The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 431: First Meeting with Concubine Nian (2)

The Mansion of the Duke of Song has always been on good terms with the Fifth Prince. Even in this life, the Fifth Prince still had the idea of ​​marrying Song Yanglan. Presumably, Concubine Nian must have had a good impression of the Mansion of the Duke of Song before.

However, this time when the Fifth Prince was in trouble, the Duke of Song's Mansion was busy protecting itself, and I'm afraid it had already fallen into the eyes of someone with ulterior motives.

In addition, her maternal grandfather and his entire family were killed by the Nian family. I'm sure Concubine Nian would not be happy to hear her own name.

But in today's situation, it would be like an ant trying to shake a tree for me to go against Concubine Nian. Once Concubine Nian gets angry, how can I protect myself?

I can't take out His Highness's Molten Mountain Warm Jade. If I really do that, it would be like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

Yang Qi's mind was in a state of confusion at this moment, but his face showed no sign of confusion.

Fortunately, the eunuch that Yuan Yi sent this time was very alert. Seeing that the situation was not right, he hurriedly said, "Madam Nian Fei, this is the third daughter of the Duke of Song's mansion. Princess Yuan Yi summoned her to the palace to speak."

The third daughter of Duke Song? An idea flashed through Concubine Nian's mind, and then she frowned. No wonder she felt familiar with this person the moment she saw her. Wasn't she the granddaughter of the imperial physician?

Concubine Nian frowned, and the maid beside her quickly scolded her: "You little slave, you have no right to speak until the queen opens her mouth!"

The disdain expressed in the maid's words made everyone present feel frightened.

The relationship between Concubine Nian and the Empress has become extremely bad. Even though the Fifth Prince has suffered a defeat, Concubine Nian shows no sign of bowing her head.

That's right, these two people have been in a relationship of life and death for a long time. Even if you humble yourself at this time, you will not get any mercy from the other side.

This is true for the Queen, and vice versa.

"Why do you always keep your head down? You are so petty. In this respect, you are very different from your sister. Raise your head and let me take a good look. There are not many people who can win the favor of Yuan Yi."

The Nian family was not originally a prominent family. The reason they had once enjoyed glory was simply because they had a favored daughter.

Even though Concubine Nian had never received comprehensive and systematic teaching and hearing since she was young, she had been in the palace for many years and had been imbued with some of the bearing of a superior. Although it was just two simple sentences, it made people feel nervous.

Yang Qi, who was at the center of the vortex, was extremely open-minded at this moment. She raised her head slightly and saluted: "Your servant, Song Yang Qi, the daughter of Duke Song, pays respects to Empress Hua."

Yang Qi's manner of walking, sitting, lying down, greeting and greeting were all taught by Nanny Zhu, who had put a lot of effort into it, so there was nothing wrong with him.

Concubine Nian glanced at Song Yangqi, who looked 30% like Song Yanglan, and paused.

Over the years, Concubine Hua has put a lot of thought into selecting a suitable girl for Yin'er to marry.

Originally, Hua Fei's favorite was Bai Yuxin.

Bai Yuxin was originally the granddaughter of the prime minister, and had the support of the Bai family in Jiangnan. In addition, she had long been secretly in love with Yin Er, so she was undoubtedly the most suitable noble lady in the capital.

But she never expected that Yin'er, for some unknown reason, secretly facilitated the marriage between Bai Yuxin and the prince.

Afterwards, Concubine Hua gave up the idea of ​​Bai Yuxin being her daughter-in-law and turned her attention to Song Yanglan.

Although Song Yanglan is both talented and beautiful, her family background is still slightly inferior to Bai Yuxin's. Fortunately, Marquis Yongyi and the Duke of Song have always been Yin'er's right-hand men, so this marriage was able to pass the test of Concubine Hua.

Because of Song Yanglan's existence, Concubine Hua was very concerned about the affairs of Duke Song's Mansion and secretly sent some people to gather information.

All along, the information that Concubine Hua had obtained was undoubtedly all about praising Song Yanglan and belittling the three sisters Yangqi, Yanghe, etc.

But today, I see that Song Yangqi is also beautiful and has an extraordinary temperament. She is not as dull and ordinary as the news said. What went wrong?

In fact, it is not surprising that the person who inquired about the news came to such a conclusion. In the Mansion of Duke Song, Song Yanglan's reputation is so great that her three younger sisters are overshadowed.

Concubine Hua was stunned for a moment and did not let Yang Qi stand up. For a moment, Yang Qi did not dare to offend Concubine Hua at this time, so she had to continue kneeling and paying her respects.

However, the maidservant who had just been scolded by Concubine Hua saw that the Empress was absent-minded and bravely reminded her: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is still waiting."

Once you enter the palace, it is like entering a deep sea. The greatest reliance of the women in this palace is the emperor.

For Her Majesty, the Emperor is not only her greatest support, but also her only support.

After Concubine Hua's sedan chair had gone far away, Nanny Zhu stepped forward to help Yang Qi up and said, "Miss, are you still able to bear it?"

It was not until Nanny Zhu spoke that Yang Qi realized that a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on his back.

The cold wind blew past, making people shiver.

Looking at the direction where Concubine Hua was going, Yang Qi lowered her voice and asked, "Mammy, do you think that my encounter with Concubine Hua today was an accident?"

My second sister is willing to sacrifice her own reputation and follow me into the palace today. Did she calculate that I would run into Concubine Hua, or did she simply want to try her luck by entering the palace?

Nanny Zhu looked normal, but she used some strength to support Yang Qi's hands: "The palace is not big or small. Once you step into the palace, it is possible to run into any noble person.

Fortunately, the young lady has learned the rules well, and did not make any mistakes even though she met the queen for the first time today."

Turning back, Yang Qi said to the eunuch who was waiting on the side: "Thank you for leading the way. We should hurry up on the next journey. There is no reason to keep the princess waiting."
