The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

"I haven't seen my elder sister for a long time. She looks even more beautiful."

"Haha, the emperor too." Which woman would not be happy when being praised for her beauty, let alone the one who praised her was the emperor's extremely charming brother. The happiness on Xiyue's face increased visibly.

Xiyue, who was so complacent, didn't notice the look of shock on her palace maid's face that made her eyes twitch.

Qingyin seemed to glance unintentionally at the little palace maid who kept winking at her master, with a hint of warning in her eyes.

When Yue'er met the emperor's gaze, her face froze and she didn't dare to make any small movements to remind the princess.

Xiyue was coaxed into sitting down by Qingyin without making any noise, and ate the carefully baked snacks sent from the imperial kitchen. Her face was full of the simple joy that a foodie felt when eating delicious snacks.

Seeing that innocent and defenseless look, Yue'er felt a chill in her heart.

Looking at the princess like this, she probably forgot that the purpose of her visit was to thank His Majesty for rejecting the marriage proposal and to keep in touch with him.

Yue'er was thinking of being stubborn this time.

Xiyue did not forget while eating snacks, but she felt an infinite affection for this strange emperor and brother in her heart.

I've heard people say before that His Majesty is very fierce and emotionless. It must be because she comes less often. How can His Majesty show that he cares about her as his sister?

Look, when she arrived today, His Majesty treated her so warmly and kindly, giving her snacks and chatting with her, didn't he?

Xiyue thought happily, subconsciously ignoring the fact that in the past ten years, this strange and handsome royal brother had never taken the initiative to look for them.

"Your Majesty, I came here today because I heard about the marriage alliance in the Northern Wilderness from the court..." After Xiyue finished her snacks, she thought about the purpose of her visit and the marriage alliance, and a hint of hesitation and nervousness appeared on her face.

"If Beihuang is sincere, then as a princess, I am willing to contribute my strength to Your Majesty."

"Princess!" Yue'er looked at the princess in surprise and suddenly exclaimed, "This is not right what we said before."

"How dare you be so presumptuous in front of His Majesty!" Li De scolded.

Xiyue and Yue'er both knelt down in panic.

Qingyin waved towards Li De, obviously forgiving the maid under the eldest princess. Li De suppressed his surprise and doubts, and valued the importance of this eldest princess in the emperor's heart even more.

Qingyin stopped the two of them. She supported Xiyue and spoke softly, "I understand what elder sister means."

"But the barbarians of the Northern Wilderness are wickedly ambitious. How can a mere marriage truly satisfy them? Eldest sister, please don't take this incident to heart. My brother has other plans for the Northern Wilderness War."

After hearing about what happened in Beihuang, Xiyue realized that even if she was not involved, her brother the emperor had other plans. Her worries about Daxia and her guilt towards its people finally subsided a lot.

Xiyue finally smiled, "Okay, thank you, Your Majesty."

Silly girl, it is obviously a good thing for you not to get married, but now you have to bring it up again because you care about the country.

If it wasn't Qingyin who was on the throne now, perhaps other emperors would have actually agreed to such a marriage plan.

Looking at Xiyue who was simply relaxed, Qingyin really had a little more appreciation for her, the eldest royal sister.

The Crown Princess, Princess Xiyue is worthy of this title.

"You're welcome, elder sister."

Qingyin asked Princess Xiyue to sit up and began to tentatively ask about things that interested her.

"Is my eldest sister's birthday coming soon?"

Xiyue looked a little confused, not knowing why her emperor brother suddenly changed the topic so quickly.

But when she heard her brother ask this, she subconsciously thought about it and recalled her birthday.

Xiyue nodded, "Yes, on the 16th of this month."

Qingyin's face showed a trace of shame. "Eldest sister, you know that my brother is still young. The emperor left not long ago. The new dynasty is in turmoil. Now my brother..."

Qingyin deliberately paused, a hint of sadness appearing on her face.

The gorgeous face was shrouded in sea mist, revealing a fragile and fragile halo of beauty.

