The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 134 Who is better at turning black into white

"Who are you going to complain about today?" Emperor Liang De called Xue Qingyin to his side and asked directly.

"In my father's mind, am I only good at complaining?" Xue Qingyin was dissatisfied.

"What else can I do?"

"To accompany my father for dinner."

"..."

"Who did you invite today?"

"The fourth princess."

When Emperor Liang De heard this, his face was full of as expected.

But he was still a little curious: "Why do you always want to invite the fourth princess to come? I remember that you and Princess Jinque are also somewhat close. Why not invite Princess Jinque?"

Xue Qingyin said: "No hurry, come one by one."

Emperor Liang De: "...""From what you said, it seems that you want to come to the palace to accompany me for dinner all the time?"

Xue Qingyin nodded: "My father doesn't need me to accompany him, so it's better for me to accompany my father."

"There's a reward for accompanying me, right?" Emperor Liang De laughed angrily.

How could he not have realized that she was such a person when they were in Furong Garden?

When he ran into her and King Xuan in Qingsi Palace, she looked very timid...

"I haven't spent all the money that my father gave me last time."

The implication was that she was not in a hurry to get the reward today.

Not long after, the fourth princess arrived.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Emperor Liang De ordered the meal to be served.

The three of them sat together, and there was really a peaceful family atmosphere.

"I heard that you sent something to King Xuan?" Emperor Liang De suddenly spoke.

Xue Qingyin nodded and asked Emperor Liang De: "Does your father also want to send something to King Xuan?"

Emperor Liang De smiled and said: "I gave him soldiers and food, and gave him the power of life and death. Isn't it enough?"

The fourth princess wanted to tremble when she heard this.

But Xue Qingyin replied easily: "It's different. That was given to him by His Majesty the Emperor. His father didn't give it to him."

After that, Xue Qingyin brought out the sense of ritual she had said to King Xuan last time and brainwashed Emperor Liang De again.

"Even if he is a close person, you have to let him know your concern. He will feel comfortable when he is away, and he will be more brave in the war." Xue Qingyin said it very logically.

Of course, she didn't know that King Xuan was really brave in the war at this moment.

But too brave.

Brave to the point that the Anxi Army cried.

"There is some truth." Emperor Liang De pondered for a moment, "Then tell me, what should I give to King Xuan?"

Xue Qingyin buried her head in eating: "This is something that my father has to worry about, why did you throw it to me?"

Emperor Liang De smiled helplessly.

But talking with Xue Qingyin, it really felt much easier. It was like ordinary people sitting together and chatting.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Wan wants to see you." The voice of the eunuch outside suddenly sounded, disturbing the atmosphere in the room.

Emperor Liang De said in a light tone: "What's the matter? I don't know if I'm having a meal?"

"Concubine Wan said she wanted to see you for an urgent matter."

The four princesses turned their heads in confusion. When she left, Concubine Wan didn't say she wanted to come to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Wait...

The four princesses said timidly: "Today, Concubine Wei came to greet Concubine Wan, but she came very late. It's different from the past..."

Emperor Liang De frowned, but soon calmed down.

He glanced at Xue Qingyin.

Xue Qingyin's face was full of innocence.

"If you are right, Concubine Wei will report you..."

When Emperor Liang De said this, a little coldness flashed across his eyes.

That would be a slap in the emperor's face.

After all, he had just taught Xue Qingyin that sisters-in-law should be close to each other and should not fight, and she should not think badly of others.

"Send it in." Emperor Liang De said.

"Yes."

It wasn't long before Concubine Wan brought Liu Yuerong in.

Xue Qingyin was still sitting there obediently, with her head down and chopsticks in her hand.

...Still eating.

Emperor Liang De glanced at her and felt a little amused.

She wasn't afraid at all.

...Do you trust me so much?

"Your Majesty."

"Greetings, Father."

Concubine Wan and Princess Wei bowed one after another.

But when she raised her head, a flash of surprise flashed across Concubine Wan's eyes.

Xue Qingyin... is here too? !

And the fourth princess... Concubine Wan frowned secretly. No wonder the wind direction in the palace has changed recently. It turned out that the fourth princess had somehow become close to the emperor again.

