After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

The Queen actually held the palace banquet in Wenyuan Pavilion!

A hint of coldness flashed across Xiao Xuetang's eyes...

The Wenyuan Pavilion is located behind the Wenhua Hall. When it was built, it was modeled after the Tianyi Pavilion of a Jiangnan Jun family and was intended to be a royal library.

At that time, the person in charge of the construction was none other than Old Master Xie!

When my grandfather was in charge of the construction of Wenyuan Pavilion, it was supposed to be beneficial to Dayin's cultural heritage, but he did not expect that it would become the fuse for him to be impeached and dismissed from office by Prime Minister Wang.

In order to humiliate the Xie family, Queen Wang directly converted the Wenyuan Pavilion, which was the result of my grandfather's hard work, into an extremely luxurious palace banquet venue. If it weren't for Lin Xun's secret intervention, my grandfather's life's hard work in compiling books would have been burned by Queen Wang!

Later, when my grandfather was pardoned and returned to Beijing, Lin Xun returned his collection of books. The old tutor, who had always been stubborn, personally bowed to the young regent and expressed his gratitude in front of everyone.

It was because of this favor that when Lin Shaoshu was planning to kill Lin Xun in the Lishan Palace with her, Xiao Xuetang hesitated at the critical moment...

Even though she knew that Lin Xun's existence would threaten the imperial power, if Lin Shaoshu wanted to be an effective emperor he must not be constrained by such a person.

But... Lin Xun, does he really deserve to die?

That year, the assassination attempt at Mount Li failed, and it was also the beginning of her formal break with Emperor and Empress Lin Shaoshu.

Looking back now, Xiao Xuetang realized that she had been confused for most of her previous life.

One wrong step, all wrong. The only right thing I did was not to harm Lin Xun!

When most people heard that Queen Wang would hold the banquet in Wenyuan Pavilion, they did not find it strange.

The Queen is the mother of a country. Most of the important palace banquets are hosted by her. The more important the palace banquet is, the Queen will definitely arrange it in Wenyuan Pavilion!

Some noble ladies who were ignorant of the world had long heard that Wenyuan Pavilion was an extremely beautiful place. They entered the palace today by imperial decree, originally thinking that they were only attending an ordinary palace banquet. However, they did not expect that the Queen would attach such great importance to the event and set up the Wenyuan Pavilion. They all showed expectant eyes.

Only a few ladies from aristocratic families who knew about the feud between the Wang and Xie families, and the past between Queen Wang and Concubine Xie in the Lin Palace, looked at Xiao Xuetang and her daughter with a subtle look in their eyes...

Queen, this is just a warning to them!

No wonder, the queen hated the Xie family to the core.

Although Concubine Xie died and the Xie family was exiled back to their hometown, the shame of Concubine Xie being the wife and the Queen being a concubine in the palace still remained.

Not to mention that the Eastern Palace suffered a great loss at the hands of the Third Prince yesterday...

"No wonder the Queen held a banquet as usual after such a big incident yesterday. It turns out she wanted to vent her anger on someone."

"Now Xie and Xiao Xuetang are both finished."

The ladies below began to whisper, and most of them were watching how Xiao Xuetang and the Xie mother and daughter would respond with an attitude of enjoying a good show.

At this time, Xiao Xuetang was fine, and soon she concealed the surprise in her eyes and returned to normal; but Xie's face was pale, and even her powder could not cover it. She grabbed Xiao Xuetang's hand tightly and said, "Tangtang, what does the Queen mean by this? What should we do?"

Xiao Xuetang...

Last night Qiyue praised Xie for her decisiveness and efficiency, saying that she seemed like a different person, but she didn't expect that she was still so naive.

Well, you can't expect a cowardly person to become calm overnight.

and……

Xiao Xuetang was very suspicious that it was Xiao Yu who gave Xie's advice when he returned home to reorganize the family last night!

