BXBX NOVEL Chapter 132 - 132: Her Name
The marriage between the Yang and Xiao families was settled without a sound, and only a few people knew about it.
But Pan Shuo naturally knew that he was there on the day Xiao Baoshu pointed at his nose and scolded Yang Shao.
In his opinion, Yang Shao’s actions were not proper. Even if Lady Xiao didn’t like him, he shouldn’t have given up on himself. What was this called? It would be awkward if they met in the future.
With Pan Shuo’s mouth, he immediately went into the palace and told the Empress Dowager. His opinion was quite agreeable to the Empress Dowager.
The gossip in the palace spread to Noble Consort Liu’s palace. When Princess Xuancheng heard this, she regretted it so much that she almost didn’t give herself a slap.
She was the one who had begged for the title of Xingping County Master, but the reason was that Xiao Jing ‘ai was righteous and chivalrous. For the sake of her own sister, he even dared to contradict her future mother-in-law. Of course, this was also because she herself did not like the wife of the He family’s eldest branch, so she deliberately embarrassed others.
Who knew that her good intentions would actually be fulfilled by such a person. She had snatched her sister’s man, and she had let down her mouth that was almost worn out from begging her father.
These few days, Princess Xuancheng practiced the fist technique that Xiao Baoxin taught her every day. She was considered to have made some progress. Now that she had beaten a eunuch and pinched him, her physique was much better.
Although it was a waste of manpower and money to do it for two hours every day, Imperial Concubine Liu saw that Princess Xuancheng was in high spirits. Her face was red and she was in high spirits, so she did not stop her and let her do as she pleased.
Princess Xuancheng was still not satisfied with Imperial Consort Liu’s words. The more she spoke, the angrier she became. She directly went to Emperor Yuheng and asked him to take back the title of Xingping County Lord. She was extremely regretful of her foolish actions.
“You’re still young and simple-minded. It’s not surprising that you don’t know people well. Just take this as a lesson. Do you think the emperor’s words are fake? A title was given and taken back just like that? Don’t make me laugh. Remember to judge people with your eyes next time. Don’t act on impulse again. Then your muddle-headed work won’t be in vain.”
Emperor Yu Heng heard the free follow-up story from his daughter and smacked his lips in satisfaction.
As expected, heroes still couldn’t resist beauties.
Or did he want to find a backer in the court?
It didn’t seem like it. He had to rely on his backer.
In Emperor Yu Heng’s opinion, Xiao Yun was the head of the family. He would first look for Lady Xiao, and if he failed, he would look for the Second Lady of the Second household. This was not a marriage, but a feud.
Yang Shao looked smart and capable, but he could actually do such a thing. It seemed that he still lacked experience and was brainless…It didn’t work.
With Xiao Jing ‘ai’s posture, she could still accept it. That could only be described as lust making one lose their wits.
“.. However, I feel like 1 did something stupid.”Princess Xuancheng was filled with righteous indignation.
Emperor Yu Heng stroked her head.” You can realize that what you did was stupid, which means that you’re not stupid. The truly stupid ones were all fools who thought they were smart.”
Princess Xuancheng did not get any comfort from the Emperor. Instead, it made her angry. He kept calling her stupid, but it sounded like he was calling her name.
In a fit of anger, he left the palace to look for Xiao Baoxin.
After receiving Emperor Yuheng’s words, Imperial Concubine Liu knew not to blindly block Princess Xuancheng. There were only benefits and no disadvantages to befriending the Xiao family, so she let Xuancheng go.
Xiao Baoxin only felt that she was being too easygoing. As the person involved, she didn’t feel anything. Everything was just a balance of interests in the adult world. However, each and every one of them was more irritable than her, making her doubt her life.
In this world, one should be happy about revenge. If you stab me, 1’11 chop you into half to earn back my money. Of course, 1’11 be happy.
When one did a bad thing, they wished that the heavens would strike them with lightning. That was karma.
