Hu Xiao handed the clothes in her hand to Zhi Lan, who rolled her eyes silently in her heart.
They had already known that Hu Xiao would fall for this piece of clothes, but they were currently in the East Court Palace after all. Hu Xiao was the noble empress, so naturally they needed to pay more attention to her attire.
"No worries, I’ll give you this. I’m not used to wearing other things, so I’ll just give you some hair. Those headdress items are too heavy, so there’s no need to wear them anymore."
After saying that, she no longer spoke, and looking at Hu Xiao’s manner, Zhi Lan could be considered to have understood Hu Xiao’s character, as Hu Xiao did not dare refute him.
Forget it, His Majesty would not do anything to Hu Xiao, so let him do as she pleases.
Zhi Lan had no choice but to take it.
With this, the imperial harem would probably be in an uproar again, the more they would see Hu Xiao in action, the more they would see.
The heavy burden of serving also represented the position of the imperial harem. When those Palace Servant s saw Hu Xiao’s appearance, they guessed that she had lost her favour again.
Along the way, they saw that Hu Xiao’s palace maid was full of eunuchs, with a lot of expressions, she looked really good, but Hu Xiao did not notice anything.
Soon, they arrived at the Imperial Palace.
The large Imperial Palace was empty, Qin Shuo should have already left the imperial court long ago, if he was not in the study, he should be here, why was there no one here?
Having the servants behind him wait outside the hall, Hu Xiao walked in with Zhi Lan.
After walking around for a while, but before she could see anyone, just as Hu Xiao was about to leave, she heard something from the back of the hall!
That was naturally Qin Shuo’s voice, seeing that Hu Xiao had stopped in her tracks, she walked towards the back.
She wanted to see what the hell Qin Shuo was up to, to actually not see anyone in Bedchamber to serve him. This was completely out of line with Qin Shuo’s usual style.
After she clearly saw Qin Shuo’s actions, Hu Xiao knew why Qin Shuo wanted to disperse everyone.
Qin Shuo had long since surpassed the age to practice martial arts, so to come back to learn again, it required a certain amount of courage. The older he was, the harder it was for him to do it, and the harder it was for him to do it.
Hu Xiao smiled slightly and thought it through. Qin Shuo must have been shocked by his martial arts, and now it was time for him to improve.
But after seeing Qin Shuo like that, Hu Xiao could not hold back and laughed out loud.
At the same time, the two people in the training grounds heard the strange sound and turned their heads. Seeing that it was Hu Xiao, Qin Shuo’s face changed, staring at the Courtier Wei beside him who did not know what to do.
"Your Majesty is truly in a good mood. You have guts. You’ve actually started learning martial arts. Your consort is truly impressed."
Hu Xiao managed to hold back her laughter with much difficulty as she spoke slowly.
In the end, he still knew why Qin Shuo was doing this, so it was not good for Hu Xiao to go overboard. After all, as a Monarch, to be able to understand her own inadequacies and improve herself was rare, and not be too impulsive.
Hu Xiao’s words made Qin Shuo feel even more embarrassed. In this deep palace, Qin Shuo had never felt this embarrassed before.
"Who gave you permission to come in? Are all the servants outside dead? "Wei Fu, what are you doing? If the empress comes in, let me know."
At this point, Qin Shuo had long forgotten that he was the one who dismissed all the palace maid s. Furthermore, Hu Xiao saw that he was in a sorry state, and lost face for nothing.
If it wasn’t to let this group of palace maid know that she was training with Zhao Qiyan and for them to go out and gossip, it wouldn’t have led to this embarrassing situation.
Qin Shuo didn’t know that he had already lost all face in front of Hu Xiao!
Qin Shuo’s loud reprimand made Hu Xiao feel discontent. She had only unintentionally seen Qin Shuo’s’ little secret ’, so Qin Shuo had no need to be so vicious.
After hearing Qin Shuo’s explanation, Hu Xiao finally remembered her purpose in coming here.
Taking the chance that Qin Shuo was caught unawares, he went forward and pulled Qin Shuo’s collar.
This sudden action caused everyone to be startled, and they heard Hu Xiao say: "Why did I come here? Did His Majesty think I wanted to come? If it wasn’t for the fact that His Majesty has detained those playthings of Chenqie’s, how would Chenqie find them? "
It was only then that Qin Shuo remembered that he had really taken Hu Xiao’s things. Zhao Qiyan was really interested in the few things Hu Xiao had asked him to make, and for the sake of making it convenient for him to study, he had taken them all.
"Why do you have to speak so harshly? This huge palace is all lonely, including your empress. It’s only a few things, could it be that I can’t move against you?"
Hu Xiao repeatedly challenged Qin Shuo’s dignity as the son of heaven, and now she actually dared to talk while holding onto her collar.
Qin Shuo immediately removed the collar from Hu Xiao’s hands.
After Hu Xiao heard this, she took a step back and looked at Qin Shuo.
Sparks flew between the two of them, Zhao Qiyan saw that the situation was not good, and quietly left the training grounds, standing together with Zhi Lan and the rest.
"Has Your Majesty forgotten what His Majesty promised chenqie a few days ago?" What chenqie wants is freedom. Didn’t His Majesty agree to it? Did His Majesty intend to go back on his words now? Once a gentleman appears, no one will be able to keep up with him. "
Although Qin Shuo’s tone was firm, Hu Xiao did not show any signs of weakness. In Hu Xiao’s eyes, Qin Shuo was just a paper tiger, she was not able to pose too much of a threat, and would not do anything to him.
"Empress, what Gu You said is naturally true, but the empress should also know her identity."
The tit for tat exchange between the two of them had completely destroyed the previously seemingly calm atmosphere.
"Sister Zhi Lan? Is there something wrong with the Empress? "
Zhi Tang looked at Hu Xiao and Hu Xiao, feeling extremely uneasy.
In Zhi Tang’s opinion, as a wife, naturally, everything should go according to the wishes of the husband. Since Hu Xiao was her wife, then she should have the appearance of a wife, and definitely not hold onto the collar of the husband’s clothes.
"No problem. Just watch."
Hu Xiao was in control of the situation today, so she could not make a move in front of so many people. Even if she did make a move, Qin Shuo would not be a match for him, so Zhi Lan was not worried at all.
Zhi Tang could only hide the unease in her heart.
"Miss Zhi Lan, thank you for your hard work."
At this time, Zhao Qiyan had already silently moved to Zhi Lan’s side, and said.
"Great General Zhao."
Zhi Lan looked at Zhao Qiyan and rolled his eyes in his heart.
How come Zhao Qiyan did not look like a general at all, but instead had a simple and honest look, it made people want to bully him.
The atmosphere in the training grounds was weird, but Zhao Qiyan could only foolishly smile at Zhi Lan, causing people to feel powerless.
"Those are just meaningless things for chenqie. Please return them to me. Of course, chenqie remembers her status. However, if Your Majesty insists on doing as you please, chenqie won’t guarantee that she’ll do anything."
In the main courtyard of the palace, Qin Shuo actually dared to strip her of his belongings. As the saying goes, a wise man can kill but not be humiliated, although she, Hu Xiao was not a scholar, but offending a woman was still an extremely troublesome matter.
