Xia Houyin concentrates on correcting the memorials. He has long forgotten about the promise of the queen mother. For him, the women in the harem are only for distraction. He doesn't pay much attention to women's sex. Women, he has always captured them, and he has no interest in how to compete for favor with women in the harem. As long as they don't go too far, he will always go with them.
Of course he knew the difficulty of the unpopular queen running the harem, but so what? Since Su Xiurong is an empress, it is her job to be in charge of the harem. If she can't even do her own duty, what is the use of him for this empress
Now there is the Queen Mother who is relying on the Queen's back. If the Queen Mother is gone one day, I am afraid that the Queen Su Xiurong will be bullied by the harem concubines to the end, right
Thinking of Su Xiurong's cowardly personality, the wolf pen in his hand paused slightly, Xia Houyin frowned slightly, and then untied it again, he raised his lips indifferently, and continued to pick up another memorial.
If Su Xiurong really can't manage the harem, then he will have to find another concubine to help her. He will not abolish Su Xiurong's post. If he does, it will be troublesome in the future. It's hard to explain, Su Xiurong will still be a queen, but she doesn't have any real power.
Let her be wealthy and stable in her life, so it's not bad for her, right
Xia Houyin looked at the memorial in a happy mood, and he had to say that it was a big joy for him that he didn't have to go to Fengyi Palace tonight.
Thinking of Concubine Qing's gentleness and charmingness, it was much more boring than Su Xiurong's.
Tonight is definitely not a boring night!
During the meal time, Xiahou Yin set out to drive the Qingling Palace.
He held his hands and walked leisurely. Several eunuchs followed behind, and Yongfu led the way with a lantern in front. Suddenly, Yongfu stopped.
"Your Majesty." Yongfu turned his head hesitantly. There was a female official kneeling at the entrance of Qingling Palace. Seeing the female official, Yongfu's face froze.
Of course Xia Houyin saw it too, that was the Queen Mother's personal maid.
"The green sleeves meet the emperor." The female official bowed her head respectfully.
Xia Houyin didn't hum, just narrowed his eyes.
"Emperor, the empress dowager asked Lu Xiu to wait for you here and send a message for the empress dowager."
"What?"
"You have no jokes."
What a gentleman without joking! Xia Houyin felt a throbbing pain in his forehead, why didn't his mother let him go? He can ignore it, but he can imagine that the queen mother will visit the Qingling Palace in person soon. Xia Houyin knows very well about his mother's personality.
Xia Houyin closed his eyes helplessly and turned around.
"Your Majesty?" Yongfu said quickly.
"Go to Fengyi Palace." Without waiting for Yongfu, Xiahou Yin walked in the direction of Fengyi Palace, "Yongfu just follow, and the rest retreat."
Yongfu hurriedly followed behind the master, he shut up smartly, knowing not to say anything at this moment, so as not to make the master feel worse.
When he was about to reach the Fengyi Palace, he opened his mouth cautiously. "Your Majesty, do you want Xiao Xian to report..."
"No." It's the same with or without notification, tonight is destined to be boring. "Go straight in..."
Xia Houyin stopped and frowned.
"What's wrong with the emperor?" Yongfu also stopped, and he looked at the prince suspiciously, "What's wrong... Huh? Why is there a scent?"
He raised his head and sniffed hard, "This fragrance..." Why does it feel like it came out of the Fengyi Palace
Xia Houyin didn't speak, just stepped into Fengyi Palace, and Yongfu hurriedly followed.
The closer he got closer, the stronger the fragrance. Yongfu licked his lips and couldn't help but keep smelling the fragrance. The saliva in his mouth kept secreting. He walked a few more steps and approached the arch of the inner palace. sound to come.
"Niangniang, is this really edible?"
"Of course, chicken butts are delicious on earth."
"Yes… "
"I don't believe you eat one."
"Hmm... It's so hot, so hot... Huh? It's really delicious! Xia Xi, you can eat one too."
"Wait a minute, ma'am, the chicken thighs are ready."
"Oh, well, hisss... it's hot!"
"Be careful, madam!"
"It's okay, don't just focus on me, you can eat too."
Listening to the conversation, Xia Houyin frowned slightly. When he walked into the archway, he saw three people sitting around, with a stone in the middle. On the stone was an iron net. A lot of fresh meat, Xia Xi and Chunxi are holding brushes, pour sauce from a bowl, and then spread it on the meat on the iron mesh, and the aroma is emitted from the iron mesh.
And his queen...
