Princess is stubborn

"What are you thinking? You have a lot on your mind." After returning home, Xu Yuyao found that Xie Bai was still in a daze.

"Don't you find it strange, Your Highness?"

Xu Yuyao asked while taking off her coat, "What?"

Although the two have been sleeping together for so many days, Xie Bai was somewhat at a loss when he saw this scene, his mind went blank.

Quickly looking away, Xie Bai forced himself to concentrate: "Why did this person come to Beijing?"

"The capital is prosperous, so it's not surprising that you come here because of the name." Xu Yuyao didn't care, "The son-in-law is still standing?"

Seeing that she was already sitting by the bed, Xie Bai walked over and said worriedly: "Don't you think it's a coincidence? When she was in Suizhou, she stole His Highness's money, and when she arrived in Beijing, she stole my money. Tonight She also went to the garden to steal money and was met by us..."

"It's just a coincidence." Xu Yuyao pulled her closer, "Are you sure you want to talk about a thief here at this time?"

"She said tonight that she knew our secret..." Xie Bai was very disturbed.

Xu Yuyao reached out and took off her hairband, watching her hair fall loose: "Why do you care about what a street thief says?"

Xie Bai watched as she finished untying her hair, and then came to untie her belt, and immediately moved to the side: "Your Highness...Didn't Your Highness say, let me listen to the story, and then tell His Highness?"

"Well, you can talk slowly for a while." After speaking, Xu Yuyao took off Xie Bai's coat, pinched her chin, and kissed her.

Lips parted, Xu Yuyao pinched her earlobe and said with a smile, "Let's tell the story tonight."

Xie Bai almost thought that something other than a kiss would happen tonight, but Xu Yuyao stopped there.

Climbing onto the bed and laying down in her own position, Xie Bai didn't quite understand why Xu Yuyao gave up and continued - didn't she always want to do that?

"What are you thinking about? Still thinking about that little thief?" Seeing that she was absent-minded, Xu Yuyao pinched her face.

"No, it's nothing." Xie Bai didn't dare to ask this question. She was afraid that if she asked, the matter would get out of hand, so she said, "I'm just remembering what story the storyteller told tonight."

"Well, remember quickly," Xu Yuyao yawned, "otherwise I won't be able to hear you when I fall asleep later."

"The memory is over." Xie Bai said quickly, "That's it."

Xie Bai's voice was soft and soft, with the clarity unique to young people.

Although the story has been heard many times, it seems to feel completely different when it comes out of Xie Bai's mouth.

While talking, Xie Bai found that the people around him had already fallen asleep, and Xu Yuyao's two white and tender arms like lotus roots were exposed outside the quilt.

The night wind was a bit chilly, Xie Bai took the quilt out from under her arms, covered it up, looked at her sleeping face, and thought about that question together.

—Why did she stop?

The night of the bridal chamber was due to her injuries; after this period of time, it was also because of her injuries; but today, her injuries have healed.

Xie Bai couldn't find a reason for Xu Yuyao to stop.

Half-dream and half-sleep, Xie Bai woke up with a start: Why do I seem to be very disappointed about her stopping?

The next day, Xie Bai was attending class in the school when a government servant came to look for him suddenly.

The master looked at Xie Bai and said, "You go."

Xie Bai went out and saw the yamen servant at the door, he was a little puzzled: "Excuse me, brother yamen servant, is there anything wrong?"

"Your son-in-law is polite," the yamen servant hurriedly waved his hand, "I can't afford to call my son-in-law a big brother. It's like this. Last night, Coach Zhao caught a small thief and went to the yamen. After our lord's interrogation, we found the stolen goods. According to Coach Zhao, this purse may have been stolen by the son-in-law before, so the little one was ordered to show it to the son-in-law."

As he spoke, the yamen servant took out a silver brocade money bag.

Xie Bai saw that it was the one he had stolen yesterday: "It's mine."

"The son-in-law, take a look, is there any money missing in it?"

Xie Bai took it, opened it and counted it: "I haven't lost a penny."

The yamen servant heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "This little thief is also strange. He lives in the best inn in our capital, and he doesn't even use the money he stole."

"Where does she live?"

"The Donglai Inn is still in the Tianzi Room!" the servant said, "But from the place where she lived, I found your concubine's purse, and the purse of Instructor Zhao was found on her, other than that , No one was stolen anymore. But you and Coach Zhao have a lot of money, I really don’t know what she stole the money for.”

Xie Bai heard from the stall owner in Suizhou, so he naturally knew that the thief was a kleptocrat, but there was no need to say this to the yamen servant, he just asked: "I don't know how the thief will be sentenced?"

"According to the law, my lord will be imprisoned for ten days." The yamen servant didn't say anything, because the thief stole the money bags of two big men, the county magistrate didn't say anything, and beat the thief ten times first.

Xie Bai nodded, and cupped his hands: "I'm sorry, the elder brother of the yamen servant brought the money bag over."

"My son-in-law is too polite, the younger one will go back first."

Xie Bai put the money bag in his arms, and his doubts deepened.

Although Xu Yulian said that what happened yesterday was a coincidence, but Xie Bai still felt that it was too weird.

Especially after listening to the words of the yamen servant today.

Although she knew that the thief's family was not short of money, but she came all the way from Suizhou to the capital, lived in the best inn, and came to steal her own purse, no matter how you think about it, it was not a simple coincidence.

