“I’ve troubled sister-in-law for my matter.”Xiao Ning understood the twists and turns.
Xie Xian treasured this sister-in-law. If it wasn’t for Mother Xie, she wouldn’t have let her daughter-in-law get involved in this mess. She had to accept this favor.
“What are you talking about? Originally, 1 was on good terms with Princess Xuancheng and should have walked around more. It’s just that it’s not convenient for her to come out in the palace, and I’m newly married.”Xiao Baoxin didn’t care.
“If it wasn’t for this decree, 1 don’t know when we would have met. I would have been kept in captivity in the Xie residence. You don’t know what kind of life I’m living now.”
She was convinced. Did she think she was so lethal?
Xiao Ning couldn’t help but laugh.” That’s because my family values my sister-in-law.”
That was because she valued the child in her stomach. Xiao Baoxin pursed his lips and held back from revealing the truth. She was purely noble because of her son.
Emperor Yu Heng sympathized with Xiao Baoxin’s pregnancy and specially rewarded a sedan chair to carry the two of them into the palace. The two of them chatted casually in the sedan chair.
Xiao Ning was wearing a lake green short-sleeved shirt, a long bat-patterned dress, and an orange belt that reached the ground. Her hair was combed into a bun, and she was lightly applied with a thin layer of powder. It was obvious that Xiao Ning knew her own appearance very well. She did not put on heavy makeup to highlight her appearance, but tried to be dignified and elegant.
Although it was meticulously dressed up, it did not give off an overly forceful or gaudy feeling.
However, Xiao Ning’s appearance and bearing were not outstanding in Jiankang City, especially when the royal family was a place of competition. It was not necessarily possible to appreciate her inner beauty.
Just as Xiao Baoxin had expected, when they went to pay their respects to Empress Dowager Pan before they saw Princess Xuancheng, Empress Dowager Pan’s expression that was difficult to describe in a few words was clearly displayed.
Although Empress Dowager Pan was born in the palace, she was a commoner. She was chosen to enter the palace because of her beauty. She was not favored by the former emperor at all. She could not see the emperor a few times a year, nor did she have the chance to participate in high-level palace fights. Later on, Emperor Yu Heng was sent to the vassal territory more than ten times. She thought that she could not be favored by the emperor, so she begged the imperial edict to go with her son. If it was not for the deposed emperor killing the emperor and killing his own brothers, Emperor Yu Heng had no choice but to raise an army and respect her as the empress dowager. She would have been her idle mother-in-law in the back of the palace for the rest of her life.
Speaking of Empress Dowager Pan, she was far inferior to the matron of the aristocratic families of Jiankang City who had been nurtured for many years.
Emperor Yuheng was especially filial, and Empress Dowager Pan’s life was smooth sailing. She became more and more innocent and genuine. If it were any other aristocratic family’s matriarch, she would not reveal the truth so openly at first sight.
Compared to Empress Dowager Pan, Prince Xin ‘an, who had paid his respects to Empress Dowager Pan, appeared much more appropriate. At least, there was no sign of satisfaction on his face.
It could even be said that they had a good chat. They even used Princess Xuancheng as an excuse to chat with Xiao Ning and find some excuses for Princess Xuancheng.”.. Relying on the love of her father and grandmother, Xuan Cheng was sometimes arrogant, but she was pure and kind and did not have any bad intentions. She was also very compatible with Madam Xiao. Lady Xiao and Madam Xiao are on good terms, so there must be something extraordinary about them. Lady Xiao is also a person of temperament, but there are not many people who can enter her eyes. You and Xuancheng should also be on good terms.”
Xiao Baoxin couldn’t help but look at Xin ‘an Prince. She hadn’t seen him since Liu Guifei’s death.
In fact, before Noble Consort Liu died, she had only seen him once, but that time, the impression was too deep. They were both wary of each other and did not like each other.
At that time, he was in high spirits and did not care about the looks. He was very honest.
Seeing him today, it was obvious that he was much more shrewd. Not only did Xie Xianyan say that he was quite like his father, but he was much more tactful now.
“The Six Kings praise you too much.” Xiao Baoxin replied,
Others might not know, but she was very clear that the Xin ‘an Prince was only doing this for Xie Xian’s sake. If he could use the Xie and Xiao families, he would have looked down on her in the past. He was wary of her like a ferocious beast, afraid that Noble Consort Liu would not take it easy and take her as her daughter-in-law.
Noble Consort Liu had taken a liking to him, but she had to take a liking to him too. He was a little brat who was still wet behind the ears.
Now, he was praising her like a flower.
“What praise? Who doesn’t know that Madam Xiao is a sentimental person?”When Princess Xuancheng heard the news that Xiao Baoxin had entered the palace, she also rushed over and happened to hear the news.
When he saw Princess Xuancheng again, she was much more beautiful and flamboyant than before. She was completely different from the dispirited state after Noble Consort Liu’s death.
After meeting Empress Dowager Pan, she sat down next to the Xin ‘an Prince, facing Xiao Ning. Before she could even open her mouth, her smile suddenly froze on her face and she subconsciously looked at the Xin’ an Prince.
Her reaction was even more straightforward than Empress Dowager Pan’s.
Obviously, he knew that Xiao Ning was the noble lady that the Xin ‘an King wanted to see, but he didn’t know that she looked like this.-It was inconspicuous and did not even have the time to hide it. Princess Xuan Cheng was still that princess.
Xin ‘an King did not sit any longer. There were so many young ladies that he could not sit any longer. After a while, he took his leave.
Although Empress Dowager Pan was surprised by Xiao Ning’s plain appearance, she still rewarded her with a sheep-fat jade hairpin. The lower layer had simple branches and leaves, and the upper layer had two flower branches. The workmanship was extremely exquisite. If they succeeded, it would be very auspicious. If they failed, it wouldn’t seem too grand.
Xiao Ning quickly thanked him.
“You’re really lucky. You’re pregnant after just a few days of marriage.”Empress Dowager Pan was a stunning beauty herself, so she valued color even more. She felt comfortable looking at Xiao Baoxin, and she was also the wife of her son’s important official. Her original good impression of Xiao Baoxin also doubled. Coincidentally, Xiao Baoxin was pregnant, so she rewarded him with a gold earring inlaid with turquoise and pearls. It was exquisite and gorgeous.
“That’s right. You’re too fast.”Princess Xuancheng was happy for her. “When I was young, my father ordered a skilled craftsman to make me a wooden horse. 1 used to be cute and playful. When I heard that you were pregnant, I ordered someone to find the wooden horse. When you leave the palace, you can bring it back.”
It was obvious that he was so sincere that he even took out his many years of collection.
“It’s too early.” Empress Dowager Pan smiled.” However, you’re thoughtful. Back then, you didn’t even let Little Six touch you. After complaining to the Emperor, you still wanted to complain to me again. It’s hard for you to bear it now. I’ll just treat it as a dowry for you to bring to your in-laws ’family.”
It was not an ordinary wooden horse. The horse’s eyes were made of Hetian’s black jade. The jade and gold inlaid on its body were enough for ordinary people to live a carefree life.
It was true that Xuancheng was arrogant and spoiled, but people who looked at each other were really sincere. Empress Dowager Pan saw this advantage of hers, so she thought more highly of her. This child had the heart of a child, and she was hundreds of times better than those in the palace who were well-spoken and glib.
“The princess’s things are not ordinary. 1 thank the princess in advance.”Xiao Baoxin didn’t give in.
Empress Dowager Pan burst into laughter. She finally understood why these two ladies could play together. They didn’t even know how to be polite..