Xia Houyin's brows furrowed even tighter. Su Xiurong, who had always been docile, timid, and well-dressed, was now only wearing a thin single-clothing--really, not even a belt, showing not only her skin, but also her pink clothes. The tube top was exposed, and her black hair braided was casually coiled up with pearl hairpins. She sat on a chair with her legs crossed rudely, holding a chicken leg in her right hand and biting it with her mouth open.
Of course Yongfu saw it too. He hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the queen again, but he was also shocked.
God! Did he read it wrong, is that really the queen
"Xia Xi, I want to eat chicken wings." Jiang Chuwei said vaguely while biting the meat, while nibbling on the chicken legs, she took the wine pot beside her. Drink, then exhale contentedly.
"This sweet-scented osmanthus wine is really good." She smacking her lips, although there is no cola to go with, this sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus wine is also good to drink, but unfortunately there is no ice, otherwise the cold wine must be better!
Xia Xi and Chunxi were used to the heroic behavior of their master, and they also wondered, how could the master change so much overnight? But seeing that the master is very happy, they are also happy, and no longer explore the changes of the master.
"Niangniang likes it, there is more here." Chunxi immediately took out another pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine. "But Niangniang, this sweet-scented osmanthus wine has great stamina, so don't drink too much."
"Okay, I know." Jiang Chuwei was very satisfied with one mouthful of wine and meat, and she did not forget to say, "Xiaxi, chicken wings!"
"Yes, Xia Xi knows." Xia Xi turned her head with a smile, ready to pick up chicken wings from the plate, but out of the corner of her eyes she saw the person standing by the arch! She screamed in horror and got up hastily. "Emperor, emperor?!"
Xia Xi got up together, and Chunxi also saw Xia Houyin standing beside the arch. She was so frightened that the chopsticks in her hands fell, and she quickly got up. "emperor!"
Jiang Chuwei was still nibbling on the chicken legs, her teeth were sinking into the meat, and when she heard the screams of the two girls, she raised her head, looked at the arch, and met Xia Houyin directly.
She blinked. It was the first time she saw the emperor. She was not surprised by his youth. She had learned the emperor's age from Xia Xi before, but she was surprised that this emperor... He looked pretty good! Well, from her point of view as the editor-in-chief of a women's magazine, it's very good.
She thought that the emperor who lived in the palace was pampered and didn't need to do any rough work. He should be the kind of sissy with a clean appearance, or else he was a bastard with a big belly. , but unexpectedly, it surprised her.
According to her eyesight, the man's height should be over 180, and the blue robe embroidered with the five-clawed Panlong gave off a noble aura. Although Xia Houyin's complexion is not dark, he does not look thin at all. He is tall and strong, not to mention a big belly. She thinks that he has six pack abs!
He does not belong to the feminine and delicate type, but is very masculine, with angular facial features, handsome but not feminine, and long and narrow eyes that remind her of the Queen Mother - these days, the Queen Mother sometimes also visits the Fengyi Palace. When she visited her, she knew at first glance that this queen mother was not simple, not as easy to fool as the two girls beside her, so when facing the queen mother, she pretended to be Su Xiurong.
This is not difficult at all, as long as she pretends to be docile and obedient, and then puts on a weak posture, she can easily deceive the shrewd queen mother; and this emperor, his eyes are very similar to the queen mother, although more masculine belonging to men , but the shrewdness in her eyes made her understand that she was not so lucky to get through this time.
After biting down a piece of meat, Jiang Chuwei lowered her eyes, chewing the meat in her mouth, trying her best to think about how to solve the current situation.
When Jiang Chuwei looked at him, Xia Houyin also saw her reaction into his eyes. Surprise flashed in those eyes, then he regained his composure, and even continued to bite the chicken leg in his hand.
This was nothing like the Su Xiurong he remembered.
"The slave and the maid meet the emperor." After the panic, Xia Xi and Chunxi hurriedly knelt down. Chunxi still didn't forget to secretly look at the master, and hinted that the master should hurry up and salute to the emperor.
But Jiang Chuwei was thinking about how to solve the situation in front of her, and she forgot to see the emperor respectfully salute.
"All retreat." Xia Houyin waved his hand, his black eyes still staring at Jiang Chuwei.
Xia Xi and Chunxi looked at each other, although they were uneasy, they did not dare to disobey the emperor's order, so they had to get up and leave Fengyi Palace with Yongfu.
Jiang Chuwei came back to her senses, just when she heard Xia Houyin's words, she looked up to see Xia Xi and Chunxi leaving, and before leaving, she didn't forget to look back at her worriedly.
