Chapter 397: Chapter 397-Giving a Proposition
Translator: 549690339
Although Emperor Yong Ping was only fourteen years old, his looks had always been on point. He was even more handsome than Emperor Yu Heng. He was the most handsome person in the Song royal family.
Needless to say, Xie Xian had always been the most handsome person in Jiankang City.
It was because he had always been weak and his face was always unhealthy white that he had once led the aesthetic values of Jiankang City. What Yuan Chen was just a judge of character, applying the powder as if it was white flour? Who knew how many scholars would imitate Xie Xian’s morbid state and think that they were beautiful?
The two of them were pleasing to the eyes when they stood together.
However, he couldn’t think too much about it.
Thinking about it carefully, I’m very afraid.
King Jiang Xia had been an elder for several dynasties. He had lived a good life no matter which emperor was in power. The reason was that his body was weak. He could not be bothered to care about things that did not concern him. Not to mention confirming it with Emperor Yong Ping in person, he was tired of living.
He could tell that the Emperor’s words meant that he wanted him to investigate Xie Xian.
As an emperor, to live to this extent…
There was nothing much to say. Wars were happening frequently, and the new Emperor still relied on the Xie and Xiao Families to ascend to the throne. In addition, Xie Xianzhu was inside and Si Kongzhu was outside. If he were the Emperor, he wouldn’t dare to offend the Xie and Xiao Families, at least for now.
Once Princess Anji’s matter was not handled properly, Sikong Xiao would not rebel, but he would definitely have a knot in his heart.
It was not worth it for Princess Anji.
King Jiang Xia looked left and right, but he really couldn’t see the reason why Emperor Yong Ping didn’t throw Princess Anji out. It was only because the Eldest Princess was in the middle that the royal family and the Xie and Xiao families ‘schemes became even more obvious.
When they left the palace, it was already dark and it was drizzling.
King Jiang Xia could not help but shake his head and sigh. He did not know if it was for himself or Liang.
The matter of Princess Anji was sooner or later. The sooner it was done, the sooner it would be done. He left the palace and went straight to the Xie residence.
At this moment, Xie Xian and Xiao Baoxin were drinking mutton soup around the stove. Their faces were red from drinking, and they were feeling very happy.
Xie Xian brought back Xiao Baoshu’s letter from the Xie family’s men of sacrifice and wrote one for each of Xiao Baoxin and Madam Xie.
Xiao Baoxin only read what was written for himself. There was not much content. It was basically bragging about how brave he was, how many enemies he had killed on the battlefield, and how he had even obtained the title of general.
He wrote two pages in total. One and a half pages were devoted to his ‘great feats’ in Jingzhou. The remaining half page was to teach her how to take good care of her child. He thanked her for her perseverance in educating him with a big stick. If she did not beat and scold him at every turn, in his words,’Xiao Baoshu would not be who he is today.’
It could be considered as thanking her. Xiao Baoxin’s gratitude was somewhat inexplicable.
She couldn’t tell if Xiao Baoshu was really thanking her or teasing her.
However, she was certain that if Xiao Baoshu still dared to say that in front of her, he would definitely be beaten up. However, since they were far away, he had to put aside the grievances between the siblings and listen to them.
There would be a day when they would meet again in the future.
When Xiao Baoxin received his little brother’s letter, he felt happy in his heart.
In addition to the handsome man beside her, she even ate half an extra Hu biscuit.
Speaking of Xiao Baoshu, Sikong Xiao was inevitably mentioned.””.. His father-in-law was brave and good at fighting. He had killed the rebel general Lu You under his horse and had already beaten the rebel army into a corner.” “If I didn’t have a body, I would definitely drink to my heart’s content.”Xiao Baoxin beamed as he listened.
Xie Xian was helpless.”
Before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Baoxin couldn’t take it anymore and rubbed his stomach. “I can’t eat anymore. Haven’t you noticed that I’ve put on a lot of weight recently?”She was worried. She had never been so fat before. She was panting from walking too much.
She was afraid that she would continue to be like this after giving birth. If she couldn’t slim down, she would be finished. She was proud of her curvy figure. “That’s because you’re pregnant.” Xie Xian said seriously. “That’s called round pearls and smooth jade.”
To be honest, she was the most beautiful in his eyes even though she was round and smooth now. She was far more beautiful than anyone else. In his eyes, she was like a beauty in the eye of the beholder. Even her jawline was just right.
Xiao Baoxin expressed that these words did not sound like good words.
Was he admitting that she was indeed fat?
“Do you think…I’ve gained a lot of weight, haven’t I?”
Xie Xian,”This is a proposition.”
“No, I didn’t.” He looked confused.” Why would you think that? If you cover your belly, who can tell that you’re pregnant? You’re just too burdened with your own thoughts. What do you call this? It’s just right.”
After saying this, regardless of whether Xiao Baoxin believed it or not, he was in a good mood.
She was happy because of his attitude. As a husband, she should have this kind of understanding.
The couple was playing with their fancy guns in the house. They were in high spirits when the bright moon came to report that King Jiang Xia had come. “Him?” At that time, Xiao Baoxin thought of Princess Anji’s matter. Xie Xian had told her that Emperor Yong Ping had let Prince Jiang Xia handle this matter. Yet, he appeared in the Xie Clan here. This meant that there must have been a turn of events.
“What could he be here for?”
Xie Xian stood up with a smile.”
The meaning behind this was self-evident. It must have been the Eldest Princess ‘intervention that caused the situation with Princess Anji to turn around, and this turn of events was clearly not good for the Xie family.
Xiao Baoxin sent him off to the room and didn’t say anything.
Xie Xian had his own plans. For a man like him who had his own plans and strategies, he had his own plans for everything. There was no need for her to criticize him.
Prince Jiang Xia had been busy in the Xu Manor and the Imperial Family. He had not been invited to eat at either place, causing him to come to the Xie Manor with an empty stomach.
King Jiang Xia was usually someone who knew how to enjoy himself. He could smell it the moment he saw Xie Xian’s face. There was also a mutton smell on his body, and there was a slight fishy smell. He felt a sense of imbalance in his heart. It was a pleasure to drink mutton soup in such a heavenly nest.
He was in a very leisurely mood.
“Your Majesty still came to visit at this late hour. I think you have been running around for a day. There was a pot of mutton soup at home, and it was simmering in the kitchen. Would Your Majesty be willing to drink the soup while chatting?”
King Jiang Xia blushed.” Sure.””
She had no choice but to respond. Her stomach was growling. It would be too fake to say that she was not hungry.
Fortunately, the soup was still simmering. After stir-frying a few side dishes, they were placed on the table in the hall.
Xie Xian wasn’t good at drinking, and King Jiang Xia didn’t have much interest in drinking by himself. The two of them ate until they were 70% full. King Jiang Xia put down his chopsticks and expressed his intention to Xie Xian.
He didn’t need to cover up for the Emperor. Xie Xian would definitely be able to tell what the Emperor wanted him to do.
He only told Xie Xian about the Eldest Princess ‘request.
“After all, Madam Xiao is the victim. Although I’m the Imperial Family’s Zong Zheng, I can’t act on my own. I still have to ask for the opinions of the two families. Angie’s actions had definitely violated the law, so she had to be punished.”
Xie Xian nodded.
When he ate with Xiao Baoxin, he was already full. Therefore, even though he was eating with Prince Jiang Xia, he only drank half a bowl of mutton soup for show. He did not eat a single bite of the pancake and simply sat there to accompany him..
