As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 489
Shalan was already used to the storms in his eyes, and knew that he was a paper tiger and would not do anything to her.

She leaned against Xie Changqing's shoulder with confidence and whispered: "I will have a baby soon. Once we have a good baby, we can still be together as before."

Of course Xie Changqing understood what "always together" meant.

Of course, it is not living together as ordinary people say, but returning to the previous state in Yaocheng - bed partners.

What did she take him for?

What is going on in this mind?
Is she working so hard for the sake of the peace of her clan?

She has always worked so hard, working so hard for those who can protect her people?

Xie Changqing felt a surge of anger rising from the bottom of his heart, and then died out halfway through.

Finally, he closed his eyes weakly.

Shalan closed her eyes against him and pressed her feet against his body to absorb the warmth.

The little bit of intimacy tonight made her feel a little reassured, but she didn't know that the two of them had never communicated seriously, and even if they slept together, they were still the same bedfellows.

……

On New Year's Eve, it snowed heavily.

On this day in Beijing, I don’t know how many promises were made about auspicious snow heralding a good harvest.

Xie Zhaozhao slept well last night. When he woke up and looked at the vast expanse of white outside, he stood in front of the window and stretched out gracefully.

Xianggui and Xiangyu soon came in with their maids to serve.

Xianggui said with a smile: "Miss will go to the palace for a banquet in the afternoon. These clothes must be warmed up early so that the lady will not feel cold when wearing them."

"Ah."

Xie Zhaozhao casually glanced at the row of long trays holding clothes.

This was sent over by Yun Qi early in the morning. It was a coral-colored flowing cloud brocade palace dress. It was complicated and luxurious. It was decorated with many of Xie Zhaozhao's favorite glazed pearls and matching head and face jewelry.

The pearl embedded on the toe of the embroidered shoe is round and shiny. Just putting it there feels priceless. Ordinary people would not dare to think about it, and how could they be willing to wear it on their feet.

Xie Zhaozhao smiled lightly and returned to the dowry to let the maid comb his hair.

Nowadays, in the age of peace and prosperity, the Qin Dynasty is strong and has a very grand festival.

The entire capital was already decorated with lanterns and colorful ribbons, and colorful silks were flying in the palace.

Today's heavy snow also adds to the festive atmosphere.

The princes, nobles, civil and military officials, and family members who attended the palace banquet began to enter the palace one after another in the afternoon.

Xie Zhaozhao and his mother also went out in the afternoon.

Xie Jiajia was still too lazy to go, saying she had to take care of the children so she stayed at home.

Xie Changqing made great contributions to the Danzhou affair this time, so he entered the palace early, and Xie Changan accompanied him.

Xie Huan naturally entered the palace together with Xie Zhaozhao and her daughter.

As for Shalan, because her identity was unclear and she was pregnant, she stayed at the house and handed over to Xie Jiajia to take care of her.

Xie Changheng and Qiu Shui naturally did not participate in such occasions.

The military affairs in Youyun are busy, and Xie Changyu and Xie Wei will not be able to come back to celebrate the New Year this year.

Sitting on the carriage when entering the palace, Yu felt a little emotional, "It's not always possible for a family to be completely reunited. I really hope that everyone can come back one year and have a good New Year together."

Xie Zhaozhao held Yu's hand and advised softly: "Yes, when Youyun becomes more stable, dad and eldest brother will definitely be able to return to Beijing for the Chinese New Year."

"hope so."

Mrs. Yu followed the gap in the carriage and looked at the backs of Xie Changqing and Xie Changan who were riding in front, and continued to feel happy in her eyes.

The sixth child, Xie Changan, was the child she felt most at ease with. After the Chinese New Year, she would find someone to marry him.

As for Xie Changqing... I can't control it, but I'm always worried.

During the recent period, she heard that Xie Changqing had accompanied Xie Huan to Princess Anyang's Mansion several times.

Princess Anyang...

