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

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent!

Even the smile on the emperor's face faded.

All the veteran officials in the court knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had never sent a birthday gift to His Majesty over the years, and it was a rare opportunity for him to appear at today's banquet.

In such silence, Xie Yujiao felt something was wrong...

Obviously, in her previous life, they didn't treat her like this.

Xiao Ji stood up and said in a deep voice, "Father, I have indeed prepared a birthday gift for you."

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji clapped his hands, and immediately a eunuch presented a tray. The emperor picked up the item on the tray and saw that it was the pulse case.

The Crown Princess...is pregnant!

The emperor suddenly raised his eyes, and although he had been on the throne for many years, he was a little out of control at this moment!

Especially when his eyes swept across Xie Yao, they were filled with murderous intent.

He knew Xiao Ji's physical condition very well. He had already died without an heir and it was impossible for him to have children... What was Xiao Ji trying to do?

Xiao Ji was about to stand in front of Xie Yao and bear the pressure, but he saw Xie Yao holding his hand, taking a step forward and standing side by side with him.

The real her is not the Xie Yao who pretends to be weak in front of His Highness.

"The Crown Princess has diagnosed a pregnancy. Congratulations, father. You will soon be the Emperor's grandfather." Xiao Ji said this with genuine emotion, his voice unable to conceal his joy.

The whole place was quiet again.

This gift... The royal heir is naturally a matter of national importance, especially since this is the prince's first child. If it is a boy, he will be the crown prince.

This is indeed a great gift.

But many people couldn't laugh.

Especially those who knew Xiao Ji's physical condition were very suspicious of the child's origins.

Everyone's eyes were on Xie Yao and Xiao Ji, and the atmosphere was awkward and stiff.

Xiao Ji was not afraid at all, and even asked, "Is the emperor unhappy?"

The emperor had been in high office for many years and had already mastered the skill of concealing his emotions. He looked at Xiao Ji deeply and said, "Of course I'm happy."

"impossible!"

A sudden and sharp female voice suddenly rang out, "Absolutely impossible! This..."

Before she could finish her words, her mouth was suddenly covered.

It was Song Wenbo who took action.

Song Wenbo's expression was extremely grim. He knelt down beside Xie Yujiao and said in a very humble voice, "My wife has lost her mind and likes to talk nonsense. Please don't blame me, Your Majesty."

Damn Xie Yujiao, don’t take him with you even if you want to die!

If he wasn't Xie Yujiao's husband, and if Xie Yujiao wasn't still "useful," he would have been happy to listen to her "go crazy."

The emperor looked at Xie Yujiao with a cold look in his eyes, "Since you are sick, go out less."

What the hell is that?

Is it her turn to interfere in the royal family's affairs?

Song Wenbo was sweating profusely, and felt his back was soaked with sweat. He knelt on the ground and repeatedly said yes.

Even though he had met His Majesty several times, he was still frightened by His Majesty's aura.

But at the same time, he also noticed another pair of cold eyes falling on him, and he knew that it was Her Royal Highness the Princess.

He also needs to give an explanation to the princess about what happened today.

Xiao Ning's cold eyes quickly moved away from Song Wenbo and fell on Xie Yao and Xiao Ji.

She thought it was foolproof, but unexpectedly... she miscalculated.

Xiao Ji is so calculating that he is willing to go this far for Xie Yao, even acknowledging a bastard!

Xiao Hong's eyes were equally cold and dangerous, and filled with jealousy.

Bitch!

You can give birth to a child for another man, and yet you pretend to be a chaste woman in front of him?

It's just second-hand stuff that someone has played with...

Before Xiao Hong finished this thought, he felt a chill on his back. It was Xiao Ji's eyes falling on him. It seemed as if he could see through what he was thinking, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Xiao Hong's heart trembled and he subconsciously looked away.

Immediately, he felt even more annoyed. Why was a dying man being so arrogant?

But without exception, the news announced by Xiao Ji and Xie Yao made everyone, including Xiao Hong and Xiao Ning, nervous and anxious.

