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

No answer.

Guilty...

The smile on Xie Yao's lips deepened. She hummed and walked towards the gate of the mansion with the prince.

Xiao Ji pulled his hand but couldn't pull it out.

He could use all his strength, but it would be awkward, and there were so many people here... He might as well just pretend that his right hand didn't exist.

It was the first time that the two of them walked side by side, and Xiao Ji realized that Xie Yao was indeed a bit slow.

He had to slow down.

Si Nan, Zhu Xin, Zhu Qing and others were walking behind. At this moment, they looked at each other, and the three of them were winking at each other, showing some tacit understanding.

"Your Highness."

As Xie Yao walked, she whispered, "Will His Highness come to pick me up after the banquet today?"

Xiao Ji frowned, feeling that Xie Yao was really taking things too far.

"Sure," he replied.

Xie Yao was supported by Zhu Qing and got on the carriage with a bright smile. Xiao Ji stood there for a moment, waiting for the carriage to go away before he suddenly realized what he was doing.

Then he turned around quietly and went back home.

Princess Heyi's Mansion.

To show his respect, Xiao Ning came out to greet Xie Yao in person when she arrived. She was accompanied by several tall and handsome men.

Several men were wearing long robes with wide sleeves, showing their romantic style, and they had masks in the shapes of various animals on their faces... which made them look very indecent.

Seeing this situation, Si Nan immediately stepped forward with the spirit of not losing the battle even if it meant losing the battle.

Xiao Ning's beautiful eyes swept over Si Nan, quickly confirming his identity. The smile on her lips faltered slightly, "Sister-in-law, please."

"Last time in the palace, it was thanks to the Empress's sister-in-law that she saved me." Xiao Ning hinted at something.

Xie Yao smiled a little shyly, "You're too polite, Princess. I'm just worried."

Really shameless.

Xiao Ning secretly praised in his heart and led Xie Yao inside.

And stopped Si Nan.

Si Nan naturally refused, as his mission today was to protect the Crown Princess.

Finally, Xie Yao made the final decision, "Don't worry, the princess's mansion is heavily guarded, nothing will happen."

If Si Nan was there, how could she hear what Xiao Ning really wanted to say?

Princess Heyi's residence was built to be extravagant and exquisite, even more so than the Crown Prince's residence...

Xie Yao was welcomed into the hall.

The ones who came forward to serve were not maids, but the handsome men who had been accompanying Xiao Ning since a while ago.

"Please use it, Princess."

The rabbit man poured a cup of tea for Xie Yao and presented it respectfully with both hands.

Xie Yao's eyes casually swept from him to Xiao Ning, "Is this the princess's token of gratitude?"

Xiao Ning clapped his hands.

The weak-looking rabbit men retreated immediately, and soon the fire fox man in red clothes with a fluttering aura came up.

Xie Yao already knew that Xiao Ning was a romantic man.

Now I have gained more experience.

Unfortunately... using this trick to seduce her is like throwing a wink to a blind man. She is not interested in this kind of thing.

All she wants is to live a good life.

"Zhu Xin, let's go."

Xie Yao frowned and stood up.

Xiao Ning's voice, tinged with laughter, rang out, "I thought the Crown Princess only liked weak and sickly men."

What do you mean?

Xie Yao heard the hidden meaning, but still did not stop, but continued to move forward.

"Go back!"

Seeing Xie Yao about to leave the flower hall, Xiao Ning said in a deep voice, "I want to have a good talk with the Crown Princess."

Only then did Xie Yao stop.

Xiao Ning signaled Zhu Xin and the others to leave, then said, "You and I both know about the last time we fell into the water."

"You're doing this all for the prince."

Xie Yao turned around and said, "The princess fell into the water. I was so eager to save her that I forgot I couldn't swim. What does this have to do with Your Highness?"

Come to think of it, she also "thanked" Xiao Ning and Song Wenbo, the bitch, for being able to drink water!

In her previous life, they became increasingly arrogant and threw her into the water. In order to save her life, she learned to swim without any instruction.

Xiao Ning smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

Xie Yao definitely didn't want to save her!

"I would like to express my gratitude to the Crown Princess for her kindness. How about I give her a legend?"

Xie Yao was slightly stunned. This matter was related to the prince!

"Rumor has it that twenty-two years ago, a child was born. Immediately after birth, the Imperial Master predicted that this child would bring misfortune to his father, mother, wife, and children. He was destined to be lonely and would not live past the age of twenty-five!"

Xie Yao thought of Xiao Ji’s sudden death in her previous life.

The prince is twenty-two years old this year.

According to the Imperial Master's prediction, at most another three years...

In the previous life, the prince did die in the third year after his marriage.

Right!

Was this the reason the prince hadn't consummated their marriage? Did he know his time was running out and he didn't want to delay her?

Xiao Ning had a smile on his face, without a trace of regret, "This person is truly pitiful."

After getting what she wanted, Xie Yao no longer hesitated and turned around to leave with Zhu Qing and Zhu Xin.

Xiao Ning stood where she was and did not try to persuade her to stay. She just looked at Xie Yao's back with a cold light flashing in her eyes.

Xie Yao looked very unhappy.

Si Nan was still a little worried that he was bullied, but when he heard Zhu Xin say that he had just chatted with Princess Heyi for a while, he had this expression when he came out.

Si Nan's expression changed slightly, and his heart sank...

Xie Yao had just left the princess's mansion.

The guard beside the coachman came closer to the carriage and whispered something, and then the carriage door was opened.

Xiao Ji condescended to walk down from above.

Xie Yao's originally restless heart inexplicably felt a little aggrieved when she saw Xiao Ji.

Why?

Why would such a good person like Xiao Ji die young?

As for being unlucky in father and mother, unlucky in wife and children, and destined to be lonely... she just doesn't believe it.

"Your Highness."

Xie Yao took a few quick steps and before Xiao Ji could react, she threw herself into his arms like a young swallow flying into the forest.

Xiao Ji was stunned, and his hand, which he raised subconsciously, fell to nowhere.

Feeling Xie Yao's grievance, he patted her back gently, his voice slightly cold, "Did Xiao Ning bully you?"

Xie Yao buried her head in his broad chest, shook her head, and said in a muffled voice, "It was Your Highness, it was Your Highness who bullied me."

The tips of Xiao Ji's ears turned red instantly.

He did not.

After a while, Xie Yao finally pulled Xiao Ji onto the carriage and ordered Si Nan, "Go back home!"

In the carriage, Xie Yao's eyes fell on Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji felt quite uncomfortable being stared at. He wanted to close his eyes and pretend to take a nap, but when he saw Xie Yao's red eyes, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

It was not a good time to talk on the road. Xie Yao had a thousand words in her heart, but she didn't say anything.

Princess Heyi's Mansion.

The fact that the Crown Prince came in person to pick up the Crown Princess naturally could not be hidden from Xiao Ning.

"Useless thing!" Xiao Ning casually whipped the shirtless bunny man and sneered, "Look, he's really into Xie Yao."

"Next, there will be a good show to watch."

She didn't believe Xie Yao could accept such a thing.

She looked at the maid waiting beside her and said, "Tell my brother about this and ask him to do his best."

Xie Yao doesn’t like beauty...what about rights?

Rights that are long-lasting, not fleeting.
