My Ferocious Tigress Wife - Chapter 983
Chapter 983: Chapter 983-Can’t Be Presented
Although Empress Pan wasn’t smart and didn’t see what was going on, when she saw that the madams who had been beaten up didn’t pursue the matter and even apologized one after another, she silently cowered and pretended that nothing had happened.
Anyway, she had asked carefully. It was fine as long as her biological son was not beaten up.
As for her nephew, Xiao Qi, she was genuinely in love with him. However, since her own mother was now ‘blaming’ Xiao Bao, she wouldn’t stand up for him.
Although Xiao Baoxin felt a little disgusted in her heart, letting the children gossip about her, and the groundless Jianghu legends were obviously passed down to the next generation, her own daughter had already made a move, so she could not say anything more.
If it was when she was young, she might still be angry and insist on making a clear distinction between right and wrong.
However, she was old and no longer as reckless as before. She could not get angry anymore. Moreover, it was not his daughter who was at a disadvantage. The other party was gossiping and the twins were touching each other. It could be considered that they had won and not lost.
It had always been fine if other people were happy with their mouths and their fists were happy with their fists, complementing each other.
Just like that, the dispute ended with Xiao Baoxin calling it child’s play.
None of them had the intention to pursue the matter. All of the madams felt wronged and spoke ill of Xiao Baoxin and even Xie Xian behind their backs. And Xiao Baoxin had Xie Xian, this huge mountain, backing him up. If they were to bicker, it would seem like they were the ones using their power to bully others. She was clearly the victim of public opinion, but because she had power and influence, she had the face and the fist, so she could not act recklessly.
Although the little Emperor of Jianxing had eaten a lot of gossip, he had also exchanged some of the rumors he had heard in the palace with the young men.
In the end, although he wasn’t beaten up, this was the first time the little Emperor had seen a group fight in his life, especially the twins ‘martial arts skills that were mixed with savagery.
Some of them were shocked by Pan Xiaoqi’s bruised face and swollen face. That night, she had a fever in the middle of the night, which frightened Concubine Pan. She took care of her for half a month before she recovered.
This was a story for the future, but Empress Dowager Xiao was speechless for a long time when she heard the report from her trusted aide.
Xie Xian’s power had already reached the point where he could cover the sky with one hand. His children could even escape unscathed when they fought with the Emperor in the Palace.
Even though his fist didn’t land on the emperor, Pan Xiaoqi had blocked it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to escape.
However, so what if it really hit the Emperor? Empress Dowager Xiao knew with her knees that the matter would still be settled and the matter would be reduced to a small matter.
“The subject is strong and the ruler is weak.”
“Empress Dowager…” Gui Zhi, who had been by the Empress Dowager’s side for more than ten years, was no longer the rash and reckless person she had been before. Seeing that the Empress Dowager was moved, she quickly tried to dissuade her in a low voice.
Looking at her cautious appearance, Empress Dowager Xiao could not help but laugh. As she laughed, she started coughing.
The weather had been getting colder recently, and her old cough had returned.
It was also because of a few miscarriages in her early years that her body was completed. In the past, she did not feel it because she was young, but in the past two years, it had become more and more unbearable.
“Alright, there’s no need to be afraid. The Grand Tutor will not make things difficult for us because of rumors. He is very magnanimous.”
The main reason was that she had immense power. She was a widow with no power or influence. Even her family was far away. She did not care at all. What was wrong with complaining a little? Only people in the limelight would ignore it. It was not worth it for others to take it to heart and waste their feelings.
Empress Dowager Xiao looked at herself in the mirror. She was clearly two or three years younger than Xiao Baoxin, but her face seemed to be of a different generation.
She had never won with her appearance. When she was a girl, she never cared about it.
Now, it was impossible to not care. Her life was not as good as others, and she did not look as good as when she was young.
She was clearly in her thirties, but she was still extremely beautiful. The moment she appeared, she was gorgeous and radiant. The more she thought about it, the more heart-wrenching she felt.
His body wasn’t even as strong as the other party’s. How could he be reasonable?
Empress Dowager Xiao didn’t care about this matter. The slap wasn’t on her body. The little Emperor and the other’s mother had already swallowed their teeth and blood. She had nothing to do but meddle in other people’s business. Wasn’t it better to take care of her body?
Moreover, she really did not have the ability to interfere in the Xie family’s matters.
Holding the emperor to order the vassals was probably like this. How could a widow in the palace interfere with her power? Her brothers were far away in Yizhou, and she couldn’t help them. She also had to be careful not to provoke Xie Xian and let him attack the Xiao family. After all, there was no family that could rival the Xie family now. If there was, it would be the Xiao family. That was Xiao Baoxin’s maiden family. What difference was there from not having one?
Just assist politics, at the beginning of the day, if the person who can also be a sign, that is Chu Yan.
His status was naturally advantageous. He was the emperor’s son-in-law of the Daliang Dynasty and an assistant minister. Furthermore, he had a good reputation and was smart and capable.
Who would have thought that this fellow did not have any ambition and was instead focused on practical politics, and now he was worthy of being Xie Xian’s assistant. Two people that called one in sync, don’t say let him make Xie Xian, others make Xie Xian he is the first one to come out for Xie Xian. Many people were angry at him for not fighting behind his back, but what could he do?
There was no need to say anything about Sikong Xiao. Xie Xian’s dear father-in-law treated Xie Xian better than his own son. If he didn’t treat his son-in-law so well, then his son-in-law wouldn’t be so obedient to Xiao Baoxin. He would turn around and return the goods. How many people criticized him like this?
As for the King of Yuzhang, he had completely surrendered. He did not have any of the cruelty and bloodlust of the Song family. That was what it meant to not strive for progress and only care about closing the door and living his own life.
He had married Jiuniang of the Xie family a few years ago, and they had been holding two in one or two years, and three in two years.
The struggles of the court and the separation of powers had nothing to do with him. He only cared about his wife and children. They were as thin as two normal people in their first year of marriage. After they got married, Xie Jiuniang was so blessed that she made the King of Yuzhang lose weight quickly. She actually miraculously reversed the public’s reputation and became more delicate and beautiful.
Empress Dowager Xiao didn’t know if the Prince of Yuzhang was really infatuated or if he was just living a small life out of the heart of avoiding disaster. Perhaps he was acting as if he was taking it seriously. Occasionally, he would see Yuzhang’s Wang and his wife entering the palace. They looked really tender and sweet, and their eyes were bright.
However, the Prince of Yuzhang was too weak. He was full of Baby Sutra, but he knew more than Xie Jiuniang.
She suspected that the little Emperor was a little sissy. It was because the Prince of Yuzhang had been too much of a nuisance and had been negatively affected. The little Emperor did not have the slightest sense of worry about the righteousness of the world or the power of the court.
He was already a seven or eight-year-old young man, and he had grown up in such a dangerous environment. Whether it was the harem or the previous dynasty, they were all ruthless people, yet he was still so naive. It had to be said that the Pan family bloodline played a huge role.
It was raised by the cowardly and ignorant Lady Pan. As expected…
Is it on the table?
