The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 167 Unintentional intervention

When Xue Qingyin went to the Queen Mother's Palace, she was already feeling very tired.

The servants carrying rewards and boxes gradually started to form a team.

Walking in the palace, it is really eye-catching.

"Princess." The palace maid who followed the carriage handed her a handkerchief.

"Huh?" Xue Qingyin turned her head.

"Princess wipe your sweat."

Xue Qingyin said lazily: "What are you wiping? No wiping."

Her hair was wet with sweat and stuck to the edge of her forehead. Her lipstick was thickly applied and it was inevitable that it would become dry now, so that Xue Qingyin looked like that unshakable flower.

Really embarrassed.

To meet the Queen Mother, it would naturally seem a bit rude to behave like this.

But Xue Qingyin didn't care.

Arrived in front of the door.

The palace people naturally saw this procession: "But Princess Xuan?"

Xue Qingyin nodded wilfully and said: "I came to the palace today to thank you, so I came to see the Queen Mother before I left the capital."

The palace people now don't know whether the child in Xue Qingyin's belly is safe, so how can they dare to neglect it?

He quickly turned around and reported.

Not long after, the palace maid Wanxia came to fetch her.

Xue Qingyin tilted her head and smiled: "I remember you, sister Wanxia, ​​right?"

Wanxia was a little embarrassed when she met Xue Qingyin.

After all, she had previously received orders from the Queen Mother and had gone out of the palace to make some arrangements and dig a hole for the Xu family.

Although the Queen Mother herself fell into the pit in the end.

"Yes... I'm a slave. I didn't expect the princess to still remember." Wanxia looked away.

"Well, at that palace banquet, you behaved appropriately and appropriately, which impressed me deeply." Xue Qingyin still smiled slightly.

Wanxia felt even more ashamed and buried her head lower.

Others in the Queen Mother's Palace looked at Xue Qingyin's figure and couldn't help but secretly sigh, this is such a stupid beauty...

Did she have no idea about the contempt and dissatisfaction towards her in the Queen Mother's Palace?

"Idiot Beauty" Xue Qingyin just stepped into the palace door.

The last time I met the Queen Mother was when she just entered Prince Xuan's Mansion. See you again today...

The wrinkles on the Queen Mother's face seemed to have increased overnight.

She leaned on her seat and stared coldly at Xue Qingyin's crown.

Then his eyes slid down and fell on the patterns embroidered on her clothes.

"Your Majesty is... willing to do so." The Queen Mother suppressed the sneer in her throat.

Xue Qingyin blinked slightly, pretending she didn't understand.

The Queen Mother's eyes soon fell on her belly again, and she suddenly became much kinder and gentler.

It was so gentle that it even made Xue Qingyin a little creepy.

If you don’t know, you still think your cub is here...

"How is the Ai family's grandson?" asked the Queen Mother.

Xue Qingyin's heart was still empty.

The person who answered the Queen Mother's words was Wu Shaojian. He said: "The imperial doctor said, you must take good care of it."

The Queen Mother did not let go of her worries after hearing this: "If there is poison in the fetus, I'm afraid..."

Having said this, the Queen Mother became even more dissatisfied with Xue Qingyin.

Isn’t Xue Qingyin herself a person with poison in her womb?

Why do you still carry one and pass it on?

"What does the Queen Mother mean..." Wu Shaojian asked aloud.

The Queen Mother naturally hopes that King Xuan will have a few more, and it would be best if they all get pregnant. Isn't that better than this?

But she must not say this right now.

"The Ai family only hopes that Princess Xuan's pregnancy will be safe." The Queen Mother whispered.

After learning that Xue Qingyin was poisoned, the Queen Mother was tortured so much that she could not sleep for several days.

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she asked: "When will you go to the fiefdom?"

"We will set off soon." Xue Qingyin replied.

The Queen Mother's face changed slightly: "Why didn't the Emperor consider whether Princess Xuan's body could bear it?"

Xue Qingyin timidly said: "Your Highness... Your Highness wants to take me away as soon as possible."

