Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

Zhao Jingwan looked around again, seeing that King Jin was really not there, and seeing that everyone saw her frightened face, she also left without saying anything.

She knew that this cousin, King Jin, was afraid of her since she was a child, and of course the reason was also her.

At that time, King Jin was only less than four years old, his mother and concubine had just passed away due to illness, and the emperor was busy with political affairs, so he had no time to take care of King Jin.

It is true that even if the emperor is not busy with political affairs, he has no time to pay attention to King Jin.

King Jin's mother was originally a low-born maid surnamed Xu in the empress dowager's palace, but because the emperor was drunk and admitted to the wrong person, she had an affair overnight, so she was not even given a position.

Later, it was the empress dowager who inadvertently found out that she had a dragon heir in her womb before she was named a beauty. After she gave birth to King Jin, the empress dowager raised her status to a noble person.

However, even if they give birth to a prince and become a nobleman, they will not live well in this harem without being favored by the emperor. Even the eunuchs and court ladies dare to bully their mother and child at will.

Xu Guiren worried about his son all the time, and soon became ill, and died of illness within a few years.

The empress dowager was kind-hearted, thinking that after all Xu Guiren belonged to her palace, and that King Jin was her grandson, she ordered someone to bring King Jin to Ciqing Palace to be raised by her.

King Jin, who has just arrived at Ciqing Palace, is young but has a cautious personality and is extremely sensible.

But no matter how sensible he was, he was just a young child, and the maid who was sent by the Queen Mother to serve him found that King Jin would secretly hide under the quilt and cry every night, and he never had a smile on his face during the day.

The Empress Dowager thought that going on like this was not an option, so she ordered someone to go to the Marquis of Changxing to bring Zhao Jingwan into the palace and be a companion for King Jin.

Zhao Jingwan has always had a lively temperament since she was a child, so naturally she can't see King Jin's frowning temperament all day long.

After comforting her a few times to no avail, she directly hit King Jin with a club, until King Jin no longer dared to cry like that, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

Therefore, King Jin was also beaten by Zhao Jingwan since he was a child, and it was not until the Queen Mother sent him to the south to study at Bailu Academy a few years ago that he escaped Zhao Jingwan's stick.

Although he has now been crowned king, his expression changed after hearing Zhao Jingwan's name.

Princess Anning sent someone to inform Princess Qi who was waiting for them to go back in the conservatory in the Royal Garden, while Qi Qingxi and the others went straight back to Chengqian Palace.

When they returned to Chengqian Palace, it was just in time for lunch, and after Princess Qi also returned to Chengqian Palace, everyone was ready to take their seats.

"I heard that you slapped Siyu in the imperial garden?" Concubine Xian looked at Qi Qingxi and said in a casual voice.

Princess An Ning thought that Concubine Xian was the villain who had listened to the thoughtful words and complained first, so she wanted to explain the truth: "Mother Concubine, it was the thoughtful words, she first..."

Concubine Xian glanced over, and An Ning swallowed her unfinished words abruptly.

Qi Qingxi immediately knelt down and saluted: "Go back to Madam, there is indeed such a thing."

Zhao Jingwan kept twisting the handkerchief in one hand, very worried about Qi Qingxi.

After all, Shen Siyu is the niece of Concubine Xian, while Qi Qingxi is just an unmarried cousin and niece, and Concubine Xian loved Shen Siyu so much in the past, she was afraid that Concubine Xian would punish Qi Qingxi.

Concubine Xian glanced at Qi Qingxi who was kneeling on the ground, shook her sleeves and sat at the head of the dining table, and the female officer next to her immediately ordered the maids below to pass the meal.

Concubine Xian took the hot towel handed over by the little palace maid and wiped her hands: "Get up, come sit down and eat."

Qi Qingxi raised her head slightly and looked at Concubine Xian with a slightly surprised expression.

"What? Do you not want to get up or eat?" Concubine Xian put down the towel in her hand and said softly.

