The next day.

When Xie Yao stood up, Xiao Ji was gone.

She thought about it and then told Zhu Qing, "Tell the kitchen to make more nourishing soup."

She didn't doubt Xiao Ji's performance.

But His Highness doesn't have much time left, and she is worried that such indulgence will cause harm to His Highness's body.

But it’s okay, it’s only these few days this month that I’ll be busy, so I’ll make up for it first.

The descendants are great.

Zhu Qing blushed and immediately agreed, "Yes, Crown Princess."

Just as Zhu Qing left, Yuyan walked in from outside, "Crown Princess, someone from the Xie family is here to discuss the adoption of an heir."

It's very fast.

Xie Yao nodded, "Okay."

Last time, Xie's father tried to refuse, but this time he was honest.

In addition to Xie's father and Zhang, the elders of Xie's ancestors were also present today.

Of course, Father Xie himself is the patriarch.

Xie Yujiao was seriously injured and did not come.

As expected, Xie Yao saw the pair of children born to her father by his concubine among the group of children.

Do you want to take both children under your name?

When she looked over, Xie Yuru and Xie Jing's eyes fell on her at the same time.

There was a flash of surprise in Xie Yuru's eyes, followed by longing.

Obviously, these two people are very clear about their identities and know her.

Xie Yao nodded slightly, then looked away coldly at a ragged child standing in the corner.

The child was about ten years old. His clothes were worn but clean. He stood aside with his head lowered, obviously not very confident.

This is the person she has her eyes on.

Naturally, Xie's father chose Xie Jing among all the people, and because Xie Jing and Xie Yuru were siblings and had lost their father, it was natural for him to propose that both of them stay in the Xie family.

After all, Xie's father had planned everything for Xie Jing.

The other children chosen for comparison this time were all of average condition, and naturally could not compare to Xie Jing, who had been guided by his father Xie since childhood.

Xie Yao didn't know what Zhang was thinking and didn't refuse.

This matter went very smoothly.

Immediately, everyone's eyes fell on Xie Yao. Xie's father smiled and said, "Yaoyao, which one do you like?"

No one here can be better than his Jing'er.

No matter what Xie Yao's intention was to adopt an adopted son under the name of Zhao, it could not be ignored by Jing'er.

Xie Yao stood up and walked to Xie Zhan, who was at the edge of the room. She said softly, "Will you be my brother?"

"Father?"

An incredulous voice rang out. It was Xie Jing, who had already stood beside Xie's father, "Don't you have me?"

Why do you want another one?

He is his father's biological child, so what is that person?

"Jing'er." Xie's father's voice came from behind with a hint of warning.

Xie Yao didn't look back, but just looked at the child in front of her with a gentle smile on her face.

"Me, me?"

Xie Zhan slowly raised his head, his timid voice filled with great insecurity.

Xie Yao nodded affirmatively.

Xie Zhan's eyes suddenly lit up, like the most exquisite gem having the dust wiped off its surface.

Can he really?

Xie Zhan thought to himself...

But he quickly knelt down with a quick yet clumsy movement, "I, I do, sister!"

Xie Yao gestured to Zhu Qing to help him up, "Since you are my brother, there is no need to kneel down to others casually."

Her clear voice was full of confidence, and Xie Zhan's body straightened up a little.

Xie Jing, who was standing next to Xie's father, saw this scene, clenched his hands into fists, and hatred flashed in his eyes.

A beggar is worthy of being his brother?

After the candidate is chosen, the next step is to include him in the family tree and kowtow.

Xie Yuru and Xie Jing, brother and sister, kowtowed to Zhang and Xie's father, while Xie Zhan kowtowed to the tablets of Xie's father and Zhao.

"big sister."

Xie Yao heard a soft voice and turned to look——

The person who spoke was Xie Yuru.

Xie Yuru's face was full of admiration and yearning, but Xie Yao just nodded indifferently.

The smile on Xie Yuru's face froze, she bit her lower lip lightly, and the hem of the skirt in her hand was deformed by her pinching.

They are obviously the father's daughters...

"Father."

