The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

After this incident, Qingyin no longer had the leisure to continue attending court.

The ministers could also see the emperor's expression, and one by one they asked to leave.

As for those minor matters, I will report them to Your Majesty tomorrow in the same way.

His Majesty is clearly in a bad mood today, but they are not fools and are still looking for trouble.

Of course, a fool cannot be an official.

—

Qingyin went straight to her bedroom after court. Not to mention the memorials, she got up early in the morning and her body was still underdeveloped like a minor, so how could she not sleep?

So Qingyin openly prepared to go back and catch up on her sleep. Anyway, no one dared to say that she, the emperor, was lazy.

However, as soon as Qingyin arrived at the bedroom, she took a shower.

Then he saw the eunuch Li Deqian standing guard at the door with a nervous look on his face.

Oh, that’s good now. I definitely can’t go to sleep right away.

Qingyin thought.

Qing Yin, concentrating her mind, kicked the hesitant Li De and said, "Foolish slave, if you have something to say, just say it. How dare you not report it to me?"

Li De chuckled. Having followed His Majesty for so many years and being considered as someone who grew up together, Li De still had some respect in the original body's heart. He also knew that His Majesty would generally not touch him.

So when facing Qingyin, he was not as afraid as others of His Majesty's fickleness: "Your Majesty, it's the one from the east, Princess Xiyue, who has arrived and wants to see you."

Under normal circumstances, Li De would never report to His Majesty the princess's request for an audience.

Because Your Majesty has always been a cold and aloof person. When the late emperor was still alive, Your Majesty only cared about the late emperor. He really couldn't see how important other people were.

As for those princesses, your majesty's sisters, your majesty probably just knows about their existence and has no feelings for them at all.

But today, the barbarians in the Northern Wilderness only need a princess to marry to achieve a truce and return to their territory. His Majesty rejected that person's suggestion and executed an official who spoke too radically. This has to be a little different.

That means His Majesty still cares about his sisters.

Then he naturally had to report Princess Xiyue's visit to His Majesty.

Li De thought about it for a few times, but his expression remained calm.

It has to be said that none of the eunuchs who could become the emperor were stupid, some were even too smart.

Qingyin blinked her slightly sleepy eyes and sat casually in the hall: "Okay, let the princess in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li De took his leave quietly.

On the other side, Princess Xiyue, who was not particularly beautiful but had a delicate and fair complexion, was also holding her maid's hand tightly.

"Yue'er, do you think His Majesty will see me?"

The palace maid named Yue'er was a girl with a round face and calm eyes. She patted the princess's hand soothingly.

"Don't worry, Princess. Since His Majesty openly refused the marriage proposal for you and even executed an official in the court, he must have you in his heart. His Majesty will definitely meet you."

"Really?" Princess Xiyue was having all sorts of random thoughts. She remembered her mother's advice to her when she died, that she should not get too close to her brother. Then she thought about the news footage she had just heard about His Majesty killing an official for her.

Princess Xiyue's face was a little dejected. She was not a smart person to begin with. Her eyes reddened. If her mother were still alive, she wouldn't have to worry so much and would know how to thank her royal brother.

Yue'er also knew her own princess's temperament and knew that the princess was somewhat afraid of His Majesty's violent and cold temper. A hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

I'm worried that the princess's timid nature will disgust His Majesty, but today, the marriage in the Northern Wilderness has already happened. Although His Majesty has temporarily and firmly rejected the possibility of marriage, there is no guarantee that His Majesty will not change his mind later.

It's like a person directly changing a city. If Yue'er were the emperor, she would be willing to do so through marriage.

Because of this, considering the princess's mother's family's weak power and His Majesty's current protection of the princess, she has to improve His Majesty's favorability for the princess so that the princess will not become a victim of that marriage.

Given the princess's personality, Yue'er had never thought of her going down the route of arranged marriage. With the princess's intelligence, if she was fooled and sold for money and still counted the money, Yue'er would be very grateful.

Therefore, this time, whether it was for thanks or for other reasons, she had to bring the princess to see His Majesty.

The majestic and luxurious Qianqing Palace is illuminated by the sun, shining brightly as if it symbolizes the supreme imperial power.

The master and the servant stood anxiously at the door, waiting for the announcement from the father-in-law inside.

Fortunately, their wait was not in vain, as the eunuch Li De, who had looked like a smiling tiger just now, came out again.

Facing them with a smile: "Haha, Princess Xiyue, please come in, His Majesty is waiting for you inside."

When Princess Xiyue heard the voice, she was both sad and happy. She was happy that she was summoned, but also sad that she was about to meet the notorious royal brother.

"Yes, thank you, eunuch." Princess Xiyue forced a smile and handed the prepared purse to Eunuch Li De.

"My father-in-law, please have some wine too."

Although Princess Xiyue is a little stupid, she grew up in the palace and under the training of her mother, she still knows some of the rules that must be dealt with in the palace.

"Haha, thank you Princess Xiyue." Li De pinched the weight of the purse in his palm, smiled with satisfaction, and his attitude was a little better than before.

Princess Xiyue, who was leaning on her maid to steady herself, couldn't help but sigh at the charm of money.

Woohoo, that was part of the dowry her mother saved for her. She didn’t use any of it and gave part of it to Eunuch Li De.

Although Princess Xiyue cried in her heart, she still knew that it was right for her to give the money to Li De.

The instructions given along the way also prove this fact.

"Princess Xiyue, His Majesty has just returned from court and has bathed and changed into pajamas."

Eunuch Li De has reminded me of this. Princess Xiyue is not stupid. She is just dumb, not stupid. The emperor's brother took a bath and changed into pajamas right after leaving the court. Doesn't that mean he is sleepy and wants to go to bed?

It seems that she can't chat for too long, so as not to disturb her brother the emperor's sleep, Princess Xiyue thought.

Walk into the luxurious palace.

Princess Xiyue also felt the huge difference between herself and her royal brother. She secretly envied the luxurious and wealthy decorations in the bedroom, then she was distracted and noticed the beautiful emperor "brother" sitting above her, wearing a casual black robe and with long hair.

"Ahem, Xiyue pays respects to Your Majesty." Princess Xiyue saluted hurriedly.

Qingyin nodded lazily, and said "hmm" in a tone that was neither enthusiastic nor indifferent, "Get up."

In fact, Qingyin did not miss the look of her overly naive elder sister. After all, the little girl's eyes did not sparkle at all for those expensive-looking decorations and vases in her palace.

A smile flashed in Qingyin's eyes.
