"Your Highness."

Xie Yao subconsciously reached out to grab Xiao Ji's sleeve, lowering her eyes slightly, "It's snowing today."

Xiao Ji thought Xie Yao was just concerned about him, and said with a gentle look, "I'll leave soon and come back soon."

After breakfast, Xiao Ji quietly left the house under the pretext of going to the study.

Xie Yao was thinking about what had happened recently, feeling a little absent-minded.

His Highness is not a careless person and would not repeatedly appear in front of her with a smell that she doesn't like.

Besides, she mentioned it the first time.

But the situation hasn't changed since then.

This only proves that the person who left the fragrance on His Highness... did it on purpose.

Even His Highness himself might not have noticed that he was carrying such a smell.

But whether it was directed at her or not.

Xie Yao didn't ask, and Xiao Ji didn't say anything.

However, Xie Yao was a little absent-minded because of this matter. She turned the purse in her hand a few times and then put it back on the table.

"Princess."

Zhu Qing came in from outside and stood by the brazier and replied, "News just came from the palace that Concubine Li fainted in front of the Yangxin Palace yesterday."

"His Majesty then allowed Xiao Hong to enter the palace for the family banquet."

The Chinese New Year was a big event. In addition to hosting a banquet to entertain his ministers, the emperor also held a family banquet.

Seeing Concubine Li's gesture, it was expected that the emperor would agree since he still had feelings for Xiao Hong.

Xie Yao was not surprised.

What's strange about her is...

Xiao Ning acquiesced and even condoned the occurrence of this incident.

Xiao Ning...what is he planning again?

Xiao Ji did what he said and went early and came back early. He obviously took a shower in the study before coming back.

After clearing the scent from his body and with his long hair still wet, he hurried to the main house...

Xie Yao hurriedly took a towel and wiped Xiao Ji's hair, saying angrily, "Your Highness, aren't you afraid of catching a cold..."

Before she finished speaking, she felt a sweet taste in her mouth.

It was Xiao Ji who opened the brocade box in his hand, picked up a piece of dessert and stuffed it into Xie Yao's mouth, "It's hot now."

It was a snack from Ruyizhai, a very famous restaurant in Beijing, and Xie Yao had recently become fond of it.

Xie Yao's mouth was completely blocked, her cheeks were bulging like a little squirrel, and she could only stare at Xiao Ji.

But her hands didn't stop moving, still helping him wipe his wet hair.

"I'll do it myself." Xiao Ji took the towel, took Xie Yao's arm and sat her on his mouth, then leaned over and kissed the corner of her lips, "Sweet."

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor hosted a banquet for his ministers.

Neither Xie Yao nor Xiao Ji went.

There was a family dinner on New Year's Eve, and the two of them were packing up to enter the palace.

Xiao Ji chose the clothes Xie Yao made for him without hesitation. After Xie Yao made three sets, he didn't allow her to make more.

But he loved all three sets of clothes very much and cherished them very much.

"Your Highness."

Xie Yao was wearing a red dress today, with a furry fox fur coat with a white fur collar and trim, which covered her whole body tightly.

The little face is hidden in the fur collar, and the pair of bright black eyes are particularly eye-catching.

She walked up to Xiao Ji, and a purse appeared in her hand, which she tied around the prince's waist herself.

"Did Yaoyao do it?"

Seeing this, Xiao Ji felt both fondness and heartache, "Yaoyao..."

Xie Yao withdrew her hand. "The purse is fine, and... this is a New Year's gift for His Highness."

"If Your Highness doesn't mind..."

"Nonsense!" Xiao Ji interrupted Xie Yao, "I've been wanting this forever, so why would I dislike it?"

He wished he could find an altar to worship him.

Xie Yao smiled gently, her eyes curved, and took the hot water bottle handed to her by Zhu Qing. She went out surrounded by Xiao Ji and a group of maids and servants.

Ruixue is a prosperous year.

In the new year, her situation was completely different from that of her previous life.

