Chapter 335: Ruthless and Heartless

Translator: 549690339

The princess of Xuancheng and the future sister-in-law duo had never gotten along so well before. Their first meeting had been through gaming, and this time, they had a good relationship as well.

Xie Wan was Xiao Baoxin’s sister-in-law. The few of them were not so harmonious when they were together.

Although Xie Wan loved reading and was not very fascinated by games, she grew up in an aristocratic family. Which one of them did not play chess, zither, calligraphy, and painting since they were young? They played all kinds of games. It was also when the flowers bloomed in spring, so a few people gathered together and started fighting with the flowers and plants.

Xiao Baoxin nibbled on the various fruits that Princess Xuancheng had prepared earlier and watched from the sidelines. She was good at beating people up, but she really couldn’t play games. No matter how many rounds she played, she would lose.

Losing to the point where he doubted his life.

However, the other three obviously let her go and dragged her out.

It wasn’t until almost noon that the Empress Dowager sent a palace maid over to invite them over. At that time, Xiao Baoxin had basically lost everything he could lose. He didn’t wear much hairpin jewelry to begin with, and after playing for two hours, he was already struck by the three families.

In the end, Xie Wan’s aunt could not stand it anymore and borrowed two golden hairpins for her to insert back to decorate the facade.

Xiao Baoxin was speechless. He asked her to leave it until she left the palace. How could she owe him and run away?

The women were ruthless.

“Big lady, don’t go out and play with others in the future.”Princess Xuancheng persuaded him nicely, and she smiled so widely that her teeth could not be seen. Only a player like Xiao Baoxin could lose his underwear.

She did not lack money, but she lacked confidence.

He couldn’t beat Xiao Baoxin in a fight, but he didn’t expect Xiao Baoxin to be so bad at playing.

Xiao Baoxin,”Can you blame her?”

She had grown up like this since she was young, and she was destined to be ostracized wherever she went. She wasn’t someone who wanted to be wronged. If you didn’t pay attention to her, she wouldn’t be bothered to pay attention to you. You provoked me…Looking for a beating?

Therefore, none of them could play together.

To her, beating people up was a game since she was young.

“I’m good at pitch-pot, but you guys don’t play it!”

“Don’t let the Empress Dowager wait too long. Let’s go quickly.””The problem is that you’re too good at it.

Xiao Baoxin:

Girls are extroverted!

Princess Xuancheng and Xiao Ning walked out hand in hand. After all, it was her aunt who was considerate and waited for her at the back.”It’s okay, sister-in-law. Our Xie family is rich, so we don’t need this much.”

Xiao Baoxin was speechless for a moment. Had her pregnancy affected her intelligence?

Why was he being choked by the three little girls so frequently that he couldn’t speak?

The palace maid who had watched the entire scene from the side was so happy that she almost couldn’t make a sound. To be able to watch the famous and invincible Madam Xiao suffer the entire game, her life was complete. It couldn’t be any happier.

“I’m going easy on you.” Xiao Baoxin said solemnly.

” Sister-in-law is about to fly into a rage out of humiliation. It’s better to shut your mouth.’

Xie Wan expressed that winning Sister-in-law’s jewelry was not her goal, but the feeling of crushing her all the way was too satisfying. After all, it was rare to find someone who could crush Sikong Xiao’s eldest daughter, Minister Xie’s beloved wife.

Xiao Baoxin pretended not to hear these thoughts.

The main thing was that there was nothing he could do even if he couldn’t hear it. If he was angry, why would he be angry? Was it worth it to lose that little bit of jewelry? People would say that he couldn’t afford to lose. However, his sister-in-law’s inner voice was really annoying. She gritted her teeth, but unfortunately, there was nothing she could do.

Xie Wan protected Xiao Baoxin all the way. She wished that a palace maid would immediately raise her vigilance when she came within ten feet of him, afraid that she would bump into Xiao Baoxin.

Hence, Xiao Baoxin switched seamlessly between ‘sister-in-law is so annoying’ and ‘sister-in-law is so considerate.’

Xiao Baoxin and the others were led to Taiji Palace.

