Princess is stubborn
Chapter 25, Before Marriage
In the end, the prince escaped with the paper.
After Xu Yuyao finished reading it, she was a little disappointed: "Is this the only one?"
The prince sighed and said, "How can this thought be changed just by changing it?"
It was this one, and he just used the title of Wang Shi, who would never be able to guess who it was.Xu Yuyao felt that even if the stele was erected, it would have no effect at all.
Seeing her worry, the princess said: "Don't be too anxious, Yaoer, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, right? And the wedding is coming soon, don't let these outside things disturb your mood."
Xu Yuyao nodded, but she still couldn't let go of this matter.
At that time, she was alone in the gazebo facing the fear of the thieves, and she had a deep memory.Although she has always looked the same as usual during this period, only she knows that during this period, she has dreamed back several times in the middle of the night and was awakened by nightmares.
She didn't dare to think about how those women survived.
Seeing that she was still frowning, the princess said again: "Qingyue has also entered the palace, the wind is good today, you go and fly kites."
"Do not want to."
The prince hurriedly said: "By the way, the news has spread throughout the capital today."
"En?" Xu Yuyao turned to look at him.
"It's about Teng Yue and the four of them." The prince said.
"How did it spread?" Xu Yuyao was curious.There were so many things going on in the past two days, she almost forgot that Teng Yue and the others still owed ten "guests".
"Everyone is saying they deserve it." The prince said half-truthfully.
Some people are indeed saying that the four of them deserve it, but not all of them are saying that, some people are saying that Xu Yuyao is really savage, and Xie Bai was just taken by the four of them to have a flower wine before getting married, so he must be humiliated like this, This princess is an evil spirit!
"Where does this go?" Xu Yuyao thought to herself: just being said a few words, after a while there will be other things in the capital, and they will be forgotten by everyone.
But it's good for the news to spread, so that there will be people who don't have eyes and brains to take Xie Bai to strange places.
Seeing that Xu Yuyao was in a better mood, the prince said to the princess, "By the way, don't you also have a gift for Yao'er?"
"Look at my brain," the princess said, taking something out of her sleeve and said, "This is the token of Xueji pawnshop, no matter which state you are in, as long as there is Xueji pawnshop, you can use it Go cash the check."
Xu Yuyao was at a loss: "Sister-in-law, I am not short of money."
The prince smiled and said, "Is there still too much money? Your third sister-in-law gives it to you, and you just keep it."
The princess's natal family is Xue's family, and this Xueji pawn shop is also known to be the property of the princess's natal family, but——
"But such an important token was originally given to the third sister-in-law, and it was given to me. How shameful it is."
"What about the day when you hear the words 'unbelievable' from your mouth?" the prince laughed.
The Crown Princess explained softly: "I don't need this token either. I originally planned to pass it on to my daughter when I have a daughter. At that time, no matter how her husband's family is, there will always be a guarantee in the end. But your third brother and I don't have the life of a daughter...you can be counted as the one I grew up with, even though you are a younger sister, but you are similar to a daughter, so this token is given to you today."
Now that the Crown Princess talked about this point, Xu Yuyao didn't pretend to refuse any more, but accepted it very solemnly: "Then Yuyao will thank the third sister-in-law."
The token was engraved with the word "Xue" in small script, Xu Yuyao touched it, and carefully received it in her arms.
"Father and mother! Sister!" Xu Qingyue played outside for a while, and finally couldn't help running in.
Xu Yuyao patted his little nephew's head: "Look at you sweating from running."
"The sisters of Uncle Fourth and Uncle Fifth's family are so cute." Xu Qingyue raised his arms and wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Sister-in-law, do you want to go and see?"
At first, she wanted to say no, but Xu Yuyao got up anyway when she met Xu Qingyue's expectant eyes, and was dragged away by him.
The two little girls were coaxed to sleep by the nanny on the way, and now they are in the palace, everything is new, so naturally they refused to take a nap, so they had to be coaxed by the nanny to play in the garden.
