Chapter 53 Yaoyao, You Are So Sweet
Xiao Ji's kisses were densely imprinted on Xie Yao's neck, from top to bottom, leaving a string of suggestive red marks.
"Your Highness."
Xie Yao cried out softly and reached out to push him, but her hands had no strength at all.
Xiao Ji held her with one hand and held her hand with the other, their fingers interlocked, "Yaoyao, so sweet."
I really don't blame him.
As soon as he met Xie Yao, the self-control that he was proud of collapsed in an instant, and he just wanted to be close to her.
Xie Yao's face was slightly flushed, and the golden afternoon sun shone in and fell on her.
Her whole body seemed to be glowing, as dazzling as a goddess.
There was a hint of piety in Xiao Ji's kiss.
Yaoyao must be the goddess given to him by God, weaving a dreamlike illusion for him.
He...would never regret it even if he died.
Just a little...
The lust in Xiao Ji's kiss gradually faded away, and finally he just held Xie Yao in his arms with care.
“Yaoyao… I’m sorry.”
"What did Your Highness say?" Xie Yao's watery eyes gradually became clear. She leaned sideways, without any support, and could only hold Xiao Ji tightly.
Xiao Ji helped her sit up straight and said, "I'm thinking about what Yaoyao should learn."
"ah?"
Xie Yao really didn't understand this time and looked at Xiao Ji with a blank look.
Xiao Ji walked to the bookshelf and took down a few books. "Have you read these books, Yaoyao?"
Xie Yao raised her eyes and looked over. "I've seen some."
Her mother died early, and after the Zhao family left Beijing, she began to make a living under the care of Mrs. Xie, Zhang.
Although she was the original wife's daughter, she was extremely annoying in Zhang's eyes. She was like a stain in the perfect relationship between Zhang and Xie's father.
Zhang hated her and Xie's father ignored her. She was able to read because Xie Yujiao was not studious when she was young and was often scolded, so he remembered her.
Bring her along as a foil.
She was severely punished for surpassing Xie Yujiao in her studies just once. From then on, she learned to hide her shortcomings.
When she had free time, she would read quietly.
But being in the boudoir, what you can access is ultimately limited.
Xie Yao was in a trance when she suddenly felt something heavy in her hand.
It was Xiao Ji who put the book in her hands and said, "Since you haven't finished reading it, then start with these."
"Your Highness?" Xie Yao tilted her head slightly, her glass-like eyes full of confusion.
What does your highness mean?
"After reading this, I will test you. If you can't answer..." Xiao Ji chuckled, "There will be a punishment."
Xie Yao's face turned red for some reason, and she felt that the word "punishment" had a hidden meaning.
"Yes." Xie Yao had no choice but to agree, and just regard it as... the joy of the boudoir.
The Imperial Palace.
Weiyang Palace.
When Xiao Ning and Xiao Hong entered the hall, all the servants in the hall had already left.
"Mother."
Xiao Ning stepped forward and personally helped the imperial concubine to get up. The imperial concubine, who should have been seriously ill, only looked slightly pale at this moment.
"What happened? How could you fail for no reason?" The imperial concubine's voice was filled with displeasure.
They had started planning this matter very early, and it was not easy to bribe the people in Princess Yongle's mansion. They thought it was a foolproof matter, but unexpectedly something went wrong.
Xiao Hong snorted coldly, "Mother, why don't you ask your sister, it's already this time, why are you still thinking about..."
"If it weren't for this, my aunt wouldn't have caught me red-handed. There would have been room for maneuver."
"It would have been fine if the plan had failed, but it also caused me to lose my job at the Ministry of Revenue." Xiao Hong became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it, and was very dissatisfied with Xiao Ning.
"Can you blame me?" Xiao Ning asked back, "It was clearly Hu Yanyuan..."
"Alright." The imperial concubine was annoyed by the quarrel and interrupted the two people's argument. "It has already happened. There is no point in blaming each other."
"I heard that Pei Chen was with the Crown Prince when the incident happened?"
Xiao Ning and Xiao Hong both understood quickly, "Mother, do you suspect that this matter is related to the Crown Prince?"
"No way, he doesn't even have two years to live..." Xiao Hong's tone was somewhat disdainful.
