After marrying the heirless prince, I gave birth to three children

Chapter 388: Attacking a woman?!

With the two children present, Xiao Ji did not ask Hu Yanyu about his purpose of coming. It was only after breakfast when he was on his way to the Yangxin Palace to handle government affairs that Xiao Ji asked about this matter.

Xie Yao naturally told Hu Yanyu all his plans directly.

Xiao Ji said, "I thought Yaoyao would agree without hesitation." After the two spent a long time together, Xiao Ji also understood.

His daughter Yaoyao is always particularly indulgent to pretty girls.

Xie Yao said, "It's all your Majesty's fault."

Xiao Ji raised his eyebrows, "Blame me?"

"Your Majesty, you always attract so many people."

Xiao Ji laughed angrily, "The Queen is wise. It's not me who attracts the bees and butterflies, it's my status as the Emperor."

When he was an unpopular prince, not so many people were targeting him. In fact, everyone avoided him as much as possible, fearing that they would board his sinking ship.

"Your Majesty is right." Xie Yao nodded and said, "I'm afraid this matter is not over yet."

Yesterday, His Majesty took a tough stance, and with the presence of envoys from the Northern Frontier, the court officials restrained themselves a little and did not strongly support Huyan Yu at the banquet.

But now in the court of Xia State, those court officials have not and will not give up.

It's possible that the old things will be brought up again today, and it will never end.

Xiao Ji also thought of it, holding Xie Yao's hand and rubbing it in his palm, "I'll take care of these things."

Xie Yao was immediately happy, and she held hands with Xiao Ji and headed towards the Yangxin Palace.

Just as Xie Yao and Xiao Ji expected.

As soon as the two arrived at the Yangxin Palace, a minister submitted a memorial, which suggested that Hu Yanyu should be accepted and canonized as the imperial concubine.

He also reported it to a high level, saying that the matter concerned the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and accepting Hu Yanyu would also reassure the northern border and ensure peace on the border.

Xie Yao only took one look and laughed in anger, "This memorial says that if Your Majesty doesn't marry Princess Huyan, Your Majesty will be a sinner for all eternity."

Xiao Ji hurriedly offered tea, then took the memorial from Xie Yao and flipped through it before saying, "Zhang Han from the Ministry of Rites, I remember him."

"Sinan."

Xiao Ji called out, "Master Zhang has a childhood sweetheart, right?"

His meaning was very clear, to make this matter public.

I haven't even figured out what's happening in my own backyard yet, and you're meddling in his affairs.

Xie Yao blinked, "My childhood sweetheart's mistress?"

"Yes." Xiao Ji nodded. "He came from a poor family, but the Minister of Personnel took a fancy to him and asked if he would marry him."

"He concealed his engagement with his childhood sweetheart, married the Shangshu's daughter, and secretly kept her in his outer residence."

Xie Yao said, "He himself sells himself for fame, no wonder he also hopes that Your Majesty will do the same."

"What the Queen said..." Xiao Ji was helpless. "It's a bit harsh, but the truth is there."

The emperor and empress rejected Zhang Han's memorial, and that same day Zhang Han's concubine stopped his carriage on the avenue outside the palace gate.

Barely half a year into their marriage, the news that Zhang Han had a mistress spread throughout the court and the country.

That afternoon, Zhu Qing came in and reported, "The wife of the Minister of Rites wants to see you."

The Minister of Rites was Zhang Han, who had married the daughter of the Minister of Personnel and also kept a concubine. However, Xie Yao was indeed surprised that the daughter of the Minister of Personnel came to the palace to ask for an audience with her.

"Announce." Xie Yao said.

The daughter of the Minister of Personnel dressed as a woman. She was not very beautiful, but she had an outstanding temperament.

But Xie Yao looked at her face with a slightly gloomy look in her eyes. Although she had makeup on, the bruises on her cheeks were faintly visible.

Is this... Zhang Han taking action?

What the hell?! He attacked the innocent wife!

"Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen." Lu Qingyun stepped forward and bowed apologetically.

Xie Yao personally stepped forward, helped her up, and looked at her cheek, "Did Zhang Han do it?"
