The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

In the previous dynasty, King Cheng had considerable power, and the women of the Xia family naturally supported Xia Shuyi, who became the princess.

Old Madam Xia was born into a noble family and enjoyed a life of luxury after marrying into the Xia family.

When Qin Wan brought the little lion back to the capital, none of the ministers in the court took the mother and son seriously.

The ladies in the back house even despised Qin Wan's background.

All they were thinking about was how to send their daughter to the palace and try their best to win the position of Crown Princess.

At first, the Xia family also wanted to send their granddaughter over, but they saw that the emperor liked the daughter of the Yao family more.

But no one expected that the Crown Prince would be of the same mind as the Crown Princess, and that the Crown Princess would carve out a path for herself and now become the Queen.

In fact, not only Qin Wan, but also Zhao Zhen, who was the crown prince at the time, was considered a military man by people in the court.

The noble families in the capital never took Emperor Zhao Nanxiao seriously before, otherwise they would not have surrendered openly but opposed his policies secretly.

It is true that Zhao Nanxiao was a marquis in the past, but the emperor of the Shang Dynasty treated him like a dog and cut back on military equipment wherever possible.

When Zhao Nanxiao came to the capital, even the minor officials in the Ministry of War dared to make things difficult for him, blocking him here and there.

The aristocratic families in Chang'an City looked down on the Zhao family.

Although Zhao Nanxiao later proclaimed himself emperor, how many people thought that he was worthy of being an emperor due to his talent?

Everyone thought he was just a barbarian from the north.

As a century-old family entrenched in Chang'an City, they have a rich heritage and this pride is deeply engraved in their bones.

What they thought was that the emperor would take turns, and it was still unclear who would be in power next year.

The emperor can change, but their family will not change.

Sure enough, Zhao Nanxiao ascended the throne and had similar ideas as theirs. He did not take action against the aristocratic families, but instead recognized the identity of their previous dynasty.

Even his official position in the court remained unchanged, and he even showed an intention to please.

This conciliatory policy really played into the hands of the aristocratic families.

As a result, their attitude became more arrogant. When facing the prince, they refused to give in and even dared to impeach him.

However, this situation improved when the Crown Princess came to power.

That is real killing!!!

The family was exterminated and all money, land, houses and servants were confiscated.

Nowadays, the ministers in the court no longer oppose the new emperor Zhao Zhen. It was all because of Qin Wan.

Compared with Qin Wan, Zhao Zhen's methods are so gentle!!!

Qin Wan was not constrained by the thoughts of the ancients. She killed a chicken to show her respect, not to scare people.

It’s just that the Xia family has never been dealt with by Qin Wan, which gave the people of the Xia family the wrong impression.

I felt like I could dance on her head and pose like an elder.

Because of Xia Tongzhang's words, the room became quiet.

Xia Yizi glanced at Xia Wenyao and said, "Grandfather, I think my second sister is old enough, so she should find someone to marry as soon as possible!"

Xia Wenyao looked up suddenly, "Big brother, how could you?"

Xia Wenyao felt very aggrieved.

Xia Yizi knew Xia Wenyao's plan very well. "Second sister, even if you have feelings for the emperor, the emperor has no interest in you."

Xia Wenyao: “.........”

Xia Wenyao bit her lip and said, "How does big brother know what the emperor is thinking? Besides, I look so much like my cousin the queen."

Xia Yizi looked at her cousin as if she were a fool. "You? How can you make the emperor look at you differently?"

"Can you handle state affairs for the emperor, or develop weapons to help him unify the country?"

"I... these are not what a woman should do?" Xia Wenyao retorted, "I am beautiful, that's enough!"

She wants to be a concubine, why does she need to know those things?

Xia Yizi: “….”

Xia Yizi was even more speechless, "What advantage do you have when your face looks 60% like the queen?

Even if you want to use a substitute, the real owner has to be away!"

Xia Yizi's words were very impolite.

Women are too naive, thinking that beauty is all that matters.

They don't know that beauty without brains is of no use.

Did she think that those who came to the Xia family to propose marriage were attracted by her looks?

That was because of the power of the Xia family. The man wanted the help of the Xia family.

When the ladies of the Xia family heard what Xia Yizi said, they were very surprised.

They didn't expect that Xia Yizi, who was always gentle and polite, would become so sharp-tongued.

Xia Wenyao's tears immediately flowed down, "Brother, you are bullying me, wuwuwu!"

Madam Xia advised, "Yizhi, please say less."

Madam Xia felt that what she said was not enough, and their third branch was implicated for no reason.

Mrs. Xia felt very uncomfortable. Her good daughter was spoken of like this.

Xia Yizi said: "Mother, you must make my second sister recognize the facts. The emperor can now ascend to the throne because of the queen's efforts to turn the tide.

Even if the emperor wants to continue to expand his harem, he will never choose the second sister. "

"With the Queen here, Second Sister's face cannot enter the palace."

Xia Wen Yao clenched her handkerchief tightly. Thinking of what Qin Wan had said about the reason why she was not selected, Xia Wen Yao inexplicably felt that the world was unfair.

Why should she ruin her bright future because of Qin Wan?

She is obviously the noble lady of the Earl's Mansion!

"Grandfather, I think it's better to marry my second sister off as soon as possible."

Lord Xia nodded and said, "Okay, I will write to my hometown and ask the clan leader to choose a good marriage for me."

As soon as Lord Xia said this, the ladies of the Xia family were shocked.

This means that Xia Wenyao will be married off to another place.

“Grandfather, Grandfather, I don’t want it!”

"Father, Yao'er can't leave the capital!" Madam Xia began to plead.

"Okay, all of you go down!"

Lord Xia made the final decision.

Mrs. Xia Er helped the sad Xia Wen Yao out.

At this time, Madam Xia and other female members of the family all retreated.

Old Madam Xia did not leave, because she knew her husband still had something to say.

Lord Xia said, "We still have to apologize to the Queen, so we need to be more sincere this time!"

Xia Tongzhang was puzzled, "Father, didn't the Queen punish you?"

Old Madam Xia also muttered, "That's right, I also sent you a beautiful woman!"

Lord Xia rolled his eyes at his wife and said, "Why bother with those trivial matters?"

What does it matter if there is one more or one less woman?

Only women with long hair and short knowledge will care about a man’s sincerity that doesn’t exist in the first place!

"Now it's about the boss. Originally, with this achievement, the boss could have entered the second rank and returned to Beijing!"

"But now, I'm afraid..."

Lord Xia sighed. How difficult is it to be promoted from the third rank to the second rank?

Xia Yizi was even more annoyed, "Grandfather, are you saying that there are changes in my father's trip to Beijing?"

"This thing is probably not going to work!!!"

Lord Xia is now regretting to the core, wondering why he let his wife enter the palace in the first place.

Madam Xia slammed her hand on the table and said, "No, the boss's trip to Beijing cannot be changed. I will go and ask Shuhua to ask the Queen to ask her!"

At this time, Xia Tongmiao came in hurriedly, "Father, there is news from the palace that the Queen has been assassinated!"

Old Madam Xia was stunned at first, but then she felt refreshed!
