Princess is stubborn

Chapter 30, Catch a Thief

There is no way, the emperor can only say: "Yao'er, if this rule is changed casually, what is the majesty of the royal family?"

"It's not a random change," Xu Yu Yao said, "It's my daughter who came to see Father after careful consideration."

Seeing her as a matter of course, the emperor regretted it for the first time, he seemed to have spoiled her too much.

Sighing, the emperor said: "Do you know why Daqi doesn't allow his son-in-law to be an official?"

"do not know."

"Because in the previous dynasty, a son-in-law rebelled after he gained power, and the rebellion was successful. The world was in chaos, and it took ten years to restore stability." The emperor said, "So, the founding emperor of Daqi stipulated that my father-in-law A son-in-law can enjoy the treatment of the royal family, but he is absolutely not allowed to be an official in the court."

Xu Yuyao argued: "But Xie Bai will not rebel."

"Yao'er, you know people, you know your face, you don't know your heart." The emperor said, "Besides, a teacher who remembers the past and the future should not be taken lightly."

The prince echoed: "Yeah, Yaoer, as the ruler of a country, the royal father must not bet on the whole world to bet on whether a person is a gentleman or a villain. The third brother knows that you feel sorry for Bai Caihua and don't want him It was buried, but the state owns the state law, and some things cannot be changed, but they cannot be changed.”

"Isn't it just a casual job?" Xu Yuyao asked again.

The prince said: "If you are idle, how is it different from not being an official?"

It seems that this is indeed the case, Xu Yuyao is a little depressed.She's been thinking about it all night, is she going to let it go like this?

Seeing that she was not too emotional, the prince said again: "You go back first and ask Xie Bai, if he doesn't mind, you can come to my house first and be an assistant."

"Well... I'll think about it when I go back." After Xu Yuyao finished speaking, she got up and said, "I didn't think well today, father and third brother, just forget about it."

When Xu Yuyao left, the emperor and the prince looked at each other and sighed together.

"I didn't expect that the kid from the Xie family would have such a great influence on Yao'er."

"Yeah, Yao'er has really changed too much recently."

In the past, they wished Xu Yuyao could make more progress, but now, seeing the direction of Xu Yuyao's "progress", the emperor and the prince didn't know for a while whether they should continue to let her make progress.

Leaving from the imperial study, Xu Yuyao went to the queen's place for a stroll, chatted with the queen about herself, and then left the palace.

The carriage stopped suddenly at the gate of the palace.

Bell poked his head out of the car window to take a look and said, "Your Highness, the butler is here."

Xu Yuyao raised the curtain on the car window with some puzzlement, and asked the butler who had already walked to the car, "Why are you here?"

"I have seen Your Highness," said the housekeeper, "Today, the son-in-law took leave of absence from the school and returned to the residence early."

"Oh? But sick?"

"The son-in-law is fine, but..." the steward said in a low voice, "The son-in-law asked the princess where she had gone when she returned home. The old slave said that the princess had entered the palace. The first reaction of the son-in-law was to ask the old slave very vigilantly, is there any place in the palace?" What did the person say."

"En." Xu Yuyao nodded.

Seeing her indifferent attitude, the housekeeper hesitated and said, "Your Highness, the son-in-law has something to hide from His Highness."

"You're overthinking." Xu Yuyao said unhappy, "In the future, you don't need to report this kind of thing to me. The son-in-law is another master of the princess mansion, so don't stare at her like you're an outsider."

The butler immediately lowered his head: "Here."

"Okay, let's go back." Saying that, Xu Yuyao motioned for Bell to put down the curtains, and the carriage drove slowly again.

When Xu Yuyao came back, Xie Bai's story was at its most tense.

With his eyes still glued to the book, Xie Bai stood up and wanted to come over to salute, but he tripped over a table leg and managed to stay on the table with his hands, so he managed not to fall.

"Why are you so fascinated by it?" Xu Yuyao walked over and knelt down to see if she was hurt.

Xie Bai was a little shy, and hid the leg he touched behind the other: "I didn't touch it. It's just... I took His Highness's book without His Highness's permission..."

"It's okay, the books here are also yours." Seeing her like this, Xu Yuyao straightened up, glanced at the book in her hand, "Where did you see it?"