Even though Empress Dowager Pan claimed to be thrifty and only invited a few families that she could chat with to celebrate her birthday, with Emperor Yu Heng’s intentional or unintentional intervention, she still invited three or four more families this year than in previous years. In this way, Xian Yang Hall seemed to be a little stingy.

Although they were both halls, Taiji Hall was the main hall of Jiankang Palace. It was divided into two halls, the east and west. The west hall was where the emperor usually lived, while the east hall was where he usually attended to government affairs and banquets.

Empress Dowager Pan’s birthday banquet was held in Taiji Palace, so it was obvious that Emperor Yu Heng was going to attend.

As expected, Xiao Baoxin and his group were led into the East Hall by the palace maids. Emperor Yu Heng had already taken the seat of honor, Empress Dowager Pan sat in the middle, and Emperor Yu Heng and Empress Wang sat on the left and right.

Further down was the Crown Prince’s family. The Prince of Jiangxia and the Prince of Huaiyang were also there. The Prince of Xin ‘an and the other princes were behind them. The Princess of Xuancheng and the Princess of Lujiang were seated next. In the end, Pan Shuo was added. He was Empress Dowager Pan’s favorite. Even the Emperor could not do anything about it.

The Emperor had brought in so many people, so there was no reason for Empress Dowager Pan to not allow any of them.

Opposite the Crown Prince were the families of the officials, led by Mother Xie. However, they did not sit together and were distinguished by seniority. The front row was filled with elders, and Xiao Baoxin was seated at the top of the second row.

It was not that she was outstanding, but her husband was good. He had sat in the position of minister at a young age, and she followed suit. She was not allowed to keep a low profile even if she wanted to.

It was a pity that he couldn’t lose his manners in front of the emperor. Even if there were delicious dishes in front of him, he didn’t dare to eat them, afraid of disturbing the appetite of the people in the hall.

Emperor Yu Heng’s face was full of smiles as he chatted and laughed with the empress dowager and empress dowager, completely oblivious to the tense atmosphere in the court. Empress Wang also cooperated flawlessly. She was smiling, just like a model husband and wife.

On the other hand, the Crown Prince was a little laissez-faire. He was absent-minded the entire time, and no one knew what he was thinking. Emperor Epsilon called out twice, but there was no response. At that time, the Crown Princess was frightened and gently pushed the Crown Prince under the table.

Although everyone at the banquet tried their best to pretend that they did not see anything, their voices had all quieted down in the end, and they could not pretend to be satisfied.

“Crown Prince, did you have a good rest last night?”Empress Wang was still smiling, but anyone could see that the smile did not reach her eyes. “I know you’re filial and personally copied Buddhist scriptures for the Empress Dowager, but you’re also the same. Why don’t you cherish yourself? Look at your eyes, they’re green.”

Emperor Yu Heng sneered. Wasn’t it because he had drunk too much all night and didn’t wake up in the morning? He drank heavily every day, and no one was more familiar with his mental state than him.

Empress Wang would cover it up, but this excuse was not easy to find.

Today was the Empress Dowager’s birthday, so he copied the scriptures late yesterday. Was he doing it intentionally or was he rushing to do it at the last minute?

Seeing that it was his own mother’s birthday, he did not want to spoil his mood. Otherwise, he would retort to Empress Wang no matter what. Children were spoiled like this.

“That’s right, Crown Prince. You can’t abuse your body just because you’re young. You have to take good care of yourself in the future.”Empress Dowager Pan doted on her children and grandchildren, especially since he had personally raised the Crown Prince by her side for two years. He was different from others.

Everyone said that her youngest son was her eldest grandson. Wasn’t the Crown Prince her eldest grandson?

It would have been better if Empress Dowager Pan hadn’t said anything, but as soon as the words left his mouth, the crown prince’s eyes suddenly reddened. He wanted to say something but couldn’t say it for a long time. Just as he opened his mouth again, Emperor Yuheng was unhappy.

“Crown Prince, today is the Empress Dowager’s birthday. If you know how to say it, say something auspicious. If you don’t know how to say it, just sit.”

This was not giving the Crown Prince any face.

Empress Wang’s expression changed..
