Don’t Mess with the Tough Lady

Du Xuechun stepped in from outside the door, and saw Xu Qiuqiu lying on the bed, her expression not very good.

"Queen Empress." After Xu Qiuqiu said, she wanted to get up from the bed and salute.

"Sister is free." Du Xuechun naturally wouldn't let her really salute, and walked in from the door, "Sister Xianfei blames her sister? Didn't you come to see you earlier?"

With a phoenix robe added to her body, her demeanor and demeanor are all extravagant, such a posture, Xian Fei only smiled slightly in her eyes.

"Where did the empress say? If you don't remind me, my sister might..." Even if I think about yesterday's situation now, Xu Qiuqiu is still terrified.

"Sister, you are serious. You should take more rest for your health. My palace brought some supplements. Come and see you, Mingying."

After that, she turned and looked behind her, motioning Mingying to take out the gift in her hand.

"Yes." Mingying responded and walked in from the door, holding a box of gifts in her hand.

"Thank you Empress Empress." When Concubine Xian saw the items in front of her, her eyes were a little moist, and she looked to Du Xuechun aside with gratitude.

"Don't cry, this palace is mainly here to see you today. Secondly..." I hesitated a little afterwards.

Seeing how she wanted to talk but stopped, Concubine Xian picked up her handkerchief and wiped her tears, then she smiled suddenly, "Queen, mother, if you have something to say, you might as well speak up."

"Since the younger sister asked, the older sister said, I love your pet very much and think it's cute, so I want to see it again, I don't know..."

Du Xuechun's face was smiling, but she was slightly stiff and unnatural under closer inspection.

"The concubine thought it was something important. It was Xueran's blessing to be able to enter your eyes." After hearing Du Xuechun's words, a smile appeared on his face, and then turned to look at his handmaid.

"Where is Xueran?"

"Hui Niangniang, Xueran has gone out to play, it should be in the yard, should the slave and maid look for it?" The close-fitting maid leaned slightly, walked to the bed, and responded respectfully.

"That's it..." Du Xuechun pretended to be sorry.

Seeing this, Xu Qiuqiu couldn't say anything. It's rare that the queen wanted to see Xueran and couldn't help her mind, "Go get it back."

"Yes."

With a flick of the little maid's figure, she was about to walk to the door.

Seeing this, Mingying hurriedly spoke, but still stood respectfully next to the queen, "Manny, it's better to let the slave and maid follow the search. The slave also likes that cat very much."

"Mingying, don't be rude." Du Xuechun frowned, and looked at the maid beside him with a slightly unpleasant voice, with a slightly more majestic voice than before.

"Don’t get angry with the queen, just let Aunt Mingying go, and the concubine wants to talk to you in private." Although Concubine Xian is not clever, she is not a stupid person, knowing that the master and servant cannot offend. He spoke very considerately for Mingying.

"Sister Xianfei said, it's hard not to agree, you go." After speaking, she waved her hand a little impatiently, as if she was a little unhappy with this behavior.

"Thank you, Niang Niang," Mingying lowered her head and followed the concubine's maid out.

Seeing the two disappeared, Du Xuechun looked back at Xu Qiuqiu who was lying on the bed, his expression returned to normal, and he could not see the previous displeasure.

"Let my sister laugh."

"The empress is serious, it is Xueran's honor." Xu Qiuqiu mentioned the cat, and the expression on his face also overflowed.

Du Xuechun picked up the teacup and took a sip, then lowered her eyes slightly, flashing a gleam.

"The last time I saw Xueran, it seemed that its claws were a bit strange, were they injured?"

"Huh, Xueran's claws were too sharp, and the concubine was worried that it would scratch her, so she sent someone to cut her claws. Liangfei just grew out of it when she was scratched, and it was not aggressive."

This is also the reason why Concubine Xian is angry, Xueran's claws are not sharp at all, and what happened to the injury on Concubine Liang's hand is still unknown.

Du Xuechun frowned lightly, then relaxed, as if nothing special, looked at the tea cup in his hand calmly.

"Niang, do you think it was Xueran who scratched Concubine Liang?" Seeing her silence, Concubine Xian was a little nervous, eagerly hope she could understand Xueran.

"If it is true as my sister said, then Liangfei's injuries have yet to be verified."

Du Xuechun had no sorrow or joy in her tone, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. He looked down the window. The red palace wall, with some bouquets planted under it, had a bit of fragrance pouring in from the window.

And the other side.

Mingying looked for Xueran with her close servant girl, seemingly unconsciously talking about the housework, "The concubine Xian seems to love this cat very much." Mingying looked around, looking for the white hair.

"This cat has been growing up with the Concubine Xian, so the feelings are naturally deeper." The maidservant didn't think much about it. The celebrity around the queen could take the initiative to talk to herself, naturally, she was delighted.

"I heard that Xueran scratched Concubine Liang? What is Concubine Liang doing here?" Mingying spoke to her for a while before opening the conversation.

"Aunt Mingying, my servant tells you..."

The handmaid looked back at the surroundings and looked at her carefully, "The day the concubine Liang came, she tripped the maidservant who was holding the water by herself, and wanted to vent her anger by this ground."

"Oh?" I didn't expect that there would be such a reason, which surprised Mingying.

"It's true, the servant girl didn't lie to you. It was the little maid who was afraid to tell the servant girl. After being scratched by Xueran that day, Concubine Liang ran away. Concubine Liang chased after being angry and came back for a long time."

After the concubine's handmaid said, she looked around and hurriedly stopped, pretending to be nothing, went to find the cat. Mingying looked at the servant girl's back with a smile flashing under her eyes. It doesn't seem to be nothing.

"Where did the concubine Liang go? Has anyone seen it?" Mingying walked over at a faster pace and continued to ask.

"That day... the slave girl couldn't remember it. I just heard the maid talking to the slave girl. The maidservant Yinger who was on duty that day was gone, and I don't know where she went."

After the handmaid said, she looked at a piece of grass, and there was a snow-white sound and shadow hidden inside.

"Found it." The maid's face was overjoyed, she hugged Xueran in her arms, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the dirt off her hair, and walked carefully in front of Mingying.

"It's so cute, it's no wonder that the empress often talks about it." Mingying calmed her mind, looked at Xueran in front of her, hugged it in her arms, and gently stroked it.

"Aunt Mingying, let's go back."

"it is good."

In the palace of the concubine at this time.

Du Xuechun and Concubine Xian talked together, and they talked more.

"Queens, empress dowager decides what to do with her concubines?" Concubine Xian looked at the queen sitting on the chair tentatively, with some caution in her eyes.

Du Xuechun listened to the words, and the corners of his mouth fell a little, and put down the tea cup in his hand.

"I don't know yet."

"Empress Empress, please trust your concubine. The concubine really hasn't done it before, let alone the birthdate of this concubine." Xu Qiuqiu mentioned this matter with anxiety on his face and accidentally pulled the wound on his back.

With a "hiss", Xu Qiuqiu reached out and touched her back, the expression on her face was painful.

"You..." Before Du Xuechun could speak, he heard the voice of someone in the front hall.
