Yao Yao thought about it and finally decided to tell her mother what happened today, and then ask her mother to persuade her father to thank Xie Qiheng in her father's name.

This way, she could preserve her reputation and show goodwill to Xie Qiheng.

Yao Yao immediately went to Yao's mother's yard.

Yao's mother was making pajamas for Yao's father. When she saw Yao Yao coming, she just glanced at her briefly and didn't look very enthusiastic.

Yao Yao knew that her mother was focused on how to please her father, otherwise she would not have been able to successfully become her father's heir as the daughter of an unpopular fifth-rank official.

Yao Yao bowed to her mother, then sat down beside her, aggrieved, "Mother, today I ran into Princess Anyang on the street. She bullied me and nearly whipped me, disfiguring me. If Prince Cheng hadn't happened to pass by and come to my aid, I'm afraid my appearance would have been damaged."

Yao's mother's face changed and she stopped sewing. Just as she was about to speak, Yao Yao continued.

"After returning home, my daughter asked my second brother to help me deliver a thank-you gift to the Chengwang Mansion to thank the Crown Prince. However, I didn't expect my second brother to take my daughter's words to heart at all. He just perfunctorily handled the matter and returned without even seeing the Crown Prince."

Yao's mother finally had the chance to speak, but she didn't care if Yao Yao was hurt, nor did she comfort her. Instead, she blamed her and said:

"How did you offend Princess Anyang?"

"In this capital, even the princes and princesses have to give her some respect. Do you think you are some kind of royal bride? How dare you offend her?!"

“Things that don’t know the heights of heaven and earth!”

Yao Yao stared blankly at her mother with tears in her eyes, looking at her in disbelief.

She was just pretending to cry, but now she is really crying out of grievance!

She was bullied, but her mother didn't think about seeking justice for her, instead she blamed her.

Compare it with the scenery in early summer, there is a world of difference.

However, she felt better when she thought of Xia Chujing's fate.

After Yao's mother finished blaming Yao Yao, she remembered that Yao Yao had asked someone to go to Prince Cheng's mansion to deliver a thank-you gift, and alarm bells suddenly rang in her heart.

"Your father intends to marry you to the crown prince, so don't do anything embarrassing!"

Yao Yao blushed when she heard her mother's subtext. "Mother! I know. I just wanted to thank the prince. I have no other intentions."

Just like in her previous life, her father intended to marry her to the prince as a concubine.

But later she was framed by her second uncle's daughter and was unable to marry the prince as a concubine. She could only marry a boy from a poor family.

That man only cared about romance, spending his nights in brothels and taverns. He had poor physical fitness and bad luck, so he died early, leaving her a widow.

Thinking of Xie Qiheng, she couldn't help but feel moved.

After all, she had been married in her previous life, so she naturally knew what kind of man was better.

If a man like Xie Qiheng could...

In her previous life, Xia Chujing married the prince as his principal wife, but the prince didn't like her at all and only wanted to take advantage of the Xia family's power.

Later, when the crown prince ascended the throne, he was afraid of the power of the Xia family and did not dare to let Xia Chujing give birth to a prince, fearing that the power of the foreign relatives would be monopolized and endanger the Xie family's kingdom.

Xia Chujing got pregnant three times, had two miscarriages, and even gave birth to a boy once, but unfortunately he died young.

As for why she knew all this, it was because the emperor later went to stay in the Summer Palace temporarily and met her by chance, so he secretly had someone bring her over to accompany him.

At that time, the emperor was reveling with her every night, and when he was drunk, he couldn't help but speak without thinking, and he said a lot of words to her that showed his dislike for Xia Chujing.

He also threatened that sooner or later he would get rid of the Xia family!

After staying at the Mountain Resort, the emperor was very pleased with her and said he would find a way to bring her into the palace.

Unfortunately, she was unlucky. When she was returning from the summer resort, she encountered bandits on the road and was stabbed to death.

She thought she was dead, but she opened her eyes and found herself back in time before she got married.

This time she had contact with the prince early on and won the favor of He Yunjia. Everything went smoothly, but today she stumbled with Xie Qiheng.

She is unwilling!

"Prince Cheng is the emperor's half-brother. Wouldn't it be a good thing if we could establish good relations with Prince Cheng's palace?"

"Mother, what do you say?"

Mother Yao thought about it and felt that what she said made a lot of sense. "I understand. I will talk to your father about this."

Prince Cheng is in his fiefdom, and the Crown Prince is the only master in Prince Cheng's mansion. It is difficult for her and the other female relatives to do anything, so they can only let the men do it.

Only then did Yao Yao leave satisfied.

Xiafu.

Chu Jing received the recitation task assigned by Xia's father, and she rushed back to the yard and started reading.

Although Xia Chujing was not good at studying, he still knew all the characters.

But she turned to the first page and read the original classical Chinese text in silence.

Chu Jing gritted his teeth and looked up the meaning while memorizing it by rote.

I studied hard at my desk from dusk until the moon reached its zenith.

This scared the maids in the room.

They all came over to persuade him: "Princess, it's already three o'clock in the morning, you should go to bed early!"

"Get up and read tomorrow, don't ruin your eyes!"

Third update?

Chu Jing confirmed that it should be around eleven o'clock in the evening.

After reciting this passage, Chu Jing did not continue and successfully went to bed before twelve o'clock.

Perhaps because he had been reciting the book for too long before going to bed, Chu Jing was reciting the book in his dreams.

The next day, at daybreak, Chu Jingyi opened the curtain and asked, "What time is it now?"

Yu Jin, in her pajamas, walked to the bed and said, "One o'clock in the morning, why are you awake so early, Princess?"

Usually the princess would not wake up until noon.

There is no need to pay respects or do other trivial matters, and no one in the mansion will blame the princess for anything.

Chu Jing didn't lie down again, but got up directly.

She originally planned to go out for a walk, but she heard a sound on the way, so she walked to the martial arts field, where Xia's father and Xia Bin were practicing martial arts.

Before Chu Jing even got close, the father and son had already spotted him.

Xia Bin looked surprised. "Little sister? Why are you here so early in the morning?"

Both Xia's father and Xia Bin were dressed in tight clothes, with tall and strong figures, and sweating profusely.

It looked like he could knock her away without a single punch.

Chu Jing trotted over with a bright smile, "A day's plan begins in the morning. Daddy and brother have been practicing for so long, how can I still sleep in?"

Just as Xia Bin was about to praise Chu Jing, Father Xia had already put away the knife, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, turned around and said:

"You've made a good decision. In that case, from now on, you should get up at dawn and come to the martial arts arena for practice! With your brother teaching you a few moves, you won't be easily injured by some brat who shows up out of nowhere!"

Chu Jing was shocked when he heard this.

She just wanted to take a walk and exercise her body so that she wouldn't be out of breath after running a few steps. But she didn't want to master martial arts!

She would rather recite ten classical Chinese texts than practice martial arts for an hour.

Studying is tiring, exercising is deadly!

"Dad, I still have to memorize my lessons these days. Wouldn't it be too tiring to practice martial arts?"
