Chapter 52 His father, Chen Chen
When Xue Qinghe was helped out by maid Qiuxin, he bumped into Xue Qingyin and walked out.
Xue Qinghe felt dizzy whenever he moved.
Xue Qingyin wasn't much better either. She walked step by step with difficulty and looked even more pitiful than Xue Qinghe.
Xue Qinghe's expression changed, and for a moment she wondered if she did it on purpose.
"I asked someone to invite you out. Today you will enter the palace with me." Xue Qingyin's voice sounded.
Xue Qinghe looked up in surprise.
"Are you feeling better?" Xue Qingyin asked.
Xue Qinghe came back to his senses, lowered his head and said, "Well, it's better."
If there is more, not a single word is said.
Xue Qingyin also felt embarrassed. Forget it, it's better not to care about others.
"Miss Xue."
Next to the inconspicuous gray carriage, stood a thin woman. She spoke in a low voice, attracting the attention of Xue Qingyin and others.
Xue Qinghe didn't have to think about it now, she must have called her sister.
Sure enough, the woman walked up to Xue Qingyin and asked with a smile: "Has Miss Xue finished her medicine?"
Xue Qingyin immediately knew who sent her.
Who else could be there besides King Xuan?
Xue Qingyin felt a little puzzled.
Why did King Xuan send someone here now?
Isn't it because he wants to take her into the palace?
She suppressed her doubts and said with a smile: "There is a lot left, enough to ride the horse three times."
The woman couldn't help but laugh: "Miss Xue is really a funny person."
Now it was even more certain that the woman was indeed King Xuan's.
The woman said softly: "My servant Wanxia is the person who serves the Queen Mother. I have been ordered to come to take Miss Xue into the palace for the palace banquet."
The people behind Xue Qingyin were shocked.
In the past, she was Princess Jinque, and later it was the Duke of Zhao who came to pick her up. Now...it turns out that the Queen Mother sent someone to pick her up?
What kind of luck does the eldest girl in the family have?
How could they know? Xue Qingyin didn't understand either.
Aren't you from King Xuan? How come you are from the Queen Mother?
"Miss Xue is almost in a daze, let's get on the carriage and talk." the palace maid Wanxia urged.
Xue Qingyin took two steps forward, then remembered, turned back and said, "Qinghe is coming too."
Xue Qinghe didn't dare to move, she didn't even dare to look at the palace maid's face.
Since you came here specifically to find Xue Qingyin, what's the point of bringing her along?
Xue Qinghe was afraid that the palace maid would open her mouth and say something mean. She was also afraid that Xue Qingyin would call her out just to deliberately humiliate her.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Seeing that she didn't move, Xue Qingyin asked her doubtfully.
Xue Qinghe didn't know how to answer the call.
Wanxia vaguely saw her thoughts and said: "Please."
As soon as these words came out, Xue Qinghe finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked slowly to Xue Qingyin's side.
"She has been fooled by all the good people." Qiu Xin muttered secretly.
Xue Qingyin didn't hear it, but Wanxia suddenly turned around and said, "What did you say?"
Qiu Xin was so frightened that her face turned pale and she couldn't say a word.
Fortunately, Wanxia didn't ask any questions, so Qiu Xin sat down next to Xue Qinghe in shock.
Xue Qinghe has never attended a palace banquet since he was born, and has never seen such a scene.
If it hadn't been for the trip to the lake that day, which would have been a tough one, I'm afraid she wouldn't have dared to enter the palace today.
She couldn't help but press her chest, feeling a dull pain in her heart.
Wait until she turns around...
I found that Xue Qingyin was dozing off while leaning on the waist pillow!
Xue Qingyin just slept at the entrance of the palace.
Xue Qinghe raised her head and glanced up. The towering palace gate made her breathless.
Where is Xue Qingyin?
She opened her eyes lazily and raised her hand to press the corners of her eyes, which immediately turned a little crimson.
When you look up at someone, you feel like you have stopped talking.
Wanxia looked at her in a daze for a moment, then turned around and lifted the car curtain.
Xue Qinghe looked outside naturally.
Waiting outside...are actually a few strong warriors.
They were carrying a small chariot.
Is this... to pick up Xue Qingyin?
Xue Qinghe didn't know the rules in the palace, but she thought, this shouldn't be a treatment that everyone can have, right?
