Chapter 259: Blessing

Xie Qiao thought it was impossible for her to not know anything after all that she had done. She did not really mind learning what the outsiders said.

She could not be angry, or else she would not live long.

Xie Qiao stayed at home to rest and earn silver beans.

When the holiday ended, the charity donation at the academy would begin.

Before the holiday, she had many silver beans in her hands. Excluding the daily expenses, there were still 500 silver beans left.

However, those ghouls ate, drank and rented the very expensive Teacher Xiao. All her hard work went down the drain and she only had 200 beans left. She was still a little short of her goal, so she could only translate the documents day and night.

At that moment, Xie Pinggang was standing next to the Crown Prince at the criminal division.

The Crown Prince was sorting through the records of the cases over the years and would ask him some questions from time to time.

He was quite amiable.

Seeing that the Crown Prince seemed to be in a good mood today, Xie Pinggang thought for a while and said, “Your Highness, have you heard any rumours out there lately?”

Zhao Xuanjing flipped through something in his hand, but there was no reply.

“It’s about the rumor that my Eldest Sister drove my stepmother away in rage…” Xie Pinggang said again.

“I’ve heard a little,” Zhao Xuanjing said concisely.

Xie Pinggang looked fierce, but he was afraid that he would be too angry and make people think that he did not respect the Crown Prince, so he tried his best to remain calm and said, “It’s all nonsense. My Eldest Sister is the most kind and gentle, and she’s also very beautiful. I dare to say that no woman in the Imperial City can compare to her looks. Of course, her looks are secondary. Her talent is also great.”

Hearing that, Zhao Xuanjing asked with a smile, “What talent?”

Seeing that the Crown Prince was interested, Xie Pinggang thought he would seize the opportunity, “Well… she’s much better than me and my other siblings in the family! Growing up in the Taoist temple, she had a peaceful state of mind and looked like an angel from heaven. Even if it was just a simple sentence, she could calm people down and make them feel comfortable.”

The corner of Zhao Xuanjing’s lips lifted slightly, and he concealed his feelings.

This Xie Pinggang really did not know how to praise someone. He only paid attention to her appearance.

“Minister Xie’s sister is indeed not bad,” Zhao Xuanjing smiled slightly and changed the file in his hand.

When Xie Pinggang heard that, he felt that there was a chance, he immediately said, “I heard that Your Highness is going to choose a consort soon? I’m asking this shamelessly, but could you invite my sister there? If your Highness thinks she’s suitable, she can be a side consort and bear your children. It’s a good idea…”

Zhao Xuanjing was stunned, “What did you say?”

Xie Pinggang listed his chest. He was tall and his majesty remained, “My Sister is gentle, pure, indifferent, and innocent. She has a really good temperament. If she can become His Highness’ consort, it’s your… it’s my sister’s blessing.”

“Are you serious?” Zhao Xuanjing’s expression was sharp, and his eyebrows were as bright as a peak. He sat upright in his black robe, and there were some ripples in his eyes.

“I’m serious!” Xie Pinggang felt a little guilty.

His sister was indeed as beautiful as a flower and jade. He only hoped that the Crown Prince was heartless. It would be alright if they had a child together, but they better not have a deep relationship and die of love with his sister in the future.

Of course, Xie Pinggang only thought about it casually.

Zhao Xuanjing raised his brows and smiled.

He remained looking down and said casually, “Since Minister Xie has spoken, let’s invite her into the palace to have a look. It’s just that I’m not the only one making the decision regarding the consort selection…”

“I understand, I understand,” Xie Pinggang was elated.

Zhao Xuanjing was initially thinking about how he could send an invitation to the Xie family so that it would not appear absurd. Now, Xie Pinggang actually came knocking on his door.

It won his heart deeply.
