It's just a pity to marry someone like King Wei... Xue Qingyin thought to herself.

Immediately, the Queen Mother and Concubine Wan rewarded the head and face and the jade bottle one after another.

This girl from the Liu family was appointed in the palace, and was recognized by the Queen Mother and Concubine Wan. It can be said that no one can compare to her today!

Now everyone looked at her with even more envious eyes than before.

Xue Qingyin raised her eyes and looked over again.

I saw Liu Yuerong taking the reward with both hands, and she was so excited that she couldn't help but tremble slightly.

...Well, her worries are unnecessary.

It seemed that Miss Liu was extremely happy to be able to marry King Wei.

Liu Yuerong accepted the reward and returned to her seat, but suddenly glanced at Xue Qingyin.

Miss Liu looked a little proud and raised her chin at Xue Qingyin without any trace.

Xue Qingyin's head was filled with questions.

Is she okay? Why are you showing off to me?

Xue Qingyin's thoughts changed, and she finally remembered in an instant why the figure of Miss Liu looked so familiar!

Not long after she arrived, He Songning took her to a poetry gathering organized by King Wei.

She was sitting in the pavilion when she saw a young girl getting up and exchanging poems with the King of Wei. Later, the King of Wei said that she had not read enough books, which made her cry.

No wonder...

It turned out that this man had admired the King of Wei from early on, and even regarded her as his love rival after the poetry meeting!

Xue Qingyin curled her lips, feeling bored, and ate the food by herself.

Xue Qinghe also realized that this palace banquet had nothing to do with her.

Just... "Qiu Xin, why are you trembling?"

Qiu Xin shook her head and said softly: "It's nothing."

She was worried that Emperor Liang De would point out Xue Qingyin just like he pointed out the girl from the Liu family, and finally point her out to King Xuan.

Then the nobles also rewarded Xue Qingyin with unlimited glory.

Just thinking about that scene made Qiu Xin feel uncomfortable with a heart attack.

Until a bell rings.

The palace banquet is over.

Qiu Xin exhaled the breath in her chest and laughed secretly. It's great. Not like Xue Qingyin, haha. People like her would dislike being a concubine for King Xuan.

She went on to marry someone without her parents' orders, so I guess she can only be a concubine!

But what disappointed her was... when she turned back to look at her eldest daughter.

Xue Qingyin actually had no expression at all!

Isn't she disappointed?

"Miss Xue." Someone approached quietly.

Xue Qingyin and others turned to look.

It's sunset.

Wanxia smiled decently and said: "I picked up the girl, so naturally I will send her back."

Xue Qingyin nodded and quietly left the table with her.

Naturally, Xue Qinghe was also there.

The other noble ladies took a step forward first, and when they dispersed at the entrance of the palace, a few interested people couldn't help but wonder: "Why don't you see the eldest girl of the Xue family?"

"I suddenly saw her in the palace just now."

"That day when we visited the lake, she was traveling with His Highness Prince Xuan and His Highness Prince Wei and several nobles. I thought she would also be appointed in court today. Who knew that nothing was left behind."

"Why were the two girls from the Qiao family and the Lu family not accused of marriage in public? Why is it that she, Liu Yuerong, is different?"

"How come we can understand the Sacred Heart so easily?"

"Too."

Sighing and feeling disappointed, they each returned home.

However, Xue Qingyin and others were led by the sunset to the previous side hall to wait for a while.

After waiting like this for half an hour, the sunset finally sent them out of the palace.

It happened to be at the wrong time with other ladies.

Then he can freely use the chariot carried by strong men again.

Xue Qingyin was very satisfied.

It doesn't hurt to wait a little longer. Anyway, there is a sedan to sit in, so you don't have to walk.

As for marrying King Xuan...

She has now seen all kinds of complicated entanglements in the royal family, and knows that it is not an easy task.

The reason why King Xuan helped her today was probably just...well, because King Xuan was a gentleman.

Although such words are used about him, it is difficult to connect with the villain image in the original work.

But even a ruthless character like He Songning can be the male protagonist!

Why can't a villain be a gentleman?

Xue Qingyin thinks there is nothing wrong with this logic.

After returning home, Xue Qingyin took a bath and changed her medicine.

Mrs. Xue came to visit her.

"You didn't make any mistakes today, did you?" Mrs. Xue asked nervously.

Xue Qingyin was very happy: "Auntie, what mistake can I make? Rolling in front of the emperor? Or beating the princess?"

Mrs. Xue also laughed: "There is no formality! I am asking you seriously."

Xue Qingyin whispered: "Don't worry, I slept well in the palace today and didn't say a few words. In the eyes of those nobles, I am nothing. They didn't even look at me."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xue became angry: "My daughter is so beautiful, how can she not look at you more?"

