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

There was a moment of silence in the study, and the three of them had an unprecedented tacit understanding at this moment: What a coincidence.

Xiao Ji's gaze fell on Pei Chen, and his eyebrows raised slightly, "Looking for you."

Xiao Hong never comes to the temple unless he has something important to do.

Pei Chen's expression was serious. He frowned slightly upon hearing this and said, "Second Prince, you have made a wrong decision."

Some things... it's really useless to ask him for help.

"Please come in." Xiao Ji gave the order. Since Xiao Hongren had come, it was naturally impossible to turn him away.

Xiao Hong came very quickly.

As soon as he entered the room, his eyes fell on Xie Yao. After not seeing her for a few days... she looked even better.

In comparison, the ones in his house...are really uninteresting.

Xiao Hong had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he didn't dare to look too much.

Xiao Ji's warning from last time was still ringing in his ears, and the look Xiao Ji gave him at this moment was equally unfriendly.

"Royal brother, Royal sister-in-law." Xiao Hong smiled and finally looked at Pei Chen, "Cousin, long time no see."

Yongle's mother is the emperor's biological sister, and Pei Chen is her adopted son, so it is reasonable for him to call her cousin.

Pei Chen returned the greeting, "Second Prince."

The closeness of the relationship is immediately apparent.

The smile on Xiao Hong's face froze slightly, but no one spoke. Xiao Ji and Pei Chen picked up the teacups and drank tea in tacit understanding.

Seeing this, Xiao Hong also picked up the teacup, but he exerted a little force on the hand holding the cup, causing the veins on the back of his hand to bulge, and his slightly lowered eyes were full of sinisterness.

"Your Highness." Pei Chen stood up, "I will take my leave."

Leaving now?

Xiao Hong was stunned for a moment, and also stood up anxiously, "In this case, I will not disturb my brother anymore."

"Cousin, let's go together."

Xiao Hong stood up and raised his hand to hook Pei Chen's shoulder affectionately.

But Pei Chen was taller than him, and at this moment he looked at him with cold murderous intent. Xiao Hong's raised hand froze in the air for a moment, and then he put it down silently.

I was cursing in my heart.

Pei Chen clearly didn't give him face.

Before leaving, Xiao Hong looked back again, but only saw Xiao Ji's cold eyes.

Xiao Ji's tall figure completely covered Xie Yao, and only a hint of her skirt was visible.

When the person finally left, Xie Yao frowned, looking offended and unhappy, "How disgusting."

That look just now...

If someone like Xiao Hong really inherited the throne, the Xia Kingdom would be finished.

Xiao Ji's eyes darkened slightly. He had already asked Si Nan to find something for Xiao Hong to do, but it seemed that it was still not busy enough.

"Your Highness." Xie Yao withdrew her thoughts and asked about the business. "The Marquis of Zhenbei is in charge of the Zhenbei Army. Is he free to go to Nanzhou?"

"Yes." Xiao Ji nodded. "It was His Majesty's will that he be transferred back to the capital this time."

Xie Yao suddenly remembered that in her previous life, she had heard Xiao Ning and Song Wenbo talk about plotting against Pei Chen, and that it would "fail at the last moment".

Her heart tightened, "Your Majesty intends to take back the military power?"

Xiao Ji's eyes showed admiration, "The Crown Princess is smart."

Just one click and you'll get it done.

Xie Yao understood, that's why Pei Chen said that the Second Prince had found the wrong person.

Xiao Ji continued, "The Wei family will return to the capital soon."

Xie Yao discovered that His Highness had been talking to her about matters in the court recently, and sometimes even asked for her views and opinions.

"Wei family?" Xie Yao's eyes widened slightly, and her voice became a little louder in surprise.

Her gaze fell on His Highness...

Xiao Ji nodded, confirming her guess.

The late queen's surname was Wei. The Wei family was Xiao Ji's maternal grandfather's family and was also a military family. However, after the death of Queen Wei, the women in the family returned to their ancestral home with their young son.

"The second son of the Wei family joined the army in his early years and is now in the Zhenbei Army." Xiao Ji continued to advise Xie Yao.

Xie Yao guessed, "Your Majesty intends to promote me?"

The Wei family is an in-law, but Your Majesty took away Pei Chen's military power and let the Wei family take charge of the army, only because Your Majesty was sure... Xiao Ji did not have much time left.

Xiao Ji had no descendants, so there was no need to worry about fueling his arrogance or worrying about his foreign relatives becoming powerful.

Logically speaking, this is a good thing for her. With the Wei family around, she and her child will be safe after His Highness leaves.

But Xie Yao felt a little depressed and couldn't be happy.

"Your Highness." Xie Yao reached out and hugged Xiao Ji, pressing her cheek against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.

If she hadn't heard it with her own ears in her previous life, she wouldn't have believed that such a strong and powerful prince only had two years left.

Xiao Ji lowered his eyes.

Xie Yao leaned softly against his chest, her trembling eyelashes revealing her inner restlessness.

She held it tight.

Are you... speaking up for him?

Xiao Ji reached out and embraced the person in his arms. His heart, which had long since resigned itself to its fate, suddenly surged with a huge and intense feeling of unwillingness...

……

That night.

Xiao Ji tests Xie Yao's skills.

Xie Yao has been learning from the female master these days.

Her body was softer than anything Xiao Ji had ever seen, and could take any shape he wanted.

The recovery ability is also very strong.

Therefore, she has an extraordinary talent for martial arts. Compared with his previous strength teaching, the female master's method of using softness to overcome hardness and using force to defeat ten skills is naturally more suitable for her.

"Your Highness," Xie Yao said, "Be careful."

She launched the first attack, but this time Xiao Ji was different from last time, as he had already been prepared.

Xiao Ji moved too fast, and it was difficult for Xie Yao to get close to him. She used all kinds of tricks, but they were all easily resolved.

In the end, she didn't meet Xiao Ji, but she was exhausted and sweating.

Xiao Ji grabbed her hand and said seriously, "There are a few things you need to pay attention to."

He began to give Xie Yao direct advice.

Xie Yao understood immediately, responded quickly, and made great progress.

The corners of Xiao Ji's lips curled up slightly, and there was undisguised admiration in his eyes as he looked at her, "You have talent."

"It's all thanks to your highness's good teaching." Xie Yao's breathing was a little rapid, and her body trembled with her breathing.

Her originally fair skin now had an alluring light pink hue.

Xiao Ji withdrew his hand, feeling his throat a little dry. He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea.

It was already dark outside the window, and the candles in the house had not yet been lit. Any movement was magnified in the darkness.

Xie Yao saw that Xiao Ji was not proactive, and then thought about the date the female doctor mentioned...

She reached out and hooked her hand around Xiao Ji's. "I'm sweating all over. I want to take a shower."

"Your Highness, are you coming with me?"

It's hard to say no.

There was water splashing in the bathroom, making quite a noise. Fortunately, the servants in the main courtyard had left early, so no one could hear the noise.

Xie Yao only saw that the whole world seemed to be shaking.

There was only one thought in her mind: It had been several days in a row... How come His Highness was still so powerful?
