The Ninth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty: The First True Man in the Imperial Palace

Chapter 25 A concubine invites you to her bedchamber? Palace Attendant Han of the Palace Punishment

"Alright, Miss Xiuhe. I'll go with you to Jingren Palace to see Consort Xian!"

As they were talking.

Xiao Shisan, accompanied by two eunuchs from Changchun Palace, walked towards the courtyard gate with Xiuhe.

Recalling last night, the noble and virtuous Consort Gongsun Qinghua, with her slender figure and graceful body... Xiao Shisan secretly swallowed, and at this moment, he even imagined all sorts of positions.

Han Shanggong heard Xiao Shisan's words.

She hurried to the door, her gaze fixed on Xiao Shisan's retreating figure as he walked out of the courtyard.

Instantly!

A hint of suspicion flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Except for Imperial Noble Consort Murong Yuhe, all the other concubines were placed under house arrest in the Twelve Eastern and Western Palaces.

Why did Consort Xian seek out Xiao Shisan?

Han Shanggong recalled the scene just now when Xiao Shisan had publicly whipped her buttocks with a feather duster.

And my back is still burning with pain!

A flash of anger crossed Han Shanggong's beautiful eyes as she glanced at the pretty palace maid Suyin beside her:

"Suyin, when you lead your men to inspect the palaces later, also keep an eye on Xiao Shisan and see if he violates any palace rules."

"Yes, Master."

Plain sounds are obedient and compliant.

Han Shanggong thought for a moment, then waved her hand.

"That's enough!"

"I'll personally lead a team to inspect it later."

Su Yin bit her red lips tightly, feeling that her master, Han Meijun, must be holding a grudge after being spanked by Steward Xiao.

Right now, Master is definitely trying to find something to use against Xiao Shisan.

Then they take the opportunity to punish him and settle personal scores!

...

We arrived at Gongxiang Lane.

Xiao Shisan was very cautious, fearing that something unexpected might happen. After all, he was a real man, and he was going to have a secret rendezvous with Consort Gongsun Qinghua.

Then he turned and instructed the two eunuchs:

"You should all return to Changchun Palace first!"

"Yes, Steward Xiao."

After the two eunuchs walked away.

"Hehe, Miss Xiuhe."

"Your Highness, why do you want me to go to Changchun Palace?" Xiao Shisan still felt it would be better to ask casually, so it would seem more natural.

After all, Consort Xian Gongsun Qinghua came to him to complete the important matter of consummating their marriage... Otherwise, not asking her would only arouse suspicion.

Xiuhe had a good impression of Xiao Shisan.

When she went to ask Consort Xian for wild ginseng, she was made difficult by Imperial Physician Hu. It was Xiao Shisan who stepped in and helped her resolve the situation.

Xiuhe looked up with her pretty little face: "Steward Xiao, Her Majesty says she admires your literary talent and wants you to help her compose a couplet."

"Help her write a couplet?"

Xiao Shisan asked curiously, "What does this mean?"

Xiuhe's face instantly turned serious, and she leaned closer to explain in a low voice.

"The treacherous minister Li Sidao, whose concubine, the second wife Qin Keqing, often came to the palace to compose poems with the virtuous concubine."

"Qin Keqing is currently in Jingren Palace."

"Qin Keqing's literary talent surpasses that of the Empress; she often composes couplets that even the Empress cannot match."

Qin Keqing was Li Sidao's second wife.

Xiao Shisan nodded. Left Prime Minister Li Si said that he had never met her before, but he never expected to be the first to meet his second wife, Qin Keqing.

Perhaps, once Qin Keqing leaves, Consort Gongsun Qinghua will secretly take my body?

Xiao Shisan grinned slyly, recalling last night, Gongsun Qing's white dress adorned with plum blossoms, her hair flowing down to her hips, and her shapely buttocks.

A saying suddenly came to mind: things got better later than they ever did!

Seeing Xiao Shisan's lewd smile.

Xiuhe was secretly startled: "Steward Xiao, what are you laughing at?"

Xiao Shisan's smile froze. He coughed twice, then put on a serious face: "Oh, it's nothing, I just remembered some happy things."

"Something happy happened? Can you tell me about it?"

Xiuhe became interested.

Looking at Xiuhe's delicate face, Xiao Shisan chuckled. "Telling you this might corrupt you..."

"I'll tell you later!"

Xiao Shisan gave an awkward smile.

Xiuhe was overjoyed: "Okay, then you must tell me in the future."

Xiao Shisan smiled, but then felt uneasy as he thought about Liu Yuhe's matter.

In the future?

I don't know if I'll live to see the future.

He even killed Steward Liu before. If his godfather Liu Jin finds out, he will definitely be furious and come looking for trouble!

That's the head of the Western Depot!

Oh shit!

do not care.

I'd rather be beaten to death than be scared to death!

It's only a temporary pleasure.

When that time comes, won't I still have Imperial Noble Consort Murong Yuhe to back me up?

Unlike the Empress's Changchun Palace and the Imperial Noble Consort's Chuxiu Palace, Jingren Palace is located in the first row of the Eastern Six Palaces, adjacent to Yanxi Palace.

We arrived at the gate of Jingren Palace.

There stood a red-robed eunuch and several other eunuchs, all with solemn expressions, in front of the palace gate.