Liu Yuerong was also surprised.

It was difficult to say some things when confronting in court. But think on the bright side... If Xue Qingyin panics a little later, Qing will be waiting for her to beat the fallen dog!

"Why? Are you bringing the Princess of Wei to greet me?" Emperor Liang De smiled gently.

When the four princesses saw the smile on Emperor Liang De's face, their hearts were hanging.

How could the emperor treat them so gently...

This smile gave Concubine Wan and Liu Yuerong confidence.

Concubine Wan stopped wavering and bowed firmly, saying: "Your Majesty, Yuerong told me about something today. It was just a private quarrel between the younger generation. But later..."

Concubine Wan looked embarrassed and said: "Yuerong, you should tell your majesty."

Liu Yuerong nodded and walked forward.

The last time the palace held a banquet, she was singled out by Emperor Liang De and was in great glory.

Today, it was probably her second time in glory.

Liu Yuerong first told the story of the fight between the two farms and her side being beaten badly.

After saying this, she raised her peripheral vision and glanced at Emperor Liang De's expression.

Emperor Liang De was extremely calm.

"What Concubine Wan said is right, it sounds like it is just a trivial matter between juniors." Emperor Liang De said calmly.

He turned to Xue Qingyin and asked: "Does Prince Xuan's side concubine have any objection to Princess Wei's words?"

Concubine Wan pinched the handkerchief.

Just listen to Xue Qingyin say: "What she said is generally correct, it was a fight. I also know about this, someone reported it to me."

Liu Yuerong was stunned for a moment.

It’s a pleasure to recognize it! It’s good to recognize him happily.

This way I won’t be able to push it off later...

Xue Qingyin followed closely and said, "But who knew they couldn't help but fight? If you lose, do you still blame me?"

Liu Yuerong: "..."

Emperor Liang De almost laughed. She's just full of nonsense!

Concubine Wan said angrily: "Is this the upbringing of King Xuan's concubine to bully the weak?"

Xue Qingyin pouted: "She is Princess Wei, and I am just the concubine. Who is stronger and who is weaker? Of course, if she is willing to recognize me as her sister-in-law, then I am willing to recognize that I am the stronger one."

Concubine Wan: "..."

Liu Yuerong: "..."

Liu Yuerong realized that she had to make her killing move as soon as possible.

He said hurriedly: "Yes, father, my daughter-in-law is thinking that His Royal Highness King Xuan is marching away, so she shouldn't argue with King Xuan's concubine over trivial matters."

Liu Yuerong didn't notice that when she said this, Emperor Liang De's eyes turned cold.

Xue Qingyin is thick-skinned, but she combines knowledge with action.

When you are wronged, you can complain openly and honestly.

Liu Yuerong's words were both true and true.

"That day when the magistrate went to pick up someone, someone from Zhuangzi stood in front of him. He asked how the magistrate was doing recently and even asked him if he knew who he was. I don't know if this was a threat or an attempt to smooth over the matter with a personal relationship. "

Such a thing is not big.

But Liu Yuerong changed her voice and added: "Princes and nobles in the capital often use their positions of power to facilitate things. No official in the capital dares to disobey. But it actually encourages corruption."

These words touched the heart of Emperor Liang De.

As an emperor, of course he doesn't like the soft beetles under his hands.

"The concubine of Prince Xuan is the prince's bedfellow, and she also calls you 'Father'. She should take care of the father's worries first. How can she show off her power and power just because she entered Prince Xuan's palace, and then encourage unhealthy trends? That will lead to a trap." Where is King Xuan?”

These are beautifully said.

Moreover, he was smart enough to only target Xue Qingyin and not drag King Xuan into the water.

He even said something like "I will help King Xuan deal with a person who is holding him back".

Xue Qingyin couldn't help but look sideways.

I wonder if Liu Yuerong has a brain? Or did he get advice from Concubine Wan?

