Tyrant Whitewashing Plan [Transmigration Book]

Still worrying about him, Xiao Jining wanted to refute Qiao Xi's words: You came into my harem, that is my biggest worry.

But of course such words cannot be said clearly, so Xiao Ji Ning endured and endured, and in the end he just said: "I am very pleased that you are so sensible."

"The concubine only hopes that everything goes well with the emperor." Qiao Xi still had a gentle and virtuous smile on his face.

She looks delicate and soft, and she always speaks in a soft voice, as if she is afraid of disturbing the other party if she speaks louder, and she was born as a palace maid. , it seems that her temperament has always been so docile, which is probably the best appearance of a wife in most men's minds.

From this point of view, she really shouldn't be given a title like "Li". It would be more suitable for her to be replaced with the word "Shu" or "Xian".

It's just that Xiao Jining doesn't like Qiao Xi, and has some psychological shadows towards her type of woman... After all, Queen Mother Chun's attitude in front of Emperor Yunhong used to be like this, almost no different from Qiao Xi.

But what is she like in private?

In addition, Qiao Xi's life experience is a mystery, it is very likely to be related to the mysterious assassin, and he is also a descendant of Dongping County, so Xiao Jining doesn't know what to talk about when he stays with her, but it doesn't seem right if he just leaves like this. appropriate.Xiao Jining glanced around, saw Qiao Xi holding the pipa in the arms of the maid beside her, and remembered that the Fourth Prince had just said that he heard Qiao Xi playing the pipa here, so Xiao Jining said: "Aren't you learning the pipa recently? Let me play a song."

"Okay, Your Majesty." Upon hearing this, Qiao Xi took the pipa from the maid, stretched out her pale fingers and plucked the strings twice, "The concubine will show her shame."

Xiao Jining nodded: "Well, play it."

In the next moment, the sound of the clang pipa leaked from Qiao Xi's fingers. The sound was desolate, with hints of sadness. There were occasional pauses between syllables, and the fingering was a little rusty. It was no different from what Qiao Xi said when she was just learning the pipa. .

But this song is full of emotion, even though Xiao Jining is not good at music reasoning, after listening to it, there is also a little melancholy in his chest.

After the song was finished, Xiao Jining commented: "This song is too bleak."

"It's the concubine's fault." Qiao Xi immediately lowered her head while holding the pipa, admitting her mistake, "From now on, the concubine will never play such a tune again."

"Have you ever heard "Sorrow on the Battlefield" praising General Xu?" Xiao Jining asked her, "Your song also has a bit of sadness in it."

Qiao Xi always kept his head down, Xiao Jining couldn't see the expression on her face at all, but Xiao Jining didn't have to look at the expression on her face, after he said this, he stood up from the chair and said to Qiao Xi : "It's cold in the middle of winter, you'd better stay in the palace on such a cold day."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qiao Xi agreed to all Xiao Jining's orders without refutation.

Xiao Jining also stopped talking with her in depth, and left the Royal Garden surrounded by Mu Kui, Xi Shu and others with his hands behind his back.

After Xiao Jining returned to the Golden Dragon Palace, he immediately wrote an imperial edict - he wanted to make Qiao Xi the Concubine Li.

It is also thanks to the fact that the positions of concubines in the Great Xiao harem are basically determined by the emperor himself, there are no restrictions. Originally, it is not good to have a concubine without children, but Emperor Yunhong set a precedent, so when he came to Xiao Jining's place, the ministers were not very good. be opposed to.

The main reason for this is that there is no one in Xiao Jining's harem, and so far there is no emperor's heir.

A few days ago, Xiao Jining was still unwilling to let go of his mouth and start the talent show. Now he has let go, but he wants to be a concubine Li, and there are three more concubines to fight for. What is there to be afraid of?

Since ancient times, the emperor's concubines have always been closely related to the previous dynasty. The emperor would marry some ministers' concubines to ensure their loyalty to him; opportunity.

Therefore, the news that Xiao Jining was going to hold a talent show was only released, and it aroused discussions among the harem and the former court.

The first one to come to Xiao Jining to babble, of course, was Jing Yuan.

As soon as Xiao Jining's concubine's imperial edict came out of the Golden Dragon Hall, Jing Yuan entered Xiao Jining's bedroom through the small window behind him. He was wearing dark black night clothes and a mask was on his face. I don't know where he was hiding before. .

As soon as Jing Yuan landed on the ground, seeing Xiao Jining's face, he tore off his mask, raised his eyebrows and asked him: "I just asked you to go and see Qiao Xi, why did you turn around and make her a concubine? Still listening to her play I played a pipa, wondering if it’s cold outside in the winter?”

Listen to what Jing Yuan said.

He and Qiao Xi met in a small pavilion on the rockery, and there were only a few palace people around when they talked, but Jing Yuan knew exactly what they said, and now he plans to come over to "excuse the teacher". Fortunately, Xiao Jining already knew what kind of virtue Jing Yuan was, so he was mentally prepared. He pursed his lips, spread his hands to pretend to be helpless, and sighed: "I can't help it. Why did Brother Sihuang think that I neglected Mrs. Li?"

"Brother Four also said that Mrs. Li's pipa sounds like weeping and complaining, which makes people feel sad and moved." Xiao Ji Ning said pointedly, "So I can't give her a promotion point?"

