Princess is stubborn
Chapter 24, Gift
"No...you don't need to take off your clothes." Xie Bai was a little embarrassed by her stare, his eyes dropped and fell on his lap.
Xu Yuyao came over with the medicine, looked down at her, followed the gap between the neck and the collar, and could see the shocking red marks on the back.
"What about the back injury if you don't take off your clothes?"
There was no other way, Xie Bai could only hesitantly and timidly took off his obscene clothes, then bowed his back and curled up like a shrimp.
Xie Bai didn't wear anything under his obscene clothes, and after taking them off, he was completely exposed to Xu Yuyao's sight.
Xu Yuyao didn't have any beautiful thoughts at this time, just looked at her thin and thin back with distinct bones, and felt distressed silently.
She always thought that Xie Bai was very thin, but she never expected to be so thin.A series of red marks spread all over the back, intertwined with the distinct bones, making Xu Yuyao's heart feel as if it had been crushed by something.
Xu Yuyao squatted beside the bed, dipped her fingers in the ointment, and first smeared the wound on Xie Bai's arm.
Xie Bai felt that such gentleness of Xu Yuyao made people reluctant to leave.When the cold ointment touched the wound, it was cool and itchy—the wound was touched, it should have been a burning pain, but Xu Yuyao's movements were too gentle, leaving only a tingling itch .
After taking the medicine on his arm, Xu Yuyao said, "Lie down on the bed."
Xie Bai leaned over obediently.
The cold touch came from the back, and Xie Bai closed his eyes in comfort.
After a while, it seemed that there were drops of water falling on his back, one drop after another.
Xie Bai propped himself up in surprise and turned his head, only to see Xu Yuyao was applying medicine to himself with two tear stains on his face.
"Your Highness...?"
Seeing her turn her head, Xu Yuyao quickly raised her arm and wiped away her tears with her wrist: "I haven't finished the medicine yet, don't move around."
Xie Bai wanted to say something, but Xu Yuyao pressed the uninjured part of his shoulder back.
Lie back on the pillow again, Xie Bai felt a little stuffy in his chest.
This was the second time she saw Xu Yuyao cry, and the last time, it was also because of her own fault.
In Xie Bai's memory, Xu Yuyao was always bright and flamboyant, but in just one month, he made him cry twice.
The first grievance, and this time...
Xie Bai only glanced at it, but didn't quite understand what kind of emotion Xu Yuyao was crying this time.
After the medicine was finished, Xu Yuyao pulled up her clothes: "Okay."
Xie Bai quickly sat up, and said while fastening his clothes, "Thank you, Your Highness."
" Between you and me, do you want to be so polite?"
There was no answer, because Xie Bai still didn't know how to answer.Xie Bai felt that she was in a mess right now. In 16 years, she has never been so disturbed for a moment like this moment.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Xu Yuyao didn't say any more, but said, "Let's rest more."
"Where is Your Highness resting tonight?"
"Just squeeze with you." Xu Yu Yao said.
Xie Bai looked at his narrow wooden bed, hesitant.However, Xu Yuyao has taken care of her here all day, and now she just wants to squeeze a bed with her, and if she refuses, it would be a bit too heartless.
So Xie Bai consciously moved in, giving up half of the bed.
Xu Yuyao took off her coat, washed her face casually, came over and lay down.
It was only then that Xie Bai noticed that Xu Yuyao hadn't combed her hair all day today, and kept her waist-length hair loose.Xu Yuyao has always loved beauty, and she likes asking Ling Dang to comb her the most popular bun in the capital.But today she ran out of the palace with her hair loose like this.
Xie Bai couldn't help but secretly looked at Xu Yuyao out of the corner of his eye.
Probably tired, after Xu Yuyao lay down, she quickly fell asleep.
Xu Yuyao who was asleep was very quiet, and the facial features that were as exquisite as God's preference also seemed a little softer when they were quiet.
The bed was simply too narrow.Xie Bai couldn't help thinking.As long as she moved a little, her arm would touch Xu Yuyao.
Xu Yuyao only wore a bellyband under her coat in summer, and her bare arms were exposed outside the quilt.
Even though they shared the bed with Xu Yuyao the night before, the bed in the Princess Mansion is so wide that if they don't want to touch each other, they will never touch each other.
The body temperature of the strange woman came through her obscene clothes, making Xie Bai's already sleepy spirit even more excited.
