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

Xie Yao was stunned, staring blankly at Xiao Ji in front of her.

For a moment, she even wondered... if her prince had returned!

But when she met Xiao Ji's eyes, she instantly woke up.

not at all.

"Sorry." Xiao Ji, sensing her loss, apologized somewhat bewilderedly, "I..."

"Your Highness, there's no need to apologize." Xie Yao looked at Xiao Ji, "I'm already very happy that Your Highness can wake up."

Xiao Ji felt a sweet taste in his throat and his lips turned a light red. Before Xie Yao noticed, he quickly swallowed the rusty liquid in his mouth.

He walked out first as if nothing had happened, "Let's go."

"I still need to pack some clothes and go see Zhaozhao Suisui again." Although it was only one day since they last saw each other, he already missed the two children a little.

Maybe... this is blood relationship?

Xie Yao was stunned for only a moment, then immediately followed. There was worry hidden in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Ji, but she still said, "Okay."

The couple left the palace in silence again. After getting on the carriage, Xie Yao asked, "Have the Marquis of Zhenbei and Achan left?"

Xiao Ji looked at Xie Yao in surprise. She... knew everything?

"I know." Xie Yao nodded affirmatively and continued, "This matter can only be concealed for a while, but not for long..."

"I know." Xiao Ji regained his composure and nodded, "A few days will be enough."

When Pei Chen and Wei Chan arrive in the northern border, even if his aunt finds out and wants to summon them back, he will stop her.

Xie Yao nodded.

The carriage was once again quiet, with only the sound of the wheels turning...

The Prince's Mansion wasn't close to the Imperial Palace, so the carriage quickly arrived at the gate. Xiao Ji was the first to get off the carriage, skillfully reaching out to help Xie Yao...

Looking at the bony hand reaching out to her, Xie Yao paused, then lowered her eyes and got off the carriage.

Xiao Ji paused for a moment and silently withdrew his hand. He wasn't embarrassed, but he felt a little empty inside...

"Your Highness, let's go." Xie Yao took the lead and stepped into the room, keeping a sufficient distance from Xiao Ji.

"Your Highness, please go and visit Zhao Zhao Sui Sui." Xie Yao said, "I'll have dinner prepared and pack things for Your Highness."

Xiao Ji: "...Okay."

"Crown Princess." Zhu Qing followed Xie Yao. "Your Highness just reached out to help you. Why did you avoid him?"

Xie Yao shook her head gently, "Nothing."

Although His Highness didn't say it or show it just now.

But she still realized that her words had not been completely ineffective on His Highness. Even if it was only for His Highness's health, she should try her best to keep her distance.

The future is long, don’t rush for the moment.

Xie Yao prepared dinner and watched Zhu Qing Yuyan and others pack up things for Xiao Ji.

She thought for a moment and picked out two pieces of clothing, "I won't take these two."

This dress... was made by her for Xiao Ji herself. It has always been Xiao Ji's favorite and he cherishes it very much. Even though it has been made for more than a year, it is still brand new, which shows how much Xiao Ji cherishes it.

She didn't allow him to bring it because she didn't want the clothes to irritate Xiao Ji.

"Crown Princess, His Highness has arrived." A maid's voice came from outside the door. "Dinner is ready."

Xie Yao and Xiao Ji had dinner in silence, then she handed the packed luggage to Si Nan and personally saw Xiao Ji off from the Prince's Mansion.

Xiao Ji's carriage had just left the Prince's Mansion when Si Nan poked his head in and delivered a message: "Your Highness, Grand Tutor Xuan just sent a message saying he wants to see Your Highness."

"Your Highness, would you like to see me?"

Xiao Ji nodded, "Let him go to the Yangxin Palace."

He was only acting as regent, so although he handled government affairs in the Yangxin Palace, he was actually doing so in a side hall.

