Chapter 76 Selecting a Concubine
Xu Ping'an felt relieved when he saw the Crown Princess looked calm.
It’s Zhao Hao.
When he heard that Xie Cheng and Xie Jing were there too, he seemed to have gained some kind of strength even though his body was still shaking slightly.
The fighting spirit instantly ignited in his eyes.
"Cousin." Zhao Hao whispered beside Xie Yao: "I won't let you down!"
All the way to the main hall.
Mr. Qingshan was sitting at the top, with Princess Heyi and Mr. Xie sitting on his left and right.
When they saw Xie Yao, they immediately frowned.
"Imperial sister-in-law?" Xiao Ning chuckled, "Is the imperial sister-in-law bringing her cousin to compete with her biological brother?"
"You Xie family are really interesting."
Father Xie's face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of displeasure as he looked at Xie Yao.
Xie Yao sat down slowly and said, "He Yi, you are right. They are all my brothers, so I can't be biased."
"It depends on which of them is more competitive."
"What the Crown Princess said is true." Mr. Qingshan put down the teacup, looked at Xie Jing, then looked at Zhao Hao, "You guys follow me."
Mr. Qingshan and Xu Ping'an took the two people away, leaving only three people in the main hall.
"Crown Princess." Xie Cheng's eyes were cold, "Excuse me for a moment."
"Xie Yao!" As soon as he got away from the crowd, Xie Cheng showed his true colors, no longer trying to hide his true intentions, and roared, "What on earth are you going to do?"
"Don't forget what you promised me! Now, take Zhao Hao away from Cui's house immediately!"
Last time it was Xie Yao, and this time it was Xie Yao again.
The lingering evil spirit.
Xie Cheng was furious, but Xie Yao just sat on the chair calmly.
"Father, I know you are anxious, but please don't be anxious yet."
"It is thanks to father that I was able to bring Brother Hao here today."
Xie Cheng's pupils shrank slightly, thinking of what he had done. He took a deep breath and said, "Father can write a letter to recommend him to enter Lingshan Academy again."
"Now, take him away!"
Since he wrote a letter to his classmate asking him to expel Zhao Hao, he must have read Zhao Hao's article.
This is urgent.
Seeing Xie Yao remained silent, Xie Cheng became even more anxious, "Xie Yao, are you going to go back on your word?"
"Don't forget, Xie Zhan is Xie's son after all." He was even the child registered under his name.
If Xie Yao doesn't give him face, don't blame him...
"oh."
Xie Yao condescended to reply, "Father is so lucky."
Xie Cheng: ???
For a moment he couldn't understand what Xie Yao was saying.
Seeing that Xie Yao was not interested, Xie Cheng angrily threw his sleeves and turned away.
If he continued talking, he was afraid he would be angry to death!
Xie Yao did not stay in the house for long. Instead, she went out and strolled around the mansion under the guidance of the servants.
"Young Master Ping'an?" A familiar voice came, with a hint of something special, "Since this is our first meeting, I will give you a gift."
Xie Yao raised her eyes and looked.
Xu Ping'an was stopped by Princess Heyi.
Princess Heyi waved her hand, and the maid behind her presented her with a jade pendant.
Princess Heyi bent down and wanted to tie it around Xu Ping'an's waist herself.
Princess Heyi bent down, and the scenery on her chest was revealed to Xu Ping'an, "Your Highness..."
Xu Ping'an took a step back and quickly looked away, not daring to look at all.
"He Yi!"
Xie Yao's clear voice rose slightly, and she stepped forward quickly, blocking Xu Ping'an, "Ping'an is considered my brother, so why don't I accept the gift for you?"
That jade pendant...
Heyi has a storehouse.
Whenever she liked a man, she would give him a jade pendant as a mark of his character.
But Xie Yao didn't expect that He Yi even targeted Xu Ping'an.
Xiao Ning stood up, a little bored, "Imperial sister-in-law, you don't know, this jade pendant of mine... is only given to the destined person."
"Young Master Ping'an, do you really not want my jade pendant?"
