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

Xiao Ji sat opposite Xie Yao, holding a black piece between his fingertips and placing it steadily on the chessboard.

"Sinan said that Qian Jin's mother had an accident a few days before Xiao Ning found him."

Xie Yao nodded, she knew it too.

Qian Jin was studying at college, so he was unable to return to the village immediately when the flood came.

When he returned to the village, his mother had been abandoned by her uncle, who had taken her food but gave her nothing to eat.

That's why Qian Jin found her so accurately.

This was Xiao Ning's arrangement. First, it was a beauty trap, and second, it was to use a fake account book to "clear the name" of Qian Jin's father.

Qian Jin took advantage of Xiao Ning's trick and plotted against him. He was also on the boat this time, heading north with them.

Xie Yao also placed a piece.

Xiao Ji raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at the Crown Princess opposite him without leaving any trace.

It was the first time he played chess with Xie Yao, and he realized that his Crown Princess was very calculating and logical.

Absolutely unusual!

At first, he was thinking about spending time with his own princess, but he didn't expect...

He looked at Xie Yao staring at the chessboard with serious concentration.

The corners of Xiao Ji's lips curled up high, feeling proud.

His princess is awesome.

After a long time, neither of them had decided the winner, but Xie Yao suddenly came to her senses. She was so angry that she was blood-thirsty.

Thinking of the image I have in the prince's heart...

Xie Yao raised her eyes carefully, but only met his smiling and doting eyes, which were full of attachment and warmth.

Xie Yao's heart, which had been slightly lifted, suddenly dropped, as if it had hit soft cotton, and her heart felt warm and swelled.

"Yaoyao."

Xiao Ji waved the black piece in front of her eyes, "It's your turn."

Worried that Xie Yao would be unhappy, he did not let her go.

Xie Yao seemed to be encouraged. After considering for a moment, she placed the white piece steadily in the calculated position.

Eat up a large number of Xiao Ji's chess pieces.

She... has never been a good person.

Xie Yao looked up casually, wanting to see Xiao Ji's reaction, but she only saw his eyes full of admiration.

She suddenly felt relieved for no reason.

Five days later.

When the boat arrived at the ferry in the capital, people from the three departments had already come to greet them. Before Xie Yao got off the boat, he noticed a vicious look falling on him.

She raised her eyes and looked——

The second prince Xiao Hong.

He was dressed in royal blue brocade clothes, and his temperament was less gentle than before, and he looked very gloomy.

That sinister look was so disgusting that Xie Yao felt nauseous just by being looked at.

next moment.

Xiao Ji stood beside Xie Yao, blocking Xiao Hong's sight.

He looked at Xiao Hong without hesitation, with a cold glint in his eyes, full of warning.

Xiao Hong looked away and his eyes fell on Xiao Ning.

He received the account book.

The affairs of Nanzhou were of course related to him. Last year, a large sum of money was sent to his house regarding the dam incident.

But he checked the money in the account book with his uncle and confirmed that he had not received it.

His good sister...

"Royal brother, Royal sister-in-law, Royal sister."

Xiao Hong bowed and called everyone one by one, with a look of pride on his face. It wasn't because of anything else, but just because the account book was sent to the emperor.

He is still in custody and able to walk around.

Xiao Ji also had to go to the palace to meet the emperor, report the affairs of Nanzhou, and order Si Nan to send Xie Yao back to the prince's mansion.

He personally escorted Xie Yao to the carriage, held her hand and said softly, "I'll be back soon."

Xie Yao's eyebrows curved and her voice was soft, "I know."

Xiao Hong was standing not far away, watching this picturesque scene, his hands clenched into fists under his sleeves.

In addition to jealousy, there is also full of hatred and disgust.

Xie Yao...bitch!

The carriage door closed.

The smile on Xie Yao's face instantly faded.

Xiao Hong, you're such an eyesore.

She had been away from the Prince's Mansion for half a month, and everything in the mansion was still the same as before.

"elder sister!"

Xie Zhan had been waiting at the gate of the Prince's Mansion. When he saw her, he came forward with a bright smile on his face.

Compared to half a month ago, I feel much more cheerful.

She was wearing clothes that fit her well, and her face no longer had the nervousness she had when she first arrived, which made people happy just by looking at her.

"Azhan."

Xie Yao smiled brightly, "Have you been studying hard recently?"

Before Xie Zhan could answer, Zhu Xin, who stayed in the capital to look after the family, said, "Don't worry, Princess Consort. The young master has been studying very hard lately, and he stays up very late every day reading..."

"That won't work."

Xie Yao said seriously, "If you don't sleep enough, you won't grow tall. A good balance of work and rest will do."

Xie Zhan's face turned slightly red, and he thanked them earnestly and responded yes. The brother and sister exchanged a few more words before being taken away.

Zhu Xin then talked about the important affairs in the capital during this period.

"Crown Princess, the Xie family has come several times recently, wanting to take the young master away. I will follow your instructions, and maybe."

"Although the Second Prince's affair was strictly forbidden in the palace, many people still knew about it privately."

"Song Wenbo is still secretly looking for a doctor. The Song family is filled with the smell of medicine all day long. He told others that it was medicine to preserve the second young lady's pregnancy."

"..."

"Five days ago, the Li family was surrounded by the Imperial Guards."

Xie Yao listened one by one, and the person had already entered the main house.

I was exhausted from the long journey and was swaying on the boat, so I couldn't get a good rest.

After taking a bath, she leaned lazily on the couch.

Still comfortable to lie down on.

Lying down, she fell asleep...

It was only morning when the fleet arrived at the ferry, and it was already evening when Xiao Ji returned.

He walked into the main courtyard of the Prince's Mansion in the afterglow of the setting sun. The courtyard was quiet and it seemed that nothing had changed.

But in the details, Xie Yao also made arrangements.

Shows a bit of warmth.

As he entered the room, he saw Xie Yao sleeping on the couch. Her breathing was even and deep, and she was sleeping soundly.

In summer, she only wore a light gauze dress, and her thin quilt was kicked off while she was sleeping.

Her snow-white skin was faintly visible under the veil, hazy and beautiful.

Xiao Ji's heart suddenly softened.

Like a traveler who had found his home, he walked slowly forward and picked up Xie Yao who was lying on the couch.

Xie Yao moaned, her eyes still closed, but her hands subconsciously hooked around his neck, her voice soft, "Your Highness."

She is acting coquettishly.

"Yeah." Xiao Ji hummed, and said softly as if coaxing a child, "Go back to sleep."

He put the man on the bed.

Xie Yao also sat up by using the strength of hugging his neck.

The quilt that Xiao Ji had covered her with slipped off, and the light gauze on her body could not cover anything at all.

But she obviously didn't notice, she just hooked her arm around Xiao Ji and asked, "Your Highness, why did you come back so late?"

Xiao Ji's eyes deepened slightly, and he hummed, "I came back late."

"Is it time for dinner? Are you hungry?"

Xie Yao shook her head and nodded.

Xiao Ji raised the corners of his lips, gave an order to the outside, then stood up, took the outer garment, put it on Xie Yao himself, and changed her clothes.

Xie Yao suddenly realized something, and her cheeks flushed. She was only 50% sober, but now she was 100% sober. "Your Highness, I just..."

"Yeah." Xiao Ji nodded, tilted his head and bit her ear, "I thought the Crown Princess was inviting me."
