The Imperial Concubine smiled. "She often doesn't speak sincerely."
Imperial Concubine purposely spoke about her, not who it was. There was some ambiguity in her words, but she did it on purpose.
The woman let out a cold snort and turned her head away.
Xiao Xiao also returned to her seat and sat down.
She suddenly reminisced about her days in the Prince Mo’s Manor.
Although she would be bullied in the Prince Mo’s Manor, everyone was a slave in the end, and there wouldn't be such a large gap between them.
The enormous hall was deathly silent for a moment.
"Why is it so quiet."
A deep male voice rang out, jolting the imperial concubines.
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
Xiao Xiao quickly knelt down following the crowd.
The emperor walked past her and sat down at the seat of honor. Someone had brought another chair for the imperial concubine to sit on.
The emperor smiled as she looked at the crowd. "It's usually very lively when I see all the concubines. Why is it so quiet today?"
The Imperial Concubine laughed: "Everyone is listening to Little Beauty talk about some interesting things that happened outside the palace."
The Emperor looked at Xiao Xiao, "Oh? What did Little Beauty say? "
Xiao Xiao's palace maid's palms were covered with sweat. She was afraid that Xiao Xiao would say something that she shouldn't have.
Even though Xiao Xiao was born with a lowly background, she understood that the saying "long lifespan isn't long" wasn't something she could bear with either.
"Actually, she didn't say anything. This sister said something about the Emperor, and when the I heard it, it was rare."
Xiao Xiao pointed to the beauty.
She didn't know the rules, but they did, so she told them to let it be. Anyway, these people loved to talk about it.
The emperor looked at the beauty. "Oh?"
When the beauty saw the emperor's gaze on her, she immediately revealed a smile that she thought was very beautiful.
"Your majesty, the Little Beauty said that her family is very poor and doesn't even have new clothes. When I saw the emperor, she was still wearing someone else's tattered clothes, and when the I heard this, her heart ached. She wanted to go back to find some new clothes that she didn't wear to send to the Little Beauty."
The emperor's smile didn't lessen when she heard this. That smile didn't reach her eyes as she said faintly, "Could it be that I can't even afford to give a beauty to two new outfits?"
That beauty originally relied on the emperor's fondness and was protected by her family at home. She didn't pay much attention to her face and thought the emperor was joking with her. She coquettishly turned around.
"The Emperor is laughing at the I now. These small matters were originally something the I should think about for the Emperor in order to prevent the Emperor from distracting and exhausting himself."
The emperor turned his face to look at the imperial concubine.
"Imperial Concubine is also slacking now. If you feel that the harem is too troublesome, I can send someone to help you."
The imperial concubine cursed the beauty a few times in her heart. She was courting death, so why spare her? Yet, her expression didn't change.
"It's rare that little sister has this kind of warmth in her heart, so it wouldn't be good for I to reject you. Actually, I had long prepared some rewards for Little Beauty, and planned to send them over to little sister after asking the emperor to look them over."
When the emperor heard this, his expression eased up. "In the end, it's still better for you to take care of things."
When the beauty heard this, she understood that the emperor wasn't joking with her. Her face immediately turned pale.
"Your Majesty …" She wanted to say something else.
The Emperor, however, gave her a nonchalant look.
"You've been doing so little and talking so much lately that it's really annoying. Go back and copy five hundred copies of the Diamond Sutra."
This was punishing her.
The beauty felt wronged. What did she say? She clearly didn't say anything, okay?
What a disaster.
"Your Majesty, I …" She pouted, trying to make the emperor's heart soften by acting coquettishly.
"Six hundred times." The Emperor said indifferently.
The beauty couldn't take it anymore.
"Why? I doesn't think he said anything wrong. Could it be that I is also wrong to take care of His Majesty's new little sister in the palace?"
So what if she had evil intentions? At the very least, on the surface, she did indeed seem to care about Xiao Xiao.
The emperor looked at the beauty without a single ripple in his eyes.
He was truly a reckless person. As for the matters of the royal family, how could he allow others to talk about it behind his back?
The Emperor knew that there were actually many people discussing this matter, not just within the palace, but outside as well.
Since he met her today, he would kill the chicken for the monkey to see.
"When we were secretly interviewing her, she fell into the lotus pond. Miss Mo Mo did not avoid the suspicion and came to our rescue. We once asked Miss Mo Mo about her wish, but she did not accept the credit. Her character is truly priceless."
The Imperial Concubine continued, "The Emperor should have told I long ago that this person saved the Emperor and saved the I. The I should have prepared a great gift in order to thank him."
The emperor praised the imperial concubine before turning around to face the beauty. "How could a person like Miss Mo Mo be understood by a person like you? How could you insult my benefactor?"
When Xiao Xiao heard the Emperor's words, her tears rolled in her eyes. She did not dare say anything, but nodded her head repeatedly.
When the emperor saw this, he could not help but laugh. "Why are you like a nodding bug?"
Xiao Xiao said in embarrassment, "I thinks that the Emperor's words are good."
The emperor helplessly shook his head. This Xiao Xiao, was really simple and cute. She obviously didn't say anything, but the emperor felt that it was very enjoyable.
"Come over to the imperial concubine's later. See if there's anything you like." The Emperor smiled.
The imperial concubine's expression stiffened. "It's against the rules of the emperor."
The emperor waved his hand. "This emperor will do whatever he says. The rules aren't always set by the people."
The main reason was because he wanted to support Xiao Xiao today. Didn't these people look down on Xiao Xiao? He lifted her.
When the Imperial Consort heard this, she quickly adjusted her mood and the corners of her mouth curved upwards.
"Yes, when I get back, I will definitely help little sister pick some good stuff."
As a servant who came from a different world, she would definitely like that kind of vulgar gold and silver. At that time, she would choose a few more of these for Xiao Xiao.
How could the emperor not know what the imperial concubine was thinking? She glanced at the imperial concubine and said, "I remember that there are still two brocades in the internal palace that are suitable for the Little Beauty. Take them out and send them to the Little Beauty."
Xiao Xiao's eyes were filled with love, she waved her hand: "Your majesty, you have already bestowed me with many good things, it's enough."
The Emperor smiled and took her hand. "Is that so? "Why do I feel like I haven't given you anything yet?"
Xiao Xiao looked at the emperor seriously. "Why isn't there one? The Emperor gave Xiao Xiao such a huge courtyard, and even gave him so many palace maids, as well as a lot of things.
The emperor looked at her dotingly. "Really?" "Did I really treat you well?"
Xiao Xiao nodded heavily.
"The Emperor seems to be deep in thought." But I feel that it's not good enough for you. "
Originally, the emperor didn't have anything to do with Xiao Xiao. But who knew that not only did Xiao Xiao make him feel new, even her personality was very pleasing to others. When the emperor was together with her, he felt especially relaxed.
Originally, he really thought that Du Jinse had come over wearing damaged clothes, but only when he got closer to Xiao Xiao to talk, did he realize that it wasn't Du Jinse.