The powerful and arrogant person's vulnerability could not help but move the onlookers.

Xiyue was just like that. Seeing her incredibly handsome emperor brother reveal a bit of vulnerability, Xiyue's heart ached.

Only then did she remember that her brother, the emperor who looked powerful and calm, was just a young man who had just turned fourteen and lost his father.

Thinking of how he had ignored her for so many years (the heavy fog was actually just because he didn't dare to approach her because of her reputation), the pain in Xiyue's eyes seemed real.

"His Majesty……"

Seeing the genuine heartache in the girl's eyes, Qingyin didn't try to deceive the innocent girl. She said to Xiyue with a touching expression, "Brother knows that my elder sister loves me. I also want to make a big splash at my elder sister's birthday party and invite some ministers and people my elder sister likes to have a lively occasion and wash away the sadness of the change of dynasties."

"it is good."

—

Xiyue left happily.

Qingyin also achieved her goal.

He took advantage of his sister's birthday party to meet his cousin who was dressed as a woman.

A week after arriving in the Xia Dynasty, Qingyin changed the time for attending court and scolded several ministers who tried to stop her from changing the time.

This caused the ministers in the court to feel a little nervous as they looked at their beautiful emperor for several days.

I don’t know why, although His Majesty the Emperor is very young, he can curse people without using a single dirty word, and he can make people turn blue and red.

The ministers felt helpless but also a little strangely proud. He was indeed worthy of being the little prince raised by the late emperor himself. He was so good at scolding people.

After the news spread in the palace that His Majesty was going to hold a grand birthday party for the eldest princess, both the princesses in the court and the ministers outside the court couldn't help but feel nervous.

After all, His Majesty the Emperor had never shown any affection for the eldest princess before. Oh, no, there is one thing. It is said that when the Northern Wilderness proposed marriage, His Majesty proposed marriage to the eldest princess, but he refused.

It seems that the people above really have some feelings for the eldest princess, so the gifts given at this birthday party cannot be too light.

Not to mention that the ministers all had different ideas and wanted to prepare a unique gift for the eldest princess.

In the Xia Dynasty, all unmarried princesses lived in the palace and only moved out after getting married.

In the residence where the princesses of the imperial palace lived, several of the few princesses of Da Xia gathered together tacitly in Xiyue's palace.

"Eldest sister, did His Majesty really say that he would hold a big birthday party for you?" The person who asked Xiyue was a delicate and cute girl about twelve or thirteen years old. She stared at Xiyue with a suspicious look.

Xiyue nodded, "Of course, your majesty is the emperor. How can the emperor repent after hearing his words?"

"And," Xiyue paused, and thought of the fragile side of her brother in front of her. A trace of heartache appeared on her face. Her brother was forced to ascend the throne at such a young age. The emperor left, and there was no mother to speak for him. She must speak well of him in front of her sisters.

Let Your Majesty have another sister to care about.

"Your Majesty actually cares about us very much, but your brother is busy with government affairs and cannot take care of us."

"He cares about us!" The twelve or thirteen-year-old girl widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.

"Mengxin, you are rude." The girl next to her, who was dressed in green and had a cold and quiet temperament, glanced at her with a fierce look in her eyes.

The girl in question is none other than the current emperor's fourth sister, the youngest princess Meng Xin, who is only one year younger than the emperor and was born to Concubine An.

The one who warned her was the second princess, Princess Yuanya, the only daughter of Concubine Lan.

Although Princess Yuan Ya is one year younger than Xiyue, her IQ and EQ are much higher than hers.

Looking at her little sister who dared to say anything in the palace, Yuan Ya's eyes revealed a hint of disappointment.

Meng Xin was raised by Princess Yuan Ya's mother for a period of time. To her, Yuan Ya was no different from her biological parents' sister.

Seeing her second sister warning her, Meng Xin couldn't help but reveal a guilty look on her face, and she didn't dare to speak so boldly anymore.
