Chapter 362 Oh wait, when did I get a male concubine?
When did I ever authorize my male favorite to come and see the Empress Dowager...?
Wait, when did I get a male concubine?
Xiao Tang was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of this male concubine.
Although she was determined not to "marry" this Miss He and decided to make things clear to the Empress Dowager, she did not expect that a male favorite would appear.
He Xiaoxiao also heard this, and her mouth opened slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but no sound came out.
She was clearly devastated!
The man she set her sights on turned out to be a homosexual?
He Xiaoxiao almost cried.
This blow came too quickly, like a storm that struck out of nowhere.
The Empress Dowager, with a stern face, asked, "What male favorite? What nonsense are you spouting?"
Xiao Tang's eyes flashed.
She said to the Empress Dowager with a sorrowful expression, "Your Majesty, I...I do indeed like men, and I no longer wish to deceive you!"
At this point, she raised her sleeve to cover her face.
His pained expression was so convincing that it shocked the He family mother and daughter standing nearby.
The Empress Dowager's face also turned ashen.
She arranged this marriage to plant spies, thinking that the Grand Preceptor would not dare to disobey her. Who would have thought that a male concubine would suddenly appear?
The eunuch was also embarrassed, glancing at Xiao Tang from time to time with a somewhat depressed expression.
He never expected that the dignified Imperial Preceptor would be such a...
That's a bit too scary.
Xiao Tang hung her head, her face full of pain.
The Empress Dowager pursed her lips and beckoned, "Alright, let him in."
She secretly wondered if this male concubine was just someone randomly chosen as a substitute, and if he was trying to fool her.
Xiao Tang kept her eyes downcast, but when a dark hem of clothing swayed in front of her, her heart skipped a beat.
That robe... could it belong to a major villain?
Although the fabric looks quite ordinary, unlike the dark, luxurious robes worn by the main villain when they left...
She heard herself swallowing and secretly raised her eyelids.
His eyes also became cautious.
Suddenly, the focus shifted to the man's masked face.
Her hair was also dyed black.
He... made special preparations to become her male concubine.
"You..." She uttered a single word in a daze, but immediately changed her tone, "Sweetie, what brings you here?"
They were already quite shocked by the appearance of this strange man, who was wearing a mask and whose appearance was unknown. But when the Imperial Preceptor uttered that cloying address, the three women in the hall felt a chill run down their spines.
Madam He was about to vomit. She angrily shouted, "The world is going to the dogs! The world is going to the dogs! You, the Imperial Advisor, how could you do such an absurd thing!"
The Empress Dowager nodded repeatedly.
At first, she thought it was the Imperial Advisor's nonsense, just to dissuade her from the idea of a marriage by imperial decree.
Looking at the Imperial Advisor's "deeply affectionate" gaze, she knew he was serious.
The Empress Dowager rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
Looks like it's hopeless!
But she never expected that this imperial advisor would like men?
The masked man tilted his head slightly to meet her "gentle and tender" gaze, and gave a soft "hmm": "If you insist on taking a wife, sir, I will disappear from this world..."
"No way!" Seeing that the man was already acting, Xiao Tang immediately followed suit.
She excitedly took two steps forward and tightly grasped the man's large hand.
He was so excited he was practically spitting as he spoke.
"Sweetie, you are my goddess. I can't live without you. Even if it means death, I will never be separated from you!"
[…Holy crap, I can't believe I'm actually saying something so cheesy!]
At this moment, the three women: "...Ugh..."
Even the usually composed Empress Dowager could not remain calm at this moment.
The Empress Dowager pointed angrily at Xiao Tang's face, "You, you all! What kind of behavior is this!"
"I..."
As a result, the masked man suddenly glared at her before looking at Xiao Tang: "The Empress Dowager is angry. It's not worth it for you to lose your position because of this."
He said he was leaving.
He was held tightly by Xiao Tang.
Wow, you've got quite a wide range of acting skills, buddy!
[Even the most unfortunate male concubines are portrayed so realistically, I'm speechless.]
Xiao Tang never expected that the villain's acting was even more realistic than hers.
What's more, they were wearing masks.
This requires a higher level of acting skills.
They can easily manipulate people with just their words and their eyes.
[Impressive! We are completely humbled.]
Seeing the Empress Dowager's ashen face, she had a sudden idea. She leaned forward and tiptoed to rub her lips against the man's thin lips twice.
"Your Majesty, I truly have no need to marry. I beg Your Majesty to rescind your decree! Otherwise, I am willing to resign my post in apology!"
"You, you, you..." The Empress Dowager was dumbfounded as she watched the two kiss.
He Xiaoxiao grabbed the Empress Dowager and screamed hysterically, "No, no, no, I don't want to marry this man! He has weird quirks, I don't like him!"
[Heh, sorry, but I don't like you either. Do you really think I care about you?]
Xiao Tang bowed to the Empress Dowager to take his leave, and then left, holding Di Jingling's large hand.
As for He Xiaoxiao's helpless roar coming from the main hall behind, that had nothing to do with her anymore.
She was really happy with this.
They boarded the carriage.
She snuggled right into the man's arms. "Husband, you're so clever! You acted brilliantly!"
She wanted to give him a thumbs up.
After today's incident, the Empress Dowager should calm down, right?
