The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny - Chapter 265

Chapter 265: Afraid of You

After Xie Qiao stayed for a short while, the palace maid explained the identity of the concubines to her clearly.

Imperial Concubine Meng was the Fourth Prince’s birth mother. Although her appearance was dazzling, her fate…was very amiable. She actually had a virtuous appearance.

Meanwhile, Concubine Ruan was not considered to be devastatingly beautiful. At the very least, compared to the Empress, she was indeed far inferior.

It was said that she had given birth to the eldest daughter of the Emperor, so her status was pretty high. Although her looks could not be compared to the Empress and Imperial Concubine Meng, she was not too bad. If there was a flaw, it would be that her eyes were slightly long, her nose slightly round. She spoke out of impulse, and her personality might be a little panicky.

When she saw the layers of killing formations in the Crown Prince’s palace, Xie Qiao had already imagined a palace battle scene.

However, now, she saw the two most authoritative concubines around the Empress…

She was confused.

While Xie Qiao’s mind was running wild, Imperial Concubine Meng had already asked the ladies to show their talents.

They were all young ladies from noble families, and today was considered a “blind date.”

Naturally, they would not get them to show their singing and dancing talents. It was too frivolous.

Therefore, what they wanted everyone to display was calligraphy and poetry.

They wanted them to recite poems.

Each of them seemed to be in no hurry, but in fact, they were in a rush to answer. They only watched as these young ladies stood out one by one and said the famous phrases that had been passed down through the ages.

In terms of talent, those who came from the Peony Courtyard were indeed better at reciting poems than the women from the Orchid Courtyard.

Xie Qiao was not really here to participate, so she just sat there and ate snacks, watching the performance of others.

She lowered her head, but she could also feel a ghoul floating around.

“What a delicate color… you guys can recite poems, and so can I,” The ghoul muttered, and then looked disappointed, “My recitation is not as good as yours… Of course I’m not good enough. You guys come from such a wealthy background, don’t you? You have a teacher to teach you, and a nanny to guide you. All I did was serve people…

“Your lives are really good…

“You drank this wine before I even tasted it. I really hate it.”

“…”

Those ghouls were lingering. It was not a big deal, but they looked scary.

“Xie Qiao, you didn’t join the poetry club when you were in the academy, right? Can you understand the poems they’re reciting now?!” The people on the other side became lively and their voices became louder. With a cover, Xia Yayun shouted at Xie Qiao again.

Xie Qiao turned her head to look at her.

“Since you’re a bandit, you can only fight! Don’t think that I’m afraid of you after what happened last time!” Xia Yayun said again.

Xie Qiao frowned, “Don’t open your mouth. If you open your mouth again, I’m afraid that you won’t live long enough to finish the bet with me.”

They had made a bet earlier. If she managed to give 500 silver beans as charity money, Xia Yayun would leave far away.

Xia Yayun thought about the previous feud with coal. Now, she was filled with hatred. After pondering for a moment, she accidentally knocked the thing in front of her onto the ground.

“What are you waiting for? Come over and help remove it. Replace it with new ones!” Xia Yayun said to the palace maid serving behind Xie Qiao.

Xie Qiao also brought servants with her when she went out. However, today’s occasion was special. The servants were waiting outside. The ones inside were palace maids.

There was one behind each of the ladies.

It was not enough for Xia Yayun to order her around, she still wanted to order Xie Qiao around.

“Go,” Xie Qiao said indifferently.

The palace maid responded and then lowered her head to sort out the things.

Once the palace maid left, Xia Yayun moved closer. She suddenly pulled Xie Qiao’s body and threw something out, “Sister Xie?! Why did you bring this thing here?!”