When Xu Qingyue took Xu Yuyao to the garden, he saw two little girls being hugged by their respective nurses, and they were crying.
Xu Yuyao hurried over and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I've seen the princess." The two nannies hugged the child and said after curtly saluting, "There seems to be thorns on the flowers here, and the servants just got distracted, and the two little princesses stabbed themselves."
Being pricked by flower thorns is no big deal, Xu Yuyao felt relieved, touched the weeping faces of the two of them one after another and said, "My aunt was also pricked by flowers here many times when I was young, but my aunt didn't cry."
The two little guys twitched their noses and asked, "Why?"
"Because it's ugly to cry." As she spoke, Xu Yuyao made a face at the two of them.
The two little guys were immediately amused.
Asking the nanny to take the two of them back to wash their faces, and check to see if there are any thorns left in their hands, Xu Yuyao said to the two little guys, "Come to play in Auntie's palace later? Auntie has a lot of toys."
"want!"
Seeing the nanny taking the two younger sisters away, Xu Qingyue couldn't help asking: "I heard from my parents that my sister is going to get married soon, so after my sister gets married, will she also give birth to a younger sister for me?"
Xu Yuyao had already thought about this question when she knew that she liked Xie Bai.
She didn't care at all whether she would have children in the future, but now that the junior suddenly asked her this question, Xu Yuyao really didn't know how to answer.
After thinking about it for a while, but couldn't find a suitable reason to prevaricate, Xu Yuyao could only nod Xu Qingyue's forehead and said, "Go ahead and dream."
Xu Qingyue didn't understand why this was just a dream, scratched his head, and followed her back.
In the afternoon, Xu Zhi and Xu Xin's youngest daughter played very happily at Xu Yuyao's place, and finally got tired of playing, so she just fell asleep here.
When the two princesses heard about it, they rushed over immediately.
"I'm giving you trouble."
Xu Yuyao waved her hand: "It's nothing, the two of them are easy to coax."
Princess Ding smiled and said: "When the princess and the son-in-law get married, she will give birth to a little princess as soon as possible to coax her."
Princess Huai smiled and agreed: "That's right, the little princess born to the princess and Lord Xie Xiaohou must be smart and beautiful. Unlike our family, who invited his master to enlighten him, but only cared about playing."
To the teasing of the two sister-in-laws, Xu Yuyao just smiled and did not speak.
The two of them only thought she was shy.
If the princess was here at this time, she would definitely tell the two of them: If you think too much, anyone may be shy, but this one won't.
When the child was mentioned, the two of them started chatting and started chatting all of a sudden.
This one said that the eldest in the family was always criticized by his master when he was studying in school, and the other said that the child was too naughty and could not be managed well... As they talked, they also talked about the issue of the concubine's room.
This one said that her prince took a concubine, and that concubine was so lazy that she invited an ancestor back; the other said "you are content", her prince did not take a concubine, but from time to time he followed the magistrates in the fief, Go to the brothel to drink flower wine.
Xu Yuyao frowned slightly upon hearing this.
The two of them changed their conversation and turned to Xu Yuyao.
"I really envy the princess."
"Yes, the concubine is not allowed to take concubines, so the princess and the concubine can live together forever."
"You don't have to worry about other women who have given birth to his child and compete with your child for the family business."
"Don't worry about a child suddenly appearing one day, saying it belongs to your family."
The two talked to each other, and then quickly talked about the affairs of their own house.
Xu Yuyao heard that they were displeased with the two princes for taking concubines and drinking flowers and wine between the lines, so she said: "Did the sisters-in-law mention these things to the elder brothers?"
"How can this be mentioned!" The two looked at Xu Yuyao in surprise.
"Why can't you mention it?"
"This is 'jealousy', which violates the rule of seven."
Xu Yuyao didn't like reading since she was a child, especially those about etiquette and morality, so naturally she didn't know what Qichu was.
