Chapter 170: Going All Out

Translator: 549690339

Noble Consort Liu also knew that she might not be liked by the Empress Dowager, but she wanted to be liked by the Emperor. Even if she could not go to the Empress Dowager, she had to be careful to please her.

The Emperor’s filial piety was also a huge burden to her.

Fortunately, Noble Consort Liu had a skill that Empress Wang did not have.

The noble daughters of the royal family of the Empress Wang were very disciplined in their words and actions, but Liu Guifei was free of herself. She loved to listen to the short words of the parents of the East and the West. She also loved to say that in the Empress Dowager’s palace, she loved to pass on these family’s short words.

The Empress Dowager liked to hear it, and Noble Consort Liu liked to talk about it. The two of them were very harmonious in this aspect.

They were complaining and craving for each other. This was the kind of relationship that they had with each other.

It was a pity that Princess Anji was the one who had connections outside. Now that Princess Anji had gone to become a nun, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had lost their sources of connections. They immediately felt that they were blocked.

However, Imperial Concubine Liu had a channel that the Empress Dowager did not have, and that was to hear about the privacy of each family from Emperor Yu Heng. Imperial Concubine Liu was especially interested in the back residence, so she turned around and told the Empress Dowager.

Imperial Concubine Liu had heard about the marriage between the Xie family and the Xiao family from Emperor Yuheng.

At that time, her heart was alive again.

Originally, she wanted to marry Sikong Xiao by marriage, and marry her Xuancheng, who was led astray by Xiao Baoxin, into the Xiao family. In the end, the Xiao family actually married the Xie family, which was equivalent to only liking a handsome man. In the end, after asking around, she found out that the handsome man’s family background was also very good, so she was so happy.

However, Imperial Concubine Liu kept it to herself and thought that she would bring it up with the Emperor after the storm had passed.

Before she could mention it, she heard that the Xie family and the Xiao family were not on good terms. The Xie family wanted to invite the clan leader to the Xie residence to uphold justice, but in the end, the Xie family’s Old Madam Xiao suppressed it. The twists and turns were ups and downs…

Even the Empress Dowager was fascinated by his words.

Lady Xiao had once again caught Princess Xuancheng’s eye. The Empress Dowager wanted to see her for herself, so she called Xiao Baoxin over as soon as she arrived at Waguan Temple. It was not the first time she had seen the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, but she had never seen her as carefully as this time.

“He is handsome.” Empress Dowager Pan clicked her tongue and sighed.

Although the Empress Dowager was born into a poor family, she was born in an environment where there were many aristocratic families. She naturally had a kind of resistance towards aristocratic families, and…Respect. Although she was the Empress Dowager, she had lived a cautious life in the past. Even after she became the Empress Dowager, the Pan family had been criticized a lot.

Especially when Pan Shuo was a hothead and was looked down upon by the aristocratic families. He turned around and complained to Empress Dowager Pan, who then turned around and complained to Emperor Epsilon.

Emperor Yu Heng, who could he complain to? Aristocratic families were so arrogant. Could it be that you could punish them for being rude to others? He had a big family business, and he had to endure a lot of anger for so many years, not to mention Pan Shuo, that hothead. He could only turn around and scold Pan Shuo, telling him not to bother the Empress Dowager for no reason.

As a result, although Empress Dowager Pan was dissatisfied with the noble families, she had also experienced the power of the noble families.

The Xiao family and the Xie family were obviously the ones who had a big advantage.

At the very least, the Xie family was a top-notch family, and Xie Xian was the youngest and most capable confidant of the Emperor. If not for the age difference, she would have wanted to make the decision to give Xie Xian to Xuan City.

Angie had married before, and Xie Xian didn’t want her, so she understood. Xuancheng…She was good in every way and was also beautiful. It was just that she was too, too, too small.

“Yes, I’ve never seen such a handsome child.”Imperial Concubine Liu couldn’t help but praise as she supported the Empress Dowager and admired the scenery. “1 heard that Eldest Lady Xiao has a younger brother. He must also be this handsome, right?”

Not only was Xiao Baoxin secretly shocked by Noble Consort Liu’s exposed thoughts, but even Empress Wang couldn’t help but look up at Noble Consort Liu. It was obvious that she was also interested.