Although Xiao Ji was the crown prince, he never regarded Xiao Ji as his rival.
A mortal man.
"Humph." Xiao Ning said, "I told you last time that I fell into the water. That bitch Xie Yao had something to do with it. Maybe this was a plan of the couple!"
"What does he want?" Xiao Hong was puzzled.
The imperial concubine's eyes flickered slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
"Look at the way you look at Xie Yao. If I were him, I wouldn't do it either." Xiao Ning looked disgusted.
Xiao Hong was a little angry, "He can't even have a child, isn't it a waste of such a beauty?"
"Besides, maybe she just knew about your affair with that poor scholar and wanted to stand up for her sister!"
"Absolutely impossible!" Xiao Ning retorted.
Listening to the brother and sister blaming each other, the imperial concubine's thoughts returned again, "Okay, what's there to argue about?"
"Marrying Hu Yanyuan...is not a bad thing. He has the Northern Frontier Kingdom behind him."
"As for Xiao Ji, no matter if he has any connection with him or not, we should be on guard against him."
"I will personally take care of this matter."
…
As soon as the Second Prince and Princess Heyi left the palace, the news was delivered to the study in the Crown Prince's Mansion.
"Is the imperial concubine's health improving?" Xiao Ji asked.
Si Nan shook his head. "The imperial doctors are helpless. The Second Prince has recruited many civilian doctors to enter the palace."
Xiao Ji seemed to be thinking about something.
I’m afraid there’s something else behind the Imperial Concubine’s move… and it’s not a good thing.
But the next few days were calm and there was no news. The Second Prince worked with the Ministry of Rites to prepare for Princess Heyi's wedding.
Princess Heyi stayed obediently in the princess's mansion and went to the palace to visit the imperial concubine every other day.
The imperial concubine was still ill, and all the doctors in the capital were consulted, but there was still no improvement.
Xie Yao frowned, "Could it be that the imperial concubine is really ill?"
This disease came on strangely and suddenly.
Xiao Ji glanced at Xie Yao, and thought of the news Si Nan had reported privately, "No."
If the imperial concubine was really ill, how could Xiao Hong have had the leisure to take in two concubines yesterday?
This was not a big deal, but Si Nan said that the two women looked quite similar to Xie Yao.
Thinking of Xiao Hong's eyes that day, a cold light flashed in Xiao Ji's eyes.
There was still no sign of what was happening with the Imperial Concubine, but the Xie family sent the news first.
Please ask Xie Yao to return to the Xie family to discuss the issue of adopting a son.
As soon as the carriage from the Prince's Mansion arrived at the Xie family's house, Xie Yao was helped off the carriage, and then she heard a sharp voice, "No, I don't agree!"
"It would be enough to adopt an adopted son, why do we need to adopt another one under the name of Xie Yao's mother?"
It’s Xie Yujiao.
The adopted son would be under Zhang's name, and Zhang had already agreed, but she also wanted to adopt another one under the name of Xie Yao's biological mother.
Xie Yujiao and Zhang naturally disagreed, and they were furious at this moment.
Xie Yao was not annoyed, and was supported by Zhu Qing and slowly walked into the door.
When Xie's father saw the graceful Xie Yao, he immediately expressed his opinion and glared at Xie Yujiao, "It is not your turn to comment on your father's decision!"
Xie Yujiao was stunned for a moment, her eyes turned red again, and she felt very aggrieved. "Daddy's actions, where does that put mother?"
"Everyone in the capital city thinks that Mom is Dad's original wife. Is Dad trying to slap Mom in the face?"
"Daddy, is it Xie Yao..."
Father Xie shouted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about."
As he spoke, he kept an eye on Xie Yao.
Xie Yujiao looked at Xie's father in disbelief. Although she was just being scolded, her eyes were still filled with tears.
After all, this was his beloved daughter for many years. There was a flash of pity in Xie's father's eyes, "Jiao Jiao..."
Xie Yujiao stamped her feet and went back to sit down angrily.
As soon as she sat down, she saw Xie Yao walking to the door. He cast a vicious look at Xie Yao, looking her up and down with contempt.
Xie Yao... just a fallen woman, yet she still has the nerve to act like a crown princess in front of her?
