Chapter 167 Beat the dog to see the owner

"In those years, the mourning family was just a concubine, but there were already two of you brothers under my knees. At that time, I was not strong. Qingxiao was raised by the queen, and the mother and son were estranged. Even if they met, they were just the same as passers-by. Later, it was not until I had you that the mourning family gradually turned their eyes to you, and the late emperor died. At that time, he once said that he wanted to pass the throne to Qingxiao. At that time, I didn't know whether it was a ghost or something. They actually said directly that they would pass the throne to you, but at that time, the family did not know that Qingxiao was in the hall.

After saying that, the Empress Dowager sighed. This incident in those years was really all her fault. If she hadn't protected her son, how could she cause such alienation between the two brothers now? Fortunately, Li Qingyu did not care about the throne, which avoided the tragic situation of his two sons competing for the throne.

"Mother, the responsibility is not on you. Things have passed for so long, and the royal brother may have forgotten it long ago." Li Qingyu comforted.

The Empress Dowager shook her head. From the conversation just now, she already saw that Li Qingxiao did not forget what had happened in those years. Instead, she had been hidden in her heart. Li Qingxiao was not like Li Qingyu. His mind was very deep. She couldn't guess what he was thinking at all, but one thing she knew that he was retaliated against Li Qingyu. He was afraid. Li Qingyu will seize his throne in the future.

It is said that the emperor is ruthless, whether it is family affection or love, I'm afraid he can be ruthless.

"I just told the emperor that he didn't give any affection. He must let you go to the border. The Ai family really can't bear to part with you." The Empress Dowager sighed and grabbed Li Qingyu's hand tightly and said.

"The border pass is under my son's response. If I can go to the border gate this time in exchange for the sullenness in my brother's heart, my son's son is willing to go." Li Qingyu said word by word.

"It's just that you are suffering."

The night was very dark, and the lamp was still lit in Yuxia Palace. There were two little maids kneeling in the inner hall, trembling with fear, while Yao Yujiao sat on the soft couch beside her and squinted at them.

"You really have the courage to eat leopards and dare to speak ill of me behind my back. Are you really easy to bully me?" Yao Yujiao threw the hot tea in her hand to the ground, and the hot tea splashed on the two maids. The maids did not dare to come out, but their bodies trembled and no longer moved.

"The Jade Concubine is talking to you. You are good and pretend to be mute, right?" Bier asked angrily.

The two little maids then reacted and hurriedly climbed in front of Yao Yujiao. Their faces had long been full of tears and kept begging for mercy.

"Yufei's atonement, we are all unintentional and don't want to offend Yufei."

Originally, Yao Yujiao saw that the weather was very good today, so she went to the Royal Garden to enjoy the flowers. Unexpectedly, she happened to bump into the two maids of honor hiding in the rockery and said ill of her. Originally, she just wanted to give them a small punishment and a lesson, but later she learned that the two were actually the maids of honor in Xiao Shufei's outer hall and caught this. How could she spare them by chance? It's just that they followed the wrong master.

"How do you want to offend the Empress? How long are your mouths? Is it in repair? Bier shouted indefatigablely.

Yao Yujiao just looked at the two of them quietly on the bed, without even a trace of temperature in her eyes.

"Bier, I'm tired. Take the two of them down. Remember, I don't see anyone in this palace." Yao Yujiao smiled faintly and then walked away directly.

Bier winced at the little eunuch next to her, and the little eunuch took the two maids out.

In the Fengyuan Hall, Xiao Shufei stared at Yao Yulu, who just came in with an angry face. Yao Yulu did not pay much attention to her. After inviting the queen, she sat aside.

"Yao Guiren, I heard that you dance very well, and the emperor is even more obsessed with your dance. There are so many versatile people in the palace." Xiao Shufei took a sip of tea and said.

Yao Yulu glanced at Xiao Shufei and couldn't understand what she wanted to say, so she could only smile modestly.

"My concubine is just a little good at it."

"Ha ha, how can a woman in the palace do without one or two talents? At that time, it will not be forgotten by the emperor, but there is one thing that I have always wanted to know that Yufei is also good at dancing. I don't know which of you two sisters is more beautiful? Xiao Shufei gently glanced at Yao Yulu and asked.

Yao Yulu frowned before she wanted to open her mouth, but was interrupted by the sound at the door. Yao Yujiao stood outside the door, and Xiao Shufei's words just now also happened to let her listen to it all. It should have been yesterday, which made her unhappy. Seeing that she hadn't come yet, she made it difficult for Yao Yulu.

"The two sisters are good at dancing. Let's not talk about who is good or bad, let's talk about Xiao Shufei. You don't seem to be good at anything, right? Oh, how can I forget that Xiao Shufei used to be just a maid of honor, just a waiter every day. Is there free time to learn these? Look at me, I quickly uncovered Xiao Shufei's scar. It's Yujiao's fault. Although Yao Yujiao said it was her fault, her eyes did not mean to apologize at all.

Xiao Shufei usually hates others for talking about her origin, and Yao Yujiao suddenly threw the teacup on the table with an angry face.

"Yufei, you are just so arrogant when you are favored for a while. I don't know what kind of scene it will be after you fall out of favor in the future. I'm afraid that the sisterhood you and I see today will just be just a floating cloud on that day." Xiao Shufei retorted.

Yao Yujiao smiled coldly, "Princess Xiao must have tasted this to warn my concubine, right?" My concubine is not as mean as Xiao Shufei. At that time, I'm afraid that I won't encounter the situation that Xiao Shufei said.

"Well, at least I'm a higher than you. You are a concubine, but you have been spoiled for a few days, but you don't pay attention to me and say that I'm mean. Do you really think I'm easy to bully?" Xiao Shufei scolded angrily.

"They are all sisters. Every time you come to say hello, it's such a noise. Each of you should say less. It's important to think about how to serve the emperor well." The queen said in a timely speech.

The two of them hummed coldly and turned around and didn't look at anyone.

Yao Yujiao smiled secretly. Today, Xiao Shufei did this because she punished the maid of honor in the outer palace yesterday, but she is in a good mood now.

"Today, tributes have been sent from all over the country. Sisters, try it." The queen said with a smile.

There was a plate of lychee on everyone's table, and the lychee was still cold and looked delicious. Everyone sat for a while before leaving.

Outside the hall, Xiao Shufei walked aside. It happened that Yao Yujiao came over. She stopped and looked at Yao Yujiao. Yao Yujiao stood in front of her with a smile on the corners of her mouth, knowing that she must have something to say, and it must be for the matter of the two maids.

"Yao Yujiao, you still need to look at the owner to beat the dog. If you beat the maid of honor in the outer palace like that, why do you have to give me an explanation?" Xiao Shufei asked sharply.

"Are those two maids of honor from Xiao Shufei? The concubine really didn't know. Yesterday, they spoke rudely to the concubine. If the concubine didn't ask for their dog's life, it was a blessing for them. The concubine didn't know what was wrong there. The concubine still had something to do, so she left first. Yao Yujiao was too lazy to fight with Xiao Shufei and turned around and left.

Xiao Shufei gritted her teeth and stared at Yao Yujiao's back and held her hands tightly together.

"This Yao Yujiao is really too much!" Concubine Jin said side by the side.

"Why didn't I see you talking just now?" Xiao Shufei opened her mouth coldly, and her tone was very cold. It seemed that she was really going to take action. Yao Yujiao became more and more arrogant and didn't pay attention to her. Then let's have a good fight.

"I'm a concubine, I'm clumsy." Concubine Jin said with a red face.

Xiao Shufei looked at her disdainfully and sighed slightly, a little helpless, but such a person is better used.
