Chapter 55 Ancient Prostitution Emperor (Twenty-five)

Xiao E, the eldest princess of Huyang, had a private garden outside the city. The garden was planted with autumn chrysanthemums and the scenery was pleasant.At this time, she was sitting in a stone pavilion in the flower scene, having a banquet with the man opposite.This man was about in his early thirties. He was tall, mighty, and handsome. However, he had a faint anger between his brows and looked unapproachable.This person is none other than Jingzong’s seventh son, King Zhao Xiaoyun.

“Brother Seven, don’t just sit around drinking.” Xiao E said angrily, “Now the Queen Mother is choosing a queen for Brother Ninth. It seems that he is getting married.”

Xiao Yun placed the wine glass heavily on the table: “If you hadn’t sent someone to spread those rumors, how could Brother Ninth have acted like this?” He said dissatisfiedly, “I’ve said it before, any man who wants to take on that kind of title, even if he really can’t do it, has to establish a queen first to prove that he is not incompetent.”

“So what.” Xiao E played with her nails that were painted with red flowers. Her beautiful eyes were full of charm.The Xiao family are all very good-looking. Xiao E is already a mother of three children, and she is still very charming. She said softly, “After the election, we can fish in troubled waters. Don’t you want to sit in that position? Because of this little thing, you messed up. Brother Qi, don’t blame me for looking down on you.”

“Hmph.” Xiao Yun snorted coldly, “I’m just complaining.” But he was still worried, “Fourth sister, do you really want to launch it on the Qianqiu Festival?”

“You are not afraid, are you.” Xiao E frowned, “Now that everything is ready, all we need is the east wind. If we launch on the Qianqiu Festival, we can wipe out all the imperialists and queens. Don’t worry, I will send people to keep an eye on Brother Ninth and won’t let him cause trouble to you. As for the Queen Mother…” She smiled coldly, “You have to leave that woman’s life to me.”

Seeing the cruelty in her eyes, Xiao Yun couldn’t help but shudder secretly.It’s really amazing for a woman to be ruthless. Although he was the one who sat on the throne after the rebellion, he had to admit that his sister was actually the leading figure in the rebellion between him and Xiao E.

Soon, October is here.

Ye Xuan was busy choosing the emperor, and the palace was preparing for Xiao Ye’s Qianqiu. The whole Daming Palace was in a noisy mood.Although everything in the two palaces was business as usual in front of others, Ye Xuan and Xiao Ye had not spoken to each other for a long time.Xiao Ye came to greet Ye Xuan as usual. The two of them had a tacit understanding. One sat in the outer hall and the other sat in the inner room.After Xiao Ye drinks a cup of tea, he will leave silently.

Ye Xuan couldn’t sleep well all night long. Although it had only been a few months, she had become accustomed to being embraced by that broad and solid chest and leaning on his arms with peace of mind.After Xiao Ye left, Ye Xuan stared at the tea cup he left behind in a daze, looking at it all day long.The choice of the queen was about to be decided. Ye Xuan was hesitating between the daughter of Marquis Ningyuan and the daughter of the Zhou family of Nanyang. She thought that she was unable to make a decision because she couldn’t bear to part with it.

Xunxiang saw that she was in a trance and had lost a lot of weight. He couldn’t help but advise: “Queen Mother, if you feel unhappy, why not go to the other palace to relax.”

Ye Xuan sighed, “That’s fine.” She wouldn’t feel so uncomfortable if she didn’t have to face Xiao Ye every day.

Because she only went to stay in another palace for a few days and returned to the palace on the Qianqiu Festival, Ye Xuan drove lightly and left the city quickly.It was the height of autumn, and the mountains and fields outside the palace were covered with fiery red maple leaves.Ye Xuan stayed in the villa for six days. For some reason, she felt increasingly uneasy, as if something big was about to happen.

Originally, they planned to return to the palace the day before the Qianqiu Festival, but Ye Xuan felt that they could not stay any longer. She ordered Xunxiang to pack her things. Xunxiang was a little strange: “Queen Mother, didn’t you say you will return to the palace tomorrow?”

Before Ye Xuan answered, a small yellow door stumbled in from outside, and she knelt down in front of Ye Xuan with a plop: “Oh no, Queen Mother! News came from Beijing that King Zhao and Princess Huyang have rebelled and have surrounded the imperial city!”
