Chapter 82 Isn’t country more important than beauty? (39)
Seeing the crying beauty, Qi Anze angrily scolded Qiao Xi out and stroked Lian Yue's forehead with a distressed expression.
And Josie, who had retired after being successful, hid in the kitchen and ate a lot.
This afternoon, I only talked and didn't eat a bite.
After Qiao Xi made such a fuss, Lian Yue's status in the East Palace also skyrocketed.
Although she is not a princess, she is not comparable to a little beauty.
She was the most noble female family member in the palace and had the right to enter and exit the prince's bedroom at will.
…
"That woman thought it was a great honor, but she didn't know it was actually a trap set by you."
The red peach was bitten out of some juice, and the pink lips looked sweeter and more attractive than the peach in season. The man unconsciously looked away.
"Is your move okay? Will Father like it?"
Looking at the scenery in the yard, the man spoke doubtfully.
"You don't understand this. In this world, not only women like romance, but men also like it. Look at that swing, it is their love object. That's what the Queen told me."
The girl's confident look made the man unable to take his eyes off her, and he secretly made a decision in his heart, "When I ascend to the throne of God, you must be my only queen."
The two people here are still making plans for other people's love. On the other hand, Prince Rui, who returned from Xiangcheng, is not so relaxed.
He didn't believe the lie that the prince would abdicate voluntarily.
"Here comes someone."
Prince Rui whispered a few words into the ears of his confidants, and then waved his hands to let him do the work.
"Give way. Since you don't want to be the prince, I will help you."
…
"When a man enters a flower house, he looks charming and makes people pity him. When people laugh at flowers under the moon, he feels at ease and makes people laugh."
After a while, these songs were passed down from child to child.
People who didn't know it thought it was just mocking the phenomenon of men working as prostitutes in brothels at that time, but Qiao Xi knew that it was talking about the host's entry into the brothel in the first place.
teahouse,
"What's wrong? You look panicked?" Qi Anze looked at the sweet and sour fish that he was happily eating one second, and then became sluggish the next. He waved and asked the waiter,
"What is this kid singing?"
"Replying to the guest officer, it's a beautiful woman from Jingxuan Tower in the east who has come to the east... She's a man."
Qiao Xi closed her eyes and waited for the blackening value to increase. Unexpectedly, the man handed her a cherry-shaped pastry as if nothing was wrong.
"This cherry pancake is the best on their street. Are you sure you don't want to try it?"
The vague aroma of the pastry tantalized her taste buds. She waited for a long time and found that the beep did not sound. She happily took the plate and said, "It seems that the transformation was successful."
…
As the ballad spread, it became an anecdote among storytellers that a prince was killed by an adulterer and had to commit himself to a brothel.
"It is said that there was an actor with unparalleled beauty who made people all over the world flock to him with his sword dance.
Even the dignitaries of the dynasty bowed to his splendid clothes without exception..."
Qiao Xi: "..." This Prince Rui really does everything he can. From now on, there will be no file record of the disappearance of the prince.
Although there is no such thing as sword dancing, entering a brothel is a fact.
At that time, in order to prove it, there will inevitably be a confrontation.
Fortunately, the old bustard was secretly dealt with, and now the confession that Prince Rui may use is that of Yang Tiankuo, who saw the host's back.
But there are people following this person all the time. If he takes action rashly, it will inevitably attract the attention of others.
"Do you like hearing this?" Qi Anze found that she couldn't walk past the storyteller's stall, so he had the idea of inviting him to his house.
The girl turned to look at him with a suspicious look on her face, "Host, sir, did you not associate these two things together, or do you really not care?"
According to the original text, by this time, he should have ascended to the throne of God, but the witchcraft incident has not yet come out, so the plot must have been delayed.
"I don't like hearing it. It reminds me of the time when the host was injured. Without that incident, your inner strength would not be possible..."
Qiao Xi said it politely, hoping to remind him that the mastermind behind the scenes was Prince Rui, not General Yuchi.
"It's okay, I don't care anymore. Besides, the power-enhancing medicine you gave me before is very useful. It won't take long for my internal power to be restored."
A few days later, Qiao Xi did not wait for the witchcraft incident to happen, but instead waited for the emperor's secret decree to enter the palace.
The sun was setting in the west, and its dim yellow light hit the red palace wall, forming small spots of light.
Looking up at the high palace wall, the girl carefully followed the chamberlain, muttering in her heart,
"What does this old man mean by meeting me at this time? Am I exposed? It shouldn't be."
There are a lot of things on my mind, but there is still a decent smile on my face.
Go to the study room,
Qiao Xi quietly rubbed his knees. This old man definitely did it on purpose, deliberately trying to intimidate him, so he allowed himself to kneel here.
It's been probably half an hour and there's still no sign of anyone.
Just as she was about to move her shoulders, a cough came from behind.
Although it was not the first time they met, it was indeed the first formal summons. Qiao Xi thought about the etiquette taught by her grandma and bowed down in a proper manner.
"No gifts."
"Raise your head and let me see."
When Qiao Xi heard his words, his brows jumped.
There are rumors in the market that the emperor is romantic, and he is attracted to him, right?
She quickly grabbed an ordinary person spray from the space.
The emperor looked at the mediocre-looking woman in front of him and lowered his head with disgust. What kind of eyes does this An'er have? To ask her to be the prince's concubine with such beauty is simply...
The emperor took several sips of tea before slowly getting to the point, "I heard that you were the one who saved the prince when he was injured?"
Qiao Xi: "..." It happened eight hundred years ago, but now I remember to care... Could it be that he heard that ballad?
"Your Majesty, she is a daughter of the people."
"Seeing that you are also weak and weak, tell me in detail how you saved your life."
Qiao Xi knew what Qi Anze said, so he made up a paragraph based on his words, which was roughly the same as what the prince said before.
"You have said so much, who can prove it to you?" The emperor interrupted her tirade and asked with a gloomy look.
"Your Majesty, Miss Yuanhua, who is beside the Queen, would like to see you."
The emperor glanced at the woman who was neither humble nor overbearing suspiciously, raised his chin slightly,
"Let her in."
Looking at the two women walking in one after another, Josie opened her eyes wide.
The one in the front wearing a purple skirt is the queen's personal maid, and the one in the back wearing an orange embroidered dress is actually the little mute Tassel they brought back from the brothel.
