Princess is stubborn

The concubine Linglong thought, although she didn't know exactly what happened, but seeing Xu Yuyao's reaction, she probably guessed that the matter must have something to do with Lord Xie Xiaohou who was wearing women's clothes.

"If the two of you don't plan to talk, then I have to ask the young master to explain my doubts." The princess looked at Xu Yuyao and said, "I think that the young master has always been upright, so he must not be like that." You two are so evasive."

When Xu Yu heard the rumors, he glared at the prince, afraid that Xie Bai would really come out and confess, so he said, "It's nothing serious, but the little thief's mother stole the queen mother's phoenix hairpin back then, and came to Beijing with the phoenix hairpin to find him. Dear', I became angry after being exposed, nonsense that Xie Bai is a woman."

"It's just like that?" The princess didn't believe that things were so simple.

Xu Yuyao had no choice but to continue: "Third brother believed the thief's nonsense, and insisted on me and Xie Bai admitting this pretentious thing."

The Crown Princess naturally understands the Crown Prince very well, if it is just as Xu Yuyao said, if this little thief is talking nonsense, the Crown Prince will never get angry; the Crown Princess also understands Xu Yuyao, if the Crown Prince is really partial She believed a lie and misunderstood her. At this moment, she would never be able to sit here so calmly and say these words.

Combining her own knowledge of the two, the Crown Princess made a bold guess, and then came to a seemingly outrageous but completely understandable conclusion.

"Yao'er, do you have something to hide?"

They also felt that Xu Yuyao was controlled by Xie Bai and Xie's family, and the way the Crown Princess asked questions was obviously much more tactful.

But Xu Yuyao still didn't want to confess, and asked instead: "Why did the third sister-in-law say that?"

"Paper can't hold fire, Yaoer." The princess said earnestly, "Let's talk about the matter now, maybe everyone can think of a solution together; but if one day, the matter drags on, let's go When the situation is irreversible, it will be too late to say or do anything."

Xu Yuyao was a little shaken by what she said.

Although I don't know how the thief discovered the secret of Xie Bai's daughter's body, the crown prince is obviously convinced of the news now, and perhaps more people will know the secret in the future—before his plan started, the emperor had already Knowing Xie Bai's secret, all his plans would go to waste.

It's a small matter, what if the emperor wants to chop Xie Bai off in a fit of anger?

Seeing her hesitating, the princess said while the iron was hot: "Your third brother loves you so much, you can explain the matter clearly to him, and he will help you; even if he refuses to help you, isn't there third sister-in-law?"

"Sister-in-law San promised to help me?" Xu Yuyao asked eagerly, "No matter what?"

Hearing this, the prince cast a look of disapproval at the princess, but the princess just shook her head slightly at him.

The princess said vaguely: "Tell me first, what is going on."

Xu Yuyao realized the ambiguity of the princess, and swallowed back the words that came to her lips.

As the center of the topic, Xie Bai felt that he was simply too cowardly, and until now he was still shrinking behind Xu Yuyao, leaving Xu Yuyao to be troubled by this matter alone...

Thinking of this, Xie Bai stood up and was about to confess, but Xu Yuyao directly pulled him back.

Seeing that Xie Bai was about to be unable to hide his confession, Xu Yuyao gritted her teeth and rushed ahead of her and said, "Yes, Xie Bai is a daughter."

As for what to say after this sentence, Xu Yuyao can only say and think about it.

Even though I already had guesses in my heart, but when Xu Yuyao really said these words, the prince and princess still didn't know what expression to use to face them.

"But so what?" Xu Yuyao continued, "Whether she is male or female, old or young, beautiful or ugly, Xie Bai is the only consort I can count on."

"Yao'er, this is not a matter of beauty and ugliness..." the prince said, "Xie Bai, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

"The crime of deceiving the emperor is intended to deceive the emperor and others, so as to achieve his ulterior secrets. The person who commits the crime of deceiving the emperor is afraid that others will know what he is hiding, right?" Xu Yuyao felt that at this time, he should It was the clearest and most responsive time in her life.

