Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered

The eldest princess saw that Xiao Jin's face darkened and his eyes were staring at her. She was shocked and knelt down immediately.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty!"

She began to kowtow continuously. She didn't expect Xiao Jin to be so angry about this. Her heart instantly began to beat fast. It wasn't because she was afraid of anything else, but because she was afraid that he would vent his anger on Heng'er.

"What did the Imperial Sister say? You are not guilty at all. I just found a good marriage for Xiao Heng."

It was impossible to tell whether Xiao Jin was happy or angry in his voice, but it was precisely this that frightened the princess even more.

Everyone knows that the more indifferent the emperor appears on the surface, the angrier he is in his heart, and the more ruthless he will be in scheming against others.

The eldest princess had already begun to tremble, waiting for the guillotine to fall on her head.

"Your Majesty, I shouldn't have acted on my own. I should have discussed this with my brother. I deserve death!"

This time Xiao Jin didn't say anything. He looked at the imperial sister who was kneeling below him, narrowed his narrow eyes, and understood what was going on.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess what the imperial sister is thinking. After all, the imperial sister has only had one son, Xiao Heng, for so many years.

Now he was sent to the border to guard the city. He knew that he wanted to hone Xiao Heng, but what did the imperial sister think? She was secretly doing something tricky.

At this juncture, marrying the daughter of the Song family is not to let Xiao Heng take her to the border, but to keep Xiao Heng in the capital!

Xiao Jin couldn't help but wonder, was this the imperial sister's own idea, or Xiao Heng's idea?

Is my nephew so afraid of harsh environments? Does he really not want to hone himself?

Xiao Jin was slightly disappointed, but since things had come to this point, there was no point in saying more. He waved his sleeves and said, "Get out. You can decide his marriage yourself. I don't care."

The princess' heart was shaken. She vaguely felt that Xiao Jin had given up on her, and on them, leaving them to drift with the tide...

How can this be possible?

The princess wanted to ask Xiao Jin for forgiveness again: "Your Majesty, I can go and cancel the engagement. If Your Majesty is not satisfied——"

"That's enough. I will no longer be involved in Xiao Heng's marriage. You leave!"

Xiao Jin interrupted the princess with a stern rebuke. He really didn't want to listen to this man's excuses anymore.

The eldest princess opened her lips, but finally followed Xiao Jin's instructions and retreated. She thought she could not bear Xiao Jin's anger, so she slipped away as soon as possible.

After the princess left, Xiao Jin fell into deep thought...

He wanted to find a daughter of a king with a different surname for Xiao Heng and a powerful in-law family for him.

After all, he thought Xiao Heng was really a loser. He had been brought up by his side since he was a child, but he did not have the demeanor of a king at all. He was also irresponsible and stupid and incompetent.

Xiao Jin saw clearly that if his time really fell and his life was coming to an end, Xiao Heng would definitely not be a good emperor.

He wanted to find a good queen for Xiao Heng, who, though not necessarily virtuous in either literature or martial arts, was definitely strong enough to suppress Xiao Heng's ambitions, restrain him, and prevent him from doing foolish things.

But unexpectedly, the imperial sister was afraid that Xiao Heng would suffer and wanted to keep him in the capital, so she specially chose a "good marriage" for him before this.

The daughter of the Song family should naturally be a weak and fragile girl, without a strong family background. She can only depend on Xiao Heng. How could she be a good queen?

It seems that he has to think of another way. It is time to take a wife, choose someone who does not disgust him, serve her, and see if he can have a child.

There should be many ladies from prominent families at the flower-viewing banquet tomorrow, and he has to meet them in person before he can make a decision.

No one knew what the emperor was thinking. He had tried to have contact with women when he was selecting concubines, but none of them made him feel disgusted, so he had to send them all away.

The people serving him were all eunuchs, not a single palace maid. Even into his bedroom, no palace maid was allowed to enter.

The Queen Mother also knew this and tried to get him to contact the palace maids dozens of times, but it was useless, so she simply stopped forcing him.

Whenever the Queen Mother thought of this, she secretly sighed with regret and felt guilty.

After all, Xiao Jin’s abduction was also due to her poor care. She always felt regretful and wished that incident had never happened.

Later, when she saw Xiao Jin bringing Xiao Heng up by her side, she cared even less about him. After all, they were all descendants of the Xiao family, and she could also give an explanation to the late emperor and the court officials.

Xiao Jin didn't expect Xiao Heng to be so useless. Forget it, he will try to get close to women. If it still fails at the flower-viewing banquet tomorrow, he can only abdicate to a capable minister from another family.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jin's eyelashes trembled, and he made up his mind. He really didn't want to...

I hope he can find someone who suits his taste tomorrow, otherwise, he can only accept his fate.

……

The eldest princess knew nothing about this. She was still feeling complacent, thinking that tomorrow she would be able to appease her brother, and then Heng'er would be able to stay in the capital.

She didn't know the truth that the emperor was infertile, she just thought he was unable to have children and couldn't have sex.

But they didn't know that Xiao Jin was not interested in women at all and felt disgusted when he saw a woman.

