BXBX NOVEL Chapter 515 - 515: Am I My Wife?
Although he had only been away from home for more than two hours, Xiao
Baoxin was already hungry.
According to Xie Xian’s official position, she was arranged to sit at the front, but she could no longer care about these things. She was starving. Although she still cared about etiquette, everyone could tell that she was eating with her heart.
She was still elegant, but she couldn’t resist the speed of the food in front of
her.
It was obvious that the others had only tasted it briefly, but Xiao Baoxin was eating it seriously. He had left a foundation for all twelve dishes.
Xiao Ning smiled at Xiao Baoxin, but didn’t say anything. With Xiao Ning s current status, a single word from her could cause a heated discussion in the entire banquet. She was just showing off their close relationship and making things difficult for him.
But… In fact, Xiao Ning didn’t need to remind him.
Those who were far away knew about it by word of mouth.
The eldest daughter of the Xiao family was a foodie.
She could be considered the first person in history to be able to eat until her plate was empty at a palace banquet.
Although Xiao Baoxin had been re-educated by the Xie family, no one had ever told her that she could not eat with gusto at the palace banquet.
She was already very abstemious and was only 70% full.
I have to say that the imperial chef of the current dynasty is quite good. He hasn’t tasted it yet, but from the speed and appetite of this mother, it can be seen that she is extraordinary.
Mother Xie felt gratified and said to Madam Yuan,
“Seeing Baoxin eat well, the child must be healthy.
Madam Yuan smiled and nodded. Compared to when she was pregnant with Xie Xian, she vomited every two or three days and couldn’t eat anything. This was
much better.
However, she did not feel that her daughter-in-law had embarrassed the Xie family at all. Now, Xiao Baoxin had eaten the entire table in front of him clean. Madam Yuan and her daughter-in-law would probably clap their hands in joy and praise Xiao Baoxin for his talent. He could eat anything and might even give birth to some Hercules.
Madam Wang looked at the food on the table and her appetite disappeared.
There were people who pampered their children so much, but they had never seen someone who pampered their daughter-in-law so much…
She could be considered to have married into the Xie family and married the legitimate son of Mrs. Xiao. Why didn’t her mother-in-law dote on her so much when she first entered the family?
Was it because she was not good-looking or because her family background was not good enough…Madam Wang smacked her lips and looked at Xiao Baoxin before accepting her fate.
The Xie family did not pick on Xiao Baoxin, but after they had eaten and drunk to their heart’s content, they served him songs and dances. Some of them went out to digest their food after they finished eating. The atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed, not as restrained as before.
Xiao Baoxin looked at his future in-law, Zu Shi, sitting not far away from him. He smiled at her. The two of them looked at each other and went outside one
after another.
At this time, it was already dawn, and the sky was as clear as jade. The sun was bright and bright, and when it shone on her body, it was warm.
The two of them didn’t go far and found a place to sit on the veranda outside the hall. Xiao Baoxin was the first to express his gratitude.
“Thank you for the slimming prescription that Fourth Niangzi sent. These days, the family has been busy with the matter of the Empress’s marriage and did not have time to send you a thread to gather at home. When I have some, free time in the future, I will send you a thread when Fourth Lady is free. Let’s have a good gathering and let me thank you in person.”
“It’S good to be grateful, but it’s good to be together.”Zu Shi was beaming with joy. “You don’t know how silly I am at home. These days, I’ve been following my mother-in-law around, but I don’t know anyone. Even if they sat together, they didn’t have anything in common and couldn’t talk about anything. If you ask me, those people aren’t as straightforward as Eldest Lady. I also can’t stand them acting so arrogantly.”
This was flattering her, but Xiao Baoxin liked it.
The husband of the Zu family was currently a fifth-grade assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice and was qualified to meet the Empress.
Zu Shi herself felt like a country bumpkin entering the city. Everywhere she looked was new and interesting. She thought that she had to slow down before getting pregnant and having children. Otherwise, she would really not have seen anything after marrying into Jiankang City and would only have children to play with.
With three people on her left and right, she was fearless.
“Since that’s the case, then I’ll go back to the residence and post that we’ll meet in five days?”Xiao Baoxin laughed.
“Are you guys gathering again?” Xiao Miaorong suddenly walked out of the hall, her face full of envy. She also wanted to participate, but her family had been in constant trouble recently. She had returned to her family a few times, but now she could not go out again.
Her mother-in-law was only twenty years old, so she wasn’t strict, but she still had to listen to what others said.
Her San Lang had already reminded her.
“I can’t run around with my big belly, so I can only recruit people from home to make it lively.”Xiao Baoxin called Xiao Miaorong over to sit. There was no need to ask how she was doing. Her little face was pale and red, and her eyes were bright. She felt good just by looking at the couple.
” You’ve just entered the door, and you’re in your in-laws ‘house. Stop, don’t always run out.” In the future, you’ll have a carefree life.”
Xiao Baoxin didn’t say much, but who knew that Xiao Miaorong would directly agree,
“Yes, after the emperor’s wedding, San Lang will take me to Linhai to take up his post. These days, San Lang told me to serve my in-laws more at home, at least to leave a good impression before I leave and not let me go out more. It’s a pity that I can’t play with you guys.”
Zu Shi was surprised.
“You’re going to Linhai?”
“Your husband is going to be the prefect?”
With just this question, he knew the relationship between the couple. The imperial court always talked to their wife about everything, so it was obvious that Assistant Minister Lu had mentioned it before.
“Congratulations.” Zu Shi had heard Lu Dalang mention that Emperor Yong Ping thought highly of this bastard son of the Xi family. Before the war, he had wanted to send Xi Shao to Linhai to be the Grand Secretary. Later on, it was Xi Tingwei who claimed to be ill and ruined this matter.
Unexpectedly, after the war ended, good things still fell on Xi Shao’s head. Of course, what she didn’t mention was that the timing was too coincidental.
Everyone understood.
“Has the Emperor issued a decree?” When did this happen?”
-I don’t know either. San Lang said so.”Xiao Miaorong’s eyes widened.
“You dare to say that before the emperor’s decree? Is the official position decided by your family?” Xiao Baoxin glared at Xiao Miaorong. Why was this fellow so thick-minded?
She had heard Xie Xian mention that in the previous dynasty, there was a Minister of Official Personnel who had merely informed a good friend in advance and decided on some official position. In the end, it spread like a gust of wind. The Emperor flew into a rage out of humiliation and directly dismissed the Minister of Official Personnel. This was leaking state secrets, and he was dismissed because of the leak.
In the eyes of those who were interested, what difference did Xiao Miaorong s words have from that Minister of Personnel Affairs?
Zu Shi also coughed twice and lowered her voice,”
“These words can be big or small. Without an edict, Third Lady should not make it public in advance, lest it spread and implicate your husband.”
Xiao Miaorong was also shocked when she heard this.
Zu Shi: Am I a wife?
These words sounded a little useful, but also a little shameful. This Xi Xiao was really sincere.
“It doesn’t matter if the three of us sit together and talk about it.”
Xiao Baoxin was exasperated that he had failed to meet his expectations.” You should listen to your San Lang’s words and stay at home to serve your in-laws. Don’t go out.” With your big heart, you might ruin all the good things that Xi Sanlang did.”
When Xiao Miaorong heard that it concerned Xi Shao’s future, she wilted.
Her little face twitched like a dried potato as she stammered,””San Lang has warned me, but I think, aren’t we all family.-.I’ll pay attention in the future…”
