"Your majesty, chenqie finally sees you. Has the emperor specifically come to find chenqie? chenqie is so touched!" Xue Mier cried even louder, she opened her arms and hugged Qin Shuo’s sturdy waist, crying even louder.
Qin Shuo wanted to cry, but no tears came out.
Other than Hu Xiao, he would not console any other woman. Just as he was at a loss on what to do, Hu Xiao teased him, "Oh, we haven’t even met for an entire night and you’re already crying like this. The emperor and the Imperial Consort Xue are really intimate!"
Her voice was thick with jealousy. Her man had been embraced by his rival, and it would be a lie to say he wasn’t angry.
Seeing her ridiculing him, Qin Shuo became angry, he simply picked up Xue Mier and said gently: "Dear Consort, I will bring you back."
At noon, the hot sun was shining on the mud by the window, and the air was filled with a faint peasant smell.
After Hu Xiao finished her meal, she asked Zhi Lan to change her clothes and later, she would follow her out of the palace.
Hearing this, Zhi Lan’s face was full of surprise, and asked doubtfully: "Empress, what are you doing in the palace?"
Suddenly, she thought of how the Empress had quarreled with the Emperor early in the morning and had left the palace at such a time. Perhaps she had gone out to relax.
Hearing her words, Hu Xiao shot a glance at her and laughed: "If you don’t want to go out, then forget about it. I’ll go out by myself."
She didn’t seem unhappy about what had happened this morning.
"Go, go, go! Niangniang, you must not leave this servant behind. This servant will go change into a new set of clothes right now, I promise I won’t embarrass you." Zhi Lan said carefully. She raised her eyes to look at Hu Xiao, trying to make him happy.
On their way out of the palace, a variable appeared.
She stood in front of Hu Xiao and asked with interest, "Big sister empress, where are you going when you’re dressed like this?"
Xue Mier raised her eyebrow, she sized Hu Xiao up from top to bottom, and when she heard that Hu Xiao was about to leave the palace, she rushed over in a hurry.
When she came over, she did not forget to change into a new set of clothes.
"What does it have to do with you!" Hu Xiao snorted, then changed the topic, "Do you have any control over where I want to go?"
Hu Xiao placed her hands on her waist, circled around Xue Mier and continued to walk. Seeing that, Xue Mier’s delicate body returned to her side, she opened her arms wide, not allowing Hu Xiao to walk forward.
"Elder sister, are you leaving the palace?" Xue Mier lowered her voice and asked softly. Compared to before, her attitude had changed by a lot.
"So what if I am? Don’t tell me you want to go with me?" Hu Xiao laughed disdainfully, what does her inability to leave the palace have to do with Xue Mier. Why is Xue Mier such a woman, why does she care so much?
"Hu Xiao, you’re smart." Xue Mier did not refute her words, and went along with her words.
Indeed, it was as Hu Xiao had asked. She wanted to leave the palace with Hu Xiao, she wanted to see where Hu Xiao usually went to play.
Hearing her praise, the corner of Hu Xiao’s mouth twitched. She thought to himself, don’t tell me that Xue Mier became a fool from drinking and that she followed me out of the palace? Are you following me!?
"I don’t care about you, Zhi Lan. Drive her away, don’t get in my way." Hu Xiao shrugged her shoulders, she did not want Xue Mier to follow along.
Furthermore, she didn’t know what Xue Mier was up to, but she suddenly wanted to leave the palace with her. She didn’t know what she was planning to do.
"Imperial Concubine, as the saying goes, a gentleman doesn’t take action. As a woman, this servant doesn’t mind taking action." Zhi Lan said in all seriousness. If Xue Mier was not tactful, then she would not blame her for being rude.
She shook her head, and said with an expectant voice: "Elder sister, Big sister Hu Xiao, just let me follow you. I really want to go out and take a look, it’s been a few years since I’ve stepped out of the palace gate."
Xue Mier sniffed, she pouted her lips and pretended to be pitiful.
Seeing that Hu Xiao had started to waver, her heart was filled with joy. She continued to plead: "Big sister, please fulfill my request, I swear to god I will definitely not trouble you. Bring me along, there’s not one more person."
She affectionately pulled Hu Xiao’s arm and shook it gently, like a child begging an adult.
"Fine fine fine, then let’s go together. If you give me any trouble, I’ll throw you out of the carriage." Hu Xiao said impatiently, and followed after her. If Xue Mier dared to cause trouble for her, seeing that she didn’t want to throw Xue Mier off the carriage, she wouldn’t be surnamed Hu.
In the restaurant, Hu Xiao sat in a room on the second floor, listening to the discussions of the people below.
Everyone gathered downstairs and were discussing about the women’s science exam in groups of twos and threes.
Is it reasonable for a woman to take the science exam? At least in Hu Xiao’s heart, the answer was yes.
"Not only the ministers of the imperial court, but also the commoners outside the palace. is also discussing this matter. " Xue Mier said excitedly. To her, the matter of the women’s entrance examinations was something inconceivable.
She was particularly interested in the matter and wanted to hear what others thought of it.
Xue Mier listened attentively for a while, and said with interest: "Hu Xiao, did you hear that? Some people agreed, and some people rejected with all their might. Look at that man, what are his words?"
As a woman, Xue Mier was naturally unhappy when she heard that someone was verbally attacking women.
"What the hell is the empress doing? When is it a woman’s turn to criticize the matters of the imperial court, and even allow a woman to take the imperial examinations? In my opinion, this is just a joke."
He raised his head to take a sip of wine and continued, "Women are weak and weak, what can they do? Don’t ruin the country when the time comes."
Some people in the audience agreed with him, some refuted him, while the man was placed in the center. He felt satisfied in his heart.
So he went on, "If women go to work. What’s the use of us men? "Isn’t this clearly bullying? The Old Ancestor had already said that only women and villains are hard to raise. Since women have become so powerful, aren’t they competing for the world with us?"
After Hu Xiao heard these words, she felt it was funny. This kind of lie, even if he could say it, she would not be ashamed.
"You are so incompetent, yet you still have the nerve to say that women would snatch their jobs. Truly shameless." Xue Mier spat, "When the time comes for the competition, let’s see if the woman is stronger."
Hu Xiao only laughed without saying a word.
Just then, Zhi Lan appeared. She knocked on the door and quickly walked in.
"Empress, the results are out."
