My Ferocious Tigress Wife

Xie Xian was empty.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What happened?

Why was there suddenly only air left when they were kissing?

Xiao Baoxin ignored him and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. What she remembered was not the image of a mouth full of oil and blisters. At best, she was flirting. At worst, she was making a big fire with oil all over her mouth. Who was she trying to annoy?

She didn’t want this to be the scene when Xie Xian thought of kissing in the future.

She felt a little nauseous.

“Ugh…” He couldn’t think about it.

Xie Xian immediately came back to his senses. He was sick of eating too much mutton and was disgusted again.”What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable again?” He quickly called Tangli in and asked her to send some fruits over.

Tang Li swept her gaze across the table without leaving a trace, as if a whirlwind had swept away the clouds.

She had to admit that their appetites had grown. There were eight side dishes, soup, water, meat, and vegetables. If it was in the past when their wives had just married, they would have at least half left. Now… Only the basics were left in each game.

Lord Lang’s appetite had obviously increased.

Who would eat fruits right after eating? If Xiao Baoxin wasn’t pregnant, she would have reminded him.

Now…Forget it…

Just like what Xie Xian said, the so-called dispute in the Ministry of Rites started suddenly and fell even faster. It didn’t even take two days for Emperor Yongping to suppress it.

Although he was young, he didn’t want to be captured by the courtiers the moment he ascended the throne. With the support of Xie Xianji and the other old courtiers, those noises would be like a boat passing through water without a trace, and they wouldn’t dare to shout.

There were already censors who were impeaching the high-profile Minister of Rites for having ulterior motives.

What did he mean by not letting the empress get married? Just because our Orthodox Army can’t defeat the rebel army? Are you shouting here to lower the morale of our army and boost the prestige of the rebel army?

Fortunately, Assistant Minister He of the Ministry of Rites was the Prince Consort and married a princess. The He family did not respond to the rebel army outside. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain.

The main thing was that Emperor Yong Ping had no intention of expanding the influence. After saying a few words, the matter was settled.

Fortunately, Assistant Minister He was also a flexible person. When he returned home, he would be well-behaved after being beaten up by the princess. He could not afford to be high-profile.

The preparations for the Celestial Empress ‘wedding were in full swing.

Everyone was looking forward to this day. The wedding of the Emperor and Empress meant that the national mourning had completely ended. At the very least, it could sweep away the gloomy atmosphere in Jiankang and let everyone catch their breath.

Actually, not only the commoners and aristocratic families, Emperor Yong Ping was also looking forward to it.

It wasn’t that he wasn’t sad about Emperor Epsilon’s death. However, even though he was sad and sad, the atmosphere in the entire palace, including Jiankang, was too depressing. Furthermore, it was wartime. As the new emperor, he still hoped that his morale would at least rise. He didn’t want to give people the feeling that he was half-dead and that there was no tomorrow. However, it was not easy for him to say this, but he had a strong heart and was also concerned about the wedding.

As the three-month national mourning period passed, the imperial court’s grip on those who violated the rules became relatively relaxed. After all, everyone had three relatives and six deceased relatives. Especially in Jiankang City, anyone could have a little kinship with anyone, and it would be over if they didn’t see each other.

Even the censors turned a blind eye to this matter. As long as it was not on the blacklist, they would not kill him.

It was not like the previous time when the wind was fierce and he did not dare to drink too much in his own house. He was afraid that if he drank too much and said drunk words, the neighbors would see it and report him. Be it the Eldest Princess or Mother Xie, they did not hold any birthday banquets. Their own family members simply gathered together to have a simple meal. They did not even open the wine.

There were many families like this. It was better to be safe than sorry. No one would find trouble with the new emperor during the national mourning period. Xiao Baoxin and his wives ‘small gathering was nothing much, and no one cared about it.