Mrs. Wang also took the towel handed over by the maid and said with a smile, "Okay, hurry up and sit down, otherwise the food will be cold before you start eating."

Qi Qingxi stood up quickly.

An Ning also saw that the concubine mother was just asking casually, and didn't mean to ask for guilt, so she also pushed Qi Qingxi and Zhao Jingwan to sit down at the dinner table with a smile on her face.

A very peaceful meal.

But what puzzled Qi Qingxi was that they never saw Shen Siyu again until they left.

At first she thought that Shen Siyu would come back one step ahead of them, and would seize the opportunity to sue Concubine Xian, but in the end she didn't even see anyone.

Of course, this situation is the best, saving a lot of disputes and troubles.

There was one more thing that puzzled her.

She thought that Concubine Xian would ask her something when she was summoned into the palace this time, or that she would have something to explain to her, but she didn't say anything superfluous except sitting together for a meal.

Even after lunch, she asked a female officer beside her to send them out of Chengqian Palace, and even Princess An Ning who wanted to stay with her was kicked out.

After watching Wang Shi leave with Zhao Jingwan and Qi Qingxi, the female official turned back to Chengqian Palace.

The female officer saluted Concubine Xian respectfully: "Madam, Mrs. Hou has left with Mrs. Shizi and Miss Qi, and Princess Qi, it seems that she is going to Concubine Xu Shu's Palace."

Concubine Xian is playing with a few plum blossoms that the palace servants picked this morning, and she puts the plum blossoms in the blue and white glazed red twine flower vase.

"What do you think of Miss Qi?" Concubine Xian asked the female officer.

The female officer immediately replied submissively: "Act with restraint, neither humble nor overbearing."

"You have heard all the things in the imperial garden, and you still think she is acting with restraint?"

With a "click", Concubine Xian picked up the scissors and cut off the root of the plum branch in her hand, and inserted the plum branch into another smaller vase.

The female officer took the bottle from Concubine Xian and put it on the table, turned around and said with a smile: "Although Ms. Qi acted a little boldly, it is still a good way to protect herself, it is better than being bullied."

Concubine Xian put down the scissors in her hand, straightened her sleeves and sat upright, nodded: "What you said is not unreasonable, I have also heard some things about her in the past, if she randomly married to any other family to be the head Daughter-in-law, after a few years of studying under my mother-in-law, it is definitely more than enough to be on my own."

Concubine Xian sighed: "But she is allocated to Zi Cong as a wife, and Zi Cong is going to support the Gu family. She is still a little bit too late for what she is doing now."

This female official was originally a personal servant girl who served by Concubine Xian's side, she has been serving Concubine Xian by her side, and later Concubine Xian entered the palace as a concubine, and she also entered the palace to serve Concubine Xian.

She knew that Concubine Xian felt the most sorry, and the person who most wanted to make up was Master Zi Cong.

Concubine Xian has always been very concerned about everything about Master Zi Cong, but Master Zi Cong has always been very resistant to contact with Concubine Xian.

Especially when Concubine Xian said that he wanted to show the girl to Master Zi Cong, Master Zi Cong even had a big fight with the concubine, saying that he would never marry a wife in his life, which made Concubine Xian die.

The concubine Xian was so angry that she couldn't eat during that time.

Now that Young Master Zi Cong had finally taken a fancy to a girl, he even went to the emperor to ask for a marriage decree, which shows how much Young Master Zi Cong cares about this girl.

But hearing what the empress said, she was not very satisfied with this Miss Qi's family.

No, she had to persuade her, otherwise the mother and son would probably make more trouble this time.

"Ruyan, go to the palace and find two nuns who teach the rules and send them to General Li's mansion to teach her the rules."

It turned out that the empress meant this, Ruyan felt relieved, and answered "Yes" softly.

Concubine Xian thought for a while, and then said: "It's not too late for this matter, you can pick someone in these two days, and after you pick someone, go to me to have a look before sending them to Li's residence."

"Hey, the servant obeys."
