After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn

"Your Majesty!" Xiao Chengji walked in and knelt on the ground. "Your son wishes you a happy new year. I wish you everything goes well in the new year and may you always smile happily!"

"Get up quickly!" Zheng Xiyan walked forward with a kind and gentle look on her face, bent down and helped him up.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you! I wish you a happy new year. May our country of Daliang be prosperous and our people live in peace!" Xiao Chengyi's expression was serious and his voice was loud.

"Get up!" Xiao Chengji chuckled.

"Thank you, my dear brother!"

"How is it? Is it going well?" Zheng Xiyan asked. Xiao Chengji went to the Taimiao early in the morning to worship the ancestors of Daliang and pray for good weather and peace in the country in the coming year.

"Don't worry, mother. Everything is going well!" Xiao Chengji replied with a smile.

"That's good!" Zheng Xiyan smiled slightly.

Xiao Chengji looked around for a week but didn't see Xiao Shuyue, so he asked, "Where's Shuer? Isn't she staying in bed again?"

"I'm up and washing up." Zheng Xiyan had just finished speaking when the wet nurse brought Xiao Shuyue in, "Mother..." Xiao Shuyue was still a little dazed, as if she had not woken up yet.

Xiao Chengyi walked forward, holding Xiao Shuyue's hand.

"Are you ready?" Zheng Xiyan said, "Your Majesty, everything is ready!" Biluo said in a deep voice.

"Well, let's go!" Xiao Shuyue had already walked up to her and lay directly on her knees, "Mother, I'm so sleepy..."

Zheng Xiyan pinched her little face and said softly, "Okay, you can't sleep now!" Soon all the palace officials would go to the Weiyang Palace to pay their respects, and the ladies outside the palace would also come to pay their respects.

"Hmm..." Xiao Shuyue was very dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and Your Highnesses, the meal is ready. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and Your Highnesses, please come and have your meal." Shuang Ning walked in respectfully and bowed slightly.

"Okay." Zheng Xiyan nodded slightly, "Let's eat." Then she took Xiao Shuyue to the dining hall.

After the mother and her two children had breakfast, Xiao Chengji said goodbye. He had to go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to accept the congratulations of the court officials. Xiao Chengyi also followed him, and only Xiao Shuyue stayed in the Weiyang Palace.

"Your Majesty, the dowager concubines and imperial concubines have all arrived." Zi Rui reported.

"Got it. I'll be there right away!" Zheng Xiyan's face became slightly serious, and she slowly stood up and walked out.

Biluo held Xiao Shuyue's hand and followed behind.

Everyone had arrived at the main hall of Weiyang Palace. "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health!"

"Your son pays respects to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed with good health and happiness!"

"Everyone get up!" Zheng Xiyan said in a deep voice, then slowly sat on the Phoenix Throne, and Xiao Shuyue sat on a chair beside her.

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

"Thank you, Queen Mother!"

Zheng Xiyan's eyes swept over them one by one, and then she spoke with dignity: "It's so fast! Another year has passed. A lot of things have happened in the palace in this year, but fortunately, God has favored Daliang, and now it's all over."

"Your Majesty is young and has just ascended the throne. We are the only ones in the harem. As long as you behave yourself, Your Majesty and I will never treat you unfairly. But if anyone provokes you or violates the palace rules, I will never show mercy. Do you understand?"

The faces of both Concubine Xian and Concubine Yi were inevitably tinged with anger, but they only dared to lower their heads and did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.

"Yes, I will obey your command!"

At this time, Biluo brought the palace servants in to serve tea. Zheng Xiyan's gaze fell meaningfully on Lu Chuyi, with a slight smile on her lips.

Concubine De picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said in a gentle voice: "This tea has the fragrance of plum blossoms. Did Your Majesty use the snow that fell on the plum blossoms to make this tea?"

Concubine Xu, who was standing by, picked up the tea and took another sip. After savoring it carefully, she smiled and agreed, "Sister Wen is right. It does seem to have the subtle fragrance of plum blossoms."

Zheng Xiyan smiled slightly, "Yes, Concubine De is right. The water for making tea is the snow that fell on the plum blossoms during the heavy snow a few days ago."

"No wonder I feel this tea has a particularly strong fragrance. It turns out it is brewed with the snow from plum blossoms. Or maybe the Empress Dowager knows how to appreciate tea!" Concubine Li echoed.

Lu Chuyi looked a little absent-minded, and her attention was not on the tea. Zheng Xiyan noticed it and asked with a smile, "Concubine Lu, what do you think of this tea?"

Lu Chuyi didn't come back to her senses. Fortunately, Yun'er beside her tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Your Majesty... The Queen Mother is asking you?"

"Your Majesty!" Lu Chuyi bowed quickly, a trace of panic flashing across her face, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Zheng Xiyan looked at her with a subtle look and chuckled, "I'm asking you, what do you think of this tea?"
