Chapter 634: Getting Old
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although Xie Pinggang looked down on Xie Qiao, he could understand that. His sister was young, and Master Mo was already in her thirties or forties. She was experienced, so she should be more stable.
Xie Qiao looked even more timid now.
Why did Mo Chusheng look as stable as an old dog?
It was because she had a thick layer of makeup on her face. Even if she was afraid, no one would be able to tell!
Now that her eldest brother was boasting about Master Mo, if one day he found out the truth…
He would kill her!
Xie Qiao smiled at Xie Pinggang very gently, looking like a frightened little rabbit.
Xie Pinggang did not understand won’s thoughts. At this mont, he only thought that Xie Qiao was admiring Mo Chusheng.
“We’re just boosting your courage to be wanting you to learn from Master Mo. In the future, you will beco the Princess Consort. You shouldn’t wander around like Master Mo does,” Xie Pinggang added.
Xie Qiao was sensible and listened to his instructions.
…
With the Emperor’s imperial edict, this matter was set in stone.
Unless the Xie family had committed a major cri, the Emperor would not be able to take back the edict. Those who had been speculating and suspecting earlier were now as shocked as if they had been struck by lightning.
At the Dong Residence, Dong Xiyun directly tore up the wedding dress that she was preparing to embroider.
Dong Yiyun, the second daughter of the Dong family, had just entered the house. When she saw the ss on the ground, she frowned slightly. “Eldest Sister.”
Dong Xiyun’s face stiffened a little. Then, she turned to look at Dong Yiyun and said indifferently, “What are you doing here? Are you showing off to that the Xie family has achieved greatness?!”
Dong Yiyun’s face imdiately turned red, and she was a little angry. “Eldest Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? If this word gets out, won’t I have to hang myself with a piece of white silk?!”
Dong Xiyun knew that she was too angry, so she acted impulsively.
However, she really did not expect that Xie Qiao would actually beco the Princess Consort!
Moreover, the Emperor had personally decreed the marriage. According to her father, the Ministry of Rites and the directorate of astronomy had already been coming up with the date. Even the grand preceptor has been invited. They insist on setting the perfect date!
It could be seen how much the Emperor valued the Princess Consort!
As for her? She had also been given the title of the Prince’s main consort. Now, it was only an internal decision. There was no decree of marriage at all!
The Emperor’s mind had gone astray!
He had initially thought that the Princess Consort would be that old Taoist master. It turned out that it was all nonsense spread by Zhao Xuzhi!
“I’m just a little upset. You know that the eldest lady of the Xie family had deliberately targeted in the academy, causing to be ridiculed by everyone!” Dong Xiyun was so angry that she was grinding her teeth.
Dong Yiyun sighed. “Eldest Sister, actually... you will feel much better if you think it through. The Crown Prince is the eldest son of the first wife. No matter how much the Emperor dotes on him, it is reasonable. Because of this, the Princess Consort is loved by everyone. It’s not that Eldest Sister can’t be compared to the Xie family’s daughter.”
Her eldest sister had always looked down on the Crown Prince and had always had her eyes on the Fourth Prince. She knew this.
However, in her opinion, the Crown Prince was the most honorable one.
Even their father said the Emperor was biased, but... was he not right to be biased?
She was the direct daughter. If the concubine’s daughter was more dignified than she was, as well as letting the concubine’s son inherit more than half of the family property one day, would it not be more reasonable for her to be upset about?!
Unfortunately, she could not figure it out.
She was also a direct daughter, but she would gossip with the concubines and single out the stepmother. That was just wrong.
Dong Xiyun’s eyes flashed with disgust.
“You like that Young Lady Xie very much, don’t you? After all, she’s Xie Pinggang’s younger sister.” Dong Xiyun suddenly got straight to the point. “You’re getting old.. Now that I’m engaged, it’s your turn. Do you want Father to send soone to the Xie family to inquire for you?”