"Seeing the female ghost, I'm going to find someone to take revenge."

"That's right. There should be a lot more here, take your time." Xu Yuyao felt that it would be good to read these idle books when she was free, but, "Why did you come back from leave early today?"

"The thief caught by Coach Zhao last night has already been interrogated by the county government today. The government servant went to the school today and returned my purse."

"Isn't that nice? The steward said you looked worried when you came back."

"I didn't lose a cent of the money in the purse." Xie Bai said, "I heard from the yamen servant that she went to Beijing to live in the Donglai Inn, Tianzi Room."

Xu Yuyao didn't understand what she was confused about: "Her family is considered a big family in Suizhou, so it's not surprising that they live in a Tianzi house."

"But she ran to the capital to steal..."

"You, you just think too much." Xu Yuyao suddenly understood why Xie Bai asked the housekeeper like that, "When we were in Suizhou, didn't the stall owner say that? She just has kleptomania. Her words, when Not true."

"But there's always something hanging in my heart." Xie Bai didn't know what the uneasiness in her heart was all about.

Xu Yuyao patted her head and comforted her, "Don't worry, even if the sky falls, I will support you."

"En." The warmth of Xu Yuyao's palm came from the top of his head, making Xie Bai inexplicably relieved.

"Have you grown taller recently?" Xu Yuyao retracted her hand, looked at her and said, "I always feel that you are taller than before."

"Is there?" Xie Bai didn't feel anything.

Xu Yuyao took two steps closer, stood close to her, and gestured with her right hand on the top of Xie Bai's head: "It's grown, now it's only a little shorter than me."

After summer, clothes become thinner and thinner.At this moment, Xu Yuyao pressed her chest against hers, and the soft touch came through the thin skirt, making Xie Bai's mouth dry.

Taking a step back, Xie Bai said, "Your Highness is taking good care of you."

Xu Yuyao looked her over from head to toe, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and asked, "Can I ask for another day off from school tomorrow?"

"doing what?"

"Take you somewhere."

Xie Bai thought for a while: "Okay."

The next day, Xu Yuyao took Xie Bai out after asking the guards to go to the school to deliver the news of Xie Bai's leave.

The carriage was driving on the stone slab street in the capital, the sound of horseshoes and wheels colliding on the slate, mixed with the cries of vendors on the street, it was very lively.

Xu Yuyao didn't say where he was taking her, and Xie Bai didn't ask either.

When the carriage stopped, Xie Bai got out of the carriage first, only to realize that it was a clothing store.

"go in."

Xie Bai followed Xu Yuyao into the shop, and the shop assistant immediately greeted him warmly: "What do you need, sir?"

"Look at the ready-made clothes first, and then order some clothes."

"Guest officer, please." The waiter looked at the luxurious clothes on the two of them, and his mouth was almost grinning. "Is it this young man who bought it, or Miss you?"

"Her." Xu Yuyao glanced at the ready-made clothes displayed outside one by one.

The guy froze for a moment: "The men's clothes are here."

"No, just buy women's clothes." Xu Yuyao was not satisfied with these ready-made clothes, "Is there anything else? The price is not a problem, the material must be comfortable, and the colors must be new."

Hearing about buying women's clothing, the guy's smile froze a bit, but this lady seemed to spend a lot of money, and to them, it didn't matter what they bought.

So the clerk led the man to the inner hall: "Dear guest, look at these? The materials of these garments are the same as those made by the wives of high officials and Mrs. Hou here."

The clothes here finally caught Xu Yuyao's eyes, he looked back at Xie Bai and said, "Which ones do you like?"

With so many dresses put together, Xie Bai was a little dazzled: "All good."

"That's all covered."

Hearing this, Xie Bai hurriedly stopped: "This is too much!"

"Isn't everything all right?"

Xie Bai had no choice but to choose carefully for a while, and chose a set of water color with dark embroidery and a set of dark bamboo color without embroidery.

Xu Yuyao looked at it, pointed to the crimson set and said, "This set is also included."

