Xiao Baoxin’s face turned red, white, and green, like a spilled dye bottle.
He had lost all his face.
Xie Xian held back his laughter and said,”You have two bodies now, so naturally you’ll starve quickly.” Besides, you haven’t eaten much these days.”He arranged the food in the lunchbox, sprinkled eight dishes and a bowl of porridge, and cut green plums on the plate.
“Only a bowl of porridge.” Xie Xian said softly. He didn’t bring him along.
He had fallen out of favor with his grandmother. She had actually made so many dishes and did not mention bringing an extra bowl of porridge for him. Was he the only one missing? Clearly, she had not counted him in.
Xiao Baoxin glanced at him, his tone full of resentment.
“Let’s drink a bowl. I don’t know how many mouthfuls 1 can eat.”
Although he said that, Xiao Baoxin was eating fish porridge with green plum fruits. The side dishes were scattered. Although he didn’t see her wolfing down the food, it was rare to see her eat. Xie Xian couldn’t be happier. How could he snatch food from her?
Xiao Baoxin didn’t dare to eat more after eating half a bowl. He was afraid that he would vomit again if he ate too much. The taste was too uncomfortable.
It was only at this moment that Xie Xian picked up her leftovers and swept them away. Then, he looked at the bowl in a daze and was a little melancholic.”! seem to be eating too much, wifey. I’m not full after eating all this.”
There was not much porridge, but the problem was that he had finished all eight dishes.
“This is a good thing. You ate too little in the past.”
“I’ll ask the kitchen to make some more food for you. Otherwise, you’ll feel uncomfortable if you starve in the middle of the night.””
Xie Xian nodded hesitantly. He was not full yet, so he would probably be hungry in the middle of the night. Losing his chastity was a small matter, but starving to death was a big one. Anyway, he had lost his chastity to his wife, but starving to death was his own death. He could not bear it.
It was rare that Xiao Baoxin didn’t vomit. Xie Xian looked at her with a smile as if he was looking at a rare object. In the end, he vomited for her.
Xie Xian was speechless.
“Let’s have a plate of green berries.” Xiao Baoxin ordered the dishes boldly, so the couple walked in circles in Rong An Hall while eating green plum fruits.
Xiao Jing ‘ai’s nonsense was like snowflakes in winter in Jiankang. It melted as soon as it fell to the ground, as if it had never appeared. The two of them had a tacit understanding that no one mentioned it again.
This was how things were. At the beginning, he did not tell her about it openly. In the future, he did not know how to tell her about it again. She slowly put it down and could no longer lift it up.
However, no matter how indifferent Xie Xian appeared, Xiao Baoxin was still clear that he cared. It was just that she could not explain this concern.
###
The first day Xiao Ning came to the Xie residence, Xiao Baoxin had already stolen the limelight. The news that she was pregnant had caused waves that no one had expected. Not only the Xie residence, but now everyone from the Emperor to the people of Jiankang City knew about it. It was beyond everyone’s expectations.
Xiao Baoxin felt guilty about the sudden appearance. After all, Xiao Ning was the star of the welcoming banquet, but she ruined it.
Therefore, in the next few days, she went to Xiao Ning’s side intentionally or unintentionally. As long as she had food in Rong An Hall, she would send it to Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning wasn’t that petty. She didn’t take it seriously. She was also very close to Xiao Baoxin. The day after she knew that she was pregnant, the father and daughter of the Xiao family gave her a jade carving of a golden boy and a jade girl. Xiao Baoxin was very fond of it. The pair of fat dolls looked very cute.
Xiao Baoxin had received instructions from Mother Xie that Xiao Ning would bring her around when she arrived.
Although Xiao Baoxin had just married into the Xie family and had not shown her face in Jiankang City as the mistress of the Xie family, she had to make the decisions on the surface in the future. However, plans could not match changes. No one expected her to get pregnant so quickly and be kept in captivity. Not to mention bringing Xiao Ning to socialize, even she herself was under house arrest.
