What puzzled Xu Chu was that the dog emperor, who always put his offspring first, would actually leave first.
She became a little curious about what the Dog Emperor was doing.
"Help, what important matter does the Dog Emperor have?"
"It is said that the prince of Beiyue is coming to marry."
Marriage?
"The emperor only has one princess, Lehua. How could he possibly go to marry her?"
"Of course not Yuehua."
"Could she be the emperor's sister?" Xu Chu asked again.
"The dog emperor's sisters are all married."
Xu Chu felt a little uneasy, as if something bad was going to happen. "Are they selecting from some princesses or county ladies?"
The system helpfully replied, "Maybe they will be selected from the concubines who were not chosen this time."
Xu Chu felt that this matter had nothing to do with her, so she was too lazy to pay attention to it.
However, she asked the system about some habits of pregnant women, so she pretended to be sleepy.
She slept until the night, but just as she walked out the door, she heard Concubine Ning's maids discussing: "I just went to the Shangyi Bureau, and I heard the maids beside the Imperial Concubine say that the young prince of Beiyue has actually fallen for Concubine Xu."
Xu Chu heard this and secretly felt something was wrong, so he shouted loudly, "What are you talking about!"
As soon as the two palace maids saw Xu Chu, they immediately knelt down.
"Empress Xu, we didn't say anything."
Xu Chu raised his voice, "Do you want to go and clean the toilet or just tell me obediently."
"Madam Xu, I'm speaking."
"The young prince is coming to marry, and some of the beautiful ladies in the palace are going to be selected, but I don't know why your portrait is among them."
"After seeing your portrait, the young prince insisted that the emperor give up your love. The emperor explained that your majesty had children and could not be chosen."
Xu Chu thought to himself that it seemed that the Dog Emperor still cared a lot about his offspring.
But there was one thing she couldn't understand: why would someone mix her portrait in there? Could it be that someone was secretly plotting against her?
She stretched lazily, then waved her hand, signaling the two palace maids to leave.
Xu Chu returned to the room and asked the system for help, "Help, who do you think is messing with me?"
"Who is in charge of the showgirls?" asked Bangbang.
Xu Chu suddenly realized that it seemed to be the work of the Imperial Noble Concubine.
But she didn't expect that she used the fake pregnancy pill at the right time. This way, she might be able to kill two birds with one stone.
"I know who it is."
"Host, you are so smart."
Xu Chu really wanted to look down on Bangbang, but Bangbang was just a virtual character created by the system.
But just as she was about to ask Xiaotao to get some sour plums, Eunuch Fu's voice rang out from outside her bedroom.
"Empress Xu, the Emperor asked you to attend the banquet."
ah……
Didn’t the dog emperor forbid her to go out?
How come before half a day had passed, he asked Eunuch Fu to come and invite her to the dinner?
"Okay, I understand."
Xu Chu was about to get up and wash and dress, but she heard Eunuch Fu's voice again, "Madam Xu, the emperor said you are not allowed to wash and dress, it's better to be a little sloppy."
What!
What kind of a trick is this?
Xu Chu thought of what they had discussed today. Could it be that the Dog Emperor didn't want others to see her beauty?
hehe!
The dog emperor is so autocratic.
No matter how despotic Zha Zha Long may be, he is nothing more than an emotionless machine.
"Okay, I understand."
Xu Chu didn't dress up, but opened the door and said sweetly, "Please trouble Eunuch Fu to go there in person."
She turned her head and ordered, "Xiao Tao, quickly take some gifts to thank Eunuch Fu."
Eunuch Fu has always been tactful and would not refuse the reward he just received.
"I thank Madam Xu."
"Please come in quickly, the emperor is waiting for you!"
"Okay, please lead the way, Eunuch Fu."
Xu Chu followed Eunuch Fu and got on the sedan chair.
But as soon as she got on the sedan chair, she pretended to be dizzy and leaned weakly.
Eunuch Fu saw Xu Chu's appearance and couldn't help but worry, "Madam Xu, please take care of yourself."
Xu Chu tried hard to pretend that nothing happened, "It's okay, the emperor's business is more important."
Upon seeing this, Eunuch Fu nodded.
However, he remembered what the emperor had instructed, so he followed while reporting, "Madam Xu, the emperor has instructed you not to talk too much with the young master. Anyway, you just need to pretend that you have no good feelings towards him."
"By the way, if possible, let the young master choose Concubine Ning."
ah……
The dog emperor actually asked her to recommend Concubine Ning.
But wasn’t Consort Ning conferred by the Emperor himself?
Xu Chu nodded and said weakly, "Okay, I understand."
"Eunuch Fu, I have something to ask you."
When Eunuch Fu heard Xu Chu's humble tone, he naturally felt that Xu Chu was the most humble concubine he had ever met.
"Empress Xu, if you have anything to ask, just let me know."
Xu Chu asked, "What is the origin of Concubine Ning? She is the daughter of the Prime Minister. I'm afraid the Prime Minister will not agree, right?"
"To answer Madam Xu, I don't know. But I can be sure of one thing: the Emperor does not like the Prime Minister to dominate alone."
Xu Chu understood that this was the emperor's art of balancing power.
"I have learned a lot from Eunuch Fu's teachings."
When Eunuch Fu heard this, he naturally couldn't be happy.
"Empress Xu, as long as you give birth to a prince for the Emperor, the Emperor will naturally promote you. You can rest assured."
"Yes, I know."
At this time, they arrived at the East Garden, a garden specially used for banquets, covering an area of about ten hectares.
Xu Chu looked at the several long round white pillars at the door. Some exquisite patterns were hung on the pillars, but these patterns were decorated with an exotic style. This combination of styles made it look even more luxurious.
"Empress Xu, please come in."
With Xiaotao's support, Xu Chu slowly walked towards the banquet venue.
But before they got there, they heard some pleasant piano sounds coming from inside.
If she guessed correctly, this was the famous song "High Mountains and Flowing Water".
But as soon as she walked in, she saw a man about twenty years old playing the piano.
He must be the young master.
It seems that they were also influenced by their Central Plains culture.
But she immediately shifted her gaze to Song Jingyan, "Your Majesty, may you be blessed with good health."
When Song Jingyan saw Xu Chu, he said, "My beloved, please come and sit next to me."
At this time, the young master who was playing the piano also heard the sound and looked over. Although it was just his back, he was still very charming.
"Young Master, this is our Concubine Xu." said the Imperial Noble Consort.