The Queen Mother rubbed her forehead and stopped talking for a moment.

"This makes him very sad... whatever." The Queen Mother thought that there would be more children in the future.

Wouldn't it be better to go to the fiefdom and escape the emperor's control?

There is no need to be wary of the emperor's attacks.

The Queen Mother then managed to force out a smile: "Okay, then you go."

Xue Qingyin's buttocks sat firmly there without getting up.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but take another look at her, and noticed that she looked embarrassed and looked even more fragile as she sat in a chair.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to accompany your Highness to the fiefdom?" The Queen Mother frowned.

Xue Qingyin shook her head: "I just feel sorry for Your Highness, and...I don't know who to tell."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother suddenly felt happy.

Apparently King Xuan told her something... that the Queen Mother was the closest and most trustworthy person?

"The Ai family also feels sorry for him..." At this point, the Queen Mother felt that her heart was about to break.

She pondered for a moment and said: "Go to the Ai family's private treasury and get some gold and silver..."

She originally wanted to write Feng Yi's edict and order the emperor to double the reward, so that they would have no worries on the road.

Nai He planned the Xu family's sale of official positions, which caused her to become estranged from the emperor recently. The emperor deprived her of her rights overtly and covertly, and handed them over to the idiot Concubine Dong Xian!

Since she could not issue an edict to the emperor...the Queen Mother was reluctant to let King Xuan suffer.

She frowned and said, "Bring me some paper and pen again. The Ai family wants to write a warrant."

The Queen Mother's hands were already shaking a little, but she still insisted on finishing writing the warrant.

Then he raised his head and did not shy away from Shaojian Wu, saying: "You go from Jialing Road to Hanzhong and pass by Xingzhou. When you get to Xingzhou, stay for two days... There is a man in Xingzhou named Qian Zixu. He owes me a lot of money. Take the eight hundred thousand taels of silver from him and take them to Yizhou."

Xue Qingyin:?

Are you asking us to collect debts on our own?

When it arrives, it will be ours.

Otherwise, it’s all in vain?

Who in this world dares to owe money to the royal family?

Presumably this Qian Zixu is not an ordinary person.

But eight hundred thousand taels is indeed not a small amount.

There is a saying that is so ironic, "Three years to clear the prefecture, and one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver."

This does not mean that officials are truly honest, but that officials who claim to be honest are also squeezing the people's wealth and support. Therefore, in just three years, they can accumulate a net worth of 100,000 yuan.

Although the dynasties are different and the price of silver is also different, the difference is generally not too big.

Eight hundred thousand taels, even a corrupt official has to work hard for twenty years.

Xue Qingyin secretly smacked her lips, this is really... To say that the Queen Mother is generous, that is really stingy. Saying that she picked it was a great good deed.

If he didn't get the 800,000 yuan... Xue Qingyin felt that she would regret slapping herself in the face every time she dreamed about it at midnight for decades to come.

Xue Qingyin took the warrant and left.

The Queen Mother also knew that she was in poor health and did not dare to keep her.

But when she left, someone brought her more ginseng.

In this way, it is really a fruitful experience.

Being able to turn oneself into a rich woman by relying on such a miserable thing as going to a fiefdom...

This is also the first time I see Shaojian Wu!

"That's it, no need to send it off." Xue Qingyin turned around and smiled.

Wu Shaojian nodded. He stood at the entrance of the palace and watched Xue Qingyin get off the carriage.

The carriage stopped in front of him, and a hand with sharp bones stretched out, lifted the curtain, and grabbed Xue Qingyin inside.

Wu Shaojian secretly laughed, knowing that His Highness Prince Xuan would not let her out of sight for too long.

Wu Shaojian turned around and quickened his pace back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Why have you been here for so long?" Emperor Liang De asked when he saw him coming in and put down the ink pen in his hand.

Upon hearing the tone, Wu Shaojian knew that the emperor was not angry, but just curious.

"Princess Xuan really went to some places today..."

"oh?"

