Princess is stubborn

"okay."

Following Xu Yuyao's belated "pardon", Xie Bai retreated a few steps as if facing a scourge, then put the cork back on the medicine bottle, and conveniently put the medicine bottle on the table beside him.

Xu Yuyao opened her eyes, and saw her action, holding her coat in displeasure: "Go out and ask Bell to come in."

"Yes."

When he came out of Xu Yuyao's room and passed by Ling Dang, Xie Bai heard Ling Dang whisper, "I don't know what to do!"

Xie Bai was about to turn around and ask her why she said that about him, when he saw the bell go in and shut the door with a bang.

It turned out that even Xu Yuyao's personal maid didn't think much of her.

That's right, at the beginning, even I didn't expect that the "unlucky concubine son-in-law" who caused a commotion in Beijing would end up on me in the end.

After all, among the young talents of the same age in Beijing, the third grandson of Liu Xiang's family is eight feet tall and has both civil and military skills; He spends a lot of money, and his ancestral family is as rich as an enemy...

No matter which one it is, it seems that they are more suitable to be this consort than myself.

"Still leaving?" Ling Dang went in to make Xu Yuyao's bed and came out, only to find Xie Bai standing at the door in a daze.

"Let's go now." Xie Bai came back to his senses and hurried downstairs.

On the surface, she is still a "man". The empress, Xu Yuyao, and their accompanying maids live on this floor.

After Xie Bai left, Bell entered the room again.

Xu Yuyao asked, "Going away?"

"Let's go," Ling Dang said, "Why did the princess fall in love with this stupid Xie family?"

"She's pretty." Xu Yuyao lay on the bed, letting the bell fan herself.

Ling Dang was puzzled: "What's so good about him? His eyebrows and eyes are too delicate, he doesn't have any masculinity at all, and his stature...is a bit shorter than you, the princess."

"I just like that she has no masculinity." Xu Yuyao said, "There is nothing like Xie Bai among those stinky men."

"But doesn't Your Highness think that a masculine person can better protect His Highness?" Ling Dang said along the way, "A person like Xie Xiaohou, let alone protecting His Highness, according to slaves, His Highness has to come down to protect him. .”

"If the only reason for recruiting a son-in-law is that she will protect people, then why should I recruit a son-in-law? Just ask my father to recruit more guards for me."

Ling Dang felt that there seemed to be something wrong with what her princess said, but she couldn't refute it for a while.

During dinner at night, the queen asked, "Yao'er, where did you go today?"

"I found a jewelry store and ordered some jewelry."

"Oh? But the ones in Jingli make you dissatisfied?"

Xu Yuyao said bluntly: "The style in Beijing is always the same these days, it's not as good as the dexterity in Suizhou."

"Then Yaoer, buy more." The queen said with a smile, "Accompany Wei Niang to swim in the lake tomorrow, do you have time?"

"Of course there is."

Xie Bai watched the mother and daughter chat happily, and ate in a muffled voice, afraid that Xu Yuyao would think of him again if he made a sound.

I don't know if he offended her in the afternoon, but Xu Yuyao didn't answer her and didn't even give her a look until they went back to their rooms after dinner.

While Xie Bai breathed a sigh of relief, he felt an inexplicable and strange feeling in his heart.

Back in the room, Xie Bai took out a book from his bag, sat under the lamp and read it, but couldn't read a word.I don't know why, every word that falls into my eyes will become the appearance of Xu Yuyao sitting there in disheveled clothes this afternoon, letting herself take medicine.

There are many rivers in Suizhou City, and when there are many rivers, there will be more insects on this summer night.The sound of insects drifting in from the open window was even more disturbing.

Putting down the book, Xie Bai simply went out.

Although Suizhou is not as good as the capital city, the street market at night is still very lively.Xie Bai walked aimlessly on the street, looking for human voices, and unknowingly came to a place full of voices.

"Young master, come and play~"

Xie Bai, who was suddenly grabbed by someone's arm, came back to his senses, only to realize that he was actually looking for a human voice and walked to the place of fireworks!

"No..." Xie Bai hurriedly broke the hand that was holding him.

