Crazy criticizes Emperor Ji for marrying the regent and becoming more powerful

Chapter 4 Kicked Out of the Palace

"Thank you, you look good too."

Faced with Lin Qingyang's praise, Chu Xi also praised her in return.

This time it was Lin Qingyang's turn to be speechless and look at Chu Xi blankly.

Others continued to remain silent, afraid to speak.

Xiao Ruyan's maid Caiyue glanced at her, and then reminded her concubine with her eyes, Xiao Ruyan immediately understood.

"boom!"

Concubine Xiao glared at her angrily:
"Presumptuous! You, a little concubine, can point out the appearance of my concubine and Lin Guifei? How daring! The palace will never allow people like you to continue to exist! Caiyue——"

"My servant is here." Caiyue responded.

"Relegate Chu Xi to a maid and drive her out of the palace!"

Xiao Ruyan couldn't accept that the prince actually brought a little beggar back to the palace and made her a concubine?Does she deserve it?

Chu Xi panicked when she heard Xiao Ruyan's words.

If he was kicked out of the palace, wouldn't he be unable to eat enough?
And she hasn't had breakfast yet, so why not wait until she finishes her breakfast before leaving.

"Concubine, please forgive me! My master also made an unintentional mistake. Moreover, the master was brought back to the palace by the prince himself. If we want to drive the master out of the palace, should we ask the prince for his opinion and wait for the prince to make a decision?"

When Feiyun heard Concubine Xiao's words, she knelt down with a plop and interceded for Chu Xi. She also reminded Concubine Xiao that the prince's treatment of her master was special, not that ordinary concubines could be sold at will.

"How dare you, a lowly servant like me, comment on my decision! Don't forget who is in charge of the palace now, how can a mere lowly servant question my concubine?"

Xiao Ruyan scolded sharply.

Hearing this, Feiyun quickly kowtowed and apologized:
"I don't dare, please forgive Xiao Concubine——"

"Concubine, there is no need to embarrass Feiyun, I will just leave the palace."

No matter how stupid Chu Xi was, she knew that she was deliberately making things difficult for him. She was afraid that she had already thought of how to drive her out of the palace before she came to pay her respects.

It's a pity that I didn't have breakfast. The food in the palace is actually quite good.

"Master, please don't"

"It's okay, I don't belong here."

Any concubine, Di Ji, go to hell!I don’t want to serve you anymore!

Chu Xi showed a relieved smile to Fei Yun and left without looking back.

How could she agree to leave so easily?There must be no fraud!
"Caiyue, follow her to prevent her from disturbing the prince." Xiao Ruyan warned her very uneasily.

"Yes, the servant will go here."

The greetings in the morning ended unhappily.

Back at Luo Xing Pavilion, Fei Yun anxiously said to Huan Yun:
"Master has been kicked out of the house by Concubine Xiao, what should we do now?"

"What? The master was kicked out of the house?"

"Huan Yun, should we go find the prince? Maybe there is still room for redemption!"

"Of course I do. The prince treats his master differently. He will definitely not let the master be kicked out. I will go to the prince to reason with you!"

After saying that, Huan Yun put down the porridge and vegetables he had prepared and ran away.

Huan Yun came to Shengyang Courtyard and was stopped outside by the guards.

"Shengyang Courtyard is not for idlers to enter!" the guard scolded sternly.

"Brother, guard, please go and report that Huanyun from Luo Xing Pavilion is asking to see the prince. He has something important to report to the prince." Huan Yun looked at the guard sincerely, hoping that he would be accommodating.

The guard looked at her carefully, then whispered a few words to another guard, and then went in to report.

Xiahou Qizheng finished changing his court clothes and prepared for breakfast.

"My lord, outside the courtyard I am calling myself Huan Yun, the maid of Luo Xing Pavilion, and I am asking to see my lord."

The guard conveyed Huanyun's original words to him.

Xia Houqi frowned when he heard this:
Could it be that something went wrong with that little girl?
"Let her in."

"Yes."

"Why are you reporting?" Xia Houqi glanced at Huanyun with a hint of concern that he himself was not aware of.

"Go back to your lord, my master was kicked out of the palace by Concubine Xiao, and now he is missing."

Huan Yun knelt on the ground and lowered his head to report to Xia Houqi.

Hearing this, Xia Houqi looked stunned:
"When did it happen?"

"It's been half an hour!"

After hearing this, Xia Houqi immediately called his attendants.

"Taofeng, go and find this person." Xia Houqi ordered coldly.

"Yes."

Chu Xi left the palace hungry and couldn't help being attracted by a bun shop.

"Girl, do you want to try my steamed buns? The skin is thin and the fillings are thick, and they taste good!"

The store owner saw Chu Xi standing at the door for a long time, and then took the initiative to speak.

"How much more will it cost?"

Chu Xi looked at the store carefully. She didn't have a penny on her, but she had several hairpins in her hair, which should be able to exchange for some silver.

"Meat buns cost five cents each, and vegetarian buns cost five cents each."

"I don't have any money with me, is this okay with you?"

She pulled out a hairpin from her head and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The store owner looked at it and looked embarrassed.

"Isn't it enough?" Chu Xi asked hurriedly.

"It's not not enough. This hairpin is too valuable. I can buy all the buns. If it's inconvenient for the girl, just go to the pawn shop in front and pawn the hairpin in exchange for some money. I'll get two buns for the girl first. Girl Give it to the villain in exchange for money."

The store patiently explained to her, returned the hairpin to her, wrapped two large meat buns in oil paper and handed them to Chu Xi.

Chu Xi looked at the store gratefully:
"Thank you, shopkeeper. I'll give it to you after I change the money."

"It's okay, the pawn shop is just in front of the street." The shopkeeper smiled and kindly gave her directions.

Chu Xi nodded, holding the meat buns in her hands, and walked while eating.

"Girl, do you want to use it as jewelry?"

When the pawn shop owner saw Chu Xi, he looked her over thoroughly:
The fabrics on her body and the jewelry on her bun are great!It is estimated that the rich daughter of some family sneaked out to play and did not bring any silver.

"Shopkeeper, how much does this hairpin cost?"

Chu Xi handed the hairpin to the pawnshop owner.

When the pawnshop owner saw the hairpin, his eyes lit up.

This is the finest jasper jade hairpin!

The boss suppressed his inner excitement and made a price:

"This hairpin can only be used as five taels of silver at most, but I think your little girl's family has it, so I'll give it to you as six taels, how about it?"

One tael of silver is equivalent to one thousand coins, a total of six thousand coins, which means that you can buy one thousand two hundred meat buns!

Seeing that Chu Xi remained silent, the pawn shop owner thought that she thought the price was too low, so he tried to increase the price:

"If the girl thinks it's too low, I'll add another tael of silver to the girl, no more!"

"Seven taels? Okay, then I'll take it!"

After a while, Chu Xi walked out of the pawn shop carrying a money bag containing five taels of silver and two coins.

"Shopkeeper, this is ten cents, the same as the money for the buns just now."

She immediately returned to the bun shop and paid back the money she owed for the buns to the boss.

After paying off the debt, Chuxi started thinking about livelihood issues.