Hearing Xiao Jining mentioning the Fourth Prince, Jing Yuan couldn't help but hooked the corners of his lips, didn't dare to smile too obviously, and quickly recovered his serious look, and said to Xiao Jining: "Ningning already knows."

Could he not know?

No wonder Jing Yuan didn't tell him what Qiao Xi was doing recently, and asked him to go and see in person, so that he could see what Qiao Xi and the Fourth Prince were up to.

Xiao Jining said unhappily: "I've known Brother Sihuang for so many years, don't I know if he has leisure to play chess with me by the lake in winter?"

Although the character of the fourth prince is gentle and gentle, but Xiao Jining discovered it when he was practicing in the martial arts training ground, he, the fourth prince, has no patience at all.

He is really good at playing chess. To be precise, among the nine sons of Emperor Yunhong, except Xiao Jining, no one is bad at playing chess. Chess is a waste of time.

The only thing Xiao Jining didn't understand was: "But I don't understand, when did Brother Sihuang meet Qiao Xi? Was it during the time when he was injured and recuperating in the palace?"

"No." Jing Yuan explained to him, "The person I arranged to watch her over at Qiaoxi came to tell me when she came into contact with the fourth prince on the first day, and after I checked carefully, I found that the fourth prince When I was in Li Xinggong, I had contact with Qiao Xi."

Hearing this, Xiao Jining slightly opened his eyes wide: "The person who raped Qiao Xi in Roufeng Pavilion, could it be Brother Four?"

"Absolutely not." Jing Yuan immediately denied Xiao Jining's conjecture, and even used words like "absolutely", "With your fourth brother's martial arts, how can I not know that he sneaked into Roufeng Pavilion? Unless he It also entered through the secret passage, but this is impossible."

"... also." Xiao Jining frowned.

He was still thinking about business when he heard Jing Yuan say: "And if the fourth prince and Qiao Xi really have an affair—"

Xiao Jining raised his head following the voice, and found that Jing Yuan had walked in front of him at some point, and was very close to him, as long as Jing Yuan bent down, he could wrap him in his arms.

"It's like me and you—" After a short pause, Jingyuan leaned forward and pressed against him, pressing against the corner of his lips and asking, "Does this still require violence?"

"How do you know they must be like us?" Xiao Jining suddenly felt a crisis, and asked a few steps back.It's just that there is a desk behind him, and the edge of the desk has already touched his waist, making it impossible for him to avoid it, and there is no way to retreat.

Jing Yuan sneered and said, "My eyeliner tells me that they are just like us."

Xiao Jining pretended to be sad: "Stop talking, I think the top of my head is so green."

"Isn't my head green?" Jing Yuan was also amused by Xiao Jining's expression and words, and said amusedly, "You only wear one now, but I have already worn four, and what are you talking about? You Is it going to be drafted?"

When he said this, although Jing Yuan had a smile on his face, Xiao Ji would rather not think that Jing Yuan is really in a good mood now.

So Xiao Jining bit the bullet and said: "Yes."

In order to follow Jingyuan's hair, Xiao Jining explained immediately after finishing speaking: "After this draft, I will not have a second draft. The draft is held every three years. After this draft, at least three years later, the ministers There is no more legitimate reason for the Queen Mother to force me to draft."

"If it goes well, there will be a solution to this matter within three years; but if it doesn't go well, there will still be discussions among the ministers of the DPRK and China. I can say that Ruan Jiaren and Tan Qingxuan don't want to take concubines anymore, but if you take it now They came out to block the sword, and the ministers gave them a name of jealousy, so what should we do in the future?"

Xiao Jining's every word made sense, but Jing Yuan was noncommittal when he heard the words, he just said: "You are quite considerate of Ruan Jiaren and Tan Qingxuan."

This is vinegar again.

However, Jing Yuan still noticed that there was something in Xiao Jining's words, and asked him: "What do you mean by going well?"

Finally there was something Jing Yuan didn't know about, Xiao Jining raised his head, raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "I won't tell you yet, you will know later, or if you have the ability, you can guess for yourself."

When Jing Yuan heard Xiao Jining say that, he just laughed, and then slowly uttered a sentence: "Ning Ning is provoking me?"

As soon as Jing Yuan called him "Ning Ning", nothing good would happen. Xiao Jining was a little flustered, but he still refused to solve the riddle, and changed the subject: "Anyway, we can't kill the chicken to get the eggs right now, just pull Ruan Jiaren and Tan Qingxuan out to block the sword, Qiao Xi enters Eating and drinking in the palace is an expense, so you can't let her eat and live for nothing, right? Before the matter between her and the Fourth Prince is exposed, it would be good to use her to block the showgirls."

Hearing the words, Jingyuan asked Xiao Jining again: "Then how can you be sure that she will follow your wishes and give all the beautiful girls a sign?"

Xiao Jining waved his hand indifferently and said, "You don't have to worry about that, besides Qiao Xi, there is another Ding Shuxue who can use her."

Qiao Xi and Ding Shuxue entered the palace together, and since the first day of entering the palace, Qiao Xi has dominated Ding Shuxue in status.

But fortunately, she was only one level lower, and Ding Shuxue was the empress dowager's niece and the emperor's cousin. Although she was not favored, in the eyes of the palace people, she was always related to the emperor's empress dowager, which was more reliable than anything else. Therefore, Ding Shuxue's treatment is actually better than Qiao Xi's.

But now that Qiaoxi was made a concubine while Ding Shuxue was still a Jieyu, the situation changed completely.
