Chapter 92 This concubine's daughter is not good at first glance, we need to replace her
Just as I was in a trance, I heard Fang Qianxue speak slowly.
"I am now living alone in a separate mansion with my two children. There are not many guards in the mansion, and I am worried about the safety of the children at night," Fang Qianxue said, "After all, there were reports of thieves in the East Market a few days ago."
Xiao Mingzhe became even more excited when he heard this.
As expected, he guessed right. Fang Qianxue was using her insecurity as an excuse to find a man to go back with!
"Uncle!" Lin Baoyue called out loudly.
Only then did Xiao Mingzhe realize that the wine glass in front of him had been tipped over at some point, with the wine spilling out. He quickly straightened the glass.
"Prince Beining, let me be your servant!" The little palace maid beside him took a handkerchief and helped him wipe the wine off the table in front of him.
"Uncle, what are you thinking about?" Lin Baoyue said unhappily, "You didn't even notice the wine spilled!"
"Shut up!"
"Alas!" Empress Dowager Liu sighed and said, "It is indeed not easy for a woman like you to live alone with two children. I understand, so..."
"So I would like to ask the Queen Mother to let me bring the Qilin back to the palace. As long as the Qilin is here, no one will dare to bully me anymore." Fang Qianxue had just finished speaking when she saw that everyone around her had a stunned expression.
Empress Dowager Liu's mouth was still open.
The eldest princess was the first to react: "Qianxue, you mean you want to take Qilin back home? But... Qilin lives in a whole horse farm in the palace, and there are double-layer cages to lock it up to ensure it is safe. I'm afraid it will be difficult to keep it if you take it back to a private house, right?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have already made all the arrangements. Qilin doesn't need a cage. It has a gentle nature and is easy to raise as long as it has food and water." Fang Qianxue had already discussed everything with Qilin.
She needed Qilin's military deterrence, and Qilin also needed freedom, so they hit it off immediately. This was a mutually beneficial thing.
"Uncle!" Lin Baoyue shouted again.
The wine glass that Xiao Mingzhe had just held up fell over again.
He had never expected that she would take Qilin back with her. How could he, the King of Beining, be inferior to a beast?
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
What on earth is he to her?
The palace maid just now knelt down again to help him wipe the table. This time, she not only wiped the table, but also took the initiative to wipe his robes.
Xiao Mingzhe frowned and kicked her away: "How dare you!"
All the servants in the palace knew that King Beining hated people touching his body, especially women. If anyone touched him, being beaten was a minor matter, and the person might even be expelled from the palace.
There are even rumors that King Beining is physically disabled, which has led to mental abnormality, so he will never let anyone touch his body. This little palace maid is either ignorant or has ulterior motives!
"Have mercy! Your Majesty, have mercy!" The little maid fell to the ground, shaking like a sieve. "I just want to..."
"Who sent you?" Xiao Mingzhe asked coldly.
Everyone's attention instantly shifted from Fang Qianxue to King Beining.
What is going on?
"Nineteen," Empress Dowager Liu said unhappily, "Today is my birthday, can't you restrain yourself? Don't scare the little girl."
Today is not only her birthday, but also a spring banquet for Xiao Mingzhe to find a princess.
Many of the guests who came to the banquet were daughters and sisters of noble families inside and outside the palace. How could they get along well with Xiao Mingzhe when they saw his ferocious look?
"Forget it," Xiao Mingzhe finally held back his breath and pointed his fan at him, "Get lost."
"Yes!" The little palace maid covered her face and ran away.
Empress Yang glanced at the little palace maid and frowned in disdain.
The palace maid was a concubine's daughter of the Yang family. Yang Shijun said that the King of Beining was a threat to their Yang family now, and it would be safer to put someone next to Xiao Mingzhe. That's why he chose a concubine's daughter and sent her to the palace, intending to put her next to Xiao Mingzhe during today's Spring Banquet.
"You can't even stand this little bit of grievance? How are you going to serve King Beining in the future?" Queen Yang shook her head.
When she entered the palace, she had to endure all kinds of hardships.
Although Emperor Ming did not have the psychological trauma about matters between men and women like Prince Beining, he was a dozen years older than her. When she entered the palace, Emperor Ming had already been drained dry by the group of women in the harem and was almost exhausted.
If Yang Yunxia hadn't used every possible means and suffered every kind of injustice, how could Xiao Yu exist?
Even so, perhaps due to insufficient congenital conditions, Xiao Yu is still a sickly person.
In short, the men of the Xiao family are no good, and their women have to use all sorts of means to have children.
I'll talk to my eldest brother later. It's obvious that this concubine is no good. We need to replace her, preferably one who has been trained.
"Where were we just talking about?" Empress Dowager Liu came back to her senses and looked at Fang Qianxue, "Qianxue, do you really want to take Qilin home? It's a beast that can breathe fire..."
Upon hearing this, the Qilin beast actually bent its front paws and knelt down towards the Queen Mother. It even rubbed its big head against the Queen Mother's hand twice, meaning: How do you think I look like a ferocious beast? I am a cute beast!
"Hahaha..." The Queen Mother was very amused. "Alright, alright, if you want to follow Lord Fang out of the palace, then go ahead. But you can't leave Shangjing City."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Qilin beast will not leave Shangjing. If you want to summon it, I will bring it back immediately!" Fang Qianxue said happily.
"Well," the Queen Mother stroked Qilin's head and said, "Go and tell He Qiong later that the red fruits that Qilin eats will be delivered to your house every day. Don't let it starve."
"Yes! Thank you, Queen Mother!" Fang Qianxue prostrated herself to express her gratitude.
Qilin also kowtowed twice, and everyone laughed.
A fat tabby cat walked over the vermilion palace wall. It looked very frustrated, and complained as it walked: "Bah! Why are you pretending to be cute? Xuexue, I can protect you too. You stinky unicorn! You rotten unicorn! You can only spit fire? It was obviously me who came here first..."
The Queen Mother’s birthday banquet is followed by the Spring Banquet.
Fang Qianxue had no interest in the mutual testing between these young men and women, so she took Qilin for a stroll in the back mountain.
To the north of the Imperial Garden is the back mountain. The mountain road here is difficult to walk on, but there is a waterfall. Fang Qianxue wants to take Qilin to see it.
From far away, you can hear the loud sound of water.
"There is a waterfall ahead. I'll take you to see it." Fang Qianxue patted Qilin's back.
After turning a corner, she was amazed by the sight before her.
As the sun sets, the deep pool of the waterfall is breathtakingly beautiful, and a rainbow appears over the waterfall.
"Awoo!" Qilin ran over happily and dived into the pond to play.
"Slow down!" Fang Qianxue was a little worried that it couldn't swim, so she wanted to chase it, but suddenly she heard a man's voice behind her.
"Lord Fang." The man's voice was mixed with the sound of water, taking on a layer of clarity.
"Young Marquis?" Fang Qianxue turned around and found that it was Jiang Xu. She asked in surprise, "You are also here to attend the Spring Banquet today?"
Jiang Xu's handsome face showed a bit of disappointment: "You didn't notice me at all?"
He had been staring at her in the corner just now, almost staring a hole in her face, but she didn't feel anything at all!
"...I noticed that you are with Yi'an County Lady, right?"