Xu Ping'an bowed, polite but distant, "The teacher is very strict in discipline, and no reward is accepted without merit. Thank you for your kindness, Princess, but Ping'an is unlucky."
Xiao Ning took a deep look at Xu Ping'an, then suddenly smiled, "It's okay, there's still a long way to go."
"If the young master changes his mind someday, you can come to the princess's mansion to find me at any time."
After saying that, Xiao Ning threw the jade pendant into the maid's arms and turned to leave.
"Thank you, Princess Consort, for helping me out." Xu Ping'an bowed solemnly to Xie Yao to express his gratitude.
Xie Yao smiled lightly, her eyes full of gentleness, "You're welcome, Ping An."
"But...Princess He Yi's things are better for Ping An not to accept them."
After a pause, he continued, "If there is nothing important, don't leave the house today. If you have to go out, you must bring enough servants with you."
She didn't lie. Look, she really treats Xu Ping'an like his younger brother.
Previous life.
She had met Xu Ping'an at the Song family before. Xu Ping'an went to look for Song Wenbo as his junior fellow apprentice.
She was imprisoned at that time and Xu Ping'an helped her.
Such a good child should not be harmed by Xiao Ning.
Although Xu Ping'an didn't understand, he still nodded and said, "Thank you, Crown Princess, for your advice."
"We must tell Mr. Qingshan about this matter after we leave." The news of Xiao Ning and Huyan Yuan's absurd behavior in Princess Yongle's mansion had already spread, but Xu Ping'an was still young and probably didn't know about it.
Mr. Qingshan is a member of the Cui family and should know the importance of this matter.
"Okay." Xu Ping'an agreed again.
soon.
The door of Mr. Qingshan's study opened, and he went out first, with Zhao Hao and Xie Jing walking side by side behind him.
Zhao Hao's body was trembling, but his eyes were very excited.
Xie Jing's face was dark and dejected, his eyes full of humiliation and unwillingness.
Success and failure are clear at a glance.
Xie Cheng looked at Xie Yao with eyes that made him want to eat her. Xie Yao smiled faintly in response, "Brother Hao, why don't you thank your uncle for giving you the chance?"
Zhao Hao immediately stepped forward obediently, "Thank you, uncle."
Xie Cheng angrily threw his sleeves, even forgetting that he was at Cui's house, and turned away angrily.
Xie Jing gave Xie Yao and Zhao Hao a vicious look and quickly followed them.
"Congratulations, Empress-in-law." Xiao Ning was not angry. After all, she was giving face to Xie Cheng by being a help.
The deal was done and she got what she wanted.
Her eyes fell on Zhao Hao beside Xie Yao. A hint of interest flashed in her eyes, and then she turned and left.
Xie Yao felt a little nervous and decided to arrange a few more people to be around Zhao Hao when she returned.
"Thank you, Mr. Qingshan." Xie Yao was very polite to Mr. Qingshan.
Mr. Qingshan was in a good mood. "I should thank the Crown Princess for giving me such a good disciple."
Xu Ping'an's cheeks turned slightly red due to the compliment.
Mr. Qingshan added, "As for Zhao Hao... I will recommend him to my eldest disciple. What do you think, Crown Princess?"
What a pleasant surprise!
"Thank you, Mr. Qingshan." Xie Yao thanked him sincerely.
Zhao Hao also hurriedly followed suit and saluted.
As soon as Xie Yao and Zhao Hao left the house, Xu Ping'an told Mr. Qingshan what Xie Yao had asked him to say.
Mr. Qingshan's face suddenly darkened and anger flashed in his eyes.
Princess Heyi is so nice, she has set her sights on his disciple again!
Mr. Qingshan's expression changed, and finally he said: "Ping An, the Crown Princess is really thinking about you, just do as you are told."
"Why?" Xu Ping'an's eyes were full of confusion.
Mr. Qingshan hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Well, you are born smart, so there is no need for me to hide this from you, lest you suffer from her tricks."
"Princess Heyi's private life is not decent. As far as I know, the person she gave the jade pendant to... is her favorite lover."
"Ping An, she's got her eyes on you."
