Chapter 315: Non-Sticky Wok

Emperor Yu Heng’s intention was undoubtedly to acknowledge Xiao Ning and make her the princess consort of Xin ‘an. The daughter of a minister would be rewarded, but he had never heard of anyone being rewarded.
She even brought him back to cook for her. She was so considerate.
Empress Dowager Pan wouldn’t believe it if she said that she didn’t have any intention of making her her her daughter-in-law.
She just didn’t understand. Was it because she didn’t make herself clear, or was it because her son had such low expectations for his grandson’s wife?
“The emperor’s meaning?”
Empress Dowager Pan hesitated and said,”Are you sure about this Lady Xiao?” Do you want to see it for yourself? Don’t listen to us. I say it’s ugly, and Granny Zhao says it’s dignified. That’s a matter of opinion. Have you seen anyone say that Madam Xiao isn’t good-looking? No matter how much they dislike her, they won’t say such things that go against their hearts.”
“Don’t regret it in the future.”
Granny Zhao was speechless. She wasn’t the one who said those words! It was the Xin ‘an Prince who had admitted it himself. She was just repeating it. Shuai Guo shouldn’t be shirked like this.
However, her guess was right. It really was this Lady Xiao.
Her words were not wrong. Looking at how the Emperor cherished his son and was jumping around to change the Crown Prince, the future would be the Xin ‘an King’s world. It would not be a loss for her to sell it early.
Even if the Empress Dowager brought her out, she would feel like she was being attacked for no reason. What did the Emperor choosing Lady Xiao have to do with her?
As expected, Emperor Yu Heng smiled.
“No need. It’s mainly Liu ‘er. It’s fine as long as he takes a fancy to him. After all, he’ll be the one living in the future.”
“The child is young and insensible.” Empress Dowager Pan clicked her tongue.”
“No matter how beautiful the skin is, it can’t be compared to an interesting soul.”Emperor Yu Heng was open-minded. He knew that his son loved to be beautiful, but he still chose Lady Xiao. This meant that he could at least distinguish between the two.
This was the best choice.
If he wanted beauty, he could just choose a few more beautiful concubines.
The corners of Empress Dowager Pan’s mouth twitched. She was so close that she almost spat on the Emperor’s face.
Anyone could say this, but he still had the face to say it? Which one of his harem’s favorite concubines wasn’t good-looking? Now, he had the cheek to say that they had interesting souls. If you didn’t look at their faces first, how would you be interested in knowing if their souls were interesting?
“Then 1 don’t care. In any case, you two can decide on your own matters.”Empress Dowager Pan knew that her son had many twists and turns in his stomach, so she did not interfere. She was happy to be a free king and be pampered by her son and the concubines in the harem. She also had grandchildren to please her, so she couldn’t take it anymore and got involved in the matters of the younger generation. It was enough.
Emperor Yu Heng smiled.” Then I’ll have to trouble Mother to choose two palace maids to give Liu ‘er some enlightenment. He’s not young anymore. It’s not good for him to not know anything about marriage.”
Was it her turn?
Empress Dowager Pan looked at the Emperor and couldn’t hold it in for a long time. She really liked the Empress. She was generous and decent, well-educated and filial to her mother-in-law.
“It’s you and the Empress. What’s going on recently? I don’t think you’re as beautiful as before. The Empress isn’t as flirtatious and cheap as those in the harem… Those flirtatious ones were dignified, filial, and amiable. They managed the harem in an orderly manner. If Noble Consort Liu goes, then so be it. You’re upset, but there’s really no need to go against the Empress. In the past, it was Noble Consort Liu who was always finding fault, but the Empress had always endured it on account of you-”
“Mother, 1 know.” Emperor Epsilon interrupted her.” What about the palace maids?”
“Alright, 1’11 send her over tomorrow.”Empress Dowager Pan said unhappily. The Emperor meant that he did not want to continue the discussion.
“Son, go and see Little Shiqi.” Emperor Yu Heng smiled as he stood up and left, angering Empress Dowager Pan to death.
“Liu-shi, this scourge, has done a lot of harm to people. Look, even after she died, she still drove a wedge between the husband and wife!”
Granny Zhao didn’t say a word. It was definitely not Noble Consort Liu who could drive a wedge between them. She was already dead.
To sow discord, that was also because the Emperor himself had also divorced in his heart. Who knew what twists and turns there were in this?
The empress dowager did not care about the affairs of the harem. She did not care about anything. She did not know how chaotic and dark it was down there. To be able to be so innocent to this age, it was fortunate that he had a good son. Otherwise, he would have been played to death in the former emperor’s harem.
It was better to live a beautiful life than to be beautiful.
If she wanted to live a beautiful life, she would get less involved and have fewer worries. She would be able to divert her attention in less than an hour. Or rather, her face was as tense as a woman in her thirties. She was really big-hearted.
Sure enough, it hadn’t even been an hour, but Empress Dowager Pan had already turned around and ordered Granny Zhao,”
“Go and pick a few palace maids with good colors and send them to Xin ‘an Prince’s mansion tonight. Pick four and let me look at them. Then, 1 will pick two more and send them over. He had just started eating meat, so he didn’t want Liu ‘er to be mesmerized.”
“Yes.” Granny Zhao agreed. What did she say?
###
Without waiting for Xiao Baoxin duo to leave the palace, this marriage was basically considered set.
Xiao Ning’s stoic face didn’t reveal anything, but the princess of Xuancheng was overjoyed. After playing for half a day, she felt that she and Xiao Ning were on good terms. Although she didn’t know Kung Fu, she was good at all kinds of games, such as pitch-pot, fighting flowers and grass, and even playing dice. She didn’t have to worry about not having enough fun with her.
Princess Xuancheng was so excited that she forgot that she had a pregnant woman beside her. She almost stabbed Xiao Ning in the hand and squeezed out blood to become sworn brothers.
She was still thinking that if she could marry her brother and become her sister-in-law, wouldn’t it be a little messy to become godsisters?
As expected, before they had even dispersed, Emperor Yu Heng had already issued his decree.
If they didn’t understand what this meant, they would have to go back to the furnace and remake it. There was no such thing as being so troublesome.
“.. Sister Xiao, I’m really happy that you can marry my brother and be my sister-in-law. I like you so much. We must come and go often in the future. Madam Xiao is pregnant now, so it’s not convenient for her to always torment her. In the future, if 1 miss sister, I’ll look for you, or you can come to the palace to accompany me.”
Xiao Baoxin felt like he was facing a heartless man who liked the new and missed the old.
However, although the Emperor had revealed this meaning, did Princess Xuancheng need to say it so clearly?
Xiao Ning was still a young lady, so he should save her some face. Didn’t he see that her face was so stiff that her mouth was twitching?
Xiao Ning blushed and didn’t dare to answer.
Nothing was right. Everything was wrong. However, she was really happy that the emperor had rewarded a chef who cooked Shu dishes. He was indeed a wise emperor who was anxious and thought of what others thought.
She wasn’t very keen on getting married. She would have to get married sooner or later. It didn’t matter who she married. She might as well marry someone with a good color. At least, she would look good.
The Xin ‘an Prince was handsome and had a high status. It was enough..
