When Xiao Jie left the study, it was already very late, so he went directly to his bedroom.

But before he reached the gate of his small courtyard, Xiao Jie saw two lanterns. It was Su Yao and Dong'er who were waiting for him at the gate of the small courtyard with a lantern.

Xiao Jie hurried up, looked at Su Yao's cheeks that were slightly red from the cold, felt distressed and blamed: "It's so windy outside, why are you standing outside?"

Su Yao smiled: "I saw Miss Tao leave just now, and thought you would come back soon after seeing off the guests, so I came out with Dong'er and waited for you."

"I just met a friend in the study and chatted with him for a while, so I came back late." Xiao Jie explained lightly, "It's my fault, I should have someone tell you in advance, so that you waited outside for so long It’s been a long time, if I freeze my body, I will be guilty.”

Su Yao also heard the self-blame in Xiao Jie's words. She couldn't help but feel sweetness in her heart. She shook her head and smiled and said, "I'm not so weak. I just wait for you for a while. I can't be frozen so easily."

The two returned to the dormitory one after the other while talking, but Dong'er was sensible and didn't follow.

Entering the room, Xiao Jie just wanted to light up the lamp, but Su Yao smiled mysteriously and took out a box instead. Xiao Jie recognized at a glance that it was the box Tao Han brought today, and he was also curious for a while, wanting to know What is the gift.

Su Yao opened a box, and there was a huge bead quietly lying in the box, shining brightly, illuminating the whole bedroom.

It turned out to be a night pearl.

It's not that Xiao Jie has never seen a Ye Mingzhu, but this is the first time he has seen such a huge Ye Mingzhu.

This luminous pearl is as big as an orange. Although Xiao Jie doesn't understand jewelry and jade, he can guess that this luminous pearl in front of him is absolutely priceless.

The Tao family is worthy of being the number one wealthy businessman in Daning, and they are lavish in their actions. The first time they visited him, they gave him the Dragon Chanting Sword and the Ye Mingzhu.

But Xiao Jie would not feel any embarrassment, after all, he also pointed out a bright way for the Tao family, just the title of Marquis of Guannei, which the Tao family was thinking of, would be worth as many magical weapons and night pearls.

"Do you like it?" Xiao Jie asked with a slight smile.

Su Yao nodded, but all women have no resistance to such shining things, and Su Yao is no exception.

Xiao Jie said with a smile, "It's fine if you like it, it means the gift was given right."

Su Yao's face hesitated for a moment, but she still said: "I like it, but this gift is too expensive. Miss Tao said that this luminous pearl is also her favorite thing, and she originally planned to save it for her future marriage It was brought to her husband's house as a dowry. But she really didn't know what gift to bring when she came to the house for the first time, and after much deliberation, the only thing she could get was this night pearl."

Xiao Jie laughed secretly. He knew that Tao Han wanted Su Yao to know that the gift was very valuable, so as to show his sincerity. But if he told Su Yao that he was giving a dowry, wouldn't he worry about her misunderstanding?

"Husband, why don't you send someone to return this luminous pearl tomorrow, I always feel a little bit sorry for taking someone's love." Su Yao looked at the luminous pearl in front of her and said to Xiao Jie seriously.

Xiao Jie shook his head and said with a smile: "We are willing to accept the gift from the Tao family. It's too late for them to be happy. If you suddenly return the gift, they will think too much, thinking that Miss Tao or the Tao family have suddenly offended me somewhere. You, Princess Qi, might bring more expensive gifts to your door when the time comes."

Su Yao thinks about it, and it seems to be the same reason, so she gives up the idea of ​​returning Ye Mingzhu.

Xiao Jie continued to smile and said: "Since you like this luminous pearl, you can accept it with peace of mind. I will naturally help you return a generous gift to the Tao family. They know that this luminous pearl is worth the money."

Su Yao nodded, but suddenly changed the subject and asked a question quietly. "Husband, what do you think of Miss Tao?"

According to Xiao Jie's experience as a person in two lifetimes, he knew very well in his heart that when his wife asks you how another woman is, she will never just ask casually.

Any fool can guess that this girl is probably jealous.

Xiao Jie deliberately pretended not to hear her subtext, pretended to be stupid, and said with a smile: "A girl like her can run in the mall, she can't lose to any man, and she can be called a hero among women."

Su Yao gave Xiao Jie a white look, and said coquettishly: "Who told you this? I'm asking what do you think Miss Tao looks like?"

Not a fool knows how to answer this question: "She is beautiful, but you are even more beautiful!"

"You're the only one who talks poorly." Su Yao's face turned red, but she felt a little relieved in her heart.

She is not stupid, just like her father Su Jing worried, the Tao family came to visit and brought such a beautiful Tao Han, Su Yao also vaguely guessed the Tao family's thoughts, she would naturally feel a little unhappy, but As a concubine's self-cultivation, she still treated Tao Han with courtesy, and didn't deliberately make things difficult for her, so as not to make things difficult for Xiao Jie.

She also knew that her husband, Xiao Jie, as the king of Qi, could not be the only concubine for the rest of his life.

According to the Daning ritual system, a prince can marry one concubine, the first rank; two side concubines, the second rank; two Liangdi, the third rank; six Liangyuans, the fifth rank; There are 16 people in training, the seventh grade; 24 people in Fengyi, the ninth grade.

