Under the 'guidance' of the female guard, Xia Xu entered the hall with trepidation and hope, while Xia Shu entered with endless hope.
Xu Ren and others were already confused. The meeting had just ended this morning, and Xia Qingqing suddenly called all officials above the third rank to a meeting. No one knew why.
Seeing Xia Xu and Xia Shu approaching, all the officials above the third rank at the scene suddenly contracted their pupils.
What is Xia Qingqing going to do
But no one spoke yet. Since Xia Qingqing had called everyone here, there must be a deeper meaning. Before we understand Xia Qingqing's intention, we need to observe carefully. Speaking casually is not a mature performance.
But before Xia Qingqing could speak, a guard suddenly came to report: "Queen, the Crown Prince Li Liang of the Tang Kingdom is here to visit."
Xia Qingqing narrowed her eyes slightly, thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Please come in."
The guard went out, and Li Liang came in a few moments later. He was dressed very simply, and had only one follower by his side. The follower was holding a box carved from exquisite jade with a complicated seal on it.
Li Liang looked at Xia Qingqing, then at Xia Xu and Xia Shu who were standing next to him, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes - it seemed that he came at the right time!
But before Li Liang could speak, Xia Qingqing arranged for Li Liang to sit in an 'audience seat'.
Originally, this hall was a temporarily borrowed, renovated conference hall of the Zizhu Group, and there were still many audience seats around it that had not been vacated.
When Li Liang saw this arrangement, he didn't say anything and sat aside with his followers - of course, the followers had to stand.
At this moment, Li Liang was most interested in what Xia Qingqing was going to do? The two brothers Xia Xu and Xia Shu were standing here at this moment, not to greet him.
After Li Liang sat down, Xia Qingqing looked at Xia Xu and Xia Shu and said softly, "Big Brother and Second Brother, are you here to visit the virtuous king today?"
As soon as Xia Qingqing opened her mouth, the expressions of everyone at the scene began to become interesting.
Xu Ren and others immediately understood that Xia Qingqing should not have met Xia Xu and Xia Shu before!
Li Liang narrowed his eyes as well—what his sister-in-law asked seemed a little strange
Xia Xu and Xia Shu's expressions were even more interesting - I'm really sorry, we didn't even think of Li Xian. But you can't say that. After hesitating for a moment, Xia Xu said, "We are deeply shocked to hear that King Xian was assassinated. But yesterday was chaotic, and we didn't dare to go out for fear of causing misunderstandings. So we had to delay it until today. In addition to visiting King Xian today, we also want to see if the two of us can contribute to the development of the Shang Dynasty."
Xia Qingqing said solemnly, "Thank you for your visit. The wise king is fine now. As for the Shang Dynasty, it is indeed lacking a large number of talents. But I wonder what the two brothers are good at?"
Before Xia Xu could speak, Xia Shu spoke first: "Sister, we can work together to protect the Shang Dynasty from being taken advantage of by those despicable people."
As he said this, he looked at Li Liang beside him, and his meaning was self-evident.
Xia Xu frowned slightly, and could only bite the bullet and said: "Sister, the situation in the Shang Dynasty is very dangerous now, and only our family members are the most trustworthy. Now, we brothers and sisters should..."
