ugly concubine world

Chapter 230 The Man Who Exceeded Expectations
"Mother? What's the matter?" Xia Qingxiao's heart skipped a beat. If something hadn't happened, Mrs. Zhao's complexion would not have turned pale and her emotions had collapsed.Looking away from the corner of the eye, Siwen, who was standing beside her, was also pale.

What happened?

"The adults in charge of the draft are here to inform you, Xiao Er, that you will participate in the draft in a month's time." Zhao replied biting her lip.

Draft?

Why did someone suddenly come to inform about the draft?
If the officials in charge of the draft came to inform, then this matter is a certainty. Could it be that someone wants to harm her?Who exactly?Entering the palace draft means losing freedom, either becoming a palace concubine or a palace maid, or being lucky enough to be pointed out to some royal family.

But what does this have to do with her? !

Biting her lip, she looked at Mrs. Zhao and said in a deep voice, "Mother, don't worry, I'll go out for a while. Don't wait for me for dinner!"

After the words fell, she immediately turned around and ran out again.

Both Zhao Shi and Si Wen were stunned, and looked at each other, Xiao Er should have a solution, right?
After half an hour.

In front of Yanwang Mansion.

Xia Qingxiao has been here a few times, and the guards in front of the door already knew her, so they were a little surprised to see her come here on her own initiative, "Miss Xia?"

This was the first time the guard saw Xia Qingxiao come over on his own initiative, and he was very surprised.

"Is King Yan here?" Xia Qingxiao nodded and asked.

The guard nodded immediately, "The lord is in the mansion." After saying that, Xia Qingxiao was right in front of him leading the way.

Along the way, Xia Qingxiao's face was dark all the way, could it be Han Baimo who did it behind his back?But for some reason, when she heard her mother talk about this matter at home, she didn't doubt Han Baimo, and came to him, and he was the only person she could think of to solve this matter now.
He is not a person who does not keep his word. Since he promised for a year, he will never persecute her again.So, who is behind the scenes?Is it aimed at her specifically?All kinds of doubts and guesses kept flashing in my heart, but I didn't have any clue.

Huo Shuai, who was standing in front of the door, was also surprised when he saw her, "Miss Xia? You..."

Xia Qingxiao nodded, it's awkward for her to take the initiative to find Han Baimo now, okay?She pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I see that King Yan has something important to do." If nothing happened, she would not have come here.

"Oh, the prince is dealing with official business inside, I'll let you know." Huo Shuai nodded blankly, it was Xia Qingxiao's appearance that really surprised him.He never thought that Xia Qingxiao would show up on his own initiative, and he never informed in advance.

What made her come here suddenly?
Just when he put his hand on the door and before he asked, Han Baimo's order came from the study. "Let her in."

"Yes." The corner of Huo Shuai's mouth twitched. The lord is really urgent. It seems that Xia Qingxiao's appearance surprised the lord. At the same time, he should have long expected that one day Xia Qingxiao would take the initiative to come to see him. ?

The prince who has always been introverted really showed his thoughts in front of Xia Qingxiao without any concealment.

Do you want to be so impatient?

When the door of the study was pushed open, Xia Qingxiao walked in slowly, her heart was beating like a drum, and she was extremely nervous. She couldn't think of the reason for this kind of complicated thoughts. Maybe she was really afraid that he was doing something secretly. She was pretty sure he wouldn't.

In the study room, he was sitting in front of the desk, which was full of letters and other things. He raised his head and looked at her slowly, with a dark light shining in his dark eyes.

"I..." Xia Qingxiao hesitated and opened his mouth slowly.

"Huh?" His voice was soft.

Xia Qingxiao's chest jumped, took a deep breath and said, "Just now an adult in charge of the draft went to tell me that I have to participate in the draft in a month's time." I was shocked when I first heard it, but now I have calmed down a lot, and I can Accepted with peace of mind.

