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

Prince's Mansion.

Even after getting off the carriage and entering the Prince's Mansion, Xie Yao said nothing and just followed Xiao Ji silently.

Followed all the way to the study.

She was thinking about how to start.

Xiao Ji was confused and Si Nan was extremely anxious, but the Crown Princess was right here and he couldn't say anything to her face.

Xiao Ji walked into the study.

Xie Yao followed closely and closed the study door.

"Your Highness, Xiao Ning told me a rumor today." Xie Yao repeated Xiao Ning's words concisely, staring straight at Xiao Ji, whose expression had changed drastically.

Finally, he said, "I don't think Xiao Ning would do anything without a purpose. What do you think about this matter, Your Highness?"

Xiao Ji lowered his eyes, and the image of Xie Yao's slightly red eyes when she saw him just now flashed through his mind, but it disappeared in a flash.

He said coldly: "It's just a rumor, don't believe it."

It seems that he is not going to tell her.

Xie Yao lowered her head somewhat dejectedly. She could actually say frankly that she knew Xiao Ning was talking about Xiao Ji.

But Xiao Ji was still alive and well. How could she know such a hidden palace secret? And how could she be sure that Xiao Ji was ill?

She couldn't explain it.

She thought it would be the same if Xiao Ji told her in person.

But Xiao Ji chose to conceal it.

"Your Highness is right." The smile on Xie Yao's face faded a little.

The room suddenly became quiet.

After a while, Xie Yao said, "However, I don't believe what Xiao Ning said about a lonely life that brings misfortune to his father, mother, wife, and children."

"It's all just human calculations and self-interest."

Xiao Ji suddenly raised his eyes and saw the seriousness in Xie Yao's eyes.

Did she...already know something?

Before Xiao Ji had time to think deeply, Xie Yao said, "Your Highness, I will take my leave first."

As soon as Xie Yao left, Si Nan quickly went into the study and told Xiao Ji everything that had happened today.

Finally, he asked, "Your Highness, do you think Princess Heyi said something nonsense to the Crown Princess?"

Otherwise, why would the Crown Princess' expression become so ugly?

"I said it." Xiao Ji was a little bored.

"Huh?!" Si Nan was shocked and asked hurriedly, "Then how did you tell the Crown Princess? Did you explain it clearly to her?"

Xiao Ji was silent for a moment and asked, "What do you want to explain?"

"What Xiao Ning said is all true."

He couldn't explain it.

Si Nan was silent for a moment, "I think that with the Crown Princess's intelligence, she must have some suspicions. Why don't you take this opportunity..."

"Stop talking too much." Xiao Ji scolded coldly.

Si Nan was often scolded, so usually he would have kept his mouth shut by now, but today he couldn't help but say more: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess..."

"roll."

Xiao Ji kicked the man out of the house.

Si Nan: “…”

He looked at the closed door of the study and sighed.

Your Highness is always like this.

For so many years, I have been handling everything by myself!

……

Xie Yao was a little angry.

She couldn't explain why, but she just knew that when Xiao Ji denied it, she felt inexplicably angry.

But when I left the study, the fire was almost extinguished by the spring breeze.

Everyone has their own secrets and pains. She didn't tell the prince about her rebirth, so how could she ask him to be honest with her?

Xie Yao returned to the main courtyard, absent-mindedly read the medical book for a long time, and then waited.

Waiting to see if Xiao Ji will return to the main courtyard for dinner.

The answer is yes.

However, Zhao Ying sent a message today saying that he had an engagement outside and would not be back for dinner.

Only Xie Yao and Xiao Ji were left at the dinner table, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

Xiao Ji looked at the food on the table, which was as rich and comprehensive as ever and had the effect of nourishing yin and strengthening the kidneys, and finally confirmed one thing in his heart: these were all arranged by Crown Princess Xie Yao.

Then he thought about the last time Xie Yao asked him if he liked children.

Now it seems... Xie Yao really likes children.

And he...