Tired of twisting his neck from lying flat all the time peeking, Xie Bai simply turned his body to look at her.But just as Xie Bai turned around, Xu Yuyao opened his eyes.
Xie Bai, who was caught, panicked for a moment. Just as she was about to open her mouth to explain, Xu Yuyao asked with concern: "What's wrong? Is there something uncomfortable?"
"No...no." Xie Bai was a little surprised.Didn't Xu Yuyao fall asleep just now?How could she even notice such a slight movement of her own?
"It's fine if you don't have one." After finishing speaking, Xu Yuyao simply stretched out his hand, put his arms around her uninjured waist, and patted her lightly, "Go to sleep, once you wake up, everything will be fine."
Originally, Xie Bai didn't feel sleepy at all, but after hearing this, he also felt a little sleepy.
Upon waking up, Xie Bai found that the two of them were still in the same posture they fell asleep last night.Xu Yuyao hasn't woken up yet, her hands are still on her waist.
Xie Bai looked at the hand on his waist, moved his body slightly, and was about to change his posture, the hand on his waist tightened a little, and then patted it lightly twice.
she woke up?Xie Bai raised his head to look over, but saw that Xu Yuyao still had his eyes closed, clapped his hands a few times and then stopped moving.
Xu Yuyao was still asleep.Xie Bai was a little at a loss.
Xie Bai knew that Xu Yuyao was trying to comfort him and coax him to sleep.But Xu Yuyao has never been a coaxer, or it can be said that in Xu Yuyao's 18 years of life, she has always been coaxed and supported by others.
"What are you thinking?" A question came suddenly in my ear.
Xie Bai came back to his senses, only to realize that Xu Yuyao had already woken up: "I woke up Your Highness?"
"No." Xu Yuyao changed her posture, but her hands were still on her waist, "How do you feel?"
"After drinking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Lin, I fell asleep again, feeling refreshed."
In fact, Xie Bai didn't need to say it, Xu Yuyao could tell that her complexion had recovered a lot, and she was no longer as sick as yesterday.
Xie Bai looked at the hand that seemed to be stuck to his body, and cleared his throat uncomfortably: "Your Highness... I should get up."
"It's still early, don't lie down for a while?"
"No, I... want to go to the toilet."
Xu Yuyao moved her hands away, sat up first, took the clothes next to her and put them on, then got out of bed and handed Xie Bai's over.
"What do you want for breakfast?" Xu Yuyao asked her after getting dressed.
When Xie Bai was seen by her, he didn't know what was wrong with him. He tied the belt twice and then opened it again.
Xu Yuyao simply went over and stretched out his hand to tie it on for her.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Xie Bai was a little embarrassed.Being treated like this by Xu Yuyao, as if she was still a child, "Anything is fine for breakfast."
"En." Xu Yuyao responded softly, and walked to the door with her, "Bell."
Bell came over immediately, saw Xie Bai going out, reluctantly moved out of the way, and came in after Xie Bai left: "Princess."
After asking Ling Dang to comb her hair and wash herself, Ling Dang looked at Xu Yuyao's clothes and asked hesitantly, "Your Highness, don't you want to change?"
Xu Yuyao had never been willing to wear a piece of clothing for two consecutive days before.
Looking down, Xu Yuyao said, "Forget it, there is nothing to change."
Ling Dang felt that Xie Bai must have given her princess some kind of ecstasy, otherwise why would her princess become so strange when she met Xie Bai!
Xie Bai came back from the bathroom and found that there was no one in the room, feeling a little lost for no reason.
However, when I thought about it again, my loss was really unreasonable.It was a surprise that Xu Yuyao came to the Hou's mansion yesterday to stay overnight, and he should return to the palace this morning.
When I think about it this way, I feel as if I am very greedy.
As for greed, Xie Bai didn't dare to let himself think about it.
After washing, Xie Bai sat in front of the mirror, combed his hair up, tied it with a cloth belt as usual, and then looked at himself in the mirror.
Today, he changed back to his loose and unfit men's clothes, Xie Bai looked at himself in the mirror, and felt more and more unfamiliar.
Is she supposed to be like this?
"It's time to eat."
Xu Yuyao's voice suddenly sounded from the door, Xie Bai came back to his senses, and saw Xu Yuyao coming in with a bell.
