As expected, although the boy didn't know how to laugh, Zhao Qiyan had seen him before.

Now that he saw Zhao Qiyan, he was scared of the famous general on the battlefield, especially when he heard that the woman who had spoken to him was the Eastern Court's empress. The doorman was scared out of his wits.

"What? General Zhao has already acknowledged me, yet you, a mere doorman, actually want to let me into this Wen Mansion?"

Seeing the frightened look on the boy's face, Hu Xiaoxiao was overjoyed. Zhao Qiyan was indeed a good person. At the very least, she could put up a front, even if she was already a queen.

"Esteemed Empress, please come in. This lowly one has eyes but did not recognize the baht. Please forgive me."

The boy hurriedly said after hearing Hu Xiao's words. His flustered movements made it seem as if there were hundreds of dogs chasing after him.

"Yes."

Seeing the child step aside, he didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt towards the abuse of his empress status.

The boy led Hu Xiaoxiao into the room. No matter how high the position of Minister Wen was, he was no bigger than the queen of a group of people. He did not feel the slightest sense of guilt towards his master.

Hu Xiao and the others followed after him.

"Who's making a ruckus here?"

At this moment, Fu Chen was planning to head over to Mister Mo Zhu's residence. Seeing the food market bustling in front of his house, he could not help but feel discontented.

When he caught a glimpse of Hu Xiaowen, Fu Chen was momentarily unable to recognize him. However, when he saw the girl following behind the boy, he felt that she was a servant bought by the mansion.

"Hmm? Scholar Fu Chen? "

Hu Xiao had never seen Wen Fu put on an act like this before, but he did have a somewhat scholarly look. He could not help but pout his lips.

"How dare you, you lowly servant, call me by my full name! Who gave you the guts?"

The tone of the woman's voice sounded familiar to Fu Cheng, but he did not ponder over it too deeply. When he heard Hu Xiaoxiao speak his name, Fu Chen felt that this woman had offended him.

"Hmm? Who gave you the guts to call me a lowly slave? Isn't it that he doesn't put His Majesty in his eyes? "

Hu Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at Fu Chen, only to realize that Fu Chen did not recognize him? How dare he call her a lowly maid? Although he had long since heard the words of the Venerable Scholar, he was still furious.

"Hmm? "This palace?"

Hearing Hu Xiao's voice, Wen Fu Chen felt that it was extremely strange. As he passed the boy and stared fixedly at Hu Xiao, he finally realized that the person before him was the person he was looking for.

"Empress!"

The young boy thought that Zhao Qiyan and Hu Xiaoxiao had deceived him. Looking at Fu Chen laughing at him, he felt uneasy as he looked at Fu Chen, afraid that he would be displeased with him. However, the young boy heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Fu Chen's next words.

Hu Xiao looked at Fu Chen with a smile on his face. Fu Cheng actually recognized him, so Hu Xiao was no longer afraid.

"What is it? When Minister Wen saw me, he was very surprised? "

Fu Chen's surprised expression was clear as he chuckled. He had heard Zhao Qiyan's words on his way back to the palace. Even she herself was surprised, let alone the Fu Chen.

"This official only feels that the empress should not appear here. After all, from the way this official and the empress get along, it doesn't seem too good."

When Hu Xiao heard this, the smile on his face grew brighter and brighter. Seeing Hu Xiao's smile, Fu Cheng felt his heart tighten. He felt that Hu Xiao's smile seemed to contain a conspiracy.

"To think that the Minister of Arts would have such an awareness. He even knows that he has a bad relationship with me?"

"What is the empress saying? Since the empress is a noble empress, this official is only using a subject. Where did the relationship come from?"

Fu Cheng felt that he had already been surrounded by Hu Xiaoxiao. However, he was unable to ignore Hu Xiaoxiao's words. He felt extremely depressed in his heart.

"Since Minister Wen knows that it has nothing to do with me, then I am completely unrelated to him. Since that is the case, how could Minister Wen be so concerned with my personal matters?"

Seeing the menacing Zhao Qiyan behind Hu Xiao, Fu Chen assumed Hu Xiao must have come with the same thoughts as him, so he thought about this detour and relaxed a little. Since he knew the purpose of Hu Xiaoxiao's visit, he naturally had a plan to deal with him.

After all, this was a courtesy highly valued by His Majesty. If he did not give up, His Majesty would reconsider his decision. As for laughing at the empress, he would not dare to do anything to him.

"Does the empress mean that she will place this lowly official in a place of disloyalty and injustice? "As an official in the East Court, I am a court official. As the empress, if certain actions of the empress endanger the safety of the East Court, then I will naturally be in charge of them."

Scholar Fu felt that he was a man of vast knowledge. If he could defeat a mere girl like Hu Xiaoxiao, then wouldn't it be embarrassing for him to be a courtier in the Eastern Courtyard?

"The speed at which Minister Wen changed his expression and the way he spoke is something that I am ashamed of. Since that is the case, I do not like to twist and turn my body in a manner similar to talking. I prefer to come directly."

His head was already dizzy, and he was still talking to the scholar. He had already become impatient and had become even more so. He thought that a sour scholar like Wen Fu Chen should not be so rational with the scholar.

As Hu Xiao thought of this, he suddenly rushed towards Fu Chen. In that instant, Hu Xiao used his strength to lift Fu Chen's collar.

The surrounding attendants were stunned by the laughter. They had actually forgotten to save their own master. They stood to the side like wooden chickens.

Fu Cheng had never been treated like this by a woman before. He was a dignified seven foot man, yet he was easily lifted up by a weak woman. Fu Cheng felt that he had lost even more face than the last time he was beaten up by Hu Xiaoxiao.

"What is the empress doing?" Quickly put this lowly official down. This is disrespectful! General Zhao! General Zhao! Does General Zhao intend to turn a blind eye? "

When Fu Cheng saw Zhao Qiyan standing behind Hu Xiao, completely unfazed, he was infuriated. He had not expected Zhao Qiyan to suffer so many times in the hands of Hu Xiaoxiao.

Zhao Qiyan had naturally heard Wen Fu Chen's cry for help, but he did not want to rescue Wen Fu Chen. He was used to the high and mighty attitude of Fu Chen, and now that he was able to see Hu Xiao teaching Wen Fu and Fu Chen a lesson, he definitely chose to ignore him. Moreover, he could not beat Hu Xiao.

When the manservant heard about the quarrel between Hu Xiao and Zhao Qiyan, he knew that it was the Eastern Courtyard Queen. Both sides were rich and powerful, and they were the kind of people a manservant could offend.
