Chapter 968: 968-Proposing

Madam Wang dragged her heavy footsteps away. She was not as light as when she first arrived. Instead, it was as if she had suffered in Rong An Hall.

Xiao Baoxin smacked his lips, not understanding what Madam Wang meant this time.

Did he really want to torture Xu Erlang, or was he tough on the outside but soft on the inside?

Fortunately, she never thought too much about the troublesome things. Since the third branch had something to say, she did not care how true or false the words were. She listened to them truthfully and did not reveal a single word.

He didn’t need to waste any extra effort.

She had never been a meticulous person, so she knew her limits. It was not good for her to try to figure out other people’s thoughts on her own. In the end, if she tried again, it would be a waste of effort.

The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng arrived not long after. It was less than half a cup of tea’s time before Madam Wang left.

She was more than eight months pregnant, and her stomach was two times smaller than hers. However, her complexion did not look any better. Even a thick layer of powder could not hide the dark circles under her eyes.

This wasn’t the eldest princess ‘first child, but the morning sickness was unprecedentedly serious.

He vomited everything he ate and smelled.

He didn’t dare to practice any martial arts anymore. He was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to recover after resting.

“Big lady.” Princess Xuancheng’s face was full of fatigue. Her body was tired, and her heart was tired. The girl in her stomach was not like Xiao Baobang, who was herding sheep and eating grass. Giving birth was like playing with her. It was too torturous. The morning sickness was getting better. As the pregnancy progressed, she could not sleep well at night. She had to treat her at least three or four times a night. Sleeping all night was a luxury.

If it wasn’t for his younger brother, he wouldn’t have woken up so early, dressed up, and taken such a long car ride to Wuyi Alley. It gave her a headache.

“You…Are you alright?”

Envy, jealousy, and hatred. Looking at her radiant face and then looking at her own size, one had to compare people to death and goods to throw away.

“It’s pretty good. You don’t look well. Why haven’t you slept well recently?”Xiao Bao is faithful and faithful, and his son is a traitor.

The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng was heartbroken.

“Being pregnant with this child is tormenting me to death. I can’t eat well or sleep well…Mother said that in the future, she might just be like you, big lady. She would be noisy, energetic, and never stop.”

Xiao Baoxin chuckled. She believed him.

Although Xie Furen was not in Jiankang City and had gone to take care of her father early, Xiao Baoxin and the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng’s pregnancy was a big matter that no one had hidden. They had long sent a message to Xu Prefecture.

Madam Xie sent letters to Jiankang City one by one, often in pairs to the Xie and Xiao families. Every time, she would write seven or eight chapters.

It wasn’t the first time that she had said that she could do whatever she wanted in a letter.

Xiao Baoxin thought to himself,’Whatever I want, isn’t that good?’

She had to be good-looking, good-looking, and lucky. She had to marry a man who was talented (wealthy), good-looking, and treated her like a treasure. Let her be. That was a blessing.

“When mother was pregnant with me, I also seemed to be quite noisy.”

The meaning behind his words was that of approval, pride, and pride.

The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng,”What are you so proud of?”

Isn’t your husband proud enough?

Do you think the little girl in my stomach can make you shine?

However, even though he thought so, he didn’t say it out loud.

She was no longer a 13 or 14-year-old blabbermouth. She was already a mother at 17 or 18.

Her father and brother who had protected her were both dead. She was no longer the Eldest Princess who was second only to one person and above tens of thousands of people.

She knew very well that the royal family was not the one who could protect her now. There was no longer any of her blood relatives there. Seated on the dragon throne was the puppet that Xie Xian had helped up. She had only seen it a few times, and even now, she still did not know who the Emperor’s mother was.

He knew who the surname was, but he still couldn’t match it in the crowd.

The puppet emperor also had a legitimate mother, Empress Dowager Xiao. Sitting in the harem was no different from being the head butler of the rear court. She also had to suffer the anger of Chu Jiuniang’s concubine.

The Xiao family was protecting her now.

The Xiao family and the Xie family were closely connected.

It could be said that whether it was the Xiao family or the Xie family, which one was more powerful than her, the Eldest Princess.

Otherwise, the King of Yuzhang would not have such an idea.

“Xuancheng, you must have come here for something important.”Xiao Baoxin saw that the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng was absent-minded and seemed to want to say something but hesitated. He didn’t know what she was thinking and called her a few times but she didn’t respond. Her thoughts were very heavy.

The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng sighed. She was at the door, but she still had to speak despite the shame in her heart.

That was his younger brother.

.. He didn’t expect that one day, he would be in such a state in front of Lady Xiao.

“I came here to ask you for a favor.”

The teacup that Xiao Baoxin was holding suddenly stopped in mid-air. “Why do we need to talk about the word ‘beging’? If you have something to say, just say it.”

The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng felt dejected. No matter what position she was in, Xiao Baoxin waited for her as always, never changing. However, she had changed. It was inevitable, and she could not remain the same.

“I really have to use this word.””Because I’m here to propose marriage on behalf of my brother.””

King Yuzhang?

That little fatty?

Of course, young was a description of age, but her figure was not small.

“Propose?” Xiao Baoxin was stunned.”

The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng looked into her eyes.” The Ninth Lady of the Third household.”

That was Madam Wang’s third daughter.

In the past, she had asked Madam Wang to marry her nephew. However, after the Wang family in Langya fell and that young man was exiled to Guangzhou, Madam Wang had the intention to find another marriage for her. She had been busy for several years, but she had not heard of it being settled. How dazzling was this?

Xiao Baoxin realized it later,”Jiuniang seems to be…” It’s already eleven this year.”

She was three years older than the King of Yuzhang.

Wasn’t it too early for an eight-year-old child to get engaged?

Princess Xuancheng was silent.

This was the idea of his little brother. He had personally come to her to mention it because she had not slept the entire night.

How could she not know that her little brother was doing this to protect himself? He wanted to use the marriage to obtain the protection of the Xie family.

She didn’t want to get involved in the power struggle, and she was too lazy to get involved, so she didn’t even go to the harem now. However, his brother was different. He was a prince and an assistant minister.

An eight-year-old prince, the emperor’s uncle.

His status was high, but he did not have the power to match it.

He was forced to be on the cusp of the storm.

It was true that she was the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family. Whether it was the Xiao family or Xiao Baoshu, they would definitely not let anyone bully her. However, as for the Prince of Yuzhang, she did not dare to guarantee that they would protect him with their lives.

A prince who was of no value.

I didn’t think about Xie Xian and his daughter, but it was just a breath of effort to let Yuzhang Wang give me no, not so big face.

The late Emperor had personally proposed to Xie Xian to arrange a marriage for his children, but he had been rejected, so why would he agree to it?

After thinking about it, she decided to target the third branch.

After all, he was a direct descendant of the Xie family. Although Xie San was not a capable person and did not have much brains, he could still be considered a high official with a high salary and a transcendent status. He also had Xie Xian, his nephew, to protect him. It was just that if he did not play dirty tricks with Xie Xian behind his back or provoke Xiao Baoxin, he would definitely be protected under Xie Xian’s wings.