"Didn't His Highness return to the palace?" Xie Bai asked.She didn't notice the surprise in her own tone at all.
"When did I say I'm going back to the palace?" Xu Yuyao directed Bell and the guards who came in behind to serve breakfast one by one, "Didn't I ask you what you want to eat?"
So, she took Bell to buy breakfast - this breakfast was not from the Changping Hou Mansion at first glance.
"Yeah, I wanted to go to Yuexinju to buy roast chicken, but you haven't recovered from your illness and you can't eat too much greasy food." After Xu Yuyao sat down, she pulled the stool next to her to sit down too, " So I went to have a look and bought some light ones.”
"Let Your Highness bother you." Xu Yuyao bought a small amount of breakfast, but there were many kinds of breakfast, which seemed to be carefully selected.
Xie Bai's sense of loss before was wiped away, leaving only an inexplicable joy.
"When does Your Highness plan to return to the palace?"
Xu Yuyao thought for a while and said, "I won't go back until we get married."
"Princess, this is inappropriate." Bell said from the side.
"This palace says it's suitable, so it's suitable." Xu Yuyao thought, there are still two days left, if something happens to him after entering the palace, he will really regret it.
But things don't always go well.
"His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince sent someone to say that the four princes have returned to the capital and entered the palace within two hours. I would like to invite Your Highness to return to the palace for a briefing."
The four princes are Xu Yuyao's other four half-brothers. Since the youngest one is in his thirties, they have gone to the fiefdoms many years ago, and only come back every year for Christmas and New Year's Eve. .
Coming back this time was specially summoned by the emperor to send Xu Yuyao off to get married.
"No, we can get together with the four elder brothers after we get married." Xu Yuyao said, "When you go back, tell my third brother that I am worried about Xie Bai."
"But..." The visitor was a little confused, "Your Highness said, the four princes came back to Beijing for His Highness after all, so I must invite the princess back to the palace."
"If you don't go, you won't go, and if the third brother comes, you won't go."
"Then the fifth brother is here?" A voice sounded from outside the door.
Xu Yuyao looked outside the door, a little surprised: "Fifth brother?"
"The next official sees King Ding." Xie Bai hurriedly got up and saluted.
Ding Wang Xu Xin came in with a smile, waved to Xie Bai, and took out an oil paper package from his arms to Xu Yuyao: "Dingzhou specialty fructose, try it?"
"Thank you Fifth Brother." Xu Yuyao took it, and did not rush to open it, "Why did Fifth Brother arrive so soon? Didn't you say it would take another hour or two?"
"Your fifth brother's horse is good, it can run faster than theirs." Xu Xin patted Xu Yuyao's head, "I haven't seen you for a few months, and it's getting taller again."
"No, it's still the same."
The two brothers and sisters talked about the past, and Xu Xin got to the point: "Why don't you go back to the palace? Is it because the brothers are not as good as our future son-in-law?"
"Fifth brother said this, the elder brother is the elder brother, the son-in-law is the son-in-law, you are all the closest people to Yao'er, how can you not compare with it?" Xu Yuyao explained, "It's not that Xie Bai suffered a serious illness yesterday. Well, the day after tomorrow is the wedding, and I can't worry about her, so I thought about staying with her until the day after tomorrow before I enter the palace."
"Oh?"
"Anyway, after I get married in the future, I will have a mansion in Beijing, and then I will have a good time with my four brothers."
"Young Master looks good, and you can't tell he's sick." Xu Xin was also very dissatisfied with the fact that Xu Yuyao was going to marry Xie Bai.
Why did this precious little sister take a fancy to Xie Bai, a skinny monkey?
Xie Bai was already very familiar with this kind of picky and disgusting gaze, and immediately said: "It was the princess last night..."
"I brought the imperial doctor here to show her, and she has taken the medicine, so she is much better." Xu Yuyao interrupted her.
Xu Yuyao also knew that her family looked down on Xie Bai, if Xie Bai said that he took care of her all night, then these elder brothers might hate Xie Bai even more.
But Xu Yuyao's obstruction is of no use to Xu Xin.Xu Xin naturally guessed that it was Xu Yuyao who took care of him here last night.
"En. Now that it's done, then Yao'er will go back to the palace with brother."
Xu Yuyao still wanted to refuse, but Xie Bai said: "Yes, Your Highness, the minister is already well, the princess should go back with the prince."
