Qin Shuo’s mood improved a little when he saw Hu Xiao joking around.
"Come up."
Seeing that Hu Xiao still stood at the entrance of the carriage and did not come in, Qin Shuo’s face became even darker, thinking back to what had just happened, Qin Shuo’s mood became slightly better, and immediately disappeared.
Hu Xiao had never wanted to be with Qin Shuo in the first place. She had originally wanted to come and apologize to Qin Shuo before leaving, but now that she saw Qin Shuo’s gloomy face, she realized that she was in the wrong.
He could only unwillingly board the carriage.
"We’ll leave here after resting."
Seeing that Hu Xiao was done, she instructed the Courtier Wei.
"Okay."
Just now, Qin Shuo had ordered the carriage to stop because of Wen Fuchen, and with Qin Shuo’s orders, they left the station.
Wen Fuchen and Xue Mier looked at the crowd as they left, feeling extremely dissatisfied, but they could not do anything about it, so they could only discuss their previous plans.
"What, the Empress and Gu Ruoyun are already at a loss for words again?"
The carriage had already traveled a long distance, the atmosphere inside the carriage gradually became quiet, and it was the first time for the two of them to be so quiet, Qin Shuo suddenly felt that he could not get used to it.
"Hehe, your majesty is overthinking things. Your majesty really doesn’t forget to enjoy the Southern Patrol right now."
Hu Xiao had already reached her limit long ago, she initially wanted to act dignified, but after hearing Qin Shuo say that, Hu Xiao no longer held back.
"You ..."
After Qin Shuo heard Hu Xiao’s words, she really wanted nothing more than to say nothing. After Hu Xiao opened her mouth and spoke these words that almost made him vomit blood, it would be better to keep Hu Xiao silent for a long time.
"Wen Fuchen prepared this."
The meaning behind Qin Shuo’s words was to tell Hu Xiao that this extravagance was not her own doing, and that she could only blame Wen Fuchen for it.
"That’s not the case for Minister Wen."
Hu Xiao naturally understood what Qin Shuo meant, since she knew what Qin Shuo meant, Hu Xiao was too embarrassed to bring it up. After all, if she made Qin Shuo angry, the one who would lose out in the end would be himself.
However, as she looked at the luxurious carriage, Hu Xiao couldn’t help but curse in her heart. It really was the emperor’s tour, this scene was really huge.
She thought that the carriage would be luxurious enough, but when Hu Xiao saw the inn, he realised how wrong she was in the past.
Qin Shuo had long secretly ridiculed and dissatisfied with his extravagance and extravagance as he exited the palace on the carriage earlier. Looking at the inn now, Qin Shuo’s face was extremely gloomy.
Hu Xiao couldn’t help but rejoice in her heart when she saw Qin Shuo’s embarrassed expression. She should let Qin Shuo know how much of a waste it was for him to go out of the palace. In this way, she could let Qin Shuo know more about the hardships of life.
Looking at Qin Shuo’s gloomy expression, Wen Fuchen was overjoyed. He thought that Hu Xiao and Qin Shuo had gotten into an unpleasant argument on the carriage just now.
"Then let it be. In the future, don’t waste it so extravagantly. The people suffer. If I take the lead and waste it, won’t it become my fault?"
Before Wen Fuchen could speak, Qin Shuo spoke out.
If Wen Fuchen still did not know the reason behind Qin Shuo’s anger, then he would not be the Minister Wen in the imperial court.
"This humble subject has neglected this matter, His Majesty’s teachings are correct."
Wen Fuchen had never thought that Qin Shuo would actually blame him for this, and had only secretly made a note of it in his heart. It must be because Hu Xiao had said something to Qin Shuo on the carriage just now, otherwise, Qin Shuo would definitely not make a fuss over such a small matter.
Qin Shuo seemed to have thought of his past grandeur and he was slightly dissatisfied, but he did not say anything more. He just watched from the back and did not leave the palace for a long time.
After the meal, the group went back to their rooms to rest. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"Hurry up. His Majesty has sent me to serve him. If I am delayed, I will definitely punish all of you for your crimes."
She had lost face in front of Hu Xiao today, Xue Mier was definitely not willing to give up, and seeing that Qin Shuo did not have any intentions of annexing Hu Xiao’s service, she came to probe Hu Xiao’s situation.
Hu Xiao told the consorts that she did not care about His Majesty and told them to think of ways to please him, but at the same time, she was secretly luring Qin Shuo into a trap. This words were completely opposite to what she was actually doing, and Xue Mier could not see through it at the moment.
"Yes, Empress."
Xiao’er had been by Xue Mier’s side for a long time, and now, she naturally understood why Xue Mier was acting this way.
Hu Xiao was about to go out and play at the inn when she suddenly heard Xue Mier’s voice and couldn’t help but twitch her mouth.
It was just a small resting place, and on the left and right it was Qin Shuo’s outlet, Hu Xiao did not know why Xue Mier valued it so highly, and even used it to support her.
After a long while without seeing Hu Xiao’s voice, Xue Mier was half suffocated, she thought that Hu Xiao would argue with him because of this, but Hu Xiao’s calmness was outside of Xue Mier’s expectations.
Although he did not see Hu Xiao making a fool of herself, she still rushed to leave.
Hearing Xue Mier’s distant voice, Hu Xiao curled her lips.
"Zhi Lan, have you prepared the items?"
After tidying up her clothes for an entire night, Hu Xiao felt that going out was a troublesome matter, especially for women with extremely high status. They had to wear different clothes at different occasions, so what kind of heavy jewelry would they wear?
"Empress, everything is ready now. Does the Empress have any other orders?"
Zhi Lan said as she looked at Hu Xiao who was sitting upright at the side.
In fact, he could not allow Hu Xiao to touch what she had brought with him. Not only would disrespect him, she would even make a mess of the things she had arranged. Zhi Lan was deeply moved by this, and felt gratified that she was able to obediently sit by the side.
"I don’t have any orders. I’ll go out and take a look. If you have nothing else to do, then go and rest."
Just now, Xue Mier had already said that since she found Xue Mier to accompany him to sleep, she would definitely not have anything to worry about. It was not easy for him to leave, if it was not better, she would make things difficult for Hu Xiao.
"What?" Empress, are you planning to go out? "
When Zhi Lan heard this, she looked at Hu Xiao in disbelief.
"Enough, I have my reasons. You can stay. If anyone comes to find me, you can find an excuse to reject them."
Before waiting for Zhi Lan to speak, Hu Xiao had already cut her off. When had Zhi Lan started to instruct her on everything she did? Just now, Xue Mier did not believe that Zhi Lan had not heard her words, so what reason could he have to stop her?
