When Emperor Xu Kangdi first had to report that he came, he didn't expect the scene to be so bad that he forgot to let the clan relatives and important ministers avoid it.

When he saw that Xu Huaijing's face was pale, and when he approached, there was a faint bloody aura, and his already angry face became even darker.

He suppressed his anger and ordered the attendant next to him to take Xu Huaijing to treat his wounds.

If you don't like it again, it's still his own brother in the end. If you ignore this crowd at all, you will never be able to talk about it.

Xu Huaijing didn't want to go.

Princess Xu Huai sensed the resistance around him, patted his arm weakly, signaled his peace of mind with her eyes, and said tremblingly: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Then, Emperor Xu Kang ordered others to withdraw from the side courtyard, and only called Princess Xu Huai, Qian Zhaoyi, and the prince to enter the main hall of the side courtyard together.

Seeing Xu Kangdi, Qian Zhaoyi, who was still panicked before, calmed down.

At first, when Princess Xu Huai broke in strongly, Qian Zhaoyi was caught off guard.

She has Emperor Xu Kang's permission to "teach" Xu Huaijing here, even if the prince wants to meddle in this matter, he will not be so arrogant.

The woman of Xia Kingdom, even if she is a queen, is not so crazy in her affairs. Princess Xu Huai has never seen this kind of road, Qian Zhaoyi has really never seen it.

Immediately afterwards, Princess Xu Huai offered such a big hat as "family trade-off", she didn't understand national politics and court affairs, how could she not panic?

The two moves before and after did not follow the routine, and Qian Zhaoyi had no idea for a while, so she had no power to parry.

Xu Kangdi's arrival was like a reassurance pill for her.

She has been in the palace for twenty years, and on the bright side, she should have been the kind of concubine who was struggling-

The mother's family was powerless, and she failed to give birth to an heir, and the prince Xu Huaijing, who was recorded in her name, was picked up by the Empress Dowager, and was not yet loved by Emperor Xu Kang.

But although Xu Kangdi was not very fond of her, he never snubbed her. Because she knows very well what to say and do in front of Xu Kangdi.

Entering the hall, Xu Kangdi sat on the main seat, scanned the people under the seat with a calm face, and finally fixed his eyes on Qian Zhaoyi's face.

"What's going on?" His face was angry, but his voice was not loud, as if he was lacking in energy.

The contradictory expression and tone give people a sense of "unfathomable sacred heart".

Qian Zhaoyi bowed and wiped the corners of her eyes with a silk, her gentle tone full of uneasiness and self-blame.

“…… With my cousin's wholehearted love for Your Majesty, if she were still alive, she would definitely teach Ming Che very well, and she would never disappoint Your Majesty. The concubine saw that Ming Che was angry with the Sacred Heart today, and in addition to being afraid, she also hated iron and steel. ”

She dared to treat Xu Huaijing like that, obviously because of Xu Kangdi's acquiescence and connivance.

And the reason why she was able to get this acquiescence and connivance was because she knew Xu Kangdi's thoughts, especially Xu Kangdi's complicated thoughts about Xu Huaijing.

Speaking of this, she half-raised her eyes, and her eyes looked at Xu Kangdi timidly, as if she was uneasy.

"The concubine came from a humble background, and when she became an adult, she entered the palace to accompany her, although she was favored by the saint to occupy the position of Zhaoyi, in the final analysis, she was a short-sighted woman in the deep palace. Whenever there is a major event related to the royal system, I will always be unable to hold my breath. Today's concubines may have been negligent in proportion, and please punish Your Majesty. ”

Princess Xu Huai, who was watching in silence, suddenly realized.

Qian Zhaoyi first used her late cousin Qian Baoci to talk about things, and secretly reminded Xu Kangdi that Qian Baoci's death was caused by Xu Huaijing, which successfully deepened Xu Kangdi's dislike for Xu Huaijing.