There was no need to think about going out. There were countless pairs of eyes staring at her as she walked around the Xie residence. If she walked fast, there would be people talking about her. If she ate fast, there would be people controlling her. She would be punished if she moved.
Since the death of Xie Shi Zhong, Lady Yuan had rarely appeared on the surface. Naturally, she could not take care of Xiao Ning. Mother Xie was still concerned about Xiao Ning’s marriage, so she entrusted her to Lady Wang.
Regardless of whether he could marry the Xin ‘an Prince or not, Xiao Huang had made up his mind to find a family for his daughter in Jiankang. In the future, he would have to move around in the circle of noble women in Jiankang City.
Mother Xie was anxious, but Emperor Yu Heng was even more anxious than her. Xiao Huang had only been in Jiankang City for three to five days when word spread from the palace that he wanted Xiao Ning and Xiao Baoxin to enter the palace to accompany Princess Xuancheng and have a chat.
How could he say that it was urgent? In half a month, it would be Empress Dowager Pan’s birthday. Every year, there was no big celebration, but a few people who could talk were invited to the palace to eat imperial food. Even Mother Xie thought that it would be half a month before she could see Xiao Ning, but she didn’t even get to see her. It was obvious that the Emperor was worried about the marriage of Xin ‘an Prince.
When Emperor Yu Heng mentioned that he wanted Xiao Baoxin to accompany him, Xie Xian had to endure for a few moments before he found an excuse to reject him.
It was not that the emperor could not be offended. In Daliang, including the previous dynasty, which aristocratic family had not offended a few emperors? This was not a big deal. The problem was that he was very afraid of making excuses. Making excuses was nothing more than pretending to be sick.
However, although his wife didn’t eat well, her body was very good. Usually, he would feel disgusted when he made excuses. Now that she was pregnant, he couldn’t say this out loud.
The Emperor was even more ruthless, he even mentioned Sikong Xiao’s birthday before Xiao Baoxin entered the palace.
This was to shut Xie Xian up. Now, there was no one in Jiankang City who didn’t know that Xie Xian treated Xiao Baoxin like a pearl and treasure. He would bring Xiao Baoxin to his mother’s house every two or three days.
You can bring your daughter-in-law back to the Yue family, but you can’t come to the palace to accompany my daughter?
Xie Xian reluctantly agreed. He was proud in front of the Emperor, and there was no one in the Palace who was blind enough to use Xiao Baoxin as a raft. No matter how much they fought in the Palace, it would not be the right time to implicate a woman.
For example, Noble Consort Liu was poisoned to death by eating a pancake. This was a rare occurrence in a hundred years, so there was no such blatant poisoning. This was not even in the palace.
Moreover, this death wasn’t something that could be eaten just because he wanted to. He killed people accurately, so it was impossible for others to snatch his death.
However, he still warned Xiao Baoxin not to eat anything in the palace just in case. It just so happened that she was pregnant and vomiting, so it was not considered insolent. Just before entering the palace, Xie Xian still prepared a small bag of green plums for her.
The palace guards who were inspecting the palace looked at the bag of green plums and their faces turned black. Normally, this was not a problem, but after all, there was the death of Imperial Consort Liu. The higher-ups had strict requirements, so they did not give Xie Xian face and let him bring it in.
“What about sister-in-law?” Xiao Ning was really worried.”
“I have no choice but not to eat. Anyway, it’s fine to starve for a meal or two.”Xiao Baoxin laughed.
Xie Xian’s meaning was obvious. He was afraid that others wouldn’t know what she ate and vomited, so he would find an excuse for her to enter the palace without touching the food inside. He didn’t even have to say it out loud, and she understood.
Moreover, he had analyzed the feedback from all sides and the necessity of doing so.
“What if there really is someone who is blind?”
He was just in case..
