The world is heavy and late

Chapter 100 Malfeasance
Xia Qing stayed in bed as usual, but she always felt that there were always people talking outside the house today.

She sat up a little irritable, but felt that she didn't get enough sleep at all. She ground her teeth fiercely, thinking that getting up to get angry is a good habit, and she should cultivate it in the future.

Qiao Huan outside the door did not listen to the persuasion of the other maids, and had no intention of calling Xia Qing at all. After hearing some movement in the room, she knocked on the door lightly and said, "Auntie, are you going to wake up?"

When Xia Qing heard this in the door, she sighed a bit, why was she, a court lady, treated like the master.This is the way one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

Xia Qing said weakly: "Is it very lively outside?"

Qiao Huan's face remained unchanged and he said: "The chief of ceremonies and many female officials of the chief of ceremonies have arrived, saying that they want to see your empress."

Xia Qing said expressionlessly: "And then?"

Qiao Huan: "I was stopped by Eunuch Xiang, saying that the imperial concubine is not feeling well, and she needs to calm down to raise the baby. I have something to tell you, aunt."

Xia Qing nodded, and found that no one could see, sighed that he was really hungry, so he said: "Bring me my breakfast, I'm going to wash up."

In the outer hall of Weiyang Palace, several female officials were facing Gonggong Xiang with cold faces: "Eunuch, get out of the way as soon as possible. I am here to visit the imperial concubine. If you stop me like this, you will miss a major event. What should you do?"

Eunuch Xiang's face didn't change and he said: "Oh, didn't the miscellaneous family say that, please wait a moment, my lords, our mother is having a baby. If there is something to do, our Aunt Xia Qing will come later, you can just talk to her explain."

A round-faced female officer snorted and said: "You slave said that half an hour ago, and now I haven't seen anyone come out, maybe you, a slave, are blocking you, and you don't want everyone to visit your mother."

Another thin and tall female officer also stood up and said: "If we have something to report now, don't you slave stop us."

After talking, they prepared to cross Xiang Cang and walk in.

The smile on Xiang Cang's face gradually faded, and with a wave of his hand back, some servants came out with sticks and blocked the way of these female officials.

The group of female officials were furious, they turned around and asked sharply, "Do you dare to lynch in the palace?"

Eunuch Xiang also looked at them angrily, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

At this moment, a voice came from Weiyang Palace: "Everyone, come back."

Hearing Xia Qing's voice, Xiang Cang snorted coldly, and waved his hand, and the servants retreated.

Eunuch Xiang also turned into the hall and supported Xia Qing at the entrance of the hall. Xia Qing watched him twitch his mouth, but still put his hand on his arm.

All the female officials saw a very young court lady, followed by another court lady, and Xiang Gonggong, who was so proud just now, is now so attentive, and asked, "Who are you?"

Xia Qing stood under the eaves, covered his eyes slightly with his hands and glanced at the sun in the sky, and said to Qiao Huan, "Go and bring the stool."

Xia Qing was a little unhappy. It was really hot today, and his reputation was really small. Fortunately, after this wave, everyone should know about it.

She put down her hand, scanned her eyes for a week, and then said, "Slave Xia Qing."

Someone asked: "Are you the aunt in charge of Weiyang Palace?"

Xia Qing nodded slightly and said, "It's me, what's the matter, my lords?"

There was a flash of disdain in that person's eyes, then he raised his chin and said: "I am the envoy of the Secretary of Rites, I want to see the imperial concubine, please don't stop me."

Xia Qing smiled indifferently, thinking that these people are really interesting. In this era, they dare to make troubles when the superiors decide.

No wonder the emperor doesn't like the family, you say you are the emperor, everyone is afraid of the concubines from the family, not at all the concubine appointed by His Majesty, it's no wonder that such an emperor would like the family.

She put her hands behind her back slightly, wondering why Qiao Huan hadn't moved the stool over yet, she was so tired standing up.While thinking about it, he said indifferently: "Oh? Are all the people here belong to Si Lisi?"

Someone from Ma Shan said: "Miss, the master of ceremonies, is also here to pay respects to the imperial concubine."

……

Xia Qing, who had listened for a while, found that the place was full of ceremonies, Gong Zhengsi, and ceremonies, and none of the other three.

She somewhat understood that these people were probably here to "persuade".

She lowered her eyelids and thought for a while, the excitement is only for people to watch, so she said to Mrs Xiang: "Go and invite the master of ceremonies, Xu Sizheng, the chief of ceremonies, Luo Sizheng, and Gong Zhengsi, Hu Sizheng. Let them take off-duty female officers."

