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

Xiao Ji closed his eyes, shook off the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and walked out of the door while silently reciting the Heart Cleansing Mantra.

Xie Yao noticed the prince's departure and was about to speak, but it was too late.

The man's back seemed to have a sense of fleeing in panic.

Xie Yao's lips curled up slightly. The prince's attitude last night was better than she expected. This was a good start.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems a little world-weary, he is well-mannered and a true gentleman.

The only and biggest problem...is that it doesn't work.

Xie Yao was dressing up when Nanny Xu led the maid who originally served in the East Palace into the room. After bowing respectfully, she led the maid to help make the bed. Seeing the snow-white Yuan handkerchief on the bed, she sighed softly in her heart...

There were only two masters in the mansion, the prince and Xie Yao, and the breakfast was exquisite but not extravagant.

The couple sat on each side, both of them had excellent dining etiquette, and the servants around them were so quiet that they even subconsciously lowered their breathing.

Finally, Xiao Ji put down his chopsticks and watched Xie Yao finish hers. Then, a cold voice rang out, "What's the matter?"

Xie Yao looked at him frequently just now, so he shouldn't be too obvious.

"There is indeed one thing I don't understand." Xie Yao looked at the prince with eyes that seemed to gleam with tiny stars. "Are you going to enter the palace today?"

Logically speaking, as the prince's new bride, she should go to the palace to pay her respects.

However, Crown Prince Xiao Ji was born to the late queen. After the late queen passed away, the emperor did not appoint a new queen. Now the imperial concubine is in charge of the six palaces.

"No need." Xiao Ji answered decisively.

Xie Yao immediately responded, "Yes."

After breakfast, Xiao Ji got up and left.

Just as Xie Yao returned to her room, Nanny Xu walked in and said, "Crown Princess, the servants are waiting outside. Would you like to see them?"

"His Highness has instructed that from now on all the internal affairs of the palace will be under your control."

So fast?

This was her right as the Crown Princess, but she had just married in and had wanted to observe for a few more days, but she had not expected the Crown Prince to be so... considerate.

"Okay." Xie Yao agreed readily. Of course she had to meet the person.

After a pause, she asked, "Madam Xu, is there anyone in the mansion who I need to pay attention to?" For example, the prince's concubines or maids...

Aunt Xu stayed with her at the Xie family for three days, but it was not convenient to ask since they were not married yet.

Nanny Xu immediately reacted and whispered, "Your Highness has always been a clean and self-disciplined person. There are only two masters in the mansion, Your Highness and the Crown Princess."

Xie Yao: “…”

As far as she knew, boys had maids to guide them when they were thirteen or fourteen years old, and all of her stepbrothers in the Xie family had one.

The prince is of noble status and has already reached adulthood, but he has no one around him... The situation is very serious!

When she went out and saw the servants serving her in the mansion, her mood became even heavier.

There are only a few maids in the entire Prince's Mansion, and they all serve in the main courtyard.

The person in charge of external affairs is Aunt Xu, while the maids in charge of internal affairs are Cherry and Aunt Xu's niece Yuyan.

Xie Yao asked the servants about their respective duties and names one by one, asked them to continue doing their previous work, and gave them some rewards before ending the meeting.

Adjustments are necessary.

But after all, they were all old people who were used to being employed by the prince, so she couldn't act too hastily.

Xie Yao took out a gold bracelet and placed it in Aunt Xu's palm. "Aunt Xu, you are His Highness's wet nurse. His Highness trusts you, so I naturally trust you too. I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on these things in the mansion."

Aunt Xu was extremely pleased, not because of the bracelet, but because of the Crown Princess's trust. She was moved, "Crown Princess, before there was no mistress in the mansion, I had to take over. Now, everything in the mansion is yours."

Xie Yao did not refuse any more, but said: "After all, I am young and new here. If there is anything inappropriate, I need your advice."

Aunt Xu was about to speak.

Zhu Qing walked in from outside and whispered, "Crown Princess, someone from the palace came and said that the Imperial Concubine wants you to come into the palace."

The room fell silent for a moment.

Everyone's eyes fell on Xie Yao, waiting for her response.

A cold light flashed in Xie Yao's slightly lowered eyes, and she said without hesitation: "I am sick, and I am afraid I cannot enter the palace to pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine."

"Yes." Zhu Qing did not question and immediately turned around to answer.

Xie Yao looked at Madam Xu again, "Madam, can we call the palace doctor?"

What she asked was, is the court doctor reliable?

Nanny Xu stood aside the entire time and didn't express any opinions, but at this moment, the smile in her eyes could not be concealed. She said respectfully, "The Crown Princess is the master. If you feel unwell, you should consult the palace physician."

Very good and reliable.

After performing the full act, Xie Yao ordered Zhuxin to call the palace doctor.

Nanny Xu had all the account books in the Prince's Mansion delivered to the main courtyard before she left. After exiting the main courtyard, she headed straight for the study in the front yard...

The court physician was very diligent and prescribed medicine for the "ill" Crown Princess.

That night, Xie Yao did not see the prince.

The prince still did not show up for breakfast the next day, so Xie Yao brought a bowl of soup to the study at noon.

"Princess."

The attendant's voice rose slightly, as if reminding someone of something.

Xie Yao did not rush in, but knocked on the door first and asked politely: "Your Highness, may I come in?"

"Enter."

As soon as Xie Yao entered the door, she was shocked by the rich collection of books.

The entire study of Xiao Ji seemed to be filled with the rich fragrance of books. He was sitting upright behind the desk, holding a book in his hand.

His black hair was tied up with a jade crown, and the bright and warm sunlight of the spring noon poured in through the window, seeming to cast a layer of glow all over his body.

It makes him look different from ordinary people.

Xie Yao was stunned for a moment.

Xiao Ji's movements paused unnoticeably, and then he raised his eyes, his gaze cold and distant, as if reminding her, "What's the matter?"

Xie Yao hurriedly asked, "Tomorrow... Your Highness, can you accompany me back home?"

Xiao Ji frowned subconsciously, and after a moment he replied, "Yes."

Xie Yao smiled, and Xiao Ji looked away.

Xie Yao looked around and sighed, "Your Highness has so many books in his study."

Xiao Ji paused and said, "If you want to see it, just take it yourself." As long as Xie Yao did not violate his principles, he would naturally be willing to accommodate her.

After all, marrying him...

It's unfair to her.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Xie Yao immediately stood up and moved between the bookshelves. With so many books, she wanted to look carefully to see if there were any medical books.

Xie Yao searched and quickly found a medical book!

She reached for...

Out of reach!

Xie Yao looked around and didn't see the wooden ladder, so she stood on tiptoe... but she was still a little short.

Xie Yao couldn't help but glance in Xiao Ji's direction and saw that he was reading a book seriously. A cunning look flashed in her eyes, and she jumped up to grab the book!

Maybe it was because of my lack of experience, I didn’t catch it.

Just a little bit more...Xie Yao jumps again!

This time I caught him.

She held the book in front of her chest with both hands, and turned her eyes away——

Then he saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince standing at one end of the bookshelf.

When Xie Yao thought of what she had just done, her pretty face suddenly turned red.

Xiao Ji didn't react. He caught a glimpse of her standing there with a book in her arms, and her appearance just now flashed through his mind.

I inexplicably thought of some taboo scenes.

He quickly lowered his eyelids, his voice filled with displeasure, "Be more solemn."
