Since they are all worn by the Qing Dynasty, you might as well be bold and choose Kangxi!

Three different conversations now emerged in her mind.

"I have arranged your new identity. If you do as I say, I will give you great wealth. Go to Yandaixie Street tomorrow. There will be a playboy walking his bird past there every afternoon at 1:00 p.m. When he sees your face, he will arrange everything. Remember to forget everything in the past, or else think about your family and fiancé."

"They look somewhat similar, but the rest is very different. However, being somewhat similar is a great blessing for you. My master will allow you to enter the palace, but you must remember that you are just a substitute. Don't dream about things that you shouldn't dream about. Remember your identity."

"Xi Hui, do you want to reunite with your family and let your captors get their comeuppance?"

Ningshuang's grip on the small horn bow became tighter and tighter. The next moment, in the gaze of everyone, she slowly raised the small horn bow and aimed it at the "Zongzi Mountain" not far away.

Rather than being threatened and used, she of course chose to reunite with her family and let her captors get retribution, and a flash of determination flashed through her heart.

The next moment, she loosened her hand, and whoosh, everyone looked in pursuit subconsciously, but they saw that the arrow that was supposed to hit the rice dumpling hit Prince Gong's table instead.

There was a bang, which startled Prince Gong. He stepped back subconsciously, and the chair made a sharp crackling sound.

When he reacted and faced everyone's gaze, he realized that he had overreacted. His face turned red, and he slammed the table in shame and anger, glaring at Ning Shuang:

"You bold slave, are you trying to assassinate me?"

At this moment, Ningshuang seemed to be frightened silly, her face turned pale instantly. After she came to her senses, she immediately knelt down with a thud and kowtowed to the ground.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life! Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

There was silence at the scene. Kangxi frowned. The eldest prince in the front row noticed the emperor's expression, his mind changed, and he was the first one to stand up among the crowd.

"Father, this slave dared to assassinate Uncle Gong in public. I suggest that she be dragged out and beaten with eighty strokes of the cane."

Everyone with a discerning eye present knew that the palace maid had just missed the target by accident and it was not an assassination attempt at all. The eighty lashes would have been the end of her life.

But no one said a word. She was just a palace maid. It was not worth it to offend a prince and an eldest brother for her.

However, when Concubine Xi saw the palace maid showing her face when begging for mercy, her heart skipped a beat. She realized something was wrong. How could she show her face?

Could this be an opportunity deliberately created by the family? She immediately looked towards the seats for the ladies.

At this time, Mrs. Hesheli also recognized the palace maid. She had seen Ningshuang through the window. How could she appear here?

And she showed her face like this. Was it arranged by Concubine Xi in the palace?

She remembered that Concubine Xi was one of the people in charge of the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, and immediately looked over.

Their eyes met.

They are all suspicious.

At this time, the old prince who had questioned Shi Nanxi's qualifications for the title of Imperial Noble Consort at Kangxi's birthday banquet suddenly pointed out:

"Hey, this palace maid looks somewhat familiar!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the attention that was originally focused on the eldest prince and Prince Gong fell on the palace maid who was still kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Shi Nanxi also looked along with the others, observing with curiosity, and the next moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came to her ears:

"This, isn't this Empress Xiaocheng? No, hasn't Empress Xiaocheng passed away many years ago?"

"Ah, I see. It must be Queen Xiaocheng who has come back to life!"

"How can someone come back from the dead? This must be the reincarnation of Empress Xiaocheng!"

"No, she just looks a bit like Empress Xiaocheng!"

When Kangxi saw that somewhat familiar face, he was also stunned and his hand suddenly clenched the wine glass.

This face seemed to bring him back to more than twenty years ago, when Empress Xiaocheng had just married him and was only twelve years old, her face was even more childish than this.

No, Kangxi suddenly came to his senses and looked at her carefully, only to find that this palace maid did look a bit like Xiaocheng, but compared with the twelve-year-old Xiaocheng, she was only three or four points similar. This one looked fifteen or sixteen years old, and when thinking of the fifteen or sixteen-year-old Xiaocheng, they were seven or eight points similar.

