Chapter 370 The Empress Dowager Forced a Male Concubine onto the Imperial Advisor

Xiao Tang's eyes flickered, and she nodded, "Okay, I'll go right away."

The old woman smiled, very satisfied with her cooperation.

The Empress Dowager's visit to her is never a good thing.

Cihe Palace.

Xiao Tang entered the hall and indeed saw the Empress Dowager, as well as several handsome men.

Looking at their appearance, with their fair and clean skin, Xiao Tang suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, sensing that something was wrong.

Stare at those people.

He hurriedly bowed to the Empress Dowager, his gaze sweeping over the men with a cunning look.

For some reason, the Empress Dowager got up from her armchair today and came over to help her up.

"Your Excellency, there's no need for such formalities. Please rise."

Seeing her acting so strangely, Xiao Tang felt a sense of foreboding.

Especially those men standing in a row, it was definitely not a joke.

Her intuition told her...

The Empress Dowager said, "Last time I made a decision too hastily, so this time I specially selected a few male favorites to send to you. They are all very handsome."

Xiao Tang: "..."

Just as I expected!

This Empress Dowager is truly relentless; she won't give up until she's completely cornered and has no spies.

Xiao Tang stared at the men, her expression freezing.

The man also noticed her gaze, put on a standard smile, and wished he could use every trick in the book to get the imperial advisor to take a liking to them.

The Empress Dowager's voice buzzed in her ears.

"Imperial Preceptor, if you fancy anyone, take them. If you like them all, take them all with you; these are all gifts from me."

Xiao Tang smiled awkwardly.

She really thanked him.

Why is the Empress Dowager so annoying?

You're only satisfied if you put eyeliner in, right?

Her gaze swept over the group of people, and she immediately said, "Your Majesty, to be honest, none of them quite suit my taste, and my male favorite is quite fond of vying for your favor."

"If he gets jealous, he's capable of killing people indiscriminately."

She pretended to be nervous.

He showed the Empress Dowager through his actions that she meant what she said.

Faced with Xiao Tang's refusal, the Empress Dowager seemed to have expected it. "No, these young masters are all my heartfelt wishes. If you don't accept them, it means you are not accepting my heartfelt wishes."

凸(艹皿艹)

Why does this auntie have so many fuss?

“Besides…” her eyes flickered, “if you refuse, then I will have no choice but to prepare a few women to send to the Regent’s Palace.”

Is this a blatant threat to her?!

Moreover, he threatened her by mentioning the situation of the women in the Regent's palace.

The key point is that the regent is the regent, so why is the imperial advisor being dragged into this? It's really ridiculous.

Xiao Tang's eyes darkened, but she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, if you wish to send women into the Prince's residence, it is none of my business!"

"Hehe, those women are nothing special."

Hearing the Empress Dowager's words, Xiao Tang was certain that the Empress Dowager had been prepared for this for some time.

Regardless of whether she was selective about these men, the Empress Dowager was determined to force women into Emperor Jingling's harem.

You can't stop them even if you want to.

Xiao Tang was speechless.

Should she really praise the Empress Dowager for being so clever, or should she say that the Empress Dowager has something wrong with her head?

Did they think that sending some women or male concubines would allow them to plant an informant and solve the problem?

Xiao Tang pursed her lips.

She glanced at the men.

She pretended to do some mysterious calculations with her fingers, then her face was full of shock. "This...this is not good!"

The Empress Dowager's brow twitched upon hearing this, and she looked at her, "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, I have consulted the oracle. It is said that if she takes a male concubine, there will be an even greater calamity after the snow disaster!"

"Really?" the Empress Dowager asked doubtfully.

Clearly, in the Empress Dowager's eyes, this "Hao Fang" was a scoundrel who talked nonsense and used sweet words to deceive her son.

What imperial advisor, what divine strategist, it's all nonsense.

Having risen to the position of Empress Dowager in the palace, how could she not see through this swindler who was deliberately trying to collect the court's salary?

Only her foolish son would believe in such a charlatan.

Oh no, and there's also the Regent. He seems so shrewd on ordinary days, but he's always turning a blind eye to the matter of the Imperial Advisor. It's utterly absurd.

The Empress Dowager did not believe it.

However, she still went along with Xiao Tang verbally, saying, "Since you've said that, then I really can't..."

"thump!"

Unexpectedly, a man in white quickly knelt down.

He knelt down heavily, his knees hitting the ground with a thud.

He looked at Xiao Tang with a desolate gaze: "Please, Imperial Preceptor, take me in, I...I really..."

He glanced at the Empress Dowager, his face showing fear.

The Empress Dowager watched coldly.

Slowly, she said in a cold voice, "Regardless of the divination result, I am giving you the opportunity to choose for yourself."

After saying this, she flicked her sleeve, walked up to a chair, and sat down.

Xiao Tang looked at the pitiful man and pursed her lips.

He moved his lips silently.

Xiao Tang read those two words, lowered her eyes, and agreed to let him stay.

...

The Regent's Palace.

Yan Jiu hesitated for a moment.

Di Jingling asked, "What is it?"

In the study, there was the scratching sound of a pen falling on paper.

Perhaps it was because Yan Jiu's expression was so strange that even if he didn't want to guess, he could still make some guesses.

Yan Jiu lowered his head in a dilemma before whispering to Di Jingling, "Your Highness, I just found out some news... The Imperial Advisor has chosen a male favorite from the Empress Dowager and brought him back to the manor."

Cough cough cough...

Isn't this the same as the princess choosing a male concubine?
