Chapter 9: Newcomers (2)

Hearing this, Yun Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

Here, Xia Rui continued to ask: "Did your father force you to make such an oath?" ”

Yun Xiao shook his head and said, "No, I set it up myself, and my father didn't force me to ......."

When Xia Rui heard this, he immediately exploded: "Father didn't force you, why did you make such an oath?" I know...... On that day, my father was seriously ill and announced that you had entered the inner hall of the Chengqian Palace, and you made an oath, right? ”

Yun Xiao saw that he was angry, so he had to say honestly: "Yes......"

Seeing this, Xia Rui had mixed feelings in his heart for a while, and when they were mixed together, it was indescribable sadness:

"You made such an oath to make your father feel at ease, right? My father is relieved, so what about me...... What should I do? Have you ever wondered if I'm okay?! How can you casually swear a poisonous oath, do you know how important you are in my heart? I'm afraid you'll make a mistake......"

Yun Xiao really didn't think about this.

She was bold, looked at Xia Rui's eyes, and said softly: "As long as the concubine does not live up to you and does not break the oath, the concubine will be fine, don't worry about the concubine ......"

"And what if God hears something wrong?!"

Yun Xiao was speechless.

She was secretly glad that she didn't tell Xia Rui all about that day, if Xia Rui knew that she had also guaranteed her clansmen to the emperor, she would definitely be furious.

At this moment, she can only say the following sentence: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, don't be angry......"

Xia Rui rubbed his hands very uneasily, his eyes drifted into the distance with his memory, and he said with melancholy:

"When my mother was alive, I secretly saw her swear to her father that she would never interfere in everything related to Loulan again, but in the end, ...... She didn't live up to the vows she made, and it wasn't long before she was sick for a whole year, and finally it was asserted that she died of illness! ”

When Yun Xiao heard this, he was full of excitement: "Loulan? ”

Xia Rui looked at her and said, "Yes, a small country that has been destroyed by our Great Xia Kingdom for thirty years......"

Yun Xiao couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, and asked, "Why did she meddle in Loulan's affairs?" ”

Xia Rui shook his head and said, "I don't know, the mother concubine will never tell me, I only know that in the court of our Great Xia Kingdom, we must be cautious in making an oath, especially a poisonous oath!" ”

When Yun Xiao heard this, he hurriedly pulled his wandering thoughts back, stabilized his mind, and said: "Okay, the concubine knows the severity, this time the concubine is not good, the concubine assures the emperor that she will never make an oath again in the future, your majesty, don't worry!" ”

However, it didn't work.

Xia Rui frowned tightly and looked at Yun Xiao and said:

"How could the Yun family give birth to such a stupid girl as you?! I knew that I shouldn't have let you like me, so I put you in this harem, and raised you with good food and drink, and when I miss you, I will take a look at it from a distance, just like a baby, so that you can live peacefully until you grow old! You always act like a hero, last time my father was poisoned by the holy water droplets, the queen mother originally wanted to embarrass me, you deliberately took advantage of my inattention, slipped to the front, and helped me top, fortunately you are fine, otherwise, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life! ”

Yun Xiao couldn't help but be very embarrassed when he saw him going through the old accounts again: "Why do you still remember this?" ”

"Why don't you remember?!" When Xia Rui heard this, he glared at Yun Xiao fiercely, "A bold and arrogant woman like you is always full of confidence in herself, and no matter whether others are worried about you or not, I will definitely write it down for you one by one!" ”

"You don't like concubines like this?!"

Xia Rui saw that Yun Xiao was holding back a smile again, and his eyebrows were crooked in anger: "I'm so worried about you, you still laugh?!" ”

Yun Xiao saw that he was really angry, and he was about to get angry, so he hurriedly reached out to hug him and said:

"The concubine used to be a stupid girl, bold and arrogant, too confident, without the demeanor of a queen, in the future, the concubine must seriously study how to be a queen who does not lose her manners, all bold things must be done with the permission of the emperor, and the concubine promises that she will never laugh at the emperor again, and she will not laugh in private!"

Xia Rui listened to Yun Xiao's words, and his anger was about to disappear, however, when he heard the last sentence, he immediately pushed Yun Xiao who was holding him away, straightened it straight, and asked seriously: "You still laughed at me in private?!" ”

Yun Xiao realized that she was careless and overdone, so she hurriedly shook her head and denied it: "The concubine didn't ...... The concubine really didn't have ......"

However, it was already completely too late.

Xia Rui stood up angrily and said angrily: "Look how I punish you tonight!" Hmph......"

Early the next morning, the four newcomers who had just entered the palace came to Fengyi Palace to say hello to Yun Xiao.

According to the rules of the palace, the concubines must come to the middle palace every day to ask the queen for peace, once in the morning and evening, on the first and fifteenth day of the new year, the queen needs to lead the palace concubines to Shou'an Palace to ask the queen mother, if there is no special grace, no one can be absent.

Although it was said that the concubines asked Yun Xiao for peace, Yun Xiao still got up immediately after Xia Rui left and prepared early.

However, she was not in a hurry to get out.

Because, if the flower tilt has not yet arrived.

In Yun Xiao's opinion, even if Xia Rui protects Hua Tingruo again, there is no reason for the queen to wait for concubines.

However, Yun Xiao could sit leisurely in the inner hall and drink tea and eat snacks, while the four newly sealed concubines could only stand in the courtyard, with no place to sit and no refreshments available.

According to the rules of the Great Xia Palace, the concubines came to ask the queen for peace, and without the queen's summons, they were not allowed to go to the main hall of Fengyi Palace to sit in the Fengyi Palace.

In this way, today's invitation was originally a contest between the queen and Concubine Li, but it was more like the old man giving the newcomer a horse.

Yun Xiao didn't care about this, she sent a steady Qianyue to check outside, and Qianyue came back to report to Yun Xiaoyu:

"Although they are both concubines, but the concubine Gao always feels that she is superior to the newcomers because she is in the family of Prime Minister Zuo, the other three have only brought one maid, the concubine has brought four, and the other three are all standing, only the concubine Gao asked the maid to bow down as a stool and sit for her, it has been a long time!"

Yun Xiao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and chuckled: "The woman from the Gao family is 'impressive', it's just ...... Concubine Gao is so arrogant, the palace is looking forward to it, how will Concubine Li react when she comes in and sees her! ”

Yun Xiao thought, it should be a lively show, after all, Concubine Li didn't dare to be so presumptuous in the harem.