“Noble Consort, praise me, my daughter’s brother…She was untalented and unskilled, but her appearance was still passable.”

Xiao Baoshu, who was far away from the Xiao Manor and was ignorant and incompetent, was discussing his academic experience with his new mason master…

Why was his appearance still acceptable in her eyes? It was an honor!

Noble Consort Liu:” Then I must meet him. I’ve only heard of his name before, but I’ve never seen him.”He turned around and started chatting with the Empress Dowager about how Xiao Baoshu had fought with someone for a new fortune-teller and was beaten up until he fled like a rat.

Empress Dowager Pan sighed,”This child is so righteous.””

Empress Wang was speechless.

Xiao Baoxin thought,[Empress Dowager Pan’s brain is so clear and strange. She is indeed Pan Shuo’s aunt. She has a god-like aesthetic distortion like Pan Shuo.]

Anyone could tell that Xiao Baoxin wasn’t very enthusiastic about Noble Consort Liu mentioning her brother.

If it were anyone else, perhaps they would think that Xiao Baoxin was an idiot who couldn’t hear the meaning of Imperial Consort Liu’s closeness, but Empress Wang had personally dealt with the matter of Lady Yin falsely accusing Xiao Baoxin of poisoning Yuan Jiuniang.

At that time, Xiao Baoxin was so forceful that Madam Yin almost fainted from anger. He was reasonable, restrained, brave, and fierce. He was definitely not just arrogant and despotic as the rumors said. He was shrewd. She didn’t agree because she really didn’t want to be the one.

Empress Wang was still satisfied with Xiao Baoxin’s attitude. It was just that Noble Consort Liu was becoming more and more arrogant in the palace, digging up a hole to find a powerful marriage for Xin ‘an King as a backer. Previously, she had taken a fancy to Xiao Baoxin, but he didn’t do it. Did she think that she didn’t know?

Now, seeing that Xiao Baoxin had no chance, and that he had taken a fancy to the Xiao Family’s young master, he had his eyes on the Xiao Family and did not want to vent his anger. What was he trying to do?

Everyone knew that Sikong Xiao held military power. He was an idle prince and not the Crown Prince, but he always wanted to marry someone who had military power. Who would believe that they had no other intentions?

Previously, he had wanted to build a relationship with the Eldest Princess and marry the Sixth Lady of the Xu family. In the end, after the incident with Princess Anji, even Imperial Consort Liu and the Empress Dowager were angry with the Eldest Princess. The marriage with the Xu family was left unsettled.

It could be said that for the sake of Xin ‘an King, Imperial Concubine Liu had gone all out.

“It has been two months since we last met at Jiaofang Palace.”Empress Wang smiled brightly.” At that time, 1 even said that I wanted to give you a good look and pick out an outstanding one from the Wang family’s nephews. Who knew that in such a short time, the Xiao and Xie families had already become good friends with two surnames. It’s my Wang family that isn’t so lucky.”

As he said that, he took off a red agate bracelet with eighteen arhats engraved on it and put it on Xiao Baoxin.

“The emperor recently got this for me. I love a little lady like you who clearly differentiate between gratitude and hatred. 1 hope that you can take care of your husband and children in the future and live a happy life.”

Xiao Baoxin was flattered. Empress Wang and Noble Consort Liu’s fight had benefited her.

Before he could express his gratitude, Imperial Concubine Liu clicked her tongue and said unhappily,””That was the emperor’s reward, the niangniang is not cherishing it too much.”

What he meant was that if it was given to me, I would definitely cherish it and despise the Empress for giving away the things the Emperor gave to others.

The queen of the king smiled and said,”The emperor is separated from the three forks. The king is sent to the palace. If I am all received, the treasury is not under.” It’s just that I’ll give it to any girl who likes it and likes it. It’s better than letting them wear it in my hands and not knowing where to put it until it never sees the light of day.”

“Then it’s my fault.” Noble Consort Liu smiled.” I heard what the Empress said just now and thought it was a rare item. It turns out that it’s just something the Emperor can casually reward and the Empress can casually wear.”

Before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Baoxin felt that the Empress’s cold gaze was about to freeze..
