Travel To The World Of Ca Li
Wei Guifei's
Xiu Qixuan heard that dignified voice quietly. Instead, he chose to circulate a cold gaze staring intently at Chu Yu and Xiu Yue who were standing beside the owner of the dignified voice.
They stand firmly with etiquette to give a special ceremonial impression.
In this reading room, previously there were only four people who had intense conversations. And, it was now increasing by one because of Xiu Qixuan who had suddenly barged in by accident.
Both of Xiu Yue's eyeballs shot up as he felt a chill piercing through his body. He smiled back coldly by frowning a strangely implied look at Xiu Qixuan.
'That damn boy!.' Xiu Qixuan growled in annoyed minds when he realized that it was they who deliberately brought this one high-status figure who was out of nowhere.
However, there had been a difference from Xiu Yue since the last time they met. The girl became more mature with black hair that was completely rolled up leaving not a single strand that decomposed to be tied by jade sandalwood jewelry as well as golden hairpins.
On his forehead is a five-petal lotus flower sign indicating married status.
'Wait, that means this brat is married?' Xiu Qixuan's eyes twitched slightly. He was a little surprised to not know the information.
"Guifei niang. Yue'er excuse me for greeting Biaojie." Xiu Yue said cleverly asking for permission with a beautiful smile to give more of a deep impression.
He looked at Xiu Qixuan who was staring flat at her forehead which was drawn by a five-petal lotus. Xiu Yue's eyes quickly exuded a prideful pride.
Wei Guifei was one of the emperor's many concubines. She comes from the Wei Residence which is quite prestigious and very beautiful. Wei Guifei stood very firmly in the Palace thanks to the contribution of his son, the Fifth Prince, who was so appreciated by the Emperor. Wei Guifei also gave birth to a beloved little princess of the Emperor who was twelve years old at this time.
Wei Guifei's laughter sounded subtly praised; "Yue'er was very polite. Even though you didn't receive enough education due to living on the border, but, you have decent basic etiquette." the sharp-eyed phoenix took a quick glance at Xiu Haocun and Xiu Qixuan.
It was clear that his words were addressed to Xiu Qixuan who did not show any basic etiquette from the start.
Xiu Yue chuckled gracefully in response; "Thank you niang niang, Yue'er will pay more attention."
Xiu Yue then walked a few steps toward Xiu Qixuan and bowed gracefully; "Duringly do not meet, Biaojie. Yue'er wondered where you were going because she missed thinking about your health condition."
Xiu Qixuan's eyes let out a lazy twitch of humor; "Yes, Yue'er meimei. So attentive as always" he said indifferently.
After that Xiu Qixuan took a step forward to greet Wei Guifei ceremonially and pretend to express her regret; "This imperial subject princess greets Wei Guifei niang niang. Please niang niang generously forgive the ignorance of this subject."
Xiu Haocun's face darkened even more when he saw the princess disregarding his words to return.
Xiu Qixuan walked over with a stiff smile. Wei Guifei gently pulled her to sit next to the chair. "You're almost past the age to get married. By this time, you might already be having trouble getting engaged." He said with attentive intention.
Xiu Qixuan's gaze focused on Xiu Haocun's depressed gloomy face.
Wei Guifei's smile became softer, he cupped Xiu Qixuan's hand and said; "But, don't worry. The decree of His Majesty the Emperor may be coming soon, specifically to use you in the selection of the prince's empress."
Xiu Qixuan frowned slightly, but, she regained her composure and moved then bowed to say straightforwardly; "Xuan'er isn't in a hurry. Being too affectionate towards father and gege, Xuan'er only had the purpose of living to be filial in return for heaven."
The instant Wei Guifei's face turned dark, a sharp glint flashed across his eyes. "Foolish girl, you should pay better attention to yourself. I just said a few things like this because I care. You will definitely enter the Palace for the election, but, don't worry, this old man is willing to take care of you." Wei Guifei gathered his expression back to normal in an instant.
A pressure-filled light flashed as he glanced fully at Xiu Haocun. "The Xiu Family's relationship with the Empire will grow even tighter. Isn't that right, General?"
Xiu Haocun took a sharp breath, but, he remained calm and said in a heavier voice; "Guifei niang niang. This should—" paused.
"Wei Guifei niang - niang." Xiu Qixuan's clear voice suddenly sounded but her cold glittering eyes emitted a thick radiance of hostility. "Xuan'er is stupid and doesn't understand. But one thing, right now you are coming here in haste before the imperial invitation decree that has not yet arrived at the Xiu Residence." He said subtly and so straightforwardly hurled an attack to some fatal point.
Then Xiu Qixuan's eyes glazed over and put on a plain face as if she was indeed so agitated as well as worried; "Isn't this the same as you ahead of your own interests instead of the Emperor's orders? What if the Emperor knew this and was so angry? Are we all going to be hanged?"
The expressions of everyone in the room froze when they heard his words.
But, Xiu Qixuan pretended not to know. He ran towards his father to urge and whisper in a loud voice in order to be heard by all of them; "How is this father? Should we wait for niang niang to return to the Mayor's Residence?"
It was clear that he was so ingenious in issuing attacks through his words that meant sharp.
Wei Guifei gave a strange grin. He did not expect that Xiu Qixuan turned out to be more attractive than his imagination and bad rumors were circulating. He was increasingly convinced that this cunning girl and not an easy-to-fall opponent was a perfect fit for his son.
Xiu Haocun's body froze when he saw Wei Guifei's more radiant gaze than before. He clearly understood that now Wei Guifei already had more confidence after seeing directly Xiu Qixuan.
Xiu Haocun turned a cold face with the echo of a sharply heavy voice, "Hi Bing!" He called the adjutant.
Without a long time, a person in his thirties came up with a sword that never came off hanging on his belt. He greeted the highest first according to etiquette and then immediately came to the master.
The dark face of Xiu Haocun reigned; "Lock the Great Miss in the ancestral hall to contemplate herself for a hundred days."