The prince nodded: "Xie Bai is just like that! He tried to inherit the title by disguising himself as a man."

"Third brother's words are wrong!" Xu Yuyao continued, "If Xie Bai really wants to inherit the title through deception, how could she let me know her secret?"

The prince said angrily, "That's because she couldn't hide it anymore."

"Third brother thought, when did I know her secret?"

"Before the marriage?" said the prince, "I can only guess that it was before the marriage, but I don't know when."

"It was when I was two years old." Xu Yu Yao said, "I already knew the big secret of Xie Bai's 'crime of deceiving the emperor' when I was two years old."

The prince suddenly felt that he seemed to be mocked by her.

Sure enough, Xu Yuyao's next sentence was: "A secret that even a two-year-old child can know, is it worthy of deceiving the emperor?"

The prince felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Xu Yuyao's words, but if he asked him to say it, he couldn't tell what was wrong after a while.

"I thought everyone had already tacitly understood that Xie Bai was a daughter."

After thinking for a while, the prince finally realized what was wrong: "You also found out about this secret by accident. This does not mean that Xie Bai and the Marquis of Changping did not intend to hide it!"

"Then did Xie Bai get any benefits for concealing his identity?" Seeing that this direction could no longer be fooled, Xu Yuyao changed his mind and said, "If it is a title, Xie Bai has become a son-in-law, so naturally it is impossible to inherit it. knighthood."

This time the crown prince quickly realized: "If you hadn't chosen her to be the son-in-law, she would have cheated the title! This doesn't mean that she has no intention of cheating to get the title!"

"Taking a step back, even if the Marquis of Changping asks Xie Bai to disguise herself as a man to get the title, in the final analysis, it is the fault of Lord Xie and Mrs. Xie," Xu Yuyao continued, "It is not Xie Bai's fault. Xie Bai was at that time So young, what can she know? By the time she understands the seriousness of this matter, there is no turning back. Not only did Xie Bai not get any benefit from this 'crime of deceiving the emperor', but because of this secret in his heart, I live in fear all day, and it is difficult to choose between loyalty and filial piety."

The prince was silent.

What Xu Yuyao said was correct. Xie Bai was forcefully instilled with these ideas since he was ignorant, but no one ever asked Xie Bai if he was willing to bear the charge of deceiving the emperor.

Even so, the prince still couldn't accept that his brother-in-law, whom he despised, was actually a woman.

And the Crown Princess looked at Xie Bai with deep affection.

Seeing that the prince did not speak, Xu Yuyao said again: "Third brother, if it were you, in such a situation, would you make such a choice?"

"This..." the prince hesitated, "After understanding, it's not like there is no chance to confess."

"Confess?" Xu Yuyao laughed, "What will you face after confessing? Putting your parents in a dangerous situation is unfilial."

The prince was at a loss for words.

Seeing this, the Crown Princess said: "Xie Bai is also a poor child, there is really nothing she can do about this matter."

"However, bullying the king is bullying the king."

"I see." Xu Yuyao said, "I don't think the third brother needs to be entangled, I will go to the palace right now, and plead guilty to my father."

The prince suddenly felt dizzy: "What kind of crime did you ask for?"

"I knew Xie Bai was a daughter 16 years ago, and I have been helping her hide it for 16 years. Naturally, I am guilty of the same crime."

"Yao'er, aren't you trying to embarrass third brother?" The prince pressed his temple and sighed, "Okay, third brother will help you solve this matter."

"Third brother, are you serious?" After Xu Yuyao calmed down, she remained skeptical about what the prince said.

The crown prince nodded: "My baby sister is going to 'sin together', what else can third brother do? But, you have to promise third brother one thing."

"what?"

"Make peace with Xie Bai."

"Impossible!" Xu Yuyao refused without hesitation, "Since the third brother knows that I already knew that Xie Bai was a woman when I was a child, I should also understand that even so, I still want her to be my son-in-law. Why? Bar?"

It is because I understand that I want you to separate!The prince thought to himself: If she is a man, no matter how dissatisfied, as long as he doesn't do anything wrong to you, we can turn a blind eye, but she is a woman!