When Xiao Ji arrived, Grand Tutor Xuan was already waiting. Upon seeing the Crown Prince enter, Grand Tutor Xuan immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

"What does Grand Tutor want to see me about?" Xiao Ji walked past Grand Tutor Xuan and sat down in the main seat. He showed no respect to Grand Tutor Xuan as he did to the Master.

Both of them knew the reason very well, and Taifu Xuan naturally did not dare to do anything wrong by relying on his status as Taifu.

Upon hearing the question, Grand Tutor Xuan immediately put on a flattering smile and said, "I congratulate Your Highness on winning the position of Regent."

Xiao Ji chuckled lightly, picked up the teacup handed to him by Li Dajian, took a sip, and did not respond.

An embarrassed look flashed across Grand Tutor Xuan's face, but he patiently said, "I came here today because I have something to ask of Your Highness."

As Master Xuan spoke, his knees softened and he knelt on the ground.

He showed his true feelings, his eyes were red, and he looked a little pitiful.

But Xiao Ji's heart was calm.

Grand Tutor Xuan's voice choked with sobs, "Your Highness is of noble descent, while I am of humble origin. However, I dare to say that there is one thing that we share in common."

"Your Highness and I are both fathers, and we both have daughters. I would like to ask Your Highness to have mercy on my father's heart."

Xiao Ji understood. He looked at Grand Tutor Xuan and asked, "Do you want to cancel the third son's marriage?"

Xuan Taifu knelt down, knocking his head to the ground. "Even if people scorn me for my responsibilities, accuse me of being heartless and ungrateful, and breaking my promise... no matter what, I am solely devoted to my daughter."

To be honest, Xiao Ji was a little moved.

Tutor Xuan said something right: they are both fathers and they both have daughters.

So when he saw that Master Xuan was willing to give up everything for his daughter, he was quite moved.

There are many parents in this world who do not love their children, especially girls. In the eyes of many people, they are the hub of interest exchange.

Although Taifu Xuan was eager to arrange a marriage for Xuan Yue and Xiao An, his original intention was also for Xuan Yue's happiness.

but……

He definitely can't get involved in this kind of thing now.

"Didn't Master Xuan tell the third brother?" Xiao Ji asked instead of answering.

Master Xuan raised his eyes, smiled bitterly, said nothing, and yet said everything.

Xiao An refused to let him go.

Seeing that the Crown Prince remained silent, Master Xuan grew anxious. He could not help but continue, "Your Highness, you and my daughter were acquainted in the past. As long as Your Highness is willing to save my daughter, I am willing to let my daughter enter the Crown Prince's mansion as a slave!"

He saw today that the relationship between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess was not as good as rumored.

Today in the Yangxin Palace, the two of them had almost no communication.

Moreover, although the Crown Prince's time is running out, he now has the responsibility of supervising the country. If Xuan Yue enters the Crown Prince's Mansion, will there be other opportunities...

There is no need to worry about Xiao An's counterattack and revenge in the future.

Taifu Xuan was plotting something in his mind, but he didn't notice that Xiao Ji's originally warm expression suddenly turned dark after hearing his words.

Xiao Ji's eyes were cold and heavy, and there was no warmth in them anymore as he looked at Master Xuan.

To be a slave or a maid?

How could the daughter of a dignified Grand Tutor enter the Crown Prince's residence and simply become a slave? Grand Tutor Xuan's ambition... was obvious!

"Taifu Xuan."

Xiao Ji's icy voice interrupted Grand Tutor Xuan's reverie. His eyes were cold, "Miss Xuan's engagement with the Third Prince was personally arranged by our father. As a son, how can I change it? Grand Tutor Xuan's request would only put me in a position of unfilial piety and injustice."

"If Grand Tutor Xuan really doesn't want Miss Xuan to marry into the Third Prince's household, then you should talk to the Third Prince."

Grand Tutor Xuan: "Your Highness..."

Taifu Xuan was dumbfounded. It was obvious that His Highness didn’t have this attitude just now!

He cursed in his heart, if Xiao An would agree, why would he come to ask Xiao Ji for help?