Except for the wedding dress, Daqi's clothes are not exactly red, but there are still many reddish ones.Xu Yuyao felt that on the day of the wedding, Xie Bai in red was so pretty that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

"Okay." The clerk quickly packed the three sets of dresses, and said, "The tailor is at the back, and he will be here soon."

The tailor was a beautiful woman, and the man had already told her about the situation before she came out, so he was not very surprised to see Xie Bai in men's clothes.

"Young master, this way please."

The tailor measured Xie Bai's body length and shoulder width very skillfully, and was about to measure his bust, but Xie Bai took a step back to avoid it.

"Young master, we haven't finished measuring yet."

Xie Bai looked at Xu Yuyao asking for help.

"Take it easy," Xu Yu said.

Xie Bai had no choice but to stretch out his hand and let the tailor measure the bust and waist.

After measuring the size, the tailor asked, "I don't know what style you want?"

Without waiting for Xie Bai to speak, Xu Yuyao said for her: "Nowadays, ladies and ladies who love you can wear the same clothes, and choose the most comfortable fabrics."

Rao even the tailor was surprised by what the waiter said in advance, "that lady is a rich man".

Their store is one of the best in the capital, and it is not uncommon to see rich and noble ladies in the capital on weekdays, but it is the first time I have seen such a large amount of money.

"Miss, although it is a summer dress, the fabrics in our store are not cheap..."

"En." Xu Yuyao nodded, "Which of you will settle the score?"

The clerk hurried to the front to get the abacus, clacked a dozen, quoted a price, and said, "Just give me a deposit first."

Xu Yuyao directly took out a bank note and paid in full.

After the guy was surprised, he quickly realized: "I don't know where your Hakkas live. I'll send them to you as soon as the clothes are ready."

"Princess Mansion."

After Xu Yuyao took Xie Bai away for a long time, the clerk and the tailor came back to their senses: "Now in Beijing, the only one that can be called the princess mansion is...that one, right?"

Although there is still a eldest princess in Beijing, she is a low-key person, and there has been little discussion among the people.

"That's right. So that son-in-law just now is the son-in-law?"

"The princess brought her son-in-law here... to buy women's clothes?"

"Why does Your Highness suddenly want to take me to buy women's clothing?" After holding back the question, Xie Bai finally asked when he returned to the residence and there was no one else around.

"Haven't you been worried these days, afraid that your secret will be exposed?" Xu Yuyao explained, "Why don't you wear women's clothing from time to time, and everyone will see it for a long time, and it will be no surprise. , if the secret is really revealed one day, maybe everyone will take it for granted."

Although this theory sounds a bit whimsical, Xie Bai felt that Xu Yuyao's words were inexplicably convincing.

And, she seemed to be thinking of herself all the time.

Xie Bai couldn't tell the name of the emotion that came out of her heart at this moment, but she had already made a conscious decision with her actions.

The moment she was kissed, Xu Yuyao almost thought she was dreaming.

Xie Bai didn't know where he got the courage and shame, once he kissed Xu Yuyao's lips, he did what Xu Yuyao did to him before, prying open her lips and teeth, plundering her breath.

This was the first time Xie Bai took the initiative, Xu Yuyao simply let her lead the kiss.

Probably Xie Bai is indeed a very good student, even if it is the first time to take the initiative, he is very skilled.

When the two separated, Xie Bai's clothes had already loosened.

"Unfortunately, it's in the study." Xu Yuyao wrapped her fingers around Xie Bai's belt, and there was still a faint color of water on her lips.

Xie Bai was still somewhat embarrassed. With 16 years of "sage" education, she is always bound by those conservative ideas in matters of love.

This is still different from those sanctimonious men.They read the sages on the surface, but they still don't change their faces about those love affairs behind their backs.

That's why Xu Yuyao said that she was the only true gentleman in the capital.

But Xu Yuyao's magnanimity made Xie Bai envious.

Gathering up his courage, Xie Bai said: "If His Highness wants to, there is still time to go back to the bedroom."

Xu Yuyao never thought that such words would come out of Xie Bai's mouth, and burst out laughing.

Xie Bai's smile washed away the courage he had gathered so hard, his ears turned red immediately, his eyes didn't dare to fall on her face, and he dodged around.

"Xie Bai, let me ask you." Seeing her like this, Xu Yuyao restrained her smile and asked seriously, "Why did you kiss me?"