With Xiao Ji's "gift" in front of him, Xiao Hong lost the opportunity to ask for a marriage.

At Concubine Shu's reminder, the emperor looked at Xiao Ji with a sullen face, "Does the Crown Prince have any requests?"

Xiao Ji lowered his eyes and said, "I would like to ask the emperor for a portrait."

The emperor's face suddenly darkened, and he looked at Xiao Ji with displeasure in his eyes, but at the same time, he could not hide his longing and emotion.

They all knew that what Xiao Ji wanted must be the portrait of the late queen.

The emperor was silent for a moment, then said, "Approved."

Xiao Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, "Thank you, father."

After the gift presentation, the banquet was held, and the atmosphere was lively with clinking glasses.

Xie Yao was pregnant, but she openly did not drink alcohol, only sweet fruit drinks.

"Your Highness."

The young eunuch walked up to Xiao Ji and whispered, "Your Majesty invites you."

Xiao Ji looked at Xie Yao.

Xie Yao nodded slightly, "I'll wait here for Your Highness."

Only then did Xiao Ji leave.

"Xie Yao!"

Xie Yujiao's voice rang out in front of her. Her expression was one of both contempt and pride, as if she had caught Xie Yao's handle. "I know your secret."

Xie Yao: “…”

She glanced at Xie Yujiao and was too lazy to even respond.

Xie Yujiao continued, "You don't have to worry about your secret being known to everyone, right?"

Xie Yao asked: "Oh? What secret?"

Xie Yujiao choked, "The bastard you are pregnant with..."

Snapped!

Xie Yao slapped Xie Yujiao in the face. The sound of the slap was so crisp that it attracted the attention of everyone around.

"Do you know what the crime is for spreading rumors and slandering the royal heir?"

Xie Yao asked back in a clear voice.

Song Wenbo didn't expect that Xie Yujiao would get into trouble again just when he was there to offer a toast. He stepped forward and said, "Princess, please forgive me. My wife is ill."

Song Wenbo apologized and pulled Xie Yujiao out of the hall.

Xie Yujiao finally shook off Song Wenbo, "Husband, why are you pulling me? It's Xie Yao who should be anxious!"

"She confused the royal bloodline, which is a capital crime!"

"We have such a big handle on Xie Yao, what are we afraid of her doing?" Xie Yao was the only one kneeling down to beg her!

Song Wenbo raised his hand mid-air, then slowly lowered it, asking uncertainly, "Are you serious?"

"Of course!" Xie Yujiao raised her chin slightly and said firmly, "My dear husband, please believe me. Xie Yao is definitely not pregnant with the prince's child."

"Why?" Song Wenbo frowned.

Xie Yujiao sneered, "Prince... that's impossible!"

She failed to seduce the prince in her previous life, but she did drug the prince. Even after drugging him, the prince didn't touch her. What else could that be?

Song Wenbo looked at Xie Yujiao in surprise and doubt, "Did Jiaojiao also predict this?"

Xie Yujiao choked and nodded heavily, "Yes."

"So, my husband, we don't have to be afraid of Xie Yao at all. She's...dead."

Xie Yujiao was feeling proud and didn't notice that Song Wenbo was looking at her with a scrutinizing and inquiring look.

……

Xiao Ji was transferred to the Yangxin Palace.

The emperor was sitting on the dragon throne, his golden robe luxurious yet inexplicably lonely.

There was a rolled-up painting next to him.

Judging from the color, it should be an old item, but it has been well maintained. Apart from the slight fading of the paper, there is no problem.

This is the painting Xiao Ji wanted.

The emperor pushed the painting of Xiao Ji in the direction of his left eye and said, "It's yours."

Xiao Ji immediately thanked him, "Thank you, Father."

His mother died of complications during childbirth, and the emperor hated him because of this. For so many years, he could only see his mother's portrait secretly and could not own it openly.

now……

Xiao Ji reached out to take the painting.

Then the emperor's voice rang out again, "Your Crown Princess and that bastard..."

"Let's deal with it."
