"Has Princess Yue planned everything?" Xu Xianfei asked.
"Empress, don't worry. It has already been planned. It can be considered good fortune for Lian Ru Yue to marry into our Xiao family." Xiao Rou said with a slight smile.
"That will depend on wangfei Yue's decision." Xu Xianfei's eyes revealed an almost imperceptible gloominess.
"However, Rou-Er has never been able to understand one thing. I wonder, why does the Empress hate Lian Rue?" When Xu Xianfei sent someone to look for her, she was also surprised.
"A mere county magistrate isn't worth my respect, but I would like to become the eighth prince's consort, Wei Ru of the Wei family, a great general of the country, to be the eighth prince's consort. However, Lianyue has been pestering the eighth prince all along, and I think that only by matching this Lian Rue with someone else can I make her give up on the eighth prince."
"Esteemed Empress, Lian Ruyue seems to be high up on the surface, but her bones are actually extremely filthy. She looks forward to the princes in the middle and secretly picks from them, not even knowing what she is." Xiao Rou coldly snorted as she ridiculed him.
Feng Lingyue was bored out of her mind. She leaned her elbows on the stone table, resting her cheeks on her hands, slowly closing her eyes, closing them. Her face was about to hit the table when a figure flashed past — —
A large palm pressed down on the cold and hard tabletop. Her face unerringly fell on the back of his hand, avoiding the pain of a collision.
But she didn't wake up. She really fell asleep on the back of his hand.
Xiao He stood by her side, using the back of one hand as her pillow and the other hand as her pillow. He raised his hand to block the sunlight from falling on her face.
He quietly looked at the sleeping person in front of him. His skin was so white that it was almost transparent under the dim light. His round nose, full dark red lips, and long and narrow eyelashes all gave him a feeling that a lover would see him for the first time.
"Ling Yue'er, have a good night's sleep. It's fine if you don't participate in this boring banquet, but it'll save you the trouble of thinking about it."
The corner of Xiao He's mouth curled up into a smile. In his mind, he remembered that year, the first time he saw Lin Yue'er was in Grand Tutor Wei's study hall —
At that time, as the youngest imperial bodyguard, he was allowed to walk freely within the palace. During those days, he was ordered by the Emperor to accompany the crown prince, and when the crown prince was in the study, he would wait at the last seat.
On that day, a little princess, yawning, arrived late and was punished by the strict Imperial Tutor to stand by his side.
At first, she seemed to be unwilling to accept this fact. With her red cheeks puffed up, her almond-shaped eyes were wide open as she stared at Grand Tutor Wei, who was shaking his head on the podium. When he saw such a lively person, he felt that it was mystical.
After a while, her large eyes slowly narrowed, and the anger in her eyes was gone. She nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice as she dozed off.
"Princess Eleven!" At this time, a loud shout came from the front.
"Here!" She jerked her head up and stared blankly at him.
"Princess, please answer this old subject's question …" Imperial Tutor Wei stroked his white beard and looked at her. He was obviously very angry about her dozing off.
"Th-that … is …" Princess Eleven stuttered as her face flushed red. She didn't know what to say as she inwardly cursed. She'd been dozing off and hadn't heard the tutor at all.
Seeing that she was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears, Xiao He suddenly reached out and picked up the hand she had placed under the table. She jumped in shock, hurriedly looking at her own hand, then at the person holding her hand.
She looked at him in surprise.
"Princess Eleven …" At this moment, it was obvious that Grand Tutor Wei was about to lose his temper.
"I, I know …" She blushed and read out the answer he wrote in her palm. Only then did Imperial Tutor Wei let her go and let her sit back down.
Xiao He stood at the back and watched her return to the front. After she sat down for a while, she turned her head to look at him and then quickly turned her head back.
After he left the classroom, he stood there and waited to accompany the crown prince back to the Eastern Palace. The little princess looked left and right and found that no one was paying attention to him, so she quickly ran to his side and whispered to him, "Thank you!" Then, he quickly ran away, his ears turning even redder than before.
"Second brother, second brother …" At this moment, an impatient voice came from outside the pavilion.
Xiao He frowned and continued to maintain his original position with both hands. When he turned around, he saw Xiao Rou standing outside the pavilion and calling out to him. He shook his head at her, indicating for her to be quiet.
Xiao Rou lifted her leg and discovered that Princess Eleven was sleeping on her stomach. Xiao He gestured for Xiao Rou to take her cloak and fold it over her body before placing it under Princess Eleven's face. After that, he walked out of the pavilion and asked,
"What is it?"
"Come here." Xiao Rou was afraid that the Eleventh Princess would hear her words, so she pulled Xiao He to the side and said in a low voice, "Second brother, I've found a way to thoroughly teach Lianyue a lesson."
"What method?" Xiao He asked.
"Let her marry into our Xiao family. Once she becomes a member of the Xiao family, she won't be able to escape our palms even if she has wings. At that time, rubbing Yuan Yuan will depend on our mood." Xiao Rou said.
"Marry into the Xiao family?" Xiao He lightly frowned. "Who's going to marry her?"
"Second brother, marry her." A calculating light flashed in Xiao Rou's eyes.
"I'll marry her?" Xiao He's frown deepened.
Xiao Rou didn't notice the displeasure in Xiao Rou's eyes at all and carefully analyzed, "Originally Third Brother's marriage was the best, but Third Brother isn't married yet. If Third Brother's wife were to enter the family, then I wouldn't want her to be my legal Third Sister-in-Law. Moreover, she can't take the place of the princess as the official wife, so she can only be a concubine. Moreover, Second Brother, you are wise and wise, and I'm afraid you're the only one who can suppress this slut when compared to your elder brother.
It would be better to retreat and let her become a member of the Xiao family. At that time, even if she dies, we can just tell the world that she died from a serious illness, and that it would be impossible to even think about it at home. Look, this time, when Aunt Lian died in Lian's house, even the outside world would say the same. "
"Then what are you going to do?" Xiao He asked.
Xiao Rou saw that Xiao He didn't object, so she thought that he had accepted her determination. Thus, she told him in detail about how she had deceived him into becoming Xiao He's concubine.