Xie Bai also never expected that after kissing someone before he realized it, he would be asked "why" by the other party.

Why didn't I know that I asked Xu Yuyao this question instead of the guest?

——Oh, Xu Yuyao might be eager for her to ask.

In fact, Xie Bai understood why he did this in his heart, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them no matter what.

So Xie Bai practiced Tai Chi and said: "Why did Your Highness kiss me, I will why...why kiss Your Highness."

"Oh? Then I don't know why I kissed you." Xu Yuyao was confident.

Xie Bai stopped.How could she forget? Xu Yuyao can never be deduced according to common sense.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xu Yuyao simply said coquettishly: "I don't care, I just want to hear from you."

Xu Yuyao acted coquettishly, completely different from her usual domineering manner, her tone was soft, like a kitten.

Xie Bai opened his mouth and found that he still couldn't say those four words.

A bell knocked on the door outside and said, "Your Highness, son-in-law, it's time to eat."

Heaving a sigh of relief, it was the first time that Xie Bai was so grateful for Bell's arrival.

Xu Yuyao was not so happy: "She has lost her reward this month."

Fortunately, it was a silver reward, Xie Bai thought to himself: If Ling Dang was involved and deducted his monthly salary, it would be a crime.

The bell outside the door didn't know that his reward for this month was gone. Hearing that there was no response from inside, he knocked on the door again: "Your Highness?"

"Understood." Xu Yuyao finished speaking angrily, and turned to Xie Bai, "Sooner or later, I will let you say it yourself."

Following Xu Yuyao, Xie Bai looked at her back and felt for the first time that being too thin-skinned is not a good thing.

After all, she also wanted to tell her her own heart.

Ever since Xie Bai took the initiative to kiss Xu Yuyao, Xu Yuyao is not as fond of kissing her as before.It was as if he was waiting, waiting for Xie Bai to take the initiative again.

But since that day, Xie Bai seemed to be discouraged, as long as he met Xu Yuyao's eyes, he moved away directly.

Not to mention Xu Yuyao, Xie Bai was also very dissatisfied with his behavior.Obviously he wanted to express his inner thoughts, and obviously wanted to make a change, but when it came to a critical moment, he shrank back into his shell like a snail touched by an external force.

But apart from not kissing as frequently as before, Xu Yuyao is still the same as usual, and even developed the habit of picking her up and going to and from school every day.

The school was on holiday that day, and Xu Yuyao was taking Xie Bai on a tour of the lake to pick lotus seeds. The porter over there reported that a clothing store had set up a clothes shop and sent a wagon full of clothes, and asked if it was wrong.

When Xu Yu heard the rumor, he quickly asked the guards to row the boat back to the shore: "Ask them to bring everything in."

The concierge was a little helpless: "There are a lot of things, where should I send them?"

"Put it in the front hall first."

The concierge hurried back all the way and asked someone to bring the things in.

When Xu Yuyao dragged Xie Bai to slowly arrive, including the concierge and shop assistants, they only evacuated one car in total.

Xu Yuyao opened a box casually, and looked at the clothes inside. The fabric and sewing were very good, and it was worthy of the name of this shop.

By the time the two carriages were emptied, the front hall had been packed to the brim, and there was no room left for them to set foot.

The shop assistant said: "All the clothes His Highness ordered are here."

"It's work."

"Our boss said that in order to prevent mistakes, the patterns of the clothes are placed in each box for comparison. If there are mistakes, His Highness can send someone to the shop to look for us."

After hearing this sentence, without Xu Yuyao's words, the housekeeper stepped forward and offered a reward.

The buddy who took the reward was so happy from ear to ear, he hurriedly thanked him.

"Caomin retire."

Xie Bai looked at the boxes in this place, and couldn't help but start to worry: "Your Highness, where should we put so many boxes?"

"There are a lot of empty rooms in the house." Xu Yuyao said, "You pick out the ones you like and put them in the bedroom, and the rest will be sent to the empty rooms first."

Xie Bai felt even more worried about choosing the one he liked from so many boxes, after all, each set was exquisitely crafted and beautifully styled.

Finally, Xie Bai casually opened a few boxes: "That's all."

