The little princess was torn, and the demon emperor patched her up

Chapter 162 My beloved concubine caught me having an affair outside
The next morning.

When Xiao Baojing woke up, his fever had subsided, but his whole head felt sticky, probably because the cold sweat from last night had stuck to his hair.

She rubbed her hair in disgust, then made a formula to clean it up.

After breakfast, the concubines changed into the same light pink chiffon skirts, combed their hair into double-ring buns, and followed the palace maids to the Qifeng Pavilion.

Xiao Baojing was standing at the back and took a quick glance at the Qifeng Pavilion.

The pavilion was spacious, with a beautiful woman wearing a phoenix hairpin sitting in the middle. She must be Queen Wu of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

Behind her were seven or eight concubines, some plump and some thin, with beautiful hair and fragrant clothes, all smiling.

Several princes were sitting nearby, the most eye-catching of them all was the young man in black clothes and a golden hairpin.

The young man sat lazily, with red lips, white teeth, and a graceful figure. His long hair was tied into a high ponytail with a golden hairpin. Even his silhouette was exceptionally neat and noble, like a sword unsheathed, revealing a terrifying edge in the chilly spring weather.

His slender fingertips played with a gorgeous peony flower until the concubines stepped into the Qifeng Pavilion. Then he lifted his thin eyelids and glanced at the back row with a smile.

Xiao Baojing lowered his head and heard the suppressed excited voices of the concubines in the front row: "I've always heard that the Crown Prince is an idiot. He was locked up in the palace by the Queen for twenty years and never came out to see people! I didn't expect him to be so handsome!"

"Not to mention being the Crown Princess, even if I were to be his concubine, I would be willing!"

"..."

The discussions naturally reached Queen Wu's ears.

She stroked the teacup gracefully and looked at Shang Bingjiu with pride.

She said lovingly, "My son, these girls are all good daughters of officials in the capital. They are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and are familiar with poetry and songs. They are gentle, virtuous and considerate."

Shang Bingjiu leaned back in the official hat chair and said "hmm" with his thin lips bent.

Empress Wu turned to the other concubines and said, "Sisters, you can also choose someone you like for your children."

The concubines all stood up respectfully and said, "Thank you, Queen, for your grace."

The beauties were divided into groups of four and took turns to come forward to show off.

Some concubines had already found candidates for their sons. Seeing that Shang was drunk and remained silent, they took the initiative to ask Queen Wu to make the decision and arrange a marriage between their sons and a certain beautiful girl.

Xiao Baojing is in the fourth group.

She walked forward with her head lowered, determined to raise her head again when she faced Shang Bingjiu later and give him a good scare.

As expected, Queen Wu ordered, "Raise your head."

Xiao Baojing raised his head slowly.

The girl is beautiful.

She was like a newly-bloomed hibiscus flower on a branch in the chilly spring, pink, fresh and delicate, with exceptionally long and fine eyelashes, and dark and moist pupils like two pools of clear spring water. Seeing her made even my breathing seem smoother.

Empress Wu exclaimed: "Even though I am used to seeing beauties, I never expected that there would be such a beautiful girl in the Prime Minister's mansion."

Xiao Baojing wanted to grin, but she just glared at Shang Bingjiu with smugness, questioning him with her eyes if he didn't expect her to be here.

Shang Bingjiu could guess her little thoughts. A cunning look flashed across his fox eyes, and he pretended to be shocked and guilty on his face.

Seeing Shang Bingjiu in such a state, Xiao Baojing's tail was about to rise to the sky. He bowed and said, "Your servant Xiao Baojing pays respects to the Queen!"

The girl's voice was crisp, like a silver bell.

Queen Wu couldn't help but feel very satisfied.

The other concubines looked at their sons' longing and infatuated expressions and knew that they also had their eyes on Xiao Baojing.

But the Queen Mother obviously liked this girl very much, and they couldn’t compete with her for her.

So they all sat upright, and some concubines even began to praise Xiao Baojing: "Miss Xiao is really generous, decent, gentle and lovely. Look at her round face, she must be blessed." Queen Wu waved her hand and smiled, "Come forward and let me take a closer look."

Xiao Baojing walked forward obediently, and Queen Wu gently held her hand.

The more Empress Wu looked at her, the more satisfied she became. She exclaimed, "An empty mountain after a rain, a lotus emerging from the water, isn't it just like this?"

Xiao Baojing felt embarrassed by their praise and said sweetly, "The Queen is the mother of the country like the bright moon in the sky, and each of you ladies has your own merits like a hundred flowers in full bloom. I am just a firefly in front of you."

"Tsk."

There was a slight sneer from the side.

Shang Bingjiu listened to the flattery and played with the peony flowers, almost laughing out loud.

Queen Wu became more and more satisfied with Xiao Baojing.

She turned to Shang Bingjiu with a smile: "My Lord, what do you think of Miss Xiao?"

At an angle where Queen Wu couldn't see, Xiao Baojing raised his chin towards Shang Bingjiu in a boastful manner.

Want to choose a concubine?

Want to have an affair behind her back?

We have to see if she agrees!
Shang Bingjiu suppressed his laughter and pretended to be nonchalant: "Very good."

Queen Wu was stunned.

Ever since her son regained consciousness, she was ecstatic but also began to worry about his marriage. She sent many beauties to him openly or secretly, but he was like a stupid child. No one knew what he was busy with every day and he never paid any attention to them.

The sisters in the harem gave her a lot of advice. The most outrageous one was that she arranged for a beautiful woman to dance in a gauze dress on the road he had to pass. As a result, not only did he not react, he also said that the beauty was not smart enough to run outside in a gauze dress to dance in such a cold weather.

She almost thought he was a homosexual!

Unexpectedly, today, the word "very good" popped out of his mouth!
Empress Wu was greatly encouraged and asked tentatively, "How about giving her to you as the Crown Princess?"

Shang Bingjiu raised his eyebrows and his eyes fell on Xiao Baojing's face.

The little girl was making faces and showing off very much.

He curved his fox eyes: "Okay."

Queen Wu felt a lump in her throat and she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, almost crying out loud with excitement.

The concubines in the harem hurried forward to comfort her, and another busybody suggested, "Why not arrange for Miss Xiao to live in the palace, so that she can improve her relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"That's true." Empress Wu grabbed Xiao Baojing's hand and said, "My dear, you will temporarily live in Chuxiu Palace from now on."

After the draft, Xiao Baojing followed Shang Bingjiu stealthily until he entered the west room.

Shang Bingjiu lifted up his brocade robe and was about to relieve himself when he heard a "bang" sound behind him, as if someone had suddenly jumped out.

A clear voice like a silver bell sounded: "Well, we have been married for less than two months, and you are looking for a new lover outside without telling me! Peddler, you are so heartless and shameless that you abandoned your wife and children. You will be punished!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of flowing water.

Xiao Baojing: "..."

Realizing what he was doing, the girl's jade-like cheeks gradually turned red, and she covered her eyes tightly: "You...you are shameless!"

Shang Bingjiu pulled up his trousers and put down his brocade robe, washed his hands slowly and carefully, and then wiped his fingertips with a towel.

He turned to Xiao Baojing with a half-smile, leaned close to her little face, and whispered, "What should I do? My beloved concubine caught me cheating outside. Oh, I'm so scared!"

Xiao Baojing quietly spread out his five fingers.

Through the gaps between my fingers, I met a pair of beautiful, smiling fox eyes.