Seeing that she was puzzled, Princess Huai explained the seven rules to her.
Frowning, Xu Yuyao said: "I just want her to belong to me. It's obviously because of love, how can it become jealousy?"
like?The two thought Xu Yuyao was a little funny, but after laughing, they became envious again.
I heard that Xu Yuyao and Xie Bai's marriage was a match made by Xu Yuyao himself, so the marriage should be because of love, right?
But what about them?They are not.They may have married into the palace for political reasons or for other reasons.what is love?They never understood.
All they know is that they have a better life than everyone else, and that's enough.
Because everyone has no love, they are used to it, but once someone who says something different comes out, for a while, something ripples out of their stagnant hearts.
Thinking of this, the two looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.
Loving this kind of thing is a luxury that only a pampered princess like Xu Yuyao can enjoy.
"The princess has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she still doesn't understand these things. When the neighbors see more in the future, they will understand why."
"It's getting late, let's take them back first, so as not to disturb the princess' rest."
"Two sisters-in-laws, go slowly." Xu Yuyao got up and sent the two to the door. When she came back, she lay on the recliner, shaking herself, a little lost in thought.
On the last day before the wedding, the palace held a flower viewing banquet in the name of the queen, as the wives of dignitaries and nobles in the capital gave Xu Yuyao a wedding banquet together.
Xu Yuyao didn't care about it, but after the queen persuaded the five sister-in-laws to persuade them in turn, she got tired of persuasion, so she had to follow.
Among the wives who came was Xie Bai's mother, Xu Yuyao didn't look good when she saw her.
Mrs. Xie didn't dare to look directly at Xu Yuyao, so she could only sit among the group of people with her head down and said nothing.
However, there are always people who want to watch the fun.
"Mrs. Xie, the princess will marry into your Xie family in the future, and she will be a member of your Xie family..."
Everyone was sitting very close to each other, and Xu Yuyao also heard this, and immediately felt a little upset: "What do you mean when I marry into Xie's family, and I will be a member of Xie's family in the future?"
"This..." The lady who spoke was a little surprised, and thought to herself: Could it be that there is still a change in this marriage?
"Bengong and Xie Bai got married, we two started a family by ourselves, what does it have to do with Xie's family?"
"Your Highness is right," the lady hurriedly apologized, "It was the minister's wife who made a slip of the tongue."
"Since you know you've made a slip of the tongue, then say less." After Xu Yuyao finished speaking, she looked at Mrs. Xie, "Take a step to speak."
Mrs. Xie saw that Xu Yuyao was merciless towards the other wives, so she followed in fear.
Yesterday she saw that Xu Yuyao cared a lot about Xie Bai, but as Xie Bai's mother herself, she watched Xie Bai being beaten like that - if Xu Yuyao asked her to come over, she would definitely condemn her.
"How is Ziqing doing now?"
coming.Madam Xie lowered her head and said, "Go back to Your Highness, it's much better."
"really?"
The ending sound of Shangchao carries Xu Yuyao's unique, provocative feeling.
Mrs. Xie only felt that in this summer day, it was so cold that people shivered a little: "Damn, seriously."
"It's better to be true." Xu Yuyao sneered, "Tomorrow, I will get married in this palace, and I must see a good Xie Bai!"
"Yes, yes." Mrs. Xie repeatedly said yes.
Since Xu Yuyao returned to the palace yesterday, Marquis Xie locked himself in the study for a day and a night, even if he went to court this morning, he said he was sick and did not go.I don't think I will do anything before the wedding.
However, tomorrow is going to be a big wedding, and after marriage...
Madam Xie didn't dare to think about what would happen if Xu Yuyao found out Xie Bai's secret.
"Master, the supervisor of ceremonies is here."
Xie Bai was writing at the desk when he heard the announcement from the servant outside.
After finishing the last stroke steadily, Xie Bai put down the pen: "Here we come."
A group of people came from the Supervisor of Rituals, almost filling the front hall of the Hou Mansion.