"After leaving you, I went to the Concubine Xian, then to the East Palace, and finally to the Queen Mother's Palace..."

Wu Shaojian didn't hide a word, and roughly described Xue Qingyin's conversation and other people's reactions.

"I guessed early in the morning that she would go to Qiufeng, but she is so merciless and dares to accept anyone. Without King Xuan and me to accompany her, she even dared to go to the Queen Mother... It was actually beyond my expectation." Emperor Liang De When he said this, his expression was very complicated.

Wu Shaojian nodded with deep understanding.

Not just anyone can do this!

"She is afraid of suffering a little bit..." Emperor Liang De shook his head and asked, "Is the prince very angry?"

Shaojian Wu nodded.

Emperor Liang De laughed out loud and said: "It's a pity that she is not my daughter. Otherwise, if she stayed in the palace, I would have to hear so many funny things every day."

Wu Shaojian was startled for a moment and thought to himself, if she were a princess, her life might not be as good as this...

But this idea was too rebellious and was quickly suppressed by Wu Shaojian.

Emperor Liang De quickly suppressed his smile and said, "There are no furnishings in Concubine Xian's palace?"

"yes."

"I'm afraid she doesn't have many private rooms."

"I guess so."

"Well, even if you can still give gold and silver to Princess Xuan... you are still a pure and kind person." Emperor Liang De paused and said, "You can think of a reason to reward the virtuous concubine."

Wu Shaojian nodded happily and said, "Yes, yes, I will go and prepare now."

Emperor Liang De took up the main pen, lowered his head and drew a few circles, and then said: "Let's go to Concubine Xian's palace tonight and send an order to her palace to prepare early."

Shaojian Wu nodded.

Does Princess Xindaoxuan do this unintentionally?

Or maybe... you just want to achieve something?

Concubine Dong Xian's palace attendants had already sent away the seventh prince and the ninth princess.

Turning around, a palace attendant said: "Why are you so generous today? Your entire family fortune has been given to Princess Xuan."

They have never had any friendship before, so why bother?

Some palace people still thought secretly in their hearts.

They have endured hardships with Concubine Xian for many years, and now when they are promoted, they are not rewarded first, but Concubine Xuan is given an advantage first!

"Yes, empress. I know that when you sit in this position, you are afraid that you are not good enough and want to please everyone. But now that you are in charge of the Sixth Palace, why should you try to please others? Then Princess Xuan has seen it. You, you are still her elder."

Concubine Dong Xian was about to say something when she heard a loud voice from outside: "Your Majesty has a reward!"

The palace people were stunned for a moment, and then they all jumped up.

"Empress, hurry up and accept the reward!"

Another unfamiliar-looking chambermaid came in.

He conveyed His Majesty's oral instructions in a precise manner, and ordered people to carry the rewards through the door.

The palace people watched as the young chamberlains came in carrying lacquer trays.

On the lacquer plate, there are various rewards.

There are gauze and silk, gold and silver, jewelry, rouge and gouache...

Has the virtuous concubine ever received such a reward?

Even when she was promoted to a virtuous concubine, she just followed the rules.

Their good days have indeed come!

The palace people were very excited, and then they heard the eunuch close the gift list and said with a smile: "Madam, please prepare early, the emperor will come later."

This made the palace people even more happy.

What are they relying on? It is whether the madam will be favored by the emperor...

Dong Xianfei was also a little excited, but she soon calmed down and watched the eunuchs walk away.

Then she turned around and said: "The one who accompanied Princess Xuan today is Wu Shaojian who serves in front of the emperor."

The palace people have not yet completely recovered from their ecstasy, and they only asked blankly: "Yes, why did the madam say this? Today, we were very polite to Wu Shaojian."

"What he heard is equivalent to what the emperor heard." Dong Xianfei whispered.

The palace people were stunned.

What does this mean?

Xue Qingyin on the other side turned her head and said to King Xuan: "I did a lot of good things for your highness today..."

She is so kind and a good person.

It's not justifiable if she doesn't live to be 300 years old!
