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

How can this be the same?

Xie Yao subconsciously refuted in her heart.

As someone who has experienced this, she testified that it is not the same no matter who she marries.

but……

Xie Yao looked at Xuan Yue's calm eyes with complicated feelings.

Xuan Yue is serious.

"Crown Princess, there's no need to feel sorry for me." Xuan Yue saw Xie Yao remained silent for a long time and took the initiative to speak: "When my father arranged this marriage for me, I didn't object."

"If the Third Prince had not suffered this misfortune, there would be many people in the capital who would envy me. Now that it has come to this... naturally I have to bear the responsibility myself." Even when saying such words, Xuan Yue's expression was very calm, like a pool of stagnant water without ripples.

Seeing Xie Yao's speechless look, Xuan Yue smiled again, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Crown Princess."

Xie Yao didn't find it funny, but instead felt a little sorry for Xuan Yue.

What Xuan Yue just said meant that she had no objection, which means that she had been the one who was arranged from before until now.

Even someone as favored as Xuan Yue had no choice but to passively accept marriage.

If Grand Tutor Xuan really respected and cared about Xuan Yue's opinion, Xuan Yue would not have to come to her to plead for Grand Tutor Xuan.

Xie Yao shook her head. "Miss Xuan's pure filial piety is truly touching."

She did not directly answer Xuan Yue's request, and Xuan Yue also knew her limits and did not insist on an answer again and again.

But because of this exchange, the relationship between the two seemed to have become much closer.

Not far away, the Third Prince stopped and watched this scene, his lips curled up in satisfaction, "Xuan Yue did a great job indeed."

"Xiao Ji loves and values ​​Xie Yao. As long as Xuan Yue builds a good relationship with Xie Yao and lets Xie Yao whisper a few words in his ear, there's no need to worry that Xiao Ji won't choose me."

The guard immediately said, "Your Highness is wise!"

Xiao An was in a good mood. He glanced at the guards and said, "Let's go and see my good brother!"

Xuan Yue was building a good relationship with Xie Yao, so naturally he couldn't sit idle and had to go build a good relationship with his good brother.

He took a two-pronged approach to ensure that after Xiao Ji's death, he could smoothly take over everything Xiao Ji had now.

……

Xie Yao and Xuan Yue left the palace, and Xuan Yue followed her to Xie Yao's carriage. "I'm really sorry to bother the Crown Princess today."

Xie Yao paused slightly, looked at Xuan Yue and said, "Miss Xuan, you are really smart."

Just now, when Xiao An was standing not far away and watching them, her eyes were not very restrained. However, after practicing martial arts to strengthen her body, she was very sensitive to these gazes.

Xuan Yue understood immediately, "I knew I couldn't hide it from the Crown Princess."

She felt a little scared. It seemed that her honesty was indeed the right decision. If she had just "used" the Crown Princess, she was afraid that her words today would have backfired.

Xie Yao smiled and took Zhu Qing's hand and got into the carriage.

The carriage slowly headed towards the Prince's Mansion. Zhu Qing asked curiously, "Crown Princess, do you want to help Miss Xuan?"

Xie Yao asked back: "Do you want me to help her?"

Zhu Qing shook his head. "Although Miss Xuan does look quite pitiful, it is absolutely impossible for Grand Tutor Xuan to force her onto His Highness!"

As a woman, although she felt a little sympathy for Miss Xuan, the most important thing in her heart was naturally her own Crown Princess.

Xie Yao smiled, a hint of deep thought flashed in her eyes, and said, "Maybe... I can help her in other ways."

Zhu Qing looked puzzled, but Xie Yao said nothing more, only saying, "Let's go back to the Prince's Mansion."

As soon as Xie Yao returned to the Crown Prince's Mansion, a steward came forward as if seeing a savior, "Crown Princess, you are finally back!"

"Miss Shanshan is clamoring to leave. I remembered your instructions and didn't let her go, but I can't keep her any longer..."

Before the steward could finish his words, Xie Yao heard Shanshan's arrogant voice, "Get out of the way! I want to go home! If you don't get out of the way, I'll let bugs bite you!"

As soon as Shanshan said this, several people who knew the inside story took a few steps back, fearing that they would be bitten by the bugs.

A space immediately appeared around Shanshan.

She hummed contentedly and walked out.

But after taking two steps, she saw Xie Yao standing at the door. She stopped instantly and gave an embarrassed smile.

"What a coincidence, Xie Yao, you're back so early..."

She thought that since Xie Yao entered the palace today, it would take a long time for her to come back.

Xie Yao: "Where are we going?"

Shanshan's arrogant voice had already softened. She blinked, smiled sweetly, and said, "I want to go home."

"Xie Yao, since you have nothing else to do with me here, why don't you just let me go home? I promise I won't run around. I just want to go back and see what the situation is like in my new home in the village..."

Xie Yao's expression gradually softened because of Shan Shan's words, but she still refused, "No."

Shanshan's face suddenly darkened. "Xie Yao, how could you do this? I've done everything I should have done. Even if you keep me, you can't keep my heart!"

Xie Yao: “…”

She raised her hand to signal the servants to step back, then walked towards Shanshan.

"Crown Princess..." Si Bei said with some worry. After all, Shanshan had a precedent before and wanted to take action against the Crown Princess.

In the past, when His Highness cared about the Crown Princess, Shanshan dared to take action. Now that His Highness has lost his memory, if Shanshan...

"Nothing." Xie Yao replied calmly.

Shan Shan also glanced at Si Bei and rolled her eyes in annoyance, "Don't worry, I won't touch Xie Yao even if I touch you."

Now... she quite likes Xie Yao.