Glancing at Eunuch Xiang, who was secretly excited, Eunuch Xiang wanted to sigh, maybe everyone likes to sigh after staying with Xia Qing for a long time, but they still bowed down and went.

All the female officials felt a little bad when they heard Xia Qing's words. Several of them looked at each other anxiously, and then one of them said: "Xia Qing, you stop the female officials from seeing the noble concubine, don't you mean to ruin the noble concubine? reputation?"

Xia Qing continued to put her hands behind her back, without any intention of getting angry at the accusation, she said: "Did the adults not listen to what you said when you went back? The affairs of the Six Palaces are now fully in charge of the slaves, and the noble concubine is now having a baby. You must force it now." Chuang, do you want to harm the emperor's heir?"

It's like splashing dirty water, looking at who can't, Xia Qing doesn't want to, but she rarely loses in verbal battles, um, occasionally she loses to Eunuch Xu.

Thinking of Eunuch Xu, Xia Qing said in his heart: I miss Eunuch Xu every day, and the task is completed.

The person got angry when she heard this, her face was full of anger, her voice was also full of anger, she said loudly: "Don't talk nonsense, we have something important to complain about."

Xia Qing was a little speechless and said: "Don't you understand the four words of full authority? Shouldn't the Secretary of Rites and the female officials all be literate?"

The man said: "I'm afraid that you can't be the master of this matter."

Xia Qing: ...I really don't understand these four words. Xia Qing thinks that the imperial palace literacy class can also be planned.

Xia Qing's heart is very lively, but his face is still calm and authentic: "It's up to me whether I can do it or not, and what you say doesn't matter."

After finishing speaking, Qiao Huan also came back, Xia Qing turned around and immediately forgave Qiao Huan for being away for so long.

Because she not only served tea, but also brought people to a low table with some snacks on it.

Xia Qing nodded in satisfaction, then said to Qiao Huan in a serious manner, "You have great potential."

Speaking of this, Xia Qing really moved a little bit, so he said, "Do you want to go to the Sixth Division?"

Everyone watched Xia Qing start to eat tea and snacks, but they didn't care about them at all. They were all furious and wanted to go in directly, but they were all stopped by the servants.

But Xia Qing talked about Qiao Huan's important affairs with Qiao Huan, and she asked, "You are so careful and steady, I think Siwu is very suitable for you."

Qiao Huan still lowered her head, but also smiled lightly because of being praised, and she said: "I want to stay in Weiyang Palace."

Xia Qing said: "Being a female official is much better than being a court lady, otherwise you can see why they came, isn't it because they can't let go of the things in their hands?"

Qiao Huan lowered her head, no one could see her expression, but she could only hear her saying: "Didn't my aunt also become a female officer?"

Xia Qing laughed and said, "I'm going out of the palace to get married in the future, and you're going out of the palace too?"

Before Qiao Huan could answer, he heard a commotion outside, Xiang Cang came with a large group of people.

This time, Xia Qing didn't get up, and sat firmly on the stool, looking at the people who came over.

Seeing this appearance, Hu Sizheng sighed deeply in his heart, thinking that this matter could not just be like this, so he bowed slightly and said, "Aunt Xia Qing."

Xu Sizheng, who was behind him, was still a little stunned to be Sizheng overnight, but followed Hu Sizheng and bowed slightly: "Aunt Xia Qing."

Xu Si knew Xia Qing exactly. Although she didn't have a deep impression, she took everyone under her wing when they were trained in Qinghe Hall. She naturally knew that she had reversed her identity when she didn't want to see each other again.

Xia Qing found that Luo Sizheng was not inside, so he asked, "Where is Mr. Luo Sizheng?"

Xiang Cang lowered his head and said, "Luo Si is saying that he can't get away."

Xia Qing smiled, she stood up and bowed slightly to Hu Sizheng and Xu Sizheng: "Hu Sizheng, this matter is up to you and Silusi, I wonder if Silu Sizheng has chosen? "

Hu Sizheng had a sullen face, calling Luo Yin a fool in his heart, he only dealt with someone yesterday, and he didn't know that this one was lawless?
So he said: "Today I only have time to look at the candidate for Si Zheng, the Secretary of Affairs, and the Secretary of Rites has not yet been finalized."

Xia Qing said: "It's okay, then Hu Sizheng will do it for me first, I want to see Luo Sizheng in two quarters of an hour."

Hu Sizheng nodded, and sent someone to arrest him, yes, arrest him.

It is dereliction of duty and a serious crime in the palace to refuse to return after being summoned by a superior.
