Xie Yao's eyes were full of stubbornness and seriousness, though they contained a hint of grievance.

Xiao Ji was slightly startled by the look, and even forgot that their posture at the moment was extremely ambiguous. Xie Yao's breath was as fragrant as orchid, and she stood on tiptoe, pressing close to him.

"……No."

It took Xiao Ji a while to react and deny it.

The Crown Princess is very good, it's him who is not good.

Xiao Ji raised his hand and pulled down Xie Yao's hand that was hooked around his neck, "Xie Yao, stop it."

He pretended to be cold and hard with a hint of warning in his voice, only in this way could he prevent himself from being soft-hearted.

Xie Yao's hands, which she didn't want to let go of, suddenly softened, and she withdrew her hands.

Seeing Xie Yao so obedient, Xiao Ji felt relieved, but at the same time, he felt inexplicably lost.

"I have already chosen the book, so I will not bother Your Highness anymore." Xie Yao took a half step back, raised the scroll in her hand, and turned to leave.

Xie Yao was thinking.

She could naturally sense that her efforts during this period had paid off. The prince's attitude towards her had long since changed, but he always held to his bottom line...

No matter how hard she tried to seduce him, it was only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure.

It seems that she still has to start from the root and find out the reason why Xiao Ji "sticks to the bottom line" so that she can prescribe the right medicine.

Xie Yao felt lost for a moment, but soon became full of fighting spirit, holding the medical book tightly in her arms and walking forward quickly.

Xiao Ji looked at her back with a complicated look in his eyes, his hands clenched into fists under his sleeves.

"Your Highness." After a long moment, Si Nan's worried voice rang out, "The Crown Princess..."

Xiao Ji didn't wait for him to speak and interrupted him, "Let's go."

Xiao Ji turned and walked into the study, and Si Nan had no choice but to shut up and follow him.

……

At the same time, the Song family.

Xie Yujiao hosted a banquet. Although the Song family only had one juren, it was still very lively today.

Xie Yujiao welcomed the guests into the courtyard with a smile, but she was still a little dissatisfied.

There were quite a few people coming today, but... they were all families of minor officials, and she really looked down on them.

"Thank you, Miss Second."

At this moment, a lady's gentle voice interrupted Xie Yujiao's thoughts, "Has the Crown Princess arrived?"

In an instant, all the guests in the courtyard looked over.

Xie Yujiao's smile froze on her face, and her eyes swept over the guests in the courtyard...

It's not enough for these people to just cling to the rich and powerful, they're also very short-sighted! Remember, the one who laughs last is the winner!

Xie Yao is only enjoying temporary glory at the moment. She, the future wife of the Prime Minister, is the one that these people will never be able to reach in the future.

"Ladies, please don't worry. My sister may have been delayed by many things."

Xie Yujiao smiled and reassured everyone. As soon as she entered the room, her face darkened and she frowned and asked, "Is Xie Yao not here yet?"

Ginkgo lowered his head, "Not yet."

"Go and urge them!" Xie Yujiao ordered immediately.

Ginkgo hesitated for a moment, then nodded and turned to leave.

"and many more."

Xie Yujiao suddenly thought of something and called out to Yin Xing, "If she doesn't come...just tell Xie Yao a message."

Prince's Mansion.

When Yuyan brought the news, Xie Yao was reading a medical book in the room.

"Princess."

Yuyan whispered, "Miss Ginkgo, who is with the Second Miss, is here. She said that the Second Miss wants you to attend a banquet at the Song family."

"Don't go."

Xie Yao didn't even raise her head.

She didn't need to give Xie Yujiao a face.

As for how Xie Yujiao would explain to the guests who came after her...that was Xie Yujiao's business.

"The Second Miss said that if you don't go, she'll ask Miss Ginkgo to tell you something. Don't you want to know why the Second Miss chose Mr. Song over His Highness?"

Xie Yao: “…”

Xie Yujiao actually resorted to threats.

It seems really urgent.

"Change my clothes." However, Xie Yao still put down the book in her hand and decided to go to the banquet.

Xie Yao went out temporarily and arrived a little late.

But no one objected. Everyone immediately stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "Greetings to the Crown Princess."

In comparison, the master Xie Yujiao fell behind.

She stood in front of the hall, watching this scene, her fists clenched subconsciously, and a look of unwillingness flashed in her eyes.

Even after such a long time of rebirth, she still hasn't quite adapted to the change of identity. It was obviously she who was praised by so many people before.

But now...

"No gift."

Xie Yao's gentle voice interrupted Xie Yujiao's thoughts.

Xie Yujiao smiled and walked forward to hold Xie Yao's arm in an intimate manner, "Sister, why did you come just now? Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time."

Xie Yao dodged the hand Xie Yujiao extended, her smile not reaching her eyes. "So, it's my fault, isn't it?"

Before Xie Yujiao could speak, the guests all spoke up, "It's not too late, it's just that we came early."

"Yes, the Crown Princess is very busy. It is a great honor for us to see her today."

"..."

Xie Yujiao listened to everyone's compliments, and a look of contempt flashed across her eyes without any concealment.

She remembered all these people!

When she becomes the wife of the Prime Minister in the future, she will make these people remember what happened today and regret it.

Xie Yujiao couldn't stand seeing so many people surrounding Xie Yao and trying to show their affection, so she quickly spoke out in a firm tone.

"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend the Song family banquet. Today, I also want to clarify something in public."

"There have been a lot of unfounded rumors about my husband these past few days. They are all spread by people with ulterior motives."

"My husband is a gentleman of integrity and decency. More importantly, he only has me in his heart and eyes. He once promised that he would never marry another woman."

Xie Yujiao looked proud and spoke with great confidence, but the expressions of everyone present became complicated.

They have lived for so many years, but this is the first time they have seen such a way of clarification.

It's really... different.

"Sister, isn't that right?" Xie Yujiao suddenly set her sights on Xie Yao, with a hint of threat flashing in her eyes.

When Xie Yujiao finished speaking, everyone else's eyes fell on Xie Yao.

As long as the Crown Princess nods, they will spare no effort to publicize the matter just to please her.

"This is the Song family's affair. How could I know?"

Xie Yao's intention to distance herself from the matter was very obvious. All the guests who came today were smart people and they understood Xie Yao's attitude just from this one sentence.

Everyone moved away from Xie Yujiao without leaving any trace.

It doesn’t matter if you have no connection with the Crown Princess, what’s more important is not to offend the Crown Princess.

Xie Yujiao's expression changed slightly, and hatred flashed in her eyes as she looked at Xie Yao.

She was about to speak when Xie Yao added, "However, I suggest that Madam Song report this to the authorities."

"If we report to the authorities and have the rumormongers arrested, wouldn't that clear Mr. Song's name?" Xie Yao said sincerely.

At first glance, there was nothing wrong with Xie Yao's words.

But Xie Yujiao thought of the slap Song Wenbo gave her after she reported the matter to the police last time.

This time Xie Yao asked her to report to the police again?

There is definitely a problem!

Just as Xie Yao was about to say something else, a familiar female voice suddenly rang out from the Song family's gate, "Sister-in-law, do you think you don't believe me?"
