The legitimate daughter is reborn, her life is still with her

This woman has an oval face and willow leaves and thin eyebrows. She does not wear complicated palace clothes. She wears a white smoked plum blossom skirt and a thin blouse with lavender brocade and silver trim. Her dark hair is pulled up into a high bun, and the jewelry on her head is also One or two are embellished in it, making it look somewhat casual but elegant. They are lightly painted with powder, have long and thick eyelashes, and a pair of eyes full of spring water with a smile, which makes people very friendly.

"Everyone in the palace says that I have a calm temperament, but I don't know that sister, you are the most secretive and have the most stable temperament." The woman in aqua red palace clothes said with a half-smile, her tone was somewhat impatient.

This woman is none other than the Concubine De who invited Chen Xing and the others today. She is also the biological mother of the fifth prince Zhou Wang and the eighth prince. Having two princes in the harem is extremely enviable and even very disliked. Hated.

But she has always been low-key and rarely talks. Therefore, other concubines who want to cause trouble are just like punching cotton wool. As time goes by, and the status of the two princes becomes more and more stable, they become less and less. People will cause trouble again.

If nothing happened to King Zhou suddenly, Concubine De could still continue to pretend!

"My sister is joking. My sister is just older. Jin'er is already married. There is no one to talk to my sister about new things outside. Now that my sister is with young people like you, it is inevitable that she doesn't know what to say." Another person said. The concubine in a white dress smiled.

She was the virtuous concubine who gave birth to the emperor's eldest daughter, Xie Yuanjin.

Concubine De laughed and said, "My sister is joking. Even if the princess is married, it will not be easy for my sister to know interesting things."

"My sister is really good at joking..." Concubine Xian said with a slight smile. Then she thought of today's business and started talking differently, saying: "After all, I am getting older and my body is even more tired. If His Majesty hadn't asked us to come, Sister, I really want to hide in the palace and be lazy."

Concubine De was a little impatient with Concubine Xian's attitude and was too lazy to deal with it anymore. She asked the palace maid behind her, "When will they arrive? I really thought that I was about to enter the Duke's palace. I didn't even know the etiquette. I kept you waiting for a long time!"

"I heard that the Marquis of Jing'an lives in a separate courtyard in the city. Different from the previous location of the Marquis' Mansion, that courtyard is far away from the palace." Concubine Xian still smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister, I think it will be here soon."

Concubine De's eyes darkened slightly and she said, "Sister, I'm always thinking of others. By the way, Your Majesty just wants us to invite Mrs. Jing'an Hou and Miss Tuesday. Why are you also summoning Miss Zhao?"

"After all, it is His Majesty's order. We will just follow it."

Seeing that she couldn't get any useful information from Concubine Xian, Concubine De snorted and looked away. Not to mention it was disrespectful. Even if Concubine De had only one prince, it would be better than a concubine with a princess!

This is true regardless of the harem or the palace with a certain status. Sons always have a higher status than daughters. Mother is more valuable based on her son, so the status of the woman who gave birth to a son is also higher.

Today's Concubine De is very different from before. She will make some sarcastic remarks when caught. Although Concubine Xian didn't show anything on her face, Concubine Xian's maid was a little dissatisfied. Just as she was about to remind Concubine Xian, she saw the maid leading the way come in. .

Concubine De asked: "Coming?"

The palace maid nodded to Concubine De, and after receiving her consent, she turned and looked outside, and saw Chen Xing, Zhou Jiaqing, and Zhao Yunzhen walking in.

The palace maid then introduced Chen Xing and the others who were the empresses in front of them. Zhou Jiaqing and Zhao Yunzhen followed Chen Xing in front and bowed their heads to greet the two empresses. After seeing the ceremony, they heard a somewhat mean voice. Came the message: "Which of you is the woman who is engaged to Duke Xu, please raise your head and let me have a look."

Zhou Jiaqing raised his head and let the two of them look at each other. Chen Xing wanted to turn aside to block Zhou Jiaqing's gaze, but Concubine Xian said with a smile: "Yes, she is really good-looking. She and Xu Guogong are a perfect match. Before we got engaged, I heard that Miss Tuesday is a talented child, and she was praised by His Majesty at the last palace banquet. She is a woman who can attract the attention of the Duke, and Miss Tuesday is also very good."

"Long time no see, Concubine Xian." Zhou Jiaqing said lukewarmly to Concubine Xian, who was constantly praising her.

Even though she was a virtuous concubine, she was a little surprised by Zhou Jiaqing's inexplicable words!

Although the Concubine Xian was one of the four concubines, she was not favored. Her appearance was not the most prosperous, and her talents and talents were average for the family. Not only because she had a daughter, but especially because of her character, she was generous and polite, neither fighting nor grabbing, which satisfied the emperor. Then she was made a concubine.

It's that simple, and you stand out from the crowd of women!

Zhou Jiaqing knew, however, that she was by no means the seemingly harmless woman she looked like on the surface!

Because she, Concubine Xian, was Xie Yuanfu’s later stepmother!

After the death of the crown prince, it became more and more dangerous for the princes to compete for the throne. Among them, Xie Yuanfu, who had the least chance of winning, gradually showed his ability to govern the country after removing the king of Zhou and others. The courtiers commented that no matter how talented he was, he could not compete with his biological mother who had a palace maid. How capable can a person be without the support of his mother's family?

At this time, the emperor was seriously ill, but Concubine Xian recognized Xie Yuanfu as his son and silenced the courtiers. Although Concubine Xian's intentions were obvious, Xie Yuanfu's wings were full at this time, and with Concubine Xian's backing, she was even more powerful!

It's just that the two had hooked up secretly. After she became Xie Yuanfu's concubine, Concubine Xian agreed to Xie Yuanfu's request upon seeing this. Xie Yuanfu did not hide it from her, so the news inside and outside the palace was transmitted between her and Concubine Xian People, Zhou Jiaqing was deceived by Concubine Xian's innocent appearance, and always thought that what she did was the most righteous thing!

In the beginning, she and Concubine Xian were as close as mother and daughter. Until she was thrown into the cold palace, she had no idea how terrifying this wolf in human skin was!

Turning around, she could share the same hatred as the later queen, watching her decline step by step without any reminder. Zhou Jiaqing didn't dare to recall how many tricks she had done in it!

She thought that Concubine Xian was her salvation in the harem, but didn’t she know that Concubine Xian was the sharp sword that pushed her into the abyss?

They have no grievances, so why are they doing this?

That's why Zhou Jiaqing agreed to Nan'an's request, and the bits and pieces of information she got surprised her. Concubine Xian was not from Xiyun, but an out-and-out Eastern Qin!

It's because she was too stupid in her last life and never knew the past events of Xiyun and Dongqin, but she didn't believe that Concubine Xian knew nothing about Xie Yuanfu's life experience!

She still couldn't help but want to ask, why did Concubine Xian do this?

"I don't even know when Miss Zhou and Sister Xianfei met." Concubine De asked.

Zhou Jiaqing paused, brought his thoughts back, quickly lowered his head to hide the hatred in his eyes, raised his head again, with a docile look, and replied: "When I was young, my father brought my sister and me into the palace. I went to a banquet and saw the Concubine Xian in the palace."
