After applying the medicine, the prince ignored Xie Yao's objection and insisted on getting out of bed.

Xie Yao had no choice but to follow the prince.

But at dinner time, the prince came to the main courtyard.

Xie Yao was stunned. "Your Highness?"

She's almost used to eating alone.

The prince glanced across the table and sat down calmly, "Let's eat."

When he said "yes" today, he agreed to both of these things at the same time.

Xie Yao was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled, "Your Highness is so kind."

The prince was dazzled by Xie Yao's smile, then lowered his eyes and ate in silence. But the tips of his ears turned slightly red...

Xie Yao keenly noticed this scene and was greatly excited!

Capturing the prince is just around the corner!

After dinner, Hongdou returned to the Prince's Mansion to report. She held the reward given by Madam Xie in her hands.

When Xie Yao decided to tell Madam Xie about this matter, he asked Zhu Xin to arrange people in Tianshui Lane and wait for news from there.

After listening to Hongdou's account of Madam Xie's reactions and words, Xie Yao said, "Well done. Thank you for your hard work."

"Tomorrow I will have someone take Ping An to Mr. Qingshan's residence. You don't have to worry about him, but your mother... you need to pay more attention to her. Let her live in the mansion."

Mrs. Xie is not an easy person to deal with.

"Thank you very much, Crown Princess." Hongdou was extremely grateful at this moment that she had laid out all of Madam Xie's plans and conspiracies that night and chose the Crown Princess!

The Crown Princess is the wise leader.

Xie Yao chuckled and motioned Zhu Qing, who was waiting on the side, to hand the things to Hongdou.

Hongdou took it and took a look. It was the indenture between her and her mother!

"Tomorrow, if you safely become Mr. Qingshan's last disciple, you and your mother will be free again."

"But I hope you and Ping An can do me a favor."

"Before the apprenticeship ceremony, no matter what rumors you hear, do not come forward to clarify them."

Even if she doesn't do it now, Mr. Qingshan will come and tell her about it because of his love for Ye Ping'an.

Since she wanted to make good connections, she naturally didn't mind investing more.

Hongdou's eyes were filled with tears and she kowtowed heavily to Xie Yao.

Xie Yao did what she said. Not only did she ask for a letter of recommendation, she also went the extra mile and asked the prince for someone.

The next day.

Si Nan personally took the letter of recommendation and went to Mr. Qingshan's residence with Ye Ping'an. He left in the morning and returned to the Prince's Mansion alone in the afternoon.

"Your Highness." Si Nan returned to the study. "That boy is indeed a talent, with a photographic memory. Master Qingshan praised him highly upon seeing him and has already decided to accept him as his last disciple!"

"We've kept him at Cui's residence today, saying we'll choose an auspicious day to host a banquet to celebrate this event."

What is Mr. Qingshan's identity?

He is so satisfied, which shows that Ye Ping'an is a talented person.

The prince raised his eyebrows slightly. He was not expecting this. He didn't know where Xie Yao found this person from.

Si Nan continued, "Your Highness, in this way, Mr. Qingshan's closed disciple can be considered a member of our school."

Ye Ping'an is young, but Mr. Qingshan has other disciples.

Although there are not many of them, they are all very important and upright civil servants in the court, not to mention Mr. Qingshan's influence on the literati of the world...

Xiao Ji glanced at Si Nan and asked, "Have you reported this to the Crown Princess?"

Si Nan's expression froze slightly, and he lowered his head. "I'll go right away!"

Si Nan was about to leave when Xiao Ji suddenly said, "Forget it."

"Go alone."

Sinan:??? Why does he feel that His Highness just wants to meet the Crown Princess?

Before he could say anything, Xiao Ji had already stood up and headed towards the main courtyard.

Xiao Ji finished talking to Xie Yao about this matter.

Although Xie Yao had expected this, she was still very happy to hear the news. Investing in a child prodigy was one thing, but what made her even happier was that it had cut off Song Wenbo's future.

