Chapter 1091 Too Stubborn
The Empress understood the Crown Prince, so she did not want to interfere in his affairs.
Her son had his own ideas. If she still wanted to interfere, sooner or later, there would be a distance between them. She knew that the Crown Prince was not muddle-headed when it came to important matters. That was enough. It was not to the extent that there would be no heir.
With this thought, the Empress became more and more broad-minded.
Concubine Rong thought the Empress was silly.
She had chosen from a thousand choices to marry such a young lady who was weak and had a sharp tongue.
However, now that the Empress did not express her stance, she could not say anything more.
On the other hand, Xie Qiao saw Zhao Xuanjing and did not stand on ceremony. She directly told him about Concubine Rong targeting her. “Did you offend Prince Rong in the past?”
“She and Royal Uncle were driven out of the capital because of the horse incident. The location of the fiefdom isn’t very good either.” Zhao Xuanjing thought for a moment and said, “He rarely returns to the capital. In all these years, he has returned about three times. It’s because he was bullied.”
“Bullied by who?” Xie Qiao was quite curious.
Zhao Xuanjing probably was not the kind of person who would take the initiative to look for trouble.
“Royal Uncle Rong isn’t old. When he was just driven away, he was only in his teens. After a few years, he was only allowed to come back once. I saw that he was a bit violent and did things very arrogantly, so I asked someone to make things difficult for him. He could have stayed in the capital for the new year, but he was driven away again.
“Then he returned again. He was quite obedient. Father was mindful of the brotherhood, so he was not so harsh on him. He rewarded him quite a lot,” Zhao Xuanjing added.
After all, Prince Rong was still young when he committed the crime. He was also guided by the old prince, so he was implicated.
The Emperor also felt that he was too harsh on him. When he first announced his return to the capital, he wanted to let him stay in the capital, but he did not expect him to make a mistake again.
Prince Rong died because of his mistake. He had also made a mistake. If he did not change, the Emperor would not be kind to him. Otherwise, the people in the residence would not be happy.
“I don’t think Concubine Rong has a good appearance. She should be a person who likes to be jealous and absurd,” Xie Qiao said subconsciously. “There’s no need to keep in touch with her in the future.” Zhao Xuanjing pinched her hand.
Xie Qiao nodded.
“Oh right, your eldest sister doesn’t look too good. I’m afraid that there will be a romantic tribulation,” Xie Qiao added.
Zhao Xuanjing could not help but be amused when he heard that. “Your habit isn’t simple. You’ll see everything clearly once you enter the palace.”
“I did not mean to do that either.” Xie Qiao was also helpless.
Outside the palace, if she did not want to look at people’s faces, she could just lower her head. Even if others thought that her carelessness was not respectful enough, it would not have much of an impact. However, it was not the case in the palace.
She could not look at the Emperor and Empress rudely, but in front of others, it would be a big problem if she did not even look at them.
Xie Qiao also did not want to meddle in other people’s business, but she had already seen it. If she did not say anything, she would appear cold.
“Can you ask your eldest sister to give me two copper coins, then?” Xie Qiao was a bit conflicted, looking at him and asking again. Zhao Xuanjing could not help but laugh.
He saw that Xie Qiao did not want to hide anymore.
“I know. The Taoist masters of the Water Moon Temple charge money for fortune-telling. I’ll send someone to ask for two copper coins from her later. You take it.” Zhao Xuanjing’s gaze was indulgent.
Xie Qiao looked a little conflicted.
Fortune-telling revealed the secrets of Heaven. How could she feel at ease if she did not ask for copper coins?
However, as she revealed more and more, it became harder and harder to hide her ident.i.ty.
Seeing that she still did not tell the truth, Zhao Xuanjing completely yielded.
She was too stubborn. He had reminded her countless times, but she still pretended not to understand?
