My wife has a secret

Chapter 91 Choice
Not to mention Shen Shuangxu or Qin Shuying, Xu Qing felt that the young woman in front of him was simple-minded, not even as scheming and power-hungry as Empress Gongsun.

To be honest, the other person is more like my... mother?
"Qing'er, if you continue like this... Auntie will really be angry."

Forced by the gradually condensing air, Xu Qing had to lower his head and call her aunt.

"aunt."

Hearing this long-lost address, Queen Mother Xu smiled and let go of her hand.

When Xu Qing left the other's arms, he was shocked to find that the softest part was actually the proud snow-capped peak.

Now that the two of them had left, the fruit was shaking, and it was so shaking that Xu Qing couldn't open his eyes.

He had his head lowered, so he was able to see the exaggerated beauty and take in the whole picture.

What made Xu Qing's breathing particularly rapid was the sharp corners of the lotus.

"Qing'er, when my aunt was selected as a concubine and entered the palace, you were only as tall as my elbow... I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have grown so big."

Although Queen Mother Xu did not hug Xu Qing again, she held his hand and said with nostalgia: "Aunt brought you up from the cradle. You are almost grown up, but I didn't see you have your coming-of-age ceremony."

Xu Qing did not answer because he had no recollection of what happened before.

Empress Dowager Xu seemed very happy and continued, "Aunt thought about you every moment in the palace. Later, she finally got the opportunity to visit her parents, but you were angry at her for leaving without saying goodbye, so you went out and hid for a long time."

"sorry."

Xu Qing didn't know what to say and apologized in a low voice.

Empress Dowager Xu looked at him tenderly, shook her head and smiled, "Silly boy, why are you apologizing to your aunt... You are the person that your aunt cherishes the most, and nothing you do is wrong. But Qing'er has really grown up and understands a lot of things."

Empress Dowager Xu’s smile was warm, like the rising sun that soothes people’s hearts.

Her repeated comforts made Xu Qing feel a little embarrassed.

Clearly, he had traveled through time and space and occupied her nephew's body, but he didn't expect that Empress Dowager Xu had no doubts about him, and gave him all the tenderness and patience she had for her relatives.

"The clothes Qing'er is wearing are quite fitting."

When Xu Qing heard this, he subconsciously glanced at the clothes on his body.

He suddenly realized that the clothes he was wearing were still the bright yellow imperial robe that Empress Gongsun had asked him to change into.

This is the emperor's attire!

"Cough cough..."

Xu Qing coughed twice and replied with a red face: "Aunt, this is not what I want to wear. I was forced to change into this dress in order to stabilize Empress Gongsun..."

Empress Dowager Xu purged her political enemies, even the young emperor of the Great Qi royal family, for the sake of the ultimate throne.

If I had shown interest in the throne, this seemingly affectionate aunt-nephew relationship might have ended.

"Qing'er, what are you explaining? Just wear it if you want to. You can live in Feishuang Palace tonight. I will tell the eunuchs and palace maids to call you emperor."

Queen Mother Xu did not show any concern about the matter. Her face was calm and casual.

"Or... Qing'er will go to live in the East Palace in a few days, and my aunt will announce to the world that you are the successor."

Xu Qing was almost scared to death by Empress Dowager Xu's idea. He was originally a man without any ambition.

When he suddenly heard that Queen Mother Xu wanted to make him the crown prince, he was really afraid that everyone in the world would spit at him and drown him.

Even if Queen Mother Xu herself didn't mind, how could the world allow a playboy from a noble family to become the crown prince of Qi? Not to mention that his last name was not Li, and he had nothing to do with the royal family of Li Qi. "Aunt, don't joke with Qing'er. I know my own weight. I am not presentable enough to bear such a heavy burden."

What Xu Qing said was also from his heart, because he was not too cunning and could not fight against those foxes in the court.

Not to mention that he knew nothing about government affairs, and everything he had thought of before was just copied from his previous life's experience.

If we really push him up, the consequences can be imagined.

Compared to being the crown prince or emperor, he would rather live a carefree, wealthy and leisurely life.

"If you don't want to do it, your aunt won't force you."

After Empress Dowager Xu said this, she suddenly changed her tone and lowered her voice.

"Qing'er, I have neglected to take care of you in the past few years, and I have arranged several marriages for you without asking for your wishes in advance... Which of these ladies do you like and which do you dislike?"

Xu Qing didn't expect that Empress Dowager Xu would shift the topic to this aspect. He was about to answer when he smelled something strange.

The other party's question sounded like the concern of an elder, but there was an inexplicable coldness in that beautiful face.

Especially when she talked about what she didn't like, her pupils narrowed unconsciously, with a gleam inside.

"What did aunt mean?"

Xu Qing couldn't figure out the Queen Mother Xu's true intention, so he had to ask her directly.

As expected, Empress Dowager Xu was very considerate of him and did not hide her thoughts from him. She said, "Aunt wants to ask you, which one of them do you want to keep? Which one do you not want to keep?"

Seeing Xu Qing lost in thought, Empress Dowager Xu continued, "Aunt has heard about what happened in recent days and knows that you have suffered a lot... But after spending so much time with them, you should have a general understanding of them and understand the personalities of these women."

"Um……"

Shen Shuangxu knew exactly what was happening to him, not to mention Empress Dowager Xu, who was at the pinnacle of power in the Great Qi Dynasty and ranked above everyone else.

Xu Qing believed that all the information and information about himself had been sorted out and placed in front of the empress dowager.

So he no longer hesitated to hide the truth and just responded.

"The fourth wife you insisted on marrying before, apart from what happened in Suzhou and her identity as the courtesan of Wangyue Tower, was actually a disciple of the sword dance master Gongsun, and is considered a leader in the way of swordsmanship."

Xu Qing was startled by the last few sentences and opened his mouth wide.

At the same time, he realized how stupid he was to go and confront Qin.

If the other party becomes desperate, you will be a dead body.

"Although Qin Shuying's feelings for you are limited, she is actually a good tool. And after what happened in Suzhou, she knows that she can't survive in the world on her own... Of course, my aunt's ideas are about the power of the emperor, which is not applicable to ordinary people. If you think she is not honest, just kill her."

Xu Qing was frightened and felt a chill on his back.

Just now I thought that Queen Mother Xu was gentle, considerate and understanding, but who would have thought that just a moment later, she would show her fangs on this issue.

"When you were captured, Qin Shi dealt with the descendants of those noble ministers on my behalf, and even went deep into the palace, hoping to take you out."

After listening to Empress Dowager Xu, Xu Qing gradually understood what Fourth Housewife Qin Shuying was thinking.

This woman must have felt that after the fall of the Xu family, the events in the court would implicate herself, which is why she spared no effort to rescue herself.