"Yao'er, it doesn't matter if something is wrong, as long as you correct it in time..."

Xu Yuyao interrupted him: "I don't think there's anything wrong with it."

"This woman and this woman..."

"Since ancient times, there have been men raising young ladies. In the past, Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty would rather break his own sleeves for a man to sleep peacefully. In the previous dynasty, men were more prevalent. How could it be so different if it were women and women?"

The crown prince never expected that Xu Yuyao's recent growth has really exceeded his imagination, and he could actually find a reasonable reason for her and Xie Bai's affair.I don't know how many books she read in private to make up for these histories.

Hearing Xu Yuyao's words, Xie Bai was very moved.She couldn't intervene before. Firstly, she was wearing a sinful body, so she must not be able to open her mouth to excuse herself; secondly, Xu Yuyao explained her for her, so she couldn't bow her head and confess her guilt, otherwise she would be ruining Xu Yuyao's whole life. Some thoughts.

Now, she finally had the chance to speak out.

"It was not my intention to conceal my identity to deceive the emperor, but I did participate and deceived the emperor. His Royal Highness is very responsible, and I am willing to plead guilty and accept punishment." Xie Bai said, "But Your Highness said that it was wrong for me to be with the princess. , I don’t think so. Men and women, men and men, women and women, as long as there is a heart, there is no difference between the three. If there is no heart, so what if it is a man and a woman?”

After the previous events, the crown prince, like the empress, thought that Xie Bai had no interest in Xu Yuyao, but now it seems that this is not the case.

I thought Xie Bai would follow the trend and agree if I came out and said that, and even if Xu Yuyao was unhappy, he would only be angry with Xie Bai who "betrayed her".But it never occurred to him that instead of happily agreeing, Xie Baifei stood by Xu Yuyao's side, looking affectionate.

"Would the third brother want to see a lover being beaten with a club?"

"How can you two have mandarin ducks!" The prince couldn't help but whispered.

Xu Yuyao heard it, and said kindly: "Then third brother, would you like to see a lover being beaten with a stick?"

"..." The crown prince felt that he would rather go back to the court and face those troublesome old men, "Okay, okay, I lost to you! It's okay if you don't make peace, but you have to agree to one condition - from tomorrow In the beginning, Xie Bai had to wear men's clothing again, and continue to maintain the appearance of a man in every word and deed."

If there were no words from the little thief today, even if Xie Bai had already put on women's clothes, everyone would not answer me and think about "Xie Bai is a woman"; Bai was forced to be helpless, which is quite pitiful.

——People are so strange. When there is no such statement, no one will think about it; but once there is such a statement, even if there is no evidence, everyone can't help but think about it.

It's as if a peony seed is buried in the soil. People may not know whether the seed is dead or alive, but they have already begun to think about the color of the flowers that will bloom in the future.

Therefore, as long as all sources of imagination are cut off, the prince feels that there will be a turning point for Xie Bai's matter.After all, it has been hidden for 16 years, and it should not be difficult to hide it for another 16 years.

Xie Bai was about to agree, but Xu Yuyao said firmly, "No!"

"Why not?" The prince was already on the brink of collapse, "You don't want to be beheaded for the crime of deceiving the emperor, do you? It's completely hidden."

"Then I don't need my third brother to hide it for me." Xu Yuyao said, "Xie Bai has been tortured by this secret and this burden for 16 years, and I don't want her to be tortured for another 16, 26, or 36 years in the future. ...Just like what the third sister-in-law persuaded me just now, a lie needs countless lies to complete, I don't want Xie Bai to live in fear that his lies will be exposed at any time in the future."

"Then you two will make peace." The prince's stubborn temper also came up at this moment, "Men's clothing or peace and separation, you can choose for yourself."

"If you can be with the princess, it doesn't matter if you pretend to be a man all your life." Xie Baiqian said.After all, it would be embarrassing to say such things in front of the prince and princess.

Xu Yuyao raised her eyebrows: "You won't forget what I said before, right?"