This time, she will have a completely new life.

As the carriage from the Prince's Mansion arrived at the palace gate, it ran into someone familiar.

It was Xiao Hong.

Unexpectedly, he also brought Xie Yuru.

Xie Yuru had obviously dressed up carefully, and her body was still covered with gold and jade, as if she wanted to use all the good things on herself at once.

As soon as Xie Yao was helped out of the carriage by Xiao Ji, Xiao Hong and Xie Yuru looked over at the same time, one in amazement and the other in jealousy.

But Xiao Ji and Xie Yao didn't even glance at the two of them, and directly got on the palace carriage, ready to go to the palace to rest first.

"elder sister!"

Xie Yuru took a step forward and said in a sharp voice, "I am here for the banquet today as well."

Xie Yao has some.

She has it too.

She is no worse than Xie Yao!

Xie Yao paused slightly, turned her head and nodded gently to Xie Yuru, "I know. Congratulations, Third Sister. This is your first time entering the palace, right?"

"The snow scene in the palace is very beautiful. Third sister, you can take a look at it more."

After she finished speaking, she said to Xiao Ji, "Your Highness, let's go into the palace first."

Xie Yuru: “…”

Xie Yuru bit her lower lip tightly.

Xie Yao...is he humiliating and mocking her?

Her mind was on fire, and she quickly walked to the side of the chasing car and wanted to get in. "We got here first, so if we have to leave, we should go first!"

The eunuch beside the carriage reached out to stop Xie Yuru and said in an awkward manner, "Second Madam, this is the carriage reserved exclusively for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

All the utensils in the palace are divided into different specifications according to rank, and not everyone can ride in the prince's carriage.

Neither the prince nor the princess can do it, not to mention the identities of these two now... It's really embarrassing.

The eunuch put it more tactfully.

But Xie Yuru didn't understand. She angrily scolded, "You flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. Why can she sit here but I can't? Do you look down on the Second Prince?"

"I dare not." The eunuch lowered his head and begged for mercy, but he did not dare to move aside.

Xiao Ji's eyes were cold, and he warned, "Get out of the way."

It was cold here, and he didn't want the wind to blow on his princess.

Xie Yuru was frightened by Xiao Ji's eyes and subconsciously took a step back, but she felt even more resentful in her heart.

Why is Xie Yao so lucky to be protected by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, while His Royal Highness the Second Prince...

"Someone is coming."

Xiao Ji didn't want to argue with Xie Yuru. When he opened his mouth, another voice spoke faster, "Send Miss Xie San back."

"If you don't know the rules...you'd better not embarrass yourself in the palace."

As the majestic voice sounded, Princess Yongle was helped out of the carriage by Pei Chen. She was very majestic, and her beautiful eyes with a stern look swept over Xie Yuru.

Xie Yuru felt her legs go weak and she almost fell to the ground.

"aunt."

Everyone was busy bowing.

Pei Chen waved his hand, and someone went to pull Xie Yuru away. Xie Yuru panicked and quickly looked at Xiao Hong, "Second Prince..."

Although she has used some tricks recently, she also boasts that she has a special position in Xiao Hong's heart.

"Take it away." Xiao Hong said without hesitation, "What a disgrace."

"Aunt, please forgive me. It's my fault for not disciplining me well enough. I made you laugh at me." Xiao Hong was also angry. He felt humiliated and looked down upon.

But he blamed Xie Yuru more for this incident.

Useless things.

Xie Yuru came in a show of force, but he couldn't even enter the palace gate and was sent back.

Xie Yao looked at her back as she was dragged away, and nodded slightly to Zhu Qing beside her.

Look forward to Xie Yuru.

Xiao Ning's tacit approval of Xiao Hong's entry into the palace made her suspicious, and today there was also Xie Yuru...

She had never let down her guard against Xiao Ning, and just to be on the safe side...she had just provoked Xie Yuru.

It would be better for Xie Yuru not to appear at today's banquet.
