After marrying the heirless prince, I gave birth to three children

"Yes."

A deep and hoarse voice sounded in front of him.

Xie Yao raised her eyes and met the dark and deep eyes, which seemed to be sucking her in like a whirlpool.

His Highness... he admitted it?

"Yaoyao." Xiao Ji approached Xie Yao, looking a little aggrieved, "You don't trust me like this."

Xie Yao felt guilty for a moment, but then quickly realized that she had been led astray by His Highness.

She said, "He..." He doesn't have that brain.

But before she could finish her words, Xiao Ji covered her lips.

They all say they are jealous.

She even mentioned other men in front of him.

The punishment is due.

"Your Highness, Crown Princess."

At this moment, the maid's voice came from the courtyard, "Miss Xie San jumped into the lake!"

The daughters of other families all left, but Xie Yuru did not leave.

Xiao Ji directly ordered Si Nan to lead people to send her back, but he didn't expect that such a thing would happen!

Xie Yao and Xiao Ji exchanged a glance, then immediately stood up and walked out. "How is the person?"

After all, she is a daughter of the Xie family. If something really happened in the Prince's Mansion...

"We were all there when the Third Miss jumped into the lake. She's fine, but she insisted on seeing His Highness and the Crown Princess."

Xie Yuru lived in the guest house of the prince's mansion.

When Xie Yao arrived, she heard a sharp shout from inside, "Xie Yao, I want to see Xie Yao!"

Xie Yao stepped into the room.

Xie Yuru immediately looked over with hatred and hostility, "Xie Yao, you want to send me away? No way!"

She had become accustomed to the wealth of the Prince's Mansion in recent days, so how could she be willing to leave just like that?

"We are both my father's daughters. Why can you be the Crown Princess?" It is obvious that she is the daughter his father loves the most!

Xie Yao signaled everyone in the room to go out.

Then she said, "It was Zhang who asked you to come to the Prince's Mansion, right?" Her words were not a question, but a firm statement.

Xie Yuru was about to retort when she heard Xie Yao continue, "When you arrived at the Xie family, people kept telling you how wonderful and wealthy the Prince's Mansion is..."

Xie Yuru's rebuttal was stuck in her throat. After thinking about it carefully...it was true.

Xie Yao chuckled, "Did you know that the one who was originally going to marry into the Prince's Mansion was Xie Yujiao? She is Zhang's biological daughter."

"But three days before the wedding, she was adamant about marrying off someone else, and Zhang actually agreed. Can you guess why?"

Xie Yuru's expression kept changing.

She knew about the marriage exchange, which was a hot topic in the capital at that time.

"What do you mean?" Xie Yuru looked at Xie Yao with a wary and suspicious look.

Xie Yao didn't answer but asked, "You don't really think Zhang doesn't know about your and Xie Jing's identities, do you?"

Xie Yao stopped talking and stood up to walk out, "Come here, send Miss Xie back to the Xie family."

"If Miss Third doesn't cooperate, tie her up and send her back."

Is she still afraid of Xie Yuru?

He just said these words because he was annoyed by Xie Yuru, so he just wanted to provoke her.

Xie Yuru was tied up tightly, stuffed into a carriage, and sent back to the Xie family overnight. Zhu Qing personally sent her there.

"Please tell Madam Zhang a message for me." Xie Yao ordered, "If you have time to stare at me, you might as well pay more attention to her daughter."

She knew more about Xie Yujiao's situation than Mrs. Zhang.

After sending everyone away, Xie Yao felt that the air in the Prince's Mansion was much fresher.

Xiao Ning was stripped of his title, and the case of corruption and epidemic in Nanzhou will be handled by the three departments.

At Xiao Ji's suggestion, it was not handled too cleanly.

Xiao Ning wanted to intervene, but the emperor warned her so she had to give up and stop for the time being.

The capital city calmed down for a while.

It was a hot summer day. Perhaps because of her pregnancy, Xie Yao was more afraid of heat than before. She rarely went out and stayed in the house with ice cubes all day.