Xie Bai shook his head: "This moment, that moment, after all, I was the one who committed the crime first."

"Then I'm guilty of the same crime as you, what are you afraid of? I've promised you, I will definitely do it, just wait and see." After speaking, Xu Yuyao said to the prince, "I don't choose either, I will I want Xie Bai to be my son-in-law as a woman!"

"You..." The prince felt his eyes darken, and he was about to faint again, "Since you are determined, do as you please! Tomorrow I will go to the palace and tell my father that the third brother will not help you with this matter." !

"Your Highness, why speak in anger?" The Crown Princess held his head for him and said softly, "When Yao'er is sad and cries, isn't it His Highness who will be sad?"

"If I don't help, I won't help! I can protect Xie Bai myself!" After speaking, Xu Yuyao took Xie Bai's hand, "Let's go!"

"Yao'er!" The crown princess was still pressing the crown prince's head, unable to get up to chase after him, she could only watch Xu Yuyao leave, and turned to the prince, "Why bother, Your Highness?"

"You can rely on her for other things. Marriage is a matter of a lifetime. How can she be allowed to mess around?!" Is it for a tea party?"

"What is your Highness planning to do?"

"There are so many young talents in Beijing who haven't married yet, let their mothers take them and get in touch with Yao'er more," said the prince, "Yao'er has been seen by many people, maybe they won't like Xie Bai. "

"En." The Crown Princess knew very well that with Xu Yuyao's personality, it was impossible.But the prince is already in a state of desperation, she will not say these words to add fuel to the prince's fire, but just agree.

"Then it's settled. Tomorrow, I will go to the palace to report to my father, and then I can ask my mother to hold a few more banquets in her name."

Seeing that the prince was talking more and more vigorously, the concubine increased her strength: "If we will explain tomorrow, Your Highness should rest well today."

Back at the Princess Mansion, Xu Yuyao became more and more annoyed as she thought about it, angry at herself for being careless and not taking Xie Bai's worries seriously; angry at that little thief for misbehaving and thinking even worse; even more angry at the prince for wanting to beat them with a stick human shelf.

Ling Dang didn't know what happened in the Ministry of Justice and the Prince's Mansion, but only saw Xu Yuyao angrily pulling Xie Bai out, hesitating whether to ask.

Xu Yuyao was the first to speak: "Ling Dang, you go to the Marquis of Changping Mansion now, find Mrs. Xie, and tell her to come to the Princess Mansion as soon as possible."

"Here." Although he didn't know what happened, the bell still answered.

"Forget it..." Xu Yuyao stopped the bell that was about to walk to the Changping Marquis Mansion, and said to the coachman, "Go directly to the Changping Marquis Mansion."

Seeing that Ling Dang was also in the car, Xie Bai wanted to say something, but he couldn't open it, so he could only keep silent all the way, and followed Xu Yuyao to the gate of Hou Mansion.

The concierge of the Changping Marquis Mansion saw the carriage of the Princess Mansion, without further ado, he called the servant to go in and report. When Xu Yuyao entered the Marquis Mansion, Mrs. Xie came out to greet her with her maids.

"The minister's wife has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Excuse me. Mrs. Xie, take a step to speak."

Mrs. Xie was stunned for a moment, then said: "Then please trouble Your Highness to move to the study."

Before entering the door, Xu Yuyao dismissed all the maids of Xie's family laughing to death, and told Bell: "Guard it for me, no one is allowed to go near the study room without my palace's permission."

"Here." Ling Dang watched her princess enter Xie's study, thinking: This time the matter must be very serious.

Since the last time the princess came to make trouble, this was the first time she entered the Changping Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Xie asked someone to bring tea over, and asked tentatively, "I don't know why His Highness is here today?"

"Does Mrs. Xie have anything to say about the crime of deceiving the emperor?" Xu Yuyao didn't lay the groundwork, and said straight to the point.

Madam Xie was so frightened that her heart beat like a drum, and she didn't know whether Xu Yuyao was cheating on her for a while.But they have been married for more than half a month, if Xu Yuyao really discovered Xie Bai's secret, he should have discovered it long ago.

