Chapter 6 Report

Empress Xiao sat high on the throne with a graceful manner, smiling at the kneeling and greetings of the concubines. These days, although some people were confused by Feng Wuhen's departure from the capital, Xiao was the formally enthroned queen. Feng Wuyan, who had not yet obtained the title of crown prince, naturally could not compare to Xiao's majesty, so many destiny women came to Kunning Palace. However, Xiao Yunchao was not in the capital, so there were fewer noble relatives in the pepper room, but He Weitao's wife came several times.

The same is true today. After the concubines surrendered one after another, several noble ladies dressed in gorgeous clothes came here. Lingyun Fadu was still generous to the inner palace. Concubines with status could meet their own destiny at all times, while the queen was more free. As long as the decree was allowed, they had always been scruples when they entered and left the Kunning Palace. Now Xiao is the newly ascended queen throne. When the Holy Family was in a prime position, which noble ladies dared not to come and curry favor with it? However, among the group of destiny, there was a woman dressed in a simpler manner.

Although Xiao is a knowledgeable person, he still couldn't help but look at her more. Seeing the young woman who looked like a young woman followed Mrs. He and Xue, she couldn't help but guess what. After several maids kowtowed according to the courtesy, they stood respectfully on the side with their hands down. Xue is the first-class maid of imperial decree, with the most honorable status, so naturally stood in front of her. She smiled and flattered, "I haven't seen the queen for a few days, but I see you getting better and better.

Look, seeing that the servants in Kunning Palace are trained better than others, no wonder the entire harem seems strict under your control, and even the emperor has saved a lot of worries." Although Xue came from a poor family, after marrying He Weitao, she had a wide circle of friends. In order to avoid losing her husband's face, she spoke with everyone with a good manner. Several other ladies also echoed, and praised Xiao as one of the few virtuous queens in ancient and modern times.

Although she thought that her beauty had overwhelmed all the concubines in the harem, Xiao always liked the most because others praised her for her talent. At this moment, Xue's words were just right, and she couldn't help but feel better. "Look, Mrs. He's mouth is really flattering, and the praising words are piled up. If I don't pay attention, she will really scare her. Tell me, who is the sacred person behind you? Is it your sister?"

When Xue saw the queen asking her, she quickly pulled the young woman behind her over and told her to salute Xiao again. "I can't help but betray her, and I can only bring the world. I believe you also know that those men outside are not from three wives and four concubines. This is Wei, the third concubine of his uncle, whom the emperor named Gongren."

As soon as this sentence was said, the other noble ladies couldn't help but look strange. Even if the concubines whose husbands were favored at home were rarely given the opportunity to come to the stage. Xue's move today was undoubtedly a taboo, so there was no reason to bring a concubine when she met the queen. However, some people also showed a thoughtful look. The imperial edicts of the court have always only given the wife, and this concubine can get a title of respect. I believe that there are either someone in my parents' family or have raised a good son himself.

Wei was in a proper manner, but he was quite well-organized. After the queen Xiao called out, she stood up with a very respectful expression. Seeing that her clothes were in line with the etiquette, she couldn't help but feel good. She had heard Feng Wuhen mention Wei Wenlong, so when she heard Xue talk about the surname of this woman, she immediately understood her origin. Xiao pity her as a small woman, and it was not easy to be able to do this, so she asked her a few questions lightly. Unexpectedly, Wei was neither humble nor arrogant, and answered in a slight manner, which was a little stronger than an ordinary woman.

Xiao couldn't help but scrunch his hands and said, "I didn't expect that Lord He has a good vision. Such an experienced woman could marry her as a concubine, which is a real blessing." Seeing that Xue seemed to be a little jealous on her face, she continued to praise her, "However, Mrs. He, thanks to your good family management, this woman might be buried when she was placed in other mansions."

Xue couldn't help feeling a light on her face and hurriedly thanked: "The Empress is too proud. I can't afford it. I just manage a well-off society. How can I get the hard work of the Empress leading the six palaces?" She said while showing Wei, who was standing beside her, "You are still standing there, so why don't you thank the Empress for praise!"

After a while of chaos, because of Xue's special status, the women of all destiny did not intend to disturb the activities between her and the queen, and they all left. Seeing that all the idle people left, Xiao then curled up and looked at the two women in front of him with a serious expression, and then said, "Ms. He, you will not become a young woman without a chance. I feel uneasy. I believe that your wives and concubines are harmonious, but the rules of Kunning Palace have been set a long time ago. The edicts below the fourth rank of Gongren have always been able to be seen only during festivals. What is the matter with Lord He today? "

The two women below looked at each other, their faces full of surprise. At this time, they realized that what their husband said was true. Empress Xiao was indeed a very talented woman. "Return to the Queen's words, the concubine's brother sent someone to report the day before yesterday, saying that the Yin family's escaped from the net had a whereabouts, and there were rumors among merchants outside that this person intends to assassinate the Seventh Prince again. The brother had dated the Seventh Prince and felt that he was grateful for his favor, so he sent someone to investigate. Who knew that the thief was stubborn and injured several lives in a row. The concubine knew that she was not famous enough to enter the palace, so she had to ask my master and wife to be kind to him. Then she entered Kunning Palace and asked the Queen to inform the Seventh Prince to be careful."

