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

Wang Yushi's face turned pale.

The Crown Princess's move was to put an end to her desire to marry someone else, and she specifically asked her to marry the crippled Third Prince...

Why?

Why should she marry the disabled Third Prince and be a widow for the rest of her life?

Moreover, news came out today that the Third Prince seemed to have gone mad and attacked the Jinwu Guards but accidentally injured himself.

If you marry a man like this, you might not even know when he will be hacked to death.

"Crown Princess..."

The more Wang Yushi thought about it, the more frightened she became. She trembled and shrank as she tried to speak. Xie Yao simply ordered, "Show him away."

"Zhu Qing, please personally escort Miss Wang Er to the Wang family and meet Miss Wang San on my behalf."

Zhu Qing was her close maid, so her presence at the Wang household naturally represented her. She had instructed Zhu Qing to personally attend today's event, partly to express her stance, and partly out of concern that Wang Yushi would vent her anger on Wang Yushu over what had happened.

However, before protecting Wang Yushu, she had to first confirm Wang Yushu's attitude towards the matter.

Zhu Qing sent Wang Yushi directly to Wang's house.

Everyone in the Wang family was very polite to Zhu Qing's arrival. Zhu Qing was the head female official beside the Crown Princess, and the mother of the head of the Wang family came out to greet her in person.

After listening to Zhu Qing's description of what Wang Yushi had done today, the Wang family's mistress's expression had become very ugly. She could hardly maintain the smile on her face and glared at Wang Yushi with a look of disappointment.

Finally, she smiled at Zhu Qing and said, "Aunt Zhu Qing, it's all because of your improper discipline that this little girl has become so tactless and disturbed the Crown Princess!"

"I will personally go to the Crown Princess's house to apologize. I also ask the Crown Princess to show some leniency and spare her this time, considering her young age."

The mistress of the Wang family said this and gave a look to the maid beside her.

The old woman immediately stuffed a bulging purse into Zhuqing's hand with an apologetic smile on her face.

Zhu Qing did not refuse and continued, "Miss Wang Er did something so rude. Madam Wang should teach her a lesson."

"The Crown Princess was kind-hearted and only punished Miss Wang Er to copy books for a month. I'll trouble you, Madam, to supervise this matter."

Mrs. Wang let out a long sigh and said yes repeatedly.

As long as the Crown Princess has no intention of making a big deal out of this matter, it will be fine.

"Where is Miss Wang San?" Zhu Qing changed the subject, "The Crown Princess asked me to see Miss Wang San."

Mrs. Wang immediately said, "Go and invite the Third Miss over."

Zhu Qing said, "Madam, let me go over."

Mrs. Wang's expression froze slightly, and she immediately ordered her confidants to personally take Zhuqing to see Wang Yushu.

At the same time, Zhu Qing also noticed that a little girl in the room quietly retreated first. She saw it but did not expose it. She followed Mrs. Wang's confidant and slowly left the main hall.

As soon as Zhu Qing left, Wang Yushi, who had been lowering her head in shame, immediately raised her head and said, "Mother, the Crown Princess specifically asked me to marry the Third Prince. What should I do? I don't want to marry the Third Prince. He's a cripple!"

"Mother, I'm the legitimate daughter of the Wang family! Marrying the Third Prince was already an injustice to me, and now he's a cripple... If I marry him, my life will be ruined!"

Wang Yushi was almost crying, holding Madam Wang's arm, "Mom, what should I do? What should I do?"

Mrs. Wang was almost dizzy from Wang Yushi's shaking of her arm. She quickly held her daughter down and said, "Alright, alright. Your father and I will figure out a solution for this matter. How could we possibly ask you to marry him?"

"Really?" Wang Yushi's eyes were red as she looked at Madam Wang with suspicion. "But the Crown Princess..."

"Of course it's true." Madam Wang pulled Wang Yushi into her arms distressedly. "You are my flesh and blood. How can I watch you fall into the fire?"

"Let's take a step back and say, even if you can't get married, it's not impossible to find someone else to take your place and marry into the Third Prince's mansion."

Hearing this, Wang Yushi breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Madam Wang's arm and said, "Mother, you are so kind. I know you are the best to me!"

Madam Wang glared at Wang Yushi with dismay and tapped her forehead with her index finger. "You, you, you carried me behind my back to the Prince's Mansion today... I think you wanted to piss me off to death!"

"Mother," Wang Yushi said coquettishly, and Madam Wang's anger and helplessness turned into a sigh. "I've spoiled you. For the next month, you will stay in the mansion and not go out."

"But..." Wang Yushi was about to say something, but Madam Wang said, "The Crown Princess has just issued a punishment, so you have to act accordingly."

"Or do you want the Crown Princess to spread what happened today?"