"The medicine..."
Xie Bai knew that what she was talking about was medicine for trauma, so he said, "I can do it myself."
Xu Yuyao looked at Xu Xin, then at the person sent by the crown prince: "Okay."
Now there is only her fifth brother, but if she stays alone, it is hard to say whether the other three will come together after entering Beijing.
Xu Yuyao got on the carriage step by step, and left the guards at the Hou Mansion before leaving, and told Xie Bai: "These guards will also be your bodyguards in the future, if anyone dares to attack you again, they will ask the guards to protect you. Did you hear me?"
"Can……"
"No but, no one can do it." Xu Yuyao said, "If you are unwilling to protect yourself, then I can't guarantee that I will use any extreme means to protect you."
What Xu Yuyao thought was that if anyone dared to touch Xie Bai, he would kill that person.
But these words fell into Xie Bai's ears, what she thought was that Xu Yuyao might really want to lock herself up.
So Xie Bai said: "I must protect myself well."
"Yao'er has so much to say to him?"
Xu Yuyao got into Xu Xin's carriage, and immediately a maid poured water for her.
Taking the cup, Xu Yuyao said: "If I have nothing to say, then why should I marry her?"
"Hey——" Xu Xin deliberately let out a long breath, "Yao'er has grown up, and the brothers are all old men, so naturally they are no more likable than the young master."
Xu Yuyao raised her eyebrows: "Why does fifth brother insist on trying to please me? Fifth brother should try to please his sister-in-law."
"In the past, Yao'er never talked to Brother Wu like this. In the past, Yao'er would only follow Brother Wu's ass to eat and play."
"I was still young at that time." Xu Yuyao said, "Yao'er has grown up, and Fifth Brother is also married, so naturally I can no longer get along like I did when I was a child."
Xu Xin was a little emotional.He hadn't heard of it when he was in Dingzhou, but he came all the way, and he heard about Xu Yuyao's troubles in the capital these days.
If the emperor hadn't specially instructed them in the letter not to mention those things in front of Xu Yuyao, Xu Xin really wanted to ask Xu Yuyao what he was thinking on weekdays in order to come up with those deviant things.
"What is Fifth Brother thinking?"
"It's nothing."
Xu Yuyao looked at the convoy before getting into the car, and there was only this one carriage, so she asked, "Did sister-in-law go to Beijing with Fifth Brother?"
"Here, she has entered the palace in another carriage."
The carriage pushed against the high wall of the imperial palace all the way, and then changed the sedan chair in front of the gate of the inner palace, and went straight to the harem.
The country is prosperous and the people are peaceful, so the imperial court has too much time to rest and bathe. Today, when the four sons return to Beijing, the emperor specially gave the courtiers another day off, and he has been waiting in the queen's palace for a long time.
Besides the queen, the other three concubines were already waiting there, waiting for their son to come back.
"I send my respects to my father and queen mother."
"Excuse me, excuse me." As soon as the emperor waved his hand, someone came over to add chairs for Xu Yuyao and Xu Xin.
It wasn't long before Xu Yuyao sat down, and the chair was not warm yet, there was a rumor that King Rui had returned.King Rui is the emperor's second son, Xu Yi, whose fiefdom is in Ruizhou.
King Rui and his wife are both over forty years old now. When Xu Yuyao was born, Xu Yi had already left Beijing for many years, so the relationship with Xu Yuyao was not as close as the third, fourth, and fifth children.
However, after all, there was only this younger sister. As soon as Xu Yi took his seat, he asked Princess Rui to pick up a gift.
"This is the glazed cup from Ruizhou. The prince said that he is only one younger sister. Now that the younger sister is getting married, I don't know what to give as a gift. So I asked someone to carve this pair of glazed cups. I wish Yao'er and the son-in-law to marry forever." concentric."
"Thank you second sister-in-law and second brother." Xu Yuyao took the wooden box and opened it immediately.
The glazed cup inside is bright in color and meticulously carved. If it is in the market, even if it is sold for a hundred taels of gold, there are people who are good at it to snatch it.
Xu Yi saw it and smiled: "Second brother is so cunning, he gave gifts as soon as he came, so that I, fifth brother, don't give Yao'er something, and I'm not worthy to be her elder brother."
"The fifth brother prepared a gift?"
