Don’t Mess with the Tough Lady

Everyone is waiting, and they don't know when the queen will call.

"This younger sister has never seen it before, I don't know which lady from Xiangfu?" When the two of them were talking, a woman stood beside Du Qingheng.

The woman is dressed gorgeously, but there are too many pearls and emeralds, which is particularly cumbersome. She looks young, but she is several years old with her dress.

Looking at this person, Du Qingheng recognized at a glance, this was Zhao Ling, Zhao Zhixiang's sister.

Because of Zhao Zhixiang's affairs, the relationship between the Zhao family and the Xiangfu has always been very stiff, not to mention the last time Zhao Zhixiang and Du Chun were discovered in the flower house together.

Now the person in front of you took the initiative to come over and talk to him, Du Qingheng's head was raised high, "This is my third sister."

"It turned out to be the third lady. I knew that Xiangfu was always very good to concubines, but I didn't want to send two concubines over even this occasion. This kind of tolerance and demeanor is really the style of Xiangfu." Zhao Ling Du Qingheng's expression changed drastically.

In Zhao Ling's words, it is clear that she is mocking her for being a concubine, but even if she is a concubine, she is also a member of the Xiangfu, no matter how noble than Zhao Ling.

"Sister, what are you talking about? A few of us are standing here, who can tell the difference between concubines and concubines?" Du Qingheng said with a smile on his own temper.

"You!" Sure enough, after Du Qingheng said so, Zhao Ling's temper came up. Zhao Ling's appearance is not bad, but she hasn't been extravagant since she was a child. If she didn't have such a gorgeous dress, others would think she was a shameless maid.

Seeing Zhao Ling's annoyance, Du Qingheng said, "Sister, don't want to be angry. Today is in the royal family. It's not like your house. You can do whatever you want." Her eyes were cold and she stared at Zhao Ling.

Hearing this, Zhao Ling squeezed his fist secretly and walked away.

"Thank you second elder sister." Du Qingyao was embarrassed just now by Zhao Ling's words. Fortunately, Du Qingheng's tough attitude, otherwise she would really have no face to stay here anymore.

Du Qingheng said sadly, "I'm not trying to help you. You are also a member of the Xiangfu, can you not just be so conscientious, let others look at it, and only talk about father's gossip." If it weren't for Song Qingyu's confession today. She doesn't want to conflict with others, she is afraid that she will really quarrel with Zhao Ling. Now it seems that Song Qingyu has the foresight.

"Yes..." Seeing Du Qingyao lower his head, Du Qingheng shook his head.

This scene fell in the ears of a court lady who was pretending to sweep the floor. She looked at Du Qingheng and quietly exited Wangyue Tower.

"Oh? Is that girl really so decent?" The queen leaned aside leisurely, watching her report.

The maid nodded, "The queen mother ordered the servant to stare at the lady of the Xiangfu mansion, and the servant did not dare to relax for a moment. Since the lady came in, she was indeed decent everywhere, even if the lady beside her complimented, there was no trace of her face. The color of pride. In the process of fighting with the daughter of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, she was also very generous." The court lady replied in a regular manner.

The queen's face was somewhat satisfied, "Mo Xiang, what do you think?"

Mo Xiang was taken aback, then smiled, "The person appointed by the empress is naturally excellent."

"Do you also think that this girl is inferior to that Du Xuechun?" The queen raised her brows and immediately understood Mo Xiang's implication.

"Miss Du's thoughts are delicate, she is not comparable to this class, but her life is not good, and she can't profit for the prince." Mo Xiang's words were pertinent, expressing his love for Du Xuechun, and did not offend the queen.

The queen nodded, with a hint of embarrassment on her face, "That girl knows a lot and behaves appropriately. It's a pity, if it wasn't for her life experience, I would let Ming'er marry her as his wife that day. Just, This Du Qingheng and Du Xuechun are in the same blood line. If you want to come, you can't miss it." She muttered to herself, and she didn't know if these words were comforting her.

At this time, in the Wangyue Tower.

"The empress has a purpose, please move to Kunning Palace to participate in the palace election." A lady in charge said.

Suddenly, the surroundings boiled.

"I don't know what to test for this time, I'm a little nervous."

"What are you nervous about? It's just a palace election. You think you are the champion in the exam, and you still have to write the lyrics?"

"Yes, the empress empress mainly depends on her appearance and tolerance this time, whether she is worthy of her Royal Highness."

Listening to the chirping of the beautiful girls around, Du Qingheng's lips twitched, and she was the only one who had personally taken care of the empress. Coming today is just a cutscene. As long as she doesn't have too many problems, she is the only candidate for the prince.

Soon, I arrived at Kunning Palace, and the emperor's sedan chair stopped outside. It seems that the emperor personally checked it today.

Du Qingheng took a deep breath and looked around the palace. In the future, when Feng Xuanming ascends the throne, this palace will be where he wants to live.

"Liu Ruyan, the daughter of the Taiwei, and Du Qingheng, the daughter of the prime minister, attended!" the palace maid shouted.

Hearing his name, Du Qingheng smiled slightly, and he was about to walk inside. Who knows, he was stopped by Du Qingyao, "Sister, why don't I accompany you in."

These words made Du Qingheng frowned. "The emperor and the queen announced that it was me. What are you going to do?" Now, Du Qingheng can't help but doubt Du Qingyao's intentions.

Du Qingyao lowered her head, "Sister, I may not see the emperor once in my life. I just want to use my sister's light to get a glimpse of the heavens, and treat me as my sister's maid. Isn't it good to accompany my sister in?"

Seeing this picture of Du Qingyao, Du Qingheng couldn't help but sneered, "This is the selfishness you want to follow me today?"

Du Qingyao was a little embarrassed, "My younger sister knows that one of the princes must be a elder sister. My younger sister just wants to show her face in front of the emperor. If there are other princes in the future..."

"Don't think about it, why would other princes marry you as the royal family?" Du Qingheng's words were a bit harsh, making Du Qingyao blushing immediately.

Mo Xiang, who was standing outside the door, seemed to perceive the strangeness here. Seeing Du Qingyao standing in front of Du Qingheng with her head down, she said, "Why Miss Du Second hasn't gone in yet? The emperor and empress empress are waiting in a hurry."

Only then did Du Qingheng react, with a somewhat apologetic smile, and said, "My sister is ignorant, I'll ask her a few words, and then go in."

"Sister? Which lady is this from Xiangfu?" Mo Xiang looked at Du Qingyao. Seeing Du Qingyao keep his head down, he could not help but improve his impression of Du Qingyao.

Hearing Mo Xiang initiative to ask Du Qingyao, Du Qingheng's face became stiff, but he still said, "This is my third sister, this time I will take her to the palace for a tour."

"So that's the case." Mo Xiangming cleared up, and then said, "Since it's just passed on to be the prime minister's daughter, it's better to go in with Miss Du San."

"How can this be done?" Du Qingheng's voice was a little anxious, causing Mo Xiang to look at her a few more times.
