The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Concubine Ge was almost biting her teeth. She said coldly, "Chong'er is the prince of Dayong, the prince of your majesty. He should be loyal to Dayong with all his heart. If the Xue family is convicted, they will be the scourge and criminals who undermine the government. They should be dealt with according to the law. It is not a pity for the Xue family to be cut into pieces. What is there for Chong'er to worry about?"

As for Concubine Ge, she understood how important the Xue family was to her son as they were in the Ministry of Revenue. She just didn't expect that Xue Zhentong was such a complete waste and caused such a big disaster. One family could be charged with several crimes, which gave Prince Cheng a big handle.

How could Concubine Ge not know that this incident was a big blow to Gu Shichong?

At the same time, she hated Xue Zhiyi, a bitch who dared to compete with the Ge family for the position of future queen and disobey her!

Now that the Xue family is in trouble, Chong'er has to run around for it, but the damn Xue Zhiyi has escaped from the Xue family's coffin, making her even more hateful. She even suspects that all this was instigated by Xue Zhiyi.

From the beginning to the end, the only benefit of this matter to the Ge family is that this arranged marriage will most likely be annulled. At that time, the position of princess will be vacant, and she will have the opportunity to take advantage of the Ge family's situation.

While Concubine Ge was filled with hatred, she heard a soft voice saying, "Your Majesty has always loved His Royal Highness Prince Gong and has been very attentive to His Royal Highness's marriage. How could he let His Royal Highness marry the daughter of a criminal with an unknown background? Not to mention Prince Gong, even a decent family in the common people would not want such a lowly woman, right?"

Following the direction of the voice, I saw that the woman who was speaking was in her twenties, but her appearance was not as soft as her voice. Her raised eyebrows made her face look a little mean.

An Zhaoyi sneered: "Who do I think she is? Lady Song barely has the chance to see His Majesty a few times a year, but she can figure out His Majesty's thoughts so carefully. It's really surprising."

"You!" The frustrated Lady Song's eyes widened.

She hated An Zhaoyi so much. Although her family background was ordinary, she was a daughter of an official family. She had to work hard for several years to gain the status of a beauty. But An, a lowly woman who was born a dancer and was younger than her, had entered the palace for less than a year and risen to the top thanks to the emperor's favor.

What's so good about her!

Xue Zhiyi knew that he was just an excuse used by An Zhaoyi to disgust people, and the topic was not about her from beginning to end, so he just sat on the sidelines and watched the fight between the two tigers.

During the days of training, she had already memorized the names of the ladies in each palace.

For example, this Concubine Song, whose father was a fifth-rank civil official, lived in the west wing of Concubine Ge's Cuiwei Palace. Naturally, she usually followed the lead of Concubine Ge, the main lady, so at this moment she was so busy helping Concubine Ge to satirize Concubine An.

Concubine Ge glanced at Xue Zhiyi, who was still unperturbed by favor or disgrace, and said, "It is because of the Queen Mother's kindness. Otherwise, such a lowly person should be removed from the music register and sent to the music school to become a singer or dancer. That would be more appropriate for her status, isn't it?"

An Zhaoyi just raised her eyebrows and smiled, as if she didn't care about her former identity as a dancer. "Who can say for sure about one's origin? His Royal Highness Prince Cheng's biological mother was originally a palace maid, and she was also a beauty when she was alive, but it didn't prevent His Royal Highness Prince Cheng from being valued by His Majesty. Who dares to say that His Royal Highness Prince Cheng is not noble enough? The Xue family used to be a minister, and it only took a moment for them to be thrown into prison. No matter how prominent they are, it is just an illusion."

As she spoke, she looked at Concubine Ge quietly, "But you don't have to worry, Concubine. After all, the Duke Dingguo's Mansion is so big, it won't disappear like the Xue family, right?"

The hatred in Concubine Ge's beautiful eyes seemed to be bleeding: This damned dancer actually dared to curse the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, how dare she do that! ?

"All right."

Seeing that the two sides were on the verge of a fight, the queen said in a gentle voice: "If your majesty hears you making irresponsible remarks about state affairs, he will be unhappy. Everything is decided by your majesty, so you should just be at peace."

