daughter in power

Chapter 235 Advise Concubine
Dongfang Xiu has completely become a tutor.

And he is also a Qingshui Taifu.

Xia Xi didn't take much care of the Taifu, and most of the time, the Taifu had to pay for it out of his own pocket to educate the prince.

However, Dongfang Xiu was very happy to do it.

Outsiders only say that he dotes on his adopted son and is reluctant to part with Bing'er, that's why he chooses to be a tutor.

He never explained and argued.

In fact, outsiders can't think long-term like him.

The scholar also became a tutor, and he gradually got closer to Dongfang Xiu on weekdays, and the relationship was pretty good.

On weekdays, Bing'er attends classes with these two people, and shoots arrows together with Wei Yong and others, living a fulfilling and rapid life.

In a blink of an eye, Bing'er was nine years old.

In the Great Xia Kingdom, when a child turns nine, nineteen, twenty... it's a big day.

In order to celebrate the child's birthday, Xia Xi also made a decree, asking the Ministry of Rites to prepare rich celebration activities and have fun with the people.

The Ministry of Rites complied.

Up and down the Great Xia Kingdom, there was laughter and laughter.

Various congratulations also began in the court.

Some people give gifts, some give money, some give books... There are all kinds of things, it doesn't matter.

Xia Xi only opened one eye and closed the other, pretending she didn't see it.

As the child grows up, he needs to have independent judgment.

What kind of people should be friends with, and what kind of people should not be friends with, Bing'er should know very well.

Qi Qi watched coldly, watching Xia Xi's stocking mode, and did not object.

On the other hand, the scholar and Dongfang Xiu have bothered a lot in the past few days.

It was exhausting.

On June [-]th, Xia Xi stopped the court and invited all the courtiers to drink and have fun in the imperial garden.

He also invited many men and women of the same age as Bing'er in the court to play in the imperial garden.

It doesn't matter what they play, they probably just want to find a partner for Bing'er.

The courtiers responded enthusiastically and joined in the ceremony.

Many people wrote a poem to Binger on the spot at the banquet, just to show off their literary talents.

There are also many people who dance swords and flute, are both civil and military, and envy others.

Bing'er was very excited and was very satisfied with the birthday party.

Qi Qi was delayed due to some things, when they arrived at the banquet, everyone had already started the banquet for a while.

Bing'er was paying attention, she didn't bother him, and quietly walked to Xia Xi's side.

But it still attracted all the courtiers to salute one after another.

She is a queen, and it is difficult to keep a low profile.

Her identity has already destined her to become the focus of the world.

Everywhere you go, people are watching and worshiping closely.

She nodded embarrassingly, still sitting beside Xia Xi, looking up at the courtier's performance.

After watching three or five projects in a row, she was a bit suspected of trying to gain fame, so she lost her energy and lowered her head to drink tea.

Xia Xi asked: "Why did you come here?"

Smiling slightly: "I have prepared a small gift as a surprise for my son."

The voice fell, but there was a lot of discussion in the audience, and the voice was quite loud.

She was startled, and raised her head, just in time to see Chang Hun Hou standing in the middle of the hall with a smile on his face.

There are quite a lot of places for banquets in the Imperial Garden, and the place Xia Xi chose was called Cuiwei Pavilion, which is very suitable for its spacious terrain and luxurious palaces.

Marquis Changhun stood in the empty hall, especially abruptly.

The others were silent for a while.

Xia Xi's eyes were cold: "Does Marquis Changhun also want to perform a sword dance?"

Marquis Changhun has no real power, and he is amiable and amiable on weekdays, never being an enemy of others.

He is the adoptive father of Princess Shuang'er.

Now, Princess Shuang'er is foolish and foolish, living in the palace.It seems that someone is waiting for you, and you are doing well.It's a pity that it is quite different from the previous one.

No one knows what Changhunhou thinks in his heart.

After Xia Xi's questioning, Chang Hunhou's face changed slightly, he still smiled and raised his head, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the others are both civil and military, and they are talented. The minister is a waste material who can't write and martial arts. Really. If you want to play with words like them, I will only be ashamed."

Qiqi's eyes flashed, and she really wanted to hear what he had to say next.

Chang Hunhou was not afraid, and smiled and said: "There is a character here, dancing and writing is a piece of cake, playing the qin and playing the zither is a unique skill, and both singing and dancing are really talented."

In a word, it successfully mobilized everyone's interest.

Xia Xi didn't make a sound.

But everyone knows that he likes to play the piano.

He has a Tanabata Guqin, which he got from Yu Kingdom and given to the Empress early on, and he still plays it often.

As for the song, when he got married, he sang the ancient repertoire himself, which moved the queen's face.

Therefore, the dance and piano stage must be his favorite.

Qiqi didn't know what Changhunhou was going to do when he found such a person.

However, she could not refute in public.

She is a queen, her tolerance is deeper than the sea and higher than the mountains.

Xia Xi didn't refute either, she just glanced at Chang Hunhou coldly and nodded.

In an instant, a deep piano sound resounded outside the main hall, and melodiously spread into the hall, making everyone look up.

Outside the 24 Linghua windows, colorful boats come slowly from the distant smoke waves, moving against the wind.

A young masked woman was standing at the bow of the boat against the wind.

Under her hand is an antique Qintai.

The sound of the piano is not much worse than that of the Qixi Guqin.

It is also a peerless piano.

She is slender, three points thinner than Qi Qi, making her slender waist even more apparent.

She is tall and tall, three points taller than Qiqi, which makes her more graceful.

And because she covered her face, people couldn't see her face clearly, which added three points of magic power.

"Boom..."

There was another zither sound, which suddenly rose to a higher level, creating a layer of clear waves.