"of course."
Concubine Ding also handed over a box: "The prince picked it up all over Dingzhou before leaving."
Xu Yuyao opened the box, and inside was a pair of gold and jade-encrusted walking steps.There are very few pairs of Bu Yao. Xu Yuyao took it out and took a look, and found that the two Bu Yao looked the same, but there were subtle differences.
After fantasizing for a while, after she and Xie Bai wore one alone, Xu Yuyao felt very satisfied: "Thank you Fifth Sister-in-Law, Fifth Brother."
"Your Majesty, Duke Xuan and Duke Huai have arrived."
As soon as Xuan Wang Xu Ren and Huai Wang Xu Zhi came in, they saw two wooden boxes on the table beside Xu Yuyao.After saluting to the emperor and queen, they also asked their respective princesses to take out the gifts they had prepared.
Xu Yuyao suddenly had two more boxes, so he had to put the previous two boxes together and put them aside before opening the two.
Xu Zhi gave a pair of bracelets, while Xu Ren gave a set of pens and inks.
pen and ink?Xu Yuyao looked at Xu Ren and Princess Xuan: "Why do elder brother and sister-in-law send pens and ink?"
Everyone knows that she dislikes reading and writing the most.
Princess Xuan smiled and said: "This is for the son-in-law. The prince heard that the young master is excellent in calligraphy and painting, so he wants to say that if the son-in-law has nothing to do on weekdays, he will paint more and keep the beauty of our rumors." .”
Hearing this, Xu Yuyao's eyes lit up.
The other three immediately beat their chests and stamped their feet: "The elder brother is even better!"
"Compared with big brother's gifts, the ones we gave are too conventional."
"Brothers and sisters-in-law's kindness, Yao'er is very happy." Xu Yuyao smiled and held the four boxes in her arms, "What is vulgar and what is elegant? The heart can only be sincere or not. Brothers and sisters-in-law are like this Shangxin, Yao'er is almost moved to tears."
"Yao'er is still the best at talking."
A few words coaxed the eight people to be happy.
It was rumored outside: "The prince and princess have arrived—"
"Have you received so many presents?" The prince understood when he saw the four boxes.
Xu Yuyao was also not polite to him: "Then what gift did the third brother prepare for me?"
"Guess?" The prince said as if he was taking credit, "I'm sure you will be satisfied."
"Oh?" Xu Yuyao thought for a while, and then said, "Is the stele erected?"
"Not yet, but the inscription has been drawn up, do you want to see it?"
Hearing this, the emperor hurriedly coughed: "We'll talk about these things later. It's already this hour, haven't you had lunch yet?"
What monument?The other four looked at each other in blank dismay, and seeing what the emperor meant, they really wanted to change the topic.The four brothers were full of curiosity.
"Then father, queen mother, and ladies and gentlemen, take your brothers and sisters-in-law to lunch first, and I'll talk about it later."
The emperor glared at the prince: What is wrong with mentioning this?
The prince felt aggrieved: Isn't Yao'er very happy?
The emperor stared back again: happy is happy, don't you know how to choose the time?
Well, the timing is really not right today.But seeing that the other brothers gave Xu Yuyao gifts and coaxed her into a happy mood, the prince thought that he couldn't be worse than them.
What's more, he is Xu Yuyao's brother!
"Yao'er, the inscription is ready, don't worry about it right now, it won't be able to run long after you have a meal, can it?"
This made sense, Xu Yuyao didn't worry about it anymore, and put the four boxes into Bell's arms: "Help me take them to my bedroom, put them away."
"Here."
"Then Yao'er also go to eat with me?"
Xu Yuyao nodded: "Of course."
Due to the rush of time, lunch was just a simple daily standard. After lunch, the four princes who traveled long distances took their princesses back to their previous palaces to rest.
Xu Yuyao dragged the prince and princess and went straight to his bedroom.
"Third brother, show me quickly, how many people are there!"
The prince reached into his pocket to take out the paper and paused: "...Yao'er thinks, how many people are suitable?"
"Naturally, the more the better, no, that's not right." Xu Yuyao said, "If this atmosphere changes, it's naturally better not to have one!"

Thanks to the little angel who threw the grenade: don't make a sound 1;

Today, he changed back to his loose and unfit men's clothes, Xie Bai looked at himself in the mirror, and felt more and more unfamiliar.