Among them, the main concubine is the main wife, the side concubine is the second wife, and the rest are considered concubines.

In addition, in addition to wives and concubines, as a prince, he can also have an unlimited number of maidservants.

Su Yao naturally feels a little uncomfortable when she thinks that she will share a husband with so many sisters in the future.

The Su family is also a scholarly family, but it does not prohibit concubines. Her father Su Jing has three concubines.

Every time a new concubine enters the door, she will see her mother, Mrs. Shen, secretly hiding and wiping tears, but the next day she still has to pretend to be nonchalant and accept the tea served by her father's concubine.

She also knew that she would face this kind of situation in the future. For the royal family, the most important task is to carry on the family line and spread the branches. It ruined the reputation of the Su family, thinking that the women of the Su family were immoral.

And what's more serious is that if you push your husband too hard, Xiao Jie may be forced to buy a house outside to raise a lot of women, and even have illegitimate children... At that time, it will be a scandal that will shame the entire royal family , will seriously hurt Xiao Jie.

"Actually, Miss Tao is also a pretty good girl. Although she is a businessman, she doesn't have the air of a philistine at all. Marrying her is not a disgrace to the family style of Prince Qi's Mansion."

Su Yao sighed again and said quietly.

Since Xiao Jie couldn't stop her from taking a concubine, she could only carefully check the selection of candidates, lest any messy women would marry into the Prince Qi's mansion and ruin a good family.

Xiao Jie shook his head helplessly: "Miss Tao and I really have nothing to do now, and it's not up to you and me to decide this matter, you have to ask Miss Tao what she means."

Su Yao also understands, but it's nothing now, this husband also has ideas about Miss Tao.

"How about Miss Lian'er in Miaorenfang?" Su Yao asked quietly again.

The smile on Xiao Jie's face froze, and his heart sank. He didn't understand how Su Yao knew about Yu Wenxuan's existence.

Seeing that the smile on Xiao Jie's face disappeared, Su Yao panicked and lowered her head, like a child who has done something wrong.

"Husband, there is one thing I want to confess to you. Someone entrusted the waiter to deliver a letter to me today." Su Yao fiddled with the corner of her clothes and said softly.

Xiao Jie sighed softly. He understood why Su Yao had to wait for him at night. This letter must have caused her uneasiness, and he wanted to ask himself to understand.

"Can I read that letter?" Xiao Jie was not angry, but asked calmly.

Su Yao nodded, took out a letter from her arms and handed it to Xiao Jie, keeping her head down all the time, not daring to look into Xiao Jie's eyes.

Xiao Jie opened the envelope, and there was only a thin piece of paper inside, with only 7 characters written on it: "Xiao Jie is a wonderful person, Fang Lian'er."

The handwriting was very unfamiliar, but Xiao Jie knew it was Xiao Huang who did it without even thinking about it, and he couldn't help being angry for a while.

In the original book, he used this trick to constantly tease Wang Yu, who is already married, and gave his predecessor a piece of Hulun Buir Prairie. The predecessor did not know until the day of his death that Wang Yu was pregnant with Xiao Huang's child. Izumi knows, it is estimated that the coffin boards will be blown away with anger.

He had already given Wang Yu to him, but he actually used this trick to deal with Su Yao again. Xiao Jie really doubted whether Xiao Huang was the reincarnation of Cao Cao, so Wei Wu's legacy, he just changed his name to Xiao Cao.

Fortunately, unlike Wang Yu, Su Yao chose to confess to herself, which made him feel better.

"I sent someone to Miaorenfang to inquire about it. Although Lian'er is a brothel girl, she is still a prostitute, and she is considered an innocent woman. If the husband really likes her, he can redeem her and marry her. I will not object. Yes. I just want to persuade my husband, after all, you are the king of Qi, if you are found wandering around the place of fireworks, your reputation will be ruined..." Su Yao finally looked up at Xiao Jie, summoned up the courage to persuade.

Xiao Jie shook his head: "Believe me, there is really nothing between me and Lian'er of Miaorenfang. I went to Miaorenfang because I have business to do, not a place to indulge in fireworks. And, I promise you..."

Xiao Jie looked at Su Yao very seriously: "I will never raise a housewife outside privately. If I want to take a concubine, I will definitely let you know. If you don't agree, I will never let her enter the palace."

Xiao Jie didn't want to be as scumbag as Xiao Huang in the original book. On the wedding night, she made a promise to Su Yao that they would be a couple for the rest of their lives. In the end, they took the harem home one by one under the pretext of cooking raw rice, forcing Su Yao to admit the fait accompli.

Even because of his promise with Yu Wenxuan, in the end even the child born to the concubine Su Yao couldn't be made the crown prince.

Xiao Jie himself is also a scumbag, except for Wang Yu, he wants to take away every harem of Xiao Huang, but he also hopes to maintain enough respect for Su Yao.

After all, in this era, if a husband marries another woman into the mansion at will without the consent of his wife, then this wife will definitely be looked down upon.

Su Yao also felt Xiao Jie's understanding and respect. She was very moved and threw herself into Xiao Jie's arms.

Xiao Jie also gently stroked her blue hair.

"Husband, I want a child."

Su Yao in her arms said something lightly.

The corner of Xiao Jie's mouth could not help but raise a smile.

"Then let's work hard together."

After saying that, he picked up Su Yao by the waist and walked to the big bed...
