Quick Wear: Another day of being criticized for falling in love at first sight

Chapter 417: Ancient Dimension, Cannon Fodder Female Matching Whose Marriage Was Snatched Away by Co

Miaomiao's days in Fengyi Palace were quite busy.

Not only does the family business need to be taken care of regularly, but there are also all the affairs of the palace. However, although there are so many things to do, Miaomiao does not feel too tired because she has the help of capable people.

Besides those tasks, Xiao Jingyuan would always come to see her under various pretexts, and these were all during his spare time. He would either bring her some rare items newly acquired from outside the palace, or just happen to be passing by...

So many things intertwined together filled Miaomiao's mind, and she hadn't thought about caring about the fate of her task object for a long time.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a year has passed. On this day, during a rare free time, Xiao Jingyuan was also trapped by the ministers to discuss matters. Miaomiao lay in the rocking chair, watching the maids trimming the branches, Cuihuan waiting on the side.

Somehow, they started talking about something Cuihuan had heard recently, about Bi Qingqing, who was originally named Shi Shu but was later forced to change back to her original name.

When Miaomiao heard Bi Qingqing's name again, she was stunned for a long time.

According to Cuihuan, her cousin couldn't stand the suffering of exile, so she ran away secretly from the place of exile. She even hooked up with a local wealthy businessman and willingly became his concubine.

But she could never have expected that the wealthy businessman's wife would not tolerate her at all. After knowing that she was an exile, she found an excuse for stealing and beat her up, beating her half to death.

That once pretty face was now covered in bruises, not only ruining her appearance but also bringing shame to her.

Afterwards, he was sent back to the people in Prince Zhao's mansion.

The scheming King Zhao died of illness during his exile, leaving behind a desolate world. The former Princess Zhao was so grief-stricken and ill that she was sent back to her parents' home, and there was no news of her since.

Only Xiao Yichen was left. Because the crime he committed was too serious, he was imprisoned in a dilapidated place and guarded, facing Bi Qingqing, who had a disfigured face and a lame leg, every day.

These two people had never really treated each other sincerely, and now they were trapped in a cold and bitter place. Naturally, they were fed up with each other, and they often fought with each other, and their lives were hopeless.

After listening to Cuihuan's story, Miaomiao even ate an extra bowl of rice that night, which surprised Xiao Jingyuan so much that he even rewarded the imperial chef who cooked the meal...

-------------------------------------

In front of Miaomiao, Xiao Jingyuan was like putting layer upon layer of shackles on himself, and the degree of restraint was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Every time he looked at Miaomiao, love was surging in his eyes, but he forced himself to retract his fiery gaze and only dared to reveal a bit of just the right tenderness.

Occasionally, when he accidentally touched Miaomiao's fingertips, Xiao Jingyuan would tremble with excitement, but he would try his best to suppress it and pretend to withdraw his hand casually, at most letting Miaomiao see his blushing and innocent look.

He was like a miser who carefully guarded his treasure, afraid that if he was exposed, it would shock the one he loved. He could only get along with Miaomiao in this restrained and forbearing way.

But once Xiao Jingyuan left Miaomiao's small world and went to the court, he immediately showed a completely different crazy side.

When dealing with state affairs, his stern face seemed to be able to freeze frost, and his sharp eyes were like blades. If any minister made a suggestion that was slightly inappropriate, or dared to play any tricks or make any small moves in the court, he would refute it mercilessly.

The murderous and decisive aura is intimidating.

But even so, he still deserves the title of "benevolent monarch".

Every decision he made was based on the long-term interests of the country and the well-being of the people of the world. Under his governance, the country prospered and the people praised the emperor highly.

But even so, seeing that His Majesty's temperament has become gentler than before, some people with ulterior motives feel that they have an opportunity to take advantage of.

They were secretly calculating their own plans, thinking that His Majesty's heart and eyes were now completely occupied by Miss Shi, but the reproduction of royal offspring was a big deal, and with only one future queen in the harem, how could it be enough?

If I could find a way to give Your Majesty a few more concubines, the chances of giving birth to a son or grandson would be greatly increased, and then I would have made a contribution to the royal family.

So, the ministers began to gather together and make suggestions, under the banner of considering the bloodline, urging His Majesty to hold a selection.

As for Xiao Jingyuan, he was a meticulous person. Although most of his thoughts were occupied by Miaomiao, how could any movement in the court escape his eyes?

He had already noticed these people's little tricks, but he just held back for the time being.

After hearing those ministers' roundabout way of talking about enriching the harem, Xiao Jingyuan unexpectedly did not reject it outright on the spot. However, a hint of coldness that was imperceptible to others flashed in his deep eyes.

Instead, it was Qin Jianzheng of the Imperial Observatory who stood up at this critical juncture and scolded his colleagues who were trying to choose a concubine for His Majesty.

"Your Majesty and the Empress are a match made in heaven, yet you, for your own selfish reasons, are attempting to ruin the palace's fortune. Aren't you afraid of retribution for such an act that defies heaven?

Your Majesty, please think twice."

Xiao Jingyuan lowered his eyes and didn't say much this time. Qin Sheng's words were enough.

As expected, because Xiao Jingyuan didn't refuse on the spot, he unexpectedly fell into the water on his way back to his bedroom that night and caught a cold. The next day, in full view of everyone, he was assassinated and a sharp arrow pierced his chest...

All of a sudden, the entire palace erupted in an uproar. Qin Jianzheng even stood at the minister's door and started cursing. This aroused the public, who were originally unaware of the matter, into a frenzy...

Originally, Xiao Jingyuan didn't want Miaomiao to know about this matter, for fear that the bloody scene would scare her.

But in the end, an anxious palace maid reported it to Miaomiao. Miaomiao could not sit still when she heard the news that Xiao Jingyuan was injured. No matter as a friend or the future queen, she could not ignore it.

So, Miaomiao, led by Xiao Shunzi, went to Xiao Jingyuan's bedroom for the first time and even bumped into the imperial doctors who were leaving.

When Miaomiao finally entered the bedroom, what she saw was his figure half lying on the bed.