She glanced at the emperor and saw that he was staring at her. The deep eyes made it difficult to see her thoughts, but it also made her understand that if she couldn't get through this level, her life might not be guaranteed.
Leaving the chicken bones that had no meat at all, she picked up a towel to wipe her hands, and stood up calmly. At this time, she finally remembered what the emperor wanted to do, and she was blessed.
"Chen and concubine meet the emperor."
The other party didn't say a word, Jiang Chuwei pouted, and didn't intend to keep her knees bent like this, she stood up straight and looked up at Xia Houyin.
Her attitude was not at all respectful, and she looked at him without any fear in her eyes. If he read it right, she might still be very disdainful of him.
Xia Houyin walked forward and stopped two steps away from her, but she did not retreat, she still stood firm, and those proud eyes were still staring at him.
"You're not Su Xiurong." Su Xiurong didn't have this kind of eyes, let alone this kind of courage.
Xia Houyin's eyes were cold, and his palms caught Jiang Chuwei off guard, his strong hand seemed to want to break her wrist. "Who are you and where is Su Xiurong?"
She was suddenly caught, and the pain in her wrist made Jiang Chuwei frown. "Hey! Let go!" She wanted to struggle, but Xia Houyin held her tightly, as if her bones were about to be shattered.
Jiang Chuwei was angry, she raised her leg and kicked his calf directly, Xia Houyin flashed past, but she stretched out her foot to sweep his lower plate, grabbed his arm with one hand, and her petite body attacked forward, intending to give him a shoulder-to-shoulder fall.
But she forgot that this body belonged to Su Xiurong. Even if Jiang Chuwei was fierce, even if she was a master black belt in Taekwondo, this body was not only thin, but also weak.
"Shit!" She couldn't get out, her hands were clasped and locked behind her back, and the pain from the bones of her hands made her face twist. "Wait, stop! Let's not get excited, calm down first, and let us solve it in a civilized way."
At such a time, since she couldn't beat it, of course she knew that she should beg for mercy.
Jiang Chuwei smiled and hurriedly looked at Xia Houyin with her pitiful eyes, "Your Majesty, as the ruler of a country, isn't it bad to treat a girl like this?"
Xia Houyin ignored it and asked again, "Where's Su Xiurong?"
"I am—" The pain in her wrist made her grit her teeth, and she glared at him angrily. "Damn it! If you don't believe it, you won't touch it!"
Jiang Chuwei stood on tiptoe, her little face almost close to him. "Touch, touch, touch, touch to see if this face is Su Xiurong!"
Xia Houyin stared at the close face, there was nothing suspicious, not even the edge of the face was uneven, and could not find any traces of disguise.
Frowning slightly, he stretched out his left hand and touched Jiang Chuwei's face, but he still couldn't find any flaws.
Is this person really Su Xiurong? Xiahou Yin released his right hand.
As soon as she was freed, Jiang Chuwei immediately rubbed her already bruised and swollen wrist and stared at Xia Houyin.
"What, do you believe it?"
Ha ha! Seeing the doubts in Xiahouyin's eyes, Jiang Chuwei's mood finally improved. No matter how wise the emperor was, he would never have thought of such a thing as time-travelling and soul-changing, right
"Who are you?" The person in front of him was Su Xiurong, but he knew that the person who was looking at him proudly at the moment was definitely not his queen.
He didn't think that Su Xiurong was deliberately pretending to be submissive and well-behaved before, there was no need for Su Xiurong to do such a thing, and the woman in front of her felt so different from Su Xiurong, they were like two different people at all.
Jiang Chuwei rubbed her wrists, her eyes turned slightly, and she immediately smiled at Xia Houyin, her eyes narrowing with laughter, "My name is Jiang Chuwei, as for Su Xiurong... She is already dead."
Seeing Xia Houyin frowning, she also sighed helplessly, and her mouth naturally spit out ghosts, "Actually, I am a lonely ghost, wandering in this world all the time, very pitiful! I just saw Su Xiurong falling into the lake, and then my eyes went dark, and when I woke up, I became Su Xiurong."
Going through such a profound thing, she thought that the ancients in front of her would not understand, anyway, she was right, she did inexplicably become Su Xiurong after waking up.
Xia Houyin didn't miss the sly light that flashed in Jiang Chuwei's eyes, he snorted coldly, and the corner of his lips tickled mockingly, "Do you think I will believe this kind of nonsense?"
If she didn't experience it personally, she wouldn't believe it!
