Chapter 984: Chapter 984-Meaning
Xie Xian was the Grand Tutor of two Emperors, yet he had only taught such a thing. Empress Dowager Xiao could not help but suspect that Xie Xian had ill intentions. It wasn’t that she hadn’t tested the little Emperor before, but she really couldn’t.
He was short-sighted and believed everything he heard.
Although filial–
In the morning and evening, she would visit the Peaceful Life Palace to pay her respects. Empress Dowager Xiao could not find fault with this. She was kind and did not have any schemes. Looking at him was like looking at another Consort Pan.
However, the imperial court of Daliang needed an emperor with political foresight, not a kind and honest young Langjun.
Alright, this time, he was beaten up by the Xie twins. Even though he didn’t hit the Emperor, it was true that the Emperor’s dignity was completely gone.
Other people would not care about the face of the royal family if they spread the news. After all, you yourself did not care. Those people only knew how to spread the news. The more they spread, the more exaggerated and dramatic it became. How could that be? He definitely did. It was just that the Emperor could not afford to offend Xie Xian, so he endured it.
In the end, it would be useless even if the Emperor stood out to clarify things personally. It would be useless even if Xie Xian stood out.
People would only believe what they hoped for, what they were willing to believe.
Empress Dowager Xiao coughed. She was thinking too far ahead. With her body, she did not know if she would have the chance to see the future development with her own eyes.
Exactly which step would Xie Xian take in the end?
###
It didn’t take long for Xie Xian to hear about the Xie family’s twins causing a ruckus in the harem. Hence, he specially waited outside the palace gate to pick up Xiao Baoxin and her daughter.
The twins were like frosted eggplants as they followed behind Xiao Baoxin listlessly, not daring to make a sound.
Xiao Baoxin was angry, but he didn’t know what he was angry about.
She more or less understood how her mother, Madam Xie, felt when she saw her causing trouble. Wrong, it was definitely not the twins. It was those gossipers who gossiped behind her back. However, the twins had attacked and almost beat up the emperor. If word got out, it would be the twins ‘reputation that would be damaged.
Xiao Baoxin did not care about her reputation. She could fight back with her fists.
However, it was a different story for the twins.
After all, she was a young lady. If her bad reputation spread early, it would probably hinder her future marriage. She had stepped on dog shit, met Xie Xian, and was tolerant and loving towards her, but how many Xie Xian were there in this world? Most of them were rumors, villains who acted one way on the surface but acted another way behind their backs.
There was a better solution, but the twins used violence to solve the problem time and time again. This was because of her influence.
Xie Xian could see the crux of her dilemma without her saying anything. After returning to the residence, he smiled and punished the twins to copy the Book of Filial Piety ten times. After sending his daughter away, he began to coax his wife.
“.. This is my fault.” Xiao Baoxin frowned in distress.”
Xie Xian: ” The child’s beauty is also up to you. It’s impossible to be picky. We can do whatever we want, right?”
When Xiao Baoxin heard this, his mouth almost crooked from anger. These words…It was too sincere and heart-wrenching.
Xie Xian smiled. He was already over thirty-two years old. Although he did not look old at all, his temperament was becoming more and more mature. However, it was inevitable that he grew a beard, which hung gently in front of his chest. When he smiled, his beard trembled.
He hugged Xiao Baoxin in his arms.”
“Husband is teasing you. Our Cheng Niang and Jin Niang are very good, don’t worry too much.”At least, Cheng Niang was not as straightforward as Jin Niang. She was just cooperating with her sister, but she was actually up to something.
As for Jin Niang, she might have been used to hearing people’s hearts since she was young and knew too much about the dark side, which made her seem a little extreme. However, she was not someone who bullied others. Her character was still good.
“I know that my wife is worried about my daughter’s reputation. It just so happens that they have caused such a big incident. This time, I will take it as a punishment. Don’t let them leave the residence for the next half a year.”
“You’re so busy…”
“Those are our biological daughters. No matter how busy I am, can’t I take the time to teach them?”Xie Xian didn’t mind. He couldn’t let his wife worry.
Speaking of this, this matter could actually be considered as a new chapter.
No one expected Pan Shuo to personally come to propose marriage half a month later.
“Who is it? Who are you talking about?” Xie Xian and Xiao Baoxin suspected that there was something wrong with their ears.
Pan Shuo looked helpless. He had no choice but to send his entire family out to persuade him. If he didn’t show up, he would be ignoring the rise and fall of his family. It was as if he was watching the Pan family’s destruction.
“Yes, Emperor.”
Xiao Baoxin and Xie Xian looked at each other and shook their heads.
“Alright, I know what you and your wife mean.”Pan Shuo stood up and left. He didn’t think much of this matter. Others might not know Xie Xian, but how could he not know? Emperor Yu Heng had rejected his marriage proposal with the Xie Clan because he had repeatedly talked to him about this matter. Even the great clans still looked down on the Imperial Family, and even the loyal officials like Xie Xian were no exception.
She was Xie Xian’s sister, and Xie Xian didn’t want to do it.
Then, Emperor Yong Ping stared at his daughter and son. Even if he had to give up one of them and become in-laws, Xie Xian was still a soft nail.
The current Jianxing Emperor wanted to marry Xie Xian’s daughter.
Why?
Just because you’re willing?
Right now, everyone in the world was watching this for real. Xie Xian’s power was so great that even the court would tremble three times with a stomp of his foot. The twins were something that Xie Xian held in his hands and doted on. How could he casually give them to the little Emperor of Jianxing, who even he looked like he was weak?
Are you blind?
Did he receive some inhuman stimulation?
“I told you I couldn’t do this. I didn’t believe it. Let me tell you, this matter has nothing to do with me. I’m just going through it once and for all.”It was called being clear when you left yourself out.
Xie Xian couldn’t help but laugh. He quickly got up and pulled Pan Shuo back. He served him good wine and food, and then drove him back to the Pan residence in a drunk car.
Madam Xu was dumbfounded when she received him. Pan Shuo was the only one who could drink so much at the Xie family’s house.
He was the only one who dared.
“.. Whether he agreed or not, he had a definite answer. The whole family was waiting with their necks stretched.”Madam Madam Xu muttered. When Pan Shuo left the house early in the morning, many people came to inquire.
They all hoped that this matter would be successful. They all hoped that the Pan and Xie families would be closer to each other so that the throne would be completely secured.
Looking at the man who was vomiting on the ground, Madam Xu wanted to kick him off the bed.
“How can you agree? You guys are really bold. Xie Xian was not someone who could send his daughter to the palace. The palace…How messy would it be? If her daughter was sent in, would the Emperor be able to watch over her alone? If the emperor does it, the officials will not do it either.”
It was unknown what was wrong with Consort Pan. She had taken a fancy to the Xie family and wanted to marry them. In the end, she had dragged the entire Pan family down with her. It was as if she had been injected with chicken blood.
“.. You guys are daydreaming…” Pan Shuo wiped his mouth with his sleeve.”
“I say, even if Xie Xian betrothed Jin Niang to Little Seven, he wouldn’t betroth her to the Emperor.”
Madam Xu’s eyelids twitched and her eyebrows shot up. She was about to ask more when she saw Pan Shuo roll back onto the couch and start snoring.
“These words…What do you mean?”