And for the past half month, they haven't heard any troubles in the princess mansion.

Why did you suddenly come here today to ask the teacher for your crime?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xu Yuyao said again: "Do you think I'm cheating on you? Xie Bai is a daughter's matter, I already knew about it."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xie quickly knelt down: "My wife is guilty!"

"Where's Lord Xie? He can't escape this matter."

"Master...Master has gone out to socialize." Mrs. Xie said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, Your Highness, forgive me!"

"Then you get up first, and wait for Master Xie to come back." Xu Yuyao shouted, "Bell!"

Bell hurriedly opened the door and came in: "What orders does Your Highness have?"

"Where did Lord Xie go to socialize?" Xu Yuyao asked Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie hurriedly said, "I went to the Mansion of Marquis Wenchang."

"Ling Dang, tell the guards to go to Marquis Wenchang's mansion, and call Lord Xie back. How should you say it, you know?"

"Servant understands." After Ling Dang finished speaking, she obediently withdrew and asked someone to go find Lord Xie Hou.

In the room, Mrs. Xie felt like she was sitting on pins and needles: When did the princess know Xie Bai's secret?Why doesn't it seem like it's too angry?Xie Bai doesn't look like he's being angered now?Why did the princess come to the mansion to ask the teacher for her crime?

One question after another made Shef's mouth dry and he couldn't stop drinking the water in his glass.

There is no excuse for drinking a cup of tea. Mrs. Xie looked at the empty teacup and didn't know whether she should refill her cup.

Xie Bai looked at his mother in fear, and still felt a little bit unbearable, but he should have expected such a day to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor.The fruit of today is nothing but the cause of what was planted in the past.

Moreover, Mrs. Xie's fear at this moment is nothing compared to the fear she has had in the past 16 years.

Before meeting Xu Yuyao, Xie Bai didn't even realize there was a problem with many things.Now once he realized the problem, he couldn't help but feel that he might really be a poor guy.

Everyone in the world thought she was the unparalleled young master, but only she knew how aggrieved she was as a "little master".

Lord Xie came back quickly, after all, Wenchanghou's Mansion is not far from Changpinghou's Mansion, just across an alley.But for Mrs. Xie, this period of time is like a year.

As soon as Lord Xie came in, he saw Mrs. Xie winking at him, but Lord Xie didn't understand.

"I don't know if His Highness asked the minister to come back, is it an important matter?"

"It's better to let Mrs. Xie tell you." Seeing Lord Xie, Xu Yuyao was not angry at all.The injury on Xie Bai's body took nearly half a month to heal!

Tiger poison does not eat its offspring, this Xie Houye is simply outrageous!

"Master, Ziqing's matter... has been exposed."

As soon as Mrs. Xie's words fell, Lord Xie was shocked and immediately knelt down.Mrs. Xie also quickly knelt down.

"Don't just kneel, just talk about it." Xu Yuyao didn't think that Xie Houye knelt because he knew he was wrong, "Tell me why you want to bully the king!"

Lord Xie raised his head and glanced at Xie Bai who was still sitting: "You don't have to kneel down!"

"Who are you calling to kneel?"

Lord Xie was dumbfounded: "She..."

"She's different from you," Xu Yu Yao said, "It's not now that she wants to kneel and plead guilty. Now it's about the crimes of the two of you. Why do you want to deceive the king?"

"It's all because I became greedy for a moment, wanting to inherit the title and the Marquis Mansion, so I came up with such a foolish trick!" Lord Xie quickly lowered his head and said, "I'm convicted!"

It was only Xu Yuyao who came here today, indicating that the emperor didn't know about it yet, Lord Xie was active and had already analyzed the general situation.Therefore, he decided to soften Xu Yuyao's attitude with a good attitude first, and try to get her to agree to keep the secret for him.

"I'm guilty, I shouldn't ask Xie Bai to disguise herself as a man to covet the title, let alone hide the princess before the wedding..."