Seeing Xie Bai come out, the leader gave a salute: "I have seen the young master, Pingyue, the supervisor of the court, was ordered to come here today to sort out the wedding process for the young master tomorrow."
"Master Ping, I'm sorry."
"This is the wedding dress that the young master will wear tomorrow, and I invite the young master to try it on."
Want to try on clothes?Xie Bai had no choice but to invite him to the backyard.
Looking at the maids and eunuchs who were about to enter the house with him, Xie Bai stood at the door, blocking the way: "Don't bother, I'll just wear it myself."
"Then please hurry up, Young Master, time is limited."
"Okay." Xie Bai's temperament has always been relatively meek, even though the tone of the adult supervisor just now was somewhat threatening, but she didn't care, and still complied.
It's summer now, and the wedding dress only has one layer, but it's easy to wear.Xie Bai took off his coat, took the wedding dress and put it on himself.
However, this wedding dress was different from Xie Bai's usual clothes.Xie Bai's usual clothes are always made wider than her body, so as to hide her secret; but this wedding dress seems a little tight.
Speaking of which, no one from the Supervisor of Rituals came to measure her before, so it was expected that the wedding dress didn't fit well.It's just that the big wedding is going to be tomorrow, but I only let myself try on clothes today...
Xie Bai felt that this was probably also due to the royal order, to give himself a blow.
Sighing, Xie Bai had no choice but to take off the obscene clothes inside, found a piece of cloth from the closet, wrapped it around his chest twice, and then put on the wedding dress again.
It's just that when the cloth was close to the skin and rubbed against the wound, Xie Bai unconsciously clenched his roots.
The bright red wedding dress was a color that Xie Bai would never give a second glance to when making clothes, but now wearing it on him actually added a bit of joy.
"Young Master, do you think the wedding dress fits well?"
"Fit." Xie Bai said.
Even if it doesn't fit, it can't be said.Firstly, there is no rush to change it after saying it; secondly, this is just to show him off, if he makes a fuss, it will only make those in the palace look down on him even more.
"Then please young master, let's familiarize myself with the things to be done tomorrow with the officials."
"It's work."
Xie Bai followed the supervisor of ceremonies from one end of the yard to the other, feeling that the wounds on his arms and back were scorching hot again.
Pingyue seemed to have noticed something, and asked, "Young Lord, is there something wrong with your body?"
Xie Bai gritted his teeth, tried his best to endure the pain and said, "No, no, let's continue."
"Then the official will continue. If the young master thinks something is inappropriate, please inform the official in time."
"En." Xie Bai said in his heart: If an outspoken person believes this nonsense and really says it, the days to come will be very sad.
Followed by the inspector of ceremonies for an hour without interruption, and finally finished the main procedures for tomorrow.
Pingyue said: "Young Master, do you remember everything clearly?"
"Master Ping taught me carefully, and memorized everything."
"The horse that the young master will ride tomorrow has already been sent to the stables of the Hou Mansion. If there is nothing wrong, the young master can also go over to have a look in advance."
"it is good."
"If the young master has nothing else to do, the next official will return to the Supervisor of Rituals first."
Xie Bai sent the man to the gate of the yard: "Go slowly."
After the people left, Xie Bai hurried back to his room and took off the wedding dress that was tightly attached to him.
The wound on the arm has been rubbed red, you don't need to look, you can know the condition of the back.Finding the medicine bottle from the drawer, Xie Bai opened it, and applied the medicine to his arm, but unfortunately, the injury on his back was too loose, so she applied the medicine herself, and could only wipe part of it.
But it's still better than no medicine.
Xie Bai changed back into his own clothes, hung the wedding dress aside to avoid wrinkles, and went out to the stable again.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether you look at the horse or not, the supervisor of ceremonies will not play tricks on the horse - embarrassing yourself in private and embarrassing yourself in the eyes of thousands of people tomorrow are two different things.
