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

Chapter 50 Thoughts
Xie Mansion.

To show her importance, Qingfang personally went out of the palace and brought many things.

There were supplements for Xie Mingshen, and jewelry and silks for Yang.

"The Concubine said that the Master had worked hard at the court this morning. Now that the Concubine has a position in the palace, she cannot do without the Master's support. Otherwise, those imperial censors and some people who can't bear to see our Xie family doing well would really want to pull the Concubine down."

Qingfang had a smile on her face, expressing Xie Jiu's meaning.

"These things are the Concubine's little care for the Master and the Madam. Actually, it was the Emperor's intention. These supplements prepared for the Master were all taken out of the Emperor's private treasury and given to the Concubine."

Having said that, Qingfang paused, a hint of helplessness in her voice.

"Originally, the Emperor wanted to give it to you personally, but because of the gossip of those in the court, you should understand that it was not easy for the Concubine to enter the palace. It was only after the Emperor begged the Empress Dowager that it was made possible. Although the Emperor loves the Concubine, he is also concerned that the ministers in the court will react too strongly, just like today, saying that the Emperor favors the Concubine too much."

Xie Mingshen waved his hand after hearing this. "I understand what the Emperor and Concubine Jieyu mean. After all, Concubine Jieyu is a second marriage into the palace, so it's inevitable that there will be gossip. As a father, I won't say anything else, but at least I will make sure that there are fewer people who criticize Concubine Jieyu."

"The master has always been concerned about Concubine Jie, and Concubine Jie understands it in her heart." Qingfang nodded.

Then he glanced around, as if he had something private to say.

Xie Mingshen immediately understood and asked everyone else in the room to leave.

Seeing this, Qingfang stepped forward and lowered her voice, "This time when I leave the palace, I still need to ask the master to do something for the Concubine."

"Speak." Xie Mingshen said in a deep voice.

After an incense stick of time, Qingfang came out of the house and prepared to return to the palace.

Yang, who was waiting outside, stepped forward immediately and said, "Qingfang, take these into the palace and give them to Concubine Jiu."

"Madam, what are these?" Qingfang looked at the paper packages and a small bundle.

Yang looked reluctant, "These are the snacks that Concubine Jie used to love to eat. I didn't know you were coming back today, so the house didn't prepare everything. These are the only ones left. In this bundle are two sets of pajamas that I made for Concubine Jie."

"There is nothing in the palace, what are you going to do with these?" Xie Mingshen frowned.

But Qingfang still accepted them all.

"This is all from Madam's heart. I think Concubine Jie will be very happy to see it. Master, Madam, I will take my leave."

After he finished speaking, he left in a car with everyone in the Xie Mansion watching him.

Ninghua Palace, Anqing Hall.

It was already evening when Xie Jiu came back.

After Qingfang left the palace in the morning, Xie Jiu served pens and ink in Chengming Palace. She was busy for half a day and had lunch with Zhao Xingjin. In the afternoon, Zhao Xingjin continued to handle official business, and she went to Changle Palace to teach Princess Wenxi.

It's been a very tiring day.

After coming back, he leaned against the soft pillow and didn't move.

"You must be very tired, Concubine. Would you like some snacks? Dinner will not be served for a while." Qingfang said softly.

As he spoke, he brought a cup of tea.

Chunrong brought some water and helped Xie Jiu wash his hands.

"Today I went to Changle Palace. Aunt Qinlan thanked Concubine Jieyu for saving her life last time. Before she left, she specially packed a lot of snacks she made herself. Now it's just right for me to eat and fill my stomach."

"Aunt Qinlan's are from the palace. I went out of the palace to deliver something today. Madam specially prepared some of the favorite foods of the concubines in the mansion." Qingfang brought the snacks over.

Xie Jiu looked at the familiar plates of pastries, and his fatigue immediately dissipated a lot.

"Here, these are what you used to enjoy. Eat some. I can't handle all of this by myself. I'll give some away to the people outside."

