Chapter 388 Attacking a woman?!

Since there were two children around, Xiao Ji did not ask Hu Yanyu about his purpose of coming. Only after breakfast and on the way to the Yangxin Palace to handle government affairs did Xiao Ji ask about this matter.

Xie Yao naturally told Hu Yanyu all about his plan.

Xiao Ji said, "I thought Yaoyao would agree without hesitation." After the two spent a long time together, Xiao Ji also understood.

His daughter Yaoyao is always particularly indulgent towards pretty girls.

Xie Yao said: "It's all your Majesty's fault."

Xiao Ji raised his eyebrows, "Blame me?"

"Your Majesty, you always attract so many people."

Xiao Ji laughed angrily, "The Queen knows clearly that it is not me who attracts the attention of others, but my status as the Emperor."

When he was an unpopular prince, there were not so many people who were targeting him. In fact, everyone avoided him as much as possible, for fear of getting on board his sinking ship.

"Your Majesty is right." Xie Yao nodded and said, "I'm afraid this matter is not over yet."

Yesterday, His Majesty had a tough attitude, and with the presence of envoys from the Northern Frontier, the court officials restrained themselves a little and did not support Huyan Yu at the banquet.

But now in the court of Xia State, those court officials have not and will not give up.

It's possible that the old matter will be brought up again today, and it will never end.

Xiao Ji also thought of this, and held Xie Yao's hand, rubbing it in his palm, "I'll take care of these things."

Xie Yao was immediately happy. She held hands with Xiao Ji and headed towards the Yangxin Palace.

Just as Xie Yao and Xiao Ji expected.

As soon as the two arrived at the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, a minister submitted a memorial suggesting that Hu Yanyu should be accepted and canonized as the imperial consort.

It was also reported at a high level that the matter concerned the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and accepting Huyan Yu would also reassure the northern Xinjiang region and ensure peace on the border.

Xie Yao only took one look and laughed in anger, "This memorial says that if Your Majesty does not marry Princess Huyan, Your Majesty will be a sinner for all eternity."

Xiao Ji hurriedly offered a cup of tea, then took the memorial from Xie Yao, flipped through it, and said, "Zhang Han from the Ministry of Rites, I have an impression of him."

"Sinan."

Xiao Ji called out to the outside world, "This Lord Zhang has a childhood sweetheart, right?"

His meaning was very clear, to make this matter public.

He hasn't even figured out what's happening in his own backyard, but you're meddling in his affairs.

Xie Yao blinked, "The mistress of my childhood sweetheart?"

"Yes." Xiao Ji nodded, "He was born in a poor family, and was favored by the Minister of Personnel, who asked him if he wanted to get married."

"He concealed the fact that he was engaged to his childhood sweetheart, married the minister's daughter, and secretly kept his childhood sweetheart in his outer house."

Xie Yao said: "He himself sells himself for fame, no wonder he also hopes that Your Majesty will do the same."

"What the Queen said..." Xiao Ji was helpless, "It's a rough statement, but the truth is there."

The emperor and empress rejected Zhang Han's memorial, and that same day Zhang Han's concubine stopped Zhang Han's carriage on the avenue outside the palace gate.

Barely half a year after their marriage, the news that Zhang Han had a mistress spread throughout the court and the country.

That afternoon, Zhu Qing came in and reported, "The wife of the Minister of Rites wants to see you."

The Minister of Rites was Zhang Han, who married the daughter of the Minister of Personnel and kept a concubine. However, Xie Yao was really surprised that the daughter of the Minister came to the palace to ask to see her.

"Xuan." Xie Yao said.

The daughter of the Minister of Personnel dressed as a woman. She was not very beautiful, but her temperament was outstanding.

But Xie Yao looked at her face with a slightly gloomy look. Although she had makeup on her face, the bruises on her cheeks were faintly visible.

This is... Zhang Han taking action?

What the hell?! Attacking the innocent wife!

"Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen." Lu Qingyun stepped forward and bowed apologetically.

Xie Yao personally stepped forward, helped her up, and looked at her cheek, "Zhang Han did it?"
