The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 165 The Son of a Virtuous Concubine

The imperial edict that she was renamed Princess Xuan had been left at Prince Xuan's residence as early as the day before.

But until today, everyone knows it.

According to the rules, Xue Qingyin had to wear a hairpin crown and a brocade dress with wide sleeves.

The crown is decorated with hairpins and inlaid with gold and silver jewels. The more there are, the more noble the status becomes.

The clothes are embroidered with Huizhai and are covered with flowers.

After wearing such a formal dress, one has to go to the palace to express gratitude.

At this moment, Xue Qingyin held her heavy head and sat on the small chariot. Li Shi carried him to see Emperor Liang De first.

After the chamberlain went in to report, it was Shaojian Wu who came out.

"Your Majesty was unable to move away, so he ordered his servants to bring the reward to the princess." Wu Shaojian led the two young eunuchs.

The little chamberlain held a jade plate in each hand, and what was on the plate was the reward.

While Wu Shaojian was speaking, he paused suddenly.

Dressed up like this, she changed from her usual laziness and became bright and moving.

Most ordinary people would be suppressed by the pearls and emeralds in appearance and aura, but she made the sky around her become more beautiful.

"Thank you, Mr. Wu." Xue Qingyin smiled at him.

It suddenly became more eye-catching.

Wu Shaojian slowly came to his senses: "I don't dare."

Even though he was an eunuch, he could probably understand why King Xuan was so furious this time.

Wu Shaojian was half a step behind, walking beside Xue Qingyin and said, "I will take you out, my servant."

"Go out?" Xue Qingyin shook her head as she said, "Don't go out. It's not easy to wear these clothes..."

Wu Shaojian thought she was saying that it was not easy to get the position of princess.

In fact, Xue Qingyin's meaning is very simple.

It’s really hard to put on and take off!

She just sat there doing this hair for nearly an hour. The hairpins were slowly inserted one by one, and then tightened, until her neck almost broke.

If it weren't for Xu Zhi pressing her shoulder, asking her to abide by the rules, she would have to obey when entering the palace to thank him.

She gave up long ago.

"I heard that the newly promoted Concubine Dong Xian is in charge of many affairs in the palace now..." Xue Qingyin spoke up.

"Yes." Wu Shaojian nodded.

"Well, let's go and say hello too," Xue Qingyin said.

When Mr. Wu listened to these words, it was no different from hearing the sun rising in the west.

He looked at Xue Qingyin in shock: "This, this..."

"Are Wu Shaojian thinking that I haven't seen me paying my respects to Concubine Wan before?" Xue Qingyin narrowed her eyes and smiled.

Originally, he could only guess at these words buried in his heart, but Xue Qingyin said them out, and Wu Shaojian also became more open-minded.

He nodded: "Yes."

"I have a grudge against her." Xue Qingyin spread her hands, "It's that simple."

Wu Shaojian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

That is really... clear love and hate, and it is implemented in a clear place.

Concubine Dong Xian was also a gentle woman.

But unlike Concubine Wan's pretended gentleness, Concubine Dong Xian was so gentle that there was even a hint of dullness.

When she saw Xue Qingyin coming in, accompanied by Wu Shaojian, she immediately stood up.

"This must be..." Concubine Dong Xian was not well-informed, and she was not sure about Xue Qingyin's identity when she was dressed like this.

"It's Princess Xuan." Wu Shaojian said from the side.

Concubine Dong Xian nodded and greeted her warmly: "I saw you today, she is really stunningly beautiful."

At this point, Concubine Dong Xian stopped talking again, as if she felt something was inappropriate.

After all, praising the beauty and charm is mostly used to praise the concubines.

To praise your true wife, you have to say something virtuous and virtuous.

Just when Concubine Dong Xian felt awkward, Xue Qingyin smiled and said: "Thank you for the compliment, Concubine Xian. In the past, Concubine Wan felt that my face was not good-looking, and it was rare for Concubine Xian to like it."

