Xiao Baoxin knew better than anyone that Xie Xian valued her, but she also knew that he was not someone who could not distinguish between public and private matters. He would not forget his private affairs because of work. It was not a matter of great importance. When Xiao Baoshu returned to Jiankang, there would be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future.
She was worried that something might go wrong during the banquet.
Xie Xian gave her a calm look.
“The Rouran people are valiant, and I’m not good at drinking. After I’m truly drunk, I’ll have to be able to chat and drink with the generals of our court. I accompanied the emperor to warm up the place, so I didn’t stay long. The emperor was also afraid that the Rouran diplomatic mission wouldn’t be able to open up.”
In fact, Emperor Yong Ping was obviously overthinking.
Before he left, the diplomatic mission had already started drinking. If it weren’t for the officials from the Ministry of Rites stopping them, some of them would have ripped off their clothes to reveal their bellies.
Since the capital of Eternal Peace had been withdrawn, Xie Xian naturally could not be bothered to put on a show.
Zhuge Fu had to be mentioned. He had fought with the Rouran diplomatic corps and had some prestige. The propaganda of the Liang Empire was also very good. Although the Seventeenth Prince of Rouran looked a little anxious, looking like he was in his twenties, his etiquette was not bad at all. He was neither servile nor overbearing.
Of course, this was before drinking. It was hard to say after drinking.
Xie Xian took advantage of Emperor Yong Ping’s departure and left the banquet as well. He naturally did not like such noisy occasions.
Moreover, he had always remembered that Xiao Baoshu was going to the Xie residence today, and entertaining his brother-in-law was much more important than entertaining those diplomatic corps. He was his wife’s younger brother.
Unexpectedly, he heard Xiao Baoshu picking on him the moment he entered the door.
How could he say it? Luckily, he was back. Otherwise, who knew what his sister would say about him?
“Boshu came back very early, but because we were busy with our own things, we didn’t see him. It’s rare for him to visit today. I have to rush back no matter what.”
Regardless of whether these words were true or false, even Xiao Baoxin’s heart felt sweet when he heard them.
Not to mention Xiao Baoshu, even with a tail, he could look at Xiao Baoshu wagging behind him. He was simply too happy.
“Brother-in-law! Come, have a drink.”
Your brother-in-law can’t drink. Didn’t you hear him say that?””
Xie Xian smiled slightly. He wasn’t prepared to break this vow. Otherwise, if it were to reach the Emperor’s ears, it would become a big topic. In the future, he might even start to drag him to drink all kinds of wine.
He had heard about the way the Emperor and Xiao Baoshu drank. He could not do anything about it and could not afford to lose face.
With Xiao Baoxin in front of him, Xie Xian was much gentler and more innocent.
Xiao Baoxin thought that they would share happiness and hardship together, and also let Xie Xian see the lovey-dovey nature of Xiao Baoshu and the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng. He also felt disgusted. In the end, when Xie Xian came, the center of gravity had obviously shifted, and Xiao Baoshu’s entire heart was on Xie Xian.
The two of them chatted until they completely forgot about each other, and even the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng could not be bothered…
Xiao Baoxin chewed on the meat pie dryly. He felt that his female lead halo was not good enough. Seeing Xie Xian appear on stage, he had subdued this unruly little brother of his.
Whatever gaze the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng used to look at Xiao Baoshu, Xiao Baoshu was now looking at Xie Xian with the same gaze of worship.
Where could he reason with her…
However, it was worth mentioning that as long as Xie Xian wanted to befriend someone, there was really no one who did not like him. Whether it was his parents or his uncles, which one of them didn’t have a good reputation for Xie Xian?
Now that Xiao Baoshu was included, Xie Xian could only be said to be mighty and domineering!
During Xiao Baoshu’s trip to the Xie family, everyone praised him. He was a hero, a young Langjun with outstanding military achievements, and he was also related by marriage. There was nothing wrong with him.
Other than Xie Yan, of course he couldn’t say it.
In his previous life and this life, he actually let a young kid take off his pants!
Even though it was his little uncle, he couldn’t do it.
Therefore, the little doll was not in high spirits for the entire day. There was no other reason than that his pants were stripped!
Even Mrs. Yuan could tell that something was wrong. Her grandson was listless and didn’t look happy no matter what she said. This was not normal. Her grandson loved to hear nice things, especially when he said that he was good-looking. He was so happy that his little gums were showing. She loved hearing it.
He asked Nanny.
Nanny didn’t know why. The child was happy today and unhappy tomorrow.
But he couldn’t say that, so he could only say,””Perhaps the young master is sleepy. He doesn’t sleep well without Grandmother by his side in Rong An Hall.”
“You didn’t coax me to sleep, Madam?” Mrs. Yuan looked at Nanny.” “Furen is entertaining her brothers and the Eldest Princess.’Although Nanny was chosen by Lady Yuan, she knew who she could not offend in the manor.
Even Xie Pushe was as afraid as a tiger, how many heads did she have to stir up trouble in front of her mother-in-law?
When mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreled, she would be the first to be affected.
Therefore, even though she could tell that Xiao Baoxin and his son were not close and did not look like a mother asking about their well-being, she did not say a single word, like a gourd with its mouth sawed off.
Xiao Baoxin didn’t even need to beat him. He had already dried up the water control in his mind.
Mrs. Yuan nodded and didn’t say anything. She couldn’t ask for more. His daughter-in-law and grandson were not close because the child was sent to him. The mother and son did not spend much time together.
Occasionally, she would feel a little regretful, but more than that, she was grateful. Without such a little child, she would not have known that she could live such a rich life even if she worked until the back of her head.
Her son was more open-minded than her and only knew that Xie Yan was fated to be with her.
That’s all.
Mrs. Yuan thought that it was possible.
###
Xiao Baoxin knew exactly what Mrs. Yuan was thinking. He knew it by touching her. He couldn’t even pretend to be stupid.
She could pretend to be nice to her mother-in-law, but she really couldn’t do anything about her son. She was embarrassed to get close to a man in his forties, but he was embarrassed.
It was good enough that it was not too far away and not too close. Both of them were comfortable.
After marrying off the few ladies of the Xie family, Xiao Baoxin thought that he would be free for a few days. Not long after, it was the day when Xiao Baoshu married the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng. One was his biological brother and the other was her close friend. She had to help advise on both sides, and her life was flying.
The wedding of the eldest princess of Xuancheng had been prepared by the Ministry of Rites since the new year. It could be considered the first grand event after Emperor Yong Ping’s wedding.
The entire Jiankang City’s attention was on them, far surpassing the Rouran diplomatic mission’s visit.
Although Rouran’s Seventeenth Prince was also here to marry a princess, he could not be compared to the emperor’s sister. Especially when Emperor Yong Ping arranged for the third daughter of King Jiang Xia. She was originally just a county head, but now, when it came to marriage, she was conferred the title of princess and the title of Linhe.
Princess Lin He was only fourteen years old. She was slender and looked younger than she actually was.
Originally, he wanted to take a fake princess and let the palace maids pretend to be a princess and marry her to Rouran. However, the fake princess suddenly died of an emergency. Emperor Yong Ping felt a little scared. He kept feeling that it was a warning from heaven and should not have used the fake princess to deceive people.
However, there were only two princesses of the right age. One of them was his own sister, but he could not bear to part with her. There was also Princess Lujiang who was still useful to win over Yang Shao.
Hence, he set his sights further and went to the Jiangxia Prince’s mansion..