It's like that wedding dress, thin and thin, but the workmanship is first-class and exquisite. When I wear it on myself tomorrow, no one will notice how ill-fitting the dress is, only how luxurious the dress is.
The tall maroon horse snorted and leaned in front of Xie Bai.
Xie Bai grabbed a few handfuls of horse grass and fed it, then stroked the horse's head a few times and said, "Tomorrow, brother Ma must give you a foot."
As if he understood, the horse snorted again.
As soon as Madam Xie returned to the mansion after the banquet, she heard the servants say that the supervisor of ceremonies had come and gone, so she immediately went straight to Xie Bai's bedroom nervously.
"Mother, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Has the person from the Supervisor of Rituals come?" Mrs. Xie hurriedly asked, "What did you say and what did you do?"
"It's nothing, I just came to mention something about the baby tomorrow, and I sent a horse and a wedding dress over."
Hearing this, Mrs. Xie breathed a sigh of relief, then thought of something else, and asked, "How long have the people in charge of rituals been here?"
"About an hour and a half."
"What about your father?" Mrs. Xie became nervous again, "What has he been doing for an hour and a half?"
Xie Bai was puzzled: "Father didn't show up at all."
"It's over." Madam Xie was annoyed, and asked again, "Then before they left, did you stuff the money?"
"Stuff money?"
"Forget it..." Mrs. Xie hurriedly turned and left.
Xie Bai was at a loss: The supervisor of ceremonies was ordered to do something, so he still has to pay for it?Anyway, they didn't dare to talk nonsense when they went back; besides, as long as the few people in the palace didn't like them, they would have reasons to hate them no matter how much money they spent.
Well, it doesn't matter much anyway.Xie Bai thought.
"Report to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, King Xuan, King Rui, King Huai, and King Ding," Pingyue stood under a group of people and began to report today's events, "Wei Chen went to the Marquis of Changping today and met with Lord Xie Xiaohou. .”
"how?"
Pingyue repeated every word and deed of Xie Bai.
The emperor asked: "What do you guys think of this Xie Bai?"
"Stay like a stone." This was Duke Huai's evaluation.
Ding Wang said: "Reading is stupid."
King Xuan and King Rui have the same opinion, but they just changed the way of saying it. Among them, King Xuan put it the most elegantly - dumbfounded.
After reporting to the official before, the prince didn't think Xie Bai was dumb.Xie Bai must have understood early on about such trivial things as the wedding dress not fitting properly.So, can his behavior be understood as showing weakness, showing favor, and showing loyalty?
The prince is not sure.

After Xu Yuyao finished reading it, she was a little disappointed: "Is this the only one?"

"Do not want to."
The prince hurriedly said: "By the way, the news has spread throughout the capital today."
"En?" Xu Yuyao turned to look at him.
"It's about Teng Yue and the four of them." The prince said.
"How did it spread?" Xu Yuyao was curious.There were so many things going on in the past two days, she almost forgot that Teng Yue and the others still owed ten "guests".

To the teasing of the two sister-in-laws, Xu Yuyao just smiled and did not speak.
The two of them only thought she was shy.
If the princess was here at this time, she would definitely tell the two of them: If you think too much, anyone may be shy, but this one won't.
When the child was mentioned, the two of them started chatting and started chatting all of a sudden.

Everyone was sitting very close to each other, and Xu Yuyao also heard this, and immediately felt a little upset: "What do you mean when I marry into Xie's family, and I will be a member of Xie's family in the future?"
"This..." The lady who spoke was a little surprised, and thought to herself: Could it be that there is still a change in this marriage?
"Bengong and Xie Bai got married, we two started a family by ourselves, what does it have to do with Xie's family?"
"Your Highness is right," the lady hurriedly apologized, "It was the minister's wife who made a slip of the tongue."
"Since you know you've made a slip of the tongue, then say less." After Xu Yuyao finished speaking, she looked at Mrs. Xie, "Take a step to speak."