After falling out with Concubine Ge, An Zhaoyi naturally became a member of the empress's party. Upon hearing this, she immediately said, "I will remember the empress's teachings."

Concubine Ge just snorted coldly, and shut up with Concubine Song with a gloomy face.

Seeing that they had finally quieted down, Xue Zhiyi gave a look to the palace maid serving tea beside her, and she invited up a group of palace maids who had been waiting there from the back of the hall.

The palace maids came in in an orderly manner, holding trays, lowering their brows and eyes, and brought the tea cups to the ladies, kneeling down and serving the tea.

Xue Zhiyi bowed slowly, as if she had not heard the unpleasant comments just now. She smiled slightly and said politely: "The Queen Mother has just obtained the first spring tea of ​​this year, and she has specially asked me to give it to you ladies to taste today."

Hearing this, the queen only smiled and said, "Mother, you care about me. I am grateful for your concern."

After saying that, he took the teacup from the tray in front of him.

Seeing this, the concubines also took it.

But no one knew what Lady Song was thinking, and she did not take the teacup brought by the palace maid for a long time.

Only after the other palace maids stood up and left, Xue Zhiyi saw from afar that Jingchun was still kneeling in front of Concubine Song.

Xue Zhiyi walked up slowly and asked her in a gentle voice, "I wonder if there is anything wrong with Miss Song?"

At this time, Jingchun, who was kneeling in such an awkward posture, had his wrists trembling a little.

Just as Jingchun fell down trembling, Xue Zhiyi took over the tray in time without spilling even a drop of the tea.

Jingchun was startled and knelt down immediately: "I made a mistake, please forgive me, my lady."

But Lady Song snorted sarcastically and said in a soft voice, "It's just that the tea was not held properly. It's not a big deal. The people who serve the Queen Mother are carefully selected. I think it's just a mistake. But when Shi Qi was here, there was no such mistake."

What she meant was that the palace maids in Jianzhang Palace were well-trained, but Xue Zhiyi was not capable enough to lead the people under her, which was why she couldn't even do such a small thing as serving tea.

All in all, something went wrong on Xue Zhiyi's first day on the job.

However, at this moment, everyone looked here and thought: I don’t know what’s wrong with Concubine Song today. She actually dares to act pretentiously in the Empress Dowager’s palace.

Under Concubine Song's contemptuous gaze, Xue Zhiyi squatted down, raised the tray above his head, and presented it to Concubine Song: "The servants below are not serving well, so I will personally invite you to have tea."

On the side, Concubine Ge couldn't help but sneer: I didn't expect Xue Zhiyi to be such a flexible person.

Lady Song then slowly took the teacup, but suddenly snorted, "After all this trouble, the tea has gone cold, and the fragrance has faded."

Having said that, he handed the teacup back, but suddenly let go at an angle that others could not see clearly.

Xue Zhiyi had expected that she would keep finding fault with him, so he was on guard. Seeing this, he handed the tray that he had just taken back out again.

The teacup hit the tray with a clanging sound.

Xue Zhiyi quickly apologized: "I am guilty. The teacup froze your hand, causing you to lose your grip. Please forgive me!"

Concubine Song was also stunned. She wanted to smash the teacup and then accuse Xue Zhiyi of not doing his job properly and breaking the tea that the empress dowager had given her by failing to catch it.

But unexpectedly, Xue Zhiyi reacted quickly and actually caught it with a tray.

Now the tray was littered with cups and plates. Xue Zhiyi did not take any of them, but held up the tray and asked her to put the teacups in it.

In this case, it could only be that she didn't put it away properly.

Although Xue Zhiyi's tone was respectful, his words seemed to be sarcastic, which made Lady Song embarrassed and angry: "What do you mean!"

Xue Zhiyi remained obedient: "The Queen Mother gave me tea, so the beauty definitely didn't drop it on purpose. The tea is cold, so it didn't burn your hand, so it must have been frozen."

"you……"

Seeing Lady Song's eyes widen, Xue Zhiyi asked her, "Isn't it?"

Just as Lady Song was speechless, she heard a message: "The Queen Mother is here!"

So everyone had no time to think about anything else and hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"I, your humble servants, pay my respects to the Queen Mother. May your blessings last forever, and may you live in peace and prosperity!"