However, people didn’t live in isolation. Although she could fight with Xiao Jing ‘ai until the sky turned dark and the earth turned dark, if she spread Xiao Jing’ ai’s dirty deeds, Xiao Jing ‘ai’s reputation would be ruined, and the entire Xiao family would be in trouble.
Xiao Jing ‘ai was willing to do anything for the throne of the mother of the country. She would not even blink if she had to sacrifice the entire Xiao family.
However, Xiao Baoxin couldn’t do it. She still had her parents and her brother to take care of. Xiao Miaorong was only eleven or twelve years old, so how could she be innocent enough to be implicated by Xiao Jingai?
For the sake of those people, Xiao Baoxin didn’t do anything. Otherwise, it would be strange if Xiao Jingxiang could stay in the back house to eat and drink and pray to Buddha in peace. Moreover, with the people left behind by Madam Xie, how could Xiao Jing love them well?
To put it bluntly, Xiao Jing ‘ai did not have much weight. Just because she had been reborn and was still stupid, she was not worth mentioning. It was just jumping up and down that made people feel disgusted.
The snake had to hit seven inches. When it really came to fighting, it was best to subdue the enemy with one move.
But now was not the best time to strike back.
In order to comfort Xiao Baoxin, Princess Xuancheng specially brought a lot of snacks and food from the palace, even a small dagger that she loved to play with.
“This won’t do. This is too precious.”
Xiao Baoxin didn’t know much about antiques, but when he saw the carved dragon and phoenix on the dagger and the ruby embedded in the handle, he knew that it was not an ordinary item. When he opened the scabbard, a cold light flashed. It was a precious blade that could cut through iron like mud.
“You know, the Great Ancestor of the current dynasty fought all over the world and killed more than ten emperors before he became the emperor himself. He got this from the private treasury of the former Han royal family. It was originally given to Empress Xiaowen. Empress Xiaowen rewarded King Jian An. Later, King Jian An rebelled and returned to the palace. Father saw that I was devoted to martial arts these days, so he found it and gave it to me.”
Princess Xuancheng explained the origin of the dagger in a logical manner.
“You’re my good friend, so I’ll give her to you. If she met a scumbag again, she would stab him with this.”
“..”The intention was good, but why did it sound so scary?
Princess Xuancheng gave it to him sincerely, and Xiao Baoxin really liked it, so he didn’t reject it and took it happily. However, deep down, she felt that she had made a killing because of Yang Shao’s dagger. Yang Shao was not worth it. She was a little terrified, afraid that she would take advantage of him.
So she emptied her heart and thought of something to return the favor. Finally, she remembered that when she was young, her father had hired a skilled general to make a bow and arrow for her. However, that was when she was ten years old. Now that her arm strength was far stronger than then, she had long been placed in the warehouse as a decoration.
At this moment, he remembered and slapped his forehead, ordering Tang Li to go get it.
Princess Xuancheng:” There’s nothing good in the palace. You mustn’t do this. I’m not trading with you.””
Her voice was loud and firm, but when she saw Tangli take the bow, her eyes immediately could not move away. She held it up and was unwilling to let go.
General Xiao was afraid that his daughter didn’t like to draw the bow and shoot arrows, so he specially ordered the craftsmen to make it beautiful so that his daughter wouldn’t be willing to put it down. Sure enough, he succeeded. Xiao Baoxin had slept with the bow and arrow every day for the first three months after he got it, and he had also trained the skill of piercing a poplar with a hundred steps.
“I don’t have much of an origin. My father asked someone to make it for me. If princess likes it, you can practice it. It’s not about being precise, it’s just about strengthening the body.”
Princess Xuancheng could not help but accept it. Without saying a word, she turned around and asked the head palace maid beside her to put it away.
The head palace maid was speechless.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. When the ladies of other families exchanged gifts, they would always decline each other and say some words of thanks. Only the princess of Xuancheng and Lady Xiao were clean and neat, receiving gifts as if it was natural.
He had finally met his match..