The housekeeper thought that Xu Yuyao had bought them for him, so he didn't care. He just sent the ones picked out by Xie Bai back to the bedroom, and put the rest in the empty warehouse.

It wasn't until the next day that the housekeeper finally realized something was wrong when he saw that the clothes he asked the maid to send back to Xu Yuyao's bedroom yesterday were worn by another person.

"Consort?" the butler tentatively asked the man in front of him.

The last time Xie Bai wore Xu Yuyao's clothes was before he got married, and the housekeeper hadn't entered the mansion at that time, except for the guards, the crown prince, the princess concubine and people from the Changping Marquis mansion, no one else had ever seen him.

"En." Xie Bai was still embarrassed when he met the questioning eyes of everyone around him.

"My son-in-law, this is..." The housekeeper's expression was indescribable, and he hesitated, "What are you doing?"

Xu Yuyao came out from behind Xie Bai and said, "This is my punishment for her."

Xie Bai turned his head in surprise, only to meet Xu Yuyao's firm eyes.

The housekeeper immediately lowered his head: "This old slave is going to prepare a car for His Highness and the son-in-law."

After the housekeeper left, Xu Yuyao looked at Xie Bai and said, "I still like that scarlet suit."

"That set... the size of that set is not very suitable." Xie Bai said.For her, scarlet color is too showy, and she doesn't have the courage to wear it.

The other two sets of ready-made clothes were really different in size. After buying them and trying them on, they were taken away to the warehouse.

Xu Yuyao rubbed her chin and said, "I'll come back later, and I'll go to the warehouse to pick and choose."

This was the first time that Xie Bai went out to meet other people in women's clothing - the last time it was not considered meeting outsiders, and Xu Yuyao didn't let her go to school, but went to the street to wander around and get used to it first.

After all, there are not many small merchants and hawkers on the street who know the princess and the son-in-law, so everyone will only go out as the two young ladies of which family.

Xu Yuyao and Xie Bai went to the busiest street in West City without bringing too many guards, only Bell and a guard to drive the car.

But because of the excitement, the carriage couldn't get in, so it had to stop at the street corner, and Xu Yuyao and Xie Bai could only walk in.

Looking at the somewhat crowded street, Ling Ding curled her lips: "There are so many people here, why does Your Highness want to come here?"

"Just follow along, don't talk."

"Here." Ling Dang felt aggrieved.

Ever since her own princess got married to Xie Bai, she always went to some weird places. She even went to a brothel in Suizhou before!

Those men always talk about beauty troubles, but in her opinion, the man Xie Bai is the real trouble.

Previously, His Royal Highness actually went to the palace to apply for an official position for Xie Bai. Ling Dang felt that sooner or later, His Royal Highness would be tricked to death by Xie Bai.

Xie Bai also knew that Xu Yuyao wanted to apply for an official position for him before, and he also heard that Xu Yuyao said that the prince wanted him to work as an aide in the prince's mansion.

At that time, she said that she would think about it again, but after so many days, she still didn't think about it.

Originally, she didn't want to enter the officialdom at all.Officialdom eats people's land, and she is burdened with the burden of bullying the emperor, and she wishes to stay as far away from there as possible.

But during this period of time, Xu Yuyao's kindness to her made her feel that if she was just an idle son-in-law, she seemed to have failed Xu Yuyao's expectations of her.

Two resisting emotions have been entangled in her heart.But Xu Yuyao was not in a hurry to answer, Xie Bai seemed to be evading, and did not bring up the matter again for a long time.

"Sorry." Just as Xie Bai was in a daze, he realized that he had bumped into someone, so he quickly apologized and stepped aside.

Xu Yuyao glanced at her and pulled her towards him.

However, after walking a few steps, Xie Bai suddenly realized: "Oh no, that person was a thief just now!"

As soon as Xu Yuyao heard it, he immediately asked the guards to chase him.

Fortunately, there were many people on this street, and the thief was brought back by the guards before he ran far.

Seeing the person brought over by the guards, Xie Bai's face immediately turned pale.

Seeing this familiar face, Xu Yuyao became angry: "Send her to the Ministry of Punishment, and I will personally watch her trial!"