Xiao Ji didn't use much and avoided several dishes with medicinal effects. After the meal, he looked up at Xie Yao, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say it.

"I'm alone tonight..." He coughed.

Xie Yao raised her eyes to look at him, "Your Highness, are you disgusted with me?"

How?

Xiao Ji objected in his heart.

It would be better to just reduce contact with her so that she can find another husband in the future.

Men are all very stingy. He is a man and he knows it.

"No." Xiao Ji still explained.

Xie Yao said directly: "If Your Highness doesn't come, I will move to the study."

Xiao Ji: “???”

He was stunned for a moment, but Xie Yao looked serious, she was not joking!

Xiao Ji finally said, "I didn't say I couldn't come."

Xie Yao finally smiled and said, "I'm waiting for Your Highness."

Xiao Ji came particularly late tonight. He didn't arrive outside the main house until the moon was at its highest point in the sky.

The lights were still on in the main house, and Xie Yao's silhouette could be clearly seen in the window.

She had indeed kept her promise and was still waiting for him.

Xiao Ji took a deep breath before stepping into the room. He didn't know what was wrong with him, but... he felt unable to refuse Xie Yao.

"Your Highness."

As soon as Xie Yao heard the footsteps, she stood up to greet them. She subconsciously wanted to throw herself into Xiao Ji's arms, but Xiao Ji reacted quickly and dodged her.

At the same time, he grabbed Xie Yao's wrist to prevent her from falling.

Xiao Ji frowned, took a deep breath, and was about to repeat what he said to Xie Yao on their wedding night.

Xie Yao was the first to speak, "Your Highness, I have something to ask of you."

Xiao Ji's words were stuck in his mouth. "Speak."

"Your Highness is very skilled. I would like to ask Your Highness to teach me a few moves." Xie Yao looked expectant. "If I encounter danger, I will not sit still and wait for death."

"Yes." Xiao Ji nodded without hesitation, "I will arrange..."

Xiao Ji caught sight of Xie Yao standing tall in front of him, and readily changed his words, "I will find a female teacher to teach you."

"It's better to do it sooner rather than later. What Xiao Ning said to me today really scared me. And that time with the Second Prince..." Xie Yao looked at Xiao Ji eagerly. "Before you find a female teacher, could Your Highness teach me personally?"

This kills two birds with one stone!

Xiao Ji: "...Yes."

He felt a scratchy throat.

Xie Yao, however, was already smiling brightly, "Thank you, Your Highness."

She hugged Xiao Ji tightly, and raised the corners of her lips high where he couldn't see.

Take it!

Xie Yao kept her word and quickly changed her clothes the next morning. Because she wanted to practice basic skills, she changed out of her luxurious palace dress and put on more neat and capable shorts.

Her hair was tied up high, and the short cloth dress that wrapped tightly around her body perfectly highlighted her figure.

Facing the dim morning light of spring, Xiao Ji took a quick look and quickly looked away.

Perhaps it was the spring sunshine that made the tips of his ears appear red.

All the servants in the main courtyard were dismissed.

Xiao Ji taught Xie Yao how to squat in horse stance. Xie Yao had never practiced it before, so her posture was not standard. But Xiao Ji only needed to point her out, and Xie Yao quickly grasped it.

I also practiced very seriously.

Xiao Ji's expression gradually became serious, and he gradually relaxed. There was more admiration in his eyes when he looked at Xie Yao.

When he saw Xie Yao's clothes just now, he thought she...

He is superficial.

Xiao Ji stood aside with his hands behind his back, looking at Xie Yao who was squatting in a horse stance. Her serious look made people ignore the fact that her body shape was not suitable for martial arts training.

He only saw the dense beads of sweat on her fair cheeks, her lips bitten tightly to hold on, and her legs trembling.

"That's enough." He said in a deep voice, "Don't rush into martial arts training. We'll continue tomorrow."

Xie Yao raised her eyes and smiled, then slowly stood up and seemed to lose all her strength and fell forward...