Xu Yuyao was a little annoyed.Xie Houye's perfunctory feelings were beyond words, and his apologies were all "temporarily confused" and "temporarily greedy".

"That's all?" Xu Yuyao asked after Master Xie finished speaking.

Lord Xie thought he had admitted his mistakes in all aspects, and even offered to accept the punishment, but why didn't the princess seem satisfied?

So Marquis Xie tentatively said: "If His Highness is still not satisfied, I will leave Xie Bai with a letter of divorce. Xie Bai is a woman, and His Highness's reputation is still there..."

"Thank you Marquis, I really don't know whether you should say you are smart or stupid like a pig," Xu Yuyao sneered, "Why do you think it is Bengong who came to your house today, not the confiscated house sent by your father?" Minister?"

Of course you couldn't hold back your anger and came here to vent your anger.Xie Houye thought to himself: Is there any other reason?

Seeing that he was silent, Xu Yuyao asked again: "Do you think, since I already know that Xie Bai is a woman, why didn't everyone in Beijing know about it?"

Lord Xie Hou looked at Xie Bai's women's clothing, and said to himself: Is this still a fuss?Women's clothes are all put on, for fear that people will not know.

Knowing that Xie Houye must have a lot of thoughts in his heart, Xu Yuyao smiled: "Put away your narrow-mindedness, I will tell you straight. Father will know about Xie Bai's disguise as a man by tomorrow at the latest. At that time, father will definitely be furious. I hope that you will take Xie Bai out of this matter with a guilty heart."

Lord Xie Hou obviously didn't understand why Xu Yuyao said that.

Xu Yuyao didn't bother to explain to them, but said: "In the past 16 years, although you have raised Xie Bai, you have used Xie Bai all the time. When you want to understand that she is ignorant and disguises herself as a man, you should expect this. There is no paper to wrap fire in the world, have you ever felt guilty about Xie Bai?"

"Guilty, guilty," Mrs. Xie understood when she saw that she was still protecting Xie Bai when she was angry, so she hurriedly said, "We always feel ashamed of Ziqing..."

"You don't need to express your opinion to me. I know what you two are thinking, so I don't need to show it to me. I will save it for my father to see." Xu Yuyao said, "If you can In front of my father, if Xie Bai is saved, this palace may be happy, and Ai Wu and Wu Di will also say a few good words for the two of you."

When Mrs. Xie heard this, she quickly assured her: "Don't worry, Your Highness, no matter who comes to interrogate this matter, the courtier's wife will say that the deception of the emperor was the fault of me and the master. Ziqing was still a child at that time, and she would do nothing have no idea."

"It's best." Xu Yuyao glanced at Lord Xie who was still silent, "Master Xie, don't even think about dragging me and Xie Bai into the water. Gong still has a way to keep Xie Bai. However, when the time comes, your own head will be hard to say."

After speaking, Xu Yuyao took Xie Bai out of the study.

Looking at Xu Yuyao's back, Lord Xie Hou couldn't help frowning, and said to Mrs. Xie: "When did Princess Yu Yao become so weird? Or should I say that you are the one to blame in this matter?" Son... A good daughter is helping the flames! Now that she has climbed a high branch by herself, she is pushing her parents into the fire pit! What a good daughter you have taught me!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Xie became impatient: "You were the one who asked Ziqing to disguise herself as a man! Now it's my fault and Ziqing's fault? You are right, Xie Zhen! You, Xie Zhen He is a saint! Now that the matter has been revealed, the princess clearly has feelings for our family, Ziqing, and if you want to keep her, it’s fine if you are not grateful, but you actually turned around and shouted “stop the thief!” Xie Zhen, I really misread you!”

"Are you still in a hurry with me?" Marquis Xie didn't expect that Mrs. Xie, who had been gentle for most of her life, would dare to blush with him, and immediately threw the table angrily, "I want to see, she Yu Yao is a girl, Can I protect a person who committed the crime of deceiving the emperor! Anyway, I, Xie Zhen, will kill off my sons and grandchildren, and this Marquis Mansion can't be passed on. On Huangquan Road, the three of us are good companions!"

