Chapter 89 His Highness Likes to Bit Ears
Xiao Ji sat opposite Xie Yao, holding a black piece between his fingertips and placing it steadily on the chessboard.
"Sinan said that Qian Jin's mother had an accident a few days before he was approached by Xiao Ning."
Xie Yao nodded, she knew it too.
Qian Jin was studying at college, so he was unable to return to the village immediately when the flood hit.
When he returned to the village, his mother had been abandoned by her uncle, who took her food but gave her nothing to eat.
That's why Qian Jin found her so accurately.
This was Xiao Ning's arrangement. One was to use the beauty trap, and the other was to use a fake account book to "clear the name" of Qian Jin's father.
Qian Jin took advantage of the situation and plotted against Xiao Ning. He was also on the boat this time, heading north with them.
Xie Yao also dropped a piece.
Xiao Ji raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at the Crown Princess opposite him inconspicuously.
It was the first time that he played chess with Xie Yao, and he realized that his Crown Princess was very calculating and logical.
Definitely not an ordinary person!
At first, he was thinking about spending time with his own Crown Princess, but he didn't expect...
He looked at Xie Yao staring at the chessboard with a serious and focused look.
The corners of Xiao Ji's lips curled up high, feeling proud.
His princess is awesome.
After a long time, neither of them had decided the winner, but Xie Yao suddenly came to her senses. She was so mad with rage that she was bloodthirsty.
Thinking of the image I have in the prince's heart...
Xie Yao raised her eyes carefully, but was only met with his smiling and doting eyes, which were full of attachment and warmth.
Xie Yao's heart, which had been slightly lifted, suddenly dropped, as if it had hit soft cotton, and her heart also felt warm and swelled.
"Yaoyao."
Xiao Ji held the black piece in front of her and waved it, "It's your turn."
Fearing that Xie Yao would be unhappy, he did not let her go.
Xie Yao seemed to be encouraged. After considering for a moment, she placed the white piece steadily in the calculated position.
Eat up a large number of Xiao Ji's chess pieces.
She...has never been a good person.
Xie Yao raised her eyes casually, wanting to see Xiao Ji's reaction, but she only saw his eyes full of admiration.
She suddenly felt relieved for no reason.
Five days later.
When the boat arrived at the ferry in the capital, people from the Three Departments had already come to greet them. Before Xie Yao got off the boat, he noticed a vicious look falling on him.
She looked up -
The second prince Xiao Hong.
He was dressed in royal blue brocade, and his temperament was less gentle than before, and he looked very gloomy.
That sinister look was so disgusting that Xie Yao felt nauseous just by being looked at.
The next moment.
Xiao Ji stood beside Xie Yao, blocking Xiao Hong's sight.
He looked at Xiao Hong without hesitation, his eyes flashing with cold light and full of warning.
Xiao Hong looked away and his eyes fell on Xiao Ning.
He received the account book.
The affairs of Nanzhou were of course related to him. Last year, a large sum of money was sent to his house regarding the dam incident.
But he checked the money in the account book with his uncle and confirmed that he had not received it.
His good sister...
"Royal brother, royal sister-in-law, royal sister."
Xiao Hong bowed and called everyone one by one, with a look of pride between his eyebrows. It was not because of anything else, but even though the account book was sent to the emperor.
He is still in custody and able to walk around.
Xiao Ji still had to go to the palace to meet the emperor and report on the affairs of Nanzhou. He ordered Si Nan to send Xie Yao back to the Prince's Mansion.
He personally escorted Xie Yao to the carriage, held her hand and said softly, "I will be back soon."
Xie Yao's eyebrows curved and her voice was soft, "I know."
Xiao Hong was standing not far away, watching this picturesque scene, his hands clenched into fists under his sleeves.
In addition to jealousy, there is also full of hatred and disgust.
Xie Yao...bitch!
The carriage door closed.
The smile on Xie Yao's face instantly faded.
Xiao Hong, you're such an eyesore.
She had been away from the Prince's Mansion for half a month, and everything in the mansion was still the same as before.
"elder sister!"
Xie Zhan had been waiting at the gate of the Prince's Mansion. When he saw her, he came forward with a bright smile on his face.
Compared to half a month ago, I am much more cheerful.
She was wearing clothes that fitted her well and her face no longer had the nervousness she had when she first arrived, which made people happy just by looking at her.
"A Zhan."
Xie Yao smiled brightly, "Have you been studying hard recently?"
Before Xie Zhan could answer, Zhu Xin, who stayed in the capital to look after the family, said, "Don't worry, Princess Consort. The young master has been studying very hard recently and he stays up very late every day reading..."
"That won't do."
Xie Yao said seriously: "If you don't sleep enough, you won't grow tall. You just need to combine work and rest."
Xie Zhan's face turned slightly red, and he thanked them earnestly and responded yes. The brother and sister said a few more words before being taken away.
Zhu Xin then started talking about the important affairs in the capital during this period.
"Crown Princess, the Xie family has come several times recently, wanting to take the young master away. I will follow your instructions, maybe."
"Although the Second Prince's affair is strictly prohibited in the palace, many people still know about it privately."
"Song Wenbo is still looking for a doctor in private. The Song family is filled with the smell of medicine all day long. He told others that it was medicine to preserve the pregnancy of the second young lady."
“…”
"Five days ago, the Li family was surrounded by the Imperial Guards."
Xie Yao listened one by one, and the person had already entered the main house.
I was exhausted from the long journey and was swaying on the boat, so I couldn't get a good rest.
After taking a bath, she lazily leaned back on the couch.
It’s still more comfortable to lie down.
She fell asleep while lying down...
It was only morning when the fleet arrived at the ferry, and it was already evening when Xiao Ji returned.
He walked into the main courtyard of the Prince's Mansion in the afterglow of the setting sun. The courtyard was quiet and it seemed that nothing had changed.
But in the details, Xie Yao also made some arrangements.
Shows a bit of warmth.
When he entered the room, he saw Xie Yao sleeping on the couch. She was breathing evenly and deeply, and was sleeping soundly.
She only wore a light gauze dress in summer, and her thin quilt was kicked away during her sleep.
Her snow-white skin was faintly visible under the veil, hazy and beautiful.
Xiao Ji's heart suddenly softened.
Like a traveler who had found his home, he walked slowly forward and picked up Xie Yao who was lying on the couch.
Xie Yao moaned, her eyes not opening, but her hands subconsciously hooked around his neck, her voice soft, "Your Highness."
She is acting coquettishly.
"Yeah." Xiao Ji hummed, and said softly as if coaxing a child: "Continue to sleep."
He put the man on the bed.
Xie Yao also sat up using the strength of her hug around his neck.
The quilt that Xiao Ji had covered her with slipped off, and the veil on her body could not cover anything at all.
But she obviously didn't notice it, she just hooked Xiao Ji's hand and asked, "Why did your highness come back so late?"
Xiao Ji's eyes deepened slightly, and he hummed, "I came back late."
"Is the meal ready? Are you hungry?"
Xie Yao shook her head and then nodded.
Xiao Ji raised the corners of his lips, gave an order to the outside, then stood up, took the outer garment, put it on Xie Yao himself, and changed her clothes.
Xie Yao suddenly realized something, and her cheeks flushed. She was only 50% sober now, "Your Highness, I just..."
"Yes." Xiao Ji nodded, tilted his head and bit her ear, "I thought the Crown Princess was inviting me."
