Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 572 While Planning

The news that Xia Longyu was back as the Jade King was spread throughout Xia Kingdom in less than an hour, and everyone cheered for it.

Xia Longyu, who returned to the Jade King, took care of the affairs in the palace properly, even the porridge shed before was guarded, and the master of the school was he who found other masters to teach.

The reason he did this was to let all the common people know that even if Xia Longyu became the Jade King, he still cared about them.

Such an approach undoubtedly added impression points to Xia Longyu and won the hearts of the people.

As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

On the other side, Ningguo.

Jing Ning was dealing with affairs in the Imperial Study Room, and Xiao Lin was also sleeping on the soft bed beside him. Now that he has gotten to know Jing Ning well, he clings to Jing Ning every day. He will follow her wherever she goes. In the end, she has no choice but to go wherever she goes. Take him with you.

If it wasn't for the fact that Xiao Lin's IQ is only like that of a three-year-old child, Jing Ning would have thought that someone had switched her husband and made her so clingy that she couldn't get rid of her no matter how hard she tried.

At this moment, a hidden guard came in, he didn't see Xiao Lin on the slump, but only saw Jing Ning who was sitting, "Qiu Yan pays his respects to the princess."

Jing Ning stopped writing and looked up, "What's the matter?"

"The spies came to report, and there was news from Xia Guo that Xia Longyu had resumed her status as Jade King, and the next thing needs to be the cooperation of the princess." Qiu Yan said seriously.

"How can we cooperate?" Jing Ning turned his head and glanced at Xiao Lin, who was still sleeping soundly.

"Jade King only said to let the princess wait."

"Understood, let's go!" Jing Ning nodded and said calmly.

When Qiu Yan turned to leave, he suddenly saw Xiao Lin who was lying down. The former was startled, and walked out in silence.

In fact, Xiao Lin listened to the conversation between Qiu Yan and Jing Ning. The moment Qiu Yan came in, Xiao Lin woke up, but he didn't open his eyes.

Jing Ning didn't know about this, and her mind was on correcting the memorial.

Xiao Lin opened his eyes and looked at Jing Ning, who was working hard, feeling distressed and happy at the same time, his Ning'er is always so capable!

In order not to expose herself, Xiao Lin closed her eyes again, the feeling of sleeping after eating is still very good.

……

Xia Guo, Nanlanyuan.

In the current palace, Xia Longyu can be said to come and go freely, no one has ever stopped him, everyone said in private that he is the next emperor, even though he is only the Jade King now.

In order to curry favor with Xia Longyu, all the maids and eunuchs in Nanlanyuan turned a blind eye to his intrusion.

Nanlanyuan is the empress... no, it should be said that the first empress, that is, the place where Xia Yinhu's mother lived.

Since Xia Yinhu disappeared, Empress Xian ate fast and chanted Buddha all day long, praying for Xia Yinhu's early return.

And this South Orchid Garden, without notification, you can't come in at will. Even the first emperor came in, someone notified... But Xia Longyu walked in blatantly.

"My son pays homage to the queen mother." Xia Longyu grinned and bowed to the queen's back.

Empress Xian's back stiffened when she heard Xia Longyu's voice, but she didn't turn her head back, "Jade King trespassed into Nanlanyuan without notification, it's really lawless."

Xia Longyu smiled instead of anger, "Mother, it was the minister who asked them not to report. The son came here this time because he wanted to catch up with the mother."

The last three words "reminiscing about the past", Xia Longyu's tone was yin and yang, but hearing it made the Queen's back shudder.

The former empress turned around, her face was haggard, her face without makeup was sallow, her originally black hair was mixed with a few shining white hairs... the current her, and the high-spirited and ruthless empress back then If you want to compare, they are simply two looks.

"The Jade King speaks directly, there is no need to beat around the bush." ​​The Empress Xian's eyes were dull, but she kept looking at Xia Longyu.

Xia Longyu glanced at the maids guarding around, "There are so many people here, I'm afraid it's hard for Er Chen to say that!"

When Empress Xian heard Xia Longyu's words, her face was solemn. She didn't know what kind of medicine he sold in the gourd, but she always felt that his words would not be good.

"Go down!" Empress Xian ordered the maid behind her.

"Yes." The maids retreated slowly.

After all the servants had left, Xia Longyu restrained her smile and said indifferently, "I heard that Brother Huang hasn't disappeared yet?"

"Jade King, I'm afraid you know this better than the Ai family!" The first queen said in a strange way.

"Oh?" Xia Longyu chuckled, and then continued: "I really don't want to hide it from my mother, Yu'er does know the whereabouts of the emperor's brother."

"What? Where is Hu'er? Are you playing tricks?" Empress Xian's original strange expression became agitated after hearing Xia Longyu's words.

Hearing her questioning words, Xia Longyu laughed, and took out something from his bosom, "I don't know if this belongs to Brother Huang?"

That thing was indeed the white jade longevity lock that Xia Yinhu had been carrying all along. The first empress put it on him after he was full moon, but the original owner of the longevity lock was not the first empress.

"This is Hu'er's... It's you, you must have taken Hu'er away!" Empress Xian couldn't control the impulse in her heart any longer, she reached out her hand and was about to slap Xia Longyu's face.

Xia Longyu grabbed her wrist, and said in a cold tone, "Mother, are you sure this belongs to the emperor?"

Hearing this, Empress Xian was taken aback, because his words had double meanings, she couldn't help but panic, Xia Longyu absolutely couldn't find out about that matter, she did it very secretly...

"This is indeed Hu'er's!" Empress Xian broke away from Xia Longyu's hand, turned her back to him and said.

"Really? Then this longevity lock is really a coincidence, it's exactly the same as the one I wore when I was a child." Xia Longyu laughed, and his laughter made people feel cold after hearing it.

Feeling the chill around her, Empress Xian couldn't help but rubbed her arms, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"My son just wanted to tell my mother that this game has started... My mother will watch the show first." Xia Longyu said meaningfully, he didn't specify, but just gave her a time to think about it.

After Xia Longyu finished speaking, she walked away directly, regardless of why she stood there in a daze.

"Come here, freshen up, I'm going to see the first emperor." After Xia Longyu left, she said through gritted teeth.

The maids filed in and began to dress up the former queen.

And here, after Xia Longyu left Nanlanyuan, she went to Qinglai Palace, this palace is the bedroom of the East Palace, and now the former Princess Laixia lived in it, and she was going to give birth in a few days.

The disappearance of Xia Yinhu, the discomfort of being pregnant for ten months, and the gossip from the maids and eunuchs behind her back made Lai Xia now very irritable, and her mood was uncertain.

Therefore, the entire Qinglai Palace did not dare to get too close to the palace, for fear of becoming a target if they were not careful.
