Chapter 574: Hate to Get Married
Translator: 549690339
It wasn’t until the day of the full moon that Xiao Baoxin felt that all his hard work had not been in vain when he saw everyone’s stunned and jealous gazes.
As expected, she was still shallow and suitable to live under the envious and jealous gazes of others.
Xiao Baoxin thought in a vain manner. She straightened her back and raised her chin slightly. She felt that she was very reserved, but others felt very proud when they saw her.
What was there to be proud of?
Climbing up a high branch and marrying into an aristocratic family?
She got pregnant and gave birth to a great-great-grandson for the Xie family?
She was pampered by Xie Xian to the point where she tore apart her aunt, as well as those people who were dealt with because of her in the open and in the dark?
They all seemed to be worthy of pride.
“.. Ah Yan was too beautiful. Why was he so good-looking? Why don’t we also get married when we’re young? When I have a daughter, I’ll marry your son, okay?”Chu Lingzi did not hide her envy.
She had just come over from Madam Yuan’s place, and Xie Yan had been carried by Madam Yuan all the way, surrounded by people.
Chu Lingzi finally squeezed her way forward to take a look, but she couldn’t pull it out.
Wang Qiang held her forehead, her head aching.” You’re married too. You can’t be so unbridled anymore. What would it look like if people heard you?”” “You’re pregnant?” Wang Shierniang asked.
“I was just saying.” Chu Lingzi shook her head.”
Alright, Wang Shi Er finally understood why Wang Qiang would say those words. Was this something a new daughter-in-law who had just married into her husband’s family should say?
Only Xie Wan pursed her lips and smiled.
“What are you laughing at?” Chu Lingzi asked.
“.. Aren’t you afraid that your daughter will take after her father’s looks?”
Chu Lingzi’s face stiffened, and the corners of her mouth twitched. Therefore, looking for a husband still depended on one’s looks. Now that she said that, she was also worried.
“Then I’ll just have a son.” “A son takes after his mother.” She touched her face.
Even if he took after his father, so what if he was ugly and handsome? Xi Si was so ugly, but didn’t he find a beautiful wife like her? Unlike her daughter, who was already picky even before she was born.
Although the Xi family and the Xie family had also broken up, they were not like the Cai family who did not interact at all. Even the wives of several families came to celebrate.
However, Chief Justice Xi didn’t appear, only Minister Xi brought the congratulatory ceremony.
Xiao Baoxin had been in confinement for an entire month. He was so bored that he was about to mold. Finally, he could see the light of day. His entire person was in high spirits, but even so, he could not say anything like marrying a virtuous woman. After all… She was also a beauty lover and chose Xie Xian based on his looks.
Xie Yan wasn’t an ordinary person. He was one of the 3,000 beauties in the harem who had once been an emperor. His taste in beauty couldn’t be changed.
He pretended that Chu Lingzi and Xie Wan did not hear him. In any case, the two of them had grown up together. No one could separate them. It was normal for the two of them to speak inappropriately.
The climax of the entire banquet was the arrival of the eldest princess of Xuancheng, who had come with Emperor Yong Ping’s reward. Just the golden jade, paintings, and so on that had been given were pulled into the Xie residence by two carts and more than ten eunuchs.
From the time Mother Xie led the Xie family’s disciples to kneel and thank them, to the time when they moved the rewards into the warehouse and sent the eunuchs away, it took more than an hour.
Xuancheng had been granted the title of Eldest Princess by Emperor Yong Ping, his elder brother, during the new year. The fief had increased by another 2,000 households. Adding on the 3,000 households previously granted by the previous emperor, there were now 5,000 households.
Of course, this was a virtual seal. If it was a real seal, it would be about 500 households, which was enough. At least there was no precedent in the previous dynasties.
It was enough for the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng to be proud like a peacock, dressed up in a flamboyant and dazzling manner.
She was even more flamboyant than when the Emperor was her biological father.
She didn’t waste any more time talking to the noble ladies. After meeting the elders of the Xie family, she went straight to Xiao Baoxin and naturally squeezed the others to the side.
I have good news for you.” Xuan Cheng pulled Xiao Baoxin to the side. He did not need to say anything to feel that she was full of joy. It was as if she had inhaled the legendary Five Food Powder. Even Xiao Baoxin, who had empathized with this emotion, was about to float.
“Imperial Brother is about to issue an edict to summon Xiao Baoshu back!”
Xiao Baoxin’s eyes lit up when he heard that. This was indeed great news. “When?”
“I said immediately!” Xuan Cheng’s eyes widened. Could she pull the Emperor and ask which day it was? “Anyways, it’ll be soon. Brother wants us to get married next spring, so this year is for me to prepare for marriage.”
He did not feel embarrassed at all when he said this.
It was a matter of course.
“You will be 14 next year?” Xiao Baoxin asked, did the Emperor have to be so anxious?
“I don’t want to stay in the palace either.”Xuan Cheng frowned.
The four concubines chosen by Emperor Yong Ping had entered the palace before the new year. The palace was completely lively. The four concubines were all more beautiful than the other. Empress Xiao was like a green leaf surrounded by four fragrant flowers.
Every day, these flowers and plants would come up with all sorts of tricks to fight for favor.
She lived in the Empress Dowager’s palace, and every day was like watching a show. These flowers were all showing their abilities. They were either trying to please the Emperor or the Empress Dowager. Also, she, the Eldest Princess, could not stop. She could not handle these people in one day.
She couldn’t wait to get married immediately, but the princess’s manor was still under construction, so it wouldn’t be so fast.
“Why don’t you ask Xiao Baoshu to propose marriage to my brother after he comes back? Let me marry him as soon as possible. I’m about to throw up when I see those concubines acting all pretentious every day.”
Xiao Baoxin:” You’re still young. Aren’t you afraid that the officials will laugh at you for being so anxious to get married?”
“I don’t care about them?”” I’m the Eldest Princess now,” Xuan Cheng said.” Even if they want to laugh, they will laugh behind my back. Who dares to laugh in front of me?””
Alright, when it comes to bringing out the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng in a domineering manner, who can compete with her?
“Okay, but I can’t tell Baoshu this. He’s still young, if he really begs the emperor, I’m afraid that if word gets out that you’re secretly giving and receiving, it won’t be good for either of you. Why don’t I mention it to my father first and see what my father and mother think?”
“That’s great.” The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng was relieved. Whatever she was annoyed with came. Coincidentally, what she was most annoyed with was what the Emperor liked the most.
She really couldn’t understand the Emperor. He was obviously a smart person, but he liked to be coy, pretending to be pure and innocent like Little Lotus. The weaker she was, the more the Emperor liked her.
For example, the Chu family’s Jiuniang and the imperial consort.
With her superb pseudo-white lotus attributes, she left the other Shu, De, and Xian concubines far behind and took the lead.
If it weren’t for Chu Lingzi’s sake, she would have beaten up Noble Consort Chu every time she saw her. Her fists were itchy just by looking at her pretentious strength.
” In addition,” Princess Xuancheng whispered into Xiao Baoxin’s ear,””I accidentally heard it. Don’t spread it…Your brother-in-law, Yang Shao, seems like my brother wants to give Lujiang to him.”
There was no place to talk about the chaos in the palace. Rouran had sent a diplomatic mission to Daliang to propose marriage. Princess Lujiang and Princess Xunyang were like headless flies. They had begged everywhere from the empress dowager to the empress, but they did not want to marry Rouran..
