The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day

Xiao Qiming put down his fist and went on.

"Then I went to inquire about it, and then I knew that someone had spread the story that concubine Xiao was the lone star of Tiansha. Now many people in the city know that concubine Xiao is the lone star of Tiansha, which annoys me to death! If you go to the palace again next time, tell concubine Xiao about it so that she can be prepared."

Xiao Qiming is usually careless and nervous, but he is not stupid. He knows that someone is deliberately calculating concubine Xiao.

He doesn't have any feelings for concubine Xiao, but concubine Xiao's surname is Xiao after all. If she is bullied by outsiders, he doesn't look good.

Xiao Zhilan stood up quickly and didn't run out.

Xiao Qiming shouted at her, "Why are you going?"

"I'll find my parents!"

Xiao Zhilan hurried to her parents' room and repeated what her eldest brother said.

Xue Shi and Xiao Lingfeng both changed their faces.

Xiao Xixi is the lone star of the heavenly ghost. Only their family knows it. They have never disclosed it to anyone. How did it spread?

If this kind of thing makes a big deal, it will certainly cause great trouble to Xiao Xi. Maybe even the identity of the crown prince's side imperial concubine will be lost, and the Xiao family will suffer.

Xiao Lingfeng immediately said, "hurry into the palace and tell Xiao Xi about it. I'll find out who's spreading rumors."

Xue Shi said hello.

She didn't even have time for lunch, so she hurried into the palace in a carriage.

In the Qingge hall.

Xiao Xi was preparing to have lunch when quartz suddenly came to the door.

He politely saluted, and then said, "the empress has something to ask you. Please go there immediately."

It's normal for the queen to summon her concubines. It's not a big deal.

But Xiao Xi felt a little different in her heart.

She had a hunch that something bad might happen when she went out.

But the queen of Qin couldn't refuse the invitation. Even if he knew that there was a pit ahead, Xiao Xi had to go forward.

Xiao Xi said, "father-in-law Shi, wait a moment. Let me change my clothes."

Quartz: "please try to hurry up. Don't let the queen wait too long."

Xiao Xixi winked at Baoqin quietly.

Baoqin understood. She and Xiao Xi walked into the bedroom.

When the door was closed, Xiao Xi immediately said, "come on, find me a thick cotton pants!"

Baoqin didn't understand: "don't you need to wear cotton pants now?"

"I don't wear cotton trousers to keep warm, but to prevent being beaten."

Baoqin was surprised: "who dares to beat you?"

Xiao Xixi: "I have a hunch that I may be punished when I go out this time. I have to prepare in advance. Even if I am really beaten, at least cotton pants can help me alleviate some of my pain."

Baoqin's face turned white with fear: "are you serious? Why did the queen punish you? You didn't do anything wrong!"

"Quartz is still waiting outside. I don't have time to explain to you. Please help me find a pair of cotton pants. Remember to be thicker!"

Baoqin can only do as he says,

She found the thickest cotton trousers from the cabinet and handed them to Xiao Xi.

Xiao Xi quickly put it on, and then changed into a chest length Ru skirt with navy blue and carmine.

The skirt is very loose. At first glance, you can't see how thick pants she's wearing.

Baoqin was very flustered. She felt that if the Queen really wanted to punish concubine Xiao, a pair of cotton trousers alone could not work. The pain would still hurt.

At the thought that concubine Xiao might be beaten, Baoqin was very anxious.

"Madam, I'm going to inform the Prince now. The prince dotes on you so much that he won't be willing to punish you by the queen."

Xiao Xixi hurriedly stopped her: "don't! If the crown prince knows about it, it will only intensify the contradiction between him and the queen. The crown prince is now fledgling. If he breaks his face with the queen, it won't do him any good."

"But what do you do?"

Xiao Xixi comforted: "don't worry, I have internal power to protect my body. Even if I'm really beaten, I can carry it. The big deal is to lie in bed for a few days and eat more bowls of rice later. I'll be fine soon!"

Baoqin was almost crying: "when are you kidding?"

A quartz inquiry sounded outside the door.

"Madam, haven't you changed yet?"

Xiao Xi quickly answered, "OK, OK, that's good!"

She whispered to the Baoqin.

"I'll be back as soon as I go. I'm sure it'll be fine. You can stay in the Qingge hall at ease. Don't go anywhere, let alone inform the crown prince. Remember?"

Baoqin could only answer with red eyes: "I remember."

Xiao Xixi tidied up her sleeves and skirt, looked at herself in the mirror, and determined that there was no problem with her appearance. Then she pushed the door and went out.

She said to the quartz waiting outside.

"Let's go."

"Here."

……

Xue hurried to the Qingge hall.

The atmosphere in the Qingge hall is normal.

Except for Baoqin, everyone else thought that concubine Xiao's going out this time was no different from usual, and should be back soon.

Baoqin was still secretly worried. She was quite surprised to see Xue's coming.

"Madam, didn't you come this morning? Why did you come into the palace again? Did something fall here?"

Xue Shi waved his hand: "no, I'm looking for concubine Xiao."

Baoqin looked gloomy: "the empress has been called away by the people sent by the queen."

Xue Shi was surprised: "how could the Queen's speed be so fast?!"

Baoqin heard the speech and hurriedly asked, "does madam know something?"

Xue Shi briefly told the rumors outside.

"I came to the palace specially to tell concubine Xiao about it so that she could prepare in advance. Unexpectedly, I was a little late."

Baoqin was very anxious. When she heard Xue's words, she felt like a fire, which made her confused.

If empress Qin has really heard the rumors about the Tiansha lone star, then concubine Xiao's trip may not be as simple as being punished. She may not even hold the position of concubine Xiao.

Baoqin was in a hurry.

Xue urged, "what are you doing here? Go and inform the prince. Now only the prince can save concubine Xiao!"

Baoqin: "but the empress said that the crown prince should not interfere in this matter."

"If the crown prince doesn't intervene, concubine Xiao will be finished. Do you have the heart to watch concubine Xiao go to the cold palace and spend the rest of her life alone?"

Baoqin naturally doesn't want Princess Xiao to suffer.

She hesitated and decided to inform her royal highness.

The prince is so smart that he may have a way to keep concubine Xiao without offending the queen of Qin.

As for whether concubine Xiao would punish her afterwards, she couldn't care.

As long as concubine Xiao can be safe, she will admit even if she is beaten and punished!

Baoqin explained to Qingsong a few words, told him to watch Qingge hall, and then hurried to Mingguang palace.

Xue Shi went with him.