Is she supposed to be like this?
"It's time to eat."
Xu Yuyao's voice suddenly sounded from the door, Xie Bai came back to his senses, and saw Xu Yuyao coming in with a bell.
"Didn't His Highness return to the palace?" Xie Bai asked.She didn't notice the surprise in her own tone at all.
"When did I say I'm going back to the palace?" Xu Yuyao directed Bell and the guards who came in behind to serve breakfast one by one, "Didn't I ask you what you want to eat?"
So, she took Bell to buy breakfast - this breakfast was not from the Changping Hou Mansion at first glance.
"Yeah, I wanted to go to Yuexinju to buy roast chicken, but you haven't recovered from your illness and you can't eat too much greasy food." After Xu Yuyao sat down, she pulled the stool next to her to sit down too, " So I went to have a look and bought some light ones.”
"Let Your Highness bother you." Xu Yuyao bought a small amount of breakfast, but there were many kinds of breakfast, which seemed to be carefully selected.
Xie Bai's sense of loss before was wiped away, leaving only an inexplicable joy.
"When does Your Highness plan to return to the palace?"
Xu Yuyao thought for a while and said, "I won't go back until we get married."
"Princess, this is inappropriate." Bell said from the side.
"This palace says it's suitable, so it's suitable." Xu Yuyao thought, there are still two days left, if something happens to him after entering the palace, he will really regret it.
But things don't always go well.
"His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince sent someone to say that the four princes have returned to the capital and entered the palace within two hours. I would like to invite Your Highness to return to the palace for a briefing."
The four princes are Xu Yuyao's other four half-brothers. Since the youngest one is in his thirties, they have gone to the fiefdoms many years ago, and only come back every year for Christmas and New Year's Eve. .
Coming back this time was specially summoned by the emperor to send Xu Yuyao off to get married.
"No, we can get together with the four elder brothers after we get married." Xu Yuyao said, "When you go back, tell my third brother that I am worried about Xie Bai."
"But..." The visitor was a little confused, "Your Highness said, the four princes came back to Beijing for His Highness after all, so I must invite the princess back to the palace."
"If you don't go, you won't go, and if the third brother comes, you won't go."
"Then the fifth brother is here?" A voice sounded from outside the door.
Xu Yuyao looked outside the door, a little surprised: "Fifth brother?"
"The next official sees King Ding." Xie Bai hurriedly got up and saluted.
Ding Wang Xu Xin came in with a smile, waved to Xie Bai, and took out an oil paper package from his arms to Xu Yuyao: "Dingzhou specialty fructose, try it?"
"Thank you Fifth Brother." Xu Yuyao took it, and did not rush to open it, "Why did Fifth Brother arrive so soon? Didn't you say it would take another hour or two?"
"Your fifth brother's horse is good, it can run faster than theirs." Xu Xin patted Xu Yuyao's head, "I haven't seen you for a few months, and it's getting taller again."
"No, it's still the same."
The two brothers and sisters talked about the past, and Xu Xin got to the point: "Why don't you go back to the palace? Is it because the brothers are not as good as our future son-in-law?"
"Fifth brother said this, the elder brother is the elder brother, the son-in-law is the son-in-law, you are all the closest people to Yao'er, how can you not compare with it?" Xu Yuyao explained, "It's not that Xie Bai suffered a serious illness yesterday. Well, the day after tomorrow is the wedding, and I can't worry about her, so I thought about staying with her until the day after tomorrow before I enter the palace."
"Oh?"
"Anyway, after I get married in the future, I will have a mansion in Beijing, and then I will have a good time with my four brothers."
"Young Master looks good, and you can't tell he's sick." Xu Xin was also very dissatisfied with the fact that Xu Yuyao was going to marry Xie Bai.
Why did this precious little sister take a fancy to Xie Bai, a skinny monkey?
Xie Bai was already very familiar with this kind of picky and disgusting gaze, and immediately said: "It was the princess last night..."
"I brought the imperial doctor here to show her, and she has taken the medicine, so she is much better." Xu Yuyao interrupted her.
Xu Yuyao also knew that her family looked down on Xie Bai, if Xie Bai said that he took care of her all night, then these elder brothers might hate Xie Bai even more.
But Xu Yuyao's obstruction is of no use to Xu Xin.Xu Xin naturally guessed that it was Xu Yuyao who took care of him here last night.
