Murong Xiao is so young, and as a killer, she is not only skilled in martial arts but also has a vicious mouth. Apart from the fact that she doesn't want Murong Xiao and Qingyun to be together, this woman is definitely a rare talent to fight for the throne and participate in the harem disputes.
You can tell this by looking at the expressions of Ling Yingzhen and Qian Yeyao.
The Queen said with a forced smile, "Xiao'er is right. For such a shameless and desperate person, he won't admit it unless he is caught red-handed. Sister, don't you agree?"
The Imperial Concubine and Prince Li's faces flushed crimson with anger. The Imperial Concubine, in particular, already had a headache, and now, irritated by the Empress and Murong Xiao, two vicious women, her headache was exacerbated. A nearby maid saw this and immediately brought her painkillers.
"Oh, sister, you don't look well. Is your headache coming back? Since your old illness has recurred, you should go back to the palace and stay there. The weather is not good today, and a headache plus a cold will not be easy to recover from."
Under Prince Li's worried gaze, the Imperial Concubine forced a smile and said, "It's okay. I won't be tired sitting here anyway."
She brought her son here to watch the show today. Even if she couldn't win over the eloquent mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in front of her, she would definitely not leave.
Seeing that the Imperial Noble Consort and Prince Li had no intention of leaving, Murong Qingyun stood up and said, "Since the Imperial Noble Consort and Prince Li are here, I'd better take my leave first. Xiao'er, you must obey the Empress' orders while you are in the palace."
"Don't worry, big brother. Take care."
"Hey, why are you leaving Master Qingyun right after I arrived? It's as if I'm not welcome at all."
Murong Qingyun smiled politely and said, "Royal Concubine, you're worrying too much. Since there weren't many people around just now, Qingyun stayed to chat with my sister about family matters. Now that the Royal Concubine, Prince Li, and Prince Li's wife are here, I'm an outsider. It's not easy to beg for mercy in this deep palace, so I'd better take my leave."
"The Emperor has arrived—"
Murong Qingyun was about to leave when the eunuch's high-pitched voice was heard. In the distance, Crown Prince Qian Yeming, dressed in court robes, walked towards them, following the emperor.
Murong Qingyun narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched the two bright yellow figures approaching, one in front and one behind. The two colors were so dazzling that they burned his eyes.
Seeing the emperor arrive, everyone present stood up and bowed to greet him.
The Queen glared at Qian Yeming fiercely, blaming him for bringing the Emperor here. But Qian Yeming looked at her nose, and looked at his heart, as if he didn't see the Queen's expression at all.
"So the Queen is here too!"
The Empress was slightly taken aback by the Emperor's words. She had thought that Qian Yeming had lured the Emperor here, but it seemed that was not the case. Then, she glanced at the Imperial Concubine, whose expression had changed from gloomy to bright, and her silver teeth were sore from anger.
"Your Majesty, I originally wanted to invite you to have lunch here, but when I came here, I saw my sister talking with the Crown Princess and Young Master Qingyun. I was embarrassed to change places, so I invited my sister to dine with me. Your Majesty will not blame me, right?"
The emperor laughed and said, "How could that be? Since the empress and the crown princess are here too, why not have dinner together?" Although he knew that the royal concubine had bad intentions, he was not angry.
"It's your Majesty's family dinner, I'll take my leave first." Murong Qingyun immediately prepared to leave when he saw that the situation was not right.
"Oh, it's Qingyun! Why are you with the Queen?"
