Xiao Xuetang's face looked very ugly at this time!

The Queen has been talking about the Xie family repeatedly today, which would be fine, but how could she tolerate that even a palace maid beside her could trample on the Xie family at will?

Xiao Xuetang stood up in a flash, and was about to smash the lottery tube on Su Xin's face and make a scene...

But she didn't expect that someone would react faster than her!

With a "bang", everyone's attention was drawn over, and even Su Xin subconsciously looked towards the male relatives.

It turned out to be Lin Xun!

It was the wine cup in Lin Xun's hand that fell to the ground.

"My hand slipped."

Lin Xun explained casually, and the palace servant beside him tremblingly replaced the wine cup for Lin Xun...

But Lin Xun didn't answer. Under the mask, his sharp eyes looked at Su Xin who was standing beside him.

But when those bloodthirsty eyes looked over, even a well-trained female official like Su Xin, who had been with the Queen for many years, couldn't help but feel her knees go weak and she almost knelt down.

How did she offend the Regent?

Lin Xun looked at Su Xin with a deep and cold gaze, and said in a nonchalant voice: "The female official beside the Queen is so eloquent that she can even talk about the affairs of the previous dynasty. The Queen must have disciplined her well..."

When these words came out, not only Su Xin, but even the Queen felt a chill down her spine...

Wasn't Lin Xun's words a subtle criticism of her, saying that the harem shouldn't interfere in government affairs?

Hearing Lin Xun's cold and majestic voice, everyone couldn't help but gasp, while the King of Yue looked like he was enjoying a good show.

He originally thought that the confrontation between the Third Prince and the Eastern Palace yesterday was exciting enough, but he didn't expect that this time at the palace banquet, he would be able to catch up with the excitement of the confrontation between the Regent and the Queen.

This trip back to Beijing was not in vain!

Su Xin saw that the situation was not good, and immediately knelt down to plead guilty, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I didn't mean it!"

When the queen saw Su Xin kneeling down, her face turned extremely ugly. She felt that Lin Xun actually threw the wine cup at her palace banquet and simply did not take her, the queen, seriously.

"Your Majesty..."

The Queen looked at Emperor Yonghui, hoping that he could step forward, but unexpectedly, Emperor Yonghui was looking absent-mindedly into the distance, and seemed to have no intention of intervening.

The queen's heart suddenly sank.

But Emperor Yonghui did not say anything. If she got angry, it would confirm what Lin Xun had just said about the harem interfering in government affairs.

not to mention……

The Queen was also unsure. Lin Xun suddenly spoke up, wondering if he had discovered the truth of yesterday's incident and was trying to warn her and the Wang family!

The Queen had always been suspicious, and she actually took Lin Xun's actions at this time as a signal to attack the East Palace. She was shocked and frightened, and she hated Ye Jin to death...

If Ye Jin hadn't instigated her, she wouldn't have been so rash as to plot against Lin Xun!

The queen was shocked and frightened, but she softened her expression and said, "The people under my palace don't know how to speak, so please don't blame me, Regent."

Lin Xun sneered: "Since you can't speak, there's no point in keeping your tongue."

Su Xin screamed and begged for mercy: "Madam, help me, I don't want my tongue to be pulled out."

Hearing Su Xin's panicked voice begging for mercy, the ladies from the noble families who attended the palace banquet today were also terrified and looked at Lin Xun with fearful eyes...

I've heard that the Regent has an erratic temper, is bloodthirsty and murderous, and it turns out to be true!

If anyone marries him in the future, he will be tortured to death.

Even Wang Yueying's face looked pale.

It was true that she liked Lin Xun back then. After all, she had seen Lin Xun's true appearance and fell in love with him at first sight.

But Lin Xun's cold and violent personality made Wang Yueying love and fear him...

The queen's heart was in her throat, fearing that Lin Xun would really hurt someone around her today, and then she would not be able to do her job as the mistress of the six palaces at all.

Just when the queen was feeling anxious, Emperor Yonghui finally spoke up to stop her...

"Okay Huai Zhang, it's rare to have so many noble ladies here today, don't scare them."

As he said this, he gave Lin Xun a warning look.

Emperor Yonghui came to Wenyuan Pavilion today, but he had a very important thing to do...

Choose a princess for Lin Xun!

The reason why Emperor Yonghui brought Lin Xun here today was that he heard that the Queen had invited many women from aristocratic families. Emperor Yonghui originally thought that he could take this opportunity to see if there was anyone that Lin Xun liked and arrange a marriage for him or something!

But what Emperor Yonghui never expected was that Lin Xun would not speak at all, but as soon as he opened his mouth he would pull out his tongue to scare people, which immediately frightened these delicate ladies so much that they turned pale.

Among these noble ladies, only two of them looked normal...

One is Mu Yan, the other is Xiao Xuetang!

Mu Yan and Lin Xun have known each other for many years. If Lin Xun was interested, they would have been married long ago, not to mention that their personalities are simply not suitable.

The other one is even more inappropriate...

Xiao Xuetang and Lin Shaoshu already had an engagement!

At this time, the people below also figured out what Emperor Yonghui meant, and their minds became active...

Although this regent has a strange temper, he is in a high position and has great power. If you can marry him, wealth and glory will be within your reach.

The Queen finally guessed the Emperor's intention. Seeing that Emperor Yonghui had spoken like this, she also took the opportunity to expose Su Xin's troubles and said with a smile: "Today's poetry competition is the time for all the noble ladies to show their talents. Whoever wins the first prize will not only get the prize prepared by this palace, but also the reward from the Emperor..."

As he spoke, a dignified smile appeared on his face, and he said to Emperor Yonghui: "With so many young talents here, maybe we can help them find some good relationships."

Hearing this, the first sincere smile of the day finally appeared on Yonghui Emperor's handsome and pale face, and he said, "What the Queen said is absolutely right."

It so happens that most of the ministers and young men from aristocratic families who came with Emperor Yonghui today are unmarried, and they are all the most outstanding men in Dayin. If they can get the emperor's marriage granting at today's palace banquet, it will be a good marriage even if they don't marry the regent!

If most people were only 30% interested in writing poetry when the Queen suggested it just now, now it has become 100% interested.

They all stood up and came to Su Xin to draw lots...

Xiao Xuetang was even less interested. Her engagement with Lin Shaoshu had not been cancelled yet, so she had no intention of attending at all...

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Queen suddenly spoke again, saying: "Take out today's prize..."

As they were talking, a palace maid came over with a carved rosewood tray. On the tray was an exquisitely crafted Nine-Palace Lotus Box.

This is……

Xie Guifei’s old stuff!

Xiao Xuetang looked at the familiar Nine Palace Lotus Box, and her pupils shrank. When she saw Queen Wang's smiling face, she felt a chill down her spine.

At this time, Queen Wang looked at Xiao Xuetang with a smile, as if asking, "Xiao Xuetang, are you really not going to participate?"

The ladies present all drew lots, and there was only one lot left in the box...

Ye Jin took the order and walked up to Xiao Xuetang. He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Xiao Xuetang, let's have one last match. If you win... I will tell you a secret about Concubine Xie!"

Xiao Xuetang's calm eyes moved slightly...
