The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Early in the morning, Yang Qi was called to get up, wash and put on makeup.

Yang Qi was the first one of the generation of the Duke's Mansion to enter the palace. Even if Song Hongwen was unhappy, he was still very concerned about this matter.

The old lady, the Duke, Mrs. Xu, and even Mrs. An had sent people over early in the morning. On the surface, they said they were there to see if there was anyone in the Linhu Courtyard who could help, but in reality, they were probably sent by the old lady and other masters in the mansion to monitor him.

Looking at the radiant self in the mirror, Yang Qi shook his face left and right and looked: "Is this still me?"

Xin Che looked at the somewhat shocked young lady, and said with a smile, "Young lady just doesn't like to put on makeup on weekdays." Yang Qi always felt that applying powder was harmful to her skin. On weekdays, she would at most apply some pearl powder on her face, and she hardly ever used lipstick.

Yang Qi touched her face and said, "How old am I? If I start putting on makeup every day now, it might not be too early." She is now in the prime of her youth and vitality. Even without makeup, her face is fair and rosy.

Today's breakfast was prepared by Nanny Zhu herself, avoiding soup, milk, soy milk and other juicy foods in order to prevent the need to go to the toilet during the journey.

As soon as he got on the carriage, Yang Qi closed his eyes to rest. He got up too early today and now he is still a little sleepy.

If it were a normal day, Nanny Zhu would definitely cover Yang Qi with a blanket, but the clothes Yang Qi was wearing today were from the Embroidered Clothing Pavilion, and she was afraid that if she covered her with a blanket, it would cause wrinkles on the clothes.

When we arrived at the palace gate, eunuchs were already waiting for us with a sedan chair ready.

About half an hour later, Yang Qi was still on the way to the Queen's palace.

It was not until they were close to the Qianqing Palace that the eunuchs carrying the palace sedan put away the sedan, and Yang Qi had no choice but to get off the sedan and start walking.

Although this was Yang Qi's first time in the imperial city, he had already studied the layout of the imperial city. He thought that this place should be not far from the Empress's Palace of Heavenly Purity.

Along the way, Yang Qi was like a quiet little white rabbit, waiting obediently for today's events to be over, not daring to look around casually.

In the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, only a foolish person would look around.

After walking for a while, the palace servant leading the way said, "Aunt Rong Pei, Miss Yang Qi has been brought here."

Yang Qi lowered his head and frowned slightly. Rong Pei was the most capable female official beside the Queen. How could he be so bold as to let Aunt Rong Pei come to greet him in person?

Yang Qi really wanted to look around to see if there was anyone else at Princess Yuan Yi's banquet today? Although curious, Yang Qi was definitely a person who could control his curiosity today and was not interested in things outside.

People outside have been saying that Concubine Nian is doted on, and the palaces inside are extremely luxurious, and it seems that the floors are paved with gold bricks. I wonder what the Empress's Palace of Heavenly Purity is like?

Aunt Rong Pei took Yang Qi with her and asked Yang Qi to wait outside while she went into the house to report.

"Bring her in quickly." A voice sounded, and Yang Qi confirmed his guess. The one who wanted to see him today should not be Princess Yuan Yi. Judging from the situation, it must be the current Queen.

As soon as he entered the palace, Yang Qi saw Princess Yuan Yi and the Queen Mother sitting in their seats chatting and laughing, and he quickly knelt on the ground and bowed deeply.

Yuan Yi smiled and looked at her mother, and the Queen Mother said, "Get up quickly."

When he arrived at the Qianqing Palace on the first day and saw the legendary Empress, Yang Qi couldn't help but feel a little dazed. Is this really reality?

Yuan Yi saw Yang Qi standing up, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Yang Qi: "Sister Yang Qi, we agreed yesterday that we would be together today, and I begged mother as soon as I came back."

When Yang Qi saw Yuan Qi, she finally felt a little more realistic and smiled playfully: "Thank you, Princess."

In the eyes of everyone, it was understandable that Yang Qi was a little reserved since the Queen was also present today.

A joyful voice said in Yang Qi's ear: "Raise your head."

The voice was soft but powerful. When Yang Qi heard it, he immediately raised his head.

The moment he saw the Empress, Yang Qi was stunned for a moment. He had heard about Concubine Nian's beauty, but he never thought that the Empress was truly unparalleled.

The Queen Mother had seen many beauties in the palace. Yang Qi was not stunning, but she had regular facial features and was a very delicate lady from a noble family.

Yuan Yi saw Yang Qi looking at her mother in a daze, and said, "Sister Yang Qi, is it because my mother is so beautiful that you are staring at her in a daze?"

Yang Qi was very embarrassed to look away, but for a moment she didn't know where to look, so she could only look at Princess Yuan Yi, her face red, extremely shy: "The Queen is like the bright moon, the most beautiful person I have ever seen."

Yang Qi spoke sincerely, and the Queen was happy to hear it and laughed. She is really a wonderful person.

As the Queen laughed, Yang Qi looked at her again. Although the Queen was beautiful, there was always a hint of sadness in the corners of her eyes.

Thinking about the difficulty of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's position as the heir to the throne, Yang Qi also understood to some extent the distress in the Queen's heart.

The Queen Mother seemed very pleased with Yang Qi's praise and said to Yang Qi, "Come, come over here."

Yang Qi sat next to the Queen Mother. Seeing the Queen Mother up close, Yang Qi couldn't help but sighed: "Queen Mother, you are really beautiful."

Yang Qi said this from the bottom of his heart.

When Yuan Yi heard this, she rolled her eyes and then laughed. Sister Yang Qi is really a wonderful person.

The Queen Mother has been in the palace for so many years. From Yang Qi's eyes, the Queen Mother knew that this girl was speaking from the heart.

The Queen Mother called Yang Qi to her side, and she also wanted to take a closer look at the jade pendant on Yang Qi's chest. Unfortunately, Yang Qi was dressed very formally today, with three layers of clothes inside and outside to wrap the jade pendant.

The Queen's words were very gentle, and Yang Qi's uneasiness gradually dissipated.

As they were chatting, Yang Qi suddenly thought of the ending of the Queen in her previous life. Back then, the Crown Prince fought a desperate battle but was tragically betrayed. A stab in the back by Bai Yuxin made him lose miserably. The Queen ended her life in the palace wearing a white silk robe.

Yang Qi couldn't help but look at the Queen. How could such a gentle woman have the courage to end her own life?

Back then, Song Hongwen also used a white silk to threaten herself, and Yang Qi felt some empathy.

Perhaps, when the Queen Mother learned that the Crown Prince was planning to rebel, she was ready to die.

Looking at the Queen, Yang Qi's eyes were filled with more admiration.

The Queen Mother turned around and saw Yang Qi's expression. She felt a little strange. Why did this child have such an expression? Was it admiration?

Did the prince say something to this girl? Have the two of them reached the point where they can talk about anything?
