The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

The palace was very large, and even though it was not Yang Qi's first time entering the palace, Yuan Yi still sent a young eunuch to guard the side door early to lead Yang Qi in.

Looking at the red bricks and green tiles along the way, Yang Qi couldn't help but think of the last time he entered the palace, which was a year ago.

The things that happened this year are actually more exciting than what I experienced in my previous life.

At that time, if Princess Yuanyi had not suddenly summoned him, Song Hongwen would not have worried and would not have rushed himself to Xiaoyu Manor to pretend to be loyal in front of the Fifth Prince.

If Song Hongwen and the old lady had not been so clever as to expel herself from the capital, even if the substitute trained by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was of high quality and steady, it would not have been possible to conceal the truth from everyone in the palace so easily.

For me, the trip to Xihu was undoubtedly a transformation, a complete cleansing from the inside out.

As the old saying goes, what you see on paper will eventually make you realize it is shallow, but you will definitely know that you have to do it in detail.

No matter how detailed and sufficient the records in the book are, they are not as shocking as seeing it with your own eyes.

All of these things seemed as if they had been rehearsed in advance, and nothing could be missing.

Thinking about it carefully, what made Yang Qi most fortunate was that the trip to Xihu had tied her heart deeply to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The undercurrent was surging and the crowds were vast. Whether it was Mo Chong who sent people to kidnap him, or the Fifth Prince and Bai Yuxin who secretly appeared at the border, they all seemed to be assisting and brought His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to his side.

Even though Yang Qi tried to hide her emotions, Nanny Zhu, who had been following behind her, still noticed that the young lady was in a good mood.

As the nanny who has watched Yang Qi grow up step by step since she was a child, Nanny Zhu is a person with a very delicate mind. Although Yang Qi has made rapid progress, if Nanny Zhu is attentive, she can still guess some of the young lady's thoughts.

However, as Yang Qi experienced more and more things, there was only so much that Nanny Zhu could guess.

This morning, the second young lady staged such a scene in the mansion, but the young lady is not a person who gloats over other people's misfortune or takes advantage of others' misfortune. The joy at this moment must have nothing to do with the second young lady.

Could it be that he was thinking of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Just as Yang Qi and Nanny Zhu, master and servant, were walking towards Yuanyi Palace under the guidance of a young eunuch, suddenly, the palace maids and eunuchs in front of them stopped.

The eunuch who led Yang Qi looked at the scene in front of him, narrowed his eyes, and his expression changed a little. Then, he stopped, motioned Yang Qi and Nanny Zhu to stand by the wall, and whispered: "This is Concubine Nian."

Nanny Zhu was originally an old nanny released from the palace, so she naturally knew the rules of the palace.

Yang Qi, on the other hand, stared at the soft chair in front of him along the red walls and green tiles, and his eyes began to turn slightly red.

Concubine Nian! The biological mother of the fifth prince, the executioner behind the murder of my grandfather's entire family!

Although the young eunuch's voice was soft, it was like thunder in March, which set off a violent storm in Yang Qi's ears. His hands under his clothes could not help but tremble slightly.

After so many years, I finally got to see with my own eyes the "Empress Nian" who was said to be the most favored concubine in the harem!

Looking at the young lady's expression, Nanny Zhu thought something was wrong. Although she didn't know why the young lady was so out of control, if the young lady had offended Concubine Nian today, something serious would have happened.

Now the young lady is still in the palace. Although Nian Chuan has fallen and the fifth prince stays indoors all day, the support that the Nian family has in the court can be said to have fallen and dispersed.

But for the women in the palace, what they rely on most, after all, is the emperor's favor!

Although Concubine Nian is no longer the same as before, the Fifth Prince is still here after all. Judging from the current situation, the Emperor still favors her in the palace. Otherwise, how could she still have the opportunity to ride in a sedan chair?

With the emperor as her backer, if the young lady is not careful and offends Concubine Nian, this favorite concubine who has been up and down in the palace for many years will still have hundreds of ways to deal with the young lady.

In an instant, several scenes flashed through Nanny Zhu's mind.

I just hope that Concubine Nian can get there quickly, for I'm afraid something might happen if she's late.

Sitting on the soft chair, Concubine Nian suddenly opened her eyes, and her lazy eyes swept over the people around her intentionally or unintentionally.

In a hidden place, Yang Qi lowered his head slightly, then slowly let out a breath, clenched his hands tightly, his nails already embedded in the flesh. Now, he could only use the pain to force himself to calm down.

It was a close call just now. The young concubine had been competing with the empress for many years and was very perceptive. Even though she was resting with her eyes closed, she was able to detect something unusual.

Stay calm, you must stay calm, years of planning must not go to waste.

Not noticing anything unusual, Concubine Nian pressed her ear helplessly. Was she too tired these days? Was that scrutinizing look just now just an illusion?

Ever since Mo Chong defected, Yin'er has been forced to "reflect on herself" in the prince's mansion for many days, and Concubine Nian has been unable to sleep for nights.

In the current situation, the Empress and the Crown Prince are in a good position, but for Yin'er and I, every step forward from now on must be careful not to make any mistakes.

When she thought of her brother in prison and Yin'er who was under house arrest, Concubine Nian felt a pang of pain and regret in her heart.

If Yin'er had not stationed troops without authorization and aroused the emperor's taboo, he would not have lost so badly this time.

Looking at Yang Qi, who was dressed as a court lady, Concubine Nian knocked slowly on the soft chair with her right hand, signaling everyone to stop: "Who are you?"

Concubine Nian's sudden question made everyone present feel nervous.