"This young master looks familiar, is it the first time?"

Xie Bai gritted his teeth, exerted all his strength, and finally escaped from the woman's hands: "I... I just arrived in Suizhou, I don't know the place, and I went the wrong way!"

The old bustard saw that he was well dressed, so naturally he was unwilling to let go of this piece of fat that reached his mouth: "Since we have come to our place by mistake, it means that our girls are destined to be with you~ Jing Zhe, Xiaoxue, why don't you come and bring this young man in?" Sit down~”

Xie Bai turned around and wanted to run away, but the reaction of the powerless scholar was nothing compared to the madam who refused to let go of the money.

Seeing the two girls who came out of the room walking towards him, Xie Bai felt like a fish being pressed on a felt board—I would have known that tonight I would be bored to death in the room and would not come out to do anything heart!

Just when Xie Bai thought he couldn't escape, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Master Xie?"

Xie Bai hurriedly turned his head, and saw the guards brought by the queen standing behind him, he hurriedly said, "It's me!"

The guard looked up at the plaque: "Why is the young master in such a place? Make my lady easy to find!"

"I... just came out to relax, but I didn't expect to get lost." Xie Bai took the opportunity to break away from the bustard, and walked quickly to the guard, "Since the lady has found me, let's go back quickly."

"Yes."

The old bustard had seen countless people, so he could see that the servant here was not simple, so he let him go, but a piece of fat ran away, and he was still very upset.

Xie Bai said it was true that he was lost, and he couldn't recognize the way back at the moment, so he had to let the guards lead the way.

Following behind the guards, Xie Bai was a little terrified - Xu Yuyao looked for him, but the guards found him in the field of fireworks. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that he might be dead.

After turning a few intersections, they returned to the inn where they were staying. Looking at the bell standing at the door, Xie Bai knew that Xu Yuyao must still be waiting for him.

"What's this smell on you?" When Xie Bai passed by him, Bell was almost fainted by the scent of powder on his body, "Miss is waiting for you in your room."

"Yes."

Xie Bai walked slowly up to the second floor, but he didn't dare to enter his room until the door was opened from the inside, revealing a pretty face full of displeasure.

"Where did you go?" Xu Yuyao asked.

But there was no need for Xie Bai to answer, Xu Yuyao could smell the strong fragrance.

Ling Dang also ran up from downstairs, and said angrily, "He! He went to the brothel!" He must have asked the guards.

"Xie Bai, you can do it!" Xu Yuyao laughed angrily, reached out and grabbed Xie Bai's collar, and pulled him into the room, "Bing Dang, go and call someone to call back everyone who went out to look for someone Bar."

"Here."

Xu Yuyao threw Xie Bai into the room, and closed the door with a "bang."

"Xie Bai, you are so brave!"

She had nothing to do tonight, so she wanted to come down to chat with Xie Bai, but she didn't expect that Xie Bai's room was pitch black and there was no one there.After asking someone, they only knew that Xie Bai had gone out, but no one knew where Xie Bai had gone.

It was Xie Bai's first visit to Suizhou, and Xu Yuyao was very worried, afraid that she would get lost and not come back, and also afraid that with her small body, if she was robbed, she would never know whether she would be killed or injured...

Therefore, Xu Yuyao hurriedly sent all the guards out to find someone, and threatened, "Even if Suizhou City is overturned, Xie Bai must be brought back intact"!

Unexpectedly, Xie Bai did come back intact, but...

Looking at her expression, Xie Bai knew that she was really too angry this time, so he probed in a low voice: "If I said, I just wanted to relax, but I got lost and bumped over there by mistake, I wonder if His Highness would believe it?"

"I just bumped into that side by mistake?" Xu Yuyao obviously didn't believe it, "If you just took the wrong road, you should know that you went wrong the moment you saw the plaque. Did you find out what was written on it, that’s why you went in?”

"I didn't go in. I just got to the door and was... held back. If Your Highness doesn't believe me, you can ask the guard who brought me back if he found me at the door." Xie Bai also felt that his body was full of makeup. It's hard to believe that you didn't go in, but if you don't have it, you don't have it.

