Chapter 005: Royal Palace Scandal

The next morning, the housekeeper came to invite Xia Xue.

Seeing Xia Xue with her hair simply tied into a bun, she was a little surprised.

Meng Ya followed behind and took the small dressing box.

The carriage swayed for more than an hour before arriving at the gate of the palace.

Once inside the palace, everyone had to walk.

Chu Zhenxuan, who was giving instructions to the housekeeper, was stunned when he saw Xia Xue stepping down slowly on a stool with one foot.

Xia Xue casually lifted up her fallen hair, a faint smile flashing across her lips.

I have put on a scheming costume today, I don’t believe you won’t be fascinated by it.

However, Chu Zhenxuan's infatuated eyes proved that his vision was not too bad.

Chu Zhenxuan's eyelids twitched. Xia Xue had indeed surprised him today. When the butler just reported to him that Xia Xue had just worn her hair in a simple bun, he had thought of taking her to Concubine Rong to fix her appearance. He had not expected that she could dress up like this in the carriage.

What Xia Xue said just now, does it mean that she applied the makeup herself?

He was never stingy in praising a woman's beauty. On the day he married Xia Xue, he also praised her beauty. But later on, Xia Xue's personality made him lose interest more and more.

He shook his head in self-mockery. This woman must not be exaggerated. She started to laugh at him after just one more look.

Thinking of this, Chu Zhenxuan's face darkened and he continued talking to the housekeeper.

Xia Xue curled her lips.

I’m dressed like this, why don’t I get any extra points?

People always say that women are fickle, and this stinky man is just as fickle. His eyes were so passionate just now, but when he turned around, it was as if he saw nothing.

snort.

Chu Zhenxuan gave some further instructions, then took Xia Xue's hand and walked into the palace.

Yes, just hold her hand.

Did this stinky man take the wrong medicine today? He is so gentle?

Is he afraid that I will tell on him or cause trouble?

No, everyone says a gentle knife is a gentle knife, but Chu Zhenxuan, this smiling tiger, is not a knife when he is gentle, but a time bomb that can smash you to pieces at any time.

Chu Zhenxuan squeezed Xia Xue's hand, using some force.

This stinky man has really strong hands, how can I get rid of him? He said that it is forbidden to touch each other in the palace?

After all, he and I are husband and wife. Even if he can't do it, outsiders don't know about it.

Maybe Xia Xue was being overly suspicious, but she felt the hand holding her get even tighter.

How about I put some powder on my hands later? I'll make the emperor itch to death when I see him.

How can I wipe it on?

Chu Zhenxuan suddenly stopped and shook off her hand.

Xia Xue didn't notice and her body swung due to inertia and hit Chu Zhenxuan's shoulder.

"Smelly"

Xia Xue swallowed the word "man" forcefully.

"It's ugly, my husband. What should I do if you make someone's headdress look ugly? It's disgusting."

The voice was so coquettish that Xia Xue herself felt a chill.

"I will go to see the emperor first. You wait here. If the emperor does not summon you, I will take you to pay your respects to Concubine Rong later."

It turns out that there is no need to see the emperor.

It's better to meet a concubine than to meet an emperor, there are fewer rules.

He has mentioned this Concubine Rong countless times. I really want to see who this sacred lady is.

Then, Xia Xue said with a gentle smile on her face, "Go ahead, Lord Hou. I'll wait here."

Chu Zhenxuan opened his mouth, but said nothing, then turned and left.

Only a fool would wait for you there.

Xia Xue kept walking along the fork in the road.

The imperial palace is indeed much more luxurious than the prime minister's residence.

In the past, I always felt the imperial palace through the writings of literati and poets, but now I have seen it with my own eyes, and it is almost there.

At this moment, a discordant sound came from the rockery.

"Palace scandal?"

Xia Xue frowned and wanted to leave this troubled place as soon as possible.

But in a hurry, Xia Xue's feet slipped and several pieces of gravel slid down with her.

