It was Noble Consort Liu’s funeral, so who would think that Emperor Yu Heng wanted to change the Crown Prince at this time?
The answer was obvious.
“It is true that 1 have just come out of the palace, but 1 have just returned from Kuaiji. 1 have yet to figure out the changes in the court. I am afraid I cannot answer Uncle’s question.” Second Uncle was the son of a concubine in the Crown Prince’s family. If there was any movement in the palace, he should be the first to know.”
In other words, you should ask Second Brother Xie.
Second Master Xie was meticulous and shrewd. It was likely that the Eastern Palace was suspicious of the dark spirits. He felt that the wind was not right, so he encouraged Third Master Xie to jump out and ask him, afraid that he had bet on the wrong treasure.
After all, Third Master Xie was a good spear. It had always been Second Master Xie’s doing behind his back, and Third Master Xie would jump up and down.
“If your second uncle knew, I wouldn’t have asked you.”Chancellor Xie said in a deep voice,” We are a family. Regarding the matter of the Crown Prince, you have to stand in the right position and think together…” Use your strength in one place.”
Second Master Xie was the Crown Prince’s subordinate. Once the Crown Prince became the Emperor, he would be the Emperor’s close minister. He had made up his mind to stand on the Crown Prince’s side and take the initiative.
Xie Xian did not comment.” Third Uncle, don’t worry.”
Agree or not? Rebuttal? There was no such thing.
He had never wanted to argue with others. No one was a fool and they all had their own standpoints. However, there was really no need to tell others everything, especially when Second Master Xie was stubborn and Third Master Xie was self-righteous.
Disagreement was disobedience, and disagreement was nonsense. He would teach you a new life in minutes.
Third Master Xie was obviously not satisfied with Xie Xian’s answer. His eyebrows were about to be squeezed together. This was a major matter of the Xie family, but Xie Xian was so light and insincere.
Just as he was about to say a few words, he saw He Xiang, the head maid in Mother Xie’s room, slowly walk forward. She looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old and had a smile on her face.”Chancellor hasn’t left yet?”
She turned to Xie Xian and said,” Old Furen heard Langjun coming when she was in the house. She waited for a long time but you didn’t come. She was anxious and urged me to come out to welcome you.” It’s cold outside. Don’t catch a cold.”
He Xiang was Mother Xie’s favorite and had long been given to the butler’s third son. However, the old madam was reluctant to let go and still kept her by her side. The old madam had even prepared a dowry, which was more than what ordinary families gave their daughters when they married.
Third Master Xie snorted twice. He knew that this was his mother’s reminder. If he continued to chat with his grandson and got cold, his mother would not just send a maid out to beat him up. She would have to do it herself. She was so biased.
In the past, her eldest brother did not have the strength to treat Xie Xian like his eyeball. If anyone tired her eyeball and hurt it, she would dig it out and step on it like a bubble.
“After you accompany the old madam, you have time to go to the third room.”Third Master Xie lowered his voice,” We have to have a good chat about the Xiao Family’s marriage. We can’t let Old Furen and your mother do whatever they want…”
“Tomorrow, I’ll go see Third Uncle.””
He just couldn’t understand what Third Master Xie was thinking, to think that he would go with them.
With knees want also know if not through his permission, old madam and Aniang is absolutely not privately give him set marriage, Aniang and Xiao big madam although without his permission, but Aniang know he admires Xiao big madam, copy his background.
He knew that Mother Xie and Lady Yuan wanted to protect him, but after he returned, whether it was the outside world or the family, he should be the one to fight against all the opposition.
After bidding farewell to Third Master Xie, Xie Xian entered the house and felt a wave of warmth.
Mother Xie’s room was covered with ground pepper and mud. The walls were covered with a brocade carpet, and the floor was covered with a blanket from the Western Regions. The entire room was warm. Until now, Xie Xian felt as if he had returned home.
The grandfather and grandson both had endless things to say, but when they really met, they were speechless.
“.. It was unfilial of his grandson to let his grandmother worry about him.”Xie Xian knelt on the ground with a thud. Only he knew how agitated he was.
As a member of an aristocratic family, he might not have been very clear when he was young, but ever since Xie Shizhong passed away and he became an official, he was truly in the whirlpool of power. He finally knew what kind of pressure he had to endure when he married Lady Xiao.
From the marriage with the Xiao Family, to the marriage proposal, to the betrothal gifts, and to the fact that Xie Xiao’s marriage was established at lightning speed, Mother Xie and Lady Yuan did everything they could. Just to fulfill his wish.
“From now on, Grandmother only needs to enjoy her old age and leave everything to your grandson.”he said. “I’ll take care of everything.”

Xiao Baoxin knew that Xie Xian had already returned to Jiankang two days later. She had unexpectedly received a birthday gift from Xie Xian. It was a jade pendant of Flowing Cloud Hundred Blessings, a milky white suet jade. The cloud pattern was shaped like Ruyi, while the bat took the meaning of ■universal blessing’ which meant Ruyi or endless happiness.
Actually, it didn’t matter what she thought. Xie Xian’s gift to her was an act that could be recorded in history.
The jade pendant was not something that could be given casually. If it was seen by others, it would be a token of love. If it was not done well, it would be a secret exchange.
Of course, they were already engaged.
Xiao Baoxin held the jade pendant of the Flowing Cloud Hundred Blessings in his hand, and the corners of his lips had never drooped. Was he expressing his feelings to her and acknowledging this marriage?
In fact, Xiao Baoxin’s birthday had passed long ago. Because it coincided with the death of Imperial Concubine Liu, there was no big banquet in the manor. There was not even a banquet. The family sat together and ate a sumptuous dinner.
Although Xie Xian’s gift was late, it was delivered to Xiao Baoxin’s heart.
Ever since the news of the marriage between the Xie and Xiao families spread, the Xie family had never stopped making trouble. They jumped up and down, and from time to time, they released the news that they refused to acknowledge the marriage of the Xiao family. If it wasn’t for Sikong Xiao’s face for Mother Xie, he would have beaten them up.
It wasn’t until Noble Consort Liu died that the Xie family finally stopped. They had to stop. Emperor Epsilon was still in a state of anger, and the Crown Prince didn’t show enough grief when Noble Consort Liu died. The Emperor found fault with him again and again, saying that the Crown Prince was unfilial.
The Crown Prince could also be filial. If she said that she was a noble consort, then she was just a concubine. If the Crown Prince dared to be filial, would she dare to accept it?
Sikong Xiao knew the future situation and naturally wouldn’t stand on the Crown Prince’s side. However, he had to say something fair. This was purely venting his anger.
However, death was the most important thing, and it was the emperor’s heart. Sikong Xiao would only have his own thoughts. Although he was a martial arts practitioner, he knew that he could not touch a tiger’s butt.
Without the Xie family’s opposition, the Xiao family finally had peace in front of them.
However, what was out of Xiao Baoxin’s expectations was that Emperor Yu Heng and Sikong Xiao actually started to talk about Xiao Baoshu’s marriage. Although they said they were talking, they were actually deciding on Xiao Baoshu to marry Princess Xuancheng.
Xiao Baoshu did not have any objections. Of course, it was useless even if he had objections. Even if he dared to challenge Sikong Xiao, he would not dare to challenge the Emperor.
Moreover, he was happy to receive a prince consort who fell out of nowhere.
Of course, he did not have a position yet. He would have to wait until he married the princess of Xuancheng before that position would be his, but that was enough. In his words, it was just right for him. His biggest dream was to eat and wait for death..
