What a smooth-handed seventh prince and a thick-faced concubine!
Queen Yu was so angry that she laughed out loud: "In the past, I really underestimated you. Now I know that you still have the ability to refuse to admit it until death!"
How can you do it in the palace if you don't have a thick skin?
Xie Mingxi looked back with an innocent face: "My daughter-in-law puts her mother first in everything she says and does, and she is never disrespectful. My mother praises my daughter-in-law, and my daughter-in-law feels quite flattered."
"Why do you refuse to admit your fault? My daughter-in-law really doesn't dare to accept it."
Queen Yu snorted slightly impatiently: "That's it! There's no one else here, so there's no need to go around."
"If you hadn't opened your mouth to plead for the Song family today, I would never have allowed her to leave the palace alive. The Xiao family's reputation is dispensable in my eyes."
Queen Yu paused and looked over meaningfully: "As for the face of the seventh prince's palace, it depends on how you, the seventh prince's concubine, behave."
As the queen of the middle palace for many years, this move had the implicit intention of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, and Queen Yu used it quite smoothly.
Xie Mingxi answered the question calmly: "My daughter-in-law opened her mouth today because she was worried about her father's posthumous reputation. She had no intention of interceding for the Song family, let alone showing goodwill to the Third Emperor's sister-in-law."
"My daughter-in-law and His Highness have no nostalgia for the capital. When my father is buried and the new emperor ascends the throne, His Highness will submit a memorial and invite himself to become a vassal. I hope my mother can fulfill my wish."
If you want to fight or fight, it's your business. We don't want to get involved, and we won't get involved.
Empress Yu narrowed her eyes slightly, her eyes full of introspection: "Does the Seventh Prince really intend to become a vassal?"
As a prince, how could he leave the center of power and go to a remote mountainous area to become a vassal?
With Xie Mingxi's ability and skill, how could he be willing to withdraw from the power struggle and give up a good opportunity to make a name for himself?
Xie Mingxi looked back without fear, with a calm expression: "A is like arsenic, B is like honey. Everyone has his or her own ambitions. Your Highness has no ambitions, he just wants to live in a corner. I never miss things that don't belong to me!"
Of course, a few light words could not convince the deeply suspicious Empress Yu.
Queen Yu said calmly: "I only hope that your words and deeds will be consistent. Otherwise, no matter how angry Xianzhi is, I will not spare you."
"The Queen Mother mentioned Master, and the daughter-in-law has something to report to the Queen Mother." Xie Mingxi said softly: "Master intends to go with us to Shu. Please also ask the Queen Mother to agree to let him go!"
Queen Yu: "..."
Queen Yu looked shocked, and she was definitely not faking it. She blurted out: "How is this possible! Xianzhi was born in the capital and grew up in the capital. Her relatives and friends are all in the capital. There is also Lotus Pond Academy...how could she leave the capital?"
Xie Mingxi responded calmly: "Master has always regretted that he has never traveled to Beijing. The Shu region has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the scenery is superb. Master has quite the intention to go there. As for the Lotus Pond Academy, Master has already made arrangements. The only thing he is reluctant to give up is,
She is the queen mother."
Queen Yu: "..."
Pooh!
She left as soon as she wanted, and also wanted to kidnap her only close friend with her. It was really hateful and annoying!
Empress Yu had a dark face and no longer wanted to find faults: "This matter will be discussed later. I will wait until I ask Xianzhi."
Xie Mingxi said calmly: "Yes."
It really gets worse the more I look at it.
Queen Yu waved her hand: "That's all, please step aside first."
…
Xie Mingxi returned to the mourning hall with a calm expression.
The eyes that fell on her face were one after another, some were inquiring, some were curious, some were gloating, and some were concerned. Xie Mingxi ignored them all and returned to her original position and knelt down.
Princess Changping glanced over with unkind eyes: "Why does the Queen Mother summon you?"
Princess Changping originally had a good impression of Xie Mingxi. After what happened with the Song family during the day, she decided that Xie Mingxi had joined Xiao Yuhan's camp, and she became displeased with Xie Mingxi in every possible way.
Xie Mingxi responded casually: "It's nothing important. It's just that the queen mother was worried that the imperial sister would have a bad temper and quarrel with the third emperor's sister-in-law. She specifically asked me to go over and inquire about it, and also specifically told me to persuade the imperial sister to be calm and to value peace.
.”
Princess Changping: "..."
I have long heard that Xie Mingxi has a sharp tongue, and today I finally learned the lesson.
In front of everyone, Princess Changping couldn't turn her back no matter how angry she was. She had no choice but to swallow her suffocation. She silently made another note about Xie Mingxi in her heart.
Xiao Yuhan felt warm in his heart and winked at Xie Mingxi to express his gratitude.
Xie Mingxi blinked back.
When I was a classmate, my master taught me, and they often communicated with each other with a wink.
As soon as the familiar little movements caught his eye, Yin Xiaoxiao became interested and blinked at Xie Mingxi several times.
Xie Mingxi: "..."
Do you really think that you are a roundworm in her belly?!
…
What happened in the Jiaofang Palace was naturally hidden from everyone.
The Song family suffered thirty blows and half of her life was lost, and was later sent back to the Xiao family by the palace maid. The Xiao family was disgraced.
After receiving the news, Xiao Shangshu was so angry that his face was livid and he could hardly breathe. He was cursing secretly in his heart.
This sister-in-law, Mrs. Song, was always talkative. She didn't calm down when she entered the palace. She dared to arbitrarily lie about the late emperor... even if she was beaten to death, it was unjust! It made the Xiao family a laughing stock! It even made the crown prince Xiao Yu suffer.
Han.
In Xiao Shangshu's heart, his daughter is naturally much more important than his sister-in-law.
What's more, the third prince will soon be the new emperor, and Xiao Yuhan will be the new queen of Qi Dynasty. The Yu family, which was in decline at that time, has risen with the power of Queen Yu, and has been firmly ranked as the most famous family in the capital over the years.
From now on, it will be the Xiao family's turn.
However, no one can say for sure how long this "future" will take. Before you are fully fledged, you should keep a low profile. This Song family has more success than failure!
Xiao Shangshu was so suffocated that he simply "fainted" for a while.
The third prince and others were even more well-informed, and they gradually learned about the happenings in Jiaofang Palace.
The third prince was filled with anger.
The incident of Concubine Shu being buried had already made him furious. Empress Yu and Princess Changping deliberately provoked and made things difficult for Xiao Yuhan, which made him lose face even more.
As a prince, he is probably the most useless among all the princes in the history of Da Qi.
Tolerate!
He must endure it!
I can always endure it until the day when my wings are full!
Huh! Queen Yu! Princess Changping! No matter how powerful they are, they are still women and can only be confined to the harem. If the world is unified, it will eventually be his world. One day, he will be above everyone else and hold the supreme imperial power.
.No need to suffer any more idleness, no one will look at anyone’s face.
One day, he will make their mother and daughter crawl at his feet!
The third prince's cold eyes glanced at the consort Gu Qing who was kneeling beside him.
Gu Qing's heart was full of helplessness and he simply kept his head hanging.
Sheng Hong silently counted the time, and when midnight was approaching, he quietly slipped out of the mourning hall and went to Jiaofang Hall.
