After the marriage, the abstinent prince turned me on

Today is the Queen Mother’s birthday. It is a rare opportunity to have the same birthday as her!

Child, you must seize the opportunity!

Thinking of this, Xie Chuxue calmly poured a little powder into her cup and drank it all.

After about a cup of tea, a fragrant breeze blew over. Everyone followed the scent and saw a woman in an orange-red peony dress walking towards them.

Looking at the entire banquet, she was the most dazzling presence.

Because no one is stupid enough to dress so brightly today. Isn't this obviously stealing the empress dowager's limelight?

Sure enough, the wives of officials began to whisper again.

"This Concubine Shu is so bold, she actually dresses like this!"

"That's right! This peony flower is the Queen Mother's favorite, and she actually dares to wear it!"

"I think she is spoiled and arrogant, and doesn't take the Queen Mother seriously at all!"

The Queen Mother simply smiled and said, "This dress is a gift from me to Concubine Shu. If you have any objections, please speak to me."

The wives of officials were afraid to say anything more.

Xie Mishuang walked gracefully to the Empress Dowager, bowed gracefully, and said in a sweet voice, "Your Highness, I respectfully wish you a long life, good health, and all the best!"

Then she took an exquisite box from the palace maid and opened it. Inside was a gold hairpin inlaid with rubies, which was exquisitely crafted and dazzling.

"This is a small gift from your humble servant. I hope Your Majesty the Queen Mother will accept it." Xie Mi presented the hairpin with both hands, with just the right amount of respect and flattery on her face.

The Queen Mother took the hairpin, examined it carefully, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

"Shufei is thoughtful."

Xie Mishuang pulled out a folded piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to the Queen Mother with both hands, saying, "I have another recipe for a beauty-enhancing pill, but the ingredients are expensive, so I don't have all the ingredients. I'll bring it to you when I have."

The Queen Mother took the prescription and slowly unfolded it. The handwriting on it was beautiful and neat, but it gave her a shock.

This handwriting...how come it's exactly the same as Shuang'er's?

Could it be that Concubine Shu is...

The Empress Dowager did not dare to think too much about it. After all, as the official's wife said, Concubine Shu and Shuang'er were cousins and had the same teacher, so it was possible that their handwriting was the same.

But there were too many coincidences, which made her think more.

The maid beside the empress dowager brought a chair inlaid with gold and jade, and Xie Mishuang sat down gracefully with an elegant posture and proper manners.

She held the empress dowager's arm affectionately and whispered something softly, which made the empress dowager smile and pat the back of her hand from time to time.

They looked so close to each other, just like a real mother and daughter.

This scene stung Xie Chuxue's eyes.

You know, before this, she was the one who had always sat next to the Queen Mother and was closest to her! But the Queen Mother was extremely cold to her, not even giving her a glance.

Now, this Chi Chunchun is just a country girl from the remote Fengshui Town. With a face similar to that bitch, she can easily win the favor and favor of the empress dowager. How hateful!

Xie Chuxue stared at Xie Mishuang fiercely with her beautiful eyes, her mind churning with thoughts.

Chi Chunchun? She remembered that Chi Chunchun and Xie Mishuang looked nothing alike when they were little, so how come they looked so similar now?

Could it be... A terrible thought flashed through her mind, making her shudder.

Chi Chunchun, who are you? Find out!

Xie Mishuang seemed to sense something, and her eyes involuntarily swept over Xie Chuxue, and her brows twitched slightly.

Xie Chuxue interpreted this subtle movement as a provocation, and her suspicion deepened.

"Ouch!" Xie Chuxue pretended to scream, and a pearl earring slipped from her earlobe and rolled to Xie Mishuang's feet.

"Sister Shufei," Xie Chuxue said softly, with a hint of subtle temptation in her tone, "My earring seems to have fallen at your feet. Can you help me pick it up?"

Xie Mishuang saw through Xie Chuxue's little trick immediately.

She knew Xie Chuxue's character very well and was well aware that the other party was just trying to take this opportunity to test her true identity.

"I am not Princess Liu's maid," Xie Mishuang said coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, "Please don't bother me with such a trivial matter."

Xie Chuxue flashed a look of embarrassment that was hard to conceal, and let out two dry and forced laughs.

Seeing this, the maid beside her hurried forward, stretched out her hands, and prepared to pick up the earrings that had fallen on the ground.

However, at the moment when the maid was about to touch the earring, Xie Mishuang's small and exquisite embroidered shoes were slightly lifted.

With a crisp "click", the priceless pearl earrings instantly turned into powder.

Xie Chuxue's pupils suddenly contracted violently, and she looked at the scene in disbelief.

This earring was a rare treasure she had purchased at great expense, so she could show off at this important birthday party! And yet, it was crushed so easily by this bitch!

"Ah," Xie Mishuang covered her mouth in feigned surprise, "I accidentally stepped on Princess Liu's earrings and broke them. Princess Liu is so generous, she shouldn't hold it against me, right?"

Xie Chuxue was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at Xie Mishuang and was speechless for a long time. "You, you..."

Suddenly, a severe abdominal pain came and Xie Chuxue's face turned pale in an instant.

"Ah——" She couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"Princess! The princess is about to give birth!" the maid beside her shouted in panic.

The ladies around were suddenly thrown into chaos.

"Quick! Go call the doctor!"

"Someone, come! Carry the princess to the side hall!"

Several strong maids rushed forward and carried Xie Chuxue, who was in excruciating pain, away.

Xie Mishuang watched all this with cold eyes, a barely perceptible sneer on the corner of his mouth.

The Queen Mother asked with concern, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Her Majesty the Queen Mother," a palace maid came forward to report, "Princess Liu is in labor and about to give birth."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother frowned slightly and said, "Quickly call the imperial physician and make sure to save the princess and the child."

"Yes." The maid took the order and left.

The noise at the banquet gradually died down, but everyone's eyes still fell on Xie Mishuang from time to time, and they whispered to each other.

"This Concubine Shu is so bold that she dared to crush Princess Liu's earrings in front of the Queen Mother."

"That's right, I think she did it on purpose!"

"Who knows? Maybe Princess Liu accidentally dropped it herself."

"I don't think so. The look in Concubine Shu's eyes clearly shows that she did it on purpose!"

Xie Mishuang turned a deaf ear to these discussions and continued to sit gracefully beside the empress dowager, chatting and laughing.