Xue Qingyin thought to herself that probably only in her mother's heart, she felt that her daughter was the best.

She climbed out of the tub and wiped the water on her body while saying: "If they look at me one more time, I will have to marry King Wei and become one of his seventeen or eight women.

.”

Mrs. Xue sighed: "Then it's better not to look at you."

She paused and said, "What do you think of Mrs. Lin Yushi's house?"

"Ah?" Xue Qingyin reacted immediately, "So you came here to tell me about the son of the Lin family?"

Mrs. Xue smiled and said: "You are the only one who is smart. You also know that the only person your mother and I have close contact with is Mrs. Lin from the Yushi Mansion. After thinking about it, it is better to go to her house than to go to anyone else's house. When you were young,

She even hugged you."

Xue Qingyin pouted: "No, her daughter hates me very much."

Mrs. Xue wanted to persuade her again: "It was all the conflicts I had with others when I was young. How come you still remember it today?"

Xue Qingyin pretended to be sleepy, yawned and said, "Did you only know today that I hold a grudge?"

Mrs. Xue felt sorry for her because she was so tired after a trip to the palace, so she said nothing more.

When Xue Qingyin went to sleep, Mrs. Xue tucked her in.

When she returned to her yard, the maid next to her said to her as usual: "Master is still on duty at the household department today."

"Yes, I understand." Mrs. Xue looked calm.

The courtyard seemed desolate and quiet.

But thinking of a pair of children, Mrs. Xue fell into sleep with peace of mind.

Xue Qingyin didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning.

When the maid saw her waking up, she quickly reported the important event: "The Duke of Zhao's Mansion sent someone here, saying that they were going to hold a wedding ceremony for the girl. They also invited the master and the madam. They drafted the invitation separately, and the master received his share.

Went to the household department."

So serious?

Xue Qingyin is not quite used to it yet.

She didn't even understand why Duke Zhao's government valued her so much.

The maid paused for a moment and then said: "There is one more thing. I don't know if the girl likes to hear it."

"Just tell me." Xue Qingyin said to her heart, "I hate people who cheat on me the most."

The maid said softly: "Early this morning, Your Majesty issued an order to appoint the girl from the Qiao family to be the concubine of His Highness King Wei, and the girl from the Liu family to be the main concubine of His Highness King Wei."

Then Miss Lu should be the one who wants to point it out to King Xuan, right?

You can't give all three to King Wei.

Xue Qingyin smacked her lips and speculated secretly.

The maid continued worriedly: "Why is there no imperial edict for the eldest girl yet?"

Xue Qingyin smiled and said: "I don't even have the courage to think about it, but you did it for me."

The maid blushed and murmured: "Isn't it because I'm afraid that the girl won't be able to marry King Xuan in the end, and even King Wei will be gone?"

Xue Qingyin threatened her: "If you say this, you will easily be beaten to death."

The maid hurriedly raised her hands to cover her mouth: "I, I won't tell anyone."

Xue Qingyin got up and asked the woman waiting outside to come in and dress herself up.

The maid next to her was young. Xue Qingyin educated her while combing her hair: "You don't even know how miserable it is for the girl from the Qiao family to marry the King of Wei."

The maid was puzzled: "What's so bad? I can be a concubine."

"Think about it, how many concubines does King Wei have? How many people does she have to fight for? If each person has thirty days in a month, how many days can they fight to get King Wei to stay in their own room?"

"...Yeah, it's the same. But if it's a girl, it's definitely different."

"What's the difference?"

"The King of Wei will definitely pamper girls."

"Then a dozen of his wives and concubines will poison me together one day?"

The maid choked.

Xue Qingyin smacked her lips: "And there are so many women, how can he take care of them? I'm afraid they will be useless in a few more years."

The maid blushed and hesitated, unable to continue.

The woman combing her hair laughed angrily: "How come the master takes the lead in talking about such dirty words? What kind of behavior is this?"

Xue Qingyin's face was full of smile: "Mother Zhong, am I right?"

The maid on the side suddenly interrupted and said: "Well, if His Highness King Xuan doesn't even have a concubine by his side, is it... is he very powerful in that respect?"

Xue Qingyin: "Pfft." She almost choked on the tea she was gargling.

But she tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said: "...What you said makes sense."

Mother Zhong was so angry that she pinched her waist.

At this time, His Royal Highness King Xuan was standing in front of Emperor Liang De.

Emperor Liang De, with a sullen face, asked him: "Why not? If you like that girl from the Xue family, I will appoint her as your side concubine. Let the Lu family's daughter be your main concubine. I will do this."
