BXBX NOVEL Chapter 201 - 201:
Princess Xuancheng’s words were equivalent to placing all her weight on Xiao Baoxin. Although there was a scheme, there was also trust. She could still see this.
Xiao Baoxin did not think that it was good for the princess of Xuancheng to be as naive as before. As long as she did not hurt anyone, some schemes and some uses were allowed.
Whether it was family or friendship, being overly harsh was not a long-term solution.
If she took everything seriously, with her talent of being able to hear everyone’s thoughts, if she did not suffocate herself to death, she would probably become cynical and live alone.
The most important thing between people was to have a good heart. As long as the heart was good, what was the occasional harmless little scheme?
Even in the past, she had always known that Xiao Jing ‘ai had some thoughts, but it was just Lil’ Miss’s whining. She was jealous of her this, jealous of her that, and they still got along very well.
However, Xiao Jing ‘ai changed after that. Now that she thought about it, she was reborn at that time. She only had herself in her eyes. In order to achieve her goal, she would do anything. She even did not care about the life and death of the entire Xiao family. All she wanted was to fulfill her vanity and become the mother of a country.
This was a great evil, and she could not tolerate it.
As for the princess of Xuancheng being in the palace, people’s hearts were unpredictable. She had plotted for herself and did not hurt her or the Xiao family. This did not matter.
One must not have the heart to harm others, but one must be wary of others. Princess Xuancheng understood this. It was her, and it was a good thing for King Xin ‘an.
Xiao Baoxin stayed in the palace and accompanied Princess Xuancheng every day. Besides copying Buddhist scriptures, he would chat with the Empress Dowager. All day long, he would talk about the things between Imperial Concubine Liu and everything that Princess Xuancheng could remember. He would probably talk about it once, and tears would fall when he talked about it. One or two days was fine, but Xiao Baoxin could not stand it anymore. Princess Xuancheng was still young. If she did not say this, she would become old-fashioned and eccentric. If she became distorted in the future, it would not be easy to twist it back.
Hence, he began to pull Princess Xuancheng to practice boxing every day. They fought for half an hour, and indeed, after a few days, his complexion improved. Even the Empress Dowager had praised the princess of Xuancheng for being more cheerful, but it turned out that she was too gloomy.
It was on the sixth day after Xiao Baoxin entered the palace that he saw Prince Xin ‘an again. Prince Xin’ an went to pay his respects to Empress Dowager Pan. His cheeks were originally still a little chubby, but after not seeing him for a while, he had become frighteningly thin. He had lost more than two rounds of weight, and his clothes swayed on his body.
Prince Xin ‘an looked more like Liu Guifei than Princess Xuancheng. In the past, there was a 60 – 70% resemblance on the face. Now that he had slimmed down, his eyes immediately became bigger. Other than his slightly pale face, he looked more like Liu Guifei.
“.. My sister has always been spoiled by her aunt. She doesn’t know the world and has a straight stomach. It’s hard for her to have a few close friends. With Lady Xiao by his side, Little Wang felt at ease.”
After meeting the Empress Dowager, Xin ‘an Prince and Princess Xuancheng went to her room. Xiao Baoxin wanted to avoid suspicion and hide outside to let the siblings talk for a while, but Xin’ an Prince stopped him.
If the princess of Xuancheng had matured a lot, then Prince Xin ‘had grown up overnight.
If it was in the past, Xiao Baoxin would find it hard to believe that he would be so patient to be polite with her here. He would probably have run away long ago and would not even have time to hide from her.
“Sixth King is too polite. Princess and this official’s daughter have always been on good terms. When princess is sad, this official’s daughter is obliged to accompany princess.”
Xin ‘an King nodded.” In the past, I was misled by rumors and had always been biased against you. I hope you don’t blame me.” His father often said that what you hear is false, and what you see is true. Little Wang had only recently felt this.”
“.. Although the marriage between Xuancheng and your brother had not been mentioned to the Ministry of Rites, Sikong Xiao’s approval and Imperial Father’s words had already been decided. When Xuan Cheng was young, she was spoiled and lawless. Fortunately, she was kind and cheerful. Sometimes, she did bad things with good intentions, but she really did not have bad intentions towards others.”
