Princess is stubborn

The crown prince also knew about Xu Yuyao going out of the city to offer incense today, but he never expected that after returning home from the court, he would hear such news——

The princess met Dengtuzi and killed her, but was sued by Dengtuzi's parents!How unreasonable!

Hearing this news, the crown prince rushed towards the yamen with the guards of the house.

"The next official sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Excuse me." The crown prince dismissed the magistrate in a hurry, and immediately went to Xu Yuyao's body to ask, "Are you all right? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Xu Yuyao immediately stretched out her red wrist to complain: "Yes! Third brother, look!"

"Where is that beast's corpse?!" The prince immediately became angry.

Since childhood, when did the baby they held in their palms suffer such an injury?It's fine for Xu Yuyao to be hurt by running and jumping. Looking at the entire palace, who would dare not hurt her with eyes?

Xu Yuyao pointed to the white cloth covering the side and said, "I'm so dead, what does the third brother want to do?"

"Offend the royal family, and expose the corpse to the wilderness!"

"Exposing corpses in the wilderness?" Xu Yu heard the rumors and asked, "The third brother didn't offend the royal family, but offended other women. Can you also expose corpses in the wilderness?"

"I didn't have such a rule in the law." The prince shook his head, looked at the red wrist, and felt distressed, "Go, let the county magistrate judge this place, and you go back with me to get the medicine first. If it is for your sister-in-law Seeing this injury, she will cry again in distress."

"I won't go back." Xu Yuyao refused, "I haven't gotten an answer yet."

"What answer?" The prince looked around the hall, wanting to see who would dare not reply to His Highness the Princess.

Xu Yuyao told the whole story of suing the officials, and then asked the crown prince: "They didn't speak, and it happened that the third brother came. Third brother, tell me, why is it not the prisoner who ruined her reputation, but the victimized woman?"

This question also stopped the prince.

Yeah, why?

It seems that since childhood, his education has said so.Both the wife and the people around her are saying that a woman's reputation is greater than the sky.Therefore, when I heard that Xu Yuyao almost encountered such a thing today, half of my anxiety was for reputation.

But no one has ever thought about it, why?

Why are the crimes of theft, murder, and treason all discredited by criminals, but it is the victim who bears the blame for the crime of lust?

Seeing that the crown prince didn't speak, Xu Yuyao was a little disappointed: "Third Brother also thinks, it's better for a woman to bear these burdens?"

"No, third brother didn't mean that." Seeing Xu Yuyao's disappointed eyes, the prince quickly explained, "It's just that no one has ever thought about this question, and everyone can't give you an answer for a while. Why don't you go home with third brother first, let's go slowly." Slow to discuss this issue?"

"No." Xu Yuyao shook his head, "When I think that there are so many girls who have encountered this kind of thing, but they dare not report to the officials because of their shitty reputation, I get angry. I won't leave, I want Wait, when will the girl who was harmed by this apprentice come to report to the officials, and then go back to the palace!"

Hearing this, the county magistrate immediately looked at the prince for help: "Your Highness, look at this..."

"Yu Yao, Yao'er, stop messing around, don't you still want to take Xie Bai to accompany your mother to Suizhou?"

"I don't think it's nonsense!" Xu Yuyao said, "Today, I am a princess, with my guards, and I can kill this beast according to the law, but there are so many women in the world, how many of them can be reincarnated into my royal family? They can't If you were reincarnated into my royal family, you have to suffer such injustices, so you can't justify it?"

Hearing this, Xie Bai's expression was slightly touched.

Xie Bai and Xu Yuyao have known each other since they were young, and they think they know Xu Yuyao better than others.

She is headstrong, the emperor can't force her to do anything she doesn't want to do; she is stubborn, she likes to tease her master and disturb the classroom when she is in school; the water...

However, Xu Yuyao's words and words today subverted Xie Bai's impression of her.

The prince did not expect that Xu Yuyao, who has always been the least fond of reading, could say such words, and he was a little impressed.

Xu Yuyao said again: "In the old days, there were always people in the palace who disciplined me. As a princess of a country, I should be a model for women in the world. At that time, I didn't care about it. Now, I understand that I really do. You should set an example for women in the world! Therefore, I will sue this beast today."

"Isn't the trial already over?" the prince asked the county magistrate's timid voice.

"No, what was just tried was the false accusation of the beast's parents against me. Next, I will sue the beast and the beast's parents!"

Both Xie Bai and the crown prince knew that as long as Xu Yuyao was sure of something, no one would be able to persuade her until it was done, and there was nothing she could do about it now.

The prince had no choice but to wink and let the county magistrate take over the case first.

"However, it's almost noon, why don't we all have lunch first and then come back?"

