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

Xie Yao had a serious expression.

Originally, Xiao Ning had been keeping an eye on her and Cheng Fengqi. If she was caught...

Even if it had nothing to do with her, she would find it difficult to let it go.

This world is harsh on women.

Although she did not agree with Xiao Ning's behavior at first, she agreed with Xiao Ning's words about fighting for women all over the world.

Zhao Hao was frightened by Xie Yao's reaction and quickly explained, "Don't worry, cousin, it's just the two of us, there's no one else."

"Brother Cheng knows the importance of this."

"Heh." Zhao Ying sneered, "If he knew the seriousness of the matter, he wouldn't do such a thing!"

Xie Yao did not refute.

Zhao Hao lowered his head in shame, not daring to argue with his two sisters.

Xie Yao glanced at him and said, "Forget it, it's all in the past. There's no need to mention it again."

Zhao Ying glared at Zhao Hao again, feeling disappointed with him.

Zhao Hao lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, cousin, I..."

He felt pity for Brother Cheng because he was truly pitiful. Besides, this would also put his cousin at ease...

"No problem." Xie Yao said, "What you said today just reminded me."

If Cheng Fengqi can't even control his mouth...

A cold light flashed in Xie Yao's eyes.

The Zhao siblings were still there, so Xie Yao didn't think too much about it and quickly changed the subject.

Xie Yao was still in confinement after giving birth, so the Zhao siblings did not bother her for too long. They just accompanied her for some snacks and then left the Prince's Mansion.

Xie Yao was about to lie down and rest.

Zhu Qing walked in from outside, "Crown Princess, there's a rumor going around the capital today, saying..."

Zhu Qing looked a little hesitant.

Xie Yao frowned and said, "Speak."

"It is said that His Majesty wants to choose two concubines for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in this selection. Even the candidates are being rumored."

"Miss Lin Panpan from the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion, Miss Xuan Yue from the Crown Prince's Tutor's House, and... Miss Wei Chan."

Xie Yao: “…”

They are all acquaintances.

"Crown Princess, this..." Zhu Qing was worried and angry. Her Crown Princess had just given birth to twins for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and was still in confinement.

Can't wait to welcome the newcomer?

"Don't worry." Xie Yao gave Zhu Qing a soothing look, "I'll ask His Highness tonight."

"Please send a message to Sister Ying for me and ask her to help me investigate something."

Things that were inconvenient for her to check.

Zhu Qing felt a little relieved when she thought about how much His Highness cared about his Crown Princess, and then she helped Xie Yao to rest.

Xie Yao originally had the habit of taking a nap in the afternoon.

I lay down today but couldn't fall asleep.

Xiao Ji came back late today and finally returned home just before dinner time. He went to the main courtyard as soon as possible.

Accompany Xie Yao to have dinner.

Xiao Ji had just sat down for a while when he noticed the Crown Princess's eyes on him.

From time to time she would look up at him.

Miss him?

His Crown Princess is good in every way except that she is spoiled and clingy...it's truly a sweet trouble.

Xiao Ji was just thinking about how to appease his Crown Princess when he heard Xie Yao say, "Your Highness hasn't been congratulated yet."

Xiao Ji: ???

Congratulate him?

Xie Yao said: "Congratulations, Your Highness, you will soon welcome a beautiful lady into your residence..."

Xiao Ji couldn't eat anymore, "What beauty?"

Xie Yao raised her eyebrows, "There are rumors out there that the Crown Prince's Mansion will also have two concubines in this selection."

She stared at Xiao Ji, her heart in her throat, feeling a little nervous.

"It's completely false!" Xiao Ji said firmly. He was originally sitting next to Xie Yao, and now the distance between them was even closer.

He stared at Xie Yao with his blazing eyes without blinking, "That's absolutely not the case, Yaoyao."

"A few days ago, my father summoned me to the palace and did bring up this matter, but I rejected him at the time!"

Xiao Ji said quickly and urgently, "Yaoyao, please don't misunderstand."

Xiao Ji could naturally hear Xie Yao's sarcasm and see her temptation, but his Crown Princess felt insecure, which was because he had not done well enough.

He deserves to be pampered and spoiled.

Xiao Ji pulled Xie Yao's hand and placed it on his left chest. His chest was burning hot. Xie Yao curled her fingers slightly and subconsciously wanted to retract them, but Xiao Ji held them even tighter and more firmly.

The affection in his eyes almost overflowed as he looked at Xie Yao.

"Yaoyao, did you hear that?"

Xie Yao was slightly startled, "What?"

Xiao Ji raised the corners of his lips slightly, "My heart is beating for Yaoyao."

...that's what she once said!

Xie Yao felt her heart was filled with joy, yet at the same time, she felt a little embarrassed. It turned out that she had been like that, like that...

"There won't be any other concubines, no one else." Xiao Ji interlocked his fingers with hers, "Only you."

"Now, Yaoyao, can you trust me?"

……

A few days later.

The results of the imperial examination were finally announced.

Zhao Hao was on the list, but his ranking was not very high, and the top scorer this time... was Cheng Fengqi.

When the news spread, Xie Yao was listening to Zhao Ying talking about what happened last time.

"Yaoyao, I checked. What Ah Hao said was indeed private, between the two of them."

"He's somewhere else, and even when he was drunk he never said anything nonsense. Don't worry too much."

What Xie Yao asked Zhao Ying to investigate was Cheng Fengqi's matter.

She was worried that Cheng Fengqi would talk nonsense after drinking, ruin her reputation, and give Xiao Ning and others a reason to attack her.

After hearing this, Xie Yao breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

"Thank you for your help, Sister Ying."

Zhao Ying glared at her. "You're still telling me this? Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him from now on. If there's any news, I'll tell you the first time."

She just looked down on Cheng Fengqi.

Why did you go early?

"Okay." Xie Yao agreed with a smile, "Sister Ying is so nice."

"Oh right," Zhao Ying said, "I heard that someone mentioned the concubine matter to your Highness yesterday, and your Highness denied it right away."

"I'm afraid the news has spread throughout the capital now, and the rumors have been proven to be false."

Zhao Ying felt very happy, and was even happier for Xie Yao. Although she was marrying into a wealthy family, she was able to gain His Highness's true love...

Xie Yao raised the corners of her lips and hummed, "Your Highness has mentioned this to me."

The two sisters were talking.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside.

Zhu Qing rushed in with an ugly expression, "Crown Princess, something bad has happened!"

Xie Yao and Zhao Ying looked up at the same time, "What's wrong?"

"Today, rumors are spreading in the capital that you, Crown Princess, have been having an affair with this year's top scorer in the imperial examination, the young Marquis of Changning, Cheng Fengqi... You are not worthy of being the Crown Princess."

boom!

Zhao Ying slammed her hand on the table. "Nonsense! Are these people crazy?"

Xie Yao also had an ugly expression.

There was even a sense of finality in my heart: it had finally come...

She is innocent.

But it was true that the two families had discussed marriage in the past, and Cheng Fengqi's attitude towards her, and the letters he sent her one after another...

I'm afraid something went wrong with Cheng Fengqi.

She had clearly reminded him a long time ago!

Zhu Qing's face was extremely grim. "The results of the imperial examination were announced today, and the entire capital is discussing this matter. This rumor spreads very quickly and widely!"

"Besides the rumors, there are also... the things you gave to the young marquis when you were young, the poems he wrote... and the portrait he painted of you..."

"Now, I'm afraid the whole capital knows about it!"
