last night had proved that... I am in good health."
"But now it seems that Yaoyao seems... not very satisfied?"
Xiao Ji's eyes were dangerous.
Xie Yao looked innocent. The menu had been decided long ago and she forgot to change it. "Your Highness, I..."
Before Xie Yao could finish her words, Xiao Ji had already pulled her into his arms and lowered his head to cover her lips.
"Yaoyao, I will definitely keep up the good work and perform well."
Xie Yao wanted to cry but had no tears. She felt weak all over from the kiss. She grasped Xiao Ji's arm somewhat powerlessly and said in a tender voice, "Your Highness, I'm hungry..."
Xiao Ji's vague and low voice rang in her ears, "I will feed Yaoyao right away."
