Chapter 591 - 591-Common Enemy
Xiao Ning also had nowhere to complain.
It was not that he was not satisfied with the respectful relationship with Emperor Yong Ping and was addicted to the emperor’s beauty. She wasn’t that kind of person. If there was meat, she would eat it. If there wasn’t meat, she would drink soup. She was the Empress. Giving her face and honor was enough.
What she was annoyed about was fighting with the Fourth Concubine.
Each of them was quite good-looking. She could tolerate them closing their mouths and not speaking, but as long as they opened their mouths, she wished she could pour all the night fragrance into that mouth.
He would not have anything to say and would have gone straight to the point.
One had to think three or four times before listening to their words. If they accidentally spread it to the emperor’s ears, it would become her fault. She suppressed Gong Fei.
This was not a big deal. There were only four of them. She could still handle them. At most, she could use her power to suppress them and make them shut
up.
It was mainly about palace affairs. Although there were not many concubines in the palace, there were many eunuchs and palace maids. The Empress Dowager didn’t care about anything and only listened to the flattery of the younger generation, including her.
Outsiders couldn’t imagine how complicated the situation in the palace was.
It was true that she was the empress, but the people below her might not necessarily be from any family. She did not know when they would be tripped up and played dirty tricks.
It was common for a simple order to be twisted and twisted, and everyone would say their own words.
Especially after the Fourth Consort entered the palace, everyone in the palace moved, making it difficult for her to move.
When she used her thunderous methods, the Grand Empress Dowager jumped out to plead for her to be a good person. She gave up halfway several times and was about to be disheartened. Only then did she think of Xiao Baoxin.
Who knew that when he summoned her into the palace, she would immediately play tricks.
It was said that she did not know if Cui Liu was really thinking for her or if some power was using methods to separate her from the Xie family. No matter what, she couldn’t keep such a palace maid who acted on her own accord.
It was just that Guo Shangyi was loyal, but he loved to make his own decisions. “Sister-in-law is radiant and even more beautiful than before she gave birth.”Xiao Ning was stunned.
She was not a good-looking person. She was also cute and beautiful. Otherwise, she would not have agreed to Emperor Yong Ping’s marriage so quickly. There must be a reason for her face.
However, no matter how many times she saw Xiao Baoxin, she would only be stunned.
Since Xiao Ning had said this, no matter whether Xiao Baoxin believed it or not, he couldn’t remain indifferent.
” Empress,” she paused.” You’ve lost weight.\'”’
Xiao Ning’s eyes turned red as tears almost fell from her eyes.
“I have no choice. The palace affairs are complicated.” Empress Xiao forced a smile.” I can’t compare to Sister-in-law’s natural beauty…” In the past, Sister-in-law was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to enter the palace. In the future, if Sister-in-law had time, she should enter the palace more often. In this palace, there were not many people who could sit together and talk.”
The Fourth Consort didn’t even mention it.
in Empress Xiao’s eyes, no matter how evil she was, she was only a concubine and could not surpass her.
As he spoke, he pulled Xiao Baoxin to the back room.
The main hall was the place where the Empress met the imperial concubines and the ministers. The main room was extremely private. Those who could enter were the Empress ‘confidants. Their status was different.
Even the palace maids who served her were all chased out.
“Why didn’t sister-in-law bring Ah Yan into the palace? I haven’t seen him yet.””Let’s chat on the side like we did in the Xie residence.
Xiao Baoxin took it and leaned on it, not pretending to be polite.
“I let Ah Yan be brought to my mother-in-law’s side to raise. He doesn’t even follow me now. I also thought about it. I brought her and Nanny. There are too many people and too many mouths. The palace didn’t know what was going on and was afraid of gossip.”
Xiao Ning was shocked and suspicious.’Ts this what sister-in-law wants?” There were some that he brought to his mother-in-law to raise. It was mostly the intention of the elders, but she still trusted Xiao Baoxin’s character. He was generous and there was really no need to lie to her. But if it was really her idea, then it was really…She was big-hearted. No wonder Xie Xian treated her like an eyeball. In order to make his mother-in-law happy, he was even willing to leave his son.
“To be honest, I… I don’t understand children.” Xiao Baoxin wrinkled his nose.” You don’t even dare to hug me, afraid of hurting me.” I saw that my mother-in-law also liked Ah Yan very much, so I discussed with Xuanhui to bring her to my mother-in-law.”
This was also the truth.
Other than her son’s adult soul, his small body was not much bigger than an adult cat. She was really worried that she would accidentally break it.
He couldn’t explain it to anyone, so he just had to find an excuse.
Xiao Baoxin was sitting far away just now. Now that he was close, he could see that Xiao Ning did not look well. Her eyes were green, and even her makeup could not cover it.
The two dowry maids, Xichun and Nianxia, who were brought into the palace by Xiao Ning, were now the palace maids of the Jiaofang Palace. They sat in the room for a while before Nianxia came in with refreshments.
As soon as he placed it properly, he heard the Eldest Princess of Xuan City’s hearty laughter,”
“Did Lady Xiao enter the palace? Why didn’t sister-in-law send someone to call me over?”It was clear that the voice had arrived before the person.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xuan Cheng dressed in a green dress and a dark red cloak. He walked in with his head held high like a gust of wind.
Xiao Ning smiled.” I was thinking of calling you after I talked to my sister-in-law for a while. Let’s have lunch together. Who knew that you’d come over so quickly?””
“I heard it from Chu Jiuniang.”
He did not even address her as Imperial Consort, only as a ranking. From this, it could be seen how much Xuan Cheng did not like Imperial Consort Chu. “You know her too. She’s pretentious and I get impatient when she speaks. I came here before she left.”
“How was it? I did well, didn’t I?”‘
It was not enough to make a ruckus, but it was enough to fight with Empress Xiao.
Xiao Baoxin almost burst out laughing.”
Xiao Ning couldn’t help but laugh.” That’s right, my aunt. I can’t bear to see her get married. Why don’t you stay with me for a few more years?
“That won’t do. There are other things to discuss. I have to be tight when I get married.”Xuan Cheng did not hesitate to reject, not feeling embarrassed at all.”I can’t stand the foul atmosphere in the palace.
Xiao Baoxin’s heart skipped a beat. He had forgotten that Xuan Cheng wanted Xiao Baoshu to propose marriage to the Emperor in advance. He had to inform his mother immediately when he returned to the residence.
just based on the Eldest Princess of Xuancheng’s straightforwardness, it was possible that the entire palace would already know about it.
If the Xiao family were to neglect her, it would make the eldest princess of Xuancheng lose face.
“You.” Empress Xiao was both angry and amused. Suddenly, she let out a cry and frowned.
Xiao Baoxin saw that her expression was not right and quickly asked,”What’s wrong?”
Xiao Ning’s face turned red, but she knew that the day wasn’t right.” Sit down and wait for me, I’ll be right back.” He then called Nianxia over to help her.
Nian Xia had just put down the tea and was about to go out when she heard Empress Xiao call for her. She stepped forward and brushed past Xiao Baoxin’: body.
Suddenly, Xiao Baoxin felt an indescribable sourness, so sharp that her nose was sore, and tears almost flowed down..
