Don’t Mess with the Tough Lady

When Du Qingheng was distracted, Du Xuechun suddenly spoke to the people sitting below.

"Just now, my sister, Concubine Liang, said that the Du family would donate 500,000 taels of silver."

As soon as these words came out, all the people sitting below were stunned. Five hundred thousand taels was too much, and they didn't know how to deal with them.

Du Xuechun, who was awakened by Du Xuechun's five hundred thousand taels, suddenly said, "Empress, you..."

She obviously didn't say such a thing, and Du Xuechun did it on purpose.

Seeing Du Qingheng like this, Du Xuechun raised her eyebrows instead and smiled, "Huh? The concubine Liang is so generous, and she has to take fifty thousand taels of silver from her palace? What a good example."

Du Qingheng was even more angry. He glanced at the people around him. Everyone bowed their heads, not daring to participate in the fight between the two of them.

"emperor--"

Du Xuechun pulled Feng Xuan Che's sleeves, and said with a slightly charming voice: "The emperor, my sister is kind-hearted. Although my aunt has passed away, she also has frontier soldiers in her heart, you see?"

"I know what the queen means. It's been some time since Concubine Liang entered the palace. Why should I be promoted to Concubine Liang? As for Madam Du who has passed away, how about a madam of the first grade?"

"The concubines thank you, the emperor."

Du Xuechun pretended to be very happy, and smiled at Du Qingheng by the way.

Du Qingheng clenched her palm tightly, why didn't she know that this was Du Xuechun's strategy, slapped and gave a sweet date.

"Niangniang, don't thank you." Mu Shen, the little **** who followed Du Qingheng, reminded her carefully.

Then, Du Qingheng finally recovered. Yes, it's done, she can't beat the emperor in the face of so many people.

In this harem, if there is no favor of the emperor, then there must be sufficient status.

"The concubine, thank you, the emperor." Du Qingheng finally bowed to Feng Xuanche to thank you.

"Since the Queen and Concubine Liang gave you a good start, you can go and register on the sidelines. We and the soldiers will remember the wishes of the ladies and adults."

Today, the ultimate goal of Du Xuechun's flower appreciation banquet has also been achieved.

Most of the people in the capital are women in charge, so they naturally have enough power to speak in terms of money, and on the other side, women do not have the courage of men and are easier to use.

"The queen is a good strategy." Feng Xuanche nodded at Du Xuechun. Although she had guessed what Du Xuechun did before, she was still shocked by her step by step today.

Du Xuechun smiled, "Actually, the concubines only have the cooperation of others."

In the past two days, when Du Xuechun had nothing to do, he personally wrote a letter to the house of a woman who has a soldier in the court house. As for the content, it is naturally helpful to today's behavior.

Not far away, Xue Lan was watching Du Xuechun and Feng Xuanche in a daze, but even so, her hands were full of sweat.

"Miss Xue?"

Xue Ning had called Xue Lan several times, but the people beside him seemed to be distracted very seriously, so he didn't notice him at all.

Finally, Xue Ning couldn't help but push Xue Lan.

"Huh?" Xue Lan returned to his senses.

"Miss Xue seems to be nervous and a little scared?" Xue Ning lowered his head, making it difficult to see his expression.

Xue Lan was stunned. She felt that the person next to her seemed to be spying on her.

When she just wanted to leave, Xue Ning on the side said again: "Don't move."

Upon hearing this, Xue Lan was stunned.

After a long while, he finally recovered.

"My lord, what on earth do you want to do?" Xue Lan adjusted his hair unnaturally.

Xue Ning curled his lips and smiled, with a look of sideways in his eyes, and then he raised his head to look at a person not far away.

He obviously didn't move his mouth, but there was still a voice coming out.

"I know what Miss Xue is afraid and worried about. Don't worry, I will protect Miss Xue."

"You?" Xue Lan's eyes widened, does he know?

"I don't know what you are talking about." Xue Lan lowered his head, and there was an obvious panic in his expression.

Xue Ning saw the little woman next to her who would not hide her appearance, and chuckled, "Listen to me, pretend that nothing happened, continue to do what you should do, and I will take care of everything."

"My lord, can you take it seriously?" Xue Lan turned around in surprise, focusing on the food box between himself and Xue Ning. "What if my purpose is a queen empress?"

"Because it's you, so I won't stop, go."

It seems to outsiders that the two did not have any communication, but in fact, every sentence of Xue Ning fell into Xue Lan's ears.

Because it's her, don't you stop?

Xue Lan thought, she had already stepped forward to the empress's empress Du Xuechun and knelt down.

"Queen Niangniang, this is a cake specially prepared by the courtier for the empress outside the palace. I hope the empress will like it."

After speaking, Du Xuechun nodded and motioned Mingying to take it.

Xue Lan's hands were trembling non-stop, and she was holding the box tightly, unwilling to let go.

"Manny..."

When Xue Lan was very tangled in his heart, Xue Ning stood up, and he walked to Xue Lan's side with a glass of wine.

"Queen Niangniang, Weichen wants to toast the Queen Niangniang with a glass of wine. I wonder if Niangniang can give the minister this opportunity?"

Du Xuechun felt a little inexplicable, and then turned his gaze to Feng Xuan Che who was aside. Who knew that Feng Xuan Che also nodded.

Some doubts grew in her mind.

Different from Feng Xuanche in the past, Xue Ning who suddenly appeared in the harem today, and Xue Lan, who has always been very strange...

Du Xuechun suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. She stared wide and looked at Xue Lan who was standing below the stage.

Xue Lan, in a moon-white dress, is usually gentle and generous, but today she seems to be afraid of something and keeps her head down.

"Of course." Du Xuechun thought, maybe something must have happened to Xue Lan.

When Xue Ning passed by Xue Lan, she seemed to accidentally bump into Xue Lan, and then a word fell into her ear.

"Well, you have to find out who is behind the scenes for the empress."

It seemed to be a sigh, and a whisper.

It turned out that he knew everything. He knew that he entered the palace today because of being threatened, and he knew that he had deliberately let him know that she was being threatened.

Those people intimidated her father, she really had no choice.

Xue Lan suddenly raised his head to look at the somewhat thin but secure and full back, and finally made a decision in his heart.

No matter what the result is, she can bear it. For example, give all trust to Xue Ning, an outsider.

"The queen is pregnant, I will drink this glass of wine with Aiqing."
