Ning Xiaoyao si behind The various princes walked past Old Mada as they saw the distracted-looking pair The girl was a pretty one, but it was a pity that His Majesty had a heart made out of steel Looks like the old lady’s beauty trap is useless
After everyone left, Old Mada knelt in front of her, alar’er make a mistake somewhere?”
The old irls carrying the htest and most beautiful, valued by all the elders of the clan But if Ning Yu couldn’t be swayed by her beauty, then none of the other Xie Clan girls would even stand a chance Xie Duoying began to cry What was she supposed to do in the future, now that His Majesty had rejected her in person? If anyone hted and then treated her like a treasure, ould thatbad taste when it came to women? Would any man in the world dare to invite such an assumption upon themselves?
Elder Li laughed from inside the room as he spoke to Grand Preceptor Xie ”Yet another play, Grand Preceptor Your Xie Clan was once acclaimed for its literary talents as well, what a shame”
Elder Li had only spoken half of what he wanted to say, but it was already a sound box on the ears for Grand Preceptor Xie and his three sons of the first wife All the old, great fahters to win favor It was no different frolory, but no one froh just then was si a mask off of the Xie Clan
”Let’s go,” Elder Li told his pupils ”Follow this old ”
Once Elder Li left with his people, the Grand Preceptor’s faction took their leave as well Right now, the Grand Preceptor was ill and the old et about state affairs, the Xie Clan had enough probleer, wouldn’t they just be causing more trouble themselves?
”Go on,” Grand Preceptor Xie told his cohorts ”This old man’s body is fine, there’s no need for you all to worry”
The various officials were somewhat comforted by Grand Preceptor Xie’s words Rather than his health, what Grand Preceptor Xie reallyas the Grand Preceptor was still standing, the rest of them would be fine as well All of the officials respectfully withdrew from the study As they reached the courtyard, they shi+elded their faces with their sleeves to avoid seeing the two crying woround Grand Preceptor Xie had Xie Anyi, his eldest son, support him outside Only his faround as she asked, ”Back then, when you had His Majesty stay in the West Courtyard of the estate, you said he didn’t like to see other people You forbade anyone fro his peace and quiet, which is why I prohibited entrance into the West Courtyard Now Grand Preceptor, tell this old woman the truth Does His Majesty really dislike company?”
The old ht it over for a while, but couldn’t find any place in ter Yu If there was anything to hate by Ning Yu, then it was that they hadn’t offered him any support and made him live 14 years like an old mountain her Master Xie help the oldhis eldest son to take his brothers and daughter to wait outside his rooms He would speak to Old Madame personally
Old Mada!” she cried
Grand Preceptor Xie waited a while before he lowered his voice ”Has o? ‘This child is destined to be at odds with the empress since birth, and they shall not reconcile in this lifetiive birth to another son and place him on the throne; unfortunately, the late eet about putting a baby in swaddling clothes on the throne Even if he was made emperor, rules for such a child decree that one keeps the son and disposes of the er can accept”
Old Madame Xie stood up frohter pair have been treating His Majesty as a disposable piece from the start? And His Majesty knows it?”
Grand Preceptor Xie gave a pained s from His Majesty’s actions recently, he is naturally aware of it”
Old Madaain
”Soany more Xie Clan females into the palace for the future,” Grand Preceptor Xie said, ”It’s an i”
Grand Preceptor Xie couldn’t tell Old Mada Yu was female, because the fewer people that knew, the better At the sahten the old woman to death
Old Madame Xie cried and asked, ”But what now?”
”His Majesty will grow to understand that he’s inseparable from our Xie Clan,” Grand Preceptor Xie coive mother so it from others”
Old Mada stick, scared yet vexed ”I’ve ruined hter!”
The Xie Clan was a flourishi+ng fahters by his first wife, each of who of their own There were about 20 soirls by first wives alone, so Grand Preceptor Xie didn’t care about the plight of Fifth Young Miss Xie All he did was say, ”Mother need not be saddened Why fear that on’t find hters?”
Old Madame Xie didn’t quite believe Grand Preceptor Xie’s words , then ould you have fainted as you did? Were you si cold all over Certainly, she ht be a respected member of the Xie Clan, but in the end she still relied on her son and grandsons If they were finished, then she would be finished as well, yet she couldn’t do a thing She was only capable of waiting until riches, honor, or disaster alike struck their home