I suddenly remembered that Nanxi had mentioned to me before, that makeup on women is magical and can transform a person into another person.

My heart sank immediately. What happened today was not a coincidence.

The one who reacted the most at this time was the crown prince. When he was born, his mother, Empress Xiaocheng, died of complications during childbirth. He had only seen the portrait of him painted in the palace.

Hearing the words in his ears at this moment, he stared blankly at the face of the palace maid on the ground, and the wine glass in his hand suddenly fell on the table with a bang.

This sound immediately woke everyone up. They quickly stopped talking, secretly glanced at the prince, and then could not help but look at the palace maid who was kowtowing and begging for mercy on the ground.

At the top, the Empress Dowager was also filled with astonishment. She quickly spun the Buddhist beads in one hand and pointed at the palace maid on the ground with the other hand tremblingly.

"What's going on here? Could this be the reincarnation of Empress Xiaocheng?"

She was a devout believer in Buddhism, and today was the Dragon Boat Festival. She wondered if the Bodhisattva knew that Xiaocheng had been reincarnated and took this opportunity to let them know.

Kangxi looked at the palace maid who kept kowtowing. She seemed to be frightened by the scene and shrank back, not daring to move. He asked without any emotion in his tone:

"What's your name?"

Shi Nanxi, who lived with Kangxi day and night, was keenly aware of the murderous intent rising in his heart. It seemed that Kangxi had already noticed something strange, and she looked at the palace maid.

The maid seemed very timid. She lowered her head and stammered:

"My servant's name is..." She called for a long time but couldn't say her own name.

At this time, the eldest prince and Concubine Hui and her son looked at each other secretly.

They had also noticed something strange. How could it be such a coincidence that any random palace maid would look so similar to Empress Xiaocheng?

There must be someone behind this palace maid. Most likely, someone wanted to push forward this palace maid who looked similar to Empress Xiaocheng to win favor. It could be Hesheli, or it could be someone else.

But no matter who it is, with the threat posed by Imperial Noble Consort Xian growing more and more serious, they might as well let this palace maid who looks like Empress Xiaocheng enter the palace.

By then, there might be a chance to shake the favor of Imperial Noble Consort Xian, and they could also let Imperial Noble Consort Xian and the Crown Prince fight with each other, and they would benefit from it.

The mother and son were in sync and looked away at the same time. Concubine Hui looked at the palace maid and suddenly spoke in a low voice:

"Don't be afraid, the emperor just wants to ask your name."

But after hearing the word her name, Ningshuang seemed even more nervous.

At this time, Concubine Xi pinched her palms tightly, vaguely aware that something was wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong. What was even more tragic was that even if something was wrong, she was powerless to stop it.

Lady Hesheli also felt uneasy at this time. The look in Concubine Xi's eyes just now was obviously not arranged by her. Then why would this person show up in this way?

Is it a coincidence? But how can it be such a coincidence? Or is it someone's plan? But who would plan? Even the prince doesn't know about this!

At this moment, the only thing she was thankful for was that she did not choose to summon this person directly, otherwise she might have been recognized on the spot.

At this time, the prince came back to his senses and stared at the palace maid's face. Could this really be the reincarnation of his mother? Then he looked at Kangxi expectantly.

If she was really the reincarnation of his imperial mother, how could he let her become a slave? Of course, she would marry the emperor again.

Noticing the prince's gaze, Kangxi looked around again, and finally his eyes fell on Shi Nanxi.

She was staring at the palace maid's face and biting her lower lip so hard that it seemed like she was going to break it. This was her action when she was nervous.

He hadn't seen her react so strongly for a long time. Noticing Kangxi's gaze, Shi Nanxi turned her eyes to him, but then she thought of something and quickly lowered her head and hid away, leaving only the slightly red corners of her eyes.

Kangxi suddenly felt a surge of heartache, and then anger. The person behind this was trying to sow discord between him and the girl, and he deserved to be punished.

However, the angrier he got, the calmer he became. He looked at Ning Lu again, his expression intimidating without being angry, and said:

"I'll ask you again, what's your name?"
