Chapter 1090 - Inexperienced Fool

Xie Qiao was still sitting calmly. She was not angry, nor was she flustered. She was smiling as if it was natural.

The expression on Concubine Rong’s face changed. She was very angry, but she did not want to get angry. She could only suppress her anger. “I wonder what’s so special about the Princess Consort that the Crown Prince has taken a fancy to you.”

“Perhaps it’s because it makes me special that my father is a bandit?” Xie Qiao casually replied.

When she said that, a few people could not help but laugh.

Was that not special?

In hundreds of years, they had never met such a person who was successfully recruited and raised his daughter to become the Princess Consort.

“Since the Princess Consort has already married into the imperial family, she needs to learn more etiquette. It’s not good to keep saying that she’s a bandit. Otherwise, what do you think the imperial family is?” Concubine Rong also tried her best to suppress her emotion, she wanted to make herself look more dignified.

She dared to criticize Xie Qiao because Prince Rong was the emperor’s younger brother, and she was also considered an elder of the Crown Prince and the Princess Consort.

As an elder, it was fine to reprimand her a little.

After all, she was only talking about the Princess Consort, not reprimanding the Crown Prince.

“Concubine Rong is right. Who doesn’t have a past? My father took the wrong path in the past. Fortunately, he repented in time and fought to redeem himself. The bandit from the past died on the battlefield long ago. Now that he has been destroyed, he has been established. He is General Xie, Master Xie.” Xie Qiao deeply agreed, she said it with a very approving look.

Concubine Rong took a deep look at Xie Qiao.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

This young lady was indeed not a simple person.

She had a sharp tongue and was intelligent enough. She also had looks that could be tempting. It was reasonable for the Crown Prince to marry her.

Xie Qiao seemed as if nothing had happened. She was still sitting calmly. No one could find any fault with her bearing.

However, when Concubine Rong was about to speak to her again, Xie Qiao suddenly clutched her chest and frowned. She looked as if her heart was palpitating and uncomfortable.

The Empress took a look and hurriedly asked, “Are you feeling unwell?” “Mother, it’s nothing serious. I am just a little weak and can’t take it. Fortunately, I am married to His Highness. With Father and Mother protecting me, the inexperienced fool would not be able to anger me to the point of illness,” Xie Qiao said indifferently.

With this said, what else could Concubine Rong say?

Was she that inexperienced fool?

“Your health isn’t good, and the Crown Prince is waiting in the side hall. You should go back first.” The Empress smiled and said to the other concubines, “The young couple just got married, they’re in the honeymoon phase.”

The others also repeatedly agreed.

Xie Qiao bowed and left, her footsteps were

light.

After she left, Concubine Rong said again, “I heard that the Princess Consort’s health isn’t good, it’s not appropriate to only have this one by the Crown Prince’s side. Since the official consort has been appointed, it’s time to appoint two more side concubines to serve him. Even if the side concubines need to be carefully selected. It’s still possible to choose a few good ones.”

The Empress was also worried.

Even though she was the official wife and had a deep relationship with the Emperor, she still had to tolerate the Emperor taking in concubines.

If the Crown Prince’s wife was strong, it would be good to wait for three to five years. When she gave birth to a child, it would not be too late to consider having a concubine. However, with this young lady’s poor health, she did not know if she could give birth…

Her son was the Crown Prince after all, and he was not young anymore. It was indeed not good to delay any longer.

Of course, her son had just gotten married. She had not thought of making her daughter-in-law unhappy at this time.

“There’s no rush. The Crown Prince has his own thoughts. If he really likes a lady, he will naturally come and talk to us. There’s no need for me to make the decision.” She had a dignified look on her face.

Her son understood this.

He truly liked Young Lady Xie. He was afraid that she would melt in his mouth, and he was afraid that she would be lost in his hands.

At this time, it would be strange if he would look for someone else.
