Chapter 952: Chapter 952-Rare Strange
Xie Qing felt that she had grown up and her mentality had changed, so she gradually became indifferent.
Of course, there was a sense of being forced to grow. It was impossible to not change. Xie Xian’s brain was full of holes and traps. One after another, there would be another after he dodged one. When he really faced someone and took a detour not to fight you head-on, he was just playing the fool. Xiao Baoxin, on the other hand, was not a fake. He came with real benefits. He did not get angry or hit people. Once he hit them, he would hit them to death.
There were two of them, and he couldn’t deal with them alone.
Sh * t ~ Forget it.
He could only tell himself that he had grown up and become more magnanimous.
Grievance?
It was fine as long as he knew. After all, he was also the Pill Sun Yin. He had to take care of his reputation.
Moreover, the Xie family was like adding oil to a burning fire. They could not afford to burn each other. At least in the eyes of outsiders, no matter how ruthless the Xie family was, they would deal with them together. If they beat you up, your family would be sent to the small coal mine below the eighteenth level of hell, never to have a chance to turn things around again.
Let you off because of internal discord?
That did not exist.
Due to all these reasons, Xie Qing decided to let it go.
.. So what if he didn’t let it go? Xie Xian was clearly planning everything, and everything was under his control. He didn’t have any intention of taking him as an opponent.
Ever since the new Emperor ascended the throne, Xie Xian had been extremely busy. He grabbed everything from the inside out, making all kinds of policies, fighting wits and courage with the various aristocratic families and various interest groups. If it wasn’t for Xiao Baoxin’s pregnancy, he probably wouldn’t even have the time to stay in the residence. Ever since Emperor Yong Ping died, he had become the Grand Tutor and had the intention to control the government.
This was because Xiao Baoxin was different from the past. When he was pregnant, he would go all out and shut himself in. Because of the butler, he had to come and go, and show his face in public.
During the new year, in order to show off her presence in the harem and even the entire Daliang Empire, Empress Dowager held a banquet and invited the concubines. Xiao Baoxin could not refuse, so he could only enter the palace while he was five months pregnant.
The Xie family had a taboo against pregnant women touching sharp things, but Xie Xian did not. He still let Xiao Baoxin fully equip himself with the big killing weapon he had given him.
Although the pregnancy was not obvious, and the loose sleeves of the robe blocked the pregnancy from the back, the jade belt that hid the soft sword was still not fastened.
A head was grand enough, but with a jade belt, it was a little too cumbersome.
Just like this, a faint layer of makeup was enough to make her look radiant.
Xie Xian’s status determined Xiao Baoxin’s position in the palace. From the moment she appeared, Empress Dowager Xiao pulled her to the seat of honor and sat beside Empress Dowager Xiao.
It was just a small talk, and Xiao Baoxin was already extremely annoyed.
Madam Wang was pregnant. Third Master Xie was so nervous that he was afraid of being swept away by the wind, let alone the palace banquet. She directly refused and did not attend.
Xie Wan looked like she was about to give birth and could give birth in minutes, so she naturally closed her door and did not go out.
In the entire Xie Manor, only she, Lady Cai, and Twelfth Madam Wang had entered the palace. Twelfth Madam Wang had always been on good terms with Empress Dowager Xiao, and it had not changed for several years. However, Empress Dowager Xiao wanted to get close to her, so Twelfth Madam Wang could not stop her. She just sat down with a smile.
If it was just superficial courtesy, Xiao Baoxin would not have been so impatient.
The main reason was that Empress Dowager Xiao’s mentality had collapsed. Ever since she saw Xiao Baoxin and saw her in this state, she even had a belly…
The children that she had tried so hard to get, she did not manage to keep any of them. Instead, Xiao Baoxin’s looks were always on the line, and the children were jumping out one by one. She was annoyed, but Empress Dowager Xiao was envious. There was nothing to be envious about.
Her husband was dead, and there was no possibility of a future.
He would spend the rest of his life guarding an emperor who was not his biological son…She was only 21 years old now…
Day and night, she couldn’t think about Xiao Baoxin. Whenever she thought about her, she would be envious, jealous, and hateful.
Now face to face, the heart is like boiling hot water, surging, ah.
In order to show her closeness, she had to hold Xiao Baoxin’s hand at every turn. She kept looking at him with concern. The more she looked at him, the more bitter she became. The more she looked at him, the more her mentality collapsed.
Consort Chu was not easy to deal with. If she was unhappy, no one would be happy.
What could Empress Dowager Xiao do to her?
She was just taking the title of the emperor’s mother and doing whatever she wanted. The emperor still has a biological mother. Now, he listens to you. When he grows up, he will naturally be close to his biological mother. Although she was only a consort, she had the Chu family behind her and the Fifth Prince by her side. Her future was promising. No matter how much Empress Dowager Xiao disliked her, she did not dare to target her.
It didn’t matter if the Chu family didn’t think highly of her or thought highly of her. Her surname was still Chu. Even if it was for the Fifth Prince, they wouldn’t give up on her just like that.
The weather was unpredictable. Who knew if the little Emperor grew up and something unexpected happened? Who would be the emperor?
.. Don’t tell her that the Chu family couldn’t beat the Pan family’s Consort Xian, who was a coachman of the Langya Wang family!
“Empress Dowager, please let Madam Xiao off. Why can’t you tell that Madam Xiao is tired after sitting for so long? My face can’t take it anymore.” Chu Jiuniang said with a smile. She sat below Consort Lu with light makeup on her face. The corners of her mouth curled up into a mocking smile.
“The late emperor has only died for a short time, and the empress dowager has already arranged a banquet…I really don’t see anything worth celebrating.”She stared at her fingers that were like green onions and said indifferently.
Empress Dowager Xiao’s expression was ugly, but she could only pretend that she did not hear it.
What could he do in front of all these women? Was he really as shameless as her and started quarreling on the spot?
Either how to say concubine born, or how to say big scene.
If he wanted to make others lose face, he would first make himself lose face. This was a move that would hurt the enemy 800 times and hurt himself 2000 times.
“You see, I was so happy that I was rude.”Empress Dowager Xiao turned to Xiao Baoxin with a smile.””Is Madam Xiao’s body still healthy? There’s still some time before we leave. Why don’t you go to the warm pavilion next door for a while?”
“Furen is blessed. Children are born one after another. Grand Tutor is also a person who cares about others. Once you are pregnant, you can’t be seen. We haven’t seen each other for several years.”
He addressed her as Madam Xiao.
After all, in front of everyone, no matter how close they were, they would not be in a hurry to call their relatives sister-in-law and lose face.
Xiao Baoxin didn’t know how to appreciate favors.”Empress Dowager, what are you saying? I have nothing else but my body is quite good. I haven’t seen the Empress Dowager for a few years. It’s rare to get together, so I can’t bear to rest.”
The crowd below turned their heads to look at him. They really didn’t expect that giving birth to a child would increase one’s IQ. They could actually hear polite words from Xiao Baoxin’s mouth…
It was rare and strange.
Empress Dowager Xiao was even happier when she heard this. Xiao Baoxin was the prime minister. Otherwise, she would have collapsed if she had been the one to put on the show and Chu Jiuniang was there to ruin it.
