My queen does not compete for favor

Chapter 8

"Serve the tea first, and let the younger sisters take a seat. I'll be there later." Wan Qixiao asked Yunxia to put her hair up in a simple bun, and ate some cakes by herself, before dawdling with Yunxia's support. Ba Jing walked out of the dormitory, and went to see the imperial concubine Yuchi whom she "has been admired for a long time".

With Yunxia's support, Wan Chengxiao just walked to the front door of the front hall, and before he entered, he heard a woman's sharp voice inside: "People's hearts are separated from each other, who knows! When I greeted you last time, I looked at the way she looked at my jade pendant." It’s not right, but this time it’s gone, who knows! This is a treasure bestowed by the late emperor! Back then, the late emperor clearly liked my Zuo family’s daughter and gave it to me. If the emperor hadn’t been young and careless Married in Yun Country, now this position in the middle palace..." Hearing this arrogant tone, there is no doubt that Yan Zhaorong is undoubtedly.

"Hmm." Imperial Concubine Yuchi cleared her throat in displeasure, her Yan Zhaorong immediately became at ease, and she obediently closed her mouth.But the murmurs continued, and a group of beauties from Baolin surrounded her to comfort her.

Wan Qixiao secretly laughed, although this Yan Zhaorong is the daughter of Zuo Xiang's family and the cousin of the most favored Concubine Rou, but he is clearly the kind of person who has guts and no brains, bragging in front of Concubine Yuchi He exalts the Zuo family, belittles others, and even fantasizes about being in the middle palace.But she blatantly framed Zhonggong, and Imperial Concubine Yuchi actually let her do whatever she wanted. This move has some deep meaning, I'm afraid she also wanted to take this opportunity to test the depth of Zhonggong.

Wan Qixiao put away his bloody evil smile, tried his best to put on the upright and generous smile of the female policewoman Flying Eagle, put on a positive posture, and walked in openly.

Seeing Wan Qixiao walk in, a group of women headed by Imperial Concubine Yuchi got up and bowed to her: "See empress."

Wan Qixiao helped Concubine Yuchi in vain: "Excuse me, get up. Sisters, please sit down. I am not in good health, and I am late. Please don't mind my sisters."

All the girls got up one after another, but because Wan Qixiao and Concubine Yuchi were both standing, no one dared to sit down.Imperial Concubine Yuchi was younger than Wan Chengxiao imagined, she was clearly only a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, but her weather-beaten righteousness was definitely obtained from the experience in the military camp.I heard that she was born in Jiangmen, and she was familiar with military books since she was a child. At the age of 12, she was able to make plans to relieve her father's worries. At the age of 15, she quietly went out with her father, and returned with many outstanding achievements. , because the queen was unwell, she was in charge of the sixth palace.

Behind her, the palace lady who never left her face was expressionless, holding the Shuying sword in her hand. This sword was bestowed by the emperor.With a soldier's righteous spirit and the Shuying sword bestowed by the imperial concubine, Imperial Concubine Yuchi managed the harem in an orderly manner, comfortable and harmonious...at least on the surface.

Concubine Yuchi is a straightforward person. Before Wan Qixiao asked her official intentions, she had already bowed her hands and began to sternly state her intentions: "Empress Empress, there is a reason why I am here today. Yan Zhaorong lost a jade pendant yesterday and looked around for it. But I couldn't, I was so anxious, so I asked my palace to come forward to investigate. It is reasonable to disturb the empress with such small things, but this jade pendant is a gift from the former emperor, and it is of great significance not to kneel after seeing it. No one can bear the responsibility of losing it. So we have to start with a strict investigation, and as the lord of the six palaces, the empress should lead by example, and the first thing to do is to eliminate the suspicion."

Simply put, they were the first to search her middle palace.There was a flash of hostility in Wan Qixiao's eyes.But he calmed down quickly, and immediately put on a frown and displeasure, and pondered: "This... I'm afraid it's not convenient."

"Why is it inconvenient? Don't you have something shameful that you dare not show us?" Yan Zhaorong immediately yelled.

"Yan Zhaorong, please pay attention to your wording!" Concubine Yuchi's face darkened and stopped Yan Zhaorong, and she turned to face Wan Qixiao, with a troubled expression on her face, "Empress, please understand me, I am really sorry. It’s just a matter of desperation to make this decision.”

"Young Concubine Yuchi, it's not that I don't understand you, it's that if I let you search like this, the middle palace will lose face. The things bestowed by the former emperor are lost, but they go directly to my middle palace to look for them... At least I should give it to you." Let me explain to the palace." Although a woman who has been given a palace by the emperor can call herself the palace, it depends on who she is dealing with.In front of the queen, he still called himself Bengong, either because he was too strict and did not know how to adapt, or because he was too strong to provoke Hou Wei.So Wan Qixiao is not polite.

"The empress clearly has a ghost in her heart and deliberately made things difficult, so she won't let us search!" Yan Zhaorong said, the more she spoke, the more annoying she became.Wan Qixiao's face has turned from sunny to cloudy.Whether she is Wan Qixiao or Mo Qixiao is still alive, she might be angry here.What did you say!

Imperial Concubine Yuchi was originally blocked by Wan Qixiao and she couldn't speak, but this Yan Zhaorong didn't know what to do and yelled indiscriminately. The imperial concubine Yuchi felt angry, so she pulled Yan Zhaorong forcefully, and pressed her to kneel down towards Wan Qixiao , raised his head and looked directly into Wan Chengxiao's eyes, and said sonorously: "Empress Empress, I did not think carefully about what I did, but it was really helpless and I made such a mistake to find a needle in a haystack. Please forgive me. As for the face of the middle palace, wait for the investigation. After Zhonggong is cleared of all suspicions, Bengong and Yan Zhaorong are willing to receive [-] boards each to punish Zhonggong for disturbing Zhonggong."

Speaking of this, we have reached a dead end, and there is no room for maneuver.Wan Chengxiao looked at the woman kneeling in front of him with an upright face, and he missed the days of fighting wits and courage with the female policewoman Feiying a little bit.Although they have two faces, the upright and unyielding expression on that face is quite similar.She shook her head and smiled slightly: "Concubine Yuchi is just acting justly to help Yan Zhaorong retrieve the lost jade pendant, so this responsibility should not be shouldered by Concubine Yuchi anyway." Nonsense, if you really beat Concubine Yuchi , then the rift between them must have been settled.

And Yan Zhaorong, who was kneeling at the side, was overjoyed when he heard that there was a lot to be done in the search, nodded and shouted: "Okay! Nothing to do with Imperial Concubine Yuchi! If Zhonggong is cleared of the suspicion, I will voluntarily be beaten with [-] boards and give Zhonggong an explanation! "Just by listening to the wording, you can hear her determination to win this planting.Concubine Yuchi pleaded guilty with "wait" for the palace to clear the suspicion; but she used "if".

"Since Yan Zhaorong has made up his mind so much, it seems unreasonable for me not to show you any more inspections. Then, please go ahead." Wan Qixiao called out all the palace people in the middle palace and lined up in three rows in the outer palace , without interfering with their search, the whole palace waited outside for the search results of Concubine Yuchi and the others.
