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

Prince's Mansion.

"Crown Princess." Zhu Xin walked in slowly and whispered, "Master returned to the Xie family yesterday and found the second young lady there, so he immediately turned around and went to Tianshui Lane."

"This morning, I went directly to the government office from Tianshui Lane."

Mr. Xie is becoming more and more arrogant now, and has no intention of concealing the existence of Tianshui Lane at all.

"Where's Madam Xie?"

Xie Yao was drawing her eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil, her voice nonchalant.

"Two days ago, Madam Xie's mother brought two beautiful girls into the house. From what I saw, they looked quite similar to the one from Tianshui Lane." Zhu Xin replied in a low voice.

Xie Yao chuckled, "Spread this news to Tianshui Lane."

She wasn't going to just sit and watch the show.

When the scene wasn't lively enough, she would add fuel to the fire.

Zhu Xin had just left when Zhu Qing hurried in. "Crown Princess, the government has forbidden the spread of 'rumors' about Princess He Yi."

"Oh?"

Xie Yao raised her eyebrows slightly. The speed of spreading romantic affairs was very fast. It was too late for Princess Heyi to ban the matter today after it was spread yesterday.

"The government has taken drastic measures and arrested a number of people. Now the rumors have died down." Zhu Qing was a little worried. "Crown Princess, will this matter be traced back to us?"

After all, Zhao Ying helped in this matter.

Xie Yao thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask Sister Ying later."

"But Xiao Ning's way... is better." The more drastic the means, the more it proves her guilty conscience from another perspective.

Besides...

The gift she prepared has not been given away yet.

Xie Yao waved to Zhu Qing and said, "Go and help me prepare some things."

Two days passed quickly.

Every family in the capital attached great importance to Emperor Yongle's birthday. They prepared various gifts early and tried every possible way to get an invitation.

Early in the morning.

Xiao Ji was waiting for Xie Yao to dress up.

"Your Highness."

Xie Yao softened her voice and turned around in front of Xiao Ji, "Does this look good on me?"

Xiao Ji raised his eyes, then froze in place.

Xie Yao's eyes were curved and full of anticipation.

"Ahem." Xiao Ji coughed, "It looks good."

Because of Xie Yao's figure, she would inevitably look frivolous if she wore thin clothes. When she wore more luxurious clothes and smiled brightly, Xiao Ji felt that the room was full of light.

Xie Yao walked towards Xiao Ji and naturally took his arm, "Your Highness, let's go."

The carriage drove slowly all the way to Yongle Palace.

When the carriage from the Crown Prince's Mansion arrived, the *** Mansion was already very busy, but when they realized it was the carriage from the Crown Prince's Mansion, everyone around looked over.

Xiao Ji was the first to get off the carriage.

Then he stood beside the carriage and stretched out his hand in the direction of the carriage.

Everyone saw a slender jade hand slowly stretched out and placed on the hand of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and then a purple figure appeared in everyone's sight.

All of a sudden.

Everyone gasped.

Someone else reacted and quickly saluted, "Greetings to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess."

Xiao Ji helped Xie Yao get off the carriage, selectively ignoring the sour feeling in his heart, and said, "No need to be polite."

The two were led in by the steward of the imperial palace to pay their respects to Emperor Yongle.

"Aunt." Xie Yao and Xiao Ji bowed together with a respectful attitude.

Emperor Yongle was already past the age of 50, and although it was his birthday today, he was not dressed luxuriously. He just sat quietly at the head of the table, but his aura was already terrifying.

Her eyes were bright and her gaze was like lightning, as if she could see through people's souls. Only the slight gray hair on her temples showed that she was no longer young.

"sit."

Emperor Yongle's voice was very majestic.

Xie Yao clearly felt that ***'s eyes were on her. Instead of retreating, she raised her head and gave *** a faint smile.

*** was stunned.

Then his serious expression relaxed a little.

"aunt."

At this moment, a sweet female voice was heard from outside, and along with Princess He Yi came the second prince Xiao Hong.

After they saluted the emperor, they saluted Xie Yao and Xiao Ji, and then sat down.

Princess Heyi looked at her mother eagerly and asked, "Aunt, didn't Brother Pei Chen arrive in Beijing today? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

Xie Yao clearly saw that Yongle's eyes had turned a bit colder. "He Yi, there have been a lot of rumors about you in the capital these days."

Close to the face and open wide.

Xie Yao just felt that she needed a plate of melon seeds at this moment.

Xiao Ning's expression froze slightly. She bit her lower lip and explained, "Aunt, those are all groundless rumors. It's fine if others don't believe Ning'er, but don't you believe it too?"

"I've liked Brother Pei Chen since I was a child..."

Princess Heyi hadn't finished her words when a servant's voice came from outside, "Zhenbei Hou has arrived!"

Pei Chen is here!

Xie Yao also looked towards the door curiously.

As the Marquis of Zhenbei, Pei Chen had guarded the border for many years and had made great military achievements, but she had never seen this god of war in her two lifetimes.

The sound of military uniforms moving around was heard, and then a tall and strong figure strode in. The man had a bronze complexion, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and was covered in dust. He looked like he had rushed here from eight hundred miles away.

He stepped forward quickly and knelt in the hall after two or three steps.

"An unfilial son has seen his mother. I wish her happiness as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains!"

"it is good."

*** stood up and helped Pei Chen up personally, his expression moved and obviously very excited.

The mother and son were reminiscing about the past, and Xie Yao and the others were not tactless enough to insist on being present, so they quickly left to give the two of them enough time.

As soon as I left the house.

Xie Yao clearly felt that the Second Prince Xiao Hong's eyes fell on her, especially on her chest, with a subtle offense.

I really want to dig out his eyes!

Xie Yao's face darkened, but she saw Xiao Ji step aside and stand between her and Xiao Hong. His voice was slightly lowered, "If you don't want your eyes, I can dig them out for you."

Just because he doesn't want to fight doesn't mean he's afraid!

Xiao Hong's expression changed slightly. He felt a little guilty and didn't dare to refute.

Instead, Xiao Ning said, "Big Brother, today is my aunt's birthday."

"Ah."

Xiao Ji sneered, "If it weren't for my aunt, it wouldn't just be a warning."

"Watch your eyes."

Xiao Hong replied awkwardly, then quickly turned and left.

But as soon as he turned around, his face darkened. "You are just a short-lived ghost, and you dare to be so arrogant!"

Xiao Ning glanced at him and said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you so anxious? You also said that he is a short-lived ghost. When he dies... you can do whatever you want with him."

Xiao Hong's expression looked better now. He seemed to be thinking about the near future, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

Then he sighed again, "What a waste of natural resources!"

Xiao Ning sneered, "Put your mind back on track. There are less than three years left. Don't let this moment of failure sink you."

Xiao Hong glanced at Xiao Ning with dissatisfaction, "It's you who should focus on your work. Don't forget... taking down Pei Chen is your most important task."