"Xie Zhen! Tiger poison doesn't eat its eggs, you... you are so cruel!" After speaking, Mrs. Xie was so angry that she fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

Xu Yuyao and Xie Bai who left Changping Hou's Mansion naturally didn't know what happened inside.

Xu Yuyao just asked, "Ziqing, are you angry when I treat your parents like this?"

Xie Bai shook his head: "Your Highness is doing it for my own good, I understand it in my heart. I couldn't understand it before, but now I can see it through. My father...he has never liked me. But my mother really loves me, Although in these years, there have been many times when she dared not treat me well due to my father's pressure, but she still loves me..."

Knowing that she still cared about whether her parents loved her or not, Xu Yuyao comforted her, "It can be seen that Mrs. Xie still loves you, so why don't you wait for this matter to pass and bring her to live in the princess mansion for a while? Thanks to Lord Marquis, you mother and daughter can get along well now."

Bell was still sitting in the carriage, and she heard the main point of her own princess's words with sharp ears - mother and daughter?Mother is Mrs. Xie, isn't that daughter... a son-in-law?

Ling Dang couldn't help but peek at Xie Bai: It seems like a woman!No wonder the group of people in the palace were saying in private that Xie Bai was strange and that Xie Bai had a big secret.This is really a big secret!

For a moment, Ling Dang seemed to understand what happened in the Ministry of Punishment and the Prince's Mansion today.Then this is a terrible event!Ling Dang quickly withdrew her gaze from secretly sizing up Xie Bai, watching his nose and nose carefully, pretending that she didn't know anything.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, it depends on what she thinks about it." Xie Bai said.

The carriage drove all the way back to the Princess Mansion, Xu Yuyao ordered the kitchen to prepare good wine and food, and took Xie Bai to the Huxin Pavilion.

"Why did Your Highness suddenly think of coming here for dinner?"

"Happy." Xu Yuyao asked the servant girl to pour wine for the two of them. "After this matter is resolved, you will be able to be yourself again. Isn't it worth celebrating?"

"But the matter is not over yet." Xie Bai whispered.

"You do not trust me?"

Xie Bai hurriedly said: "No, it's just that the Sacred Heart is unpredictable. I can't let go of it until it's over."

"So what about Sacred Heart?" Xu Yu Yao said, "He is still my father after all. I know him well, so I can rest assured about this matter. Come, drink."

Xie Bai clinked glasses with her and drank it all in one gulp.

Yes, the emperor is her father after all, she knows him, but she doesn't know her father.It's not surprising to say that how can such a rotten character like me, how can I compare with such a bright and beautiful her?

"What are you thinking about?" Xu Yuyao noticed that she was looking directly at him, without putting down the cup or moving the chopsticks, "I'm so beautiful that you can't look away?"

Xie Bai came back to his senses, quickly put down the empty cup in his hand, picked up the chopsticks like a thief, and almost lost his grip.

Xu Yuyao thought it was interesting, and asked her again: "Is it me, or the moonlight and lake scenery?"

"Naturally, His Highness is more beautiful." Although Xie Bai was a little ashamed, he still tried his best to overcome this embarrassment, and tried to express his inner thoughts, "Although the moonlight in the lotus pond is beautiful, in my heart, it is not as beautiful as His Highness. .”

"Is this what the sages taught you?" Xu Yuyao asked with a smile after listening happily.

"Naturally not, this is what I say from the bottom of my heart."

Xu Yuyao picked up a piece of braised pork for her and put it on the plate in front of her: "Well? If you don't take one bite of 'His Royal Highness' and one bite of 'Chen', I will believe it."

"I'm used to it, I can't change it for a while." Xie Bai picked it up and ate it.The braised pork melts in the mouth, fat but not greasy.The sweet and salty sauce seems to be sweet in my heart on this breezy summer night.

"It seems that you still talk too little on weekdays," Xu Yuyao said, "If you call me ten or twenty times a day, you will get used to it very quickly. I don't think it's better than this. Let's make an agreement in three chapters."