At this moment, the maid Cherry walked in from outside, "Crown Princess, someone is coming from the palace."

"The Imperial Concubine has sent someone to invite you into the palace for a chat."

Again!

Xie Yao understood that there was no way to avoid this matter.

Moreover, she had just refused the imperial concubine's invitation on the pretext of being sick last time. If she refused again today, it would mean a fallout.

Xie Yao nodded slightly at Zhu Xin, indicating that Zhu Xin should go out and agree to this matter.

She was getting ready to change her clothes when Xie Yao stood up and noticed the Crown Prince was still sitting. She was about to say something when Xiao Ji took the initiative and asked, "Would you like me to go into the palace with you?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but it is not necessary." She could handle it.

After Xie Yao said hello to Xiao Ji, she boarded the carriage to the palace alone.

She followed the young eunuch all the way to the Weiyang Palace where the imperial concubine lived.

As soon as I entered the room, I heard a savage voice, "I heard that Second Miss Xie was originally supposed to be the Crown Princess. Why did you end up marrying into the Crown Prince's Mansion?"

"Could it be that you are greedy for the splendor and wealth of the Crown Prince's Mansion?"

Hearing this voice, Xie Yao paused and clenched her fists. Only the pain could make her slightly sober.

The person who spoke was Song Wenbo's mistress.

Xiao Ning, the eldest daughter of the imperial concubine and the emperor.

She was given the title Princess Heyi.

I heard that the Emperor loved Princess Heyi so much that His Majesty didn't arrange a marriage for her until she was only 29 years old.

Xie Yao raised her eyes and saw Xiao Ning, dressed in a bright red palace dress, sitting lazily to the lower right of the imperial concubine. She had fair skin and delicate features, and her pair of phoenix eyes were looking at her coldly, with a powerful aura.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

Xie Yao greeted him first, then said calmly, "Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. My marriage to the Crown Prince was arranged by my father and the elders of my family. I really don't dare to take the initiative."

"Hmph." Xiao Ning looked Xie Yao up and down, a flicker of jealousy in his eyes. "You're so sharp-tongued!"

Xie Yao said generously, "Thank you for the compliment, Princess."

Xiao Ning: “…”

Pooh!

"Ning'er!" The imperial concubine sitting at the head finally spoke. Even though she had given birth to a child as old as Xiao Ning, she looked no more than thirty. Her phoenix eyes were identical to Xiao Ning's, and both mother and daughter were incredibly beautiful.

Her voice was gentle, and it made people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze. "Crown Princess, Ning'er is still young and outspoken. I hope you will not take it personally."

You are young, but you like to play around!

In her previous life, she had seen too many live pornographic shows and couldn't even look Xiao Ning in the eye.

"Your Highness is too polite. As the Crown Princess and the Princess's sister-in-law, I will naturally understand and tolerate her."

"Good boy." The imperial concubine smiled kindly, "Sit down quickly."

"The Crown Prince has a cold personality and there are few servants in his mansion. It would be unfair for you to marry him." The imperial concubine narrowed her eyes slightly. "How have you been getting along with the Crown Prince these past few days?"

Asking questions knowingly!

Xie Yao didn't believe that the imperial concubine didn't know the situation in the prince's mansion.

"The prince is a man of integrity and considerate nature. It is my honor to marry His Highness." Xie Yao's voice was soft, and she replied in a random manner.

The imperial concubine's mouth twitched slightly. Is she considerate?

Xie Yao has lost her mind!

"Puchi!" Xiao Ning couldn't help but burst out laughing, his laughter full of disdain for Xie Yao.

The imperial concubine did not smile. There was a hint of inquiry in her eyes as she looked at Xie Yao.

Her people had already found out that the matter of Manager Ding from the Prince's Mansion lending money at high interest rates was a clue that Xie Yao discovered accidentally.

Is it really an accident?
