The old lady quickly welcomed the emperor and empress into the house and had someone serve tea.

Therefore, Prince Rong and his family naturally could not leave.

"I didn't know that the emperor and the empress had come. I was rude. Please forgive me." The old lady bowed to the emperor and the empress and admitted her mistake.

Naturally, Mu Changlin and others also pleaded guilty.

"No problem, no problem." Emperor Zhou Wen waved his hand, smiling casually, "I came here uninvited and frightened the old lady and the ministers."

"It's my fault." The Queen walked to the old lady with a dignified and gentle smile, "After meeting the Crown Prince's Consort last time, I felt that we were very compatible."

"Today happened to be the day when the emperor and all the ministers were on holiday, so I casually mentioned this to the emperor. Then the emperor suddenly had an idea and took me out of the palace in disguise to come to the marquis' mansion."

"Old Madam, please don't blame me for coming here uninvited."

"I am so humbled. It is an honor for the Marquis' Mansion and a blessing for Zhimiao to be remembered by Her Majesty." The old lady quickly saluted to the Queen.

The queen naturally hurried to support her.

"Zhi Miao, come and thank the Queen." The old lady waved at Xu Zhi Miao.

Xu Zhimiao hurried forward and saluted the queen, "Your Majesty, I greet you. Thank you for thinking of me."

"My child," the queen smiled lovingly, took Xu Zhimiao's hand and patted it affectionately, "I'm sorry that you were wronged by Concubine Yue's incident last time. Today, in addition to coming to see you, I'm also here to thank you on behalf of Concubine Yue."

"Your Majesty is terrified," Xu Zhimiao quickly bowed, "Your Majesty has no grievances, this is all due to the grace of the Emperor and the Empress."

"Qiqing, you really chose the right wife!" The queen still held Xu Zhimiao's hand, turned to look at Xi, and smiled friendly.

Xi quickly bowed to her and said, "It's all thanks to the great blessing of the Emperor and the Empress."

"I dare not take credit for this." The Queen smiled intriguingly, "The more I look at Zhimiao, the more I like her. If I had such a well-behaved, sensible and beautiful daughter, I would sleep with a smile on my face."

"Your Majesty, you are joking. I am just a rough person." Xu Zhimiao said modestly, "Princess Jiaoyang is much better than me. She is prettier than me, smarter than me, and more knowledgeable than me."

"I don't know anything. It's just my grandmother and mother's preference."

"Look, look!" The queen said with a smile, "This little mouth is really good at making people happy! If my Jiaoyang is as good as she said, I don't have to worry so much."

"As a mother, there are things that you should not worry about." Xi said, "It is said that if you raise a child for a hundred years, you will worry about him for ninety-nine years! Even if they grow up, they are still children in our parents' eyes."

The Queen was chatting and laughing with the Old Lady, Xi and Xu Zhimiao, and simply left the Second House, Concubine Shu and others aside.

When several people saw this, their eyes were filled with hatred, but they did not dare to show it on their faces.

Especially Xu Panyue, she really wanted to cut Xu Zhimiao into pieces.

This damn bitch only knows how to steal her limelight and step on her.

It was like this the last time in the Imperial Palace, and it is still like this now that the Empress has come to the Marquis’ Mansion.

The Queen didn't even glance at her.

But, it doesn't matter. Her mother has a special relationship with the queen. The queen is praising Xu Zhimiao like this just to give face to the old man and Xi family.

After all, the Queen didn't like Xu Zhimiao's mother Ruan Lijin at all. She even hated Ruan Lijin.

As for why she hated Ruan Lijin, Xu Panyue didn't know, but her mother must know.

She had to find a chance to ask her mother.

Since the Queen hated Ruan Lijin, she would definitely not like Xu Zhimiao. Perhaps the Queen did this for her own purpose.

Thinking of this, Xu Panyue's mood naturally became much better.

There are so many people in this world who want Xu Zhimiao dead. Not only her and her mother, but the queen should be one of them.

There are also Concubine Shu and her daughter Li Wanying, and of course her good mother-in-law Han, and Mu Zhi.

It can be said that in this marquisate, except for the people in the first wife's house, everyone else wishes Xu Zhimiao to die.

Emperor Wen of Zhou saw that the empress and the old lady were having a very pleasant conversation, to the point where he could not get a word in, so he naturally called the men out.

There were only a group of women left in the house.

At this moment, Han was on the same side as Concubine Shu.

The two looked at each other and naturally noticed that the queen did not come with the emperor alone, but came with a young woman.

At this moment, the beautiful woman was standing quietly not far from the queen.

From beginning to end, she never said a word, just stood aside with a quiet and elegant smile.

The corners of Han's lips curled up in an intriguing arc, and she glanced at Xu Zhimiao.

I'm afraid that the Queen's praise of her as the best in the world is just a prelude.

The woman who stood beside the Queen without saying a word was the reason why the Queen came to the Marquis' Mansion today.

But Han didn't know this girl. She thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure out whose girl this was.

But the more I look at it, the more familiar it feels.

It seemed like I had seen it somewhere, but for a moment I couldn't remember where.

After exchanging glances with Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu shook her head imperceptibly, indicating that she didn't know him either and couldn't remember.

Han walked to Mu Zhen and asked softly, "Aunt, do you know the woman standing next to the queen?"

Mu Zhen glanced at her nonchalantly and said, "I don't know her. Isn't she the maidservant beside the Queen?"

Palace maid?

Han frowned, with obvious suspicion in his eyes.

She didn't believe what Mu Zhen said. Couldn't she tell whether she was a palace maid or not?

Not to mention that this woman's temperament is far superior to that of a palace maid, even her attire is not what a palace maid should have.

She felt that Mu Zhen knew the woman's identity, but just didn't want to tell her.

Just now, she noticed that Mu Zhen and Xi exchanged a look, as if he was reminding Xi subtly.

Thinking this way, he naturally felt more resentful towards Mu Zhen.

Although they are both aunt-in-law, Mu Zhen is always closer to Xi.

It was like this before she got married, and it was still like this after she got married. Now, whenever she had a chance, she would go to Xi, the eldest sister-in-law, instead of her, the second sister-in-law.

She really can't tell the difference between inside and outside! The one who is marrying into the Rong Palace is their second wife, not the first wife.

In the future, their second branch will replace the first branch and become Marquis Dingyuan.

Since she is so ungrateful, don't blame her for not considering the relationship between us.

"Li Ge, come here and meet Madam Mu and Madam Hou." The queen waved to the woman.