Xie Bai paused with his chopsticks: "En?"

"From now on, you have to yell 'Yaoer' ten times a day, and it will end when you are completely used to it and I don't need to remind you again."

"This... ten times a day, isn't that too much?" Xie Bai subconsciously licked his lower lip.

"Is it a lot? But compared to twenty times, isn't it very little?"

Knowing that if he continued to talk, he would only talk more and more, Xie Bai said: "Ten times will be ten times, then...can you change the title?"

"You can call 'Yu Yao' or 'Yao'er', you can call them ten times together." Xu Yu Yao said with a smile, "Am I treating you very well?"

Xie Bai was a little embarrassed, picked up the jug, and filled the two glasses with wine: "Your Highness, please."

"Ziqing call to listen first?" Xu Yuyao held the wine glass, but refused to drink.

"Isn't it starting tomorrow?"

"I can't shout it out once I try it once today, but can Ziqing complete it ten times tomorrow?"

Xie Bai hesitated for a moment, humming like a mosquito: "Yu Yao."

"Although the voice is not loud, but fortunately, I am happy tonight, and my hearing is good." Xu Yuyao drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, "But starting tomorrow, I will not have such good hearing."

Hearing this, Xie Bai raised his head and drank the wine, then refilled it in silence.

Xu Yuyao looked at the glass filled with wine again, and asked with a smile, "Why, is Ziqing planning to get me drunk tonight?"

"I never thought about it that way."

"Wrong again." Xu Yuyao shook his wine glass, "If Ziqing makes another mistake tonight, how about a glass of wine?"

"Dian..." As soon as Xie Bai opened his mouth, he realized that he was wrong again.

Xu Yuyao looked at her with a smile: "Drink."

Xie Bai had no choice but to accept the punishment, picked up his cup and drank it down.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will enter the palace tomorrow. When His Majesty finds out tomorrow, he may announce us to enter the palace. Your Highness should drink less tonight..."

"Wrong again." Xu Yuyao saw that there was still no wine in her glass, so he simply handed his own glass to her mouth, "Ziqing, please."

Xie Bai had no choice but to reach out to pick it up.

Xu Yuyao avoided her hand and fed her personally: "Please."

Xie Bai had no choice but to take another drink with her hand: "Yu Yao, let's drink less tonight, lest His Majesty announce us into the palace tomorrow, and still smell of alcohol."

"It doesn't matter," Xu Yu said, "whether the third elder brother goes to sue tomorrow or not, the emperor will not be in a hurry to announce us into the palace. It will be the day after tomorrow at the earliest."

Xie Bai was puzzled: "Why?"

"This kind of matter, the father will definitely ask me to go after discussing it with the third brother. Just discussing this matter is enough for them to discuss it for a day and a half."

Xie Bai nodded, feeling that Xu Yuyao's understanding of people's hearts is simply superb.

"Your Highness..."

"Please." Xu Yuyao took the jug, filled it up for her, watched her drink it up and poured another glass, "If Ziqing continues to make mistakes like this, I will wonder if you deliberately made a mistake to trick me into drinking the wine .”

"How could it be!" Xie Bai hurriedly explained, "How could I call the wrong thing on purpose, it's really..."

Seeing her serious explanation, Xu Yuyao burst out laughing: "You...then let me ask you, is this wine good?"

Xie Bai nodded honestly.

"Is that the better wine, or the better wine from Chunfenglou?" Xu Yuyao can't drink as much as Xie Bai, and now he's a little tipsy after a few drinks.

"Of course the wine is delicious!" Xie Bai hurriedly explained, "The wine in Chunfenglou, sir... I don't remember what it tastes like, but I just remember that I wanted to leave earlier."

"Wrong again." Xu Yuyao raised her chin, "I'm kidding, what are you in such a hurry for?"

"This joke is not funny at all." Xie Bai muttered softly after drinking.

The pavilion in the center of the lake was very quiet, the maid who followed seemed to not exist, only the occasional chirping of insects could be heard by the lake, Xu Yuyao naturally heard her muttering clearly
