After Xia Qingqing personally sent Gu Yue Yuhua away, the smile on her face gradually faded, leaving only a faint melancholy.
No one is willing to share their lover with others, but Xia Qingqing's identity makes some things impossible.
Now that Anyang has been developed for nearly six years, Li Xian has never taken a concubine. After the Shang Kingdom was officially established, Li Xian did not take a concubine. The outside world has only one opinion about him - Xia Qingqing is jealous.
Being in this position, Xia Qingqing inevitably suffered some criticism. The most criticized thing was probably her marriage. The marriage of ordinary people was their own, but Li Xian's marriage was for the whole country.
To put it practically, Li Xian's marital status was directly related to the social structure, social politics, and national future of the Shang Kingdom.
That's why the above happened. Xia Qingqing, as the queen, took the initiative to help Li Xian take a concubine. But when it was over, Xia Qingqing couldn't help but sigh. As a queen, she had to do this, but as a woman, she could only sigh.
After thinking about it, Xia Qingqing still felt a little aggrieved. She could only ask the maid to inform Li Xian of the situation, and she went directly to Pingxin Villa to complain to her mother.
"This is the fate of a daughter of an imperial family." Xiao Yu, the former queen of Xia, said softly, and the mother and daughter embraced each other quietly. After a while, Xiao Yu said, "Qingqing, you are already very happy. Li Xian still loves you after all. In fact, from my opinion of Li Xian, he is optimistic about Gu Yue Yuhua for two reasons. The first reason is that Gu Yue Yuhua is indeed better, but this is probably a secondary factor."
"What's the main factor?" A gleam of happiness reappeared in Xia Qingqing's eyes.
"Think about it yourself..." Xiao Yu tapped Xia Qingqing's brow, "How could my smart daughter not think of it!"
"I want you to tell me, mom~~~" Xia Qingqing started to act coquettishly.
"Forget it, forget it. I'm afraid of you, girl." Xiao Yu touched Xia Qingqing's hair lovingly. "It's actually very simple. The second factor, and the most important factor, is the political task! Does Li Xian attach great importance to this medical reform? And because he attaches great importance to it, he must control the most critical people. And he must take 'important actions'. Think about it, since the development of the Shang Kingdom, the real talents have been firmly controlled by Li Xian. The only outstanding girl, Yun Feihong, was engaged early. Now, is Gu Yue Yuhua in a key position in Li Xian's plan? And an irreplaceable position?"
"Oh... I see." Xia Qingqing calmed down and regained her confidence and pride.
Seeing Xia Qingqing like this, even Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel a little envious. As a woman, Xia Qingqing is the queen of the Shang Kingdom, the queen of a powerful country, and this pride is unparalleled. Moreover, Li Xian is not a domineering and cold king.
This look only flashed by, Xiao Yu patted Xia Qingqing on the shoulder: "Okay, you should go back. If you don't go back now, Li Xian will definitely have bad thoughts. When things are inevitable, you should treat them with the greatest tolerance. Because, you are the queen! Even the queens of many small countries will bow to greet you when they see you!"
