The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Hearing this, Xue Zhiyi just lowered his eyebrows and said, "I don't understand what the beauty means by this."

Lady Song was extremely disgusted with Xue Zhiyi, but at this moment she could only grit her teeth and lower her soft voice: "The koi in the Thousand Carp Pond of Cuiwei Palace started to behave strangely after you came. Do you dare to say that this was not your fault?"

Xue Zhiyi's hands suddenly clenched, and the whole person became visibly nervous: "This servant... really does not understand what the beauty means. The auspicious koi that day was because the beauty and the little prince have long-lasting blessings."

Lady Song seemed to have grasped Xue Zhiyi's weakness, and couldn't help but chuckle: "I don't believe you will send a koi tray when auspicious signs happen to appear."

As she spoke, she looked at Xue Zhiyi, who was panicking at the moment, and said, "If you don't want to tell me, then forget it. I can report to His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine and have them investigate you, a servant who is playing tricks in the palace!"

Xue Zhiyi was startled, lowered his head, and said in a trembling voice: "My Lady..."

Lady Song threatened her: “Speak!”

Xue Zhiyi's forehead was already covered with sweat, and her eyes were trembling: "My lady... that day, I just quietly sprinkled a handful of fish food into the Thousand Carp Pond, and other than that, I did nothing..."

"What is your purpose?" Lady Song felt that this person was extremely suspicious.

Xue Zhiyi just shook his head in panic: "I have no purpose! I just hope that the beauty will forgive me for the sake of auspiciousness and stop making things difficult for me!"

Seeing that Concubine Song still had doubts on her face, Xue Zhiyi hurriedly explained: "The Fifth Prince is also blessed with good fortune, so His Majesty loves him. Concubine Xian is also valued by His Majesty. I just thought... If Concubine Song's prince is blessed with good fortune, His Majesty will definitely love him."

Her eyes were full of sincerity: "I am of low status. If my beauty really holds a grudge against my offense that day, I will have no chance of survival... My beauty, I really want to make you happy, hoping that you can give me a chance of survival!"

Seeing Xue Zhiyi in such an embarrassed state, Lady Song finally felt a lot better.

What's more, what she said seemed to make some sense.

At first, the Fifth Prince was very stupid and could not speak until he was seven years old. The virtuous concubine somehow managed to get the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to tell His Majesty that the Fifth Prince was "slow to speak" and that it was a good omen from heaven for Dayong.

His Majesty not only believed it, but also showed great favor to Concubine Xian and the Fifth Prince, and named them Prince Sheng at an early stage.

A few days ago, when His Majesty learned about the Thousand Carp Pond, he attached great importance to it. Not only did he give her so many rewards that the storehouse could not hold them all, he also promised to promote her.

But... she had no way to bribe the Taibu Temple to declare her event as a good omen.

Thinking of this, she asked Xue Zhiyi: "Then tell me how you did this trick. If you tell me clearly, I will forgive you. Otherwise, I will send you to the torture chamber for interrogation immediately!"

Xue Zhiyi panicked: "My lady, this is not difficult to do... In the Beast Garden, there are many special feed grains for taming animals. Not only fish, but also birds and beasts can act according to your ideas."

Hearing this, Lady Song's expression changed a little bit. The corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously, and she put on a smile towards Xue Zhiyi.

She smiled kindly at Xue Zhiyi and said, "Zhiyi, why would I want to embarrass you? I won't tell His Majesty about this, so today, don't mention that you've seen me to anyone else. Otherwise, if someone asks, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it for you."

Xue Zhiyi was delighted and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Miss Song, for your generosity!"

After seeing Xue Zhiyi off, Concubine Song, supported by the palace maids, continued to walk slowly on the palace road.

She was silent and thoughtful.

In order to gain favor, she had been dependent on the imperial concubine for many years, but the imperial concubine was not warm to her. She only gave her some leftovers occasionally and never thought of favoring her.

Now, she has to look at the Imperial Concubine's mood even when she is pregnant, simply because His Majesty does not favor her very much.

What if...what if she could also become a favorite concubine?

If a virtuous concubine could give birth to a stupid son, why couldn't she?

Thinking of this, she suddenly clenched the maid's hand.

The maid asked her, "What do you want, my lady?"

Lady Song narrowed her eyes slightly: "Accompany me to the Beast Garden."

……

Three days later, the Qionglin Banquet.

The Imperial Garden was already bustling with activity.

The Qionglin Banquet is a state banquet. Compared with previous dynasties, Dayong attaches particular importance to it. Not only will His Majesty attend in person, but many court officials and their families will also be invited to attend.

The banquet is approaching and many guests have arrived one after another.

So Xue Zhiyi was not surprised when he saw Shen Qingtang.

When Shen Qingtang met her in the Imperial Garden, tears almost welled up in her eyes: "Zhiyi..."

Xue Zhiyi raised his hand to cover her mouth that was about to cry: "We still have to avoid some people if we want to talk."

At this busy time, seeing Shen Qingtang after a long time, Xue Zhiyi still took some time to talk to her.

The two of them found a slightly secluded pavilion in the Imperial Garden, so that Shen Qingtang would not lose his manners in public.

At this point, Shen Qingtang no longer cared about hierarchy. She held Xue Zhiyi's hand and looked at him again and again: "He's still alive, with all his limbs intact, but he's a little thinner..."

Looking at Shen Qingtang's red eyes, Xue Zhiyi laughed: "I just entered the palace, not into a dangerous place."

Although he said this, what he was thinking in his heart was: In fact, the imperial palace is no different from a dangerous place.

Shen Qingtang pushed her and said, "Marquis Lin'an said you were safe, but I was still worried these days. I didn't feel relieved until I saw you with my own eyes."

As she spoke, she sighed with a nasal tone: "What do you call this? Your brother is really a piece of shit. He almost got you into trouble."

Xue Zhiyi was in a trance, it seemed that Shen Qingtang had said something like this in his previous life.

At that time, the Shen family was in trouble, and Xue Tingsheng found a woman who came from nowhere, and insisted that she was his destined woman and wanted to take her as his concubine.

At that time, Shen Qingtang was seriously ill, lying on the couch with a pale face, and said to Xue Zhiyi: "Your brother is really a piece of shit."

Fortunately, Xue Tingsheng was completely finished, and she could finally put her mind at ease.

"Zhiyi." Shen Qingtang shook her hand to bring her back to her senses: "Actually... there is something I have always wanted to ask you."

Xue Zhiyi smiled and said, "You go ahead."

Shen Qingtang bit her lip and hesitated, "What is your relationship with Marquis Lin'an?"

"What……"

Shen Qingtang stamped his feet lightly: "Oh... I just want to ask, he is so dedicated to running around for you, even if he is a warm-hearted person, he is a little too enthusiastic."

She carefully observed Xue Zhiyi's expression: "Have you two already... already..."

She struggled with what words to use.
