No concubine dared to play any tricks in front of her. Some concubines who had been in the palace for many years knew that no matter how good your tricks were, it would still be worse than turning over the table and not playing with you.
The queen is the one who flips the table.
If a concubine makes a big fuss because she is vying for favor and slandering other concubines, the queen will not listen to any excuses. She will be bloodied as soon as she comes forward. She will directly pull out the mastermind and a group of related concubines, regardless of whether these concubines are favored or whether they have children.
No matter what the world is like, she doesn't care about these things. She directly calls all the concubines in the palace and performs the execution in front of them.
The queen was born in the military. She marched and fought with her father and brother since she was a child, and even led the troops herself. Dealing with those who committed crimes was just a piece of cake, they would just beat them until they dared not do it again, and those who committed serious crimes would be beaten to death.
The offending concubine was beaten to a bloody pulp by the three-inch-wide, one-inch-thick, seven-foot-long board. The air came out more and the air came in less. No matter how scheming those concubines were, they were still delicate and delicate ladies. The biggest pain they suffered was just to kneel one more time.
Kneel down, I have never seen such a bloody scene. Most of the concubines fainted from the execution scene.
There were concubines who had committed serious crimes. It was found that the favored concubine who had been harmed had died of miscarriage, and she was directly killed by being tortured. The concubine who had been sealed as a concubine did not show any mercy even if she cried and scolded her.
Although Xiao Qingyu said those words to her brother, she is actually the most unruly person.
Is she afraid of those courtiers joining the Xiao family? In the early years, she was the least afraid. She even wanted to cause trouble for the Xiao family, because she still had resentment in her heart and would not restrain herself. She resented her grandfather and parents for taking the honor of the Xiao family and humiliating Beiyuan.
Stability comes to suppress her and sacrifice her personal happiness.
But everyone from the emperor to the Xiao family resolved her problems easily. No matter how ruthless her methods were, they were just like watching an ignorant child playing around, as if to say, no matter what you do,
No, you are still the queen of Beiyuan, this is a fact that cannot be changed.
Perhaps, her parents felt guilty, so they wiped her behind to clean up the mess. No matter how hard she attacked the concubines, the courtiers did not dare to say a word, and the emperor ignored it lightly.
He doesn't care at all who is the concubine who is injured or disabled today or who is the concubine who dies tomorrow. The same goes for the Xiao family. They all know that she will be a good queen. She is just a little tempered, but it doesn't matter.
It will calm down and the child will grow up.
Xiao Qingyu deliberately caused trouble and anger for them, but they didn't care at all. She was like a punch on cotton, leaving her powerless.
She began to restrain her temper and personality when Jiao Jiao entered the palace for the first time at the age of three.
She caught another troublemaking concubine and was seen by Jiaojiao during the execution. She was so frightened that she burst into tears. She couldn't sleep well for several days and kept having nightmares.
She was at a loss as to how to coax her, and it took several days to coax her, but Jiao Jiao accidentally fell down and was out of breath from crying again.
She was so fragile, as if she would break if touched.
Only then did she realize that she should restrain her temper. She was always so manic and depressed, not like a queen. After all, she was the queen of Beiyuan.
Xiao Qingyu gradually restrained her temper in front of others, but when she got along with Zhao Yelin in private, she still couldn't restrain herself. However, Zhao Yelin was still the same as the silent young man who followed her at the border, just watching her lose her temper.
, occasionally when he was in a bad mood, he would have a few quarrels with her.
Xiao Qingyu felt that Zhao Yelin was very boring, and even the quarrels were unpleasant.
He even said: "If you are unhappy, take it out on a few concubines who have made mistakes. Don't take it out on me."
Xiao Qingyu sneered: "Didn't you ask for me as the Queen? You can't stand it anymore?"
Zhao Yelin said after a long while: "What I seek is the queen, not Xiao Qingyu, so there is no need to show Xiao Qingyu in front of me."
Zhao Yelin's voice was calm and without any warmth: "Because Xiao Qingyu has never belonged to me, only the queen is mine."
Xiao Qingyu laughed after hearing this. She thought he was angry and didn't even call himself me.
Now after so many years, Xiao Qingyu has learned to be a virtuous and gentle queen. She can pretend to be in front of the emperor and rarely quarrels with him.
But he is still the same as before, sometimes exposing her so that she can stop pretending in front of him in private.
At this time, Xiao Qingyu wished that he was mute. It was annoying when he didn't speak, and even more annoying when he spoke.
"The Queen will let her sleep here? You are afraid of passing on the illness to your son and don't let him see you, but aren't you afraid of passing the illness on to her?"
Zhao Yelin looked at the queen lying on the bedside. He wanted to sit on the bedside and express condolences to her, but there was no place to sit. The bed was so big, and it was all occupied by the sleeping girl. Did she need to sleep in such a wide position?
?
Xiao Qingyu glanced at the emperor and said, "Zhao Yan is still young. I'm afraid this sick look will scare him."
Zhao Yelin: "Zhao Yanneng is capable of both literary and martial arts, and his face doesn't change even when he sees someone beheaded and blood spattered on the spot. Do you think he will be afraid of your sick appearance? You just don't like him because he is my son."
Xiao Qingyu: "He is also my son."
Zhao Yelin sat on the couch next to him, took a sip of tea, and said, "It's good for you to know that Zhao Yan is also your son, and he is already the prince."
Xiao Qingyu closed his eyes, with a cold smile on his lips: "You really dare to stand up, he has the blood of the Xiao family."
Zhao Yelin gently put down the tea cup and looked at Xiao Qingyu: "So what, Zhao Yan is the prince first, and the Xiao family second."
Xiao Qingyu glanced at Wen Jiaojiao, who was still sleeping, and turned to Zhao Yelin: "Are you very satisfied with the prince Yan'er?"
Zhao Yelin: "Of course I am satisfied. He is the most outstanding among the princes. The other princes are completely incompetent in front of him."
These words were generous in praising Xiao Qingyu's son, but there was no sign of happiness on her face.
Xiao Qingyu said: "Do you know why I don't like Zhao Yan?"
Zhao Yelin raised his chin slightly, indicating for her to continue.
"Because Zhao Yan is exactly the same as you. You like him because he is the most like you."
Zhao Yelin chuckled: "The prince is better than me and a little more likable."
Xiao Qingyu: "Indeed, probably because he is my son and you are not."
Zhao Yelin's smile faded, and Xiao Qingyu almost said, "You are no longer my son."
After being a queen for so many years, she still has some bad habits brought by her service in the army. In her early years, she was full of dirty words that only men in the army would say.
In fact, every time Xiao Qingyu was angry with him, he was angry, but he didn't show it.
He picked up the tea cup and took a sip to suppress the anger in his heart. If it wasn't for the sake of her being ill and fear of waking up the little girl, he wouldn't be so polite. As for quarrels, Mr. Xiao Qingyu
It's unreasonable.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the little girl in the bed moving twice, as if she was about to wake up.
