Chapter 795= Hit It Off
Xie Xian and Zhuge Shu still had to attend court, so no one followed them. Only Mrs. Yuan brought a family of women with her. This matter was over just like that. There was nothing more that could be done.
The few old madams were devout, so Xiao Baoxin and Xie Wan did not bother
them with this matter.
After three days of the Ghost Festival Dharma Assembly, the Xie family stayed at Qingliang Temple for one more night. The next morning, they leisurely returned to the Xie family.
Xie Wan returned to the Zhuge residence.
Everything seemed calm.
The Pan family was not punished, and Xie Xian was not blamed. Emperor Yong
Ping treated this matter as a joke to Xie Xian.
Pan Shuo pulled Xie Xian behind his back and said,” “The emperor probably understands that this matter was started by the Prince of Huaiyang.”
“You don’t know, that night Madam Xu complained that I was too quick with my words and leaked you out. I was so scared that I couldn’t sleep for half the night and had to go to the toilet more than ten times.”His expression was still very angry.
Xie Xian sized up Pan Shuo with curiosity.
Why didn’t his stomach explode when he was so big-hearted?
“The emperor is rich in the four seas, so his heart must be broad. Otherwise, how can he accommodate all rivers?”
Pan Shuo didn’t care about that. With Emperor Epsilon’s narrow-mindedness, how could he be magnanimous when he gave birth to a son?
He had to be able to be generous. Did he have that?
Xie Xian didn’t say anything else. Pan Shuo had his own unique spiritual world that no one could enter, but that didn’t hinder anything.
As a person who could stand up and argue with the royal family for his good friend and was almost suppressed, he could not ask for more from Xie Xian.
“..Be more careful in the future. So what if he had an advantage in terms of language?”
“In fact, I’m still in the royal court. Isn’t the Prince of Huaiyang still a high- ranking official with a high salary? His resentment was not because of me. I was just an excuse.”
Xie Xian smiled and shook his head.
Did the Emperor not know where the King of Huaiyang’s resentment came from?
It was for the emperor, but he couldn’t say it directly. Who asked the tree to stand out in the forest? Wasn’t it too natural to askhim to carry the lightning. If the Emperor couldn’t even see through this, then he was really more than ten times the size of King Huaiyang.
Of course, Xie Xian was still gratified that Emperor Yong Ping could make such
a move and turn the situation around.
It was fine if he really caught him to deceive his superiors and subordinates, but if the King of Huaiyang’s thick lips convicted him, would he still have the appearance of a benevolent gentleman?
Putting aside the fact that he did not accept the tiger skin and mink skin, the envoy of Rouran had taken the path of Third Master Xie in the end and pulled him back to the Xie family.
You didn’t even enter the palace, yet you were scolded out by Mother Xie. You didn’t even take the things that Xie Xian did. You are the dignified Third Uncle of Xie Xian, so what makes you think that you can receive rewards without merit?
Couldn’t he use his brain to think about why Xie Xian didn’t accept it?
If he didn’t accept it, he definitely had his reasons for not accepting it.
The Xie family is a big tree that attracts the wind. If Xie Xian doesn’t accept it, why would your uncle accept it? Have you never eaten it or seen it before?
If it wasn’t for Third Master Xie snatching the teacup from his hand, he would have smashed it in his face.
It was too close.
Naturally, there was no reason for Xie Xian to explain the things that he had confiscated. He casually explained the ins and outs to Emperor Yong Ping. Whether he believed it or not was not something he could control.
Emperor Yongping’s face-to-face attack was a big step forward.
However Pan Shuo didn’t need to know so much. It was enough that he wasn’t being blamed. If he were to expose himself in front of Emperor Yongping, he would really be a friend who stabbed him twice. He wouldn’t be able to take it.
After the King of Huaiyang caused a ruckus at the palace banquet, Emperor Yong Ping did not punish either side. At least, he did not show anything on the surface.
However, the King of Huaiyang seemed to have realized his mistake. He went into the palace several times to admit his mistake and poured out his heart to Emperor Yong Ping. Although there was no substantial progress, he did not dare to expect that he would be able to get the Emperor’s appreciation in the blink of an eye by scolding the Emperor’s number one confidant. He would be given real power and display his ambitions. She was as obedient as a quail in Cat King Palace-Horses and dogs.
Xiao Jing ‘ai, on the other hand, had been crushed by Prince Huaiyang in front of a scapegoat at the palace banquet. His waist had been crushed and he had been bedridden for more than half a month.
In the blink of an eye, it was August, and the autumn wind was getting colder.
The Prince of Huaiyang was up to something, and he wanted her to enter the palace to accompany Empress Xiao and build a good relationship with her.
Xiao Jing ‘ai could leave the residence now, but he absolutely did not want to stay by the Prince of Huaiyang’s side. It was too torturous and annoying. The Prince of Huaiyang had no real position, so she was the only one who could avoid him and leave the residence.
She couldn’t be happier, but although Empress Xiao was pregnant, she would bleed from time to time. It was difficult to protect the fetus. She even let go of the power of the palace, letting Consort Qi De and Consort Chu assist her at the same time, while she concentrated on taking care of the fetus in Jiaofang
Palace.
Usually there was no need for the concubines to pay their respects. Other than the first ten kings who went to the Peaceful Life Palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager, the only one who could see Empress Xiao was Emperor Yong Ping.
Even if Xiao Jing ’ai wanted to see him, she had to be able to.
Fortunately, Xiao Jing ‘ai couldn’t follow Empress Xiao’s path, but often entered the palace to please the Empress Dowager.
After the death of Noble Consort Liu, Emperor Yong Ping and the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng received a lot of care from the Empress Dowager. Emperor Yong Ping’s younger brother, Prince Yuzhang, was still being raised by the Empress Dowager. Although the Empress Dowager did not manage matters and did not have much power in the palace, her status was there. It was inevitable that the younger generation in and out of the palace would go to pay their respects and please her.
Xiao Jing ‘ai had always had the nature of a’ White Lotus.’If she wasn’t up against Xiao Baoxin, she really wouldn’t use too much force. She was quite good at getting into trouble and was used to pleasing people.
In the past, it wasn’t that the Princess Consort of King Huaiyang didn’t know how to make trouble. However, without the orders of the King of Huaiyang, she didn’t dare to enter the palace privately. She only cared about pleasing the King of Huaiyang and didn’t put in much effort in the palace.
Xiao Jing ‘ai was afraid of the Prince of Huaiyang to the bone. She was almost killed by him when she was reborn. Later on, she was almost cut in half by him. Now, she was befriending the people around her, not to mention winning over some people.
Especially Princess Lujiang, who had always been hostile to Xiao Bao Xin and had a family feud.
Wasn’t Princess Lujiang’s maternal grandfather, the Zhou family, destroyed by Xiao Baoxin and Xie Xian?
That hatred was carved into his bones.
Xiao Jing ‘ai and this position hit it off. The enemy of an enemy was a friend. The two of them quickly became close, as if they were the same person. He didn’t care about Yang Shao, Xiao Baoxin was the eternal theme.
She and Yang Shao had been husband and wife before. There was really nothing to miss. They were not good things.
On the other hand, Princess Lujiang was a princess, so she could still make friends with her. At least, in Xiao Jing ‘ai’s opinion, Prince Huaiyang had at least confirmed her ability to socialize, so he was much more pleasant to her than before. This was the result. It proved that she had made the right move.
