The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Lady Song's eyes were red, and she said in a soft voice, "Your Majesty, I know that my position is not high, but I didn't expect that the new attendant in Jianzhang Palace would treat me with disrespect. It doesn't matter if I am offended, but I am afraid that people will mistake it for the Queen Mother's intention, which will ruin her reputation for kindness..."

Upon hearing this, An Zhaoyi sneered, "Mrs. Song is now pregnant with the heir to the throne, so she is precious, but she can't just talk nonsense. It's obviously you who didn't hold the teacup firmly, and you made things difficult for a little imperial attendant. The sisters present all saw it, right, Madam Li Fei?"

It was obvious that Concubine Li didn't want to get involved in their feud, so she hesitated and was hesitant to speak.

An Zhaoyi had no intention of forcing Concubine Li to express her opinion, so she asked the Queen again: "Your Majesty, in front of everyone, you can't just watch Concubine Song boasting that she is pregnant and talking nonsense like this."

After a brief thought, the Queen said, "Mother, this matter was indeed caused by Concubine Song."

The Queen's stance has never been too sharp. At this moment, she just told the truth without exaggerating. She also did not side with Xue Zhiyi in order to oppose Concubine Ge.

But I heard Concubine Ge say: "Even so, the first rule of being a servant is not to contradict the master. If I really mess up Lady Song's pregnancy today, what should I do?"

Then he looked at the Queen Mother and said, "The Queen Mother has always been kind to me, but the baby in Lady Song's belly is your grandson after all."

How could the Queen Mother not know that Concubine Ge was targeting Xue Zhiyi?

She glanced at the person beside her who still looked calm, and felt a little more admiration in her heart. She softened her voice and said, "Zhiyi, tell me."

But Xue Zhiyi's heart was already surging.

If she had been successfully framed by Concubine Song just now, she would have really been the one disturbing the royal heir. If Concubine Song shouted a few more times that the fetus was unstable, she could not guarantee that the emperor would not deal with her.

In this kind of situation, servants are always in the wrong. If they make their master angry, they are guilty. Even if their master is the one who starts the trouble, they are not completely innocent if they resist.

At this moment, everyone was looking at Xue Zhiyi, each with their own thoughts, wanting to see what response she would come up with.

Xue Zhiyi clenched her hands under her sleeves... If she couldn't even handle such a palace struggle, the Queen Mother would probably think it would be difficult for her to accomplish anything.

The Queen Mother could protect her, for example, at this moment, because she was the Queen Mother's person, so these people did not dare to punish her easily. But the Queen Mother had no reason to protect her at all costs. If she could not take care of her own life, let alone revenge, she would have no chance to stay in the palace.

Unexpectedly, in front of everyone, Xue Zhiyi smiled and bowed to Lady Song: "Congratulations to Lady Song!"

Hearing this, Concubine Ge frowned and said, "Xue Zhiyi, how can Lady Song be happy when you bump into her? Don't lose your sense of propriety by relying on the Queen Mother's kindness."

But Xue Zhiyi was still smiling, "Reporting to the Imperial Concubine, pregnant women should not drink tea. The tea for all the ladies just now was served together from the tea room, but only Lady Song's tea was cold, which was really against common sense. It also froze Lady Song, causing her to accidentally knock over the teacup. I think the child in Lady Song's belly is a blessing for a long time, and it has protected both her and the beauty. The little prince must be a blessing bestowed upon Dayong by the ancestors of heaven and earth."

Concubine Song was speechless, and she looked at Concubine Ge for help.

Xue Zhiyi's words made it clear that today's incident was the fault of Concubine Song herself and had nothing to do with her, Xue Zhiyi. He also took the initiative to give Concubine Song a way out.

Before Concubine Ge could speak, Xue Zhiyi continued, "I think Concubine Song didn't spill the tea on purpose, but because the little prince is auspicious and can turn misfortune into fortune."

Concubine Ge narrowed her eyes: This man is really good at speaking, he managed to completely evade all the blame. But this incident happened in public, and it was not convenient for him to lie, so Concubine Song had no choice but to walk down the stairs.

Concubine Ge gritted her teeth and forced out a cold smile: "In that case, Lady Song should relax a little and not get angry at the heir in your belly over such a small matter."

After getting the nod, Concubine Song held her belly and said, "In that case, I should thank you, right?"

Xue Zhiyi only replied: "I dare not take credit for it. This is all the blessing that the little prince brought to the beauty."

As if punching cotton, Lady Song rolled her eyes at her.

It was not until this moment that the Queen Mother spoke again: "Alright, since it is a misunderstanding, just clear it up. Lady Song, what the Imperial Concubine said is not wrong. You are pregnant, so don't get angry about everything. This is not good for the heir to the throne."

No matter how unwilling Lady Song was, she could only say respectfully, "The Queen Mother's admonition, I will keep it in mind."

Concubine Song was sent back to Cuiwei Palace for recuperation, and the remaining concubines were just chatted with for a few words before being dismissed by the empress dowager.

But Xue Zhiyi knew that Concubine Ge would not let it go, and Concubine Song also needed to be dealt with properly, otherwise after today, this child would blame her for any trouble.

If he were born and inherited his biological mother's stupidity, everyone would say that it was Xue Zhiyi who made him stupid.

"Come on, accompany me back to the bedroom to rest for a while."

Upon hearing this, Xue Zhiyi immediately straightened his expression and followed the Queen Mother and Chai Yue.

At this moment, the Queen Mother did not mention what happened today, but just complained: "This kind of visit is really tiring. Waking up so early makes my eyelids heavy. I guess they are the same. It's a pity that the palace rules cannot be violated, otherwise who would want to get up before dawn to see an old man like me?"

Suddenly, she called out, "Zhiyi."

Xue Zhiyi, who was in a trance, was startled when he was called: "I'm here."

The Queen Mother only said, "You used to be served by others, are you used to this job now?"

However, Xue Zhiyi looked relaxed and calm: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, with Sister Chai Yue's guidance, everything is going smoothly."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "I knew you were a clever child. You can handle these things. You can also walk steadily in this palace and will not fall easily."

Xue Zhiyi thought: She had just guessed that the Queen Mother might have been eavesdropping since Concubine Song started causing trouble, and she wanted to see if she could handle the dark and secretive nature of the palace on her own.

The Queen Mother laughed and said, "It's better if you don't fall. Only then can you go far and long on this road, and reach where you want to go."

But as they chatted and laughed like this, the feeling of uncertainty in Xue Zhiyi's heart finally dissipated at this moment.

She knew that she had passed the test, and from that moment on, her new identity was officially accepted.

Xue Zhiyi understood and said, "Zhiyi, please borrow the Queen Mother's good words."

The Queen Mother was startled, and looked at Xue Zhiyi with a meaningful look in her eyes: "If there is anything in the future, remember to tell me, understand?"

"Yes." Xue Zhiyi bowed his head: "Thank you, Queen Mother."
