In the past, the two of them would either be competing with each other or just laughing and chasing each other away. It had been a long time since they had been together in such a peaceful manner.

"Zhilan is already prepared."

As he spoke, he carelessly rubbed his head.

"Is there a headache? I never thought that the unreasonable empress would have such a surprising tolerance for alcohol. "

Hu Xiao looked at Qin Shuo in shock, never knowing when Qin Shuo became so humorous. Inwardly, he rolled his eyes at Qin Shuo, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Your Majesty is praising me. Chenqie isn't omnipotent."

He really wanted to look down on Qin Shuo, but his identity made him shut up. If he couldn't help but mock Qin Shuo, then in a few days he would be at a disadvantage if he didn't let Qin Shuo accompany him.

"Hur hur."

It was still that glib Hu Xiao. Because of his slight struggle, his smooth hair became a little messy. Qin Shuo looked at Hu Xiao as if he had been bewitched, and slightly lowered his head to straighten out Hu Xiao's hair.

Crash.

The sudden sound of silence made the two of them split up in a hurry. Qin Shuo normally left, and Hu Xiaoxiao looked at the source of the sound with a smile that was not a smile.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, esteemed empress."

Xue Meng'er caught a glimpse of the two of them and quickly knelt down.

He thought that Hu Xiao and Qin Shuo's relationship was as bad as it was rumored to be, but who knew that in a place he could not see in private, the two of them had such a good relationship?

Originally, he had thought that there was no one in the Huxiao Palace, and Qin Shuo had been angered by Hu Xiaoxiao and left. He had come to see Hu Xiaoxiao, but who would have thought that he would see such a side of him?

"Hmm? Imperial Concubine Xue? "

Qin Shuo thought it was the blind maid, but unexpectedly it was Xue Meng'er. Qin Shuo was slightly surprised, was Xue Meng'er looking to humiliate herself in the empress's palace?

"Imperial Concubine Xue? Your Majesty, did you listen? Why would Imperial Concubine Xue come here? "

Hu Xiaoxiao was naturally able to hear Xue Xun Er's voice, but now that Xue Meng'er had come across his embarrassment, he definitely wouldn't let her escape unscathed.

"Hehe, the empress and Imperial Concubine Xue aren't very close, so it's natural that she wouldn't be able to hear it. It's natural that she won't be able to tell now."

Qin Shuo laughed when he heard this. If he could not recognize Xue Meng'er's voice, Qin Shuo would not believe it.

Seeing the interest in Hu Xiaoxiao's eyes, Qin Shuo naturally covered for him. He also wanted to see Xue Meng'er in a joke.

"Is it really Sister Xue? "Little sister, don't blame me. After all, I haven't had a good memory these past few days."

Qin Shuo's pampered look made his heart tremble. When did Qin Shuo become like this? Wasn't he always looking down on everyone, standing high above everyone else?

The way the two of them answered each other in the tent caused Xue Meng'er to feel hatred in her heart. When did their friendship become so good?

"The empress must be joking. How could little sister dare to blame big sister?"

Although he wished he could cut Hu Xiao into pieces, Xue Meng'er did not dare to voice out her dissatisfaction with Hu Xiao. Hu Xiao had been frightened of his own Xue Meng a few times, so he could only roll his eyes at Hu Xiao.

"Hehe, little sister is really famous for being knowledgeable. This little sister is really ashamed. Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Hu Xiaoxiao glanced at Qin Shuo, who was grinning from the side. How could this person not care about his image?

But compared to Qin Shuo's current appearance, Hu Xiaoxiao was more interested in kneeling on the ground and letting Xue Meng'er lose all of her virtuous and virtuous looks. Hu Xiaoxiao was very happy in his heart.

This was especially the case since the scholar had been openly and secretly mocking him. Now that he had mocked his cousin, it was also the case.

"Empress, Imperial Concubine Xue heard that Empress was not feeling well yesterday, so she brought ginseng soup to greet the Empress. Does Empress want to see?"

"Xueyu," Zhexiu said from outside the door, not seeing Xueyu kneeling in front of the canopy.

"Hmm? "No need, Imperial Concubine Xue has arrived."

When Hu Xiao heard this, he looked at Xue Xun'er. He thought that it was because his palace maid was not sensible, and now it seemed that Xue Meng'er was in the wrong. The palace maid who had informed him would only report now, and Xue Ling'er had already arrived in front of the tent.

"Esteemed Empress, chenqie didn't intentionally break into the Empress's sleeping quarters. I beg your pardon, Your Majesty."

Xue Meng'er originally came here because she wanted to laugh out loud yesterday but was dizzy when she came back to ridicule Hu Xiao. However, not only was she unable to ridicule Hu Xiao, she was even able to see the coquettish atmosphere between him and the Emperor.

"Imperial Concubine Xue? Why would the imperial concubine appear here again? Shouldn't the imperial concubine be waiting in the front hall right now? "

Zhixiang was startled when she heard Xue Mi'er's voice coming from the sleeping quarters. She did not know when Xue Meng'er had entered Hu Xiao's sleeping quarters.

"Zhixiang, it's alright. Imperial Concubine Xue can go to this palace whenever she wants. There's no need for Imperial Concubine Xue to notify me next time. My palace and Imperial Concubine Xue's palace are the same."

Seeing this, Xue Meng'er was alarmed and quickly kneeled down and begged for mercy.

"Your Majesty, please forgive the empress for her recklessness. Chenqie shouldn't have disregarded communication to come in here. Chenqie definitely won't dare to do it again."

"No matter, why would His Majesty blame us? Your little sister is the most beloved concubine of the Emperor, isn't she, your Majesty? "

Qin Shuo had originally been looking at the situation between Hu Xiao and Xue Meng'er, but unexpectedly, Hu Xiao was trying his best to direct the flames to him.

The corner of his mouth curled up slightly. Sure enough, with a mischievous smile by his side, even if he were to quarrel with him, his mood would slowly ease up.

"The empress is right, but in the future, Imperial Concubine will need to pay attention to a few things. After all, it isn't appropriate to rampage within the empress palace like this."

"Yes, chenqie will definitely pay attention in the future. Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, esteemed empress."

Seeing Qin Shuo loosen his mouth, Xue Meng'er relaxed. Fortunately, Qin Shuo didn't bother too much with it.

"That's enough. Since you've paid your respects to the empress and Gu Ruoyun, you can go down. We'll be patrolling the south tomorrow. You should prepare to set off tomorrow as well."

When Xue Meng'er heard this, she was overjoyed and quickly retreated from the competition. Tomorrow, we will patrol the south. First, we will let Hu Xiaoxiao be complacent for a while, but when it is time, we will no longer know whose home ground it is.

Hu Xiaoxiao looked at the exceptionally happy Xue Meng'er, not very happy. He had thought that he would be the only Empress on Qin Shuo's trip to the south, but who would have thought that these two cousins who had always been looking for their fault would actually go with him?

"What does Your Majesty mean by this?" This concubine truly doesn't know that His Majesty intends to bring his imperial concubine along with him. If I had known earlier, His Majesty would have told me that I could stay behind and protect the palace so that I could help Your Majesty. "

It wasn't that Qin Shuo didn't know about the things that happened between him and Xue Meng'er, but he didn't care and brought her along. At this moment, Hu Xiaoxiao really wanted to praise Qin Shuo's courage.