Thinking of the phrase "I know your secret" again, Xie Bai was so upset that he almost answered the teacher's question wrongly.

After school, the master stopped her.

"Thank you, Bai."

"Master, what's the matter?"

The Master said earnestly: "Although you are now a son-in-law, and the Great Qi Dynasty does not allow son-in-laws to hold official positions, reading is not necessarily for the purpose of becoming an official. Today, the old man sees that you are absent-minded, and I don't know if it is because you think studying is useless, so..."

Xie Bai didn't expect the master to think so, and immediately said a little ashamed: "Where is the master, the student just has something in his mind that he can't understand, so he is distracted. But the student has never thought that he is studying for the purpose of being an official! Reading makes people feel better." Be wise, even if the students are out of officialdom in this life, the students will not give up their studies!"

Seeing his sincerity, the master stroked his beard and nodded: "With your words, I can rest assured."

Outside the door, Xu Yuyao felt thoughtful after hearing these words.

Hearing that the people inside were about to come out, Xu Yuyao retreated to the gate of the school first.

When Xie Bai came out, he saw Xu Yuyao standing at the gate of the school, with the golden chain around his waist glowing warmly under the setting sun.

"Why is the princess here?" Xie Bai took two quick steps and walked in front of her.

"It's boring at home, so I'm here to pick you up."

The words "Take you home" were like pearls falling on a plate, hitting Xie Bai's heart one by one.

"Your Highness...how long have you been here?"

"Just arrived." Xu Yuyao didn't really want her to know, he just overheard the conversation between her and his wife, just asked, "Xie Bai, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

"kindness?"

"You can't keep studying like this in this school. With your ingenuity, Master will have nothing to teach you in the future." Xu Yuyao said, "Have you ever thought about what to do in the future?"

Xie Bai really didn't think about it.

Before becoming a son-in-law, she never thought about becoming an official. After all, her secret is too big. Once it is revealed, she will kill the nine clans. So she just wants to study in the school, and then...

Then what to do?

Seeing her silence, Xu Yuyao thought she wanted to be an official, so she asked, "How much is the salary of a third-rank official now?"

Xie Bai didn't know why she asked this suddenly, but just reported the number.

Xu Yuyao rubbed her chin: "It's so few...but it's okay."

After finishing speaking, Xu Yuyao didn't explain why she asked such a question, and Xie Bai didn't dare to take the initiative to ask.

In this way, the two returned to the princess mansion all the way with their own thoughts.

It was still a night when they each fell asleep after a kiss.

Xie Bai felt that there seemed to be something strange about the relationship between the two of them now.However, it's not strange but even more strange. After all, the fact that the two of them got married is already strange enough.

Yesterday's doubts have not been resolved, and today more questions have been added, and Xie Bai is even more absent-minded in class.

This time without his wife telling him, Xie Bai simply asked for a leave of absence and returned to the Princess Mansion ahead of schedule.

However, when he returned to the mansion, he found that Xu Yuyao was not there.

"Butler, where is Your Highness?"

"Back to the son-in-law, His Highness has entered the palace."

Xie Bai's heart beat suddenly, and he asked, "But what did the people from the palace say?"

"That's not true." The steward was puzzled by his attitude, "It was His Highness who entered the palace on his own initiative."

Heaving a sigh of relief, Xie Bai said, "Then did your Highness say when you'll be back?"

"Not yet. Is there something wrong with the son-in-law?"

"I want to tell the princess that I have returned home."

The butler nodded: "Don't worry, son-in-law, I will ask someone to wait at the palace gate later, and let His Highness know when His Highness comes out."

"It's work."

After chatting with the housekeeper, Xie Bai went back to the study.The study in the Princess Mansion is very spacious, and there are many bookshelves inside, filled with all kinds of books.

The books are all prepared by Xu Yuyao, but they cover all Xie Bai's favorite readings; of course, the rest are basically the reading stories that Xu Yuyao bought back.

Today, I had something on my mind, so naturally I couldn't read those books. Xie Bai picked out a story at random, sat at the table, and read casually.

As soon as Xu Yuyao entered the palace, she went straight to the imperial study.

When the emperor came down from court, he was discussing with the crown prince and some close ministers about some ginseng books, when the eunuch said, "Your Majesty, the princess is here."

The ministers were obviously used to this, Qi Qi said: "The minister will write down his ideas in a memorial and hand them over tomorrow."

"I'm sorry, dear dear ones," the emperor waved his hand, "Go back and rest, there's no need to write the notes, we'll discuss them tomorrow."

"My minister retire."

After several ministers pushed out, Xu Yuyao walked in: "Father, third brother!"

"What wind brought Ruo'er here again?"

"I want your father to help me with something." Xu Yuyao turned to ask the prince, "Third brother, is there any vacancy for the third rank in Beijing recently?"

The emperor and the crown prince looked at each other, and asked tentatively, "What is Yaoer asking this for?"

"Xie Bai has studied for so many years, so you can't waste her intelligence just because she is married to her daughter. I know Daqi's son-in-law is not allowed to be an official, but the rules are dead, there will always be changes, right?" Xu Yu Yao had already prepared her speech along the way.

The emperor looked at the prince: you come.

The prince immediately lowered his head and said: Father, please.

The author has something to say: I have been thinking about changing my pen name for the past two days, and I am afraid that everyone will not know each other after changing it, so I am stuck_(:з」∠)_
