A faint incense ignited in the luxurious and atmospheric palace, and Concubine Xia was wearing a gorgeous palace dress leaning against the soft collapse.

The second wife and her two daughters sat aside and chatted about family matters.

"The Imperial Concubine... It's not that we are unwilling to help you. You were the emperor's woman. The emperor is gone. As a woman, you should..." The second wife wanted to speak but stopped, but everyone could understand the meaning behind it.

It was to instigate Concubine Xia to die!

Concubine Xia squinted her eyes and then squinted her eyes lightly, pretending not to understand, but the second wife couldn't give up. She had been concerned about Concubine Xia's identity and respected her much, but now, Concubine Xia can be regarded as a concubine of any kind, and the Emperor Xihai is already dead.

Moreover, she was demoted to the Marquis when she was dying, so naturally Concubine Xia was considered a noble concubine at most.

She is not as high as the second wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Big sister, you are not waiting for Dad to give you millions of taels of silver to redeem yourself, right?"

The person who spoke was the third lady of the Xia family. She was fifteen years old and looked charming. She only heard her snorting coldly: "You are the eldest daughter of the Xia family. How can you be so selfish? Why can't you learn from Concubine De? For the sake of your reputation, you went early."

Immediately afterwards, the fourth lady of the Xia family spoke again: "Sister I'm right, older sister, you will harm the Xia family like this."

Seeing her two sisters start to mock her with words, Concubine Xia covered the sharpness in her eyes and said lightly: "The palace concubine committed suicide is a serious crime. You want to die, but I want my mother to live two more years."

"You!" The three of them changed their faces.

Miss Xia Si hid in the arms of the second wife with a grievance: "Mom, if the eldest sister is not dead, what should I do with my third sister?"

They are also at the age of being a kiss. Could it be that Concubine Xia really wants to go back to the Xia family? Isn’t this a disaster for them?

Concubine Xia sneered and glanced at the second wife: "I have already planned to find a better future for the two sisters."

"What are you going to do?" The second lady looked at Concubine Xia with a vigilant look and threatened coldly. "I warn you, if you dare to do something wrong, I will definitely not spare your mother and your brother."

When Concubine Xia suppressed her anger when she heard this, she sat up slowly, and her charming eyes aroused a smile: "What's the second lady anxious about? I will not harm my two sisters. I just want to survive."

"You can't even protect yourself, what other way out?" Miss Xia San curled her lips.

"After entering the palace, I have to fight with countless concubines. Now Xiao Jingheng has become the emperor. In the West Sea, there is no concubine yet. At the southern end, Xiao Jingheng's rear throne is still hanging in the air. The third sister and fourth sister Bingxue are smart and beautiful. As long as my father is willing to support him, he will definitely win over Xiao Jingheng."

Concubine Xia said as she pulled out a phoenix hairpin from her head and inserted it into Miss Xia San's temples. She took off a high-quality jade bracelet and put it on Miss Xia Si's wrist.

"For the sake of the two sisters, the emperor will definitely be fine for me to be a concubine to liven up for his old age."

When the two looked at each other, their faces flushed, and they changed from an aggressive and unruly daughter to a shy girl.

At the throne ceremony, they had seen Xiao Jingheng's appearance and the appearance of heaven and man from afar, and they fell in love with him at first sight.

"Big sister, are you... all you said seriously?" Miss Xia San asked nervously.

Concubine Xia nodded: "That's natural. Xiao Jingheng's throne is unstable and he still needs his father's help. As long as his father makes a request and then recommends it by our palace, he will definitely succeed."

Hearing this, Miss Xia San and Miss Xia Si were overjoyed, but the second wife said half-believingly: "Xiao Jingheng may not be able to accept the harem..."

"Second wife, what Xiao Jingheng looks down on is the concubines left by the previous dynasty. At the southern end, Xiao Jingheng also has more than a dozen concubines in his harem. He is a normal man and always needs it." said Concubine Xia.

The second wife then dispelled her doubts and only thought that Concubine Xia was willing to pave the way for her two daughters to save her life.

"Big sister, can you see the emperor?" Miss Xia San asked impatiently, even her tone was much gentler than before.

"Of course, there will always be a chance to meet in the harem. My father is the leader of all officials. As long as he is willing to deal with it, he will be at least a concubine." Concubine Xia touched her hair with her hands, pretending to be longing: "Maybe there will be a chance to be the queen."

"Really?" Miss Xia San's eyes shone and she had already begun to fantasize about being the queen mother to be the world.

Concubine Xia smiled and gave a wink at the palace maid. Soon the palace maid came with tea and snacks.

"Ishinomiya brought the second wife and two sisters on the excuse of being discomfort, and sent a letter to my father. I guess my father will arrive in a while, so let's wait."

At this moment, there was no sign of resentment from Concubine Xia's eyes, and it was as peaceful as a cup of warm water.

When the second wife saw her drinking tea and eating snacks, she thought to herself that Concubine Xia’s mother and brother were still in her hands and would not dare to do anything randomly, so she put aside her guard and drank a cup of tea.

In fact, she wanted to drink it just now, maybe because she had said too much, which made her mouth dry, so she picked up the tea and drank half a cup. Perhaps the tea in the palace was too sweet, and the second wife couldn't help but add another cup.

"Put milk tea to the third and fourth ladies, it must be frozen." Concubine Xia ordered.

"yes."

Soon the palace maid brought milk tea again, adding fresh petals. Miss Xia San and Miss Xia Si had no intention of drinking tea. They surrounded Concubine Xia from left to right: "When will the emperor come?"

"The emperor will not come to the harem to visit this palace." Before Concubine Xia finished speaking, the two changed their faces. However, the second wife spoke openly and said a few words to the two: "I will discuss this matter with your father after I go back, so don't be anxious."

Miss Xia San hummed and sat beside the second wife: "Why aren't you in a hurry? It's not just us who care about it, there must be other family ladies."

"What are you afraid of? My father is the prime minister, who dares to fight with you?" Xia Guifei said comfortingly: "The Yao family does not have a suitable daughter to enter the palace. If the father doesn't give up, who dares to enter the palace?"

Miss Xia San was very satisfied with this. She reached out and picked up the tea and started drinking it. Miss Xia Si on the side was not willing to be outdone: "I want to enter the palace too. Third sister, you are not allowed to compete with me."

Miss Xia San didn't take Miss Xia Si seriously at all. The two argued for a few words. The second wife scolded her with a cold face. Then the two stopped talking. Concubine Xia raised her hand and held a cup of tea and handed it to Miss Xia Si: "Sister Four, don't be angry, they are all their own sisters, drink a sip of tea to calm down."

Miss Xia Si hummed and took the tea, and took two sips under the persuasion of Concubine Xia.

At this time, the palace maids outside the palace reported that Prime Minister Xia had arrived. Concubine Xia stood up slowly and stared at the man entering the door in a calm manner. She was full of elegant temperament and was not angry. After entering the door, he first saw Miss Xia San and Miss Xia Si. After confirming that the two were correct, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

This scene was seen in Concubine Xia's eyes and her heart was mostly cold.

Miss Xia San and Miss Xia Si couldn't wait to surround Prime Minister Xia and began to chatter. After explaining their intentions, Prime Minister Xia directly refused: "As soon as you enter the palace gate is as deep as the sea, you two are simple and not suitable for entering the palace..."
