Five hundred and thirtieth chapters wait for the bed
No matter how scheming and scheming they may be in private, the princes are harmonious and respectful in person. It is common for them to interact with each other.
All the brothers gathered at the Fourth Prince's Mansion tonight to congratulate the Fourth Prince on his concubine's arrival. Naturally, they all unanimously "dealt with" the Fourth Prince. They each took turns to propose a toast.
No matter how good the fourth prince was in drinking, he couldn't help but everyone took turns to drink, and he soon became drunk.
"Brother Four Emperors, let me toast you again." Sheng Hong smiled and raised his glass.
The fourth prince glanced at Sheng Hong and suddenly said a heart-breaking remark: "I took Miss Xie Er as my concubine. Could it be that the seventh prince feels that his face is shameless, so he keeps asking for wine?"
None of the princes opened their mouths to relieve the siege, and each of them stood back and watched the excitement.
Sheng Hong smiled leisurely: "Xie Yunxi has turned against the Xie family a long time ago and no longer recognizes Xie Jun as her father. Whoever she is as a concubine has nothing to do with the Xie family, let alone me. The Fourth Emperor's words are so shameless, I don't know how to follow them.
Why talk about it?"
Pretending!
The fourth prince sneered in his heart. He was originally quite angry that Li Xiang and Xie Yunxi were working together to scheme against him. But now he changed his mind.
Having one more woman in the inner house is of no importance to him.
In the future, we might as well use Xie Yunxi's incident to confront Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi from time to time.
Thinking of this, the fourth prince's mood improved quite a bit. He raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.
…
After the banquet was over, the fourth prince was already half drunk.
However, he didn't appear drunk in front of others. His eyes were just a little distracted.
Li Xiangru brought the sobering soup and said softly: "This is the sobering soup I cooked myself. Your Highness, take a bowl and sober up!"
Li Xiangru never cooked when she was in the boudoir, but after marrying the fourth prince, she learned to make a few dishes and snacks that the fourth prince loved. She also learned to cook hangover soup.
It's a pity that she didn't express this thoughtfulness and tenderness, and the fourth prince didn't seem to notice it either.
The fourth prince took the hangover soup, took a few sips casually, and put it aside.
Li Xiangru smiled tentatively again and said: "It's been a few days since sister Yun Xi entered the mansion. His Highness has never called me lucky, so why not tonight..."
The fourth prince opened his mouth to interrupt Li Xiangru: "Let Xie Yunxi sleep with me tonight."
Li Xiangru: "..."
I had all the words I had prepared before I could say them, but they were blocked.
I originally thought that I would have to spend a lot of time to lure the fourth prince to Xie Yunxi's courtyard, but I didn't expect that the fourth prince had this plan...
Li Xiangru's heart was full of jealousy, and she tried to force a smile on her face: "Yes, I will make arrangements right away."
The fourth prince hummed.
Li Xiangru gritted his teeth and suppressed the sourness in his heart.
That night, the fourth prince rested in Xie Yunxi's courtyard.
…
The next day, the fourth prince got up early and went to court.
As usual, Li Xiangru got up before dawn and prepared breakfast for the fourth prince. Unexpectedly, when breakfast was ready, the fourth prince showed up. He only sent his chamberlain, Mr. An, to deliver a message.
"His Royal Highness has had breakfast in Miss Xie's courtyard and went directly to court." Eunuch An said with a smile on his face: "The fourth prince and concubine are invited to have their own meal without waiting for Your Highness."
Li Xiangru: "..."
The two maids rewarded by Concubine Li have never had this honor.
In just one night, the fourth prince already looked at Xie Yunxi with such special eyes! He even had breakfast in her courtyard!
Li Xiangru felt sour, bitter and angry. However, in front of Eunuch An, she would never lose her composure and showed the graceful, generous, virtuous and decent smile that a princess should have: "I'd like to trouble Eunuch An to send me a message."
The personal maid has already delivered the purse.
Eunuch An felt at ease. If the fourth prince asked about a small and innocuous matter, it wouldn't hurt if he said it.
Sure enough, Eunuch An was not wrong at all. Li Xiangru pretended to be casual and inquired: "Sister Yunxi has just entered the inner house, and she is not familiar with His Highness's temperament. I don't know if there is anything inappropriate in his words and actions."
This is to find out whether Xie Yunxi has won the favor of the fourth prince.
Eunuch An carefully thought about his words and responded: "I dare not say anything about my master's affairs. However, from my perspective, Your Highness today is the same as usual, there is nothing different."
In other words, the fourth prince treated Xie Yunxi mediocrely... Speaking of which, even when she and the fourth prince were newly married, she had never seen him warm, attentive and considerate.
The fourth prince is as cold as ice and is very indifferent to women. Although Xie Yunxi is charming and charming, she may not really catch the eye of the fourth prince.
The fourth prince took the initiative to show up, perhaps because he wanted to use this incident to irritate the seventh prince and Xie Mingxi.
After thinking about this, Li Xiangru's mood didn't feel much better.
No matter how virtuous and generous a woman is, it is hard not to feel sour when she personally pushes her husband to another woman. What's more, Li Xiangru is jealous and stingy. All the virtuous and dignified things are just fake...
"Prince Princess, Miss Xie has come to say hello." The maid's voice interrupted Li Xiangru's chaotic thoughts.
As a concubine, her status is actually quite embarrassing. Xie Yunxi is different from the two maids rewarded by Li Fei, so the maids simply call her Miss Xie vaguely.
Li Xiangru came to her senses and nodded slightly: "Let her come in."
…
After a while, Xie Yunxi walked in with a shy look.
"Yunxi pays his respects to the prince and concubine." Xie Yunxi saluted. When he squatted down, he was slightly twisted, and his pretty face blushed with embarrassment, as beautiful as a peach blossom.
That touch of beauty was like a thorn, piercing deeply into Li Xiangru's eyes.
Li Xiangru suppressed the surging jealousy in his heart, smiled at Xie Yunxi and said, "Get up quickly." He then ordered the maid to give him a seat.
A concubine was not qualified to sit in front of the princess. The so-called seat was just a round wooden stool, and Xie Yunxi could only half-sit.
Even so, Xie Yunxi had to be grateful and bowed again to express his gratitude.
It’s that awkward look of touching a painful spot again!
After the fourth prince got drunk last night, he was not gentle at all and was almost rude. Xie Yunxi's appearance was definitely not meant to hurt Li Xiangru's heart.
Li Xiangru gritted his teeth secretly, and the smile on his face became more friendly and gentle: "We sisters don't need to be so reserved when we speak."
After Xie Yunxi sat down, Li Xiangru said with a smile: "His Highness had breakfast in your courtyard today before going to court, which shows that he is quite fond of you. You will serve His Highness well in the future. When you have children in the future, I will definitely
I will enter the palace for you and please grant me the title of concubine to the prince."
Xie Yunxi was filled with joy when she heard this, and responded respectfully: "It is my duty to serve Your Highness. If I have done anything wrong, I sincerely ask your forgiveness, the Princess and the Concubine."
Li Xiangru smiled and said: "You are so smart and smart, as long as you are willing to serve me carefully, there is nothing wrong with you."
He also ordered people to watch and reward him.
Xie Yunxi accepted the generous reward and spent half a day talking with Li Xiangru before retiring.
That night, the fourth prince rested in Xie Yunxi's courtyard again.
