Chapter 133: Chapter 133-Taking Down His Might

When Princess Xuancheng left the palace in a huff, it was already close to noon. She stayed in the Xiao manor for nearly four hours. Seeing that the sky was dark and the palace key was about to fall, Princess Xuancheng reluctantly got up.
“You must go to the Eldest Princess ‘birthday. We can meet again then.”Princess Xuancheng held Xiao Baoxin’s hand.
‘Why can’t I marry my brother? Wouldn’t it be great to marry Brother?
” That way, we can play together for as long as we want.’
‘If it really doesn’t work–forget it, father is too old, it’s too hard for big lady. Mother will also kill me.”
Xiao Baoxin:
In order to find a playmate, you even sold your own father. What kind of princess are you?
“Of course I have to go. Eldest Princess specially sent an invitation personally by the chief historian, specifically asking me to go over and let Eldest Princess take a look.”Xiao Baoxin laughed.
Father had won a triumphant victory, and the invitation had already drifted over like snowflakes. If it wasn’t for Madam Xie’s disgust and unwillingness to attend with Madam Xiao, claiming to be ill in the residence, she would probably be very busy.
The Eldest Princess was the eldest daughter of Emperor Taizu Jianyuan, Princess Kuaiji, and the aunt of Emperor Yuheng.
He had experienced the Five Emperors and was already in his seventies. He was not deaf or blind. He loved to be lively. All year round, he was either admiring flowers and chrysanthemums or competing in poetry. In two days, it would be the Eldest Princess ‘birthday. Almost everyone in Jiankang City knew about it.
However, Xiao Baoxin always felt that the Eldest Princess ‘sudden enthusiasm was a little strange. Her father had won many battles, and none of them had ever caused the Eldest Princess to mobilize so many people.
Perhaps she was a little sensitive because of the princess’s name. Her intuition told her that it was related to Princess Anji.
However, in front of Princess Xuancheng, Xiao Baoxin could not say much. It was true that Princess Xuancheng was open-minded and bright, but Princess Anji was her aunt after all. No one knew how their relationship was.
Seeing that Xiao Bao had agreed, the princess of Xuancheng returned to the palace to show off her new bow and arrow to Noble Consort Liu. She was so happy that she did not notice the disdain in Noble Consort Liu’s eyes.
The good princess was led astray by Lady Xiao and became a Lu woman who wielded knives and guns.
He thought to himself,’The Emperor didn’t want Little Six to marry Xiao Baoxin and marry into the Xiao family, but he can’t let Xiao Baoxin cheat him for nothing.’ Didn’t the Xiao family still have a young man who hadn’t married yet? At most, they would marry Xuancheng back to the Xiao family!
Thinking that Xuancheng would probably pack up her own small bag and go straight over when she heard that she was going to be Xiao Baoxin’s sister-in-law, Imperial Concubine Liu could not help but hold her forehead.
How did he give birth to such a silly daughter!

“Why don’t you just call yourself sick and not go?”Madam Xie’s face was full of pity, and her heart ached for her daughter.
It was clearly not her daughter’s fault, but she had to bear the consequences. What was abominable was that the instigator got what she wanted and actually let her do it. In the end, she married Yang Shao.
Was there still justice?
These days, she had been finding trouble with Xiao Jing ‘ai’s schoolwork and starving her every two or three days.
Madam Xie was not a bad person, and that was all she knew. It was not that she had not heard of the shady things that were commonly used in the backyard, but she could not do it. She was not that kind of person.
“If there’s nothing to laugh at, why bother?”
Xiao Baoxin, however, was full of confidence and dressed up.
Her upper body was a light yellow dual-lapel dress, and her waist was wrapped with a ribbon of the same color as the leaf-green dress. The neckline and cuffs were embroidered with the same color of honeysuckles. She wore a wide-sleeved long dress, and her hair was combed into a bun with golden bird hairpins on both sides.
She was as pretty as she could be, as beautiful as she could be, and her entire being was filled with the aura of youth.