Xiuhe hurriedly stepped forward: "Chief Eunuch Liao, this is Chief Eunuch Xiao of Changchun Palace behind me. That's the person Her Majesty wishes to see!"

"Hehe, nice to meet you, please take care of me." Xiao Shisan clasped his hands in greeting to the red-robed eunuch.

The red-robed eunuch snorted coldly and ordered two junior eunuchs:

"Go, you two go and search him, search him inside and out."

search?!

Xiao Shisan was startled and quickly took a step back.

I rely on!

If someone touches me and there's a huge lump of stuff that shouldn't be there... wouldn't that expose my status as a real man?

Seeing Xiao Shisan back away, Xiuhe asked curiously, "Steward Xiao, what's wrong?"

Xiao Shisan hurriedly pretended to be calm and said, "Oh... I like it when other people touch and scratch me, but I'm not used to it when other people touch and scratch me."

Of course, he meant that he liked to touch and grab women.

"Not used to it?"

The red-robed eunuch sneered: "Zhang Dehai, the chief steward of Cining Palace, once ordered that all eunuchs be searched when entering and leaving the palaces."

Zhang Dehai?

Oh dear, I offended him last night!

However, now is not the time to think about these things... Xiao Shisan narrowed his eyes and reached into his pocket.

"Steward Liao, could you possibly make an exception?"

Xiuhe quickly stepped forward to speak up for Xiao Shisan: "Steward Xiao is not a bad person, and when the Empress met him, they only discussed poetry and couplets."

Manager Liao held his head high, looking arrogant and haughty:

"Not a bad guy? Humph, I'm not a bad guy either. If he won't let me search him, then let him go..."

Xiao Shisan: "..."

Damn, look how smug you are!

Xiao Shisan approached Steward Liao, holding up the gleaming silver coins and waving them in front of him: "Hmm, oh dear, I wonder if this thing will even be of any use?"

Xiao Shisan originally wanted to use the Imperial Noble Consort's jade token to scare this guy!

But thinking about it, money is still more effective at winning people's hearts.

Moreover, these are large silver ingots, each ingot weighing a full twenty taels!

There were still many gold and silver treasures under Xiao Shisan's bed, but this was just a drop in the ocean for him.

moment!

Manager Liao's eyes were glazed over: "Oh my, it works, it works! You should have said so earlier if you had money..."

He was about to grab the silver.

Xiao Shisan tried to grab it, but he missed.

"Hehe, calling me Xiao Shisan 'Dad' will bring you benefits in the future."

"father!"

"Yes, apologize!"

"I'm sorry, Dad, I was wrong... From now on, you will be my father."

Xiao Shisan was seen teasing Steward Liao.

The once arrogant Steward Liao was now meek and submissive.

Xiuhe couldn't help but chuckle, covering her mouth with her hand.

Xiao Shisan nodded in satisfaction and tossed the silver to Steward Liao: "Alright, keep a good watch on the gate!"

"Okay, all set!"

Steward Liao took the silver, bit it, and then waved happily toward the palace gate: "Father, please come in."

We arrived at the palace courtyard.

Xiao Shisan saw that the main hall doors were tightly closed.

With his extraordinary hearing, he suddenly heard a soft laugh from the woman in the main hall.

"Your Highness, the Virtuous Consort!"

"You've been thinking about this for a quarter of an hour."

"If you can't match the answer, you've lost. If you lose, Your Majesty will have to punish yourself with three cups of wine."

This is the voice of Qin Keqing, Li Sidao's second wife.

It sounds so sweet and soothing.

"Second Madam, please allow me to think about it some more," Gongsun Qinghua's dignified voice drifted out softly.

Xiao Shisan realized that Gongsun Qinghua must be inside the palace, stumped by one of Qin Keqing's couplets.

"Steward Xiao, please come with me."

The palace maid Xiuhe then led Xiao Shisan to the small hall on the west side:

"Chief Steward Xiao, Her Majesty instructed you to stay in the palace and not come out... I'll go and inform Her Majesty."

Done.

Xiuhe then went outside.

Xiao Shisan waited in the small hall, listening carefully to the sounds outside.

First, Xiuhe called out "Your Majesty," and then the palace doors opened.

"Second Madam, please allow me to go out and think about it. I will give you an answer in a moment!" Gongsun Qinghua said in a low voice.

Done.

Then came a series of light, hurried footsteps, growing ever closer.

quickly!

Xiao Shisan saw a figure in a white dress adorned with red plum blossoms step into the hall.

She possessed a noble air, a slender figure, and a full bosom that seemed to burst forth from her clothes, trembling slightly as she walked, her curves exquisite.

Her face was fair and delicate, with a straight nose and eyes like stars.

She's absolutely stunning!

"Hehe, Your Highness, we meet again." Xiao Shisan smiled.

The visitor was none other than Consort Gongsun Qinghua!

Gongsun Qinghua moved with light steps, her face was plain and serious, and she slightly parted her red lips.

"Xiao Shisan, today I will test you once again."

"If you can help me come up with a matching couplet, I will fulfill the task entrusted to me by Duke Wei!"

"Let's see if you can come up with the answer!"

Xiao Shisan: "..."

You can't match the couplet for Qin Keqing.

Why did they call me here? Are they treating me like a cheat code?

Xiao Shisan saw through her intentions but didn't point it out, and smiled: "Your Majesty, please speak."
