My emperor loves thin waist

Chapter 131

The new exam was approaching, Xia Yuanzhi, who was appointed by his grandfather as the examiner, was called into the palace early in the morning, and reported to Zhao Hongyou about the exam in detail in the imperial study, before retiring and leaving.

Zhao Hongyou looked at the back of him leaving, but then lowered his head for a moment, and appointed Xia Bowen as the examiner. In fact, it was because there was such a sober and sensible Xia Yuanzhi beside him. Choose for him the man who pleases him.

After leaving the imperial study, Xia Yuanzhi walked towards the palace gate without looking sideways.

"Eldest Young Master!" Someone seemed to be calling him from behind, he subconsciously stopped, turned around and saw that it was Mo Xiang, the handmaiden next to Xia Xinya's younger sister who is now the concubine Qing.

He frowned unconsciously, and asked with a downcast face, "You are not serving the empress in the palace, what is the purpose of coming here? This is not the place you should come!"

Mo Xiang shrank her neck, and said in a low voice, "Eldest young master, this servant is following your mother's order, and I specially invite the young master to come and see you."

"Even if you are close relatives, now your identities are different. I am only a foreign minister, so how can I have private contact with the female family members of the deep palace." Xia Yuanzhi said expressionlessly.

Mo Xiang opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but in the end he didn't dare, he could only watch him turn around again, raised his legs and wanted to leave.

"Brother, is this going to see my sister again?" The soft female voice filled with infinite resentment stopped Xia Yuanzhi who was about to leave.

Concubine Qing stared fixedly at her biological elder brother who was still turning her back and refused to look back at her, tears of bitterness dripped down her face, and she called out in a choked voice, "Brother..."

Do you really want to see her and pay attention to her elder brother who loved her and doted on her since she was a child?

Xia Yuanzhi closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then suddenly turned around and saluted her respectfully, "Chen Xia Yuanzhi will see the imperial concubine Qing, and the empress is blessed and safe!"

Concubine Qing looked at him with her mouth covered with tears, her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't say a word.

Xia Yuanzhi's eyes fell on the embroidered shoes facing him, and there was a faint cry in his ears, and his heart felt uncomfortable and sad.This is his only sister, a well-behaved and obedient sister since childhood, why did the two of them, brother and sister, come to this point?But thinking of the eldest sister who died young, he suddenly hardened his heart again, and his tone became more respectful, "If there is nothing wrong with your mother, I will leave first!"

Seeing that her elder brother really turned around and left, Concubine Qing was in a hurry. She didn't care about anything else. She walked up a few steps and pulled Xia Yuanzhi's sleeve, "Brother, do you really care about my sister's life? In your heart, my sister Is it really that unforgivable?"

Xia Yuanzhi was silent for a moment, and finally pushed her hand away cruelly, "You are no longer a young and ignorant child, everyone should be responsible for their own choices, since you chose this path back then, then You should know what's going to happen."

After a pause, I finally felt unbearable, and then said in a low voice, "The emperor is a benevolent king, if you keep your duty, he will definitely keep you safe and sound for the rest of your life. This is all I have said, empress, you... do it yourself! "

After saying that, she didn't want to turn her head back anymore, so she quickened her pace and disappeared in front of Concubine Qing.

"Brother..." Looking at her brother's determined back, Concubine Qing finally couldn't help crying.

What happened here was soon reported to Zhao Hongyou. He just gave a faint 'hmm' and continued to review the memorial with his head down.Xia Yuanzhi is smart, he knows what he can do and what he can't do, and it is because the Xia family has him that he can relax a little bit.

As for Concubine Qing...the tip of the pen paused for a moment, but continued to wave the pen as if nothing had happened for a moment.

No matter what, Su Qinwan would never have imagined that she would come out to hang out for a while, and meet Concubine Xia Qing who had been staying behind closed doors.Looking over inadvertently, I felt that something was wrong with the other party, but I couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while.

"Meet your empress!" She never gets too entangled in matters that are not her own. Yili met Concubine Xia Qing, but heard the other party's cold tone, "You are very proud? Looking at the current appearance of this palace, Are you proud of yourself?"

Su Qinwan only felt inexplicable, and retorted, "What does the empress have to do with the concubine? Why should the concubine be proud?"

"Your majesty is just greedy for novelty for a while. With your unappealing and charming face, how long do you think you can dominate the emperor?" Maybe it was her elder brother's attitude that hit her, or seeing the person she hated the most in her life. Concubine Qing had already lost her usual calmness, her eyes were full of resentment and coldness.

Su Qinwan met her eyes calmly, and after a while, she smiled, her voice was as delicate and sweet as ever, "If the emperor likes it, that is the blessing of a concubine. As for occupying, the emperor is a sage, and he is the hero of the world. How can it be controlled by a woman?"

Without waiting for Concubine Qing to react, she stepped forward and moved closer to her, lowering her voice extremely low, but what she said pierced into Concubine Qing's heart like a knife, "Isn't it better to admit defeat gracefully if you lose? Why bother?" Barking around like a bereaved dog, if you can't suppress me that day, then you will never have another chance in this lifetime!"

She remembered everything that happened that day when she was besieged. Although Chunqian saved her life in that collision, she suffered from a headache. Although the girl was usually heartless, she clearly understood I can feel that her temper has been much quieter.

She knew that she was blaming herself, blaming herself for not being smart enough, so that she was framed and almost hurt her master.Competing for favor is what she wants to fight for, and she should accept any kind of attack she will face in the future, but she will not allow anyone to hurt the people around her, especially that Chunqian who is only for her.

"You!" Concubine Qing stared at her angrily, with murderous look in her eyes.

Su Qinwan was not afraid. Since she already knew that she could not coexist peacefully, it was even less likely that she would back down.In a place like the harem, there is never the possibility of taking a step back. As long as you bend down, there will be people stepping on your back and stepping on your head.

She gently straightened the slightly crooked phoenix hairpin for Concubine Qing, and she was not annoyed when the other party slapped her hand away in disgust, with a faint smile on her face, but her eyes were full of provocation.

"It's beyond self-control. Do you think you can climb to the top of this palace just by relying on the emperor's short-term favor? No matter how bad this palace is, there is the entire Taifu's mansion behind you. You should pray that you will not fall out of favor in your life. , otherwise, you must try this palace's methods!" Concubine Qing said cruelly with a cold face.
