Xie Mingxi did not raise her head, but she could still clearly detect those two glances.
As if searching for prey, it landed on her accurately.
Who would look at her without hesitation in the Jiaofang Palace?
Who dares to be so presumptuous in front of Queen Yu?
Xie Mingxi quickly raised his eyes and caught the other party's interested gaze.
Xie Mingxi's heart sank, and her whole body became cold.
The worst prediction before entering the palace actually came true... The BMW that was previously awarded to the Xie Mansion was the reason why he was called into the palace this time!
It was not the young princes who became interested in her and coveted her, but Emperor Jianwen who had passed the age of knowing his destiny!
No wonder Princess Yongning smiled so maliciously.
Because Princess Yongning had already guessed Emperor Jianwen's thoughts.
There are many beautiful and intelligent girls, but she is the only one who looks very much like the young Empress Yu.
Emperor Jianwen "deeply loved" Empress Yu, and he fell in love with her when he saw her who looked like his wife when she was young.
Yes! For an emperor, all the beauties in the world are at his fingertips. It doesn’t matter whether they are worth cherishing or not. It doesn’t matter if they are too young. They can be brought into the palace in a few years and they can be used as a substitute to entertain themselves in their free time.
Your majesty, why should you care whether you are willing to take this "pastime"?
Even Queen Yu would be powerless to stop Emperor Jianwen!
This is royal power!
Standing at the top of power, above thousands of people, you can do whatever you want.
Xie Mingxi froze for a moment, exhaled slowly, forcing herself to calm down.
No matter when, where, or what danger you encounter, you must face it calmly. Fear and anger will not help!
…
The Sixth Princess, who was standing next to Concubine Mei, was originally filled with joy. At this time, she also noticed something was wrong.
Isn't Emperor Jianwen talking to Empress Dowager Li? Why does he glance at the corner of the palace from time to time? Wherever his eyes fall, he is also very familiar...
The Sixth Princess calmly raised her eyes and glanced at Emperor Jianwen, whose eyes were shining with a strange light, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
The sixth princess's chest was filled with fierce anger!
This shameless old man!
This lustful old pervert~stick!
According to current customs, those who marry early can get married at the age of fifteen. At forty-three years old, he is only a few years younger than Mr. Xie. But Emperor Jianwen actually had other thoughts about Xie Mingxi, who was only eleven years old!
How hateful!
So annoying!
The fire in his chest was burning brighter and stronger, as if it was about to rush out of his chest, rush to the shameless old whore, and burn him to death...
"Anping," that shameless old pervert looked over with a smile, his eyes filled with the light of a loving father: "What are you looking at me for?"
I want to kill you immediately!
The sixth princess thought coldly in her heart, but a slightly shy smile appeared on her face: "I'm a little hungry."
Emperor Jianwen laughed dumbly: "Why are you hungry before the palace banquet?"
Mei Fei was startled.
During breakfast, she watched with her own eyes as the Sixth Princess ate two bowls of rice porridge, three beef buns, and four plates of side dishes... Why did she feel hungry again so quickly?
However, in front of everyone, Concubine Mei would never undermine the Sixth Princess. She hurriedly opened her mouth to explain: "Anping didn't eat much breakfast today. Maybe it was because he was too excited when he knew that his classmates were going to the palace. Instead, he didn't.
Whet your appetite!"
This explanation is absolutely perfect!
The Sixth Princess nodded secretly in her heart and followed Mei Fei's words and said, "I really can't hide my thoughts from my mother."
Then he looked at Emperor Jianwen with pleading eyes: "Father, I want to go to the side hall to have some snacks. Can I ask Xie Mingxi to accompany me?"
Emperor Jianwen understood some trivial matters and nodded readily.
…
Under the envious gazes of all the girls, Xie Mingxi calmly walked out from the corner and saluted the Emperor and Queen Mother Li: "Xie Mingxi, I have met the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the Queen Mother."
Queen Mother Li looked at her briefly and asked with a smile: "Are you Yongning's daughter?"
The Yongning mentioned by Queen Mother Li is Xie Mingxi’s aunt, Princess Yongning.
From an etiquette perspective, there is nothing wrong with this statement.
Xie Mingxi respectfully agrees.
"Yongning really knows how to teach her daughter." Empress Dowager Li never mentioned Xie Mingxi's status as a concubine, as if all the credit was due to Princess Yongning.
Xie Mingxi was surprised in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled and replied: "It is indeed my mother's fault that I am what I am today."
Then, he naturally flattered Empress Dowager Li: "My mother grew up in the Cining Palace. The Empress Dowager taught her that my mother is a blessing in life."
Even if you wear it a thousand times, you will never wear it!
Mrs. Li indeed relaxed her brows and smiled,
At this moment, everyone in the hall focused their attention on Xie Mingxi.
Xie Mingxi is not at all shy and reserved, and her expression is calm and composed, which is admirable.
Queen Yu looked at Xie Mingxi, with an indescribable complex feeling in her heart. Emperor Jianwen's intentions were clear. The more outstanding Xie Mingxi was, the harder it would be to escape the fate of entering the palace...
Emperor Jianwen's eyes also fell on Xie Mingxi's beautiful face.
The amazement of meeting Yu Lianniang for the first time when he was young suddenly came to his heart. At this moment, Emperor Jianwen also vaguely felt the joy of returning to his youth.
At that time, Yu Lianniang was only of this age. She wore a Confucian shirt and pretended to be a teenager. Her features were delicate and beautiful. He didn't know that she was a girl, but he still liked to get close to her...
Emperor Jianwen, filled with sweet memories, turned to Empress Yu and smiled softly: "Lian Niang, when I look at her, I feel like I'm seeing you when you were young."
Now Yu Lianniang is old and her beauty has faded away.
So, you want a girl who can replace Yu Lianniang to enter the palace?
Empress Yu felt a sense of sadness and hatred in her heart.
Yes, hate.
She once deeply loved the man she had sworn to forever, but she didn't know when he had changed beyond recognition, making her hate him.
But her honor, status, and rights were all due to his favor. In order to survive in the palace, and in order to maintain the dignity and dignity of the queen in the palace, she had to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and she had to deceive herself and others.
"Your Majesty, please let her and Anping retreat first!" Empress Yu smiled as usual.
Emperor Jianwen nodded.
…
In addition to the main hall, there are two side halls in Jiaofang Hall.
The side hall is slightly smaller, and several maids are on duty in the side hall. The sixth princess led Xie Mingxi into the side hall. The maids hurriedly bowed and said, "I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess."
The Sixth Princess hummed casually: "Send me some cakes and tea."
The maids responded respectfully, two of them quickly left to prepare cakes and tea, while the other two continued to wait aside.
This is the case everywhere in the palace, and there is almost no chance to be alone.
To say the least, even if you are alone, you still have to be careful that the walls have ears.
In the Jiaofang Palace, one must be extremely cautious when speaking.
The Sixth Princess looked at Xie Mingxi who was also silent in silence, suddenly stretched out her hand and held Xie Mingxi's hand tightly.
