Mr. Xie, who had recently become the new doctor of the Household Department and was very proud of his success, now had a handsome face as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"This evil girl!" Xie Jun gritted his teeth with sparks in his eyes: "She did such a shameless thing!"
"Even if you want to enter the fourth prince's palace, you should make a serious plan and enter with the courtesy of a concubine."
"What does this mean now?"
"Without a name or status, she was carried into the palace of the Fourth Prince as a concubine in a soft sedan chair."
"The fourth prince and concubine sent someone to deliver the letter after everyone entered the house. This is obviously a deliberate attempt to humiliate the Xie family, and also deliberately humiliate you, the seventh prince and concubine!"
His biological father is shameless and has no face to show off to others. After all, Xie Yunxi is Xie Mingxi’s sister. If word of this spreads out, won’t Xie Mingxi’s reputation be affected as well?
The more Xie Jun thought about it, the angrier he became!
Xie Mingxi, who specially returned home to "visit the patient", was much calmer than Xie Jun, who was filled with indignation. She said calmly: "The matter has come to this, and being angry is of no use."
"It's just a joke, I don't care, and my father doesn't need to be upset."
"Since the day when her father and Princess Yongning reconciled, Xie Yunxi broke away from the Xie family and moved into Princess Yongning's mansion. King Huainan refused to agree, otherwise, she would have changed her surname to Sheng."
"It's her business to humble herself and become a concubine. Why should my father be so angry?"
"If someone uses this to make fun of me, I will definitely let her know what it means to embarrass oneself!"
Compared with Xie Jun's rage, Xie Mingxi is calm and indifferent, almost cold. When talking about Xie Yunxi, she is cold and ruthless, like a stranger.
Xie Jun's rising anger gradually cooled down in Xie Mingxi's indifferent eyes.
Neither her biological mother, Aunt Ding, nor her brother, Xie Yuanting, could move Xie Mingxi. How could Xie Yunxi move her in the least?
Xie Mingxi is really cold-hearted!
As a biological father, he is so embarrassed!
…
After a moment of silence, Xie Jun whispered: "Ming Niang, if I do anything that I'm sorry for you in the future, will you leave me, your biological father, so mercilessly without asking any questions?"
Xie Mingxi looked at Xie Jun intently for a moment, until Xie Jun felt a chill in his heart. Then he smiled and said, "Father loves me so much. How could he do anything that he can't do to me?"
Xie Jun: "..."
Xie Jun's eyes were a little complicated, and a fatherly smile appeared on his face: "Of course. You are smart, capable, and so filial and obedient. I love you before it's too late, and I will never let you down."
It's so easy to talk to smart people.
Xie Mingxi smiled and quietly changed the subject: "How many days did father take leave?"
Xie Jun smiled bitterly: "When I first entered the Household Department, there were many colleagues who were jealous and dissatisfied. However, Xie Yunxi entered the Fourth Prince's Mansion as a concubine at this time, and someone deliberately mentioned this matter in front of me to embarrass me.
.”
"I have to take a few days off to avoid the limelight."
Xie Mingxi said calmly: "If it were me, I would take advantage of this matter to completely sever the father-daughter relationship with Xie Yunxi, so as not to harm the Xie family's reputation in the future."
Xie Jun: "..."
Xie Jun has never been a person who values love and justice. In his eyes, the mere relationship between father and daughter is far less important than his own reputation and future.
The reason why it has not reached this step before is because Xie Jun was hesitant whether to place a bet on Xie Yunxi.
If the fourth prince ascends to the position of crown prince, Xie Yunxi will have the opportunity to be favored again, or give birth to an heir... Who knows, the Xie family will also be able to reap some benefits in the future. This is why Xie Jun acted like this, deliberately reporting illness and returning to the Xie Mansion to recuperate.
.
It can be considered as a way to ease the matter a little, by pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Unfortunately, Xie Mingxi saw his intentions and made his words clear and clear.
Even if Xie Jun wanted to pretend to be stupid, it would be impossible.
…
Xie Jun coughed and forced a smile to explain: "Ming Niang, you misunderstood, I have no intention of swaying..."
"Father," Xie Mingxi interrupted Xie Jun with a smile: "You are now a fourth-grade Hubu doctor, a serious six-level official. If you work hard for a few years, you may have the opportunity to go further in the future."
"In the dispute between the third prince and the fourth prince for the East Palace, the third prince has already gained the upper hand. I dare to say that within three years, the position of crown prince will be decided, and it will definitely be the third prince."
"Once the third prince becomes the crown prince, the fourth prince will be in the most embarrassing and difficult situation in the future. Whether Xie Yunxi is favored or not, it doesn't matter whether he can give birth to an heir or not."
"My father is a smart man, so he should naturally know how to choose."
Xie Jun: "..."
Xie Mingxi had a smile on her lips and spoke softly, without the slightest hint of threat. In Xie Jun's ears, it was a mixed bag of emotions, including everything.
Thinking of Xie Yunxi who was impulsive, stupid and being plotted, and then looking at Xie Mingxi who was confident, calm and calculated, there was a huge difference.
With Xie Mingxi here, Xie Yunxi may never have a chance to turn around.
However, Xie Jun still hesitated: "Ming Niang, why are you so sure that the emperor will definitely appoint the third prince as the heir apparent?"
The third prince is indeed in the limelight, but this does not mean that the fourth prince is incapable of competing! How dare Xie Mingxi be so sure?
Xie Mingxi smiled faintly: "Because, I believe in Queen Yu."
Xie Jun: "..."
This reason is indeed enough.
Xie Jun quickly said: "I will go back to the Ministry of Household Affairs tomorrow as an errand."
…
The Fourth Prince's Mansion.
Several princes came together. After Li Xiangru heard the news, he immediately came out to greet them.
The Tian family values rules and etiquette. The second and third princes politely called out to their third younger brother and sister, and the fifth and seventh princes also raised their hands in salute: "We brothers have taken the liberty of coming to disturb you. Please forgive me for your trouble."
Li Xiangru felt as if he had been soaked in bitter water for the past two days, full of confusion and confusion. He responded with a smile while quietly glancing at the fourth prince.
The fourth prince still had that cold look that kept strangers away from him.
However, in front of the brothers, the fourth prince did not embarrass Li Xiangru and said calmly: "We brothers will have a few drinks tonight. You ask the kitchen to cook some good dishes and prepare some good wine."
Finally he was willing to look at her.
Li Xiangru felt relieved, and he responded with a smile, apologized, and retreated to make arrangements.
After the banquet was arranged, Li Xiangru went to Xie Yunxi's yard.
Xie Yunxi stayed in the yard all day, feeling full of depression and hesitation, but had nowhere to complain. When she met Li Xiangru, she felt like a relative: "Yunxi has met the prince and concubine."
"Sister Yunxi," Li Xiangru took Xie Yunxi's hand affectionately and said with a low smile, "His Highness specially invited all the princes to drink tonight, which shows that he is in a good mood."
"Hurry up and dress up. When the banquet is over, I will lead His Highness to your courtyard. Tonight can be regarded as your and His Highness's bridal night."
Xie Yunxi, who was originally uneasy, turned red with embarrassment after hearing this, and her eyes shone with shyness and hope.
