Chapter 574 - 574: Hate to Get Married
My Ferocious Tigress Wife
Translator: 549690339
It wasnât until the day of the full moon that Xiao Baoxin felt that all his hard work had not been in vain when he saw everyoneâs stunned and jealous gazes.
As expected, she was still shallow and suitable to live under the envious and jealous gazes of others.
Xiao Baoxin thought in a vain manner. She straightened her back and raised her chin slightly. She felt that she was very reserved, but others felt very proud when they saw her.
What was there to be proud of?
Climbing up a high branch and marrying into an aristocratic family?
She got pregnant and gave birth to a great-great-grandson for the Xie family?
She was pampered by Xie Xian to the point where she tore apart her aunt, as well as those people who were dealt with because of her in the open and in the dark?
They all seemed to be worthy of pride.
â.. Ah Yan was too beautiful. Why was he so good-looking? Why donât we also get married when weâre young? When I have a daughter, Iâll marry your son, okay?âChu Lingzi did not hide her envy.
She had just come over from Madam Yuanâs place, and Xie Yan had been carried by Madam Yuan all the way, surrounded by people.
Chu Lingzi finally squeezed her way forward to take a look, but she couldnât pull it out.
Wang Qiang held her forehead, her head aching.â Youâre married too. You canât be so unbridled anymore. What would it look like if people heard you?ââ âYouâre pregnant?â Wang Shierniang asked.
âI was just saying.â Chu Lingzi shook her head.â
Alright, Wang Shi Er finally understood why Wang Qiang would say those words. Was this something a new daughter-in-law who had just married into her husbandâs family should say?
Only Xie Wan pursed her lips and smiled.
âWhat are you laughing at?â Chu Lingzi asked.
â.. Arenât you afraid that your daughter will take after her fatherâs looks?â
Chu Lingziâs face stiffened, and the corners of her mouth twitched. Therefore, looking for a husband still depended on oneâs looks. Now that she said that, she was also worried.
âThen Iâll just have a son.â âA son takes after his mother.â She touched her face.
Even if he took after his father, so what if he was ugly and handsome? Xi Si was so ugly, but didnât he find a beautiful wife like her? Unlike her daughter, who was already picky even before she was born.
Although the Xi family and the Xie family had also broken up, they were not like the Cai family who did not interact at all. Even the wives of several families came to celebrate.
However, Chief Justice Xi didnât appear, only Minister Xi brought the congratulatory ceremony.
Xiao Baoxin had been in confinement for an entire month. He was so bored that he was about to mold. Finally, he could see the light of day. His entire person was in high spirits, but even so, he could not say anything like marrying a virtuous woman. After all⦠She was also a beauty lover and chose Xie Xian based on his looks.
Xie Yan wasnât an ordinary person. He was one of the 3,000 beauties in the harem who had once been an emperor. His taste in beauty couldnât be changed.
He pretended that Chu Lingzi and Xie Wan did not hear him. In any case, the two of them had grown up together. No one could separate them. It was normal for the two of them to speak inappropriately.
The climax of the entire banquet was the arrival of the eldest princess of Xuancheng, who had come with Emperor Yong Pingâs reward. Just the golden jade, paintings, and so on that had been given were pulled into the Xie residence by two carts and more than ten eunuchs.
From the time Mother Xie led the Xie familyâs disciples to kneel and thank them, to the time when they moved the rewards into the warehouse and sent the eunuchs away, it took more than an hour.
Xuancheng had been granted the title of Eldest Princess by Emperor Yong Ping, his elder brother, during the new year. The fief had increased by another 2,000 households. Adding on the 3,000 households previously granted by the previous emperor, there were now 5,000 households.
Of course, this was a virtual seal. If it was a real seal, it would be about 500 households, which was enough. At least there was no precedent in the previous dynasties.
It was enough for the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng to be proud like a peacock, dressed up in a flamboyant and dazzling manner.
She was even more flamboyant than when the Emperor was her biological father.
She didnât waste any more time talking to the noble ladies. After meeting the elders of the Xie family, she went straight to Xiao Baoxin and naturally squeezed the others to the side.
I have good news for you.â Xuan Cheng pulled Xiao Baoxin to the side. He did not need to say anything to feel that she was full of joy. It was as if she had inhaled the legendary Five Food Powder. Even Xiao Baoxin, who had empathized with this emotion, was about to float.
âImperial Brother is about to issue an edict to summon Xiao Baoshu back!â
Xiao Baoxinâs eyes lit up when he heard that. This was indeed great news. âWhen?â
âI said immediately!â Xuan Chengâs eyes widened. Could she pull the Emperor and ask which day it was? âAnyways, itâll be soon. Brother wants us to get married next spring, so this year is for me to prepare for marriage.â
He did not feel embarrassed at all when he said this.
It was a matter of course.
âYou will be 14 next year?â Xiao Baoxin asked, did the Emperor have to be so anxious?
âI donât want to stay in the palace either.âXuan Cheng frowned.
The four concubines chosen by Emperor Yong Ping had entered the palace before the new year. The palace was completely lively. The four concubines were all more beautiful than the other. Empress Xiao was like a green leaf surrounded by four fragrant flowers.
Every day, these flowers and plants would come up with all sorts of tricks to fight for favor.
She lived in the Empress Dowagerâs palace, and every day was like watching a show. These flowers were all showing their abilities. They were either trying to please the Emperor or the Empress Dowager. Also, she, the Eldest Princess, could not stop. She could not handle these people in one day.
She couldnât wait to get married immediately, but the princessâs manor was still under construction, so it wouldnât be so fast.
âWhy donât you ask Xiao Baoshu to propose marriage to my brother after he comes back? Let me marry him as soon as possible. Iâm about to throw up when I see those concubines acting all pretentious every day.â
Xiao Baoxin:â Youâre still young. Arenât you afraid that the officials will laugh at you for being so anxious to get married?â
âI donât care about them?ââ Iâm the Eldest Princess now,â Xuan Cheng said.â Even if they want to laugh, they will laugh behind my back. Who dares to laugh in front of me?ââ
Alright, when it comes to bringing out the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng in a domineering manner, who can compete with her?
âOkay, but I canât tell Baoshu this. Heâs still young, if he really begs the emperor, Iâm afraid that if word gets out that youâre secretly giving and receiving, it wonât be good for either of you. Why donât I mention it to my father first and see what my father and mother think?â
âThatâs great.â The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng was relieved. Whatever she was annoyed with came. Coincidentally, what she was most annoyed with was what the Emperor liked the most.
She really couldnât understand the Emperor. He was obviously a smart person, but he liked to be coy, pretending to be pure and innocent like Little Lotus. The weaker she was, the more the Emperor liked her.
For example, the Chu familyâs Jiuniang and the imperial consort.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
With her superb pseudo-white lotus attributes, she left the other Shu, De, and Xian concubines far behind and took the lead.
If it werenât for Chu Lingziâs sake, she would have beaten up Noble Consort Chu every time she saw her. Her fists were itchy just by looking at her pretentious strength.
â In addition,â Princess Xuancheng whispered into Xiao Baoxinâs ear,ââI accidentally heard it. Donât spread itâ¦Your brother-in-law, Yang Shao, seems like my brother wants to give Lujiang to him.â
There was no place to talk about the chaos in the palace. Rouran had sent a diplomatic mission to Daliang to propose marriage. Princess Lujiang and Princess Xunyang were like headless flies. They had begged everywhere from the empress dowager to the empress, but they did not want to marry Rouran..
