The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince! C.947 - 945: The Interesting Noble Consort Xiao

Chapter 947: Chapter 945: The Interesting Noble Consort Xiao

Chu Yihan rubbed his tired brows and eyes, “Military affairs are numerous and I will have to stay in the military camp for a few days.”

That is to say, he wouldn’t be returning to the prince’s mansion to stay for these days.

She didn’t know whether he was truly that busy or if he was avoiding her.

Su Yingxue always felt that Chu Yihan’s aloofness towards her, seemingly there yet not, was as if he was avoiding something.

“Auntie, let’s go.”

Chu Jinling pursed his lips, glancing in the direction of the harem.

He still had to accompany his young aunt, to visit his mother.

Inside Noble Consort Xiao’s Palace.

On the luxurious and extravagant Imperial Consort’s chaise lounge, Noble Consort Xiao reclined elegantly, her indolent glance exuding an imposing elegance.

Upon seeing Su Yingxue enter, she slowly rose, “Her Majesty has seen the Ninth Princess Consort; you are courteous.”

Noble Consort Xiao’s polite demeanor surprised Su Yingxue who quickly stepped forward to support her, “Imperial Consort, you are too kind.”

But Noble Consort Xiao lightly took her hand with a smile in her eyes, “Such proprieties are only proper. After all, the world will be the Ninth Prince’s soon, and as Princess Consort, you will be above the entire harem; as for this consort, being lucky enough to survive is already good, so naturally I must be courteous towards you.”

What she said!

It was as if after Chu Yihan ascended the throne, she, Noble Consort Xiao, would have to watch Su Yingxue’s face!

Su Yingxue forced a smile, “It may not be so; with the Consort’s insight, even if you become the Empress Dowager, no one would dare to offend you. Hence, you took the initiative to handle the issue at the palace gates involving the empress’s people, sparing His Highness the trouble.”

Pleasing Chu Yihan was why he let her come see her.

Her personal visit as the Ninth Princess Consort was also to give Noble Consort Xiao peace of mind.

Noble Consort Xiao lifted her flowing silk veil, a charming fragrance wafting from within it.

Her face bore a radiant smile, “Her Majesty knows that the Ninth Prince and Princess Consort are reasonable; in the future, my son and I will rely on the emperor and empress.”

She preemptively referred to them as the emperor and empress, something no one else would dare to do!

But Noble Consort Xiao was always calculating and easy-going, so Su Yingxue wasn’t too surprised.

With nothing else to do, she sat down and started chatting leisurely with Noble Consort Xiao.

“With the Consort’s wisdom, I’m sure His Highness won’t treat you or the Xiao family unfairly.”

Over the years, Noble Consort Xiao had not opposed Chu Yihan, and the Xiao family had provided much convenience in military matters; irrespective of her status, Chu Yihan would treat them well.

Especially Chu Jinling.

Su Yingxue’s gaze fell on the handsome young man, his figure bathed in the sunlight that scattered golden sparkles on him, highlighting his already pale skin, making his features seem even more gentle and agreeable.

Noble Consort Xiao picked up the scroll in her hand and lazily leaned back on her chaise lounge, her whole body emanating a noble aura. “If it weren’t for my age, I would have married the Ninth Prince. As for Ling’er… he too will have the destiny of an emperor!”

Su Yingxue raised an eyebrow, suddenly feeling the urge to laugh, “With Your Majesty’s skill, if you had taken a fancy to the Ninth Prince, you might indeed have been a formidable rival.”

Noble Consort Xiao was different from those vulgar and cheap women who had fancied Chu Yihan before; if she started to make her moves and use her intellect, Su Yingxue wasn’t sure she could handle everything.

Taking her seriously, Noble Consort Xiao said, “That’s quite possible! If Ling’er were to become the heir to the Ninth Prince, he might now be…”

“He wouldn’t have the fate to become emperor! Mother, let go of this hope. In the past, the world belonged to father and seventh brother; in the future, it will belong to imperial uncle. As for me, I just want to write books and live a carefree life!”