Mrs. Xie saw that Xu Yuyao was merciless towards the other wives, so she followed in fear.
Yesterday she saw that Xu Yuyao cared a lot about Xie Bai, but as Xie Bai's mother herself, she watched Xie Bai being beaten like that - if Xu Yuyao asked her to come over, she would definitely condemn her.
"How is Ziqing doing now?"
coming.Madam Xie lowered her head and said, "Go back to Your Highness, it's much better."
"really?"
The ending sound of Shangchao carries Xu Yuyao's unique, provocative feeling.
Mrs. Xie only felt that in this summer day, it was so cold that people shivered a little: "Damn, seriously."
"It's better to be true." Xu Yuyao sneered, "Tomorrow, I will get married in this palace, and I must see a good Xie Bai!"
"Yes, yes." Mrs. Xie repeatedly said yes.
Since Xu Yuyao returned to the palace yesterday, Marquis Xie locked himself in the study for a day and a night, even if he went to court this morning, he said he was sick and did not go.I don't think I will do anything before the wedding.
However, tomorrow is going to be a big wedding, and after marriage...
Madam Xie didn't dare to think about what would happen if Xu Yuyao found out Xie Bai's secret.
"Master, the supervisor of ceremonies is here."
Xie Bai was writing at the desk when he heard the announcement from the servant outside.
After finishing the last stroke steadily, Xie Bai put down the pen: "Here we come."
A group of people came from the Supervisor of Rituals, almost filling the front hall of the Hou Mansion.
Seeing Xie Bai come out, the leader gave a salute: "I have seen the young master, Pingyue, the supervisor of the court, was ordered to come here today to sort out the wedding process for the young master tomorrow."
"Master Ping, I'm sorry."
"This is the wedding dress that the young master will wear tomorrow, and I invite the young master to try it on."
Want to try on clothes?Xie Bai had no choice but to invite him to the backyard.
Looking at the maids and eunuchs who were about to enter the house with him, Xie Bai stood at the door, blocking the way: "Don't bother, I'll just wear it myself."
"Then please hurry up, Young Master, time is limited."
"Okay." Xie Bai's temperament has always been relatively meek, even though the tone of the adult supervisor just now was somewhat threatening, but she didn't care, and still complied.
It's summer now, and the wedding dress only has one layer, but it's easy to wear.Xie Bai took off his coat, took the wedding dress and put it on himself.
However, this wedding dress was different from Xie Bai's usual clothes.Xie Bai's usual clothes are always made wider than her body, so as to hide her secret; but this wedding dress seems a little tight.
Speaking of which, no one from the Supervisor of Rituals came to measure her before, so it was expected that the wedding dress didn't fit well.It's just that the big wedding is going to be tomorrow, but I only let myself try on clothes today...
Xie Bai felt that this was probably also due to the royal order, to give himself a blow.
Sighing, Xie Bai had no choice but to take off the obscene clothes inside, found a piece of cloth from the closet, wrapped it around his chest twice, and then put on the wedding dress again.
It's just that when the cloth was close to the skin and rubbed against the wound, Xie Bai unconsciously clenched his roots.
The bright red wedding dress was a color that Xie Bai would never give a second glance to when making clothes, but now wearing it on him actually added a bit of joy.
"Young Master, do you think the wedding dress fits well?"
"Fit." Xie Bai said.
Even if it doesn't fit, it can't be said.Firstly, there is no rush to change it after saying it; secondly, this is just to show him off, if he makes a fuss, it will only make those in the palace look down on him even more.
"Then please young master, let's familiarize myself with the things to be done tomorrow with the officials."
"It's work."
Xie Bai followed the supervisor of ceremonies from one end of the yard to the other, feeling that the wounds on his arms and back were scorching hot again.
Pingyue seemed to have noticed something, and asked, "Young Lord, is there something wrong with your body?"
Xie Bai gritted his teeth, tried his best to endure the pain and said, "No, no, let's continue."
"Then the official will continue. If the young master thinks something is inappropriate, please inform the official in time."
