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

Zhu Qing heard Xie Yao's words and followed the Crown Princess's gaze. "Crown Princess, what's all the fuss?"

Xie Yao smiled and said, "Let's go."

However, Xiao Ji had some vague doubts and protected Xie Yao even more closely.

In addition to Emperor Yongle, Concubine Li also arrived today.

Concubine Li has regained favor. She is dressed elegantly and luxuriously today, sitting high up at the head of the table. When she sees Xie Yao and Xiao Ji, hatred flashes in her eyes.

The smile on his face grew even brighter. "The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are here. Please take a seat."

Xie Yao and Xiao Ji paid their respects to Concubine Li and Empress Yongle, and sat opposite Empress Yongle.

Many people's eyes fell on Xie Yao's lower abdomen. Concubine Li was laughing at the joke, while Emperor Yongle had an unclear expression.

"Looking at the Crown Princess's belly, she must be five or six months pregnant." Concubine Li's voice was a little exaggerated.

Xie Yao’s belly is naturally not that big.

The most important thing is that the prince’s wedding has only been five months, and these words are really heartbreaking.

Yongle *** also frowned slightly.

She used to think that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were smart people, but now... she really didn't understand.

Xie Yao smiled and said, "Empress Li must have remembered it wrongly. It's only been four months."

"But the palace doctor said that I'm pregnant with twins, so my belly will be bigger than that of an ordinary pregnant woman."

Xie Yao had a happy smile on her face, but the words she said shocked everyone around her.

In addition to Concubine Li and Empress Yongle, many officials' wives and noble ladies came out to congratulate them.

The main hall was filled with joy.

Today is clearly Xiao Ning's wedding, but the focus has shifted to Xie Yao.

Princess Li was naturally angry.

Her eyes swept across Xie Yao's lower abdomen, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes... This evil child must not be allowed to stay!

She had finally dealt with the big one, and now there were two small ones?

Even if these two are bastards, they deserve to die for taking the title of the prince's children!

But Xiao Ji and Xie Yao were both very cautious and had hardly gone out in the month since the Wanshou Festival. Where should she start?

For a moment, the only sounds in the main hall were the compliments of officials' wives and noble ladies. Xie Yao responded very politely without losing the demeanor of a Crown Princess.

When Concubine Li discovered this, she was angry again.

Xie Yao deserves to die too!

Xie Yao naturally noticed the murderous look in Concubine Li's eyes, but she simply ignored it.

Concubine Li is not the only one who wants her life.

Princess Li wants it?

Go queue up at the back.

Xie Yujiao definitely wants her to die more.

Xie Yao and Xiao Ji arrived late, so the wedding ceremony began soon. Xiao Ning married Huyan Yuan, but it was not considered as getting married.

Instead, Hu Yanyuan moved to the princess's mansion.

Concubine Li sat at the top. Just as the two newlyweds were about to get married, a voice came from outside.

"My sister is getting married, how can I, as her younger brother, not be there?"

Everyone followed the sound and went out——

The crowded crowd automatically made way for a path, and the person who slowly walked in was the former second prince, Xiao Hong, who had been demoted to a commoner.

One month no see.

Xiao Hong has changed a lot. His originally well-proportioned figure has now become thin.

His facial features appear thinner and more three-dimensional, and his temperament has changed from being gentle to gloomy.

He held a brocade box in his hand and looked at Xiao Ning, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a sinister look.

The surrounding area became quiet for a moment.

Xiao Ning had a bad feeling in his heart, but he couldn't just chase the person away in front of all the guests.

I just cursed in my heart, why did Xiao Hong run out?

Concubine Li stood up suddenly, her eyes red, and staggered forward two steps, "Hong'er! You, why did you come out? Does your father know?"

Leaving the house without permission is a serious crime!

It would be fine if it was done in private, but it had to be done in front of so many guests...

"Mother." Xiao Hong called out, but his eyes were fixed on Xiao Ning. "I'm here to give my sister a wedding gift."

"I'll leave after I'm done."

Xiao Hong walked forward, holding the brocade box in front of Xiao Ning, "Sister, won't you open it?"

Xiao Ning's eyes were heavy, and the brother and sister looked at each other.

Xiao Hong moved his lips slightly and silently said two words "account book".

The confusion in Xiao Ning's mind suddenly dissipated, and she understood why her title was stripped away.

She raised her hand and opened the box in Xiao Hong's hand.

boom!

"what--"

The contents of the brocade box rolled to the ground, and the guests around screamed.

Xie Yao felt a darkness before her eyes!

But it was Xiao Ji's big hand that blocked her way at the first moment.

Xie Yao felt a little warm in her heart, but she was still a little scared when she saw the gift clearly.

What Xiao Hong gave was nothing else.

It's a head.

The head of Xiao Hong's confidant who accused Xiao Hong of spreading the plague.

All the guests in the princess's mansion had left, and it was now extremely crowded and messy, but Xiao Hong burst into laughter.

Xiao Hong laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. "Do you like this gift, sister?"

Xiao Ning's eyes were gloomy, with murderous intent hidden in them.

Xiao Hong, what a great Xiao Hong!

Xiao Hong ran away secretly and was quickly taken away by the Jinwu Guards after appearing at the princess's mansion.

But Xiao Ning and Hu Yanyuan's marriage was completely ruined by him.

"It seems that he didn't find any evidence." Xie Yao was helped into the carriage and said softly, "It's really useless."

If evidence had been found, the case should have been overturned today instead of causing this.

Xiao Ji was very satisfied with his evaluation of Xie Yao.

He peeled the grapes that were frozen in the carriage and brought them to Xie Yao's lips, saying, "He's barefoot now and he's not afraid of wearing shoes."

Xiao Hong has nothing to lose except his life.

However, such behavior was not enough to make the emperor take his life, so he was not afraid.

Xie Yao nodded, "What about Your Highness?" Have you found any evidence of the epidemic?

"Pei Chen said that when I was in Nanzhou, a man in black appeared in the Second Prince's residence."

"But the man was extremely well-covered. Apart from his tall stature, no other features could be seen."

"Tall?" Xie Yao frowned slightly.

Xiao Ji nodded and said, "We are already investigating in this direction, but these can all be disguised. Open your mouth."

The two had just returned to the Prince's Mansion.

The steward immediately came forward and said, "Your Highness, Crown Princess, the Xie family just sent an invitation, inviting Your Highness and Crown Princess to return to the Xie family for the Mid-Autumn Festival."

During the three festivals of the year, married women have to return to their parents’ home.

As the Crown Princess, Xie Yao would naturally have to go to the palace if there was a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, so she could ignore it.

But since the passing of the late empress, the emperor no longer held a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

Now that the Xie family has personally sent an invitation, if Xie Yaoruo still ignores it, she will inevitably be criticized.

If she has no desires, doesn't care about what others think, and only cares about her own happiness, then she can naturally ignore it.

But she wants something!

Xie Yao's hand fell on her lower abdomen and she looked at the prince, "Your Highness?"

Xiao Ji understood immediately, but he only said gently: "If you want to go, go."

"I will accompany you."

Xie Yao pursed her lips and immediately said, "Then let's go to Xie's house and sit for a while, and then go to Zhao's house for dinner, okay?"

Xiao Ji nodded, "It's up to you."

Princess House.

The wedding banquet was ruined. Xiao Ning returned to the study, the anger on her face having subsided. She walked straight into a secret passage in her bright red wedding dress...
