Chapter 377 - 377: Love Message
377
The two of them chatted as they ate.
When the two of them were alone, they didn’t have so many scruples. They didn’t talk when they ate or slept. When the two of them met, they had endless things to say. To put it bluntly, they would only have nothing to say when they fell asleep. When they were together, there would always be something to talk about.
Xie Xian took a sip of tea and started talking about Xiao Ning’s marriage.
The war had broken out, and the Ministry of Rites was divided into two factions. One faction advocated for the suspension of the wedding, but they were still prepared to hold the wedding once the news of victory came. The other faction advocated proceeding according to the original plan. They didn’t say it verbally, but what they meant was that if the war continued for three to five years, would you let the emperor live alone all the way?
Emperor Yong Ping didn’t know what to do. He was already blinded by the battle reports that came back every day. He didn’t have any other thoughts other than the battle at the front line.
“What do you mean?” Xiao Baoxin continued.
“Of course, we will proceed according to the original plan.”
These words were said with skill. From the big picture, there was naturally a small picture.
For Xiao Ning, it was naturally better to get married after the war. If the situation was not good, she might not be able to become the Empress and still be able to keep her life, as long as the Xiao family knew how to behave. Once they got married and Xiao Ning became the Empress, then once Emperor Yong Ping was defeated, Xiao Ning would have no chance of survival.
The Xiao family could be considered to be bound to Emperor Yong Ping.
Xiao Baoxin ate the lamb. It was roasted until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was simply too delicious. However, after hearing his words, it was obvious that there was no meaning to it. In this world, women were like duckweed. The chances of them being able to make their own choices
were pitifully few.
“But if she was your biological sister, would you still say that?
“So, I didn’t let Seventh Madame marry a member of the imperial family.”Xie
Xian said calmly.
Seeing Xiao Baoxin reveal an expression of ‘as expected,’ Xie Xian then smiled and said,”However, if I agree, or if a marriage agreement has already been formed, I will still let her marry him.”
Xiao Baoxin was shocked. He obviously didn’t believe it. “Really?”
“This isn’t about seeking benefits and avoiding harm. This is about righteousness. When a man and woman get married, you have to do it, no matter what happens to the other party. They couldn’t be in the limelight. When the flowers were blooming, everyone wanted to add icing on the cake. Once the other party was in trouble, they would immediately abandon them. If the commoners were like this, wasn’t the royal family the same?”
“In life, there are things a gentleman should do and things he should not do.” Xiao Baoxin’s face was a little embarrassed.” You’re a gentleman, alright? I’m a villain!”
Xie Xian smiled so widely that his teeth could not be seen. He did not know if she had realized it herself, but she had become more coquettish recently. Her little face was red, and her eyes were still shining. Her mouth, which had eaten meat, was pouted with oil. It was a little greasy, but it was even more adorable.
He cupped her face and kissed her on the lips.
-I know that you’re thinking about her because you’re close to Biao Younger
Sister Xiao.”
■■But in life, there are things a gentleman should do and things he shouldn’t do.”Xiao Baoxin replied with a snort, but he was also a little discouraged.
The reason she was discouraged was actually because what Xie Xian said made sense. She was too petty.
However, not everyone could achieve the great cause by themselves.
She couldn’t do it anyway.
Xie Xian did not expect that his casual words would make his wife feel down. She was clearly beaming with joy just now, but now, she did not even look like
she was smiling.
It was his fault.
-Celestial Empress’s wedding is inevitable, there’s no reason for the Empress position to be empty.”He said. The two of them really had nothing better to do. Why did they have to fight over this matter?
-To put it bluntly, this is just the personal will of a small group of people. They are always worried that it will affect the morale of the frontline. They were working hard while the Emperor was holding a feast. On the other hand, the Emperor had even postponed his wedding. Did it mean that he did not have the confidence to fight this war and did not even dare to get married first? Or did the officials not think well of Emperor Yong Ping and did not want his daughter to marry him?”
Xiao Baoxin pondered for a moment, and that was indeed the case.
■■Therefore, there are only some people who are blindly boasting. We don’t have
a chance to choose at alL.Then why are you telling me this?”
Alright, got it. He was teaching her about the scheming in the imperial court again. Human nature was dark and… To achieve great righteousness.
No matter how unwilling she was, she had to give herself up when it was time.
Was this the reason?
Seeing Xiao Baoxin’s gaze, Xie Xian understood that she had her own understanding.
“Actually, I just want to chat with Wifey for a while more and talk to you more. Looking at your happiness, resentment, and obsession, I feel happy from the bottom of my heart.”
Xiao Baoxin,”! also believe in your evil.”
What was he doing? Why was he playing with her?
She rolled her eyes at him angrily.” You’re spouting nonsense. Everything that’s flipped around is your logic.”
“Of course. I didn’t read all those books for nothing. I still saved some.”Xie Xian narrowed his eyes and smiled. His wife was definitely not as educated as him, but her hands were definitely not only faster than his, but also faster than the
average person.
Look, just thinking about it made her hand come up.
“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, wifey.” He immediately grabbed a piece of mutton and put it into Xiao Baoxin’s mouth.
Xiao Baoxin was furious. He was both amused and angry.
“You’re feeding me like a pig!”
“Nonsense! How can there be such a beautiful pig like my wife in this world!?”Xie Xian reprimanded in all seriousness.
As he spoke and laughed, the sadness from before was blown away by a gust of wind. In fact, both of them knew that living in this world, not only women, but also men, each had their own difficulties. However, relatively speaking, at least the men were happier than the women who lived in the back of the house all
day.
It was just that the matter had happened to Xiao Ning, so they were just lamenting.
There was something that Xie Xian had been unwilling to ask, and he did not dare to ask.
Xiao Baoxin wasn’t a very smart person, and he didn’t know how to read people’s expressions. However, she had the innate skill to pull off the little abacus in his heart.
“If it was in my position, as long as I don’t like him, I wouldn’t marry him even if he was the emperor.”Xiao Baoxin said confidently. Just like Yuan Chen, even if he was a well-known scholar, with that flirtatious little slut, a good for both men and women, no matter how good her background was, she would not marry him. She would use all her skills to ruin this marriage.
Even if it was an emperor who would change dynasties in the future, if he was disloyal once, he would definitely not use it a hundred times.
‘■ If I take a fancy to someone…” She raised her eyebrows and winked at Xie Xian. “Then I don’t care about anything. I’ll do anything to marry him.
Xie Xian only felt his blood rush up, and his handsome face turned red. He felt that he was burning up.
This little vixen, we’re just talking about the facts. You’re still taking the opportunity to pass on your feelings!
Without giving him a chance to react, Xiao Baoxin hooked his neck with a backhand…
“This glib little girl is too cute.”
The romantic sentiment that Xiao Baoxin had raised was destroyed by Xie Xian’s heartfelt words, and he even made a big red face. Ignoring Xie Xian’s pouting lips, she withdrew first..
