The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 56 She is a concubine

It's just a pity to marry someone like the King of Wei. Xue Qingyin thought.

Then the Queen Mother and Concubine Wan successively gave her a headdress and a jade bottle.

This girl from the Liu family was chosen in the palace, and was recognized by the Queen Mother and Concubine Wan. It can be said that no one can be more glorious than her today!

Now everyone cast more envious eyes at her than before.

Xue Qingyin raised her eyes again.

I saw Liu Yuerong took the reward with both hands, and her body couldn't help trembling slightly with excitement.

...Well, her worries were unnecessary.

It seems that this girl Liu is very happy to marry the King of Wei.

Liu Yuerong accepted the reward and returned to her seat, but suddenly glanced at Xue Qingyin.

There was a little pride in the look of Miss Liu, and she raised her chin to Xue Qingyin without leaving any trace.

Xue Qingyin was full of question marks.

Is she okay? Why is she showing off to me?

Xue Qingyin's thoughts turned, and she finally remembered in an instant why Miss Liu looked familiar!

Not long after she came here, He Songning took her to the poetry meeting held by the King of Wei.

She was sitting in the pavilion at the time and saw a young girl stand up and write poems with the King of Wei. Later, the King of Wei said that she had not read enough books, which made her cry.

No wonder...

It turned out that this girl had admired the King of Wei for a long time, and even regarded her as a rival in love after the poetry meeting!

Xue Qingyin pouted, feeling bored, and started eating by herself.

Xue Qinghe also realized that this palace banquet had nothing to do with her.

It's just... "Qiu Xin, why are you shaking?"

Qiu Xin shook her head and said softly: "Nothing."

She was worried that Emperor Liang De would point out Xue Qingyin like he pointed out the girl from the Liu family, and finally point her to King Xuan.

Then the nobles also gave rewards, making Xue Qingyin glorious.

Just thinking about that scene, Qiu Xin felt a heart attack.

Until a bell rang.

The palace banquet was over.

Qiu Xin let out the breath in her chest and laughed secretly. Great. Xue Qingyin didn't get the chance, haha. People would despise someone like her to be a concubine to King Xuan.

Those who stick to the king without the permission of their parents or the words of the matchmaker can only be a concubine!

But what disappointed her was... when she turned around to look at her eldest daughter.

Xue Qingyin didn't have any expression at all!

Wasn't she disappointed?

"Miss Xue." Someone approached quietly.

Xue Qingyin and the others turned around to look.

It was Wanxia.

Wanxia smiled appropriately and said, "I picked up the girl, so naturally I will send her back."

Xue Qingyin nodded and left the table quietly with her.

Xue Qinghe and the others naturally followed.

The other noble ladies left first, and when they dispersed at the palace gate, a few people who were interested could not help but wonder: "Why didn't I see the eldest daughter of the Xue family?"

"I suddenly saw her in the palace just now."

"That day, she went on a boat trip with His Royal Highness King Xuan and His Royal Highness King Wei, and I thought she would be chosen in court today. Who knew that nothing was left out."

"Why didn't the two girls from the Qiao family and the Lu family be arranged to marry in court? Why is it different for Liu Yuerong?"

"How can we easily figure out the emperor's heart?"

"That's right."

They sighed and felt lost, and returned home.

Xue Qingyin and others were taken by Wanxia to the side hall where they had waited before.

After waiting for half an hour, Wanxia sent them out of the palace.

It was just in time with the other noble ladies.

So they could use the sedan chair carried by the strong man openly again.

Xue Qingyin was very satisfied.

It doesn't matter if I wait a little longer, since I can ride in a sedan chair, so I don't have to walk.

As for marrying King Xuan...

She has now seen all the complicated entanglements in the royal family, and she knows that it is not an easy thing.

King Xuan helped her today, probably just... well, because King Xuan is a gentleman.

Although such a word is used on him, it is difficult to connect with the villain image in the original work.

But even a ruthless character like He Songning can be the male protagonist!

Why can't the villain be a gentleman?

Xue Qingyin thinks this logic is correct.

After returning home, Xue Qingyin took a bath and changed the medicine.

Madam Xue came to visit her.

"Didn't you make any mistakes today?" Madam Xue asked nervously.

Xue Qingyin was amused: "Mother, what could I have done wrong? Rolling in front of the emperor? Or beating the princess?"

Mrs. Xue also laughed: "You are so unruly! I am asking you seriously."

Xue Qingyin whispered: "Don't worry, I was very well behaved in the palace today and didn't say much. In the eyes of those nobles, I am nothing, and they didn't even look at me more."

Mrs. Xue got angry after hearing this: "My daughter is so beautiful, how could she not look at you more?"