As soon as she returned to the Princess's Mansion, she checked her arrangements to see if there was anything she had missed. The effect of the medicine should be able to allow the Emperor to favor women.

After checking and finding that there was no problem, she felt relieved and prayed that everything would go well tomorrow.

……

Day two.

The Princess's Mansion was filled with flowers, with all kinds of precious flowers blooming all the way from the gate to the front of the hall. Clusters of bright and rare flowers amazed all visitors.

The princess did not have to receive guests in person, and asked her Heng'er to greet the guests. Seeing how humble and polite he was in dealing with people, the princess nodded with satisfaction.

The prince consort whispered in her ear: "Princess, look at our Heng'er, he has really grown up. This is a good time to make friends with distinguished guests. You are really far-sighted. I admire you."

The eldest princess now dislikes her husband-in-law a little. When she was pregnant, her husband-in-law had fun behind her back, but she tolerated it.

The son-in-law's surname was Lin, and he was the son of the Lin family, the Grand Historian of the current dynasty. At the beginning, he did not follow the system of recommendation, but took the imperial examination, and won the first place in one fell swoop, becoming a juren.

She admired this man from the bottom of her heart and begged her father to marry him, but Lin Hui disliked her for blocking his career and was lukewarm towards her.

What's even more outrageous is that he kept a mistress outside and didn't sleep with her. Finally, she sent someone to follow the prince consort, and after discovering the situation, she dealt with the woman and told her father, who dismissed him from his idle position.

The prince consort had no choice but to give in and live in harmony with her for a few years until she became pregnant, and then he took action.

Later, after she gave birth to Heng'er, she had someone secretly drug her husband. The drug prevented him from having sex. It was a palace drug that no one could detect.

The prince consort had no tools to commit crimes and no official position, so he was just like a lover, and could only depend on her and try to please her.

The princess was fed up with this spineless prince consort and ignored him, but she didn't expect that this man would shamelessly stay in the princess's mansion.

The eldest princess looked up lazily with disgust in her heart: "Why, you don't want to find a little maid?"

Before all the guests arrived, she rested in the pavilion so that she could watch the passing scenery and not miss the distinguished guests.

The prince consort gave a bitter smile. He no longer had the pride he had a few years ago, as life had smoothed his edges and corners. "Princess, please don't make fun of me. You taught Heng'er so well. I want to thank you and apologize."

The princess was getting impatient with the prince consort's constant chattering in her ear. Today was not just a flower viewing party, but...

But she couldn't let the prince consort ruin her good fortune, so she had better send him away.

"If you have nothing to do, go check if the guests have arrived and if there are any conflicts over seats. Don't hang around in front of me."

Seeing that the princess refused to listen, the prince consort sighed, nodded, and turned to leave. The eldest princess looked at his back, feeling inexplicably sad.

However, when the princess came to her senses, she noticed a commotion at the door, as if something had happened.

Her eyes were stern and with a strong scrutiny, she walked towards the crowd with slow and majestic steps.

"The Princess has arrived—"

Following a loud voice from the chief eunuch, the crowd that had gathered in layers dispersed, leaving the eldest princess a path to walk.

"See Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Seeing the eldest princess in a bright red palace dress, the woman looked so imposing that everyone came to pay their respects to her.

Because of this, the eldest princess saw Song Lingxi, who was surrounded by everyone, almost at a glance. There were so many ladies from famous families, but she could see her at a glance.

"No need to be polite. Who can tell me what's going on? And where's Heng'er?"

The eldest princess only took a glance and then turned her gaze away indifferently. She couldn't let anyone notice her "ulterior motives" and couldn't let anyone pay even a little attention to her.

"Mother."

At this time, Xiao Heng arrived late, wearing a green robe with phoenix patterns embroidered on the cuffs, giving off an extremely noble royal demeanor.

His clothes were neat, his hair was neatly combed, and everything was fine except that his lips were a little redder than before, which showed at first glance that he was fooling around with someone.

When Song Lingxi saw that look in his eyes, a huge resentment burst out from the bottom of her heart. All the tragic scenes of her past life appeared before her, making her feel a little shaky.

Song Lingxi was afraid that others would see her expression, so she quickly lowered her head. To outsiders, it seemed that she was shy by nature and did not dare to look directly at other men.

No one was suspicious. After all, no one would suspect that a woman with such an immortal appearance would be full of resentment.

The princess looked at the newcomer, glanced at him, and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she asked the other women: "Why are you all gathered together just now?"

The Prime Minister's wife was holding Song Lingxi's hand. Although Song Lingxi did not look up, it could be seen from her tightly clenched hands that she was not calm.

But she just thought Song Lingxi was shy. After all, she had never seen so many strangers in the Song Mansion. She was probably shy because she was surrounded by them and was stared at.

Then the Prime Minister's wife stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, it's nothing. It's just that my daughter-in-law came to your Highness's flower-viewing banquet for the first time, and she was dazzled by the colorful flowers and could hardly walk."

Everyone smiled knowingly after hearing this and looked at each other, accepting the Prime Minister's wife's kindness. No one refuted her and they all nodded in agreement.
