Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

Xiaoqing was very conflicted.

Should she tell the Queen about the Emperor's selection of concubines? The servants are discussing the selection of concubines, so the Queen should have known about it a long time ago, right?

It seems to be the same whether she says it or not?

But if she didn't say it, and the Queen didn't know about it, she could have stopped it, but ended up missing the chance. Wouldn't she be harming the Queen?

Xiaoqing's mind was full of various thoughts.

He sighed, stood up, brushed the dust off his butt, and walked towards the queen's bedroom: If you look up, you will be cut by the knife, and if you look down, you will be cut by the knife. Life and death are determined by heaven. Let's go first and see.

Speaking of which, the Queen and the Emperor have a deep relationship. If the Queen knew that the Emperor was going to have another woman, she would definitely be very sad, right?

However, it seems normal for the emperor to take concubines. Which emperor doesn't have three palaces and six courtyards...

Xiaoqing felt sad for the Queen.

It was obviously not a far distance, but she walked for a long time.

"Sister Xiaoqing! Are you here to see the Queen?" A little maid in the Queen's palace was very sweet-spoken. When she saw Xiaoqing, she immediately called out with a smile.

"Well, is the Queen here?" Xiao Qing asked weakly.

"Yes! The Queen is having breakfast." The little maid had a deep dimple on her face, "Please come in."

Sister Xiaoqing is an old lady who has followed the Queen for a long time. Under normal circumstances, she does not need to report to the Queen when entering her bedroom, unless it is inconvenient for the Queen.

If the Empress is eating, dressing up, choosing clothes or something like that, Sister Xiaoqing can just go in.

"Please go and report it for me." Xiaoqing sighed softly.

Soon, there will be many more women in the palace.

With so many eyes staring at her, she couldn't be so casual anymore.

There must be people who want to take the throne and bring down the Queen. She is the Queen's confidant, and there are many people who hope that she will make mistakes.

Therefore, from now on, she must be vigilant, do everything according to the rules, and not give others the opportunity to find fault.

"Okay." Seeing Xiaoqing's serious expression, the little maid nodded obediently and went in.

Not long after, she came out of the door with a smile: "Sister Xiaoqing, the Queen Mother wants you to come in."

Xiao Qing nodded, and when she passed by the little maid, she paused and said, "I have something to ask the Queen, you go outside and guard, don't let anyone in."

"Yes." The little maid smiled playfully. After Xiaoqing went in, she closed the door, brought a chair and sat down, blocking the door.

"Why are you so distant today?" Yun Xi, who was eating, looked at Xiao Qing with amusement.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Xiaoqing knelt down directly.

"What's wrong?" Yun Xi was startled.

Xiaoqing was arranged by her to take care of the two children.

He suddenly knelt down so seriously. Did something happen to the child?

Yun Xi's heart was beating nervously.

The chopsticks in her hand were about to be broken by her: "Hurry up and tell me."

"Empress, something bad has happened. I just heard the news that the Emperor is going to hold a selection to choose a concubine." Xiaoqing said anxiously, with a trembling voice.

The chopsticks in Yun Xi's hand fell to the ground with a click.

Even though she had been preparing herself mentally for a long time, she still felt as if her heart had been stabbed. It hurt so much.

Xiaoqing lowered her head, not daring to look up. She carefully repeated to Yunxi the conversation she had just heard in the bamboo forest, word for word.

Yun Xi's eyes gradually turned cold.

She felt sorry for the eunuchs in the palace, who had lost their lives, and also felt sorry for the maids in the palace, who would never be able to leave the palace and marry. So after coming to the palace, she was always very kind to them.

I also thought that when I have some free time after a while, I would settle them down well. Those who are willing to leave the palace would be given money to support themselves in their old age, while those who are unwilling to leave the palace would be allowed to live out their retirement in the palace.

But she didn't expect that she would be stabbed in the back despite her love for them. Haha, how funny!

The emperor was only selecting girls from the palace, he was not divorcing her as the queen, so why should they belittle her like this?

A hint of coldness flashed across Yun Xi's eyes.

Xiao Qingtou lowered his head even lower and knelt on the ground, not daring to get up.

"Have you confirmed this news with others?" There was a barely perceptible hint of nervousness in Yun Xi's voice.

Xiaoqing choked up and nodded vigorously, saying, "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. Before I came here, I went to ask the eunuchs in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is said that the emperor wants to select beautiful women from all over the country to fill the harem. They have already started to get busy."

Yun Xi was silent for a moment, then sighed softly.

She stood up, walked to the window and looked out at the garden.

In the garden, the flowers are in full bloom, colorful and beautiful.

From now on, will the women in this palace also bloom like the flowers in the garden?

In Yun Xi's heart, she was grateful to Xiao Chenyi.

Regardless of his status as a general, a prince, or a prince, he was eligible to take concubines. But he didn't.

There has always been only one woman, Yun Xi, by his side.

Xiao Chenyi's backyard is very clean.

Gave Yun Xi great respect.

Yun Xi knew that it was normal for men in ancient times to take concubines and have mistresses, let alone the emperor.

Should she stop Xiao Chenyi from taking a concubine?

If I block it today, what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?

Xiao Chenyi listens to her now, but what about in the future?

When she is old and ugly, will Xiao Chenyi still only care about her?

Yun Xi had no mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery. She knew that the emperor's selection of concubines was a huge challenge for her.

If she didn't have two children, she would have left long ago.

But now, her son has been named the crown prince, and her daughter is the only princess.

Even for the sake of her own son and daughter, she couldn't just desert.

"Xiaoqing, you get up first." Yun Xi said, with a hint of fatigue in her voice.

Xiaoqing stood up and looked at the queen worriedly. "Your Majesty..."

Yun Xi frowned slightly and thought for a moment.

He said slowly: "Xiaoqing, don't panic. We still need to learn more about this matter. Go and find out why the emperor is selecting concubines and who is behind this."

Xiao Chenyi had never mentioned the talent show in front of her.

Logically, there is no reason for Xiao Chenyi not to tell her about such a big thing. The concubine selection must be entered into the palace, how many days can it be kept secret?

Could it be that someone in the court urged him to do so? Was it just decided today?

Or maybe Xiao Chenyi was afraid that she would be angry and sad, so he hid it from her?

Seeing Yun Xi's unhappy face, Xiao Qing replied meekly, "Don't worry, Madam. I will go and find out right away."

After saying that, Xiaoqing turned and left. She wanted to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find the manager and ask him about the whole story.

It doesn't make sense that everyone knows about it, but she and the Queen are kept in the dark. Isn't this bullying?

Yun Xi stood alone in front of the window, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

She was really confused about the future path.

"Mom, mom!" Mi Bao's anxious voice rang out outside.

Soon, the chubby Mibao rolled in hurriedly like a ball.