It caused everyone to be surprised, and then sank into her tune for a moment.

Her qin is indeed a must.

The colorful boat approached slowly.

The people in the temple are obviously crazy.

Xia Xi's eyes were empty, and it was difficult for others to see what was in his mind.

Qiqi's face was calm, and she couldn't see any expression.

Bing'er stood up suddenly and said displeasedly: "Take that woman down."

His hand pointed out the window, it was the people on the colorful boat.

His voice was also cold.

Everyone was startled, as if they only realized where they were at this time, they hurriedly bowed their heads in response.

Chang Hunhou said: "His Royal Highness... This beauty is proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she just happens to be your master?"

Bing'er sneered: "This crown prince is an imposing man, and the future monarch of the Great Xia Kingdom needs this woman to be a grand tutor?"

He turned his head and looked at Qiqi: "In terms of beauty, she is not half as good as my mother's, and in terms of six arts, she is not as good as my mother's. The mother's queen is the sun and the moon, and she is only worthy of being a firefly. If the prince really wants to learn, why not follow his mother and learn to be better?" For superb?"

Bing'er's words were full of momentum, majestic and intimidating.

It seems that he already has the dignity of a prince of a country.

Qiqi didn't expect him to say that suddenly.

Not to mention Qiqi, even the people in the hall did not expect him to react like this.

The prince is already nine years old, it should be the age to appreciate beauty.

The hall is empty and no one speaks.

Because I don't know what to say.

Outside the window, the beauty playing the piano didn't hear Bing'er's words, and continued to play the piano.

Bing'er frowned angrily: "Tell her to stop."

This time it was quite loud.

Immediately, a guard ran out of the palace, calling the beauties on board to stop all activities.

There was silence again all around.

Bing'er smiled slightly, and exhaled: "Finally, the roots of my ears are clean, and there is no more magic sound around my ears."

Others looked at each other in blank dismay, and Chang Hunhou tentatively said, "His Royal Highness, this..."

Xia Xi said: "If the prince doesn't like it, it must be bad. Let's go."

He waved his hand and ordered Chang Hun Hou to lead the people back.

Marquis Changhun refused to leave, but suddenly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty..."

When I heard it, I was extremely sad, as if I lost my concubine.

The people in the hall all looked sideways, guessing a lot for a while.

Marquis Changhun still lowered his head: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is already nine years old, and the queen's mother has been in the world for several years. I dare to say that I have never seen a newcomer in the harem until now. The queen controls the harem, has she never considered your feelings? Is it?"

His voice was so loud that the whole hall was buzzing.

Someone stood up and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, what the Marquis of Changhun said is very true. The empress has been favored by the empress for several years. Now that the prince is old and the empress is also old, do you want to continue to occupy your favor and refuse to add concubines to you?" A concubine?"

Another voice echoed: "Da Xiazi, should be the 72 concubines of the Sangong and Six Courtyards. There are 3000 beauties in the harem, the emperor's rain and dew are all covered, and the heirs are prosperous. Now only the empress is favored, and the prince is the heir. The minister's house is not as good..."

Ordinary ministers also have three wives and four concubines, three or five legitimate sons, and seven or eight concubines.

Xia Xi, as the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom and No. 1 in the world of Kyushu, unexpectedly has only one woman, the queen.

Moreover, the empress was born in the same year and month as Xia Xi, so they were the same age.

Now, the age of forty years has passed.

It's really embarrassing.

Qiqi's eyes flashed, and she raised her head to look at everyone.

Some people didn't dare to look at her, and some people made eye contact with her and quickly avoided it.

She looked at the crowd coldly, and realized that today's birthday banquet turned out to be a forced wedding banquet.

Forcing Xia Xi to take a concubine.

Especially the woman on the colorful boat outside the window is really a suitable candidate.

She said lightly: "I don't know who this woman is on the boat?"

No one answered her.

After a long time, Marquis Changhun said angrily, "That's the minister's concubine Meier."

Qiqi murmured the beauty's name twice and shook her head.

People in the world often say that she is cold by nature, pure and pure as if she doesn't eat fireworks.

In order to impress Xia Xi, Marquis Changhun found a beauty who was the opposite.

This is for fear that Xia Xi will look down on her.

She nodded and said no more.

Xia Xi's eyes flickered, and she said solemnly: "I only love the empress in my whole life, and the harem is too small to accommodate too many people. I appreciate the love of all your lovers."

He stood up and looked at Bing'er with a smile: "If the prince is tired, you can walk with the father. The father is old and needs someone to support him."

Bing'er obediently stood up, smiled and supported his arm, and said respectfully: "I am indeed tired. Listening to these ministers say such foul things really dampens my interest."

Bing'er helped Xia Xi go.

In the whole hall, there were only seven or seven people left.

She didn't say leave, the courtiers really didn't dare to say goodbye.

Everyone held their breath and kept silent, sweating secretly.

Qi Qi said: "Since Chang Hun Hou is determined to recommend this woman to the emperor, why not let me see it for the emperor."

Everyone was startled, and Chang Hun Hou was already so startled that he took a step back.

He looked up in disbelief.

Qiqi smiled slightly: "Is there anything wrong?"

There is nothing wrong with it.

She is the queen, if she wants to see anyone in this world, no one can refuse.

A little concubine really couldn't refuse her.

The beauty got off the boat, and walked in from the main entrance of the hall holding the guqin.

The whole hall was silent.

The long red carpet seems endless.

After a long time, the beauty stood opposite to Qi Qi.

Can't see clearly through the veil.

Qiqi said: "Take off the veil."

The beauty was startled, her face flushed red, she lowered her head almost in resistance, refusing to take off her veil.

Changhunhou panicked: "Empress Empress, actually..."
