Chapter 172: Chapter 172-Clear Intent

Translator: 549690339

Xiao Baoxin already didn’t know what to say. Noble Consort Liu’s intentions were clear. At least, she and the Xiao family were on the same side of the Crown Prince. They didn’t want the Crown Prince to ascend the throne.

However, it was hard to say whether he should marry Noble Consort Liu. The pros and cons were obvious.

The advantage was that the number of people was great, but the disadvantage was that the Xiao family was completely exposed to the Crown Prince, and it was exposed too early.

Moreover, Princess Xuancheng was pure and passionate, and she was one of the few good friends. However, if she really wanted to use her brother as a bargaining chip to establish a marriage alliance, she could not do it anyway. Why did she and her father want to overthrow the Crown Prince?

The whole family was neat and tidy. They couldn’t lose this or that. Little Brother was an indispensable part of their family. She wanted him to be happy. Find a Lil ‘Miss that you like and live happily…Perhaps the days of being a Heavenly and Earthly Spirit were all up to his own will.

“Lady, do you not want me to marry into your family?”Princess Xuancheng asked.

Xiao Baoxin raised his eyebrows. She could tell?

“You didn’t enthusiastically recommend your brother to me, nor did you hold my hand and say that 1 must marry into your family.”The princess of Xuancheng said,”I was so happy when my mother asked you to marry my brother.””

H H

“Because I want you to marry someone you really like.” 1 like Xie Xian, so I’m very happy that my family and the Xie family are married. So 1 also want my brother, you, and all my good friends to be able to get what they want.”

Princess Xuancheng seemed to understand,[Eldest Lady wants me to meet Xiao Baoshu, and then…] Are we as happy as Lady Xiao and Xie Xian? Or am I as happy as Lady Xiao?

At least she knew that Lady Xiao was happy. How could she know that Xie Xian might not be happy?

Xiao Baoxin, who had perfectly received Princess Xuancheng’s heartfelt wishes, expressed that Xie Xian would obviously be very happy too, alright!?He really liked her!

1 won’t chat with Princess Xuancheng anymore.

The autumn sun was bright and the back mountain of Waguan Temple was lush with trees, but the road was very wide. It was not far from Waguan Temple to the back mountain, and they arrived in less than ten minutes.

Waguan Temple was surrounded by the sea. In front of the temple, Jiankang City could be seen from a high point. However, the back mountain was towering into the clouds. In front of the river, they walked through the mountain road. What they saw was such a beautiful scenery, which made them feel relaxed and happy.

The Empress Dowager had only invited seventy to eighty people to this banquet. There were one hundred and sixty to seventy palace maids brought out from the palace to serve them. It was crowded as far as the eye could see.

After a while, they gathered in twos and threes, looking for their wives and friends to chat with.

When the Furens gathered together, Lil ‘Miss also went to look for her close friends. When Xie Wan and Chu Lingzi came together, Xiao Baoxin was already being pulled by Princess Xuancheng to watch her practice fist techniques for the third time.

Unfortunately, the timing wasn’t right. He didn’t ask Princess Xuancheng to bring out her bow and arrow. It seemed that she really wanted to show off her skills and show all her martial arts skills to Xiao Baoxin.

Perhaps it was also because of the princess of Xuancheng who was eyeing them covetously, no one came forward to find trouble.

After all, the princess of the royal family had her dignity, especially the princess of Xuancheng, who was favored and didn’t give others face.

Xie Wan and Chu Lingzi greeted Princess Xuancheng first before turning to Xiao Baoxin.”You made it difficult for us to find you.”

Just now, they had been following their mothers and did not have the time to gather together. Now, they had the time to play with these little girls.

“I taught the Princess two sets of fist techniques before.”Xiao Baoxin smiled. She also wanted to look for them, but with the princess of Xuancheng, who knew if she could control her mouth? If she didn’t have a door, it would be her fault if she insulted her good friend.

Princess Xuancheng was sweating profusely from practicing and looked up at Xie Wan.

“This is your aunt. She’s so handsome.”

Xie Wan didn’t know if she should laugh or not.” Thank you for your praise, Princess.”

Princess Xuancheng waved her hand.” You are Lady Xiao’s aunt. In the future, I will also…” Thinking about it, he didn’t know what Xiao Baoshu looked like. If he didn’t like her and said it now, the one who would be embarrassed in the future would be him. He instantly changed his words.

“We’re good friends too.”

Xiao Baoxin wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, Princess Xuancheng had stopped speaking in time, or else it would have really caused a huge uproar.

In fact, when they were separated, they had a lot to talk about. However, Princess Xuancheng was sandwiched in the middle, so there were many things that she could not say. Princess Xuancheng did not have that much time to spare. She pulled the few of them to talk about this and that. They looked at the river and the trees. Not long after, she chatted with Chu Lingzi, who was equally cheerful but clearly more restrained. The more they chatted, the happier they became. They regretted not meeting each other earlier.

At this moment, Xie Wan apologized to Xiao Baoxin in a low voice,”Uncle at home…” I’ve made a lot of trouble, and made the lady feel wronged.”

“Don’t worry, the old madam has the final say. It’s even better if my brother is back. He doesn’t care about uncle and the others.”

Thinking that the commotion in Jiankang City had already exceeded the general understanding, Xie Wan felt guilty.

Xiao Baoxin could only pull Xie Wan’s hand back and change the topic.”Let’s not talk about these unhappy things. It’s been a long time since we last saw each other. Last time, you said in your letter that you were reading some folk history book.”

What could she say? It’s alright. He’s an elder. I’ll do my best in the future and let him see my hard work. You said that you would let your brother stand up for me—then, can you hit his own uncle or scold him?

It was not a good topic to continue, so it was better not to go too deep into it. The more they talked, the angrier she became.

The parents of both parties had agreed to it. He had no parents, and his uncle was his father. His mother was still alive, and his grandmother was still alive. What did he mean by his uncle jumping up and down?

“I haven’t found it yet.” Xie Wan saw that Xiao Baoxin was obviously unwilling to continue the topic just now, so she went with the flow and talked about the book that she had been thinking about.”! sent people to search all the bookstores in Jiankang, but I couldn’t find it. At that time, 1 didn’t know if Abba bought this book or lost it.”

Chu Lingzi was pulled aside by Princess Xuancheng to teach her fist techniques. She was so tired that she immediately became a deserter. She ran to Xie Wan’s side and panted,

“You’re talking about that book again. I’ve asked my brothers to help me find it.”

“What book? Fist technique?” Princess Xuancheng chased after him, obviously possessed.

The girls laughed.

Not long after, the banquet began, and they returned to their mothers ‘sides. Because the banquet was held outside the palace, everything was simple. There were not even a few tables prepared. Even the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager sat on the ground on a felt carpet. They brought chrysanthemum cakes from the palace, as well as various pastries and cold dishes. There was not a single hot dish.

The purpose of the Double Ninth Festival was to climb high and avoid evil.

“.. It would be better to go to the Eldest Princess ‘place. There would definitely be good wine and food.”Madam Xie muttered softly. The Empress Dowager was the one who was holding the Double Ninth Banquet. She led them out of the city to climb the mountain like walking dogs. They didn’t even have warm food. It was already September and they still had to eat cold food.

Isn’t it good to eat delicacies and admire chrysanthemums at the Eldest Princess ‘place?

Madam Xie suddenly envied Madam Xiao, who had gone to the Eldest Princess’s banquet. The mother and daughter would definitely eat and drink well, and they would not have to climb mountains to tire themselves out..