"En. Now that it's done, then Yao'er will go back to the palace with brother."
Xu Yuyao still wanted to refuse, but Xie Bai said: "Yes, Your Highness, the minister is already well, the princess should go back with the prince."
"The medicine..."
Xie Bai knew that what she was talking about was medicine for trauma, so he said, "I can do it myself."
Xu Yuyao looked at Xu Xin, then at the person sent by the crown prince: "Okay."
Now there is only her fifth brother, but if she stays alone, it is hard to say whether the other three will come together after entering Beijing.
Xu Yuyao got on the carriage step by step, and left the guards at the Hou Mansion before leaving, and told Xie Bai: "These guards will also be your bodyguards in the future, if anyone dares to attack you again, they will ask the guards to protect you. Did you hear me?"
"Can……"
"No but, no one can do it." Xu Yuyao said, "If you are unwilling to protect yourself, then I can't guarantee that I will use any extreme means to protect you."
What Xu Yuyao thought was that if anyone dared to touch Xie Bai, he would kill that person.
But these words fell into Xie Bai's ears, what she thought was that Xu Yuyao might really want to lock herself up.
So Xie Bai said: "I must protect myself well."
"Yao'er has so much to say to him?"
Xu Yuyao got into Xu Xin's carriage, and immediately a maid poured water for her.
Taking the cup, Xu Yuyao said: "If I have nothing to say, then why should I marry her?"
"Hey——" Xu Xin deliberately let out a long breath, "Yao'er has grown up, and the brothers are all old men, so naturally they are no more likable than the young master."
Xu Yuyao raised her eyebrows: "Why does fifth brother insist on trying to please me? Fifth brother should try to please his sister-in-law."
"In the past, Yao'er never talked to Brother Wu like this. In the past, Yao'er would only follow Brother Wu's ass to eat and play."
"I was still young at that time." Xu Yuyao said, "Yao'er has grown up, and Fifth Brother is also married, so naturally I can no longer get along like I did when I was a child."
Xu Xin was a little emotional.He hadn't heard of it when he was in Dingzhou, but he came all the way, and he heard about Xu Yuyao's troubles in the capital these days.
If the emperor hadn't specially instructed them in the letter not to mention those things in front of Xu Yuyao, Xu Xin really wanted to ask Xu Yuyao what he was thinking on weekdays in order to come up with those deviant things.
"What is Fifth Brother thinking?"
"It's nothing."
Xu Yuyao looked at the convoy before getting into the car, and there was only this one carriage, so she asked, "Did sister-in-law go to Beijing with Fifth Brother?"
"Here, she has entered the palace in another carriage."
The carriage pushed against the high wall of the imperial palace all the way, and then changed the sedan chair in front of the gate of the inner palace, and went straight to the harem.
The country is prosperous and the people are peaceful, so the imperial court has too much time to rest and bathe. Today, when the four sons return to Beijing, the emperor specially gave the courtiers another day off, and he has been waiting in the queen's palace for a long time.
Besides the queen, the other three concubines were already waiting there, waiting for their son to come back.
"I send my respects to my father and queen mother."
"Excuse me, excuse me." As soon as the emperor waved his hand, someone came over to add chairs for Xu Yuyao and Xu Xin.
It wasn't long before Xu Yuyao sat down, and the chair was not warm yet, there was a rumor that King Rui had returned.King Rui is the emperor's second son, Xu Yi, whose fiefdom is in Ruizhou.
King Rui and his wife are both over forty years old now. When Xu Yuyao was born, Xu Yi had already left Beijing for many years, so the relationship with Xu Yuyao was not as close as the third, fourth, and fifth children.
However, after all, there was only this younger sister. As soon as Xu Yi took his seat, he asked Princess Rui to pick up a gift.
"This is the glazed cup from Ruizhou. The prince said that he is only one younger sister. Now that the younger sister is getting married, I don't know what to give as a gift. So I asked someone to carve this pair of glazed cups. I wish Yao'er and the son-in-law to marry forever." concentric."
"Thank you second sister-in-law and second brother." Xu Yuyao took the wooden box and opened it immediately.
The glazed cup inside is bright in color and meticulously carved. If it is in the market, even if it is sold for a hundred taels of gold, there are people who are good at it to snatch it.
