The Queen sealed her heart and locked up her love, and the Emperor was trapped in the crematorium

After the first experience of leaving the palace, there would naturally be a second time, a third time... Whenever Xie Yaoqing felt bored staying in the palace, she would go out of the palace to relax.

Over time, leaving the palace had become a common thing for her.

In this regard, Xiao Chengxu did not express any objection, and others did not dare to have any opinions.

The queen mother, who had a say, was "recuperating" and could not intervene in the matter. In addition, the harem became empty, with no other concubines. This made Xie Yaoqing realize for the first time that managing the harem was so easy. Because it was too idle and boring, she had no choice but to leave the palace to find some fun.

While outside the palace, Xie Yaoqing heard a lot of rumors.

"Have you heard? That person seems to have some health problems, which is why no princes or princesses have been born in all these years."

"They all say that the one who is infertile, but in fact, the problem is not that one, but that one."

"That guy is so pitiful. Alas, having a husband like this is like being a widow."

……

Although he didn't shout at the top of his lungs, he still grumbled quietly. After all, speaking ill of the emperor in broad daylight, did he think his life was too long?

Xie Yaoqing often went out of the palace, and even if she didn't deliberately ask, she could still hear some rumors. She couldn't help but shake her head slightly, finding it very funny.

Everything in the world is relative. In the past, there were rumors about her everywhere. Some said she was jealous, some said she was infertile, and some said she treated the palace maids harshly... Anyway, there were few good things to say about her.

However, now, Xiao Chengxu's behavior was ridiculous and he didn't follow the rules at all. In comparison, her previous behavior was nothing. People's attention naturally shifted to Xiao Chengxu, and they pointed fingers at him.

There is no worst reputation, only worse ones. As long as there is a big enough excitement, it can overwhelm all other excitement. In this way, the previous rumors against her will gradually be forgotten.

Half a month later, Xie Yaoqing came to the door of Xianleju again.

This was her third time to come to Xianleju. The first two times she was received by Madam Miaoyin. Because of her generosity, the manager was impressed by Xie Yaoqing and knew that she was very satisfied with Madam Miaoyin.

However, this time the situation was different. When Xie Yaoqing asked if she could be received by Madam Miaoyin, the steward showed an embarrassed expression and told her that Madam Miaoyin already had other guests and could not receive new guests.

Xie Yaoqing was not a person who liked to make things difficult for others. First come, first served. After all, she came here on a whim and did not make an appointment in advance. If Madam Miaoyin was not convenient to receive her, it was understandable.

So Xie Yaoqing said that he could rearrange the personnel as long as they were good at singing and dancing.

Hearing Xie Yaoqing being so reasonable, the manager naturally nodded and agreed.

Just as she stepped onto the stairs to the second floor, Xie Yaoqing unexpectedly met someone's eyes at the corner. When their eyes met, both of their faces changed slightly, and their eyes were full of astonishment. It was obvious that they had not expected to meet each other in this place.

"Mom...why are you here?"

The word "Empress" was about to come out of his mouth, but Gu Qingjian swallowed it back.

Xie Yaoqing turned her head away awkwardly, avoiding the other person's sight.

It would be fine if she was recognized on the street, but she was here to listen to music. As the queen of a country, it was really inappropriate and against the rules for her to appear in a place of fireworks in men's clothing. Coincidentally, she was caught by an acquaintance, which made her more or less embarrassed.

"Mr. Gu is here too, what a coincidence." Xie Yaoqing laughed dryly and tried to ease the awkward atmosphere with greetings, but her smile still revealed a hint of embarrassment.

Gu Qingjian stared at Xie Yaoqing quietly for a moment, remaining silent, and then followed Xie Yaoqing into the private room. After all, he couldn't just stand at the stairs and greet people.

"Your Majesty's actions are truly absurd. If the imperial censors in the court find out, they will surely impeach you."

Gu Qingjian's tone was heavy, his face full of disapproval.

Xie Yaoqing gently waved the folding fan in her hand and said nonchalantly, "Don't they know yet? Brother Gu, the person standing in front of you right now is not the queen who is the mother of the country, but the son of the Xie family, the fourth child in the family."

Xie Yaoqing would not be so foolish as to go out without any preparation. Before leaving, she dressed up carefully. If she met someone she didn't know well, it would be difficult to tell their true identity.

Even if she was discovered, Xie Yaoqing was not afraid. If someone could depose her from the position of queen through impeachment, it would not be a bad thing for her.

Hearing this, Gu Qingjian frowned slightly, showing a helpless look, and sighed: "Even so, Your Majesty still needs to act with caution."

When Xie Yaoqing heard this, he felt unhappy.

Proceed with caution?

Since ascending the throne of Queen, she has been cautious all the time, fearing that she would make a mistake, but what is the result? The voices criticizing and accusing her have never stopped. How can she be perfect and satisfy everyone?

"Forget it, let's not talk about spoiling the fun. Brother Gu, why are you here? Could it be that there is one of your beautiful women hiding in this Xianleju?" Xie Yaoqing asked suspiciously, with curiosity in his eyes.

Hearing this, Gu Qingjian's expression instantly became a little strange, but he quickly recovered: "I... do have a friend here."

Seeing this, Xie Yaoqing understood a little bit in her heart. Friend? Isn't it the so-called confidante?

It's a good thing to have a confidante, who might even be your sweetheart.

The more Xie Yaoqing thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high. Gu Qingjian would rather offend the emperor than accept the service. It must be because he had already been thinking about someone else.

This person is most likely the friend he mentioned who was hiding in Xianleju. However, due to his dishonorable identity, he was opposed by the elders in his family, so the two have not been able to get married yet.