Wu Shaojian corrected from the side: "Now she is a concubine."

Concubine Dong Xian was dumbfounded when she heard this.

Although Concubine Wan was demoted and her family collapsed, she was still a beloved concubine in the past.

What's more, her son King Wei is still very powerful, and Princess Xuan dares to be so rude...

Concubine Dong Xian immediately asked Xue Qingyin to take a seat: "I heard that King Xuan is going to the fiefdom."

Xue Qingyin nodded: "Yizhou is mountainous, so the journey is bumpy."

Otherwise, how can there be "difficulties on the road to Shu"?

Concubine Dong Xian hesitated, called the maid in a low voice, and ordered the maid to get some jewelry.

"Princess, please bring it with you. Maybe it will be useful."

"Then thank you, Concubine Xian."

"No, you're welcome."

Concubine Dong Xian asked when she would leave.

"We have to wait another ten days."

The relocation of such a large palace is naturally no small matter.

Concubine Dong Xian nodded.

For a moment, the palace became quiet.

Wu Shaojian felt a hint of embarrassment.

Fortunately, Xue Qingyin didn't seem to know what embarrassment was. She even asked Concubine Dong Xian if she could get used to the change of palace and whether it would be tiring to handle affairs in the harem.

Concubine Dong Xian answered solemnly.

"It doesn't matter where you live. It's just that the affairs in the palace are unfamiliar. Fortunately, there are a few female officials to coordinate with you."

It seems that she has no ambitions. No wonder Emperor Liang De chose her for promotion when Concubine Wan fell.

Xue Qingyin asked again: "Why is this palace so dull? Didn't the Concubine Xian put out some vases and jade articles? I have only been to the palace where Concubine Wan lived once, but the palace is very resplendent."

Concubine Dong Xian said awkwardly: "I don't like these things very much, so it doesn't matter if I don't show them..."

He doesn't have any aura to lead the Sixth Palace.

Seeing that she had finished asking questions, Xue Qingyin got up and walked out.

As soon as she reached the palace gate, she saw two maids, each leading a child towards her.

The one on the left was a boy of seven or eight years old, and the one on the right was even younger, a girl of about four or five years old.

Both of them had serious expressions, which looked a little funny on their young faces.

Xue Qingyin asked Wu Shaojian: "Who is this?"

Wu Shaojian said: "This is the seventh prince and the ninth princess, both of whom are born to Concubine Xian."

Xue Qingyin was stunned.

She thought that Emperor Liang De had few children, but it turned out not to be the case.

Xue Qingyin asked curiously: "Why haven't I seen them before?"

Wu Shaojian said: "Concubine Xian and her own children are not compatible, and there is a sign of conflict. The seventh prince and the ninth princess are mostly raised in the West Palace. They see each other once every three months."

Xue Qingyin: "..."

Superstition kills people.

Seeing the two children getting closer and closer, Xue Qingyin asked again: "Was it calculated by the Taichang Temple?"

This is not a secret.

Wu Shaojian replied, "It's Lingxi Taoist."

It sounds familiar.

Oh, I remember!

Isn't this the Taoist who was as high as the national teacher in Lu Shuyi's words and determined that she had a connection with Taoism?

"If there is a connection, I should meet him. I'm really curious. How effective is Lingxi Taoist." Xue Qingyin smiled.

Wu Shaojian smiled and said, "He rarely comes out of the Taoist temple now. If you want to see him, you really have to wait for fate."

"Father can't command him?"

"Your Majesty is probably the only one who can command him."

Xue Qingyin nodded and smiled again, "Then I'll have to ask Father for help another day."

At this time, the seventh prince came closer and asked the people around him in a childish voice, "Did mother really move here to live?"

The palace servant replied, "Yes, Your Highness."

The seventh prince pointed at Xue Qingyin and said, "Then who is she? I've never seen her before. Is she a fairy who ran out of the painting?"
