With a "pop" sound, the slap fell heavily on Wan Yun's face. Jian Xiao found that Wan Yun rushed over the moment the slap fell.
"Wanyun!" Jian Xiao exclaimed
With a burning face, Wan Yun knelt in front of Yue Zhaoyi, "My mother-in-law is doing this for Zhaoyi's own good, please forgive me."
When Yue Zhaoyi saw Wan Yun's terrifying face, she was startled and cursed: "Ugly! I'm teaching people, what's the deal with you? You're not a ghost, you're not a ghost!"
When Jian Xiao saw her people being treated like this, she couldn't help but frown, and pulled Wan Yun over, "Yue Zhaoyi, please be careful, you are the concubine of Biga Kingdom, you should behave like a concubine!"
"Morality? What a joke! A man who has slept with countless men is still talking about morality to me?" Yue Zhaoyi sneered.
"Really? Then the bartender who has drank with countless men is qualified?" Jian Xiao retorted that she had heard Zhang Qin talk about this.
Yue Zhaoyi's face turned red and white, and she was speechless for a moment. Jian Xiao looked at her coldly, "Empress Zhaoyi, please take care of your health, don't let Xiao Longzi suffer! I will naturally take care of my girl, don't worry about me.
!Wanyun! Let’s go!”
Jian Xiao left with Wanyun, and Yue Zhaoyi shouted angrily, "Jian Xiao!"
Jian Xiao stopped and said without looking back, "By the way, you should pay more attention to the matter of my mother's cat. Don't let anything happen to you. We will tell you that we didn't remind you!"
Yue Zhaoyi put her hands on her hips, wanting to run over and catch up with Jian Xiao immediately, but she couldn't move easily and could only stomp her feet in place, "Double Happiness! Come here!"
Shuangxi ran over and put his ear next to Yue Zhaoyi's, listening and nodding.
Jian Xiao spoke harshly to Yue Zhaoyi once, and felt very relieved. It turns out that this is the feeling of revenge. Wan Yun followed behind and kept saying, "Empress, it is not appropriate for you to offend Yue Zhaoyi for me!"
"What's inappropriate? Isn't it because she's pregnant? Humph, there are so many women in this harem, I don't believe it yet, sooner or later there will be some!"
"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense!" Wan Yun said
"What do you mean?" Jian Xiao asked
"Yue Zhaoyi entered the palace as a queen. The emperor only had sex with her a few times before she became pregnant. Other empresses, such as Concubine Li Shu and Concubine Gong, not to mention the empress, none of them lasted this long. The entire harem except Yue Zhaoyi
There are no more two!" Wan Yun whispered.
Is there something fishy here? Jian Xiao thought, "How did Yue Zhaoyi enter the palace?"
"At that time, the emperor was conducting a general selection of women from all over the world. It was strange that she was selected. She didn't look the best, nor did she have the best temperament. I don't know why she was selected by the selector."
"She was not chosen by the emperor himself?"
"There are so many beautiful women, how can the emperor see them? It's just for a few selectors to pick the best ones," Wan Yun said.
"Who is the selector?" Jian Xiao asked
“I don’t know this”
Jian Xiao stopped and looked at Wanyun. At this time, her cheeks were red and swollen. Jian Xiao touched it distressedly, "Does it hurt? I have medicine in the house."
Wan Yun looked at Jian Xiao's eyes and said, "Mother, why aren't you afraid of me? When others see me, they wish they could stay away."
"Because what I look at is not the face, but the heart. Who can always have a beautiful appearance? Only the heart remains unchanged," Jian Xiao said
Wan Yun nodded, "Thank you for your words!"
Jian Xiao suddenly opened her mouth, "Wanyun, this sentence may be a bit abrupt for me to ask you."
"But it doesn't matter!"
"Have you ever thought about what you were like before?"
Wan Yun smiled faintly, "What's the use of thinking about it?"
"I think you must be a stunning woman" Jian Xiao said
"If there is a chance, I must let the empress know!" Wan Yun supported Jian Xiao and walked towards Xiaoxiang Tower.
As soon as I walked out of the house, a maid came over and said, "My dear, a letter from you!"
"Oh? Mine?" Jian Xiao took it. She really didn't know anyone in Biga Country, or that person had a relationship with her enough to write a letter.
Jian Xiao opened it, and the familiar fonts popped out one by one, "Protect yourself, I will send someone to guard you! I will be by your side, waiting for me!"
It's Tuo Jinglie! Jian Xiao's eyes suddenly became moist.
"Empress? Do you want to reply?" Wan Yun asked
Jian Xiao shook her head, "No need!"
Walking into the house, the maids had already laid out the food. Jian Xiao shook her head, "I don't have much appetite today. I won't eat. You guys eat!" After that, she walked back into the house.
Wan Yun looked at Jian Xiao, who was full of worries, and did not disturb him. Instead, he arranged for everyone to eat together.
Jian Xiao was lying on the bed, staring at the letter. She smiled, and her heart was full of joy. Sure enough, Tuo Jinglie was safe and sound, and he would insist on being with her, but... Jian Xiao thought of herself.
The agreement with Zhang Qin and contacting him privately would cost him his life. Thinking of this, Jian Xiao's sweet heart felt heavy.
"The Emperor has arrived..."
Jian Xiao hurriedly stood up. What was he doing here at this time? Jian Xiao hurriedly stuffed the letter into the pillow. Before she put on her clothes, she saw Zhang Qin had walked in and looked at Jian Xiao to get up. Zhang Qin was busy
Said, "Mo Qi! I'm here to talk to you, and then it's time to go back to the imperial study."
"Is political affairs so close recently?" Jian Xiao sat up and asked softly.
"Hey, the papers for the imperial examination have been put away. I was asked to name them one by one and sort them out, and I was told to post the list the day after tomorrow! I've been reading it all night, and I've only read less than 30% of it," Zhang Qin said angrily.
"Then why not let the examiners take a look?"
Zhang Qin shook his head, "When the late emperor was still alive, he made an explanation that talent selection must be done personally."
"Are our ancestors afraid of being suspected of fraud?" Jian Xiao said.
Zhang Qin smiled, "I don't want my empire to be ruined by a group of nepotistic people, so I can only watch it myself."
"How's the level?" Jian Xiao asked
Zhang Qin curled his lips and said, "The good and the bad are mixed!"
Jian Xiao suddenly said, "If you can trust me, why don't I go and show it to you? I'll sort out the good from the bad first, and you just have to choose the best from the good, right?"
Zhang Qin looked at Jian Xiao dubiously, "Those are all long essays. The topic this time is about water control, which is very boring."
Jian Xiao shook her head, "Water management is nothing more than dredging and blocking, flooding and still water, and irrigating one farmland for the people's use. It's not difficult or difficult." She started her business by reading written materials, and her photographic memory is her ability
Zhang Qin nodded when he heard what she said, "Then I'll have to work hard for you these days!"
Jian Xiao hurriedly went to the ground, "What are you doing?" Zhang Qin asked
"It's not that we have to publish the list the day after tomorrow. If we start today, tomorrow will be much easier!" Jian Xiao said with a smile.
Zhang Qin shook his head helplessly and left with Jian Xiao, heading to the imperial study. Before leaving, Jian Xiao asked Wan Yun to clean up the house.
Watching Jian Xiao leave, Wan Yun walked back to Jian Xiao's bedroom, reached into the pillow, took out the letter, read it about once, folded it, and put it back into the pillow.
