BXBX NOVEL Chapter 575 - 575: Family Affairs
Princess Lujiang had always had an old grudge with her, so she couldn’t help but apologize to her with snot and tears in her eyes. She was afraid that because of this, she would be abandoned by the emperor and sent to Rouran. Even Consort Zhou, the mother of Princess Lujiang, had repeatedly found opportunities to express her goodwill.
Xuancheng was so annoyed that he went to look for the Emperor. Who knew that he would not see the Emperor, but hear the Emperor and Duo Fu’s complaints.
Concubine Zhou did not just go through Xuancheng. She had searched everywhere she could. The Empress Dowager’s palace was almost broken through. With Concubine Zhou’s torment, even the seven or eight-year-old princess’s aunt began to move. She was afraid that Emperor Yong Ping would go berserk and send a princess who was not from the same mother to a cold and bitter place.
Emperor Yong Ping felt that his good intentions had been eaten by a dog.
Of course, he wasn’t too kind.
However, Daliang had never had the tradition of marrying off a princess. This time, they were forced into a corner by the rebel army. They had to think of a way to win Rouran over. As for marrying a princess, he had never thought of marrying a real princess.
The accident was just that the fake princess that he had prepared died…
They didn’t prepare another one, and a gust of wind blew in the harem. Those real princesses felt like grass had grown in their hearts.
Was there a need to do that, especially that Concubine Luo in the harem? The princess was only six years old. Was there a need for her to tremble in fear every day, burn incense, pray to Buddha, and pray to Bodhisattva?
In fact, he was prepared to use princesses for political marriage, but he was thinking of princesses from aristocratic families or those from poor families, but they were outstanding people.
Especially Yang Shao, he didn’t intend to let go.
Just like how she liked Xiao Baoshu to be the son-in-law of her sister, she was indomitable.
Emperor Yong Ping felt stifled just thinking about it. When he couldn’t help but complain to Duo Fu, he mentioned Yang Shao. It was obvious that the timing was wrong. His charming and gentle wife (Emperor Yong Ping, are you sure?) – – He had just died, so he would probably agree after a while.
If it didn’t work once, it would be embarrassing for the emperor if it happened twice.
Yongping emperor from complaining to let more blessing to YangShao through words.
“How old is that Yang Shao? She’s in her twenties, right? He had also married a wife, and he didn’t know what his Imperial Brother saw in him. He was just an old man, yet he was in a hurry to marry him off as a second wife.”The eldest princess of Xuancheng sneered. The emperor had not long revealed his true identity to Consort Zhou. Now, Lu Jiang walked in the palace with the wind. He thought that he had stepped on the wind and fire wheels and had something to rely on for the rest of his life.
Xiao Baoxin really didn’t want to slap the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng, but…
“My brother used to… We’re already married.” He covered his face. A brain is a good thing. Your Royal Highness, I hope you have it.
Xuan Cheng was stunned. He seemed to have forgotten.
“Then she married a memorial tablet. How can it be the same?”She waved her hand. She was really magnanimous. “Moreover, how old is Xiao Baoshu? Fifteen? We were childhood sweethearts.”
Which plum and which horse?
How many times have you two met?
In fact, ever since Xiao Baoxin gave birth, Xuan Cheng had been making a ruckus to come over and take a look. This was her closest friend outside the palace, and she was also her future sister-in-law. However, she had been stopped several times by the Empress Dowager.
It wasn’t that she didn’t like Xiao Baoxin. The empress dowager had given birth before and was in the middle of recuperating. If the eldest princess went, would she receive her or recuperate?
This wasn’t giving him warmth. This was torturing him.
It was not easy to wait until Xiao Baoxin finished his confinement and the Xie family held a full moon banquet. The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng was finally able to leave the palace to see him. In the end, this was Xiao Baoxin’s big day. After a few words, people kept coming forward to greet him.
“It’s not easy to see you, but I can’t even say a few words.”The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng complained.
However, she couldn’t complain about Xiao Baoxin’s good days.
She knew her limits. No matter how important she was, could she be more important than Xiao Baoxin’s son?
While Xiao Baoxin was being called away by Mother Xie, the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng ran over to see Xie Yan in Lady Yuan’s arms. In just a short month’s time,’Zhen’ had already changed greatly. His eyes were bigger, his skin was fairer, and his already thick hair was even darker, making him look like a pink-faced jade doll. He looked 30% like Xiao Baoxin and 70% like Xie Xian, especially his eyebrows.
As for the three points, it was Xie Xian who forced it on Xiao Baoxin, afraid that she would be sad.
Xiao Baoxin actually didn’t care whose appearance she took after. Both of them had good looks, but this old son’s background was a little strange. She couldn’t wait to take after Xie Xian.
“Look, those eyes are so beautiful and so handsome.”
“You’re lucky. Your wife has just married and you’re pregnant.”
.. Madam Yuan, who was calm and composed, couldn’t help but smile as she hugged Xie Yan, as if she was saying,’You’re both good-looking and you’re right.’
The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng nodded her head secretly. It seemed that she had to be pregnant the moment she entered the door. It was better to get a man in one fell swoop. Every madam liked this. This was the direction she was working towards.
As the future daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, and with Madam Xie present, the Eldest Princess of Xuan City restrained her arrogance.
###
“You go deal with it. The butler is waiting for your orders outside. Remember, don’t make a fuss.”
Xiao Baoxin was called to Mother Xie, but he didn’t even say a few words before Mother Xie whispered into her ear and dismissed him.
He didn’t meet the old lady, so he didn’t know what was going on.
However, Xiao Baoxin did not hesitate at all. He found an excuse that he was tired and was persuaded by Mother Xie to go out and ‘rest’ with a smile.
The newly appointed butler was the original steward of Rong An Hall. His surname was Qi, and because he was the third in the family, everyone called him Qi San. It was Shi Zhong Xie who had personally selected the steward to be by Xie Xian’s side. He had been there since Xie Xian was six years old. He was also a loyal servant who had served the Xie family for several generations.
Ever since Housekeeper Xie was released into Cai Yuan’s family and bumped into Xiao Baoxin’s premature delivery, Xie Xian had dismissed Housekeeper Xie in a fit of anger. In the end, it was Housekeeper Xie’s negligence, and he could not blame anyone else.
Moreover, Xie Xian had rewarded him with a good manor and two manservants to serve him since he had served the Xie Clan for many years.
Other than the fact that the situation below the stage was not very good, he did not lose out in all aspects of retirement.
Qi San was the one who took over Butler Xie’s position.
Her appearance was the type that didn’t look very good in a crowd, but her way of handling things was different from Butler Xie’s. She was very decisive and didn’t drag things out.
“Madam,”
Qi San followed behind Xiao Baoxin with light steps. From the way he walked and the strength he used, he knew kung fu. “The two sons of the Cheng family came to the door, claiming to ask Third Master to save their lives.”
Qi San lowered his voice, but every word still accurately entered Xiao Baoxin’s ears.
She was stunned. It was the mistress of Third Master Xie, the one who gave him goosebumps when she spoke, the one who gave Third Master Xie three sons? No wonder he didn’t ask Madam Wang to handle this matter. It was a family matter.
“Where is he?” she asked.
“In the servant’s room, Furen…Do you want to go?” Qi San asked.
At that time, he had no choice but to bring them into the residence. The younger one had stretched his neck and fainted after shouting for his father to save him. The older one was dressed in rags and had a dirty face. However, his little mouth was powerful. He had clearly explained the origin of his master in a few words. If he continued to speak, he was afraid that all the people below would come to life pouring tea and eating melon seeds..
