Chapter 179
Concubine Jia was of course the one most affected by this matter.

It didn't take long for her to be beautiful, and she fell down so inexplicably, those concubines who had been flattering her at first saw that the situation was not good, and immediately turned their heads to show favor to Empress Xiao again.

It's not that she doesn't have an army behind her!

Concubine Jia was so angry that she hoped that Luo Qingchen could enter the palace sooner and open a gap in her body so that he could build friendship with Lord Zhen Guo and the others, so that he would never be so humiliated again next time.

Although Xu You'er was swayed by Empress Xiao before, but Concubine Jia wins Luo Qingchen, so she can't lean over there.

Now that Empress Xiao is in charge of Fengyin again, Xu Hongwen waited and watched the changes when Empress Xiao lost power, secretly kept in touch with Xiao's party, and performed well.

Xiao's party has already regarded him as one of their own.

He is also cunning, never turned against the king, and never had a confrontation with the king.

Xu You'er seized the opportunity and ran to Queen Xiao's courteously to show her kindness.

Although Empress Xiao treated her indifferently in front of others, according to the news from Xu Shangzhi, the prince said that Empress Xiao mentioned Xu You'er more and more recently, and it seems that she intends to cultivate her.

Empress Xiao sent her confidant maid to send gifts to Xu You'er, and the people in the palace naturally knew what was going on.

On the other hand, Xu Hongwen was even more grateful to Empress Xiao. Anyway, Empress Xiao was able to win over the Xu family without much effort, and was also happy to give Xu Youer some small favors with a little effort.

Although Empress Xiao didn't like Xu You'er's entry into the palace before, after observing it for a while, she felt that she was just a spoiled young lady who would not pose a threat to the crown prince, so she felt relieved.

Xu You'er received such high praise from Empress Xiao, she was so proud in the palace, and she walked domineeringly, so majestic.

Secretly, those palace gates said that Xu You'er was more like Empress Xiao's biological son than the crown prince.

That demeanor, that domineering vigor are similar, except that Empress Xiao is more restrained, and Xu You'er is almost arrogant and fearless except for the king Shang Empress Xiao.

This is what Empress Xiao likes the most.

On this day, on the artificial lake dug in the palace, a red painting boat was slowly sailing. Concubine Jia was in a depressed mood these days and was swimming in the lake to relax.

After a while, another group of people came by the lake. Looking at the maids in pink palace attire, they knew that the one who was shouting and hugging was none other than Princess Changping Xu You'er, who stole the limelight.

"Mistress, look, they seem to beckoning us to come over and get on the boat." Biyue heard the faint shout from the little maid at the bow of the boat, and said angrily, "Isn't this obvious? The empress has only been here for a while, She also wants to swim in the lake, and there is a painting boat over there, so I want this one."

Concubine Jia turned her eyes to the shore, only to see the court ladies and eunuchs waving desperately to this side, Bi Yue's words were true.

There have been so many "coincidences" of this kind recently that it's hard to say that Xu You'er didn't do it on purpose.

"They can shout whatever they want. It's so far away. I went to enjoy the scenery. It's understandable that I didn't hear it." Concubine Jia smiled inscrutably, and turned her face to the small island in the middle of the lake in front of her.

Bi Yue replied yes, and passed on the message that all the people on the boat should be busy with their own affairs, and ignore the people on the shore.

The maids and eunuchs on the shore shouted hoarsely, and they didn't see the boat coming back. Instead, they sailed to the island in the middle of the lake and stopped.

Mei Hong, the newly promoted maid of honor beside Xu Youer, said bitterly: "Princess, they must be pretending to be deaf and dumb on purpose."

Xu You'er thought to herself, what's the point?Concubine Jia, when you were so airy when you interrogated me, did you ever imagine that one day you would hide from me like a mouse seeing a cat?

Xu You'er smiled: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't know. But, what's so interesting on the island in the middle of the lake? Concubine Jia rushed there in such a hurry..."

Mei Hong's original master died of a sudden illness. If no one asked her to go to another place, she would have to stay in that palace where no one cares about her and die of old age.

It was not easy to find a little sister who entered the palace with her back then, and found out about Empress Xiao's whereabouts. She performed a good show of paying homage to her former master in the garden to show her loyalty. When Empress Xiao happened to meet her, she felt that she still had some conscience. I kept it by my side.

This time, Empress Xiao gave her to Xu Youer, and Mei Hong was in her prime, so she tried her best to give Xu Youer various ideas, as if she was already a confidant.

Mei Hong hurriedly said: "Princess, no one is allowed to go to the island in the middle of the lake without the king's permission."

Xu You'er's eyes lit up: "Really? How can Concubine Jia go? Mei Hong, you said that this princess saw someone blatantly violated her father's will, shouldn't she first carefully seek evidence and then report the truth?"

Mei Hong said knowingly: "Princess, it just so happens that there is still a painting boat here, why don't we make do with it, let's go and have a look?"

Xu You'er had this intention, so she led the crowd on the yellow boat on the shore, and headed straight for the island in the middle of the lake.

The island in the middle of the lake is not big. Among the low trees, the white palace is small and exquisite.

It was the first time for Xu You'er to go to the island in the middle of the lake. She looked around and saw no one, which was a bit strange.

Mei Hong reminded: "It's almost noon, maybe someone wants to take a nap inside."

Nap?

