"This is Sister Lan's daughter, right? She looks exactly like Sister Lan. Child, come here quickly and let me take a good look at her."

Nangong Mo looked at Qi Min'er in surprise, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and then he lowered his eyes, making it difficult to see his emotions. However, Qi Min'er's performance today was beyond his expectations.

The woman in front of him was so ordinary, how could she be compared with Lan'er? He had always heard Qi Min'er talk about how close she and Lan'er were, and how Lan'er had been so kind to her. She had always remembered Jiang Lan's kindness and dared not forget it for a moment. But now it seemed that was not entirely true.

Such a simple thing can't be seen, could it be that the good things in the past were all pretended? I don't want Jiang Lan's existence to disappear in this palace, so I left Qi Min'er in the palace as a decoration.

Qi Min'er's role now is limited to this. If she can't even do this, then there is really no need for her to continue to exist.

Qi Min'er didn't know what Nangong Mo was thinking. Seeing Nangong Mo looking at her deeply, she suddenly felt unprecedented excitement. After all, she knew how much Nangong Mo valued Jiang Lan from the beginning to the end. For this lost princess, he had never given up in his heart over the years.

In order to search for Her Royal Highness the Princess, she even set up a secret team. Although it only consisted of thirteen people, she had heard that everyone in this secret team had special skills and could fight against a hundred people alone. However, except for Nangong Mo, no one knew their true identities. They were scattered everywhere, and they might be leaders of a group or local beggars, lurking everywhere, just to find the existence of the Princess.

Now that the princess has been found, I wonder if His Majesty will hand them over to the princess. If so, she must make good use of the princess and use her for her own benefit to seek the well-being of her son.

Thinking of her son, a hint of sadness flashed across Concubine Qi's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and only her love for Jiang Xinxue remained in her eyes.

When Jiang Xinxue was looking at Concubine Qi, Concubine Qi was also secretly looking at this so-called Princess. Seeing her so timid, a trace of contempt flashed in Concubine Qi's eyes.

She had never thought that the daughter of the woman who was once called a remarkable woman would be so mediocre. However, it was also good this way, at least it was easy to control. However, the old man behind her made her feel a little difficult to deal with, but she also felt a little familiar with him.

Perhaps because she was far away, Concubine Qi did not see it clearly, but this was not an important matter to her, so she naturally did not pay too much attention to it. She put the matter aside and waved to Jiang Xinxue to signal her to come over.

Everyone was so focused on Jiang Xinxue that they didn't notice the flash of surprise in Doctor Qi's eyes when Concubine Qi opened her mouth. Although he quickly concealed it, Jiang Xinxue could still sense his uneasiness and nervousness.

However, she was only concerned about the situation at hand and did not think much about Doctor Qi's abnormal behavior. She thought that this was the first time she had seen such a big scene, so she behaved so abnormally.

Hearing Concubine Qi's call, Jiang Xinxue couldn't help but glance at Nangong Junze. Seeing him nod slightly, Jiang Xinxue walked towards Concubine Qi nervously.

Nangong Mo looked at Jiang Xinxue who was getting closer and closer to him, and the feeling of alienation became more and more obvious. Even though her face did look a bit like Jiang Lan, he didn't have that kind of intimacy in his heart.

However, when he thought that her identity had been confirmed by Nangong Junze, even though Nangong Mo felt something was wrong, in order to prevent his intuition from being wrong and ruining the relationship between father and daughter, Nangong Mo was still very easygoing with her.

But this doesn't mean that he won't ask someone to check her identity carefully. He has waited for so many years, so naturally he won't waste a little time.

He would rather make a hundred mistakes than let his daughter be treated poorly by him, so Nangong Mo was not too serious with her at this time, and there was even a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Even so, Nangong Mo had already put away some of his aura, which was a huge pressure on Jiang Xinxue. Feeling the pressure from the emperor, everyone looked at her.

Jiang Xinxue's legs suddenly felt weak. She was just a little concubine's daughter. When had she ever encountered such a scene that attracted the attention of so many people? She felt timid and was at a loss as to what to do. Seeing the smiling face of Concubine Qi, Jiang Xinxue smiled slightly and then knelt on the ground. She looked at Concubine Qi and bowed respectfully.

"Your son greets his father, the emperor, and his mother, the empress."

As soon as Jiang Xinxue finished speaking, Nangong Mo's face darkened instantly. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he looked straight at Jiang Xinxue. The hall suddenly fell silent and the silence was unusual. Everyone lowered their heads.

You should know that when Nangong Mo ascended the throne, he only posthumously named the former princess as the queen and gave her the posthumous title of the Virtuous Queen to commend her virtues and contributions.

Even now, the throne of Queen is still vacant. Now, their newly found Princess Royal calls Concubine Qi "Mother Queen" right from the start. One can imagine how bad the Emperor's mood is at this moment. If he had not been concerned about the identity of the Princess, he would have had her dragged out and beheaded long ago.

Thinking back, even when Nangong Mo was forced to enrich his harem due to pressure, their emperor only appointed Qi Min'er, a descendant of a loyal and righteous man, as the Imperial Concubine, and did not make her the Queen. However, that was also because her Qi family had no successors and there was no other threat. The other concubines were not favored at all and were just decorations in the harem.

Because the Qi family now only has Concubine Qi, even though she is from a military family, she has no one behind her and no children, and will not pose a threat to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. That's why His Majesty has some preference for her, but it's just as a routine, and it's rare for His Majesty to summon her on weekdays.

When this matter was mentioned, everyone in Nanmo Kingdom, from the court officials to the common people, all admired the Imperial Concubine Qi Min'er. This was because she and the late Queen were like sisters. So, in order to ensure that the Crown Prince Nangong was firmly seated in the Eastern Palace, she never had her own biological children. She only wanted to support Nangong Junze and take care of the trivial matters in the harem so that the Emperor would have no worries.

So Nangong Mo also respected her, but this did not mean that Concubine Qi could surpass the position of the Queen.

Concubine Qi naturally saw the changes in Nangong Mo. Seeing Nangong Mo's cold face, Concubine Qi couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