Xie Yao looked at her father walking out of the ancestral hall and waved to Xie Zhan, "Now that he is my brother, I will take him back to the Prince's Mansion to live for a few days, so that we can strengthen our relationship."

Since she has chosen a man, she naturally has to be responsible for him.

Leaving Xie Zhan in the Xie family is undoubtedly like walking into a tiger's mouth. Neither Xie Jing nor Zhang will let Xie Zhan go.

Xie Yao said this.

The jealousy in Xie Jing and Xie Yuru's eyes was even stronger.

That’s the prince’s mansion!

Who the hell is Xie Zhan? Why should he be allowed to go?

How could Xie's father dare to refute? Naturally, he said yes repeatedly.

To Xie Yao's surprise, Zhang did not object, but her eyes were gloomy and full of hatred and murderous intent.

Xie Yao felt a little depressed and was about to leave with Xie Zhan.

"The Crown Prince is here!"

The voices of servants were heard outside, and everyone hurried to bow.

"No need to be so polite." Xiao Ji walked to Xie Yao's side, glanced at Xie Zhan out of the corner of his eye, and said, "I'm just here to pick up the Crown Princess."

Xiao Ji held Xie Yao's hand and led her out.

"big sister!"

A clear voice suddenly rang out, and Xie Yuru trotted over to Xie Yao and Xiao Ji, her cheeks flushed. She bit her lower lip and said in a sweet voice, "I want to accompany my sister, too, okay?"

When she asked this question, she couldn't help but look at Xiao Ji.

Without waiting for Xie Yao to answer, Xiao Ji said coldly, "Not good."

Xie Yuru's smile froze on her face, as if tears were about to fall in the next second.

She had already thought about what to say next when Xie Yao refused, but she didn't expect that the person who refused would be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Xiao Ji took Xie Yao and Xie Zhan and left quickly.

Xie Yuru's eyes were red, and her face was full of resentment. "Why? They are obviously Daddy's children..."

Why can she and her brother only be raised outside, while Xie Yao can become the noble Crown Princess?

There was also dissatisfaction in Xie Jing's eyes.

Today should have been his big day, but that little bastard Xie Zhan stole the limelight!

"Go back, sister." The brother and sister turned around and just as they walked around the screen wall, they heard the servants' subtle voices, "If you ask me, this young lady is a disaster star, an ominous person."

"He killed his mother right after he was born, and later stole the second young lady's marriage. And now he's causing all this trouble..."

The brother and sister looked at each other and stopped in tacit understanding.

……

With His Highness around, Xie Zhan didn't dare to say much. He just huddled in the corner like a poor little thing.

Xie Yao was not familiar with him yet, so when they arrived at the Prince's Mansion, she asked Yuyan to take him to his residence, bathe him, change his clothes, wash up, and rest, and have dinner together in the evening.

Wait till we meet again.

Xie Zhan had changed his clothes, and the new, well-fitting clothes made him look much more energetic.

He was still a little reserved and saluted awkwardly, "Your Highness, Crown Princess..."

"Call me sister." Xie Yao waved her hand. "We're all family, no need to be so formal."

Xie Zhan didn't eat much for dinner. Seeing that he was not feeling well, Xie Yao asked someone to take him back to rest.

Zhu Qing brought the nourishing soup that Xie Yao had asked the kitchen to prepare and quickly left.

Xie Yao personally held it in front of Xiao Ji and said, "Your Highness has been tired recently, so I specially asked the kitchen to make a nourishing soup for you to replenish your body."

Xiao Ji paused slightly and lowered his eyes to glance at the tonic soup.

As a result of long-term illness, he became a doctor. He read many medical books and believed that he knew a lot about medical principles.

This nourishing soup...

Xiao Ji's throat rolled, "Is the Crown Princess hinting at me?"

The tonic soup Xie Yao was talking about was a proper tonic soup, and she never expected Zhu Qing and the people in the kitchen to misunderstand her.

So he answered seriously, "I feel sorry for Your Highness."

Xiao Ji laughed out of anger. He stared at Xie Yao and said, "Crown Princess, the one who said no last night...wasn't me."
