“The emperor dotes on the princess, so he will definitely arrange everything for the princess.”Xiao Baoxin chuckled.
She knew what Xie Xian was planning, but Princess Xuancheng was the Emperor’s daughter. Whether she wanted to marry into the Xiao Family as a second wife was still another matter. Even if it was almost certain, she was still lacking a star or two. She could not say anything before it was decided.
If there was a mistake in the future, it would make Xuancheng happy for nothing. If it reached the Emperor’s ears, it would seem that their family was plotting against the royal family and secretly messing with the princess of Xuancheng.
However, for her brother, who was not a good thing, to be able to make Princess Xuancheng so obsessed with him, while others treated Xiao Baoshu as a piece of grass, only Princess Xuancheng treated him as a treasure, it was really…She would not believe that they were not fated.
Princess Xuancheng didn’t comment. What she was worried about now was her brother’s marriage.
The marriage of Xin ‘an King was mixed with many factors and attracted the attention of many people, so there were many twists and turns.
In the past, she didn’t really like Xu Liuniang, but the Emperor had chosen her, so he naturally had his considerations. However, before she married into the family, she was already set up and killed. It was not easy to pick Xiao Ning, but her appearance was not satisfactory.
How could she not know that Xin An Prince was her brother? Since young, even the palace maids and eunuchs around her had to be more beautiful than one another, so she had extremely high standards for appearance. This was probably impossible.
“I’m not in a hurry. Take it slow. If there’s no suitable one, it’s better to do whatever you want in the palace. After all, there were only a few people like Madam Xiao who had found a suitable husband.”Princess Xuancheng smiled.” I’ve heard rumors about you in the palace. You may not be in the harem, but there are many legends about you in the palace. I heard that Minister Xie dotes on you to the heavens.”
Xiao Baoxin was rarely modest.
“It’s alright.”
Xiao Ning wanted to laugh at her words. Could she say it more carelessly?
“Sister Xiao is in Shu. I heard that you can eat spicy food there. I specially asked the imperial kitchen to make a few Shu dishes.”
Xiao Ning was so touched that she was about to cry. When she saw the arrogant and despotic princess of Xuancheng just now, she only thought that she was arrogant and spoiled. But now, no matter how she looked at it, she was a considerate, dignified, generous, and understanding person.
As soon as they let go, the few of them started chatting. Especially when the lunch was served, half of the dishes on the table were Shu dishes. Xiao Ning’s appetite was aroused.
He wanted to keep it a little since it was their first meeting in the inner court of the palace.
It was just that her dreams were very rich, but reality was very skinny. She had not been able to eat for a few days, and all the food that she liked was suddenly in her mouth. How could she resist it? She was sweating all over and her cheeks were red. Xiao Baoxin was salivating.
“You eat too. It’s really delicious.”Princess Xuancheng couldn’t help but persuade her as tears streamed down her face.
Jiankang didn’t like spicy food at all. Usually, they rarely put some spicy food in it, and it wouldn’t be so strong. Ordinary chefs wouldn’t cook it. However, the chefs in the imperial kitchen were all different. Only a master of Shu cuisine could make it. It was just that there were few nobles in the palace who liked this kind of thing, and that master did not have the space to display it. It was not easy for Princess Xuancheng to order it, and he could not wait to use all his skills to amaze the world.
Xiao Baoxin really couldn’t hold it in any longer, but she didn’t dare to eat it. It wasn’t because she was afraid that someone in the palace would poison her. Xuan Cheng and Xiao Ning had almost finished their plates. If something had happened, it would have happened long ago. However, the Xie family kept an eye on her every day, so there were many taboos. This thing couldn’t be eaten, and that thing was not suitable for pregnant women. Therefore, she was nervous and didn’t dare to eat anything recklessly.
On the other hand, Princess Xuancheng and Xiao Ning had taken off their makeup and ate without caring.
From the looks of it, it was the Xie family who did not entertain her well and did not make delicious food for the Xiao family’s cousin.
In the past, he had seen her chew slowly and only eat half a bowl of food. She ate as if she was taking medicine, and he had thought that she had a small appetite. Today, he saw that it was not the case. Not only did he eat a big bowl of rice, but he also ate half of the Sichuan dishes that Princess Xuancheng had ordered. Even three to five young ladies with average appetites were not his match.
“All of you…Eat.” Xiao Baoxin swallowed his saliva. Cousin Xiao was poisonous. He was hungry just by watching her eat.
It was actually too late to say that. The table was already empty.
In the end, Xuan Cheng and Xiao Ning almost collapsed under the table.

When Prince Xin ‘an arrived outside Taiji Palace, he saw the Crown Prince coming out. There were still two drops of tears hanging from the corners of his eyes that hadn’t been wiped clean. His nose was red, and it was obvious that he had just cried.
When the Crown Prince saw him, a mocking smile hung on the corner of his mouth. His eyes were filled with contempt, as if he was looking at a pile of shit.
“Big brother.” Xin ‘an King lowered his eyes and cupped his hands.
The Crown Prince snorted coldly. He wanted to kill the Xin ‘an Prince with just one glance.
His aunt had died, but he still had such great ability to influence his father. This was something he did not expect. He thought that with the death of Liu Guifei, Xuancheng and Xin ‘an would also die.
It was too late to make a move.
Not only the Empress, but even his uncle was unhappy, saying that it was too eye-catching. He was dead. So what if he was eye-catching? Both his left and right were dead. Anyway, he didn’t do it himself. There was no way to find him.
He was not afraid of the Empress and Wang Lang. One was locked up in the palace, and the other had been dismissed from his post. He was afraid of the Emperor sitting high up on the dragon throne. As long as the Emperor took a look at him, he would tremble all over. The illness she had suffered since she was young could not be changed.
“Brat.” The Crown Prince patted Xin ‘an King’s shoulder. He actually wanted to pat Xin’ an King’s head, but when he saw that the jade crown on Xin ‘an King’s head was quite prickly, he let it go. “Paying respects to Imperial Father again?”
“Yes, big brother.” Xin An Wang Duo didn’t say a word. He knew in his heart that no matter what he said, it wouldn’t end well.
“Don’t be so good. You’ve made Imperial Father angry.”
The Crown Prince took two steps forward and then retreated. “You are a glutton and you live outside the palace. What good food can’t you eat…
However, you have to be careful. Don’t be like your aunt, greedy and accidentally poisoned to death. What’s the use of burying so many people in the cake shop?”
The Xin ‘an Prince suddenly clenched his fists, the veins on his neck popping out.
He knew that the Crown Prince was deliberately provoking him and making him angry so that he would lose his composure.
He could not fall for his goading!
“Brat.” The crown prince smiled, revealing his white teeth. He reached out and patted Xin ‘an King’s forehead. He would kill him sooner or later.
She flung her sleeves and left, not taking a single cloud with her.
When King Xin ‘an saw Emperor Yu Heng, his mood had already calmed down a lot. At the very least, nothing could be seen on his face. On the other hand, Emperor Yu Heng looked to be in a dispirited mood, which was really not good.
Especially since the death of Liu Guifei, he had gotten into the habit of drinking. If he didn’t get drunk for a day, he would feel that he hadn’t drunk enough. He would drink until his complexion was not good.
It was still alright today. It was already rare that there was no alcohol on his body.
What made Prince Xin ‘an’s heart feel blocked was the Emperor’s eyes were red. It was obvious that he had just cried. What exactly made the Emperor and Crown Prince cry together? This was not a good sign.
“How is it? How do you like each other?” Emperor Yu Heng forced himself to ask.
“The Xiao family’s lady is dignified and beautiful, and her bearing is generous..””
