Chapter 121: The Shock of Kunning Palace

Xia Miaoyuan bit her finger and stared at Cao Qingchun intently, noticing that he looked at Yin Xizi with shyness.

[No way, could it be love at first sight? ]

[Aunt Yin is 33 years old, and Cao Qingchun is almost 30 years old. The age difference is reasonable. ]

[A sister-brother relationship is not bad! ]

[If Yin Xizi, who is cold and efficient, lives with Cao Qingchun, who is full of nonsense and has a mild temperament, hahaha, that would be interesting. ]

Thinking of this, Xia Miaoyuan couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

The Emperor Mingxi, the Empress, the Crown Prince, the Second Prince and others present all heard this.

Cao Hanlin is interested in Doctor Yin?

Everyone looked at Cao Qingchun and Yin Xizi with strange eyes.

Cao Qingchun was seen with a red face, thanking Yin Xizi in a long-winded way, while Yin Xizi already looked impatient. Their

personalities were so different, could there be a chance for these two?

Xiao Wanyin blinked her big eyes, walked up to Cao Qingchun, and asked loudly: "Uncle, do you like Aunt Yin? Do you want to marry her?"

Instantly, the crowd of onlookers made a booing sound.

Cao Qingchun and Yin Xizi's faces were all red to their necks.

Yin Xizi turned around and left with her skirt lifted.

Cao Qingchun lowered his head, unable to say a word.

Although the full-month banquet of the little daughter of the Xiao family caused such a commotion, it did not affect everyone's mood at all.

Everyone ate and drank until the sun set, and then dispersed.

In the winter in the capital, the northwest wind is biting.

Xia Zhengqi was so busy that he felt weak. The cold wind caught a cold and he had a fever. He lay in the Qianqing Palace, feeling powerless.

Concubine Xian, Concubine Li, Concubine Rong, Lin Zhaoyi and other concubines rushed to the Qianqing Palace to bring soup, cakes and warmth to Xia Zhengqi.

Since the empress gave birth to the little princess, Xia Zhengqi has been devoted to state affairs. He often sleeps in the study or the Qianqing Palace. Even when he goes to the harem, he goes to the empress's Kunning Palace.

Xia Zhengqi's change made these concubines lonely and unbearable.

Now that Xia Zhengqi fell ill, it was a good opportunity for them to show their courtesy and compete for his favor. If they could please the emperor at this time, they might be able to regain his favor.

"Your Majesty, drink this bowl of lotus seed soup first. It nourishes the yin and moistens the lungs, and is very good for your body." Lipin held the bowl of soup in both hands, and deliberately threw a coquettish eye to Xia Zhengqi while speaking.

"I will drink it later." Xia Zhengqi waved his hands and said perfunctorily.

"Your Majesty, drink this bowl of red date millet porridge first. Millet is the most nourishing, and it is most suitable for drinking when you are bedridden due to the cold." Lin Zhaoyi held the porridge, not willing to be outdone.

Xia Zhengqi said impatiently, "Okay, okay, we'll drink later."

Concubine Xian glanced at the two of them with disdain, and said to Xia Zhengqi gently, "I will serve you in the Qianqing Palace tonight."

Just when Xia Zhengqi was dizzy from being annoyed by several concubines, he heard Debao report, "The Empress has arrived."

Xia Zhengqi breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly, "It's enough to have the Empress stay to serve you."

"You all go back and rest early. I'll keep these soups for you to drink slowly."

Concubine Xian and the others suppressed the unhappiness on their faces, pretended to greet the Empress for a few words, and then took their leave.

The queen fed Xia Zhengqi some soup, and suddenly felt a little regretful: "What if Miao'er wakes up in the middle of the night and can't find me?"

"Why don't we change them back to serve His Majesty."

Xia Zhengqi said with a bitter face: "Ruoyu, you can't do this to me."

"If you change them back, can I still recover from my illness?"

The queen covered her mouth and laughed.

After Concubine Xian and other concubines walked out of the Qianqing Palace, they deliberately walked at the end.

She turned around and looked at the lights of the Qianqing Palace, smiled sinisterly, and murmured to herself: "Empress, this opportunity tonight was given to me by you."

In Kunning Palace, the queen was not there, and Li Ma and the palace maids washed Xia Miaoyuan early, changed her into comfortable soft satin pajamas, and held her in bed.

"I'm not sleepy, don't sleep." Xia Miaoyuan said to Li Ma's face.

Nanny Li smiled helplessly.

When the queen was in the palace, she would always arrange for her to go to bed early every night. Tonight, she was not here, so she could play for a while longer.

Xia Miaoyuan opened the cabinet used to store gifts, took out the various gifts one by one, and played with them in her hands.

[Gold bracelets, gold ingots, gems, and gold crowns. These are jade pendants and jadeite.] [

Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, how much money must these be worth. This princess is really rich.]

She put on the bracelets and necklaces one by one, slowly admiring them, and was very intoxicated.

Nanny Li had no choice but to let her do what she wanted.

After playing for more than an hour, Xia Miaoyuan was tired and curled up in this pile of gold, silver and jewelry and fell asleep.

Nanny Li picked her up and laid her down, then covered her with a small quilt and lay down beside her.

Late at night, the entire palace was silent, with only a few lights on in the palace corridor.

A dark shadow staggered towards Kunning Palace.

With a "creak", a skinny hand pushed open the back door of Kunning Palace.

At this time, the air of Kunning Palace was filled with a strange breath, and the dead branches and fallen leaves in the courtyard were blown by the cold wind, making a series of "swooshing" sounds, which seemed particularly harsh in this quiet winter night.

"Demon, I'm here." The dark shadow muttered to herself, the voice was low but full of viciousness.

She walked straight towards Xia Miaoyuan's bedroom.

But strangely, no one from Kunning Palace came out to stop them.

With a creak, a skinny hand pushed open the door of Xia Miaoyuan's bedroom.

The little deer sleeping on the soft mattress woke up suddenly, looked up at the shadow at the door, and his pupils dilated instantly, and he bleated.

"Maomao, don't scream..." Mammy Li called out in a low voice.

In the other hand of the shadow, he held a shining long knife.

The blade refracted the moonlight, emitting a dazzling light that shot into the eyes of the deer. The deer trembled all over and crawled back.

At this time, the cold wind blew into the room, making Li Mama shiver.

"What?" Li Mama opened her eyes and saw a dark shadow walking towards her in the dim light. "

Ah!" Li Mama screamed in shock, and all sleepiness disappeared.

"Don't come over, who are you!"

The dark shadow laughed: "I am the Queen of the Great Xia, and I am here tonight to kill the evildoer!"

Xia Miaoyuan was sleeping soundly, but was suddenly awakened by the noisy sound, and was full of anger.

"Ah! Mama!" Xia Miaoyuan shouted in dissatisfaction.

Nanny Li looked at the approaching shadow in horror, stretched out her hand and shook Xia Miaoyuan.

[What are you doing? What are you doing? Are you going to let me sleep?]

Xia Miaoyuan opened her eyes in dissatisfaction and looked out in a daze.

Her eyes met a pair of vicious and fierce eyes.
