Inside Yongning Palace, Zhilan blocked the entrance and did not allow Xue Meng'er to enter, while Xue Meng'er also stood at the doorway, not giving in at all.
He had thought that Xue Meng'er would leave after a while, but the news of his Majesty being knocked out by the Empress had already reached the ears of the imperial concubines. Now that Xue'er had arrived at the empress's palace, they all hurriedly washed themselves and came over.
"Empress, the concubines and concubines have come to pay their respects. It looks like they're here to ask for forgiveness as well. What should we do?"
Zhilan was dealing with the consorts, but Zhexiu had long since ran in to say.
"Didn't this palace say that all palace concubines were exempted from greetings? Why did he come again? And what crime do they seek? "
It was one thing for them to come and beg for forgiveness, but what about the other concubines?
Ah, as expected, women often cause trouble in places. Gu Xiao felt dizzy. This group of women really had nothing to do after eating their fill, so why did they come to his Yongning Palace?
"Throw them away, all of you! This group of women are insane!"
Hu Xiao said as he looked at the chattering women outside the door.
In the past, Hu Xiaoxiao still thought that the emperors and emperors of ancient times were majestic and powerful when they went out. The emperors and emperors of the imperial harem numbered in the three thousand.
But now, Hu Xiaoxiao felt sympathy for the emperors of the imperial palace. This was simply too scary, talking back and forth, chattering non-stop to annoy the people of the imperial court. Furthermore, these women were basically just bored and had nothing to do.
Hu Xiaoxiao was a man who liked to fight, and did not like to think too much. Seeing so many people around, he started to get even more agitated.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the empress isn't feeling well today, so close the doors and refuse to see her. Ladies and gentlemen, please go back."
Originally, they were here to watch the show. Now that they were refusing to entertain anyone, how could they leave so easily? In addition, Imperial Concubine Xue hadn't left yet. Naturally, they had to wait and see.
As Zhilan watched these imperial concubines not only remain but go further and further away, she couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Miss Zhilan, did we see the empress well yesterday? Today, she's not feeling well. Could it be that the empress has done something that she can't bear to see and doesn't dare to come out?"
They had been sitting in the antechamber for a long time, not seeing each other and laughing, and they were getting impatient.
"That's right, Big Sis Ning Fei's words are reasonable. Could it be that Esteemed Empress has done some shameful things that made her afraid to show her face?"
When one of them spoke, the rest began to speak at once, ignoring the fact that the person they were talking about was a queen.
"How dare you!" "The empress is the head of the palace, and Rong is being so impudent in talking about the empress's private affairs in her palace!"
Zhilan looked at the loud voices of these imperial concubines and felt extremely infuriated.
"Yo, even the empress doesn't dare come out to see us now, so what if we talk?" Besides, the empress couldn't hear him. How would she know if I didn't tell her? Miss Zhilan, what do you say? "
Zhilan was after all just a single person, while the imperial concubine only occupied the majority of her people. Besides, her usually casual attitude towards the concubines had already caused her deep resentment. Now that there was such an opportunity to mock them, no one would let it go.
Everyone guessed that Hu Xiaoxiao's good days were over. Although Hu Xiao was the princess of the Southern Yue, he had offended the Emperor time and time again, so it was unlikely that the Southern Yue would be able to protect Hu Xiao.
"What is it? That's how you want to see me? "
Hu Xiaoxiao looked at the people outside, who were getting more and more intense. Although he did not want to face them, seeing that Zhilan was still not strong enough to suppress them, he leisurely walked out.
The concubines had already guessed that Hu Xiao wouldn't dare to come out and meet them, so they started to discuss loudly. However, when Hu Xiao looked at them with smiles on his face, they couldn't help but panic.
"Please forgive me, esteemed empress."
When the imperial concubines saw him laughing, they all hurriedly knelt down.
"Forgive? What crime did all the imperial concubines commit? "
When the crowd heard this, they were extremely happy. Indeed, the Queen did not dare to do anything, but the words that Hu Xiao said next made them feel as if they had fallen into a glacier.
"Come on, you guys were talking quite happily about me just now. Why don't you say it in front of me now?"
The previously noisy sleeping quarters instantly quieted down.
"What is it? You don't even dare to say anything when I come out? Didn't you say that you were excited just now? Why don't you dare fart now? "
In the end, Hu Xiaoxiao was furious because no one dared to make a sound. He could not help but feel extremely depressed. Even if he wanted to vent his anger now, there was no place for him to do so.
"Forget it, since my little sisters do not dare to say it, then I will not let myself hear those words a second time from your mouths!"
"Yes, thank you, esteemed empress."
Only now did everyone heave a sigh of relief. They had been too impetuous, and seeing that Xue'er was still kneeling on the ground, they didn't dare to get up.
"Imperial Concubine Xue, I heard that you're here to request for punishment today. Since you're here to request for punishment, then tell us what your crime is."
Seeing Xue Xun kneeling at the front in plain clothes, Hu Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
Everything that had happened today had been caused by Xue Meng'er alone, so Hu Xiao was very dissatisfied. Seeing Xue'er still kneeling on the ground, his heart became more and more agitated, and his desire to hit her increased.
"Reporting to esteemed empress, chenqie came today to ask for forgiveness. I've offended many people yesterday, I hope esteemed wangfei can forgive me."
Xue Meng'er still had not raised her head, but her head was lowered as she spoke.
"Oh? Just because of this matter, you led all the consorts to cause an uproar in my private palace? "
Hu Xiao was truly infuriated. To be able to cause such a ruckus in the early morning at Yongning Palace just for this small matter, it was truly amazing.
Xue Meng'er looked at Hu Xiao in surprise when she heard this. Could it be that yesterday's matter was a small matter in Hu Xiao's eyes? Xue Meng'er suddenly felt that she was like a clown. She was leading the show on her own, but the main character was watching from the side.
"You guys are asking for forgiveness? What crime did you all ask for? "
"Chenqie's request for punishment is no different from Imperial Concubine Xue's."
Good, very good.
"I do not care about this matter at all. You have never been guilty, so quickly go and attend to your own affairs. I am also tired."
Hu Xiao didn't stand on ceremony when he heard this. He had been busy the entire morning with the matter of rotten grains and was simply being too childish.
Everyone had Xue Meng'er's thoughts at this moment. Yesterday, when His Majesty had sent off the thunder, they had ridiculed the empress, but the empress hadn't cared in the slightest.
"Zhilan, send everyone back."
Seeing this, Hu Xiaoxiao ignored the rest of the people, as he felt extremely upset.