Xiao Baoxin’s eyes sparkled and he was in high spirits.””What did we do wrong? Why should we be laughed at? The more it’s like this, the more I have to go out and let them see that I’m not defeated by the rumors. I’m not the one who did anything wrong, so 1 don’t have to bear any blame.”
“They want me to be unable to recover, but why should I let them have their way?”
Mrs. Xie,”She knew it. Her daughter has always been stronger and more courageous than her.”
It didn’t make sense for her daughter to be full of fighting spirit and drag her down.
The mother and daughter held hands and went straight to the Eldest Princess’s residence. It was only two streets away, and it took them less than a cup of tea’s time to walk. They sat in the carriage for two quarters of an hour before they arrived. The reason was that the nobles of Jiankang City would flock to the banquet that the Eldest Princess had set up. The traffic was heavy, and it was purely blocked on the road.
Xiao Baoxin had listened to Madam Xie’s psychological construction along the way. If others said sarcastic words, how would she reply? How would she be dignified and arrogant? Her daughter had been bullied. How should she get back at her? Should she go up and fight with the young ladies herself? In addition, she cursed Xiao Jing ‘ai in her heart and began to ponder how Xiao Yun would report Xiao Lao’ er’s scandal in front of him when she returned to Jiankang.
Xiao Bao was tired of her confidence, so she took her mother’s place.
There were too many scenes in her heart, but reality was not strong enough. It was always beyond her expectations.
The moment the mother and daughter arrived, they attracted everyone’s attention. Their eyes were filled with shock and mockery, and their hearts and eyes were filled with drama. However, because the Eldest Princess was present, no one took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
The Eldest Princess was already seventy-three years old. She was old and frail. However, he was still energetic, and his eyes were bright. He still had makeup on his face, and his round face looked like an extremely kind old man.
Sitting next to the eldest princess was Princess Anji. Her long red dress set off her snow-white skin.
My husband has only been dead for a year, and he is already dressed in red and green. No matter how much controversy he has caused, he still cares about me. Seeing Xiao Baoxin enter, she smiled and said in a delicate voice,
“Aunt, look, this is the number one beauty of our Jiankang City, the eldest daughter of General Xiao’s family. If he hadn’t heard of Lady Xiao’s name in Jiankang City, he would be laughed at.”
These words were insinuating and ambiguous. Those who knew could understand the mockery in Princess Anji’s words. Those who did not know could tell that she did not come with good intentions from Princess Anji’s seductive posture. She did not look like someone who praised others. If she did not praise others, she would definitely scold others.
Xiao Baoxin acted as if he didn’t understand and hurriedly saluted the Eldest Princess of Kuaiji.
The Eldest Princess ‘eyes were like torches as she stared at Xiao Baoxin for a long time before calling her to stand up. She said with a smile,”She’s indeed a beauty. I’ve lived for too long in this life and have seen many people. Which of the favored concubines and concubines of the few dynasties have I not seen?”
“I saw that you were handsome when you were young. I didn’t expect you to be even more handsome when you grew up.”
After saying that, she waved her hand and the granny beside her thoughtfully handed a jade plate to Xiao Baoxin.
“This is a gift from His Highness for the little ladies to wear.”
Princess Anji said angrily,” Why don’t 1 have one? I’m not a little lady. I’m Aunt’s niece. I’m also a junior.””
The Eldest Princess laughed when she heard this.” What do you mean junior? You’re just young. Your seniority isn’t low.” I’ve lived for so long. If 1 give it to every junior, I’m afraid my treasury will be empty.”
“Fine, fine, what good stuff is this? Meiyu, give this junior a jade token and let her act small.”
All the madams in the room couldn’t help but laugh. The little lady wiped her mouth and laughed.
“I’ll take this one. This one suits my eyes.”Princess Anji stood up and was about to take the jade token from Xiao Baoxin’s hand. Who knew that she couldn’t pull it out. She pulled it again and again, but it still didn’t move.
Was this a jade token?
This was Xie Xian.
Others might not know the meaning behind Princess Anji’s words, but Xiao Baoxin knew it very well. He was trying to hide something from her.. Did he really think that she was a pushover?