Han Baimo's deep eyes were suddenly as cold as ice, and the bloodthirsty light in his eyes gradually emerged. He suppressed the overwhelming anger in his heart, and whispered to her: "It's not the king."

"Well, I know it's not you. However, this matter may have something to do with you. I... Anyway, I don't want to enter the palace, nor do I want to participate in the draft." Xia Qingxiao lowered her head and said what was in her heart.

At that moment just now, she thought of the person Yong Le had mentioned, Qin Yun.

Maybe it's just guesswork.

But this matter is no longer something she can solve in a short time. If it is really related to Qin Yun, then it will have a certain relationship with the emperor.No matter how clever her mind is, it will be difficult for her to compete with the imperial power for a while.

So, she could only come to see him.

Before anyone saw it, Qin Yun had already moved her hands. She couldn't help being a little surprised at the speed.This matter was either Han Baimo, or the emperor. She had no grievances with the emperor, and it was probably impossible for the emperor to find such a small person like her. Therefore, there was only one suspect, and that was Qin Yun.

"Don't worry about it." Han Baimo stood up from the table, then came to her, and said softly.

Xia Qingxiao took a step back slightly. For some reason, when she saw him today, she always felt a little flustered, and her heartbeat also inexplicably accelerated a lot. She knew very well that this was not a good signal. "Thank you, I'll go first."

After hurriedly throwing down a sentence, he turned and ran.

After running outside the room, without his breath around, I felt much more comfortable physically and mentally.

Standing in front of the door and taking a deep breath, she turned her head and saw Huo Shuai standing not far away, he was staring at her, she raised her eyebrows and asked angrily: "What are you looking at! Could it be that my face has flowers? "

Huo Shuai immediately looked away, "There are no flowers, I just think that when Miss Xia brags in the future, she should brag based on her own situation. Otherwise, she will be exposed in the future, and it will be a slap in the face." Now I think of what the dark guard told me when he came back When he heard those words, his eyes almost fell to the ground in shock, and she could say those words!
It is really speechless!

The most important thing is that all the police officers of Dali Temple have nicknamed Zhang Ergou behind his back, Jiulang!
When the lord heard these words just now, his entire face changed. He really didn't expect Xia Qingxiao to really regard himself as a man now!

Xia Qingxiao froze for a moment, bragging?She has always been adhering to the low-key life and low-key style of doing things, when will she brag?Looking at Huo Shuai's flushed face again, he suddenly thought of what he said to those arresters not long ago!

Her face changed suddenly, those words would not have been passed to Han Baimo's ears at once, right?

Taking a deep breath, he gritted his teeth and said, "If bragging is not exaggerated, is it still bragging? Learn from me in the future, so that you don't even know what bragging means now." After saying these words, She didn't even look at Huo Shuai, she turned her head and walked away quickly.

What a shame!

You must exercise restraint in the future, and stop bragging!

Huo Shuai froze in place, staring at Xia Qingxiao's walking figure in shock.

To brag is to exaggerate?Then I don’t know that there is no limit to blowing up, right?Thinking about it now makes her blush.It's no wonder that the prince's complexion has not been very good since then, gloomy.

……

Qin Mansion.

Today, because of the return of Miss Qin Yun, the whole mansion is bustling with cleaning, because Qin Yun is very afraid of getting dirty, so the whole mansion has to be cleaned carefully.

I just had lunch, a simple meal, and I have been used to eating light food for many years. She used to be greedy for some big fish and meat occasionally, but now she has no feeling at all.

It was a bit cold in the capital after autumn, she gathered her clothes, sat down and drank a cup of hot tea.

A delicate maidservant walked in, came to Qin Yun and said respectfully, "Miss, there is news."

"Well, let's talk." Qin Yun nodded, and raised her head to look at her substitute maid, and also her most trusted confidant, Lan Yu.

