Chapter 134: Chapter 134 Teaching Her Daughter Well
Translator: 549690339
Xiao Baoxin had made up his mind that he would not give in. She was still young and inexperienced to play insinuation with her, and she was also young. She did not understand.
The Eldest Princess had lived for so long, but she had never seen such a daring wife. She actually dared to go against the princess of the royal family, holding the jade pendant without letting go. With that posture, those who did not know would think that she was holding a rare and precious treasure in her hand.
She felt guilty. It was just an ordinary jade token, so it was worth it.
“Stop fooling around, Angie. If you really want it, you can have it in the library, but don’t scare the little girl.”
If it was on a normal day, Princess Anji would not do anything when the Eldest Princess had spoken. She would just follow the lead and be done with it. However, the person she was facing was Xiao Baoxin. If she retreated, it would really be a joke.
What was it? Great General Xiao’s victories had made Xiao Baoxin so arrogant and despotic that he didn’t even put the princess in his eyes?
“I like this one.” Angie looked at Xiao Baoxin with a half-smi!e.”Lady Xiao, why haven’t you seen anything good?”
Xiao Baoxin smiled and pulled the jade token back from Princess Anji’s hand with a strong force. He raised his hand and tucked it in his chest.
“Yes, jade plates are easy to find in the world, but this is a gift from the Eldest Princess to this minister’s daughter. This kind of intention is rare and precious, so this minister’s daughter should keep it well to not let down the Eldest Princess ’intentions.”
“Thank you, Eldest Princess.””
However, the Eldest Princess’s eyes were wrinkled.”Lady Xiao is so sweet. Madam Xie, you’ve taught your daughter well.”
Everyone: Madam Xie has taught her daughter well?
Eldest Princess had never heard of the reputation of Xiao Baoxin and his siblings, or was she mocking people here?
“How could this official’s wife be as good as Eldest Princess said? The main thing was that the auntie herself was a good person at coaxing people.”Of course, she knew how to make people angry. Madam Xie chewed on these words tightly and didn’t spit them out. She also knew how to make her daughter proud.
Everyone was truly convinced. One really dared to say it, and the other really dared to admit it. She was so confident that she thought she was praising her daughter.
Other people might not know about her daughter, but how could she not know about it? His reputation was already ruined, yet he was still pretending to be humble here. Did he not understand what was being said? He really knew how to climb up the ladder.
Princess Anji’s eyes were filled with a cold light. She did not believe that Xiao Baoxin was completely unaware. Looking at her determined gaze…This was definitely something he knew.
She had wanted to show her strength and relieve the bad luck in her chest, but she did not expect Xiao Baoxin to be so bold that he did not back down in front of the Eldest Princess. He turned his hand and flattered the Eldest Princess, making her smile brightly. However, Princess Anji could not follow suit. Others would laugh at her and say that she was bullying the little girl.
Alright, as long as you have the guts to play with her. She wanted to see how long Lady Xiao could be tough!
“Yes, I also like Lady Xiao’s straightforward personality. She doesn’t have so many twists and turns. It’s not that I want to say it, but I’ve only seen such a young lady who dares to snatch things from me.”
“You’re only in your twenties, what are you showing off for?” In the future, you’ll probably see even more.”His words were meaningful.
Princess Anji smiled brightly.” Aiya, Aunt, I’m a junior to you. Aren’t I an elder among a group of young ladies? I’ll just show off.”
“I like Lady Xiao and am teasing her.”She went forward and touched Xiao Baoxin’s face. She had the urge to scratch his face. It would be even better if she could take off the skin and stick it on her face.
“Don’t take it to heart.”
Xiao Baoxin, who had perfectly received Princess Anji’s voice, could not help but shudder. This fellow was so ferocious. Cherish life and stay away from evil.
“This official’s daughter doesn’t dare. The princess has a straightforward and magnanimous personality and will not stoop to this official’s daughter’s level, so this official’s daughter dares to be willful for once.”Xiao Baoxin raised an extremely humble and kind smile. She knew how to be sarcastic, insinuate, and distort black and white.
It would depend on the occasion and the moves used.
Princess Angie heaved a sigh of relief.
“.. I heard that you and the Xingping County Lord have always been close sisters. Why didn’t you come anywhere today?”
Everyone was chatting in twos and threes, but since Princess Anji personally came down, these people pricked up their ears and paid attention to the movements here at all times. When they heard Princess Anji mention Xingping County Head, everyone was excited.
The news that Xiao Jing ‘ai had requested the Emperor to issue a decree to bestow a marriage did not spread in the marketplace. After all, there were a few people present at the time, so no one dared to spread the news.
However, Pan Shuo couldn’t stop the news from spreading to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager then told the Emperor, and the Emperor then told Imperial Concubine Liu. Once Imperial Concubine Liu knew, the entire palace knew. Then, the news spread from top to bottom in the aristocratic circle. At this time, there were very few people who were qualified to take a seat at the Eldest Princess’s banquet who didn’t know about it. It had become the iconic joke of the aristocratic circle. Stealing her future brother-in-law was really something to be proud of.
When he heard Princess Anji mention Xingping County Head, he knew that this guy had bad intentions.
Princess Anji’s several requests for marriage to Xie Xian had become a laughing stock. Hating marriage was not so hateful. Her husband had only died for less than a year and was already so lonely that it was rare in the world.
Princess Anji pointed her sword at Xiao Baoxin. It was definitely related to the scandal between Xiao Baoxin and Xie Xian.
When it came to the scandal between Xiao Baoxin and Xie Xian, although Xie Xian had come out several times to clarify it and had also used his son to punish the brothers Xi Eighth and Xi Jiu, causing the previous dynasty to become much quieter, it could not stop the women in the back residence from spreading the news.
An explanation was equivalent to a cover-up. It would be strange if anyone believed it.
Therefore, when Princess Anji and Xiao Baoxin appeared at the banquet of the Eldest Princess of the Xu Manor, all the madams and wives had already quietly prepared melon seeds and waited to watch a good show. The gossiping fire of the onlookers was burning.
They were all figures in the limelight of Jiankang City. This melon would not be small.
“Xingping County Head naturally came with my daughter’s aunt. “Xiao Baoxin retorted indifferently, completely ignoring her.
The news of Xiao Jing ‘ai snatching Yang Shao had already spread throughout the noble circle of Jiankang City. Even Xiao Jing’ ai didn’t need to act like a sister at this time. Everyone knew that it was fake.
Just then, Madam Xiao arrived with Xiao Miarong.
Xiao Baoxin went back to his seat.
The person who came first had to pay his respects to the Eldest Princess and congratulate her on her birthday. At this moment, Princess Anji couldn’t pull Xiao Baoxin along to ‘chat about home’. She coldly glanced at Xiao Baoxin and slowly sat back down beside the Eldest Princess.
A temporary truce.
The Eldest Princess was a kind old lady and also gave Xiao Miaorong a jade token. Madam Xiao then led Xiao Miaorong to sit next to Madam Xie. Afraid that she would be rebuffed in public, she did not dare to speak to Madam Xie.
The main hall was filled with guests who came in one after another to pay their respects to the Eldest Princess..
