"Your Majesty, did your concubine say that you can’t feed these officials too much?" "Indeed, you like to do things like getting fed up and have nothing to do. You come here every day to catch chenqie’s braids."
Qin Shuo smiled as he looked at Hu Xiao who suddenly appeared, her face did not reveal the slightest bit of displeasure or blame towards Hu Xiao for barging in so rudely just now.
"The empress is right, it was Zhen’s fault."
Patting the chair beside him, he raised his eyebrows at Hu Xiao.
Seeing that, Hu Xiao also smiled as she walked over, without caring about the ministers who were worried about her sudden appearance.
"Your Majesty, chenqie heard that it seems like chenqie is about to be dismissed again? Was it because someone was marching for Chenqie? However, this is not something that chenqie can control. Besides, chenqie feels that chenqie’s actions are not wrong. "
Looking at the Hu Xiao who was no longer hiding from him in the past, yet was sticking to him today, even the way he spoke had changed quite a bit, and now, Qin Shuo was trying his best to suppress his smile.
"Your Majesty! Empress, please behave yourself! Right now, they were discussing official business. Empress was, after all, the noble head of an entire palace, how could they ... "How can that be!?"
The man wanted to say that was being presumptuous, but Hu Xiao’s smile became more brilliant.
"Didn’t you all say that I was the one who bewitched His Majesty? Am I bewitching His Majesty right now? What do you think? "
Seeing that Qin Shuo was still silent, and did not stop him from doing what he had just done, the previously nervous Hu Xiao became even happier, and even happier.
"You ... How can you be so shameless! "
Moreover, Hu Xiao was getting more and more outrageous, and originally did not want to see women being so presumptuous, and even appearing in public, what could Hu Xiao be considered to be today that could cause these ministers to do as they pleased? This was the outcome.
"Your Majesty, insulting chenqie in public is a crime."
Unexpectedly, Hu Xiao ignored the person and turned to look at Qin Shuo as she spoke.
Seeing that, Wen Fuchen could no longer sit still and anxiously asked for forgiveness.
"Your Majesty, this Master Lee didn’t do it on purpose. Even though my words are a bit shameless, this Master Lee’s words can’t be considered as an insult ..."
"Oh, it’s not considered excessive for me to be insulted, but it’s also wrong for me to do what I say? It is hard for you to always be His Majesty’s courtiers. "
Hu Xiao was still as charming as ever. She had the appearance of a little woman, as if she wanted to prove the fact that she had harmed Qin Shuo.
"If you were to say that I am bewitching His Majesty, then that would be fine. But if you were to say something unpleasant, could it be that those few people here can surpass me in terms of conduct? Don’t you forget why your Sui City can be like this? "
"You say that you are doing this for the world, but your hearts are actually looking down on women! Say something unpleasant, a woman doesn’t have to be inferior in any way to men! "
Hu Xiao stood up and walked step by step in front of the official. Her face no longer had the slightest hint of a smile, but the words that came out of her mouth caused the complacent people’s faces to instantly change.
"What does Empress mean by this!?" Why can’t a man compare to a woman!? A girl should be taught by her husband at home! If Empress is not convinced, we can compete with him! "
A man who could not stand the excitement said anxiously, but this made Hu Xiao even happier, and managed to achieve her goal step by step.
"Since you wish to compete, then I shall accompany you to play a round. However, even if the match is won or lost, there should still be a reward and punishment right? Your Majesty, what do you think? "
He turned around and looked at Qin Shuo, but the threat in his words made Qin Shuo smile faintly.
Saying that, Qin Shuo finally understood why Hu Xiao was so generous to come here, and why she had to do so much.
"Since the empress has brought it up, the reward and punishment should be decided by the empress herself."
Since Qin Shuo had already spoken, even if there were any objections, they did not dare to say it out loud, so it was obvious that they could not afford to lose.
"It’s very simple. If I lose to you all, I will not interfere, and all that you want is my backing. If you don’t want it, then it doesn’t matter, but if I win, then don’t let me interfere with the political affairs of the imperial court to threaten Your Majesty and you two in the future. Also, if you two are aware that I have mentioned to Your Majesty the matter of having a girl attend the school before, then this is the wager, and you all still need to do your best to help."
would never believe it if he did not come prepared, but after hearing Hu Xiao’s bet, she was indeed a little dissatisfied, but this slight dissatisfaction was relieved after Hu Xiao looked over with a comforting smile, Hu Xiao never did anything that she was not confident in.
"In that case, let’s just listen to the empress."
Hu Xiao was very satisfied with Qin Shuo’s cooperation, the two most important people had already agreed, the few ministers could no longer object, and what Hu Xiao had said about the wager was indeed not a big matter for them, if they win, then it would be their final goal.
"Go and prepare yourself. There will be three rounds. The first round will be a poetry contest. The second round will be the defense, and the third round will also be the victory."
Seeing that both sides had agreed to the matter, Qin Shuo immediately instructed Wei Shi to prepare the necessary ingredients to compete in the topic.
In the past, there had been similar matches, and even though they had prepared Qin Shuo, no one had dared to have any sort of meaning, because since Qin Shuo had agreed to it, he would definitely not side with anyone.
did not say anything, but Wen Fuchen had even participated in setting the questions.
Hu Xiao did not like poems in the first place, so losing was a reasonable thing, and even the ancient poem in her stomach was just memorized by him by memory. If Hu Xiao had to do some kind of poem, then it would be better for him to let Hu Xiao run ten rounds around herself.
He seemed to be overly confident in Hu Xiao.
"Doesn’t Empress intend to continue like this? Why did she give up so easily in the last two rounds? "It would be better not to waste that time, it would be embarrassing to just leave."
In the face of these words, the smile on Hu Xiao’s face did not change, and when she looked at the person who was provoking him, she remained as gentle as ever.
Your majesty, just now, you said that you will win three rounds and two rounds, this is just the first round. I have witnessed the aspect of East Court that is adept at poetry, but I still need to win two rounds to consider it as a victory, what do you think, Milord?
Seeing that Hu Xiao was still calm and collected, the anxious Mo Zhu, Zhao Qiyan and Yin Fufeng calmed down. The theory behind the poem was actually Hu Xiao’s weakness.