"En." Xie Bai said in his heart: If an outspoken person believes this nonsense and really says it, the days to come will be very sad.
Followed by the inspector of ceremonies for an hour without interruption, and finally finished the main procedures for tomorrow.
Pingyue said: "Young Master, do you remember everything clearly?"
"Master Ping taught me carefully, and memorized everything."
"The horse that the young master will ride tomorrow has already been sent to the stables of the Hou Mansion. If there is nothing wrong, the young master can also go over to have a look in advance."
"it is good."
"If the young master has nothing else to do, the next official will return to the Supervisor of Rituals first."
Xie Bai sent the man to the gate of the yard: "Go slowly."
After the people left, Xie Bai hurried back to his room and took off the wedding dress that was tightly attached to him.
The wound on the arm has been rubbed red, you don't need to look, you can know the condition of the back.Finding the medicine bottle from the drawer, Xie Bai opened it, and applied the medicine to his arm, but unfortunately, the injury on his back was too loose, so she applied the medicine herself, and could only wipe part of it.
But it's still better than no medicine.
Xie Bai changed back into his own clothes, hung the wedding dress aside to avoid wrinkles, and went out to the stable again.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether you look at the horse or not, the supervisor of ceremonies will not play tricks on the horse - embarrassing yourself in private and embarrassing yourself in the eyes of thousands of people tomorrow are two different things.
It's like that wedding dress, thin and thin, but the workmanship is first-class and exquisite. When I wear it on myself tomorrow, no one will notice how ill-fitting the dress is, only how luxurious the dress is.
The tall maroon horse snorted and leaned in front of Xie Bai.
Xie Bai grabbed a few handfuls of horse grass and fed it, then stroked the horse's head a few times and said, "Tomorrow, brother Ma must give you a foot."
As if he understood, the horse snorted again.
As soon as Madam Xie returned to the mansion after the banquet, she heard the servants say that the supervisor of ceremonies had come and gone, so she immediately went straight to Xie Bai's bedroom nervously.
"Mother, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Has the person from the Supervisor of Rituals come?" Mrs. Xie hurriedly asked, "What did you say and what did you do?"
"It's nothing, I just came to mention something about the baby tomorrow, and I sent a horse and a wedding dress over."
Hearing this, Mrs. Xie breathed a sigh of relief, then thought of something else, and asked, "How long have the people in charge of rituals been here?"
"About an hour and a half."
"What about your father?" Mrs. Xie became nervous again, "What has he been doing for an hour and a half?"
Xie Bai was puzzled: "Father didn't show up at all."
"It's over." Madam Xie was annoyed, and asked again, "Then before they left, did you stuff the money?"
"Stuff money?"
"Forget it..." Mrs. Xie hurriedly turned and left.
Xie Bai was at a loss: The supervisor of ceremonies was ordered to do something, so he still has to pay for it?Anyway, they didn't dare to talk nonsense when they went back; besides, as long as the few people in the palace didn't like them, they would have reasons to hate them no matter how much money they spent.
Well, it doesn't matter much anyway.Xie Bai thought.
"Report to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, King Xuan, King Rui, King Huai, and King Ding," Pingyue stood under a group of people and began to report today's events, "Wei Chen went to the Marquis of Changping today and met with Lord Xie Xiaohou. .”
"how?"
Pingyue repeated every word and deed of Xie Bai.
The emperor asked: "What do you guys think of this Xie Bai?"
"Stay like a stone." This was Duke Huai's evaluation.
Ding Wang said: "Reading is stupid."
King Xuan and King Rui have the same opinion, but they just changed the way of saying it. Among them, King Xuan put it the most elegantly - dumbfounded.
After reporting to the official before, the prince didn't think Xie Bai was dumb.Xie Bai must have understood early on about such trivial things as the wedding dress not fitting properly.So, can his behavior be understood as showing weakness, showing favor, and showing loyalty?
The prince is not sure.