This person is the reason why Xie Changqing has not even returned home these years.Now that her consort died of illness and she had a child with her, Xie Changqing couldn't help but go to the princess's mansion after returning to Beijing. He didn't know what he was thinking.

Xie Changqing also brought Miss Lan back, and her belly was so big.

Yao Wanning's incident left Yu with lingering fears. Now she only hopes for peace in her family and doesn't want anything to happen again.

Princess Shang is not on a good path either.

I just don’t know what Xie Changqing is thinking in his heart?
Yu sighed secretly.

Xie Zhaozhao noticed that Mrs. Yu was in a complicated mood. He squeezed his mother's hand and asked inquiringly, "Mother?"

"Zhao Zhao'er."

When Mrs. Yu turned to Xie Zhaozhao, she had a smile on her face and said softly: "What do you think about your wedding date with His Highness?"

"Well..." Xie Zhaozhao said with a faint smile: "When he was in northern Hebei, he said that he had found someone who had seen all the auspicious days after the new year. He should have an idea and would see the right time to ask for the marriage."

Yu smiled and nodded, took Xie Zhaozhao into her arms, and sighed in her heart: Xie Zhaozhao seems to be the only one who has kept her from worrying so much in the past few years.

……

After entering the palace, the female family members first went to the harem to pay respects to the concubine.

Nowadays, Concubine Xian presides over everything in the palace.

When Xie Zhaozhao and Yu arrived at Xianfu Palace, Zhang Liangdi, Yun Yao and Yun Yue were already talking inside, accompanied by several princes and wives.

After the death of the Crown Princess, all affairs of the East Palace have been handed over to Zhang Liangdi.

Although the Crown Prince has never helped her raise her status, he is already as important as the Crown Princess.

And when Xie Zhaozhao glanced at Zhang Liangdi, he noticed that her belly was slightly bulging, and she seemed to be pregnant.

Xie Zhaozhao had only been back for two days, but he had never heard of this news.

Because I was a little surprised.

But she has lived two lives, and has seen many ups and downs of life and death, so her emotions towards everything are lighter than ordinary people, so after taking a look, she converged her eyes and stayed quiet.

Next to Concubine Xian sat Princess Anyang Yun Xianning.

Yun Xianning was dressed in a lake-blue palace attire, wearing the most fashionable Luoxia Feixian bun in Beijing today. She applied a thin layer of pink and white. She looked beautiful and was chatting and laughing with others.

Xie Zhaozhao remembered that he had seen her several times at palace banquets before, but she was always calm, silent, and dressed very plainly.

I don't know what happened today that made her feel happy, and her posture changed a bit.

"Ah Huan! Let's go out and play!"

Xiao Yi, who was sitting next to Yun Xianning, stood up and ran to Xie Huan, then pulled his sleeve and ran out.

All the ladies in the hall laughed.

"The relationship between the young prince and the young master of the Xie family is really good."

"The two of them are similar in age and are studying together. It's natural that they have similar interests."

"Yeah yeah."

Concubine Xian also laughed, "Two little monkeys, if they get together, they can cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace... Zhaozhao, come and sit here in this palace."

"Yes."

Xie Zhaozhao slowly walked to Concubine Xian.

Xian Fei had been taking care of her for a long time, and Xie Zhaozhao and the other princes' female relatives were accustomed to it. Some of them complimented her indifferently, and some were dissatisfied, but they could only watch helplessly as Xie Zhaozhao enjoyed such honor alone.

Today, Xie Zhaozhao is wearing a coral-colored dress, which is complicated and luxurious.

This bejeweled dress could very well become gaudy if you are not careful, but Xie Zhaozhao is neither cold nor hot, nor humble nor overbearing. This dress only makes people feel glamorous and compelling.

Especially the glass pearls inlaid on the toes of the embroidered shoes.

As she moved around, a little bit of the pearl was exposed, and it was dazzling under the gleam of the various jewelry in the room. It was really too dazzling.

Concubine Xian smiled and said: "Zhaozhao's clothes were prepared by His Highness the Ministry of Etiquette a long time ago. They are indeed beautiful."
