They were both doing the digging and growing crops outside of Sui City, but Hu Xiao had only looked over there once during this period, so since it was Soong Xuan who was doing the work, Hu Xiao could be at ease.
Xue Mier followed behind Hu Xiao without saying a word, looking at the people around him who were extremely respectful when they saw him, with their heads lowered, no one knew what they were thinking, but Hu Xiao did not care.
"What are you all doing?"
They were almost out of the city, but the fact that they were surrounded made Hu Xiao a little curious, she walked over and saw a group of people surrounding a little girl, they looked like they were questioning her, but why were there so many people, Hu Xiao could not help but ask.
"Reporting to the Empress, this person said that she is here to find a wife, but how did our Sui City become? How could anyone come back here to find a wife?"
When the guard guarding the city gate saw Hu Xiao, she rushed forward to report.
"So that’s how it is. Let her in. This person looks familiar to me, so let her come and take a look."
Although the lady looked to be in a difficult situation, Hu Xiao still felt that she had seen her before.
"Greetings Empress. This humble girl is a servant girl from the Liu Cheng Song Manor. Master has specially ordered this humble girl to look for Miss."
As expected, there were people who knew each other, but Hu Xiao was a little curious about why this person would know that he was the Empress. After all, Hu Xiao did not remember him revealing his identity back at the Song Palace.
"Since that’s the case, you can go and wait. I will inform Soong Xuan."
Not knowing what the person wanted to do, Hu Xiao let the guard by her side bring the woman away. If she did not see her, Soong Xuan would definitely not let the woman leave their line of sight.
If Soong Xuan’s father had not sent someone, it would be Soong Xuan’s aunt. However, the two had left a bad impression on Hu Xiao’s heart, no matter who it was, it would be extremely troublesome.
Although Xue Mier still wanted to say something, but when she saw Hu Xiao’s expression, she swallowed the words that was just about to come out, this matter had nothing to do with her, so speaking more was wrong. Hu Xiao’s sharp tongue was something she had experienced, at that time, all of her thoughts would be taken away by Hu Xiao.
It was just a small interlude and they quickly reached the area that Soong Xuan was responsible for.
"Greetings Empress."
It was no longer the arrogant appearance of the Song Family’s young miss. The thick clothes on her body could not even hide the aura she emitted from Soong Xuan’s body.
"How is it? You’ve gotten used to it, haven’t you? "
Although it was a bit hard, Hu Xiao felt that Soong Xuan was enjoying it.
"Very good, everyone is very cooperative."
He scratched his head in embarrassment, when he saw the person who got off the horse carriage behind Hu Xiao, Soong Xuan’s expression changed slightly.
"Lucky Imperial Consort Xue."
She had heard about Xue Mier’s matters as well, but she did not have much thoughts about it. In Soong Xuan’s opinion, all of this was Xue Mier’s own fault, who was Hu Xiao? How could she make a move on the child in Xue Mier’s womb?
Xue Mier and Hu Xiao had always been getting along quite well, right? Thinking back to the little action she did with Soong Xuan last time, she felt her teeth going numb from her hatred. Why would they only know about her acting?
"Empress, what are you doing?"
Soong Xuan was no longer the high and mighty Miss Soong of the Song Manor, she was now just a small female official in the palace.
"Planting, Soong Xuan is teaching Sui City to the citizens."
He looked at Xue Mier in confusion. Wasn’t this obvious? Why did it seem like Xue Mier did not recognize him?
"Really?" Miss Song knows a lot. Oh right, Miss Song, when I met someone outside the city with the empress, I said that they were looking for you. Does Miss Song want to enter the city with us? "
Xue Mier only took a few glances and wanted to return. Right now, Soong Xuan was the best excuse.
"Really?"
Soong Xuan was a little curious. With Hu Xiao here, of course she wouldn’t lie, but who would look for her?
"Where is your family? Your father probably hasn’t sent anyone over for a long time."
After she said that, no one could understand what she meant. However, Soong Xuan was slightly stunned.
"Alright, I am only here to take a look, Soong Xuan, you have done quite well, come back with us now, we will come back again after things are settled."
Hu Xiao glanced at Xue Mier and said. She already knew that she shouldn’t have brought this person out, they were originally not the same type of people.
Xue Mier, however, did not care about what Hu Xiao thought, she just wanted to return to the yamen as soon as possible.
After bidding farewell to Hu Xiao, Soong Xuan went to see the man. She was sent by the Song Manor, so her father would not care so much about the current her.
Hu Xiao hesitated for a while and wanted to take a look at Soong Xuan, but someone stopped him just as she was about to leave.
"Don’t go, this is a family matter of the Song Clan, you don’t need to worry about it."
Qin Shuo’s low voice sounded out from behind Hu Xiao.
She knew that she could not hide from it, but right now, Hu Xiao could not think of anything else. What did Qin Shuo’s words mean?
"What happened at the Song Manor?"
But being unable to hear Qin Shuo’s words, Hu Xiao could not help but become more impatient.
"Empress, the imperial harem cannot be governed by the laws, after all, this has always been a taboo in the previous dynasty. However, due to the matter of Sui City, the Empress has been going overboard recently."
It had been a long time since he had last seen Qin Shuo’s reply, but Qin Shuo’s reply made Hu Xiao explode with shock.
"What does Your Majesty mean by this?" Could it be that His Majesty is going back on his word? That day in the imperial court, His Majesty did not say that. "
Hu Xiao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She never thought that this emperor would actually think about it even more than a woman, it was practically the same thing every day.
Qin Shuo seemed to have remembered what he had said as his face alternated between shades of green and white.
"Empress ..."
His voice was filled with helplessness as Qin Shuo hugged Hu Xiao.
It was extremely uncomfortable, but he was still unable to struggle free from Qin Shuo’s embrace. Hu Xiao could not help but want to laugh, just what did Qin Shuo mean by this.
He recalled the helplessness he felt when he faced the court officials in the hall.
"Your Majesty, currently, the fame of the Empress is rising among the common folk of the Sui City. Moreover, all of the methods to provide relief for the people of the Sui City are all from the Empress, if this goes on, I’m afraid that in the future, the Queen’s fame will surpass your Majesty’s."
Wen Fuchen was worried about the future of the country, but he did not manage to answer that question. Indeed, on that day, when he was working on the canal with the common folk, he already knew about it, although he thought that it was very good, but he could not wait for the other ministers who occupied his age to talk about their ancestors, causing Qin Shuo to be extremely annoyed, but because of the ancestor, even if Qin Shuo did not want to listen, there was nothing he could do.
Yes, the current crisis in Sui City only needs to be handled as per Empress’s previous plan. Empress was already so arrogant that day in the imperial court, if we were to expand the power of the Empress, it would be difficult to control by then.
"Your Majesty, our ancestor once gave me an item called Wen Family. This humble subject has the audacity to invite this item up here first, I only hope that Your Majesty can discard the Queen! Let the empress stop interfering with the imperial government! "
