Xie Qiao had been using her identity as the senior sister a lot recently, so she did not treat the Crown Prince as a junior brother so politely. She just did not react in time and
called him by the wrong name.
“Eldest Brother, don’t worry about these trivial matters.” Xie Qiao did not want to bother with him.
Chattering non-stop… How long had it been since they last saw each other? He was like an old woman.
“How can I not worry? I heard from others that all the ladies who enter the palace have to compete for the favor. The emperor’s harem is still on fire, and those concubines
are not easy to deal with. The Crown Prince’s harem will be similar in the future. If you are dumb and can’t compete with them, you will die even faster!” Xie Pinggang was
unyielding as he still asked.
“Hearing Eldest Brother’s words, | really feel like I am going to die.” Xie Qiao walked to the hall, sat down, and took a sip of tea while panting.
She had been very tired recently, and her energy was not what it used to be!
“More or less.” Xie Pinggang’s face was serious. “A few days ago, someone gave me a suggestion. They said that if you’re not in good health and can’t serve the Crown Prince
often, I’ll have to get the Crown Prince two beautiful concubines and keep them in my hands.”
He did not understand. If there were many women in the harem, would it not be more noisy?
However, he had asked around and found out that there were very few wealthy families in the capital that did not have concubines.
Not to mention the Crown Prince.
Xie Qiao almost choked.
Just as she was about to speak, Xie Pinggang said, “I have already chosen a candidate for you. She is very good-looking and has a thin waist. I have asked someone to keep
her. I will bring her over tomorrow for you to look at?”
Before his eldest sister had taken a fancy to her, he could not bear to spend money to buy her.
However, it would be a pity if someone else bought her. Therefore, he thickened his skin and asked that person to keep the young lady for a few days… He paid a small
deposit. If he did not buy her in the end, the deposit would be lost, and the loss would be small.
Xie Qiao was dumbfounded. “You’re really my good brother.”
“Of course. Our mother died early. If 1 don’t care about you, can you count on our father?” When Xie Pinggang mentioned Xie Niushan, he rolled his eyes and almost spat.
“A concubine to give him a child… you can keep her for yourself. His Highness the Crown Prince will not be able to enjoy her.
“Since he wants to marry me, regardless of whether he is the Emperor or the Crown Prince, the residence must give me peace and quiet. If I can’t give birth and he can’t
bear it, I will leave by myself. There is no need to trouble others by putting in so much effort.” Xie Qiao was very calm.
“Your words are naive. He is the Crown Prince. How can you give up on the position just because you don’t want it?” Xie Pinggang thought his eldest sister was silly, and he
began to worry again.
“If I have no other choice, then there’s still a way to deal with it. It’s just that he wants me and other women, that definitely won’t work. Either I cultivate, or…” Xie Qiao said
slowly, “I won’t scare Brother with the rest of the words.”
She was the descendant of the Water Moon Temple. If anyone insisted on bullying her, she was capable of destroying his feng shui and making him suffer for the rest of his
life.
Of course, she did not marry him because of that.
She was a broad-minded person.
That was her fate. She did not dare to force anything. As for the marriage, she only hoped for a smooth and indifferent life. She was neither shocked nor angry. She was like
warm water or smoke floating in the air, neither cold nor hot. That was the best.
Xie Pinggang pursed his lips in disdain.
“You are not very capable and you are not narrow-minded. | initially wanted to buy someone at a high price to give you as a gift, but it just so happens that I have a sum of
money left to buy two good sabers,” Xie Pinggang mumbled.
However, he took those words to heart.
When he met the Crown Prince, he still had to ask His Highness about his thoughts. If the two of them had far-reaching thoughts…
Taking advantage of the fact that the marriage was still three to four months away, he would think of a way to break it..
