Slowly following Zhao Xi who came to deliver the order, they entered the palace. What caught the eyes of Concubine Liu Xian and her daughter were Emperor Sheng De sitting on the soft couch, Feng Xi kneeling on the soft cushion, and Qi sitting next to Feng Xi. Xiao.
Whether it was Feng Xi, who only had a white jade hairpin in her hair, or Qi Xiao, who was still wearing an official robe with a hint of bright red at the corner of her mouth, the casualness of the three people in front of her could be seen.
Compared with ordinary people who need to dress up carefully to see the beauty of the sky, for fear of being disrespectful...
To Feng Xi and Qi Xiao, this Yangxin Hall seems to be just a place where their elders live.
This made Concubine Liu Xian, who lowered her eyes and saluted, couldn't help but frown, and also made Feng Yunxuan quietly clench her hands.
In Concubine Liu Xian's memory, the relationship between their emperor and the Qi family had always been the best.
The head of the Qi family, Qi Yuanming, was his deceased brother. Although Mrs. Qi was not very affectionate towards him, she cared more about him than anyone else.
Both the eldest son and the second son of Qi studied under his knee, and he personally chose the title for his third son, Qi Xiao, which was very similar to the title of the direct princess Feng Xi.
Yes, it is full of blessings and love...
He valued Qi Xiao so much, how could he give up on her because of the silence of the Qi family and the rumors deliberately spread by Qi Yuanming?
Ever since the incident in which the princess whipped her consort in the street had passed, she had doubted the husband who had been under her nose more than once.
It is suspected that he asked Feng Xi to act crazy and act stupid, and he suspected that he asked Qi Xiao and Feng Xi to act together just to protect themselves from the turmoil in the past two years.
To this day, her suspicions seemed to be confirmed bit by bit, which made her feel very annoyed.
After all, she had been with that person for many years, so she just missed it once.
Compared to Concubine Liu Xian's annoyance, Feng Yunxuan had another concern in her heart.
She was looking at Feng Xi, the direct princess of Da Zhao, the titled princess, the protector princess...
A noble birth, a distinguished maternal family, a kind father, and a husband who is completely obedient to each other...
She felt that Feng Xi seemed to have everything and get everything effortlessly.
But she is also the emperor's daughter, but she has to disguise herself as a man, and has to deal with all kinds of people. The only person she wants can only watch from afar even if she has been planning for ten years.
She was unwilling to give in.
She has never been so unwilling...
"Tell me about it. You two came here at dusk, and you knelt down and confessed that you two were guilty. I want to hear what crime you two are guilty of."
Emperor Shengde had already adjusted his emotions when he decided to let Zhao Xi go out to invite people.
So at this moment, in the eyes of others, he is still the clear and majestic emperor, which makes people dare not look directly at him.
And how could Concubine Liu Xian let it go when she finally got the chance to speak?
So she immediately knocked her head to the ground and said with a slightly trembling voice:
"Your Majesty, I know that this move is to deceive the emperor. But at the beginning, I had no family to protect me, and I had no ability to resist others, so I had no choice but to be the one who deceived the emperor. But this is all because of my weakness. Incompetence has nothing to do with the fashionable and ignorant Yun Xuan..."
Hearing this, Emperor Sheng De frowned tightly and couldn't help but interrupt coldly:
"Concubine Liu Xian, what exactly do you want to say?"
Concubine Liu Xian was obviously shocked by Emperor Shengde's question, because although Emperor Shengde was an emperor, he had always been a good-tempered person.
Feng Xi, on the other hand, was not afraid of Emperor Sheng De's cold face at all, and answered without any pressure:
"That's it, keep it simple, keep the way you speak simple."
Emperor Sheng De: "..."
Good, his majesty is gone again.
Concubine Liu Xian was interrupted by Feng Xi, and her brewing sadness was a little stuck. She was silent for a while before she gritted her teeth with tears in her eyes and said:
"Your Majesty, Yunxuan is actually not a man, but a woman..."
Emperor Sheng De: "..."
He endured it again and again before turning his head to look at Feng Xi and saying, "Oh, that's it, I already know it."
Although he tried his best to show shock, he still seemed too calm compared to Liu Xianfei and Feng Yunxuan's psychological expectations.
Therefore, Concubine Liu Xian and her daughter, who were not very nervous at first, couldn't help but beat their hearts at this moment.
After all, there are only two reasons for a person to be very calm about one thing. One is that he doesn't care at all, and the other is that he is extremely angry.
Obviously, neither the first nor the second kind is a good thing for the mother and daughter.
What made them even more uneasy was that Feng Xi and Qi Xiao on the side were actually more calm than Emperor Sheng De. Feng Xi even said when they couldn't help but look over:
"The woman is fine, and the man is fine too. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me."
Concubine Liu Xian: "..."
Fengyunxuan: "..."
Very good, the mother and daughter, who are very insightful into people's hearts, felt that this person was not lying. She was really brainless and felt that this matter had nothing to do with her.
What about Qi Xiao?
As if he was unaware of their gazes, Qi Xiao did not look at them. Instead, he raised his hand and grabbed Feng Xi's wrist, forcing her to look at the corner of his mouth and said:
"Little Phoenix, it hurts."
"No, you don't feel any pain."
Qi Xiao: "..."
A pair of peach blossom eyes are slightly drooped. Qi Xiao, who is used to pretending to be pitiful in front of Feng Xi, grasps the essence in almost a second, and plays the role of being weak, pitiful and helpless just right.
Very good, this is the green tea that made him become a spirit.
But the strange thing is that this green tea essence looks so good that Feng Xi can't ignore it.
So Feng Xi turned her head and said to Emperor Sheng De on the soft couch:
"Father, you can hit him, but next time you can hit him when he is not around, and then use a more skillful technique to achieve the kind of effect that you hit but didn't hit him completely, and you can't pretend to be pitiful anyway."
Emperor Shengde: "?"
It’s over, my fists are hardened, and now I not only want to hit my son-in-law, but my daughter also wants to hit him too!
On the other hand, Qi Xiao's lips curled up slightly, and he was immediately amused by Feng Xi's strange request and the livid expression on his father-in-law's face.
But the arc of the smile seemed a bit wide, so much so that the wound at the corner of his mouth began to ooze blood again.
No longer pretending, but looking even more pitiful.
Feng Xi: "...Hey, men are troublesome."
While Feng Xi was speechless, Zhao Xi, who was very good at getting things done, had already ordered the eunuchs to get the medicinal solution and Bai Yi's special cotton swabs, and respectfully handed them to Feng Xi.
Feng Xi lowered her eyes and glanced at the cotton swab that she casually mentioned but was made and used by Bai Yi. Feng Xi finally reluctantly picked it up.
"Okay, stop howling, why don't I give you some medicine?"
Qi Xiao thinks it works, very well.
But looking at the indifferent atmosphere of Feng Xi, Qi Xiao, and Emperor Sheng De, Concubine Liu Xian and her daughter, who had just revealed one of their biggest secrets, had gloomy expressions.
Fortunately, although Emperor Shengde was interrupted twice by his unlucky daughter, he did not forget Concubine Liu Xian after all, and soon said coldly:
"Since you have confessed that Yunxuan is a girl, shouldn't you also tell me why you have deceived me all these years?"