"I heard yesterday that the concubine used her power for personal gain and even sent things to King Xuan's camp. My daughter-in-law suddenly woke up and found out that the concubine had treated such things as eating and drinking water. What's the big deal if things go on like this? After thinking about it, Not daring to make the decision without permission, he went to the palace to pay homage to his mother and concubine."

"I am only the mother of King Wei, not the mother of His Highness King Xuan. Naturally, I cannot make the decision. So I had no choice but to come to His Majesty." Concubine Wan answered from the side.

The fourth princess was sweating now.

Only then did she feel that the methods others had used on her in the past were all nonsense.

Today, this was how he easily turned a small matter into a major event that could crush Xue Qingyin!

How terrible!

She looked at Xue Qingyin.

Well……

Xue Qingyin is still eating.

Emperor Liang De was still very calm. He turned to look at Xue Qingyin: "Do you have anything else to say?"

The fourth princess's heart tightened.

It sounds like Xue Qingyin is about to be sent to jail!

Xue Qingyin took the handkerchief from the palace maid, wiped her mouth, and said, "Then she also wants to sue her father?"

Liu Yuerong frowned: "Why did the concubine involve the father?"

Emperor Liang De showed helplessness and said: "Because I also use power for personal gain."

Liu Yuerong was stunned.

Xue Qingyin nodded and answered: "Yes, yes. I sent something to Prince Xuan, and my father will also send something to Prince Xuan soon."

So look, it would be better if you didn’t add the following paragraph.

Liu Yuerong was puzzled: "How can the reward from my father be used for personal gain?"

"Of course it's not a reward from the emperor. But what the father wants to give is just a gift as a father."

Concubine Wan frowned and said, "This is obviously nonsense. How can you be the same as His Majesty?"

"Your Majesty is King Xuan's father, and I am King Xuan's pillow. Why is it different?"

Liu Yuerong still wanted to argue again.

Concubine Wan glanced at her.

Liu Yuerong suddenly woke up: "This matter is not important... It's just those people on Zhuangzi who are trying to bribe the government..."

Xue Qingyin was actually very puzzled. She had already asked them to cooperate. Where did she stop her?

Xue Qingyin said: "Did you make it up to frame me?"

Liu Yuerong bowed and said: "My daughter-in-law does not dare to speak nonsense, please give me a warning from my father."

Emperor Liang De also felt that it was a big deal.

When Xue Qingyin filed the complaint, she just wanted to protect herself.

But they... actually want Xue Qingyin to die.

Emperor Liang De said calmly: "Did the government office accept bribes?"

Liu Yuerong wanted to lie and say yes.

But he also knew that it would be too easy to cheat, so he said honestly: "No."

"That's an attempt. If it's an attempt, what's the point of bringing it out?" Emperor Liang De said.

Concubine Wan's eyes showed surprise.

These words...are these words obviously intended to protect Xue Qingyin?

Liu Yuerong also felt unwilling.

She just said so many things, and she felt that she said them very well...

Emperor Liang De clearly disliked Xue Qingyin. He clearly refused to let her become his concubine. He clearly only took some care of her because King Xuan was away on war...

Liu Yuerong blurted out: "Then... the Xu family, the ancestral family of King Xuan's concubine, buying an official position is not nothing?"

Emperor Liang concealed the cold look in his eyes: "Oh?"

Xue Qingyin said calmly: "Princess Wei, you are too late! My father has known about this for a long time, right?"

Emperor Liang De smiled helplessly: "Yes... I don't want anyone to spread the word about this matter. Princess Wei, do you understand?"

Liu Yuerong didn't react and suddenly became excited: "Why does my father protect her like this..."

Emperor Liang De said calmly: "This matter was deliberately laid by someone in an attempt to harm King Xuan. As early as King Xuan's wedding, he reported it to me personally. What? You even want to question my words?"

Liu Yuerong's face turned pale.

What she thought was her trump card...

But actually...it's nothing?

Liu Yuerong quickly lowered her head and said, "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare."

Xue Qingyin said slowly and leisurely at this time: "Father, this matter still needs to be investigated clearly. In fact, I am also very curious about who is the person in my village who dares to bribe the government."

On the outskirts of the city, Chang Sui beside Ning Que couldn't help but sneeze.
