The two black treasures of Tiangui's escaped concubine

Chapter 201: The Hunting Ground (2)
After all, the royal family is like this, you have to look at the facade first when doing anything.The facade is made for the people to see, and for the world to see.Knowing that the Tanglin royal family is united as one, it is impossible for anyone to overthrow them.

Hua Xiyan remembered that when Li Jiyao came to her yesterday, she was wearing filial attire, with a white jade hairpin on her head, and her innocence in the past suddenly disappeared a lot, making her round face even thinner.Hua Xiyan didn't know what the eldest princess did with her daughter, but based on Li Jiyao's reaction, she knew that the eldest princess must have told her daughter that her father wanted to kill her.Because Li Jiyao can no longer be so confused.It is impossible for the eldest princess to live longer than her own daughter. The daughter should grow up quickly and maturely face everything.Moreover, at Li Jiyao's age, he was about to get married.After marrying into her husband's family, it will be even more difficult for the eldest princess to do things for her daughter.

The kindness of mothers in the world is fully expressed in the eldest princess.Perhaps, for the sake of her daughter, she had a poisonous heart and killed countless people and children.However, for her only biological daughter, she devoted herself wholeheartedly, which could only make people sigh.

Perhaps the eldest princess should feel relieved, because this daughter, after all, is sure of her contribution.Li Jiyao didn't go out often anymore, knowing that after the death of the son-in-law, her mother lived in poverty and loneliness in the mansion, and before she got married, she tried her best to stay in the mansion to accompany her mother.

On this point, Li Jiyao mentioned in an interview with Hua Xiyan yesterday: Sister-in-law Huang, the Eldest Princess is actually very grateful to Sister-in-law Huang, and hopes that someday, she can come here to express her affection to Sister-in-law Huang.

Hua Xiyan can only think of that day in the eldest princess's mansion, when she ruthlessly revealed these truths one by one, in fact, what the eldest princess hates most in her heart is definitely not the son-in-law, but her, the one who takes care of everything in this family. The person who tore away all the appearance of hypocrisy and harmony.

The eldest princess asked the princess to say this because she should think more about her daughter, knowing that her daughter's marriage and fate in the future depend on her.Even if the eldest princess didn't ask her for Hua Xiyan, how could she, Hua Xiyan, refuse to save such a lovely princess who helped her so much?Therefore, it's fine to listen to the princess's official words.

"The son-in-law has just left. According to the custom, Her Royal Highness has to wear hemp and mourning for the son-in-law in the mansion for three years. It's not good for me to go to the princess' mansion often, so as not to touch Her Highness's wound." Hua Xiyan made it clear, yes I don't want to put on a show in front of the princess.

Li Jiyao nodded immediately after listening, "I think so too."

Li Jiyao was not the only one whose feelings were hurt by being involved.

Hua Xiyan changed her clothes and asked Aunt Liu, "Is anyone here?"

Aunt Liu said: "Ms. Qi's family heard the order from the empress early in the morning, and she is already waiting at the palace gate. At this moment, the servants have someone tell the palace guard to let them in."

When Qi Yunyan was ushered in, Hua Xiyan was already sitting on the high chair, drinking a cup of tea.

Qi Yunyan crossed the threshold without raising his head, dressed in the same filial piety as Li Jiyao, kowtowed to her and said, "Criminals pay homage to the empress."

"Get up." Hua Xiyan said.

Qi Yunyan stood up slowly, bowed her head, and did not speak.

Hua Xiyan also couldn't find anything to say for a while.What can I say?I wanted to ask her if her elder brother, Mr. Gong, went to Qi's house as he told her before.What is the Qi family's plan after Mrs. Qi's funeral?

Master Qi still went to work in the Ministry of Officials, and outsiders only knew that Mrs. Qi died suddenly and on the same day as the son-in-law.It's too coincidental that some officials who teased Mr. Qi said: Your wife is blessed to go west on the same day as our eldest princess' son-in-law.

Master Qi's face turned pale, and he smiled wryly: Why didn't you mention the two death row prisoners who were burned to death on the stake that day by the Holy Order?

Qi Yunyan is quite similar to Master Qi in temperament, they are both very self-aware.Hua Xiyan had experienced this point a long time ago.

"Yunyan." Hua Xiyan finally said that voice.

Qi Yunyan's body trembled slightly.

Hua Xiyan said: "Both the Holy Majesty and this palace know the Qi family's loyalty to the imperial court and the Holy Majesty. The Holy Majesty entrusts this palace to represent the imperial court to show respect for what the Qi family has done."

"Sinners, sinners are people who have done wrong things and made big mistakes, how can they be rewarded by the Holy Majesty and the Empress." Qi Yunyan's voice was a little broken.

The emperor is the same, especially after the empress dowager Hu's duplicity set an example, no courtier would be terrified in the face of the court's so-called awards.

Hua Xiyan pondered: "No matter what, old man Qi will be promoted to a third-rank official in the Ministry of Officials, and he will be promoted to two levels. The Holy Majesty will personally tell old man Qi about this matter. I'm just here to give you a letter. "

"Thank you, ma'am." Qi Yunyan immediately kowtowed again.

This kind of situation where her girlfriend kowtows to her again and again is exactly what Hua Xiyan didn't want to see before.Sitting in the back seat, I really want to share my loneliness and hardships with others.After Mrs. Qi's incident, Hua Xiyan also understood that if she didn't express her painstaking efforts clearly, it would bring endless troubles.It's better not to put on a show, and do whatever you want.

After thinking about it, Hua Xiyan said: "From now on, you will often come to the palace to accompany me, I will give you one, and you will walk in the palace in the Moon Room Palace, your father is a third-rank official, you, after I report to the Holy One , for the fourth grade or fifth grade, what do you think?"

Qi Yunyan seemed a little unbelievable, brushed her eyelashes together, and lowered her eyes slightly: "Sinners, criminals, I'm afraid they won't be able to shoulder such a heavy responsibility."

"I said you can afford it if you can afford it."

Accompanied by this sharp voice, Qi Yunyan knelt down in a panic, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, empress."

"I know that you must have not thought it through when you first heard the news today. Go back and discuss it with your father. In the future, it is the wish of this palace and the Holy Majesty that you two can do your best for the court."

After hearing her words, Qi Yunyan knocked on the head twice more, and then exited the house.Hua Xiyan asked someone to send her back to Qi's house in person.

After the person left, Hua Xiyan wandered around the room, thinking that when she was the CEO of Hyundai at that time, she had to put on a dignified face every time she faced subordinates, and she felt very tired after doing so. .So, at that time, she didn't really want to be an official.Being an official has a lot of responsibilities, so why not go to the countryside, play with sparrows and make steamed buns with your youngest son every day.Go wherever you want.

The imperial palace is said to be the most noble place in the eyes of ordinary people, but in fact, it is no different from a prison cage.

Aunt Liu saw that she was about to go to the yard again, she hurriedly followed her, and said, "Madam, it's windy outside, put on some clothes."

Hua Xi Yan looked at the birds flying in the air, and was envious of the younger son.