Xue Qingyin said worriedly at this moment: "How many people are there."
She never thought that the palace would come to pick her up like this.
Wanxia said in a relaxed tone: "It doesn't matter, just lift it up again."
Not long after Wanxia finished speaking, several more strong men came, carrying another small chariot.
Xue Qingyin and Xue Qinghe were carried like this, twisting and turning, walking through several alleys surrounded by high walls, and finally entered the harem.
"Girl, sit down and have tea first. I'll pick you up later." Sunset left them in a side hall and left.
This side hall is a bit small, and the lighting is not very good. The sunlight penetrates through the diamond windows and falls sparsely on the ground, but it cannot reduce the chill on the body.
Qiu Xin's lips turned white now, her legs were trembling, and she couldn't stand firmly: "Where... is this place? Why didn't I see anyone along the way?"
Xue Qinghe was also instantly worried.
Qiu Xin continued: "Could it be that someone deliberately tricked us here..." Qiu Xin paused for a moment, then said with a horrified look: "Could it be the person who pushed the second girl last time?"
Xue Qingyin couldn't help it: "Pull him down. If that person can command the people in the palace, why would he push them into the river?"
Qiu Xin hesitated, her face full of dissatisfaction.
The old god Xue Qingyin is here.
Compared with the anxious and panic-stricken women, their faces looked a bit unbeatable.
"Aren't you afraid, big girl?" Qiu Xin blurted out.
Xue Qingyin was afraid of farts.
The fact that Wanxia mentioned riding a horse meant that even if she was not sent by King Xuan, she at least had contact with him.
King Xuan was not a bitch like King Wei, so Xue Qingyin felt that he could not do anything light or serious.
When Qiu Xin saw that she was silent, the resentment in her heart crawled through her heart like ants.
The atmosphere here is tense.
On the other side, in a room so quiet that you could hear a needle drop, an older woman vomited: "Which one is it?"
Wanxia knelt in front of her and whispered: "How about leisurely tea."
The woman looked at Xue Qingyin and took a sip of tea. She probably found it unpleasant to drink. Xue Qingyin frowned again and softly said "yue".
The sunset looked a little cute and I couldn't help but want to laugh.
But when she noticed that there was no smile on the face of the older woman, the Queen Mother, Wanxia had to suppress her smile.
She whispered: "The eldest girl of the Xue family is calm and her background is not low..."
"Origin? Her mother is a merchant, and her father is a smooth-talking and sycophantic minister." The Queen Mother said in a cold tone.
Wanxia did not dare to speak.
Xue Qingyin and others had no idea that in the main hall, which was separated by a wall from the side hall, the most noble Empress Dowager of the Liang Dynasty was looking at them calmly through the dark window dug out in the wall.
"Let them sit a little longer." The Queen Mother said and ordered people to close the dark window and stop looking.
"His Royal Highness Prince Xuan...maybe he's coming soon." Wanxia whispered.
"Then let's wait until later." The Queen Mother pursed her lower lip heavily and said unhappily: "Prince Xuan's marriage has been postponed until today... How can you let such a woman take advantage of you? When the Yi family heard about it, the King of Wei also fell in love with her.
As for her, I am afraid that Concubine Wan will never allow such a woman to marry her son. Since she doesn’t want something, how can she give it to Prince Xuan?”
Wanxia squeezed out a voice from between her teeth: "But...but when has the Queen Mother ever seen Your Highness treat any woman as special? Your Highness...if you really like her..."
The Queen Mother looked at her coldly for a moment.
Just when Wanxia couldn't bear it any longer, the Queen Mother suddenly relaxed and said, "In that case, then you should give Aijia a good test first."
Wanxia quietly exhaled and said, "How to test it?"
The Queen Mother rubbed the jade ring on her hand and said: "King Xuan's wife should be a smart person and be able to deal with the hidden crises in the imperial city."
Wanxia became mute.
Inside the side hall.
Xue Qinghe couldn't sit still more and more. She bit her lip: "Sister..."
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps approaching outside the door.
The footsteps were steady and powerful, neither fast nor slow.
Xue Qinghe looked up.
...His Royal Highness King Xuan?
King Xuan didn't expect that there would be more people, so he glanced at Xue Qinghe coldly.
Xue Qinghe's body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Follow me," King Xuan said to Xue Qingyin.