At this point, Wang Yushi, no matter how unwilling she was, could only acquiesce. She turned her eyes and asked, "Mother, what did the Crown Princess's people do to meet Wang Yushu?"

Her eyes flashed coldly, "The Crown Princess knows about our marriage swap. Did that little bitch Wang Yushu secretly tell us..."

Madam Wang glanced at Wang Yushi and said, "Don't underestimate the Crown Princess. She doesn't come from a high-born family, but she's the only one who has managed to attract the Crown Prince. She must be very resourceful and scheming."

Wang Yushi thought of Xie Yao's extremely oppressive look today and nodded silently in her heart.

But it’s better if this matter has nothing to do with Wang Yushu, otherwise…

Half an hour later.

Mrs. Wang's confidant came back and whispered, "Madam, Second Miss, Aunt Zhuqing has left. She gave a hairpin belonging to the Crown Princess to Third Miss."

"Why?" Wang Yushi asked subconsciously, with jealousy and dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes.

She was punished by the Crown Princess today, but Wang Yushu was rewarded instead?

Damn Wang Yushu! He's stepping on her to get ahead...

She tiptoed and was about to walk out.

"Stop." Madam Wang spoke in time. Wang Yushi could only stop and turn to look at her, "Mother..."

"From today on, you are not allowed to cause trouble for Wang Yushu again."

"Why?" Wang Yushi complained. "Today, Wang Yushi was clearly stepping on me to curry favor with the Crown Princess. She's so bold to do this to me!"

Wang Yushu, just a lowly concubine's daughter, actually dared to plot against her!

Madam Wang's voice was a little tired. "Can't you see? The Crown Princess's actions today are just to support Wang Yushu."

Mrs. Wang now wondered if she had spoiled Wang Yushi. She couldn't see any reason at all and even wanted to cause trouble for Wang Yushu.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yushi bit her lower lip and blamed Wang Yushu for everything in her heart.

Little bitch!

"That's enough." Mrs. Wang was inevitably a little tired. She said to her daughter, "You can go back first. Remember to stay at home and copy the books."

Wang Yushi's eyes turned and she stepped back.

Madam Wang then turned to her confidant and said, "Go prepare some apology gifts and send a letter to the Crown Prince's Mansion. Tomorrow I will personally apologize to the Crown Princess."

The confidant immediately agreed one by one, and then asked: "Madam, what about the third young lady..."

A hint of disgust flashed across Mrs. Wang's eyes. "Don't worry about it for now."

"Do you really think the Zhao family is a good place to be? They're just from a merchant family... If it weren't for the fact that the wedding was so close and there wasn't any other way, how could our Wang family even consider them?"

"Marrying into the Zhao family would be an injustice to my Yushi. Now that the wedding date has been postponed, I have more time to plan a marriage for Yushi and find a good family for her."

……

Prince's Mansion.

The first thing Zhu Qing did when she returned home was to see Xie Yao. She said respectfully, "Crown Princess, I followed your instructions and met with Miss Wang San to ask her about Miss Zhao."

"The Third Miss said that she shouldn't have said anything about this matter, but since the Crown Princess asked, she dared to say a few words."

"Ms. Zhao definitely didn't want this to happen. She's also a victim. She's heard about Ms. Zhao's story and knows she's no ordinary woman, so she doesn't think she'll take it to heart."

"No matter what decision Ms. Zhao makes, she supports and believes in it."

"I gave the golden hairpin to the Third Miss as you instructed." Zhu Qing did not express her subjective thoughts, but only stated the facts she saw.

Xie Yao nodded slightly. No matter whether Wang Yushu's words were sincere or false, she was very satisfied.

Zhu Qing continued, "Miss San also asked me to convey her gratitude."

Xie Yao raised her eyebrows slightly, "She is a smart person."

At this moment, Yuyan's voice came from outside the door, "Crown Princess, Madam Wang just sent someone to deliver a visiting card."

"Got it." Xie Yao nodded. "Make some arrangements. Meet in the flower hall tomorrow."

Since Mrs. Wang has sent the invitation, she naturally wants to see him.

Just as Xie Yao finished dealing with these things, she heard familiar footsteps outside the door. Her originally somewhat depressed mood suddenly brightened up a lot, and she looked up and looked outside——

Sure enough, I saw a familiar figure walking in.

"Your Highness." Xie Yao's voice was obviously cheerful. She had a smile on her face, and her eyes were filled with joy. "I thought Your Highness would come back late today."

After all, the things that happened between Xiao An and Xiao Ning happened one after another, and those court officials and censors probably had endless things to say.

Xiao Ji naturally stepped forward and held her hand. "They talk a lot, but I don't want to listen."

