The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

The princess also pretended to persuade her, "Aunt, we are a family after all. You should not bear grudges. Let's discuss this properly."

With this step, the princess snorted twice in succession and said unhappily: "I can ignore it, but how can the Queen Mother refuse?"

At this time, Master Qian also pretended to be serious and said, "I really don't have that kind of thought towards my cousin, and now I have no intention of marrying my cousin at all. Please don't force me, grandma."

When the princess saw the bluffing of the grandparents, she knew that Xie Ruxue would have to become a concubine.

She seemed to be sincere and said: "Aunt, since the Queen Mother has arranged a matchmaking for my nephew, and Xue'er can only marry my nephew, what do you think, why don't we let Xue'er go over as a concubine? That would be a good way to have the best of both worlds."

"No!" Bao immediately retorted.

Prince Fenyang immediately glared at the princess and pleaded with the princess in embarrassment: "Aunt, how could Xue'er go there to be a concubine? My nephew only has this one daughter, how can I let her be a concubine?"

Although the princess has been suppressing the arrogance of the Bao family, it was mainly for the sake of venting her anger, not really to let the daughter of the Xie family become a concubine.

However, having said that, in order to make Xie Ruxue understand her identity, the princess naturally had to maintain a tough attitude. Otherwise, if Xie Ruxue continued to speak nonsense when she came home, wouldn't that be a disgrace to her?

The princess stood up and stretched out her hand. Master Qian immediately helped her up. At this time, the princess looked down at him and said, "Nephew, your daughter is really not good. I don't even want her to be a concubine. But she is still the daughter of the Xie family. For the sake of my deceased elder brother and his wife, you should carry her to our house in a sedan chair before tomorrow. She will have a meal in my mansion. After tomorrow, this matter will be settled."

After saying that, the princess walked away. Prince Fenyang wanted to go up and ask what would happen if he didn't send Xie Ruxue over, but Bao grabbed his sleeve.

"My Lord, please don't let other princesses scare you. How could our Xue'er be given to that Qian as a concubine? Is he worthy of her?"

Prince Fenyang straightened his back which had been bent for a long time and nodded, saying, "Aunt was just mad at Xue'er and said those cruel words of love. I will go to your house tomorrow and have a good talk with you. Xue'er will not be a concubine."

Was it a deliberate cruel remark? Maybe, but at this point, how could Meng Wenyao let this be just a cruel remark?

After everyone left, Meng Wen Yao immediately had people spread rumors throughout the capital, detailing today's events and what had been happening in Fenyang Palace during this period, and exaggerating them. In a short while, everyone in the capital was talking about Fenyang Palace.

During dinner, Meng Wenyao saw that only the princess and Xie Chenyi were at the table, and deliberately asked, "Why aren't the prince and the concubine here?"

The princess was in a good mood and asked Meng Wenyao to sit down and eat. She suppressed her laughter and said, "Everyone outside is talking about what happened today. How can they still eat?"

"Finally, someone has taught Bao a lesson on how to behave. When the princess was here, she shamelessly said that she looked down upon this marriage. Now, everyone in the world knows about it. I wonder who would dare to thank Ruxue again."

The consequence that everyone knows is that Bao Shi has no way out, but Prince Fenyang is still a prince after all. Meng Wenyao worriedly said, "What if the prince dies to protect the fourth lady, will she have any other way out?"

"To the death?" The princess laughed as if she had heard something funny. "If the reputation of the palace had not been ruined, the prince might still have some love for Xie Ruxue. As soon as this matter spread, the prince immediately went to discuss the marriage with the princess. Bao Shi made a fuss because of this. I heard that Xie Ruxue even threatened to die and refused to marry. At this time, she still couldn't see the situation clearly. Bao Shi and her daughter are really stupid."

It was such a stupid lady like Bao who had suppressed the princess for so many years. It can be seen that the real stupid one was not Lady Bao, but Prince Fenyang who doted on her with a blind eye.

It was because Prince Fenyang favored his concubine and neglected his wife without distinguishing right from wrong that made Bao think that no matter what happened, as long as she made a fuss, the prince would satisfy her.

But judging from the situation today, there seems to be no room for change.

Meng Wen Yao was about to look up to pick up some food when she saw Xie Chenyi glance at her vaguely. She suddenly blushed and quickly turned away.

"Princess, Bao has been plotted against one after another. When she recovers from this period of time, will she take crazy revenge?"

This is also what the princess is worried about. Now that Bao's eldest son has passed away, the second son's reputation has been ruined, and her daughter's second half of life is over, anyone would want revenge.

But after all, she had dealt with the Bao family for half her life, so the princess said calmly, "If she wants revenge, she must get something on me. She couldn't do anything to me in her whole life, and she can't do anything to me now either."

"As for you two, is today's incident related to you? Are there any consequences that will be discovered by the Bao family in the future?"

Thinking about today's plot against Xie Ruxue, and her passionate love affair with Xie Chenyi, Meng Wenyao's face could no longer be concealed as it turned red.

The princess looked at Meng Wen Yao suspiciously, then at Xie Chenyi. Xie Chenyi didn't dare to look at the princess.

It seemed like something was about to come out. The princess didn't know if she was overthinking it. She calmed down and said in a deep voice: "After dinner, come back to your room with me."

"Mother, I did what happened today by myself. I was just looking for a chance to tell you."

Xie Chenyi spoke up and stopped the princess from looking at Meng Wenyao in time, and said with a smile: "She doesn't know anything, I will tell you slowly later."

She? The princess' heart skipped a beat. Shouldn't Xie Chenyi call her sister-in-law? Why did he call her "she"?

The princess could no longer eat this meal. She told herself to stay calm. This was the critical moment to fight against the Bao family. She couldn't let Zilun do this.

"Take your time to eat. I'll go back first."

After the princess left, Meng Wenyao looked at Xie Chenyi nervously and said dejectedly, "What are you going to say?"

Xie Chenyi didn't say anything, but picked up some food for Meng Wenyao in a good mood, and said considerately: "I'm afraid you haven't eaten anything well all day, eat more."

Meng Wen Yao looked at the food that was being picked up with chopsticks and had no appetite at all.

She looked at Xie Chenyi stubbornly, silently protesting his change of subject.

Finally, Xie Chenyi put down his chopsticks and said helplessly and seriously: "I am not the kind of person who does things rashly when my brain is hot. Since I have done it, I have already thought about how to end it."

"You, you are not poisoned?" Meng Wen Yao pretended to be panicked.

Xie Chenyi took the opportunity to grab Meng Wenyao's hand under the cover of the table and said seriously: "It's just going with the flow. This has been planned for a long time!"

Meng Wenyao widened her eyes in surprise, not knowing what to say for a long time, only to hear Xie Chenyi promise again: "I'll take care of everything, you just need to wait a little."

"Do you know what you're talking about?"