"who?"

Xia Xue's pupils shrank and she looked around. The only place where she could hide was inside the rockery.

Without thinking too much, Xia Xue hurriedly got into the interlayer of the rockery.

A man in an eunuch's uniform, with his shirt half-unzipped, stuck his head out to take a look.

"My lady, you are too sensitive. Your people are guarding outside. Who dares to get close?"

Queen?

Xia Xue clenched her fists, she really had stepped on a landmine.

"This is the imperial palace after all, so we should be careful."

Through the gap in the rockery, Xia Xue saw the man pick up the woman in gorgeous clothes and put her on the high and low rocks.

......

After a while, a series of discordant sounds continued to be heard.

Xia Xue turned her head away. In her previous life, she had gone to Thailand and had never seen a live performance of this level. She was afraid that she would get stye when she returned.

After a while, the two finished and walked out.

"Look, what is that?" the woman pointed.

The man picked it up.

A light pink handkerchief embroidered with orchids.

Xia Xue in the rockery was shouting "Alpaca" in her heart.

"This is made of ice silk that was offered as tribute this year. There are only a few pieces, so it's not hard to find."

The fake eunuch took a look at the rubble that Xia Xue had just stepped on and suddenly turned around.

Xia Xue bit her lower lip tightly, watching the fake eunuch getting closer.

【Warning, danger! 】

【Warning, danger! 】

【Warning, danger! 】

It was Bibi's voice.

[Xia Xue: Of course I know the danger. If he finds me, I'll be dead. What should I do?]

【Bibi: You can redeem the 'Relieve Crisis' function once. 】

【Xia Xue: Redeem it quickly.】

【Bibi: Need to be consumed】

【Xia Xue: Stop talking nonsense and hurry up.】

【Bibi: Redemption successful.】

"Your Majesty, hurry up, the Emperor and Prime Minister Chu are heading this way."

The woman winked at the fake eunuch, and the two of them disappeared from Xia Xue's sight in an instant.

Xia Xue breathed a sigh of relief, [Bibi, where have you been these days? ]

[Bibi: The mission failed that day, and I was forcibly recalled. ]

【Xia Xue: What are the consequences of a forced recall? 】

【Bibi: All our previous points have been reset to zero.】

【Xia Xue: Damn! 】

[Xia Xue: Have the rules for leaving changed as well? ]

【Bibi: How do you know? 】

[Bibi: This time, the mission is to accumulate negative emotions...]

【Xia Xue: Negative emotions?】

Xia Xue suddenly thought that she originally thought Chu Zhenxuan was obsessed with her, and the +1+1+1 that appeared above his head turned out to be a negative emotion?

Damn! Damn! Damn!

【Xia Xue: Then it’s not a sentimental character, it’s just making him angry to death, making him angry to death, making him angry to death, right?】

【Bibi: This is up to you, as long as it can add points.】

[Xia Xue: Besides Chu Zhenxuan, who else is the target of the strategy? ]

【Bibi: Whoever you can see numbers on top of his head is the one.】

[Xia Xue: How much negative value is needed? ]

Bibi lowered her voice with a guilty conscience, [Ten Thousand]

......

Xia Xue picked up a big stone and threw it at Bibi's shadow.

"Who? Who's there?"

Xia Xue was startled. It was Chu Zhenxuan's voice.

A hundred reasons flashed through Xia Xue's mind, but after thinking about it, she still felt that getting lost was the most reliable option.

Just as she was about to walk out of the rockery, Xia Xue saw the face of the man in dragon robe standing next to Chu Zhenxuan.

She still vaguely remembered that she kneaded, pinched, slapped and hit her.

Did she blow up the Milky Way in her previous life? That’s why she is so lucky. She finally offended someone, and he was the emperor...

"Not coming out yet?"

As the words fell, Xia Xue saw two golden characters appear above the emperor's head: "+1".
