“I’ll go change.”

Su Qing was wearing a coarse linen shirt. It was not tiring to work in this kind of clothes, unlike the long palace clothes that would trip her when she walked. However, she could not wear a coarse linen shirt when seeing her father. Even it she did not wear the Empress’s palace clothes, she had to change into a clean dress.

Because of the disgust in her heart, Su Qing did not wear the Empress’s dress. Instead, she changed into a light silk gauze dress. She was prepared to sell it for a high price, so she might as well wear it herself.

The silk was soft and light. It was beautiful and light on her body, giving her a fairy-like feeling. The color of the dress was Su Qing’s favorite light green. It was elegant and dignified, suitable for her cold temperament.

She didn’t do anything to her hair but just tied it up casually. She didn’t want to be the Empress anymore, so she didn’t have to care about the dignity of the Empress.

Xiao Lanxin’s eyes lit up when she saw the silk dress her sister-in-law was wearing. She was so beautiful. Even though her sister-in-law was pregnant, her beauty was not something ordinary people could compare to.

Her beauty was incomparable, like a noble phoenix shining brightly.

“Sister-in-law, you look so beautiful in this dress.”

Xiao Lanxin praised her sister-in-law sincerely. She admired her sister-in-law and felt that no woman could compare to her.

“I made one for you too. I’ll give it to you when you get married.”

Su Qing saw Xiao Ying’s adoring gaze and felt much better. She smiled as she spoke to her.

Seeing that her sister-in-law had finally smiled, Xiao Ying was pleased. She held her arm and acted coquettishly.

“Sister-in-law, what are you saying? If I don’t marry, I’ll accompany you for the rest of my life.”

“Alright, then I’ll let your brother...”

Su Qing said it casually, but she swallowed her words as soon as she said it.

“Give my brother what?”

Xiao Lanxin asked her sister-in-law on purpose. She had to untie the knot between them. Otherwise, her heart would ache when she saw her sister-in-law unhappy.

She liked her sister-in-law’s arrogant look and did not want to see her unhappy.

“It’s nothing. Stop talking nonsense. If you don’t marry, the Third Prince will come to him to ask for you.”

The smile on Su Qing’s face disappeared. She said faintly and forcefully.

“Sister-in-law, I’ll accompany you out of the palace tomorrow.”

Seeing that her sister-in-law was unhappy again, Xiao Lanxin quickly changed the topic and didn’t dare to mention her brother again.

The two of them went to Yangxin Palace Hall, as they talked. The eunuch went in to report. Su Qing could not help but frown, and she began to feel frustrated again.

These complicated formalities were annoying.

“In the future, you cannot let the Empress wait outside.”

“Qing’er, I’ll teach Zhou Wen a lesson today. Do you want to hear it to vent your anger?”

After Xiao Zeyu helped Su Qing sit down, he told Su Qing how he would deal with Zhou Wen.

Hearing Xiao Zeyu say that the ministers were not allowed to take concubines was entirely out of Su Qing’s expectations.

The anger in her heart was reduced by half. This was like killing a chicken to show the monkey. Whoever dared to hand over a memorial to the emperor to take a concubine would be dealt with!

“Qing’er, Yu’er is a good man.”

Su Hanxuan spoke up for his son-in-law and told his daughter to cherish him.

“Father, I miss Mother and Little Chen. I want to go home for a few days.”

Su Qing wanted to return to her mother’s house for a few days to calm down.

“How can this be?”

Su Hanxuan was frightened. His daughter was too unwomanly. How could she leave her husband and return to her mother’s house so casually?

“Why not? If I get married, it won’t be my family anymore?”

Su Qing’s good mood was gone again. Why didn’t she realize that her father was so pedantic in the past?

“Qing’er, in a few days, I’ll accompany you back, alright?”

Xiao Zeyu hurriedly coaxed Su Qing. He couldn’t let her leave, afraid that she would never return.

“No need.”

Su Qing glared at him.

“Qing’er, I don’t even allow the officials to take concubines. As the emperor, shouldn’t I set an example?”

When Xiao Zeyu heard this, he was jealous. He hurriedly expressed his sincerity. If the officials weren’t allowed to take concubines, then as the emperor, he naturally wouldn’t take concubines.

Hearing Xiao Zeyu’s words, Su Qing’s anger dissipated.

Perhaps it was because of her pregnancy that her mood fluctuated too much, and she became obsessed with it.

“Qing’er, Yu’er is a rare good man in this world.”

“How is it rare? Which one of you or your uncle took a concubine? Weren’t they supposed to be together for a lifetime? Why can’t he?”

Su Qing said lightly. Xiao Zeyu hurriedly added,

“Yes, Qing’er is right. I also want to learn from my father-in-law and uncle-in-law and grow old with Qing’er.”

Su Qing glanced at him. This time, her gaze wasn’t as sharp as before. It was a little coy, making Xiao Zeyu’s heart blossom joyfully. Qing’er should be able to come back to stay tonight, right?