In Anqing Hall, besides the three of them, the master and servant, there were also four young palace maids and two young eunuchs assigned from the palace to serve Xie Jiu. Qingfang responded, picked up two plates of snacks and took them out first, then returned to sit next to Xie Jiu and eat snacks together.

"Have you finished all the tasks assigned to you?" Xie Jiu asked.

"Don't worry, Concubine. I've explained everything clearly to Master." Qingfang nodded. "Master said this isn't difficult. You'll be able to see the results in a few days."

Hearing this, Xie Jiu smiled and said, "Given my father's methods, this is indeed not difficult for him."

After saying this, Qingfang mentioned that Yang had made two sets of pajamas for her.

He quickly brought the things to show her.

Xie Jiu felt a lump in his throat as he touched the delicate and familiar stitches.

Her mother is truly one of the few people in this world who truly loves her.

Seeing her eyes reddened slightly, Chunrong softly consoled her, "Don't be sad, Concubine. The Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet will be held in a few days. Madam will accompany Master to the palace for the banquet, and you will be able to see Madam then."

"I'm afraid at the palace banquet I can only see you from afar, and I won't have a chance to talk." Xie Jiu sighed and put his pajamas back, "Put it away."

Chunrong looked up, "Jieyu won't wear it?"

"I can't bear to wear anything my mother made." Xie Jiu narrowed his eyes.

Being in this filthy palace, she didn't want to take out such a thing that carried pure love, so she locked it up well. Taking it out and looking at it occasionally was a thought that could bring her warmth.

Chunrong took her expression in her eyes and felt bad. She silently folded the clothes and put them in the closet.

Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became a little depressing, Qingfang quickly became lively.

"Jieyu, do you still remember this plum blossom pastry? One year, you suddenly had the idea to learn how to make pastries, and you made this plum blossom pastry. Oh, the thing you made, wow, it looked delicious. I was greedy and took a bite, and the filling inside was still raw!"

Qingfang's story was so vivid that Xie Jiu was so moved that he burst out laughing.

He immediately reached out to poke Qingfang's ticklish spot.

"You stinky girl, you're still laughing at me. I missed it so much that I gave it to you first!"

"You are talking nonsense, Concubine. You clearly want to use me to 'test the poison'!" Qingfang dodged while laughing.

The master and servant were in a quarrel.

Just at this lively moment, the voice of the palace maid Ziqiao, who was beside Concubine Yi, suddenly came from outside.

"Xie Jieyu, it's time for you to learn the rules from me!"

The sound entered the house, and the master and servants immediately frowned.

Chunrong immediately stood up and went out. When she saw Ziqiao, she said directly, "It's getting late today. Concubine Jieyu has been tired all day and should rest. Besides, dinner is about to start. It's not a good time to learn the etiquette. Let's go another day."

When she said this, Zi Qiao snorted coldly and raised her eyebrows.

"Empress Yipin has already said that Concubine Xie must study the rules with me for half a month, half a day every day. If you don't have time during the day, you must make up for it at night. Otherwise, if you keep using this as an excuse, how can you still learn the rules? Today, Concubine Xie did not go to Weiyang Palace to pay her respects to the Empress, which was very impolite. It is obvious that Concubine Xie should hurry up and learn the palace rules as soon as possible."

"The Concubine never went to the Weiyang Palace to pay her respects. This was done with the Emperor's special permission. You said it was impolite. Are you saying that the Emperor doesn't know the rules?"

When Chunrong saw the other party's attitude, she knew that he was not a good person, and her face immediately darkened.

"Even if the Emperor speaks, Concubine Xie shouldn't take advantage of her favor and become arrogant, looking down on the Empress!" Zi Qiao acted like a senior maid beside the Empress. "Concubine Xie should just follow me and learn the rules, or you won't waste time and delay things any further."

Just as Zi Qiao was puffing out her chest like a fighting cock, a figure suddenly flashed out of the house, rushed to her, raised his hand and slapped her in the face.

"Snapped--"