Then, she put on a gentle and considerate, humble and self-aware little woman posture, and showed her loyalty without a trace, pointing to "I care too much about the emperor's anger and am eager to maintain and please", Xu Kangdi will definitely be used, and he will protect her more.

If Xu Huaijing is tough and confrontational, it is to provoke the authority of his father and emperor, and he will not be cheap.

But as a prince, if he makes a move that is more likely to pretend to be miserable than a harem woman, it will only make Emperor Xu Kangdi even more disgusted with him.

For example, the crown prince, whose biological mother is the current queen of the Xia Kingdom; Another example is King Xu, his biological mother is Concubine De.

When it was inconvenient for these two princes to pretend to be miserable and win the mercy of the sacred heart, they had their own queen and concubine Shu to help.

In this way, there is naturally a little more room for advance and retreat in front of the holy car.

And Xu Huaijing didn't have this kind of help, so he couldn't do anything.

Sure enough, after listening to Qian Zhaoyi's words, Emperor Xu Kangdi bowed his head lightly with a sense of appeasement, and turned to look at Princess Xu Huai, his gloomy expression became more and more secretive.

Qian Zhaoyi said softly: "Your Majesty is angry." The concubine led His Majesty to teach and restrain the five princes today, and Princess Huai forcibly obstructed it, although she was suspected of disobeying the holy will, but after all, Princess Xu Huai had not been taught by the palace grandmother. ”

She paused meaningfully and subtly before continuing.

“…… After all, there is a difference. She had joined the Xu Huai Mansion not long ago, and it was inevitable that something would go wrong, and she had been lenient by the Empress Dowager before, and few people were around to restrain and teach her after marriage, and her heart had not yet completely surrendered to my big summer power. I hope that Your Majesty will be forgiving. ”

Qian Zhaoyi may not have much skill in other things, but what kind of words can be used to stir Xu Kangdi's mind, she is obviously very proficient in this matter.

These words seem to be interceding for Princess Xu Huai, but for Xu Kangdi, they "can't listen to it".

The most important thing is the sentence "After marriage, few people are around to restrain and teach".

Princess Xu Huai understands that this is implying that she will be placed under the control of Qian Zhaoyi, the titular "mother-in-law".

Even if she could hear the sound outside the strings, Xu Kangdi could naturally understand it.

Based on this alone, Princess Xu Huai wanted to praise Qian Zhaoyi, she has not been in vain in the past 20 years. At least he knows how to survive in front of the king.

It's a pity that Qian Zhaoyi's skill was learned after she entered the palace as an adult, and Princess Xu Huai knew how to play when she was young.

Although the family of the Son of Heaven is different from the family, there will always be some unavoidable commonalities in the inner thoughts of the emperors of all countries in the world, and it just so happens that these are what the emperor must learn.

At least, no matter which emperor of the country, when he encounters the scene of the so-called "royal system and face" and "delicate and favorite concubine" falling into the water at the same time, he must save the former first.

"Princess Huai," Emperor Xu Kangdi nodded without being salty, "You were originally a woman from a family, although King Xu Huai is not in the palace, but the rules in the palace can't be messed with, and it's not something you can interfere with." ”

Princess Xu Huai stepped forward and replied: "Back to the imperial brother, the courtiers are indeed at fault, but let me ask, I must be Princess Xu Huai standing here, and please don't forget it, so this punishment, whether it is serious or not, I have to come out to protect King Xu Huai." ”

Xu Kangdi said again: "Then you are the king of Juehuai who should not be punished, so you have a grudge against me?" ”

Princess Xu Huai didn't back down at all, but held her head high and said: "How can you sweep the world if you don't sweep a house, presumably the emperor is naturally much clearer than me, and if there is a mistake, it will be punished, and it will be fine, but if the people below deliberately rely on the prestige of the imperial brother to deliberately make a black hand, what should I do?" ”

After speaking, Princess Xu Huai stared at Qian Zhaoyi deadly, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Finally came to this point, this is the attention that Xu Nankui gave her, and got rid of the last thorn in King Xu Huai's heart.
