Empress Dowager: Husband, please lie down

Chapter 227 Reasons to Hate Her, and Kiss Mengnan

"I just want to ask, why do you hate the queen so much? I remember that when she first entered the palace, you still liked her very much."

Xiahou Zhu still asked the question in his heart.

My younger sister, although she is a little rude, but she is kind-hearted.Love and hate are clearly displayed, open up to those you like, and never have a good face on those you hate.

She is the same no matter who she is.

Therefore, Xiahou Zhu was very puzzled, how did Empress Shang offend her?Or, did you do something to apologize to her?Why did it make her so disgusted with her?

"Because she's so ugly, and she's so contrived in normal times. She's a typical representative of a sweet-mouthed sword, so I hate her when I see her!"

Xia Houqing rolled her eyes and sneered unabashedly.

She still remembers until now that when she was five years old, she hid in the imperial garden because of her love of play, and the maids could not find her.The palace maids did not dare to alarm the Queen Mother and the first emperor, so they had to first report to Empress Shang, who was the concubine at the time.

Unexpectedly, Empress Shang brought a group of palace people back to the Prince's Palace, and happened to pass by the Imperial Garden.

Hearing the wailing voices of the court ladies saying that the Eleventh Princess could not be found, Empress Shang was very anxious on the surface and ordered everyone around her to help find it quickly, and told not to alarm the Queen Mother and the first emperor, and not even tell the prince that there were other people. , so as not to worry everyone.

A virtuous demeanor who thinks of everyone.

After waiting for the palace people to leave with gratitude, Empress Shang snapped off a crabapple in her hand, gnashed her teeth and tore the petals, and sneered viciously, "Hmph, I thought it was a big deal! But It’s just that I lost a princess, and she’s the one I hate the most! Wouldn’t it be better if I couldn’t find it? Anyway, there is only one pair of chopsticks and one bowl missing in the palace. If it weren’t for her, it would be fine. For the sake of obedience, this princess has already finished her off!"

"If you find it, when you grow up and get married in the future, the crown prince must be the emperor, and this princess is the queen. She wants to get married, and I have to prepare a dowry for her. It's really troublesome!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and whispered to his confidant Lan'er beside him, "Okay, let's go ahead, don't let the father, queen mother and prince know about this matter. Also, you still have to do it, tell me People search carefully and keep their mouths shut!"

Then, with a sneer, he threw the already bare crabapple flower on the ground and walked away.

It just so happened that Xia Houqing was hiding behind the rockery where Empress Shang had just stood, and there was a small cave inside.So she hid here, and the palace people never found her, but she could clearly hear any sound outside.

Before that, Empress Shang always loved her very much in front of others.She also likes this emperor's sister-in-law who has a gentle temperament despite her humble background.

The young Xia Houqing hid behind the rockery for a full two hours. At that time, she was lively, clever, and polite to others. She was not as domineering and willful as she is now.

Growing up in the harem protected by the queen mother, she didn't understand these intrigues and insidious things that could kill people at any time.

Since then, she has learned a lot, and she is even more afraid that if she runs out, Queen Shang will really deal with her behind her back.

In the end, this incident finally alarmed the entire palace, but everyone searched the entire palace but could not find her.In the end, when King Jing brought Xiahou Yin into the palace to discuss matters with the first emperor, Xia Houyin searched everywhere worriedly, and finally found Xia Houqing in the rockery, trembling with fright and tear-stained face.

She didn't tell anyone about this, because she was afraid that Queen Shang, who was good at disguising, would kill her to silence her.

It's just silently making myself stronger, and my temperament has changed a lot.It was also from then on that she completely saw this vicious woman who had a double appearance, and hated her to the bone.

At the same time, she hated all the women in the harem who pretended to be gentle and virtuous.

Fortunately, Ruan Eryue has such a quick temper, and she can get so close to her.

"What's your reason? Alright, alright, what is your reason for breaking into the Imperial Study today?"

Xiahou Zhu shook his head helplessly, waved his hand and said.

Xia Houqing, who was falling into memories, was interrupted by Xiahou Zhu's voice, and suddenly woke up.

Thinking of the purpose of her visit today, Xia Houqing frowned, and said cracklingly, "Brother Huang, why did you send Sister Seventh Emperor to Mengnan Kingdom to marry her?! I heard that the people there are all barbarians, and the country is very It's barren, where people eat raw meat, and even eat people...How could Miss Huang marry into that kind of place..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help dropping a few golden beans.

Although she doesn't like the seventh princess Xia Houxin, she doesn't like such a cowardly woman.But passing by Xia Houxin's dormitory in the morning, and seeing her hugging and crying with her biological mother, the late Emperor Liang, I felt sore eyes.

She knew that she was born of the empress dowager and her brother was the emperor, so she would never get married in the future.

However, seeing that scene, I still feel bad for Xia Houxin.

So, as soon as this sympathy overflowed, the sense of justice in his body burst, and without a word, he came to the imperial study by force, wanting to seek justice for Xia Houxin.

Xiahou Zhu stood up, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, opened the window and stared for a long time, then said earnestly, "Qing'er, it's not that I'm cruel. Although Xin'er is not my own royal sister, she is a bloodline. I don't want to Sending her to get married is just that the things in the court are closely related to the harem."

"Meng Nanguo has repeatedly written to ask for a princess for the newly established Khan, so as to ensure a long-term friendly relationship with Beijun. However, now only Xiner is waiting to marry you in the royal family. If it is not her, it is you. What do you say Said, how can I let you go and kiss Mengnan?"

Xiahou Zhu sighed, and it was rare to show his protection and love for Xiahouqing as an elder brother, "Besides, it is true that Mengnan Kingdom eats raw meat. He is brave and good at fighting. If I refuse blindly, I am afraid it will start a war."

"It's been so hard to keep the people safe for so many years. I really don't want to see the scene of war and disputes again. Moreover, Xin'er has a demure and gentle temperament. Only with this kind of temperament can he survive in Mengnan. If you change your temperament, I'm afraid It will lead to disaster..."

Hearing what Xia Houzhu said, Xia Houqing realized that she had misunderstood him.

However, he really couldn't bear to let Xia Houxin marry Mengnan.It is precisely because of her gentle temperament that she is afraid of Xia Houxin and that she will not be able to survive in Mengnan!

But Xia Houzhu did have his own difficulties. Xia Houqing pondered for a long time, and finally her eyes lit up, she clapped her hands and said, "Brother Huang, I have a solution!"