But at the moment Xu Yuyao was in a fit of anger, how could he tell the truth from the fake by himself, he just said coldly: "Xie Bai, Xie Bai, I thought you didn't love women at all, so I avoided you like a snake and a scorpion. I didn't expect that you would run to the place of fireworks!"

Xie Bai lowered his head, not knowing how to defend himself.

Seeing her like this, Xu Yuyao thought she was guilty, sneered, walked in front of her, reached out and pinched her chin and raised her head, letting her look at him.

"Xie Bai, I tell you that in this life, you can only be a member of this palace!"

After speaking, Xu Yuyao kissed her.

As if to vent his anger, Xu Yuyao bit her lips hard, and after tasting a trace of blood, he stuck out his tongue and licked the wound lightly.

Xie Bai was painfully bitten by her, but he didn't know how to react for a while, so he could only stand there, being robbed by her in a daze.

Xu Yuyao kissed for a while, only felt that she was kissing a piece of wood, and immediately let go of her without interest: "When you go to have fun, is it also like this wood?"

"I really just lost my way and didn't go in."

After venting her anger, Xu Yuyao calmed down, thought about it carefully, and felt that Xie Bai was indeed not lying.

With Xie Bai's personality and status, how could he go to the place of fireworks to have fun?

"You really didn't go in?"

Seeing that she had calmed down a bit, Xie Bai said helplessly: "Your Highness knows about my situation, and I don't want anyone to find out about my daughter in my life, so why would I run to the brothel to have fun in the brothel? "

"That is, you'd better remember at all times, if your identity is exposed, there will be no Changping Marquis Mansion anymore!" Xu Yuyao approached her again and said, "The whole world can keep you and the Changping Marquis Mansion Yes, only Ben Gong. Xie Bai, in this life, you can only be a member of Ben Gong."

Xu Yuyao said the same sentence twice tonight, and Xie Bai listened to it twice, but they were in different moods.

"I understand." Xie Bai replied in a low voice.This time, her heart was surprisingly calm.

"Miss, Madam asked Master Xie to go." Bell knocked on the door and said.

Xu Yuyao knew that he had alarmed the empress by making a fuss about looking for Xie Bai just now, but he didn't know if the empress had heard where Xie Bai was found.

"If His Highness is free, I will go first..."

"I'll go with you." Xu Yuyao said.

Xie Bai glanced at her and did not refuse.Because she knew that her refusal would not work.

Going up to the third floor, the maid standing in the queen's room saw the two of them, and opened the door with her hand: "Ma'am, Miss and Master Xie are here."

"Come in." The queen's voice was full of joy and anger.

Xie Bai knew that the empress was completely different from the happy Xu Yuyao, the empress was best at keeping her face down.

The door was closed from the outside, and the queen asked, "Do you know why I called you here?"

"Wei Chen knows."

"Now that you know it, let's talk about it."

"I shouldn't have left the inn alone without notifying my empress and Your Highness; I shouldn't have wandered around after leaving the inn and lost my way in the end; I shouldn't have bumped into someone by mistake when I was lost. The gate of the brothel."

"Oh? So, it's all a coincidence?"

Xie Bai said: "It might sound fake, but it's true, it's just a coincidence."

"Yao'er, the queen mother asked someone to stew bird's nest in the kitchen, you go and help the queen mother to see how it is."

"Mother, Xie Bai really doesn't have a heart." Xu Yuyao knew that the queen wanted to distract herself, so she said, "Mother, don't you know Xie Bai is a person? No one in the whole capital knows, she Xie Xiaohou only reads with all her heart. There is nothing foreign in the eyes of the sage book."

"Yao'er, you are still young, people will change." The Queen picked up the teacup and took a sip gracefully, "Especially for men, today they only have sage books in their eyes, but in the future they will be full of Yingying Yanyan."

"If everyone in the world changes, there will be one person who will remain the same! My daughter thinks that person is Xie Bai." Xu Yuyao vowed.

