Quick Wear: Host, are you playing here?

After returning to the palace, the matter became widely known within a few days. The people of Beiqi were very curious about how beautiful the princess who was married to the foreign prince was, which made their Majesty go out of the city to chase her so far.

The people's voices did not have any malicious intent. After all, this was the emperor they admired, and there was nothing wrong with what he did.

After returning to the palace, an imperial edict of enthronement was delivered to Fenghua Palace.

"Royal Concubine?" Hua Xia stood in front of the eunuch who was reading the imperial edict and asked with bright eyes, "How much is the salary?"

The eunuch looked puzzled: "Madam, what is the salary?"

"Monthly allowance."

"Oh, according to the regulations, the monthly allowance is 60 taels of silver, and the annual allowance is 800 taels of silver."

Hua Xia: “…” I thought it was a lot. According to the five thousand taels she received, she would have been the Imperial Consort for six and a half years.

"Your Highness, there is no queen in the palace now. You are almost the queen now and have the authority to manage the harem."

Hua Xia: “…” So with such a low salary, you still want to work?

"Go back and tell His Majesty that I will no longer be a royal concubine. I will just be a noble concubine."

Eunuch: “??!!”

"Go? What are you standing there for?"

"Your Majesty, is there any room for negotiation?" There are actually people who don't want to be an imperial concubine but want to be a concubine.

"Go! Go! Go."

Hua Xia drove away the eunuch and soon welcomed His Majesty.

When Qin Xiu walked into the hall, Hua Xia was writing a letter to the male protagonist of the world.

"Don't worry, Imperial Master. After unremitting efforts, I have successfully ascended to the position of Imperial Concubine. Don't be too happy. I will continue to work hard."

[......Host, are you sure the hero will be happy to see this news? You were already a concubine when you came. ] What is ineffective effort? This is it!

When Hua Xia finished writing the last word "中", Qin Xiu was already standing behind her. She turned around and met Qin Xiu's somewhat gloomy gaze. Not far behind him was Ling Shuang who was very anxious and worried.

"What to write?" Qin Xiu's voice was very calm, yet it was as peaceful as the deep sea that could swallow people.

Hua Xia did not answer, but looked at Ling Shuang and said, "Ling Shuang, come here."

Ling Shuang hesitated for a while, but still walked tremblingly in front of Hua Xia. Hua Xia handed her the creed, curled her lips and said softly: "Go and deliver it."

"......" Ling Shuang hesitated for a while, her eyes wandered between Qin Xiu and Hua Xia, and she still reached out to take the letter and said, "I'll go right away."

Then he hurried out of this strange air pressure field, his calves trembling with every step he took towards the door, for fear of being stopped.

Fortunately, she was not stopped until she left the house.

Hua Xia sat on the table where she wrote the secret letter, swinging her legs and answering Qin Xiu's question: "Secret letter."

"What secret letter? Who is it for?" Qin Xiu paused at first, probably not expecting Hua Xia to make an excuse for not looking for it.

"Doesn't your majesty know that?"

"I don't know."

"If you don't know, just don't know."

Qin Xiu: “…” He clearly wanted to question, but swallowed it back in the end. After all, he knew that they were not from the same country, and it was a matter of stance. How could he ask her to do more?

But what made him angry was not this, but the recipient of the letter. Who knows, the two of them might convey other heartfelt words through the secret letter!

"Your Majesty?" Hua Xia raised her hand and waved it in front of Qin Xiu. "Your Majesty, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Qin Xiu frowned and took a step back: "I just came here to ask you, why don't you become the Imperial Noble Consort?" Do you still want to return to Yun Xuan?

The second half of the sentence was never uttered.

Hua Xia showed a look of disdain: "Don't you know that the Imperial Concubine has to work?"

Qin Xiu never expected this to be the reason. The anger that had been pent up in his chest suddenly dispersed. It was always like this. This woman always had a way to make him helpless against her!

"No need to work."

"Yes, the eunuch said he would take care of the harem."

"I don't have a harem."

That's right. Hua Xia paused, thought for a moment and asked, "What about those toffees?"

"That's my father's harem, not mine."

"Okay." Hua Xia raised the corners of her lips slightly and curved her eyebrows.

Qin Xiu's heart skipped a beat for some reason, and so did 250. He felt as if something had changed about the host, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Conferring the title of Imperial Noble Consort is no joke. Apart from some cumbersome formalities, what is more important is that in the past history of Beiqi, the Imperial Noble Consort is just a transitional period for conferring the title of Queen.

If there is a queen in the palace, there will be no imperial concubine. If there is an imperial concubine, she will definitely become the queen of Beiqi within two years.

"This..." The ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the Cabinet were in a dilemma, "This is against the rules."

It would be fine if a girl from a foreign race became the royal concubine or even the queen of Beiqi, and His Majesty exempted her from all the kneeling rituals. However, it seemed that Princess Anbei had never knelt since she entered the palace.

"Forget it. We are favored right now. Who dares to tell His Majesty? Maybe we will not be favored in the future, and this matter will be resolved naturally." An official said, not knowing whether he was comforting others or himself.

"Yeah, never mind. General Li mentioned the matter of the sacred deer in the hunting grounds. Maybe Princess Anbei is Beiqi's blessing, a goddess descended from heaven."

"..."

After a while, everyone discovered that His Majesty not only did not restrain himself, but became even worse.

Regardless of whether it was tribute from vassal states or good things presented by lower classes, the empress dowager had to stand aside, and Fenghua Palace would definitely be the first to receive the gifts.

Just like this moment, Hu Shuo entered the Council Hall with a booklet in his hand: "Your Majesty, the tributes sent by Nanbang are all on this booklet. Your Majesty, should you first select them from the Imperial Noble Consort, and then send them to the various palaces for distribution according to the rules?"

Qin Xiu nodded without even raising his head and continued to deal with the memorials in his hand.

"Your Majesty," Hu said hesitantly, "I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, the word has spread in the palace that you dote on the Imperial Concubine too much, and she wants the stars but you give her the moon."

Qin Xiu raised his head, frowned, and looked a little puzzled: "She never asked me for stars."

"Besides, I didn't spoil her. I just gave it to her casually."

"She is a Nanyue person, all alone in Beiqi. I am a generous person, I will not be reluctant to give her anything, I just feel sorry for her."

"......" He had never seen His Majesty so stubborn, so he slapped himself on the forehead and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, what do you want? You knew that the princess was a spy, but you still spoiled her. If this is not love, what is it?"

"I didn't." Qin Xiu lowered his head to handle official business, but he couldn't concentrate on it.

After a moment, Qin Xiu asked, "You all think that if you dote on her, she will be self-indulgent, right?"

Hu said: “…” May I ask who saw that the person was missing and chased after him on horseback?

"Then I won't send it to her this time!" Qin Xiu decided.

Hu said: "..." Your Majesty, are you childish?

This time the tribute was not sent to Fenghua Palace, and Hua Xia did not notice it at all. At this time, Ling Shuang came in and dismissed the servants, and whispered: "Princess, the virtuous king has entered the palace. He asked me to tell you that he is waiting for you in the cold palace and abandoned palace."