"Now that the Xia family has been notified, Xia Qingxiao must participate in the draft. Miss, this Miss Xia comes from a humble background and comes from Los Angeles, so it shouldn't be a waste of time for her." Lan Yu reported, obviously just a seemingly An ordinary woman, why does the lady go to such lengths to deal with her?

Qin Yun lowered her head, took a sip of tea, and replied with a deep expression: "She is the only woman who can enter Prince Yan's mansion at will, besides Su Qi, Yongle and me. I have an intuition that the prince has shown her sincerity. .”

"Why do you see it? The servant thinks that the prince cannot like Xia Qingxiao. The servant has investigated her in the past few days. She came from a humble background, and her father is only the master of Dali Temple Qingjiao. In any case, even if she can make it up with her heart The prince likes her, so she can only be a concubine in the future." Lan Yu made some reasonable guesses.Even if a woman from a humble family background can climb into the royal family, she can only become a concubine because of her background, but what can a concubine do?Soon there will be another concubine, and the position will always be replaced by someone else.

"Lan Yu, no one knows the lord better than me." Qin Yun was thoughtful. Her understanding of Han Baimo can be said to be unmatched, because he was cold-hearted towards anyone through his childhood experience. His affection, including his love for her, was just because he didn't believe in the reason why he touched her in the lake back then, so he took good care of her.

but……

There was a hint of worry between his brows.

He only took care of her, and he was still cold-hearted.Three years ago, she left the capital to go to other places to recover from her illness. Firstly, she was too weak to allow herself to see him with that pale sickly face. Second, she was very sure that he would not fall in love with any woman, so she was not in a hurry. .

But a month ago, she got the news that he was very attentive to a woman named Xia Qingxiao.Not only did she arrange for her father to be the Master Qing of the Dali Temple, but also arranged for a hidden guard to protect Xia Qingxiao.

This had never happened before, and it was beyond her expectations.

Even now until some things about Xia Qingxiao, she still can't figure out why he changed because of Xia Qingxiao?

What kind of woman is Xia Qingxiao?
Curiosity never before filled the heart.

Perhaps, this shot will anger him.

Just maybe.

How it turned out, she would get an answer soon.

"The emperor just sent a pair of bracelets, the quality is very good, do you want to see it?" Lan Yu suddenly thought that when she came back, she saw the father-in-law next to the emperor and sent many rewards, but she knew her master well. , I don't like gold and silver jewelry, the only thing I like may be jadeite.

Qin Yun shook her head, "No, I'll take a nap first."

"Yes." Lan Yu wanted to persuade a few words, but she knew her master's character very well, so she closed her mouth again.She really wanted to say, in fact, the emperor treated his master very well, and he really cared about it.Why did the master never see it?Only thinking about King Yan wholeheartedly?

Hey, maybe the master will figure it out in the future.

When Qin Yun lay on the bed, it was difficult to fall asleep, and her mood was extremely complicated.If he really fell in love with Xia Qingxiao, what should she do?

……

An ordinary house.

Mrs. Zhang was busy in the yard, and Xia Chujun had been preparing for the draft.

After a few days of meditation, I didn't dare to think about it, and I didn't seek anyone to get close to King Yan.

Perhaps he suddenly realized that as long as he waited quietly, a miracle might happen, and there was still a month before the draft.

At the time of the draft, she was trying to find a way to ask the emperor's father-in-law. As long as the father-in-law proposed to the emperor, although she came from a humble background, she was able to point it to the king of Yan. She is also satisfied, she will seize the opportunity in the future, and the position of side concubine is not far away.

After confirming the goal, the mood is not as flustered as it was some time ago, looking for a way out everywhere as if there is no way out, and bumping into walls everywhere, and it is easy to make King Yan hate her when he is not careful.

Suddenly, a servant who took care of the master sent a letter.

After taking it apart and looking at it, her expression suddenly changed, and she was a little puzzled: "Master, why did you let me use Qin Yun? Qin Yun... Who is it? Using Qin Yun can you get rid of Xia Qingxiao?"