Xiao Xuetang sighed, fearing that Xie would lose her composure in public and give the Queen a handle, so she whispered, "Don't worry, mother. You are a first-rank lady, and the Queen will not do anything to you."

Mrs. Xie said anxiously, "Silly child, I am worried about you. Your engagement with the Third Prince..."

In the past, Xie always thought that the engagement between Xiao Xuetang and Lin Shaoshu was a great thing and would become Xiao Xuetang's life-saving talisman in Kyoto.

But now, looking at this smiling queen with a dagger hidden in her heart, and the strange atmosphere in Fengyi Palace, Xie suddenly realized that she was so naive before that it was ridiculous...

Xiao Xuetang met Xie's worried gaze, frowned, and said nothing.

But the queen noticed something strange between the mother and daughter. She cast a sharp gaze over them and said with a smile, "Is Madam Yong'an Marquis dissatisfied with the place I arranged?"

Xie's knees went weak. If Xiao Xuetang hadn't been supporting her from behind, she would have probably collapsed from fear.

At this time, Xiao Xuetang could only kneel down with Xie and defend Xie, saying, "Your Majesty, mother has no such intention."

The queen lowered her eyes and looked at the face that was 30% similar to Xie Wanyue, kneeling in front of her with an uneasy look, and she felt indescribably happy in her heart!

Back then, the Wang family was of humble origin, and she could only enter the palace as a concubine. At that time, she thought that as long as she gave birth to a legitimate eldest son, she could become the Princess of Lin...

But no one would have expected that within just one year, the emperor would fall in love with Xie Wanyue.

The Xie family is of noble origin and is very prominent in Kyoto. Not only can she become the Princess of Lin, she can even become the Princess of the Crown Princess.

However, Emperor Huaimin, who was already the crown prince at that time, had already married, and the crown princess at that time was the legitimate daughter of the Jiangnan Jun family...

Although Jun was weak and sickly, his family background was there.

The Empress Dowager then arranged for Xie Wanyue to be married to Prince Lin.

However, a few years later, Xie Wanyue gave birth to the prince's legitimate son, and her child was forced to become a bastard.

And she could only watch helplessly as the husband who originally belonged to her was loving and harmonious with another woman. How could she not hate him!

But that's life, things are unpredictable.

Later, the Xie family lost the emperor's favor and gradually declined. The situation in the court became unpredictable, but the Xie family members held on to their ridiculous integrity and refused to go along with the crowd.

Eventually, the Wang family rose and replaced the Xie family.

And after decades of being humble, she finally replaced Xie Wanyue and took back the position of princess that originally belonged to her!

Queen Wang looked down at Xie who was kneeling on the ground, thinking about the past events, and was slightly absent-minded.

Xie and Xiao Xuetang were still kneeling on the ground, and Xie didn't dare to move at all.

Ye Jin looked at Xiao Xuetang and Xie with a gloating look on his face, feeling extremely happy...

Humph, no matter how arrogant Xiao Xuetang is in the Marquis' Mansion, he has no choice but to kneel down obediently in front of the Queen!

It is absolutely wonderful that the Queen has arranged the banquet to be held at Wenyuan Pavilion today.

This means... the Queen has shown murderous intent, Xiao Xuetang is dead!

It was only after the palace maids around her reminded her that Queen Wang, not wanting to be branded as being harsh on the families of important officials, remembered to ask Xie and Xiao Xuetang to stand up.

"I just said a few jokes, madam, there is no need to be so alarmed."

Queen Wang had always wanted to maintain her dignified and virtuous image, so she naturally would not embarrass Xie in public, but in her eyes, there was regret...

Unfortunately, Xie married into a high-ranking family and had an imperial decree, so she could not be summoned to the palace often to suffer humiliation.

but……

Daughter pays mother’s debt!

When Queen Wang looked at Xiao Xuetang, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, but she said with a dignified smile on her face: "You must be bored after accompanying me for so long, let's go now."

Seeing Queen Wang standing up, before the palace people around her could react, Ye Jin couldn't wait to step forward and serve her...