However, the more Xu Yuyao insisted, the more the queen looked down on Xie Bai, and she simply let it go: "Xie Bai, as smart as you are, you should be able to see that your marriage to Yao'er has nothing to do with it except Yao'er herself." Nobody likes it."

Xie Bai also didn't expect that the queen would open up and speak directly, and said in a daze, "The humble minister is despicable, and he is indeed not worthy of the princess."

"Thank you, you..."

"Yao'er!" The queen stopped Xu Yuyao and continued to tell Xie Bai, "Then you should also know that it is Yao'er who is determined to marry you."

"My humble minister is wrongly loved by His Royal Highness the Princess."

"Yao'er is the old daughter of my palace and His Majesty. Both my palace and His Majesty protect her as a treasure. She likes you and wants to marry you. We will follow her, but..."

Xie Bai knew that the latter was the key point.

"Just because we follow her doesn't mean we will allow her son-in-law to lose her in his heart and eyes."

The queen's tone was neither urgent nor slow, and her voice was neither low nor high, but Xie Bai's heart trembled when she spoke.

"Yao'er's son-in-law can be ugly, poor, have no talents, and have no family background... But, the only thing is that he can't be heartless." The queen put down the cup, "Before coming to Suizhou, I will also briefly discuss the matter of offering incense. I heard about it. Xie Bai, I will give you a chance today, if you really can't have a heart for Yao'er, then let's give up on this marriage contract."

"Mother's queen!" Xu Yuyao was in a hurry, "The marriage bestowed by the emperor's golden mouth, how can you just let it go!"

Xie Bai didn't expect that the turning point he had been looking forward to all this time would actually arrive today.

Yes, she has no heart for Xu Yuyao, she doesn't want to be this son-in-law!As long as you say it, Xu Yuyao won't pester you anymore!I don't have to worry anymore, what is she asking a goldsmith to make a gold chain for...

However, Xie Bai opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say what he wanted to say to Xu Yuyao.

——At this time, Xu Yuyao was standing opposite her, her face was full of grievances, her eyes were a little red, under the faint candlelight, she seemed to be able to see tears still shining in her eyes.

For a moment, countless people and things flashed through Xie Bai's mind, including the Marquis of Changping, his own parents, the spiritual seat of his elder brother who died early, his classmates from Gyeonggi University, and... the last thing that appeared was Xu Yuyao's tear-stained face.

"I don't care! I only want Xie Bai alone! Even if the father, the queen and the queen cancel the engagement, the daughter will only be with Xie Bai!"

"You want to be with him, but what about him?" The queen sighed, "Yao'er, you are the queen mother's heart, if you are not happy in the future, the queen mother will feel sorry for you."

"Without Xie Bai, my daughter will never be happy in this life!" Xu Yuyao said, "No matter what Xie Bai thinks, my daughter only wants her!"

Xie Baidan knows that Xu Yuyao likes him, but he doesn't know why Xu Yuyao likes him, and why he is so obsessed with him.Even if Xu Yuyao likes women, there are so many women in the world, why does she have to be herself?

Xie Bai couldn't figure it out.

Xie Bai wanted to understand.

So, Xie Bai heard himself say: "I know that I am not worthy of the princess, but since the princess is willing to give me a chance, I am willing to spend my whole life to answer this question from the empress."

From the moment Xie Bai spoke, Xu Yuyao had already planned to take the guards to the Hou Mansion to rob people in the future, but unexpectedly, he heard such an answer from Xie Bai's mouth.

Neither did the queen.

She, who has seen countless people and never lost her eyes, is sure that Xie Bai has no affection for Xu Yuyao, and she did not hide the matter of pretending to be ill to avoid the marriage contract before.Before Xie Bai spoke, the queen was very sure that he would reject the marriage.

That's why the queen asked Xie Bai this question in front of Xu Yuyao.

The queen's plan was that as long as Xie Bai rejected the marriage in person, Xu Yuyao would be angry and sad, and thus give up on Xie Bai.At that time, I will organize the talents in the capital to go out together, and ask Xu Yuyao to pick another good husband.

But, no one thought that Xie Bai would say that!

"Mother, there is no need to dissolve this marriage!"
