“The Eldest Princess is someone who understands etiquette. Even if I repeatedly asked her not to be overly polite, she would never perfunctorily pass the time of morning and evening.”While Madam Xie complained, she didn’t forget to show off her daughter-in-law.
Only Madam Xiao was a member of the Xiao family. If it was an outsider, no matter who heard the words ‘Eldest Princess is a person who understands courtesy’, they would all curse silently.
“.. The Eldest Princess didn’t come to my place until noon. I thought she was sick and wanted to go over to take a look. Look at what I found! I” Only then did Madam Xiao notice the piece of silk paper in Madam Xie’s hand. There were a few big words written on it:
Mother, Boshu and I will go to Jiang Zhou to pick up someone. Don’t think about it.
“Aiyo, the Eldest Princess also went?”Madam Xiao’s eyes were about to turn black. That was the emperor’s sister. How could she leave just like that? “Did you speak to the emperor?”
“This is too.Jt was inappropriate. If the Emperor really blamed them, what would they do? Can’t you blame us for not keeping an eye on him?”
Madam Xiao’s mouth was bitter. To put it bluntly, if there was any natural or man-made disaster outside, how much responsibility would the Xiao family have to bear?
“Isn’t Sikong chasing after someone?” Aiyo, why do you think these two troublesome children-”
“The Eldest Princess has never been out of Jiankang and has never seen the suffering outside. Baoshu has tasted it and even killed people on the battlefield during the chaos of war. What if…”
She couldn’t bear to say it anymore. Just thinking about it made her afraid.
Xiao Baoshu had killed enemies on the battlefield, but no matter how arrogant the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng was, she was just a pampered girl who had been raised like a greenhouse flower since she was young. What hardships could she endure?
No matter how domineering he was in Jiankang City, he had Emperor Yong Ping and the entire royal family to support him.
If she really left Jiankang City, she might not be able to withstand the harsh weather, let alone the bandits or rebels.
The more Madam Xie thought about it, the angrier she got. Thinking about Sikong Xiao’s gloomy face when he heard about this, she couldn’t help but shiver.
Although Sikong Xiao had already chased after him the moment he discovered him, it would be fine if he caught up and stopped him. What if he didn’t catch up?
It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought of sending a message to Xiao Baoxin. Under Sikong Xiao’s rage, only Xiao Baoxin could speak. However, his daughter had already married off. There was no reason for her to seduce him every two or three days because of her family’s matters. There was no way for the Xie family to look down on the Xiao family and think that they had no rules.
###
Sikong Xiao chased for more than a hundred miles, but he still could not catch up. When he remembered that Xiao Baoshu might have taken the water route, it was already too late. He gritted his teeth in hatred and smashed open the city gate, directly entering the palace to beg for forgiveness from the Emperor.
What could Emperor Yong Ping say?
Seeing Sikong Xiao’s weathered face, he knew that he had really chased her out of the city. He was only 50 or 60 years old, but he had chased her for more than 100 miles. He should be the one who should cover his face and apologize. He didn’t get along well with the girl. He was too pretentious.
When he was together with Xiao Baoshu, it was definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two. It was the effect of climbing up exponentially.
Other than comforting Sikong Xiao, there was nothing else to say. It was too embarrassing.
He really wanted Sikong Xiao to know that he didn’t have any intention of cheating the Eldest Princess into the Xiao family. He just wanted to win him over.
“.. “Xuan Cheng has been spoiled by my father since she was young. After I ascended the throne, I was afraid that someone would bully her, so I indulged her even more.” Emperor Yong Ping sighed.”! didn’t teach my sister well.”
“It’s this old minister who didn’t look after the Eldest Princess well.” The monarch and his subjects sighed and apologized to each other, making Duofu laugh so hard that his intestines almost split.
To make the two evil forces of Daliang-
No, it was the two great forces who were speechless and helpless. The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng, who had lowered her noble head, was mighty and domineering. She could only do such a thing.
“Baoshu has led the Eldest Princess astray…”
“It was Xuancheng who gave Baoshu to them. These two people are too similar.”
To lead Xiao Baoshu astray, this was something that he could not say even if he went against his conscience. Who could lead Xiao Baoshu astray? That person had not even been born yet.
“They must have taken the water route. Otherwise, this old minister would definitely have been able to catch up.”Sikong Xiao sighed, blaming himself for not being more careful when he chased them out of the city, splitting his forces to chase them.
Who would have thought that his son would play this trick with him? They had clearly set off by land and he had personally sent them out of the city, but in the end, they had changed their route halfway?
“My dear minister, are you sure you have enough people? Why don’t the palace send two hundred more royal guards?”Emperor Yong Ping had no choice but to accept reality and began to consider the safest course of action.
“Xuancheng hasn’t gone out to see the world either. In the past, he had always been clamoring to go out. Since there was a treasure tree protecting it, it was definitely not a problem. Get out…Just leave.”
He gritted his teeth and said this. What else could he do?
He could only follow the girl’s wishes.
He immediately gave the order to lead 200 Imperial Forest Guards by water and 200 by land towards Jiang Prefecture.
It would be better if they could meet the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng along the way. Even if they did not manage to stop her, Xiao Baoshu’s final destination was Jiang Prefecture. They would definitely be able to find her if they waited for her. He said that he would be at ease with Xiao Baoshu protecting him, but he did not stop sending people.
There was strength in numbers. It was easier to do things with more people.
As for Xiao Baoshan’s matter, Yongping Imperial Capital did not mention a single word.
Actually, this was too common in his eyes. Which family didn’t go through it this way? Only the Cai family’s daughter was ignorant and strange. Back then, the Xiao and Cai families fought until they were black-eyed chickens and became the laughing stock of Jiankang City.
So what now?
Wasn’t life still going on?
She insisted on making things difficult for him. In the end, he really could not make things difficult for her, right?
Back Back to Jiao Fang Dian and Empress Xiao talked about this matter, Empress Xiao was speechless for a long time.
This was what a concubine raised. Her thoughts were different from that of a normal person. Was this purely the virtue of the harem? This was a person s character, a person’s moral conduct. On a smaller scale, it was a problem of style. On a larger scale, it was a problem of how to sweep the world if one did not sweep a house.
However, he did not say much. It was not worth offending Emperor Yong Ping because of Xiao Baoshan. It was not worth it. It was just that he felt disgusted when he heard it.
###
This matter was lifted just like that. The Xiao family did not send a message to the Xie family. It was only when they entered the palace three days later and Empress Xiao mentioned it that Xiao Baoxin found out.
This was Xiao Baoxin’s first time entering the palace after giving birth. In the past, he had rejected her several times. This time, after giving birth and finishing his confinement, he really had no reason to reject her.
Moreover, Xiao Baoxin didn’t want to offend him too much.
At least they didn’t have to be enemies.
At most, he knew who the other party was and knew what he was doing. It was enough for him to stay away from them. After all, she was the empress of a country, so she still had to give her face.