It was just that Chu Lingzi’s wedding was imminent, so she was kept at home by Madam Yuan. Fortunately, Chu Lingzi’s performance these days was remarkable, and those who came were all family members…He also had a daughter who would be his future sister-in-law. Although she was married to a concubine’s son, her current momentum was more valued by the Emperor than many legitimate sons. At a young age, she was already a general of Nanzhong, only one grade lower than his biological father.

How could Mrs. Yuan still have an answer?

Less than two days after receiving Xie Wan’s letter, Chu Lingzi’s invitation was sent to the Xie family. Xiao Miaorong’s invitation was handed over by Xiao Baoxin.

The main reason was that Chu Lingzi and Xiao Miaorong didn’t have any contact, and the two of them weren’t in the same circle. It would be a little rude to send out an invitation.

It was already the end of July when they got together.

The flames of war raged everywhere, and there were rebellions in various local towns. Even the name of the country was not Yongping from the Jiankang imperial court, but the year name of Guangchu. It was not enough to send Sikong Xiao to quell the chaos. Emperor Yong Ping simply sent four generals to quell the chaos.

Madam Cai finally returned to Jiankang with her son and daughter. More than half of the soldiers sent by Sikong Xiao had been killed or injured, and they had exchanged hundreds of lives for it.

When Madam Cai arrived at the Xiao manor, she cried out loud in front of Madam Xie. She looked so miserable that the two children were so frightened that they cried along.

When Xiao Baoxin went to the Xiao Manor, she only saw the two children. Madam Cai fell ill the moment she reached home. She was afraid that she would pass on her illness, so Madam Xie did not let her see them.

However, according to Madam Xie, the Cai family had suffered quite a bit along the way. Not only were there riots in various places, but even the refugees had also risen. They could not make ends meet and there were already large-scale robberies.

The situation was even more serious than the news they received in Jiankang.

The momentum of this wave of attacks on Emperor Yong Ping did not decrease, but instead increased. Before the wave was settled, it had already set off layers of waves.

Xiao Baoxin was now more than four months pregnant. There was a small bump on her stomach, and her pregnant posture could not be concealed. However, although her figure was no longer slim, her face was still good at fighting. Her plain face was still radiant.

All the ladies were envious.

In a word, her husband was well-nourished. Look at how he took care of a pregnant woman. No matter where he went, he would still dominate the audience.

Originally, Wang Qiong did not plan to come over. A newly widowed person was afraid of ruining Xiao Baoxin’s happiness.

Xiao Baoxin could not stand it at that moment.” I came here for two reasons. First, I’m on good terms with Sixth Aunt. I haven’t seen her for a long time and I miss her. Second, I’m here for Fifteenth Aunt. If the Wang and Xie families become estranged, I won’t come again.””

He wasn’t afraid of this.

If not for Xie Wan suppressing him, he would have gone to invite Wang Qiang with Chu Lingzi.

Wang Qiong listened to the maid’s message and knew that she was narrow-minded. The Wang and Xie families had stood side by side for a hundred years. Now that they had made their own choices, it could not change the many years of good relations between the two families, but they could not blame others. If one wanted to blame someone, it would be Empress Wang and the Wang family’s head who attempted to plot against the former emperor.

After shedding two lines of tears, she brought her newly adopted son along and went over without waiting for anyone to invite him.

Because of the national funeral, Mrs. Yuan did not prepare wine, Wang Qiang with tea instead of wine to punish himself.

“We all came here with gifts for the nephew. If you don’t let me give them out, won’t my hands itch?”Xiao Baoxin smiled and asked Youmei to send over two sandalwood boxes. One was a longevity golden lock, and the other was Hetian’s jade pendant.

“This is mine and Miao Rong’s.” she said.

Immediately after, Xie Wan also handed over a cicada-shaped inkstone.

“She’s a lady from a noble family after all. Her gifts all carry a poetic and scholarly aura.”Xiao Baoxin sighed. The two sisters-in-law did not communicate and did not know each other’s gifts. However, once an expert made a move, one would know if there was anything. Just by looking at the high-end and high-class things that the other party had given him.

Naturally, her gift was not bad either. It was made with silver and did not have the elegance of others..
