Chapter 581 I'm Angry
"Aren't you cold in this winter dress?"
Su Ying's words made the hall fall into deathly silence.
The beauty's face turned pale as paper in an instant.
Of course Su Ying could feel the change in atmosphere, she just raised her eyebrows slightly, as if waiting for the beauty's answer.
The beauty was already trembling with fear, and even her own father did not dare to come out at this time to confront the Queen. Just when everyone thought that Su Ying was going to attack this innocent beauty, a figure walked out.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This young lady is dressed like this just to dance for His Majesty and His Majesty to entertain them. Why should Your Majesty make things difficult for you?" Chu Min stood up. He had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes.
"Are dancers enough to entertain you, or are dancers not pleasing to Lord Chu, and you need a young lady from an aristocratic family to dance and play music to satisfy you?"
Chu Min's eyes changed slightly, but he quickly reacted, "Your Majesty, you are joking. It is their honor to be able to perform a song in front of the Emperor and Your Majesty. I and others are also able to see everyone's performance because of the Emperor and Your Majesty. How can a dancer be compared with the young ladies from aristocratic families?"
The beauty also came back to her senses, her voice was soft and pitiful, "I am sorry for the poor performance, thank you for your concern, I am not cold."
"She's wearing so little that her eyelids are twitching, yet she says she's not cold. Take her downstairs and change her into warm clothes."
These words frightened the beauty so much that she almost fainted. The queen was implying that she wanted to seduce the emperor!
Su Ying's words were undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face to those ministers who wanted to send their daughters into the palace. The queen had no intention of letting new people enter the palace at all, but looking back at history, there has never been such a precedent. Is the queen going to set a precedent?
"Your Majesty, your harem has been empty for nearly half a year since you ascended the throne. This is not conducive to the expansion of the royal family. I, this old minister, implore your Majesty to expand the harem so that the royal family can have an endless stream of offspring."
As for the idea of finding a concubine for Xiao Jin, all the civil and military officials were absolutely enthusiastic.
Once someone opened their mouth, others dared to stand up and agree with them. What they said was a big deal. Could the queen really punish them for it? Wasn't she afraid of arousing public anger?
Thinking of this, the ministers became even bolder.
"Your Majesty cares about the people and has a deep understanding of justice. I believe she also hopes that there will be more concubines for the emperor to have children." After making such an impassioned statement, these ministers praised Su Ying. They knew how to brainwash her.
Xiao Jin's handsome face was already visibly gloomy. Just as he was about to speak, Su Ying gently pressed his hand.
Xiao Jin looked over in confusion and saw Su Ying shaking her head slightly at him.
Xiao Jin knew that she had an idea in her mind, so he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Su Ying raised her eyes slightly, with a faint smile on her face, looking very easy to talk to.
"You are right, my lords. Royal heirs are a big deal. The emperor has been on the throne for so long, it's time to add more people to the harem."
When the ministers heard that there was hope for this, their faces lit up with hope.
"Your Majesty is very wise and righteous, which is a blessing for our Chu State."
Su Ying smiled deeply, looking quite touched. "Tomorrow you will send the list of girls of appropriate age to me. As long as they pass the selection, they can enter the palace."
After hearing Su Ying's words, all the ministers were delighted and all the young ladies were shy. The emperor is so handsome and if they could win his favor, they would have no regrets in their life.
The food was served and Su Ying had eaten everything she was supposed to eat. It was boring to sit there any longer.
Xiao Jin saw that she was tired, so he stood up and took her out of the palace.
As she walked out of the hall, a cold wind blew towards her, and the chill slightly dispelled some of Su Ying's laziness.
Xiao Jin didn't say a word all the way back to Fengluan Palace. When Su Ying was about to follow him into the inner hall, she was stopped by Dabao.
Su Ying looked at Dabao in confusion, "What's wrong, Ji'er?"
Dabao glanced towards the inner hall before lowering his voice and saying, "Mother, you've made father angry again."
Su Ying paused, "Are you sure?"
Dabao nodded confidently, "I'm sure and for sure, mother, you should comfort him and don't make daddy angry. Ji'er is going to read a book."
Su Ying frowned as she watched her son ruthlessly leave her behind. When did Xiao Jin get angry? How come she didn't know?
Su Ying walked into the inner hall puzzledly and silently observed Xiao Jin who was sitting at the desk.
After Xiao Jin entered the hall, he sat at the desk and picked up a book at random. When she came in, he still looked at the book in his hand without raising his head and did not react at all.
Su Ying frowned, and was sure that this guy was in a bad mood.
"My Lady, Uncle He has already prepared the food. Do you want me to bring it over now?"
Su Ying wasn't full at the banquet, so she definitely wouldn't refuse.
"Well, serve it up."
"yes."
Taking advantage of this gap, Su Ying changed out of her complicated palace dress. When she came out, the palace maid had already put hot meals and dishes on the table.
Xiao Jin sat at his desk, reading the book in his hand, without even blinking. Wouldn't his eyes feel sore?
"Your Majesty, would you like to have something to eat?" Su Ying walked up to him and asked.
Xiao Jin's eyebrows moved slightly, and his dark eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of thoughts as he looked at her, "I'm not hungry."
"It's okay if I'm not hungry, but I'm not full yet." Su Ying sat down at the table alone, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Xiao Jin's heart skipped a beat as he watched her eat with relish. If he got angry with this woman, he would be the only one who would get angry to death!
Su Ying was just about to eat the last bun when a hand reached out and snatched the bun away.
Su Ying was chewing the chicken in her mouth, she looked up at Xiao Jin and saw him taking a bite of the bun viciously.
Su Ying always felt that what he wanted to bite was not the bun, but her!
After eating, the palace maids took away all the bowls and plates, leaving only Su Ying and Xiao Jin in the inner hall.
Su Ying suddenly thought of what Dabao had said to her, and looked at Xiao Jin in confusion, "Are you unhappy?"
Xiao Jin paused slightly while drinking tea. Good, he knew that he was angry.
"No."
"Oh, that's good."
Xiao Jin: “…”
"Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll go to sleep for a while." Su Ying yawned and walked to the bed.
Xiao Jin's gnashing teeth sounded behind him, "Su Ying!"
Su Ying turned around and frowned, "You want to sleep too?"
Xiao Jin took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "I'm angry!"
Su Ying looked at his face carefully, and after a moment she walked back to him, suddenly hugged him from behind, and kissed him on the corner of his lips.
Xiao Jin: “…”
Xiao Jin's stormy face turned into a clear blue sky in an instant.
He tried hard to suppress the upward curve of his lips, but he couldn't control the tendency.
"Are you still angry?" Su Ying hugged him and asked softly in his ear.
Xiao Jin tightened his face, trying to make himself look angry, "You don't even know why I'm angry."