Xu You'er also felt that Concubine Jia had nowhere else to go except the palace on Huxin Island, so she said, "Mei Hong, go and see if there is anyone inside."

Mei Hong agreed, and just walked a few steps towards the palace, a female officer in dark blue clothes came out from the path among the flowers and trees nearby, and shouted: "Who is bold enough to break into the island in the middle of the lake without authorization?"

Mei Hong saw that the female official's costume was of the eighth grade, but she couldn't remember when there was such a person beside Concubine Jia, who looked young, but had a face as frosty as frost, which made people dare not make mistakes.

She greeted her and said: "My lord, this servant is Hongmei, the eldest maid beside Princess Changping, who went to the island with the master."

The female officer seemed a little surprised, and looked up behind her.

Xu You'er was also looking over here, seeing clearly who the female official was, she was a little surprised, and immediately smiled contemptuously: "Hongmei, you must remember this lord, she is a big celebrity next to the concubine Jia, The eldest and young lady in the Duke of Zhen's mansion. She has taken almost half a year's leave before she took office, and the concubine Jia has always reserved a seat for her. It's a great face. Among the slaves in the palace, you are the most annoying It's her who is the worst, but be careful."

She deliberately bit the word "servant" very hard.

With a calm expression, Luo Qingchen bowed to Xu You'er and said, "I have seen Princess Changping."

Hongmei stood next to Xu You'er with a flattering expression, looked at Luo Qingchen and said, "Oh, so this is the person who was so eloquent that Concubine Jia was found not guilty."

Hongmei lived too comfortably by Xu Youer's side these days, and took herself too seriously, only thinking that the other party was someone next to Concubine Jia, and wanted to beat Luo Qingchen to please her master.

I don't want Luo Qingchen to be one of those concubines in the palace who want to curry favor with Xu You'er, a maid who can't offend their master and servant, nor is it a concubine Jia who doesn't want to impress the king as a shrew.

"Bold slave, the princess has reminded me just now that I am a married woman in the palace. I am talking to your master, why do you, a slave, get in the way?" Luo Qingchen said sharply, his eyes were like frost, causing Hongmei to shudder Cold war, looking at her stupidly, not knowing what to say.

Xu You'er sneered: "Eighth rank is great, even if sixth rank, fourth rank is still not a slave in front of this princess?"

Luo Qingchen said unhurriedly: "The princess's words are wrong. Not only is the lower official an eighth-rank married woman, the princess also said just now that the lower official is also the eldest wife of the Duke of Zhen. If the princess thinks that the civil and military affairs of the court It belongs to the king... Then their wives are also naturally...the lower officials have nothing to say."

Luo Qingchen omitted the word slave, and only Xu You'er could say such words, so she would not give Xu Youer any excuses. In the future, Luo Qingchen said that all civil and military officials in the court were the king's slaves .

This kind of talk can definitely deceive people.

After testifying last time, Xu You'er saw Luo Qingchen again for the first time, and the originally dark blue seemed to become clearer when she appeared on her body.

As for the slightly tough official uniform, because of Luo Qingchen's curvaceous curves, there is a special charm in the majesty, Xu You'er finds it even more distasteful.

"Is it great to be married? It is said that in the past, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhen's mansion killed his mother first, because Ke's father was thrown out of the house. Unexpectedly, it turned out that the young lady was still responsible for killing the king, and Zhen Guo was implicated in the crime of assassinating the king. The public family, after a while, was so tired that the grandpa was assassinated and almost died. I heard that the eldest son had to lie on the bed for more than two months before he could get off the ground... Oh, my princess almost had to prepare a condolence gift at that time."

Xu You'er covered her lips and smiled lightly, and a group of court ladies and eunuchs behind her who didn't know whether they were alive or not were also secretly happy.

Luo Qingchen thought that Xu You'er seemed like a duck to water in the palace these days, maybe she really forgot her last name and enjoyed it like a real princess.

She is not angry, isn't this exactly the effect she wants to make Xu Youer and Li Daitao stiff?

The more arrogant Xu You'er is, the sooner the Xu family's end will come!
"Sorry, let the princess down. The eldest son is alive and well now, and your things are not lost, and they will definitely be used in the future." Luo Qingchen smiled slightly: "If I remember correctly, the princess is only better than the next one." The official is young for a few days. The official may get married too early, and it is inevitable that some people will look at it with a bad taste. Calculated that the official has been the eldest wife of the Zhen Guogong for three years, the engagement between the princess and the son-in-law is delayed before the official marriage I'm not married yet, so the son-in-law-to-be must be very anxious, right? But good things take time, and the next official will definitely prepare generous gifts to congratulate."

Xu You'er pointed at Luo Qingchen's nose: "You are so bold, how dare you laugh at this princess?"

Luo Qingchen spread her hands: "The lower officials are panicked, if something is wrong, please correct me, the princess."

Every sentence in Luo Qingchen's words meant something, Xu You'er had heard enough of the sarcasm, but she couldn't grasp the meaning of the words.

Mei Hong hadn't seen Xu You'er suffer yet, but this eighth-rank female official made her master tremble with anger.

If Luo Qingchen was just a female official, Mei Hong would definitely go up and teach her a lesson, but she still has the status of the young wife of the Duke of Zhen, so Mei Hong didn't dare to confront her head-on, so she had to secretly wink at Xu You'er.