Xiao's expression sternly. If it were an ordinary person, she would naturally sneer and look down on it. It should be noted that the guards around Feng Wuhen were chosen by the emperor and were all very skilled. However, the Yin family's methods were sinister, and the previous experience almost killed Feng Wuhen. If they used the same trick again this time, the matter would be irreversible.

"I appreciate your kindness, but if the remnants of the Yin family still want to make trouble, not only will I not let them go, but the emperor will investigate them again." Xiao said seriously, with a hint of fatigue on her face. The two women on her lower head hurriedly surrendered when they saw this. Their purpose of coming here today has been achieved, so naturally they don't have to stay here anymore.

"Roping, do you think what they said is true?" Xiao asked his confidant maid again, "The emperor said long ago that the Yin family was just a scapegoat, and there were others behind the scenes. I really doubted the source of their news. Could it be that someone intends to mislead and force me to do something extraordinary?" No wonder Xiao was nervous. There were many villains in the past dynasties, so if you were not careful, you would be tricked. Although He Weitao was a person who was highly valued by Xiao Yunchao, Xiao really did not dare to believe such words too much at such extraordinary moments.

"Empress, you must not believe these words, nor can you believe them all." Seeing that the master was a little confused, Rouping knew that she was concerned about them, he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded, "The Seventh Prince is accompanied by many masters, and with Lord Zhan's support, if an ordinary assassin is definitely not close to him. If someone else uses that trick, he will suffer a loss once, and he will definitely be wary of it. If the empress really cares about it, just send someone to report the news. If it is upset, wouldn't it be a joke for those who are afraid that the world will not be confused?" Rouping understood his meaning very clearly. She has followed Xiao for many years and naturally knew the master's nature.

"Just as you want, find someone to send a letter, and you must not have any mistakes." Xiao made up his mind. Now Wuhen's son is a popular person. When the situation is not clear, he is more reliable than Wuxi. Although he has been pampering Feng Wuxi since childhood, now as the queen, Xiao has to consider the future. Wuxi has no experience in assisting in government affairs, secondly, it is not outstanding in front of others, thirdly, the emperor seems to vaguely reveal his dissatisfaction with this son, and so all kinds of things have to make Xiao change his choice. No matter what, as long as he can guarantee his status, she can make any decision. It is important to know that a hero's determination to cut off his arm will not be behind others.

"Report to the Empress, Your Highness Eleventh Prince," a eunuch hurried in to report, judging his master's face while speaking. They were all the best people to observe the words and expressions. Xiao's family has long seen the reason from the past doting Feng Wuxi to the gradual indifference of now, so they often avoid Feng Wuxi, who is irritable.

"Let him come in." Xiao ordered, and his face changed to a calm and solemn expression.

Feng Wuxi sensed the stiffness of the atmosphere as soon as he came in. In the past, every time he came here to pay his respects to his mother, Xiao never held up such a face, and always looked full of spring breeze and his pity was beyond words. But now, he could hardly confirm that the woman sitting high above was his mother. "I would like to pay my respects to my mother." He bent down deeply, and a trace of haze flashed in his eyes. From his mother's attitude, he could see that he would not gain anything this time.

"Get up." Xiao said lightly. When her son sat down, she said again, "Wuxi, you are old now, and I don't care about morning and evening. As long as you try to make face like your brother, I will feel at ease." Xiao stared at his son's eyes, and indeed found the jealousy hidden in his eyes. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. "Your uncle is not in the capital. If you have nothing to do, you might as well go to his house to meet your cousins, who are about the same age as you can take care of each other."

Feng Wuxi couldn't help but lit up. Xiao's eyes did not allow him to go to and from the Xiao family frequently, but now he has re-approved. Doesn't it mean that he can get more support from the Xiao family? He quickly stood up respectfully, with a strong look of joy on his face. The mother and son chatted for a few more homely conversations, and Feng Wuxi couldn't wait to leave, without seeing the unpleasant look on his mother's face.

"Wuxi is still too young. He didn't expect that the palace would let him get along with the Xiao family's children at all." Seeing his son leave, Xiao couldn't help but sigh, "If he hadn't been hopeless for a crown prince now, I wouldn't have forgotten to avoid suspicion. I couldn't even see through this, and I couldn't figure it out. I've really protected him under my wings for too long."