Xu Yi saw it and smiled: "Second brother is so cunning, he gave gifts as soon as he came, so that I, fifth brother, don't give Yao'er something, and I'm not worthy to be her elder brother."
"The fifth brother prepared a gift?"
"of course."
Concubine Ding also handed over a box: "The prince picked it up all over Dingzhou before leaving."
Xu Yuyao opened the box, and inside was a pair of gold and jade-encrusted walking steps.There are very few pairs of Bu Yao. Xu Yuyao took it out and took a look, and found that the two Bu Yao looked the same, but there were subtle differences.
After fantasizing for a while, after she and Xie Bai wore one alone, Xu Yuyao felt very satisfied: "Thank you Fifth Sister-in-Law, Fifth Brother."
"Your Majesty, Duke Xuan and Duke Huai have arrived."
As soon as Xuan Wang Xu Ren and Huai Wang Xu Zhi came in, they saw two wooden boxes on the table beside Xu Yuyao.After saluting to the emperor and queen, they also asked their respective princesses to take out the gifts they had prepared.
Xu Yuyao suddenly had two more boxes, so he had to put the previous two boxes together and put them aside before opening the two.
Xu Zhi gave a pair of bracelets, while Xu Ren gave a set of pens and inks.
pen and ink?Xu Yuyao looked at Xu Ren and Princess Xuan: "Why do elder brother and sister-in-law send pens and ink?"
Everyone knows that she dislikes reading and writing the most.
Princess Xuan smiled and said: "This is for the son-in-law. The prince heard that the young master is excellent in calligraphy and painting, so he wants to say that if the son-in-law has nothing to do on weekdays, he will paint more and keep the beauty of our rumors." .”
Hearing this, Xu Yuyao's eyes lit up.
The other three immediately beat their chests and stamped their feet: "The elder brother is even better!"
"Compared with big brother's gifts, the ones we gave are too conventional."
"Brothers and sisters-in-law's kindness, Yao'er is very happy." Xu Yuyao smiled and held the four boxes in her arms, "What is vulgar and what is elegant? The heart can only be sincere or not. Brothers and sisters-in-law are like this Shangxin, Yao'er is almost moved to tears."
"Yao'er is still the best at talking."
A few words coaxed the eight people to be happy.
It was rumored outside: "The prince and princess have arrived—"
"Have you received so many presents?" The prince understood when he saw the four boxes.
Xu Yuyao was also not polite to him: "Then what gift did the third brother prepare for me?"
"Guess?" The prince said as if he was taking credit, "I'm sure you will be satisfied."
"Oh?" Xu Yuyao thought for a while, and then said, "Is the stele erected?"
"Not yet, but the inscription has been drawn up, do you want to see it?"
Hearing this, the emperor hurriedly coughed: "We'll talk about these things later. It's already this hour, haven't you had lunch yet?"
What monument?The other four looked at each other in blank dismay, and seeing what the emperor meant, they really wanted to change the topic.The four brothers were full of curiosity.
"Then father, queen mother, and ladies and gentlemen, take your brothers and sisters-in-law to lunch first, and I'll talk about it later."
The emperor glared at the prince: What is wrong with mentioning this?
The prince felt aggrieved: Isn't Yao'er very happy?
The emperor stared back again: happy is happy, don't you know how to choose the time?
Well, the timing is really not right today.But seeing that the other brothers gave Xu Yuyao gifts and coaxed her into a happy mood, the prince thought that he couldn't be worse than them.
What's more, he is Xu Yuyao's brother!
"Yao'er, the inscription is ready, don't worry about it right now, it won't be able to run long after you have a meal, can it?"
This made sense, Xu Yuyao didn't worry about it anymore, and put the four boxes into Bell's arms: "Help me take them to my bedroom, put them away."
"Here."
"Then Yao'er also go to eat with me?"
Xu Yuyao nodded: "Of course."
Due to the rush of time, lunch was just a simple daily standard. After lunch, the four princes who traveled long distances took their princesses back to their previous palaces to rest.
Xu Yuyao dragged the prince and princess and went straight to his bedroom.
"Third brother, show me quickly, how many people are there!"
The prince reached into his pocket to take out the paper and paused: "...Yao'er thinks, how many people are suitable?"
"Naturally, the more the better, no, that's not right." Xu Yuyao said, "If this atmosphere changes, it's naturally better not to have one!"