Xue Qingyin thought to herself, probably only in her mother's heart, she thinks her daughter is the best.

She climbed out of the tub, wiping the water off her body as she said, "If they look at me a few more times, I'll have to marry the King of Wei and become one of his seventeen or eighteen women."

Mrs. Xue sighed, "Then it's better not to look at you."

She paused and said, "What do you think of Mrs. Lin's house?"

"Ah?" Xue Qingyin reacted immediately, "So you came here to tell me about the boy from the Lin family?"

Mrs. Xue smiled and said: "You are the only one who is smart. You also know that the only person your mother and I have close contact with is Mrs. Lin from the Yushi Mansion. After thinking about it, it is better to go to her house than anyone else. When you were young, She even hugged you."

Xue Qingyin pouted: "No, her daughter hates me very much."

Mrs. Xue wanted to persuade her again: "It was all the conflicts I had with others when I was young. How come I still remember it today?"

Xue Qingyin pretended to be sleepy, yawned and said, "Did you only know today that I hold a grudge?"

Mrs. Xue felt sorry for her because she was so tired after a trip to the palace, so she said nothing more.

When Xue Qingyin fell asleep, Mrs. Xue tucked her in.

When she returned to her yard, the maid next to her said to her as usual: "Master is still on duty at the household department today."

"Yes, I understand." Mrs. Xue looked calm.

The courtyard seemed desolate and quiet.

But thinking of a pair of children, Mrs. Xue fell into sleep with peace of mind.

Xue Qingyin didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning.

When the maid saw her waking up, she quickly reported the important event: "The Duke of Zhao's Mansion sent someone here, saying that they were going to hold a wedding ceremony for the girl. They also invited the master and the madam. The master prepared the invitation separately, and the master received his share. Went to the Ministry of Finance."

So serious?

Xue Qingyin is not quite used to it yet.

She didn't even understand why Duke Zhao's government valued her so much.

The maid paused for a moment and then said: "There is one more thing. I don't know if the girl likes to hear it."

"Just tell me." Xue Qingyin said to her heart, "I hate people who cheat on me the most."

The maid said softly: "Early this morning, His Majesty issued a decree that the girl from the Qiao family will be the concubine of His Highness King Wei, and the girl from the Liu family will be the main concubine of His Highness King Wei."

Then Miss Lu should be the one who wants to point it out to King Xuan, right?

You can't give all three to King Wei.

Xue Qingyin smacked her lips and speculated secretly.

The maid continued worriedly: "Why is there no imperial edict for the eldest girl?"

Xue Qingyin smiled and said: "I don't even have the courage to think about it, but you did it for me."

The maid blushed and murmured: "Isn't this because I am afraid that the girl will not be able to marry King Xuan in the end, and even King Wei will be gone?"

Xue Qingyin threatened her: "If you say this, you will easily be beaten to death."

The maid hurriedly raised her hands to cover her mouth: "I, I won't tell anyone."

Xue Qingyin got up and asked the woman waiting outside to come in and dress herself up.

The maid next to her was young. Xue Qingyin educated her while combing her hair: "You don't even know how miserable it is for the girl from the Qiao family to marry King Wei."

The maid was puzzled: "What's wrong? She can be a concubine."

"Think about it, how many concubines does King Wei have? How many people does she have to fight for? If each person has thirty days in a month, how many days can they fight to get King Wei to stay in their own room?"

"...yeah, too. But if it's a girl, it's definitely different."

"What's the difference?"

"The King of Wei will definitely pamper girls."

"Then a dozen of his wives and concubines will poison me together one day?"

The maid choked.

Xue Qingyin smacked her lips: "And there are so many women, can he take care of them? I'm afraid they will all be useless in a few more years."

The maid blushed and hesitated, unable to continue.

The woman combing her hair laughed angrily: "How come the master takes the lead in talking about such nasty things? What kind of behavior is this?"

Xue Qingyin's face was full of smile: "Mother Zhong, am I right?"

The maid on the side suddenly interrupted and said: "Well, if His Highness Prince Xuan doesn't even have a concubine by his side, is it... is he very powerful in that respect?"

Xue Qingyin: "Pfft." She almost choked on the tea she was gargling.

But she tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said: "...What you said makes sense."

Mother Zhong was so angry that she pinched her waist.

At this time, His Royal Highness King Xuan was standing in front of Emperor Liang De.

Emperor Liang De, with a sullen face, asked him: "Why not? If you like that girl from the Xue family, I will appoint her as your concubine. Let the daughter of the Lu family be your principal concubine. I will do this." Father’s, isn’t it good enough for you?”
