The fifth prince has also studied and practiced martial arts since he was young, and is very talented. However, he is not as good as the third prince in literature, and not as good as the fourth prince in martial arts... Now there is an additional seventh prince, Sheng Hong.
Sheng Hong has been practicing martial arts with Mr. Lian for a long time. Now he has graduated from the academy and has begun to listen to government affairs. He insists on going to Lianchi Academy every three days. He heard that he has learned most of the Lian Lian family's art of war.
The fifth prince is quite self-aware and knows that he is definitely no match for Sheng Hong and will never bring humiliation to himself.
It's not a shame to lose to the brothers, but it's really sad that he can't even beat his newlywed wife.
The fifth prince dodged Yin Xiaoxiao's second punch in a somewhat embarrassed manner, rolled down on the bed in an inelegant posture, and took a few steps back: "Hey, hey, hey! I'm letting you go on purpose, don't go too far.
Ah! If you do it again, I won’t be polite!"
Yin Xiaoxiao became angry from embarrassment, and stared at the fifth prince with her big eyes under her thick eyebrows: "If you want to take action, just do it, I'm afraid of you!"
Fifth Prince: "..."
The jumping red candles and the red color in the room are all joyful.
The pretty girl was wearing an exquisite red wedding dress, her pretty face was flushed, and her eyes were shining with vitality and embarrassment, and she was staring at him steadily.
The fifth prince suddenly felt sweetness in his heart.
The previous annoyance was gone.
"It's my fault." The fifth prince coughed, rarely giving in and apologizing: "I shouldn't have deliberately lied to you and teased you. No wonder you got angry. If you want to hit me, just do it, I will never fight back."
The fifth prince's attitude softened, and Yin Xiaoxiao couldn't stand up any more, so she retracted her fist in a somewhat sarcastic manner.
The two of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time. For some reason, they felt a little awkward and uncomfortable.
The fifth prince glanced at Yin Xiaoxiao, who had a peach-like face, and his heart seemed to be scratched by something. He mustered up the courage to step forward and hold Yin Xiaoxiao's hand.
Yin Xiaoxiao's whole body trembled, and her face suddenly turned red. She wanted to withdraw her hand, but for some reason, she lost all the strength in her body. She thought she was shouting with all her strength, but in fact her voice was like an ant: "Let me go."
The fifth prince grinned and said cheekily: "I won't let you go."
He leaned closer again, his warm breath brushing against Yin Xiaoxiao's face.
Yin Xiaoxiao reflexively wanted to move away, but the fifth prince's hand had already firmly held her waist. Then, a face that was also flushed came over.
…
The next day.
The newlyweds entered the palace together to pay their respects.
Yin Xiaoxiao, who has always been elegant and generous, felt a little uncomfortable today. Even her walking posture was a bit twisted.
The fifth prince looked refreshed, held Yin Xiaoxiao's arm considerately, and laughed softly: "Walk more slowly."
Yin Xiaoxiao was so embarrassed and angry that she rolled her eyes and said, "It's all your fault!"
It's all his fault! She made a fuss last night... which caused her waist and back pain, and her legs were sore and weak. She had to be careful today to avoid making a fool of herself in front of everyone.
The fifth prince was in an extremely good mood. He grinned and said, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault."
Yin Xiaoxiao glared at the fifth prince again: "Glib-tongued." Why didn't you notice that he was so shameless before?
The fifth prince laughed muffledly.
The young couple played tricks, and when they entered the Jiaofang Palace, they each looked dignified. However, the intimacy between their eyebrows could not be concealed.
Princess Changping and the Prince Consort led the little princess into Jiaofang Hall early, and several princes and princesses had also arrived at Jiaofang Hall.
The fifth prince and his wife kowtow to the emperor and empress first, and then they greet each other among their peers.
Xiao Yuhan was more than four months pregnant, and her abdomen was slightly swollen. She was wearing a loose dress, with a gentle and pleasant smile on her elegant face. She smiled at Yin Xiaoxiao and said, "Why don't you call me third sister-in-law soon?"
?”
When Yin Xiaoxiao saw her friend's familiar smiling face, her nervousness suddenly relaxed, and she winked playfully: "What kind of meeting gift has the third sister-in-law prepared for me?"
Xiao Yuhan pursed her lips and smiled: "I've never seen anyone take the initiative to ask for a meeting gift."
Li Xiangru also smiled and said: "Don't worry! How dare I short-change your meeting gift? Who doesn't know that you are the best? From now on, we sisters-in-law will not dare to offend anyone!"
Everyone laughed kindly together.
It was the turn of the Seventh Prince Sheng Hong. Sheng Hong gracefully bowed his hands and called the fifth sister-in-law: "I wonder what kind of meeting gift the fifth sister-in-law has prepared for me, my brother-in-law!"
Yin Xiaoxiao resisted the urge to spit at him and smiled as a greeting gift.
Sheng Hong was the most shameless, and actually bowed to Emperor Jianwen with his hand: "Father, the five emperors and brothers are also married. It must be my son's turn next!"
Emperor Jianwen was amused and laughed: "I have never seen you marrying a wife in such a hurry. Don't worry, I have ordered the Ministry of Rites to choose an auspicious day."
As time went by, and there were favored beauties around him, Emperor Jianwen let go of the unspeakable unhappiness in his heart.
Sheng Hong was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly saluted and thanked him.
The fifth prince was quite dissatisfied with Sheng Hong's actions: "Seventh prince, you have jumped out to steal my limelight again. I will definitely reward you when you marry your wife and come over to serve tea."
Sheng Hong paid no attention to this small threat and immediately shouted: "Fifth sister-in-law, Fifth Emperor brother bullies me like this, you have to take care of it."
Yin Xiaoxiao and Sheng Hong were classmates and had practiced martial arts together for several years. They were very familiar with each other and joked freely. They smiled and responded: "Don't worry, I will beat him up when I get back home to vent your anger."
Fifth Prince: "..."
…
Emperor Jianwen was most happy to see his sons and daughters-in-law living happily together, and said with a smile: "I am very relieved that we have had more children in the past two years!"
Empress Yu answered with a smile: "What the Emperor said is that Changqing gave birth to a grandson within a year of his passing. He is a well-deserved hero. Now that the Xiao family has another good news, he will definitely add another grandson to the Emperor next year."
Xiao Yuhan blushed slightly with embarrassment.
Li Xiangru's smile remained unchanged, and her right hand that was shrunk in her sleeve suddenly clenched tightly. The long nails stung the palm of her hand deeply.
The battle for the throne between the third prince and the fourth prince was more thrilling than the flash of swords. She, the fourth prince, could not touch matters above the court, and she did not have to worry about them.
But as a daughter-in-law, it is inevitable to compete with each other.
Zhao Changqing was smart and smooth. He had been married to the second prince for several years and had a son and a daughter. Because the second prince had a mouth disease, he was not eligible for the throne. Zhao Changqing did not fight for it and was very popular.
And although she and Xiao Yuhan were classmates and good friends, now they had a subtle rivalry due to the competition between the third and fourth princes for the throne.
Empress Yu was partial to the third prince, and even praised Xiao Yuhan. She was particularly dignified in the Cining Palace, and she had the power of the Li family, so she was no weaker than Xiao Yuhan.
After Xiao Yuhan received the good news, this balance was completely broken.
Queen Yu would mention it to Emperor Jianwen from time to time, and Emperor Jianwen was naturally happy. Xiao Yuhan was in the limelight, so she could only give in three points.
Li Xiangru lowered his head slightly, his eyes falling on his flat belly, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
