Chapter 278 No one is good enough for my daughter, don't even think about marrying her!
Now, Qingdao could only reluctantly shut her mouth and mutter, "Yes! This servant won't go!"
But they really deserve a beating!
A day and a night passed, and the older ones could no longer hold on and fainted. Xiao Xingyuan showed no expression, but coldly ordered his men to carry them back for proper treatment.
As for the others, they will eventually pass out.
If you have the ability to do it again, then go ahead and do it again. There will always be a time when you can't hold on any longer.
As for matters of state, Xiao Xingyuan, Xiao Ce, and the others could manage, so they were not threatened at all.
Now, all the civil and military officials were put on hold, and they were even more anxious as they watched the people around them fall one by one, wondering when all this would end.
The Jade King knelt at the front, feeling increasingly humiliated. They were simply suffering in silence.
Thinking of this, the Jade King stood up and limped away.
With the Jade King taking the lead, many others realized what was happening and hurriedly headed outside.
Originally, everyone was united, but now, their expressions have all changed. One by one, they all got up and limped out. This whole farce has vanished into thin air.
"Father, this may not be a good thing. If one plan fails, there will always be another!"
Xiao Ce also felt that the situation was not optimistic.
This made Xiao Xingyuan nod in satisfaction. He smiled and then said, "Hmm, the fact that you can say such things proves that you've grown up, which is a good thing!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Father!"
"But Father, what should we do next?"
Xiao Ce looked at Xiao Xingyuan with some difficulty.
"You will personally oversee the visit from the Canglan Kingdom."
"Also, you must be extremely vigilant and prevent them from contacting the Jade Prince's Mansion, understand?"
Xiao Xingyuan could already guess that they were probably up to something.
Given this, we should naturally take precautions in advance.
"Yes, Your Majesty understands!"
"Father, may I go and see Aman? It's been so many days, and I still haven't seen my sister."
Xiao Ce changed the subject, saying he wanted to go see Aman.
"Yes, that child can eat and sleep well now, and is growing very well."
Xiao Xingyuan was beaming with joy when he talked about the child, and so he took Xiao Ce to the backyard.
With the baby with the wet nurse, Xiao Ce looked at the round, white, and tender baby and immediately fell in love with him.
He stepped forward, carefully picked up the child, gently held him in his arms, and said with a smile, "Aman, look at me, I am your elder brother, your elder brother."
Looking at Aman, Xiao Ce thought of the child in Ming Chu's belly. He wondered if the child would be just as cute after it was born.
"Giggle!"
Aman grabbed Xiao Ce's finger and laughed.
"Oh dear, you naughty girl, you smile when you see your brother, but why don't you smile when you see Father?"
Xiao Xingyuan immediately stepped forward, clearly jealous.
Seeing Xiao Xingyuan like this, Xiao Ce felt a sense of satisfaction.
He gently shook Aman and said with a smile, "Father, look how exactly she looks like the Empress. But why doesn't she resemble our Xiao family at all?"
Xiao Xingyuan rolled his eyes at Xiao Ce and said irritably, "I'm not even unhappy about this, and you're still unhappy?"
"Father, this child is so adorable. Why don't I take him home and raise him for a couple of days?" Xiao Ce was immediately smitten with the child and couldn't put him down.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Xingyuan snatched the child away and slapped Xiao Ce on the back of the head, saying irritably, "This is my precious child. How can I let you take her back to raise? She must stay by my side for the rest of her life."
"Father, she's a girl, she'll get married sooner or later. Even if you cry your eyes out, you won't be able to see her then!"
Xiao Ce would be heartbroken.
Even though the child was still a tiny little bundle in his arms, Xiao Xingyuan seemed to have already imagined what she would look like when she got married more than ten years from now, and he suddenly became furious.
"There is no man in this world who is worthy of my daughter!"
"My daughter doesn't need to get married!"
Xiao Xingyuan snorted; he would never let his precious daughter marry someone else.
Xiao Ce had never seen Xiao Xingyuan like this before, and now, looking at Xiao Xingyuan like this, he only felt that he was extremely cute.
However, he didn't say much. He just carefully took the child in his arms, kissed her gently, and then took off his favorite jade pendant and placed it in the child's swaddling clothes: "Aman, this is a gift from your elder brother. When you grow up, your elder brother will take you to read books and ride horses. Your elder brother wants you to be the happiest little girl in the world!"
That's more like it.
Xiao Xingyuan nodded in satisfaction, then leaned closer and gently touched Aman's cheek: "Father will love you well too!"
Aman was too young to understand what the two were talking about. She simply picked up the jade pendant Xiao Ce had given her, played with it in her hand, and almost instinctively tried to put it in her mouth.
At this moment, the wet nurse came over, took the jade pendant, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the child is hungry and needs to be nursed."
"Yes, serve the princess well."
Xiao Xingyuan returned the child before leaving with Xiao Ce.
“Now that you’re not young anymore, it’s time to arrange a Crown Princess for you.”
"After seeing Aman, you shouldn't reject the child in Mingchu's belly anymore, right? Here's the address, go find her and live a good life."
Xiao Xingyuan knew that Mingchu was someone Meng Yanzhi cared about a lot, so he also hoped that Mingchu could have a good outcome.
“Father, they are also my flesh and blood, so of course I love them dearly.”
"However... to have a child before having a Crown Princess is probably against the rules."
Xiao Ce was also reluctant to part with the child, but he still felt that rules were paramount.
"Why don't we just give the child to the Crown Princess to raise?"
Xiao Xingyuan looked at Xiao Ce with some disdain. Was this kid not very bright? Was he an idiot?
Now, Xiao Ce suddenly understood: "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand. Thank you!"
That's more like it.
Xiao Xingyuan happily went to find Meng Yanzhi and told her about it.
Meng Yanzhi glanced at Xiao Xingyuan: "Do you really think the Crown Prince can accept this child, instead of arresting the person and having the child aborted?"
"The baby is five or six months along now. He can't bear to abort it. Besides, our Aman is so cute. He likes her so much at first sight. How could he bear to abort his own child? He's just being stubborn."