” After marrying into the Xiao family, with the Xiao family as her backer, Little Wang would be at ease. Sikong Xiao’s character had always been praised by his father. Big Lady was free and straightforward. With Big Lady’s protection, Little Wang would be at ease.”
Those polite words were thrown at him as if they were free, and Xiao Baoxin was flattered.
How was he trying to rope her in? He was pulling the entire Xiao family to his side.
The Xin ‘an Prince said that the princess of Xuancheng was rampaging. In fact, in the past, he was also very free to do whatever he wanted and did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.
After Noble Consort Liu’s death, Prince Xin ‘an changed almost overnight. His entire person became calm, and his shrewdness and shrewdness increased exponentially. He must have inherited Emperor Yu Heng’s mind. Without the influence of Noble Consort Liu, he learned everything Emperor Yu Heng taught him by example.
The siblings wanted to pull the Xiao family to the side, and this was not without Emperor Yu Heng’s instructions.
Otherwise, he would not have decided on Xiao Baoshu’s marriage for Princess Xuancheng at this time.
There were some things that he could not say to Princess Xuancheng, but Xiao Baoxin was not afraid to tell Prince Xin ‘an,””The Sixth King has already said that we will be a family in the future. There is no need to be so polite.”
The Xin ‘an King smiled, her eyes curved.
When Xiao Baoxin saw this, he couldn’t help but gasp. He was wondering why Emperor Yuheng was paving the way for King Xin ‘an without any regard for propriety. This King Xin’ an was too similar to Noble Consort Liu, especially when he smiled. He looked exactly like her.
Even Emperor Yuheng, who was possessed, said that he had not seen Prince Xin ‘an before because he was angry and blamed him for his carelessness that led to Noble Consort Liu’s death. However, there was more or less a reason why he was afraid to see him. It was too similar.
At this point, Xiao Baoxin had almost finished speaking, so he got up and left, leaving the time for the princess and sister of Xuancheng.
After a while, Princess Xuancheng bit her lip and said,””I heard the palace people say in private that it was the Empress…”
“No.”
Before she could finish, Xin ‘an King interrupted her,””Don’t listen to the nonsense of others. It’s me… You killed my mother.”
“No, 1 can’t! Brother, it wasn’t you. Don’t say that.”Princess Xuancheng’s tears flowed down her face.
The siblings started crying silently.
“You also don’t want to.” “You didn’t kill my mother, brother!” Princess Xuancheng shouted.”
What was the difference between this and him killing them?
However, Prince Xin ‘an reached out to wipe his tears and said,”
“Alright, 1 won’t say it anymore. But Xuancheng, remember, regardless of whether Mother was killed by the Empress or not, we are irreconcilable enemies with the Crown Prince. If we can’t bring him down, we won’t have a good ending when he ascends the throne. From the moment Abba wanted to change the crown prince, the Crown Prince and we will not rest until one of us is dead.”
“We can only fight the Crown Prince and Empress to the end. The Xiao family will definitely be of use to us.”
” Originally, Imperial Father wanted us to mourn for Mother for three years, but the officials strongly opposed it. Imperial Father’s heart has wavered…” “Father loves mother so much, how can he be swayed? 1’11 go and tell father to let us observe mourning! I’ll defend!” As Princess Xuancheng spoke, she walked out, but was pulled back by Prince Xin ‘an. He said helplessly,
“Mother is a concubine and does not conform to the ancestral system.”
“But my mother is my mother”
” Xuancheng.” Prince Xin ‘an looked at his innocent and naive little sister. Although he tried hard to figure it out, most of her was still ignorant. He endured it and finally said it.
“Do you know why Imperial Father wavered in the end?”
“Are you forcing me too much?” Princess Xuancheng cried.”
The King of Xin ‘an:” Father wants us to mourn for Mother, but after mourning for three years, we have to stop all social interactions and marriage…Three years later, when the Crown Prince’s wings were even more powerful, everything would be set in stone.”
“Do you understand?”
