Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

Jiang Xue took the pill, smelled it carefully, and then swallowed it.

She knew her physical condition, but she had been busy with other things and had no time to take good care of herself. Fortunately, Dr. Li remembered to consider her: "Please thank Dr. Li for me."

"Of course I will."

Xiao Zhan replied: "I have sent some precious gifts. I believe Doctor Li will be very happy."

The gifts he gave were all top-quality medicinal materials, which were more attractive to a doctor who loved medicine than gold, silver and jewelry.

"Let Dr. Li come and check your pulse in a few days to see how you are recovering."

He cared about her health more than anyone else, even more than Jiang Xue herself.

"I am a doctor myself, and I know my situation," said Jiang Xue.

Considering that Doctor Li did not like the living environment of the palace, she felt a little uneasy about disturbing him so frequently.

"It's difficult for a doctor to heal himself. Doctor Li said he would find time to come and give you a thorough examination. Don't let him down." Xiao Zhan said gently.

As Xiao Zhan spoke, he helped her put on her clothes and shoes.

After she was dressed, he quickly put on his clothes as well, then took her to sit in front of the dressing table and gently combed her long hair.

"Can you do your hair in a bun?"

Jiang Xue looked at his nimble fingers in amazement. The perfect bun in front of her made her feel very novel.

"When Xiao Gui was little, no one took care of her. She was always messy like a wild child. As her older brother, I naturally cared more about her.

I was a bit flustered when I combed her hair at first, but I got used to it after a while."

Although Rose was nominally raised by the Queen, she was not her biological daughter and was treated far less favorably than other princes and princesses.

Seeing that she was not favored, the servants in the palace were indifferent to her and sometimes even used her as a punching bag. It was during that period that Xiao Zhan began to take on the responsibility of taking care of his sister.

Hearing this, Jiang Xue felt mixed emotions.

The palace seems magnificent, but in fact it is full of power struggles and evil hearts, and the children are inevitably drawn into the disputes of the adult world.

Behind the apparent wealth and glory, there are countless unknown hardships and twists and turns.

"Speaking of Ninth Sister, how is she doing lately? I haven't had time to ask about her situation since I came back."

After tidying up her appearance, Jiang Xue turned around and asked.

Xiao Zhan looked at his work with satisfaction, kissed her lips gently, and said, "If you want to know about her situation, why don't I take you to see her."

He hadn't visited Xiao Gui for a long time. He heard that she had become a mother, but he hadn't seen the little nephew yet.

The two of them came to the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion hand in hand, just in time for the Yong'an Marquis and his wife to go out for a trip, leaving only Xie Linyuan and Xiao Gui at home.

"His Majesty……"

The gatekeeper was about to report but was stopped by Xiao Zhan.

"No need to notify them, we can just go in by ourselves." He wanted to see the couple's most natural side.

In the yard, Xie Linyuan was concentrating on practicing sword, while Xiao Gui was sitting quietly beside him, holding a well-behaved child in his arms.

Occasionally, the couple would exchange a loving look, and the picture was full of warmth and happiness.

A quarter of an hour later, Xie Linyuan finished his sword practice, sorted out his equipment, and walked towards his wife.

He leaned over gently and placed a kiss on her forehead, unable to help but smile at the light blush that appeared on her face.

Even though they already had a child, she was still shy every time she faced him, and this innocence made him feel particularly cute. Unable to help himself, he lowered his head again, this time wanting to kiss her lips lightly.

However, just as their lips were about to touch, a sudden cough broke the moment.

It turned out to be Xiao Zhan and Jiang Xue walking down the corridor, looking at them with happy smiles.

"Fourth brother?"

Xiao Gui's face turned even redder, realizing that her second brother might have seen what she had just seen. She felt extremely shy and wanted to find a place to hide.

Sensing her uneasiness, Xie Linyuan smiled gently, turned around and protected her behind him.

"Your Majesty, Princess."

He stood there firmly, not letting anyone see his wife's shy look, not even his brother.

"Thank you, Lord. Long time no see."

Jiang Xue exclaimed in admiration, recalling the days when Xie Linyuan was a guard of the Xie family. Who would have thought that he would now become Xiao Gui's consort, a talented Marquis Xuanping.

"We came here today to see the children."

Xiao Zhan said, obviously satisfied with Xie Linyuan's attitude towards Xiao Gui, proving that his choice was not wrong.

Then he signaled his follower Qingfeng to bring in some gifts.

"These are for the children. You can't come empty-handed on your first visit."

Jiang Xue explained, and personally put a golden lock on the child: "This is a gift from Yun Che and me, please accept it, Princess Nine."

Xiao Gui looked at Jinsuo, then at his brother and sister-in-law, and nodded gratefully: "Thank you, fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law."

"By the way, have you named the child?" Xiao Zhan asked with expectant eyes.

Before going to the mansion, they specifically asked the administrator of the Zongzheng Mansion and learned that the child had not yet been registered. It was also unclear whether Xiao Gui and his wife had already given the child a name.

"We have thought about it for a long time, but Lin Yuan and I haven't been able to come up with a satisfactory name. It just so happens that Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law are here today, so why don't you help us think of one?"

In fact, she intended to leave this matter to Xiao Zhan, hoping that he would give the name.

Because of past experiences, children are burdened with a lot of gossip from birth.

Although those noble ladies were kind to her on the surface, she heard all the rumors behind their backs.

In order not to worry her husband and family, she endured it silently. She hoped that by giving the child a name from the emperor, she could calm the gossip and protect the child from harm.

She doesn't care how she is judged, but she doesn't want her children to be exposed to bad comments.

Xie Linyuan understood her painstaking efforts. He had also heard the bad reviews of those noble ladies, but he felt more sorry for his wife's forbearance.

Since this was her wish and it would be beneficial to the child's future, he certainly would not object.

The emperor's bestowal of a name would not only make the nobles more respectful of the child, but would also make the court officials pay more attention to the child, which would be of great benefit to the child's future.

Therefore, Xie Linyuan respectfully asked Xiao Zhan: "Your Majesty, can you give our child a name?"

"How difficult is this?"

Xiao Zhan came here for this purpose, and since the child was his beloved sister's, he was naturally happy to do it.

"Is the child a boy or a girl?" Xiao Zhan asked.

"It's a boy."

Xiao Gui answered. Actually, she and her husband were expecting a daughter, and even prepared clothes for a girl. But they didn't expect that the baby was a son, which caught them off guard.

Fortunately, most of the baby clothes Jiang Xue brought today were neutral, otherwise she would have to make new clothes overnight.
