Selling wife for fame? Kick out the scumbag and marry the new emperor to enjoy the harem of favors

Chapter 15 Concubine Wei

"Hello, Concubine."

Xie Jiu bowed politely.

Concubine Wei was tall and slender, with an oval face, phoenix eyes, a turned-up nose and thin lips.

But unlike Zhao Xingjin's phoenix eyes, Wei Jieyu has single eyelids, so compared to Zhao Xingjin's romantic and affectionate eyes, Wei Jieyu's temperament seems to be a little colder.

Beauty is naturally beautiful, but it makes people feel a little aloof and sharp, and not very approachable.

As expected, Concubine Wei glanced at Xie Jiu, then raised her chin slightly and said, "I won't accept any unclear gifts."

After he finished speaking, he moved aside, as if he was avoiding something dirty.

Although he had never seen Xie Jiu, he could tell with a little recognition that Xie Jiu was not a concubine in the harem, so her identity was very clear.

After all, Xie Jiu has been living in Chengming Palace for the past few days, and everyone in the court and the harem knows about it.

Faced with such impoliteness, Xie Jiu was not annoyed, but just said calmly.

"The Concubine does not accept my courtesy, but I cannot forget the rules. I am sorry to bother you, and I will take my leave."

Too lazy to bother.

These words were no longer stimulating to Xie Jiu.

Now she knew exactly what she wanted.

Just focus on what's important, the rest is irrelevant.

But Concubine Wei was not so calm. Seeing Xie Jiu's indifferent look, she couldn't help but ask back.

"Rules? You still know the rules and etiquette? And yet you knowingly break them and do such shameless things!"

"I don't understand what you are saying, Concubine." Xie Jiu turned to look at her, his eyes still calm, "Please explain clearly, Concubine."

Wei Jieyu's face was tinged with anger. "Why are you pretending to be stupid? Are you too brave to take responsibility for what you did? You are so hypocritical and disgusting!"

After he finished speaking, he took a step forward and stared at Xie Jiu, as if questioning and scolding him.

"As a wife, you are entangled with a man outside your family. As the family of a foreign minister, you stay in Chengming Palace. Apart from other things, these two things are already against etiquette and are not decent. After all, you come from a well-known family of scholars. I wonder where you learned the etiquette, righteousness, and shame!"

"The Emperor ordered me to be the princess's tutor, so I am staying in the palace. This residence was also chosen by the Emperor. If the Concubine is dissatisfied, you can go and tell the Emperor. There is really no need to waste time arguing with me here."

Even though the other party's words were somewhat harsh, Xie Jiu remained calm, and when he said this, there was a slight smile on his lips.

"The idea of ​​being involved with a man outside your family is completely unfounded. Could it be that the Concubine witnessed this lady doing something inappropriate with someone?"

When she said this, Concubine Wei was speechless for a moment.

Even though she was very angry at the moment, Concubine Wei was still rational. Naturally, she would not do the same as Concubine Zhuang and point out Zhao Xingjin's faults.

Seeing that Concubine Wei had nothing to say, Xie Jiu bowed calmly again.

"I will not disturb you from admiring the lotus. It's hot, you should go back to a cooler place to rest early to avoid getting too hot."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Concubine Wei looked at her back and her face immediately turned red.

"Shameless, cunning, and hypocritical, she's just like her father! How can such a woman with such bad character, who seduces the master, be allowed to stay in the palace? She will definitely be a disaster in the future!"

"Please calm down, Concubine. Don't get yourself hurt by anger. People like Xie will have their own retribution." The personal maid Nian Ci advised.

Concubine Wei took a deep breath to calm herself down a little, and then spoke in a serious voice.

"As a concubine, it is my duty to advise the Emperor, but the Emperor may not listen to me. No, I will send a message to my father and ask him to persuade the Emperor that he must not get involved with a woman like this!"

If it were someone else, perhaps they would say this to vent personal anger, but Concubine Wei really thought so.

In her opinion, it was normal for Zhao Xingjin, as an emperor, to have three palaces and six courtyards, but these concubines should all have clean backgrounds, abide by the rules, and be dignified and polite. A woman like Xie Jiu, who disregarded etiquette and had no moral integrity and shamelessness, absolutely could not serve the emperor.

In the future, if evil words confuse people and make Zhao Xingjin lose his clarity of mind, it will be a great disaster for the country.

When she said this, Nianci felt helpless.

My master is good in every way except that he reads too much and has become too rigid.

If she were a man, it would be quite appropriate for her to serve as an imperial censor in the previous dynasty, but the problem is that Concubine Wei is now an empress.

Which emperor likes the women around him? All he talks about is the same rhetoric as those old censors.

If Wei Zhang had not been highly trusted by the Emperor, given Concubine Wei's personality, she would probably have been left out in the cold as soon as she entered the palace.

In fact, even now, Concubine Wei herself can feel that Zhao Xingjin does not favor her, but only gives her some face for the sake of his father.

But she was stubborn. Zhao Xingjin would not listen to her, but he would definitely listen to her father Wei Zhang. Even if it was a roundabout way, she would still give him advice.

After all, Concubine Wei entered the palace with the real intention of becoming a virtuous concubine.

However, Xie Jiu didn't care how Concubine Wei kept biting her, and now she had returned to Chengming Palace leisurely.

Zhao Xingjin is not here.

He probably would not come back until he had lunch after visiting the Queen, so after Xie Jiu gave the ice cream cheese he brought back from Princess Wenxi to Qing Dong, he went back to the side hall to rest.

It’s so hot today, it’s really tiring to go out.

After Chunrong closed the door, she took a round fan and stood beside to fan herself.

While fanning himself, he couldn't help but say.

"Concubine Wei's words are too harsh."

Now that there were no outsiders around, Chunrong really couldn't hold it in any longer.

"I'm afraid there will be more and more cases like this in the future." Xie Jiu looked unconcerned and soothed him, "If we all take each of them seriously, won't we be exhausted to death?"

After hearing this, Chunrong couldn't help but sigh. Qingfang's unhappiness was directly written on her face. She pouted and looked indignant for Xie Jiu.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. I'll take you to do something interesting, okay?" Xie Jiu winked at the two of them.

Qingfang was puzzled. "The rules in this palace are so strict. What can we do?"

"Yes, the palace has strict rules and living here is not comfortable enough. Moreover, what Concubine Wei said today reminded me that it is not appropriate to live in Chengming Palace all the time."

Xie Jiu's lips curled up slightly.

"So I think it's time for me to go back to the Marquis' Mansion."

"Go back?" Qingfang opened her eyes wide.

Although she knew that Xie Jiu's current status was inconvenient and it was impossible for him to stay in the palace for a long time, Qingfang also thought that he had to wait for the emperor's order to leave the palace. Now that Xie Jiu took the initiative to say that he wanted to go back, Qingfang was a little surprised.

"Of course I have to go back." Xie Jiu bent his fingers and tapped the table lightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had thought of something interesting. "Calculating the time, it's time to go back and watch a good show."

If Zhao Xingjin were to investigate corruption, he should have ended up investigating Wu Que.

She had to go back and collect her dowry, otherwise her money would end up in Zhao Xingjin's pocket.

After lunch, Zhao Xingjin still hadn't returned.

It was boring to just wait, so Xie Jiu took a book and leaned on the chaise longue to pass the time.

I didn't expect that I would feel so sleepy in the afternoon that I fell asleep.

Just about half an hour after she fell asleep, Zhao Xingjin came back.