Xiao Ji's "study" was also moved to the main house.

He held a book in one hand and a folding fan in the other, gently fanning Xie Yao.

The breeze blew Xie Yao's hair, and the unique body fragrance of Xie Yao rushed into Xiao Ji's nose.

Fortunately, after three months with Xie Yao, Xiao Ji's morning sickness eased a lot, and he was no longer feeling uncomfortable.

"I heard that Concubine Li has been released from house arrest?"

Because of the Wanshou Festival, Xie Yao also knew some news in the palace. "Wasn't Father very angry during the last Wanshou Festival?"

Xiao Ji continued fanning Xie Yao with the same rhythmic movement. He put down the book with his other hand, put his arm around her round, slender shoulders, and said, "As expected."

After all, she is the one who has been with the emperor for many years. If she didn't have any sincerity, how could she have been favored for so many years?

Besides...

"Your Majesty only knows that Concubine Li and the Imperial Preceptor are old acquaintances. From his perspective, perhaps only the Imperial Preceptor has a problem with my fortune-telling."

For the emperor.

He, the son who had been disliked for many years and who was considered to have "killed his first wife" in his heart, was really no match for Concubine Li, who had been pampered for many years.

Xiao Ji lowered his eyes slightly, his cold voice full of sarcasm, "He is unreliable."

Time passes.

His mother had passed away for more than 20 years. Although the emperor still showed great affection, Xiao Ji did not dare to believe it.

He did not dare to take a gamble and place his hopes of revenge on the emperor.

Besides, he hasn't found enough evidence yet.

Concubine Li has been in charge of the harem for many years, and what needed to be dealt with has already been dealt with. Even for him, it would be difficult to find any clues.

perhaps……

Xiao Ji thought of something and his eyes flashed slightly.

Xie Yao rested her head on Xiao Ji's shoulder, holding him tightly with both hands, and said in a soft voice, "Your Highness, I and the children are here."

That's right.

Some time ago, the court doctor checked Xie Yao's pulse and told the two of them a piece of news very accurately.

The Crown Princess is pregnant with twins!

Hearing this, Xiao Ji retracted his wandering thoughts and placed his hand on Xie Yao's bulging belly. "Yaoyao, thank you for your hard work."

Thanks to the Holy Body of Pregnancy, Xie Yao did not feel any hardship during her pregnancy.

Moreover, both children are very well-behaved. It is not too late now. Xie Yao has not changed much except that her breasts and belly have grown a little.

But she didn't say it.

She leaned in Xiao Ji's arms and said softly, "For Your Highness, I am willing."

Xiao Ji hugged Xie Yao tighter, as if hugging the whole world. He leaned on her shoulder, closed his eyes slightly, and whispered her name, "Yaoyao."

August 12.

The day of Xiao Ning and Hu Yanyuan's wedding has arrived.

Xie Yao and Xiao Ji didn't go out often these days because of her pregnancy, but they had to attend Xiao Ning's wedding.

The place is in the princess's mansion.

When Xie Yao was helped out of the carriage by Xiao Ji, she felt the gazes from all directions.

One of them was particularly sharp.

Xie Yao looked over——

It’s Xie Yuru!

Next to Xie Yuru... was Xie Yujiao, and the two of them were very intimate at the moment, like real sisters.

And the look in his eyes at her at this moment was filled with hatred and unconcealable jealousy.

Noticing her gaze, Xie Yujiao proudly puffed out her slightly bulging belly.

Seems to be showing off.

Xie Yao glanced at him and got off the carriage holding Xiao Ji's hand.

Zhu Qing followed and whispered, "Starting from this month, the Second Miss will often return to the Xie family."

"But every time I go back, Master Song is with me."

Xie Yao didn't look away and walked towards the main hall. "Let's go, it's time to pay our respects to my aunt."

She was talking about Yongle***, of course.

But before she took a few steps, Xie Yao noticed another sight, and she turned her head to look -

Although it was only a fleeting glimpse, she was sure it was that person.

Xie Yao raised the corners of her lips slightly, "It's going to be exciting."