Xie Yao curled her lips and held Xiao Ji's hand.

Because of Xiao Ji's change in mentality, and his higher tolerance for pain after his body recovered, the two of them got along more harmoniously.

The dinner was natural and harmonious.

It even made Xie Yao feel as if she had returned to the time before His Highness lost his memory...

Then Xiao Ji's eyes would make her wake up instantly.

Although His Highness's eyes were gentle at this moment, there was no lingering love in them. Instead, the underlying tone of his eyes was calmness and restraint.

Xie Yao lowered her eyes slightly to hide the bitterness in her heart, and when she raised her eyes again, there was still a faint smile on her face.

The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention those bad things. After dinner, they walked side by side in the mansion to digest the food and headed towards the study.

As they walked, Xie Yao suddenly felt her palms getting warm, and she turned to look at Xiao Ji again.

"The Crown Princess's hands are a little cold." Xiao Ji pretended to be calm and said, "I'll warm them up for her."

Xie Yao raised her other hand, her big eyes flickering as she looked at Xiao Ji, "Your Highness, this hand is cold too."

Xiao Ji's heart moved, and he silently raised his other hand to hold the hand that Xie Yao extended.

The postures of the two suddenly became a little weird, but they still moved forward tacitly. Although they didn't look at each other, both of their faces were full of smiles.

Si Nan, Zhu Qing and others were far away. When they saw this somewhat funny scene, they looked at each other in confusion. They wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. They kept trying to hold it in, and their expressions were distorted.

The two of them walked all the way to the study.

Since Xiao Ji was not at home these days, Xie Yao was the only one using the study.

Candles were lit and incense was burning in the study.

Xie Yao then got down to business, "Your Highness, Madam Wang will come to the Crown Prince's Mansion tomorrow."

She didn't elaborate on Wang Yushi's matter. After all, Mrs. Wang's visit to the Prince's Mansion tomorrow... wasn't just to apologize.

A thoughtful look flashed across Xiao Ji's eyes, and he nodded slightly, saying, "Minister Xu also met with me privately today."

The daughter of Minister Xu was the other concubine originally planned for the Third Prince Xiao An.

Obviously, at this point they no longer cared whether refusing the marriage would offend the Third Prince.

"What does Your Highness say?" Xiao An was ruined, and Xie Yao naturally did not support these girls to really marry Xiao An.

What she said to Wang Yushi today... was just to scare her out of anger.

Xiao Ji said: "Marriage... cannot be taken." This point must be made clear.

Xie Yao nodded immediately and said, "Your Highness is kind-hearted and intelligent. I would like to thank you on behalf of the girls." Xiao Ji thought that the matter was half done.

Xie Yao was too close, the dancing candlelight was reflected in her bright eyes, and her slightly upturned cherry lips were plump and rosy, as if shimmering with water, looking extremely seductive.

Xiao Ji's eyes darkened and his Adam's apple rolled.

A certain thought suddenly popped up in my mind...

"Your Highness?" Xie Yao called out again, and Xiao Ji suddenly withdrew his gaze, lowering his eyes slightly to hide the desire surging in his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry..."

Before Xiao Ji finished speaking, he suddenly raised his eyes to look at Xie Yao, his eyes full of surprise and shock!

Her, her, her...her hand!

Xiao Ji's throat was churning wildly, causing Xie Yao's soft fingertips to cover it.

His face flushed instantly. Even if his body's reaction could deceive others, it couldn't deceive himself.

What's more, Xie Yao was very familiar with him. Just by looking at his appearance, she could tell his current state...

"Your Highness, you want me." Xie Yao's voice was particularly soft, and Xiao Ji's anger rose from his lower abdomen.

He...yes.

His body was screaming for it.

The next moment, Xiao Ji stretched out his long arms and tightly wrapped them around Xie Yao's waist, forcing her to stand on tiptoe slightly.

He leaned forward and kissed her.

Xie Yao raised her hands to hook her arms around his neck and tilted her head back to respond to his kiss.

She is no saint.

Xie Yao's body quickly fell limp in Xiao Ji's arms, and she only managed to stay put thanks to Xiao Ji's support.

After the long kiss, Xie Yao's eyes were shining, her cheeks were flushed, and she leaned in Xiao Ji's arms, panting.

There was a blazing fire in Xiao Ji's eyes, and his voice was hoarse, "Go to the main house..."

"Your Highness." Xie Yao turned around and pressed him down, taking the initiative and saying, "The study...it's not like we haven't been there before."

Xiao Ji: "..."

Was he so exciting before?

He hissed and suddenly came back to his senses, but it was Xie Yao who bit his lip when she saw that she was distracted.

Xiao Ji looked at the person in his arms and didn't hesitate any more...