It's fine if the prince doesn't say that, but when the prince said that, Xu Yuyao felt hungry: "I want to eat Yuexinju's roast chicken!"

"Okay, let's go then?" The prince thought, as long as he coaxed the people away, he would send someone to the county magistrate to give some instructions and settle the case beautifully.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yuyao said: "Why do you have to go? I asked someone to buy it and send it. I said that I will not leave until other women dare to report to the official. The third brother will not think that he can persuade me." Bar?"

The prince had no choice but to look at Xie Bai at the side: "Ziqing, why don't you help Xiao Wang persuade her?"

Xie Bai shook his head: "Since His Highness can't persuade you, it's even more impossible for you to be an official."

The prince was about to sigh, when he heard Xu Yuyao dissatisfied: "You haven't even persuaded me, how do you know that you can't persuade me?"

"The princess has always had her own opinions. Normally, Xie Bai might not be able to persuade the princess. What's more, Xie Bai knows that today she has said a lot of things that made the princess unhappy. At this time, the princess must be unwilling to listen to more."

"You know it." Xu Yuyao said so, feeling a little better.

At the very least, Xie Bai knew that he didn't like to hear those things, unlike this stupid official who thought he was flattering himself.Stupid!

The completely hopeless prince couldn't starve his own baby, so he had to send someone to ride a horse to Yuexinju to buy roast chicken.

The county magistrate invited people to the back hall in shock and fear—as for the animal family, they were temporarily guarded by the yamen servants, and they were provided with food and drink.

Seeing that the hall was closed, the onlookers also went back to their respective houses for dinner, but before leaving, they couldn't help asking "whether you will be promoted to the hall after noon".

The county magistrate doesn't know if he will be promoted after noon, but he knows how difficult this "noon" is.

Yuexinju's roast chicken is very fragrant, and Yiranju's fish soup is also very fragrant, so fragrant that it makes the clear soup for lunch even more tasteless.

The prince asked someone to deliver the meal and left. Before leaving, he called Xie Bai aside: "This king has heard about today's incident, and it happened because of you. This king will go to the palace. , you have to protect Yao'er. No matter what you think in your heart, your marriage with Yao'er was bestowed by the golden words of your father, and Yao'er will be your wife."

Xie Bai had no choice but to agree.However, even if the crown prince doesn't say anything, Xie Bai still intends to stay here with Xu Yuyao.

There are still many questions in her mind that have not been solved.

Xu Yuyao didn't care who was going where, she was determined to stay.The roast chicken was delivered quickly, and the skin was still crispy; the fish soup was also delivered quickly, but it was very steady and there was no leakage.

When Xie Bai came back after talking with the prince, half of the roast chicken was missing.

Xie Bai was sitting opposite Xu Yuyao, and was about to move his chopsticks when a chicken leg landed on the plate in front of him.

Xie Bai looked up at her, just in time to meet Xu Yuyao's gaze.

"For your cleverness, I reward you."

"Thank you princess."

"Xie Bai." Xu Yuyao put down his chopsticks when he was full, and watched Xie Bai eat.

When called by her, Xie Bai put down his chopsticks: "What is the princess' order?"

"Talk while eating." Seeing that Xie Bai picked up the chopsticks again, Xu Yuyao asked, holding his chin, "Is there something wrong with what I said today?"

"Is the princess asking in the opinion of the people of the world, or in the opinion of the minister?"

"yours."

"In my opinion, what the princess said today is resounding." These words came from Xie Bai's heart.

She is a woman, and she has disguised herself as a man for sixteen years. Although all the people she meets are from scholarly families, there are also some playboys among the people she knows.She is used to seeing men's flirtatiousness outside, and she has also seen a lot of their disdain for women during banquets.

Over time, it becomes numb.

Therefore, Xu Yuyao's words fell in her ears today, and it was deafening.

Xu Yuyao happily picked up the bowl, filled a bowl of fish soup, and pushed it in front of Xie Bai.

Xie Bai thanked him for taking it, and then Xu Yuyao spoke again.

"Since you're so smart, you don't have to wait until the day you get married to figure out another question about me."

Xie Bai held the bowl for a while, but didn't answer.

This reaction made Xu Yuyao unhappy again: "Xie Bai, I once thought about locking you in the princess mansion with a gold chain and raising you for the rest of my life."

Xie Bai's heart suddenly rose, for fear that she would really do this.

"But guess why Bengong gave up on this idea."

"I don't know."

"I don't know? Then think about it. Think about it together with that question." Xu Yuyao laughed and said, "If you can't figure it out, I will really go and tie a gold chain. After you get married, you can only be locked in the princess mansion. Not allowed to go anywhere."

After speaking, Xu Yuyao got up and left.

Looking at her back, Xie Bai felt that the chicken legs and fish soup in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand catties.
