When Princess Xuancheng stared at her, Xiao Baoxin had a bad feeling. His eyelids kept twitching. Indeed, it was not good to be afraid of bad things, but bad to be afraid of bad people.
Although Princess Xuancheng was not a bad person, this pampered princess did not know the sufferings of the world. She only thought of herself and did whatever she wanted. Not to mention that she was three or four years older than Xin ‘an King, she did not even fancy this person. He was even younger than her brother. His demeanor and temperament could not be compared to Xie Xian’s. He was just a brat who was still wet behind the ears.
When she entered the palace, she didn’t say that she was careful, but she didn’t want to stand out. She was happy to be a quail. She didn’t want to get mixed up in the harem. She was even more unwilling to marry into the palace.
Empress Wang and Noble Consort Liu did not interfere with each other, but the Crown Prince and Prince Xin ‘an were almost the same age. When they grew older, it was inevitable that they would fight. After all, the tradition of the old Song family was to kill each other. She wanted to die so that she could join them.
However, it was obvious that she had thought about it. Before she could think of how to react, the Xin ‘an King was unhappy and shouted,
“Stop fooling around. Auntie has already helped me find the right person. Lady Xiao is so much older than me. How can you say such words? I’m not blessed to enjoy it!”
In the end, he even glanced at Xiao Baoxin as if he was afraid that she would take it seriously and stick to her.
Although Xiao Baoxin got what he wanted, he felt disgusted as if he had eaten a live fly. She really wanted to say that the king was thinking too much. She really did not have the intention to climb up the ladder. He was just a little broken child. At most, he would be a flood dragon. It was not certain if he could become a dragon.
How old was she? He was clearly the one who was young, alright? She was still in her prime, the age of a flower.
“Your Majesty is right. If I may say something unpleasant, my little brother is one year older than Your Majesty.”Xiao Baoxin said,”If Princess likes it, we can meet often in the future. There’s no need to think too much.””
Princess Xuancheng glared at the Prince of Xin ‘an when she saw that he was unwilling. She was obviously blaming her brother for not improving and even making excuses for such a small matter. Did Lady Xiao’s face make him yield? “How can it be more convenient than being a sister-in-law? It’s inconvenient for you to enter the palace, and it’s even more difficult for me to leave the palace.”Princess Xuancheng felt regretful. She was not a young man. Otherwise, how could she have gotten Lady Xiao? With such a valiant girl by his side, it would be wonderful.
Her brother had no taste.
Imperial Concubine Liu only smiled and did not speak. She just watched the two siblings fight there. After a while, she heard the palace maid report that the Seventeenth Prince had woken up.
The Seventeenth Prince was Noble Consort Liu’s son, born last year. At her age, she could be considered an old clam giving birth to a pearl. Noble Consort Liu was a doting child, and this Seventeenth Prince was even more so when she held him in her hands, afraid that he would fall and melt in her mouth.
Although Xin ‘an King was not old, he still had to avoid suspicion. It was not good to have too much contact with the daughter of a foreign minister. If word got out, both sides would have a bad reputation.
Thus, he handed the heavy responsibility of entertaining the guests to Princess Xuancheng, leaving only the King of Xin ‘an to speak to her mother.
Princess Xuancheng was completely unaware that she had been exiled and happily left with the Xiao family’s two beauties.
“It’s in the Eternal Wo Palace. Don’t wander around.”Noble Consort Liu raised her voice and instructed. She watched as Xuan Cheng took a few steps out of the main hall. It was unknown whether she heard him or not.
After a while, the nanny carried the Seventeenth Prince over.
The Seventeenth Prince was only one year old and had yet to be crowned a king, so everyone only addressed him according to his rank.
Imperial Concubine Liu grabbed a string of agate beads and teased the Seventeenth Prince while thoughtfully glancing left and right at the King of Xin ‘an.
No one took Princess Xuancheng’s words seriously, but Noble Consort Liu was. General Xiao was Emperor Yuheng’s trusted aide and held a large army in his hands. He had some face in front of the Emperor. Little Six was getting older. It would be of great help if he had the support of General Xiao.
The Xin ‘an Prince was born from Noble Consort Liu’s womb. He understood what she meant by blinking her eyes.
“Mother, don’t think about it. 1 will never marry Lady Xiao.”Since outsiders were not around, he resumed his private address. “Not to mention that she’s older than me, but she’s so fierce. When her temper flared up, I was afraid that she would attack me.”
“Are the guards around you useless?”Noble Consort Liu rolled her eyes at her son.” You don’t know. Recently, your father has been increasingly dissatisfied with the Crown Prince. This is a good opportunity.” If you get the help of Great General Xiao, won’t your position be more secure?”
This was the first time the mother and son had talked about such a secret issue openly.
Prince Xin ‘an had a headache. If he wanted to marry Lady Xiao, he would have to send another team to guard her 24 hours a day?
“Mother, why don’t you take a look at the background of that Great General Xiao? He still wants to squeeze his way into the aristocratic families ‘circle. If we want to…He still had to ally with the aristocratic families. Only with their support would it count. Didn’t you see that the Great Ancestor had to win over the aristocratic families to win over the country? Even though Imperial Father was suppressing them, many things still depended on them. At most, they would give them a slap or a sweet date. Otherwise, the foundation of the country would be shaken.”
Imperial Concubine Liu’s wavering heart wavered again when she heard Prince Xin ‘an’s words.
“Then why don’t you choose from the aristocratic families?”
“It’s true that Great General Xiao holds military power, but he’s from a humble family. Mother didn’t see that the Empress had chosen the He family of Lujiang as the Crown Prince’s Consort?”
Imperial Concubine Liu pursed her lips.” She wishes. Unfortunately, Minister He of the eldest branch died early. With his death, his power fell to someone else. It’s the second branch that benefits.” However, it’s also because your aunt is capable. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t be able to support that family. You haven’t seen how arrogant Mrs. Xi was.
“This time, we have to aim for a long-lived family.”Prince Xin ‘an calculated,” The Wang Clan and the Empress’ lineage will never help us. The Xie Clan has a Xie Xian who is very important in front of Father. However, he has offended many aristocratic families along with Father. The reputation of the Xie family has caused the reputation of the Roam to fall into disarray. It’s no longer the same as before…”
Noble Consort Liu understood and nodded.
“Little Six, Big Brother, you look deeper and farther than your mother.””
The Xin ‘an King laughed. He had finally pulled her mother out of the pit of Lady Xiao.
Could he say that as long as it wasn’t Lady Xiao, he would be happy to marry any noble girl from any aristocratic family.
There was no harm without comparison. Any delicate and tender little lady was better than Big Lady Xiao. That fellow alone had sent Wang Liulang flying. He had single-handedly brought a maid to capture Yuan Chen’s female prostitute. He was a heroine among women and a rare man. If he really married Wang Liulang, he was afraid that he would doubt his life every day. He was afraid that he would not be able to see the sun tomorrow!
If he wanted to sit on that dragon throne, he would have to be alive to sit on it, right?
Moreover, he did not think that she was the most beautiful woman in Jiankang. Her eyes were too big, her nose bridge was too high, and her facial features were too perfect. He did not think that she was pleasing to the eye.
She wasn’t even as good as the county head of Xingping County beside her. That was the real young lady, beautiful and delicate..
