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

"Thank you, aunt."

Xie Yao retracted her gaze and thanked Lord Yongle. Originally, His Highness was going to give such instructions, but as Lord Yongle was the elder, the effect would naturally be better.

*** arrived just in time.

*** glanced at Xie Yao, his eyes falling on her bulging belly, "It's cold outside, let's go in first."

Pei Chen winked at the two of them as he passed by them.

He has helped today, and it is only right to reciprocate... The Crown Princess must remember his kindness.

Xiao Ji helped Xie Yao onto the carriage.

Finally, Xiao Hong was the only one left standing in front of the palace gate. He walked towards the carriage and took his eyes off Xiao Ji and Xie Yao's carriage.

He licked his lips and lowered his eyes slightly to hide the desire and madness in them.

Xie Yao looks...

Even more tempting.

It gets dark early in winter, so the lights in the palace were lit early and the banquet finally began.

The fight for the throne was fierce in the early years. After Emperor Yongle supported His Majesty to ascend the throne, there were only a few remaining princes, and they were all sent to their fiefdoms.

Therefore, the number of people at the family dinner was not large.

The emperor sat at the top, with the empress's seat vacant. To his right sat Emperor Yongle, and below him sat Xiao Ji and a group of princes and princesses.

Next to Xie Yao sat Xiao Ning, and below them were Hu Yanyuan, Xiao Hong...

Sitting on the left are Consort Shu and other palace concubines.

The sound of stringed instruments gradually rose in the hall, making it very lively.

Xiao Ning held up a glass of wine and looked at Xie Yao with a smile, "Sister-in-law, Happy New Year."

The glass in front of Xie Yao was not wine. She raised her glass and clinked it with Xiao Ning's. "Happy New Year."

Xiao Ning drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

His eyes moved down to Xie Yao's waist, "Is the Imperial Sister-in-law about to give birth?"

"Yes." Xie Yao smiled faintly and asked, "It's been a while since the princess and her husband got married. Why is there still no good news?"

Xie Yao knew that Xiao Ning naturally could not have Hu Yanyuan's child, and for the time being she would not have anyone else's child.

She did it on purpose.

Xiao Ning said casually: "Maybe it's not fate yet."

Are those men... worthy of her bearing children?

The look she gave Xie Yao's abdomen was filled with pity.

What a pity, I tried so many times but failed...

"I heard that the Emperor's sister-in-law and Miss Xie San had an argument at the palace gate today?" Xiao Ning asked again, looking at Xie Yao with a bit of inquiry in his eyes.

Xie Yao's words today naturally reached her ears.

Did Xie Yao...guess something?

"I'm sorry to make a fool of myself, Princess." Xie Yao couldn't hide the disgust in her eyes and brows, as if she disliked Xie Yuru very much.

"Yaoyao."

Xiao Ning was about to say something else, but Xiao Ji brought a bowl of bird's nest to Xie Yao and said, "Use something first."

Xie Yao withdrew her gaze, smiled faintly at Xiao Ji, took the bird's nest and started eating it in small bites.

The bird's nest that Xiao Ji could deliver to her must have been thoroughly checked to make sure there was no problem.

Xiao Ning had no choice but to swallow back the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He turned his eyes and stood up and walked towards Yongle Palace.

The bird's nest is at the perfect temperature.

Xie Yao had just taken two puffs when she noticed someone's gaze falling on her——

She looked up.

It is in the direction of Concubine Shu and Concubine Li.

Many people looked at her today, even the emperor at the top of the table looked over frequently. But the look just now...

Be different.

Today's family dinner went smoothly and there were no unexpected events.

Because it was getting late and it was snowing heavily, Xie Yao and Xiao Ji stayed in the palace.

The palace was still decorated as it was last time, but it had obviously been tidied up again. As soon as I entered the palace, I felt a warm feeling.

Xie Yao gave Zhu Qing and others a day off and let them go to the side hall to play.

"Yaoyao."

Xiao Ji had a small box in his hand and placed it in front of Xie Yao. "I have prepared a New Year's gift for you."

Ok?

Xie Yao was a little excited.

She opened the box and was immediately shocked.

In the box...

There was a dagger.

Xie Yao's expression was a little weird for a moment. The gift given by His Highness was really... unique.

It was totally unexpected for her.

Xiao Ji didn't explain too much, only saying, "This dagger is called Blowing Snow, it can cut iron like mud. Yaoyao might keep it for self-defense."

he……

There are always times when I am not by Xie Yao's side.

The new year has arrived.

His Yaoyao spent a year with him.

But the time he could spend with Yaoyao... was reduced by one year.

Every day is a countdown.

Xie Yao picked up the dagger. The sheath looked plain, yet felt very textured. She pulled it out slightly, and the dagger reflected a sharp, cold light.

A strand of her hair fell, brushed against the dagger, and fell to the ground.

"It's so powerful it can cut hair, it lives up to its reputation." Xie Yao put the dagger away. "Thank you, Your Highness. I like it very much."

Xiao Ji's eyes softened, "As long as you like it."

Xiao Ji and Xie Yao stayed in the palace.

But Xiao Hong didn't.

He left the palace overnight and went straight to the Second Prince's residence. Upon hearing the news, Xie Yuru hurried forward to greet him.

She was wearing a red dress, a white fox fur coat, and had the same hair and makeup as Xie Yao today. She stood by the door, looking at Xiao Hong with eyes full of smiles, her voice soft and aggrieved, "Your Highness..."

Xiao Hong's anger suddenly dissipated a little.

He lowered his gaze.

He frowned and said with disdain, "Not even close!"

Xie Yuru's face stiffened slightly, her body trembled slightly, she lowered her head slightly, and bit her lower lip tightly to hide the hatred in her eyes!

Xie Yao.

Damn Xie Yao!

Seducing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wasn't enough, seducing the Marquis of Zhenbei wasn't enough, she also seduced her Second Prince...

If that person hadn't instructed her to dress up as Xie Yao, she would probably still be ignored now.

I finally got the chance to enter the palace today, but because of Xie Yao...

Xiao Hong looked at Xie Yuru's lowered eyebrows, which looked somewhat similar to hers, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little.

Forget it.

It was originally a toy to relieve boredom and satisfy his cravings.

He stepped forward, picked up Xie Yuru and walked inside, whispering in her ear, "Have a child for me."

Xie Yuru suddenly raised her eyes, her eyes flashing with joy, and she was so excited that she couldn't say anything more. "Your Highness!"

Xiao Hong's face suddenly darkened, and his voice was slightly cold with a warning, "If you do this, you won't be like her anymore."

Xie Yuru immediately lowered her eyes and acted weakly, "Your Highness... I, I am willing... I am willing to bear a child for Your Highness."

Xie Yuru sneered in her heart.

Only Xiao Hong would think that Xie Yao was weak and could be bullied.

In fact...Xie Yao is extremely arrogant.

But she could only act according to the person Xiao Hong imagined, otherwise it would not be "like" him.

Xiao Hong chuckled, threw Xie Yuru on the bed, and pressed on her.

He said...

But it’s just pregnancy, never birth.

A plaything.

Do you also want to have his child?

Xie Yuru didn't know what Xiao Hong was thinking.

She is working hard on her acting at the moment.

She clearly didn't feel anything, and even felt a little pain, but she still acted like she was completely engrossed...

She closed her eyes, afraid that her eyes would reveal her thoughts.

Xie Yao.

She will avenge today's shame!

Xiao Ji grabbed his clothes and covered Xie Yuru's mouth and nose... This way, it looked even more like...
