Chapter 316: Bad Luck

This was the benefit of marrying Xin ‘an King. At least, she would get a chef that suited her taste before she got married. For this chef, she would also marry.
It would be unrealistic to find a random family in Jiankang City that could give her a complete set of chefs. They were all juniors. Who would consider her needs? She was now prostrating herself in front of Emperor Yu Heng. If it wasn’t for the fact that she was being unreserved, she would have gone over to thank him right now.
There was also a cart full of condiments.
A clever housewife can’t cook without rice. It was not easy to give the chef all the condiments for Shu dishes in Jiankang City. It could be said that the emperor had a high vision and a broad pattern. He could think of anything in people’s hearts.
“I won’t be going over to thank you. When you see the emperor, you must help me thank him.”
He could no longer hide his joy.
The princess of Xuancheng and Xiao Xin looked at each other. Why did they feel that they were happier to have a chef than to have their marriage settled? The corners of their mouths were almost reaching their ears.
After spending a few days with Xiao Ning, Xiao Baoxin had never seen her so emotional. As expected, the Emperor knew when he made a move and immediately poked her point.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for the Li Palace. Princess Xuancheng had kept him here until he could not stay any longer, and it was time for the palace to drop the key.
He ordered people to carry out the wooden horse that was freshly dug out for the baby in Xiao Baoxin’s stomach. He lifted the silk cover and almost blinded Xiao Baoxin’s eyes.
She knew that the things of Princess Xuan Cheng were extraordinary, but no matter how rich the Emperor was, he would not make it so fancy.
“Princess, this is too precious.” Xiao Baoxin, who was famous for his straightforwardness, felt that this gift was a little too thick-skinned. This wooden horse was enough to be kept as a family heirloom. If he were to give it to a child as a gift, was he not treating it as a good thing or was he treating her too seriously?
She couldn’t afford any of them.
Princess Xuancheng snorted.” Let’s not talk about this. Why wouldn’t 1 dare to accept it if I dare to give it to you?” It’s an object to me, but it’s something for the children to play with.”
Since she had already said so, Xiao Baoxin would appear pretentious if he did not respond.
“Thank you, Princess.”
Princess Xuancheng smiled and turned to Xiao Ning,”Sister Xiao, when you give birth to my nephew and niece, I’ll still be polite.”
Xiao Ning was speechless.
She was really not in a hurry.
Why was the child about to come out of her mouth before the kiss was decided?
Who would remember that she was still an unmarried young lady in Yun Ying? She did not know who her nephew was!
Xiao Baoxin didn’t want to listen to Xuancheng’s nonsense anymore. The more he listened, the less he liked Liu ‘er. He was also very happy. However, he had gotten a sister-in-law who could make Xuancheng’s heart ache. He was also confused.
However, when they left the palace, the sky was already dark.
It was still the sedan chair that had brought them into the palace, and it carried them all the way out of the palace gates.
Xie Xian had been waiting outside for a long time. When he saw them come out, he hurriedly went forward to welcome them.”Are you starving? You haven’t eaten anything for a day.”As he spoke, Qing Feng handed over a bag of green plums from behind.
Xiao Baoxin smiled. Princess Xuancheng knew that she only ate green plums, so she asked the palace maid to bring a basket over. She ate until she was about to vomit.
Before he could say anything, Xie Xian saw a tall and strong man following behind Xiao Baoxin. He was in his thirties and had a full beard. He was even taller than him by a head, and his face was glowing red. He wished his eyes could light up.
“This one?” He could not figure out what was going on. He was definitely not a eunuch. Why did he bring a man out after entering the palace?
Xiao Baoxin:” This is the chef who cooks Shu dishes in the imperial kitchen. The Emperor sympathized with Biao Younger Sister who came all the way to Jiankang. The food was not to her taste, so he rewarded her with Shu dishes.”
Xie Xian nodded. He had a plan in his heart.
The marriage with Xin ‘an King was settled.
He had a different opinion from Mother Xie. In fact, without this chef, as long as the Xin ‘an Prince still had his heart on the throne, he would not reject Xiao Huang. As long as it was not because of Cousin Xiao’s innocence, the marriage would not be so easily lost.
After all, this was not only the ambition of Xin ‘an King, but also his life.
If the Crown Prince succeeded to the throne, King Xin ‘an would definitely have no way out.
Xie Xian brought Xiao Baoxin and Xiao Lingyu back to the manor. Because it was already late, he didn’t go to Mother Xie’s place in Yi An Hall. They each returned to their own residences to rest. This was the only time they could have a hot meal for the whole day.
Xiao Baoxin had just sat down when the dishes were already laid out. Clearly, Xie Xian had already instructed the small kitchen to prepare them.
Xiao Baoxin wolfed down the meal.
“Our family will be busy.” Xiao Baoxin said.
“You don’t have to do this. I told All Niang to let Third Shen and Seventh Niang go together.”Xie Xian watched Xiao Baoxin eat, and he was even more satisfied than himself. Even if she ate in a hurry, he would feel choked.
He passed her a glass of water.” Seventh Madame is already old. She should be married next year. Let her learn how to manage the family so that she can stand up in the future.””
“Just rest well. It won’t be too late to take over after giving birth.”
She knew that she had to give way to the man in her stomach.
Xiao Baoxin rolled her eyes. She didn’t think much of being in charge of the central feed. Her goal was the stars and the sea. However, did he have to raise her belly and think that she was a vegetable basket?
You’re pregnant with everything.
“Do you think…Baoshu and Xuan City?” she asked tentatively.
“Most likely,” said Xie Xian.
Now she was at ease, Xuancheng, longing, wanting to marry us, saying that she had me to support her, Baoshu dared not bully her.”lt was inevitable that she would feel sad when she mentioned it.
“This is the first time Baoshu is so far away from home. I don’t know if he’s used to it, but don’t cause trouble again.”
Xie Xian endured it, but he couldn’t.
“The people Father-in-law sent are not only to protect Baoshu, but mainly… It was also to protect others, afraid that he would run amok in the local area. Don’t worry, I’ve also sent people to keep an eye on it.”
“The news that came back is not bad. Baoshu practices literature and martial arts every day. He’s considered hardworking, but he doesn’t seem to be working hard in Jiankang City.”
“He’s learned his lesson. He’s grown up.”
Xiao Baoxin sighed.
Boshu was wrong and changed. That was good. However, Xu Liu Niangzi did not have the chance again. She died like a lamp.
“In the future, we must discipline our baby well. We can’t spoil him. Otherwise, we’ll have to worry about it.”
“That’s right, Wifey is right.”
Xiao Baoxin had been in the palace for a long day, so the two of them did not walk in circles at night. They lay on the couch and hugged each other as they talked. They were unrestrained and talked wherever they thought of.
The next morning, Xiao Baoxin went to Yi ‘an Hall. Mother Xie had obviously received the news earlier. She was smiling from ear to ear. She was talking about Xiao Ning’s marriage with Madam Wang, Madam Yuan, and Madam Cai.
“The emperor is wise and thoughtful. Tell me, why didn’t I think of this?”Madam Wang smiled apologetically. She was in charge of the Xie family’s food, and it was her fault for not treating the guests well. Mother Xie wanted Xiao Baoxin to take over. If she were to use this to beat her up, she would have to endure it.
She had been unlucky recently.
Xie Zhao, who had just taken over, was sick again. Old Xie and the other two were worried and quarreled with her again, complaining that she was not careful enough..
