Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen

Xia Zhi is Jiang Jiu's maid, and she doesn't have any golden fingers.

I just followed Jiang Jiu since I was a child, and learned a lot of great truths through osmosis.

She also learned to read and write with Jiang Jiu, and Jiang Jiu treated her not as a maid but as his own sister.

Unexpectedly, after arriving in the capital, Xia Zhi was forced to separate from Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu went to Prince Qi's mansion, and she stayed in her own mansion to take care of Nanny Qian.

Unexpectedly, she was brought to Prince Ling's Mansion by the Sixth Prince.

Prince Ling has no queen, no concubines, and even very few maids in his mansion.

When Xia Zhi woke up, he found himself imprisoned in the mansion and was so angry that he wanted to settle the score with Prince Ling.

But Prince Ling was too busy and was not seen every day, so she had no choice.

I can't go out, and I can't lose my temper at home. Jiang Jiu said that maids are also raised by their parents, and everyone is equal.

So everyone knew that Prince Ling had abducted a woman from outside.

The woman is very beautiful, tall and well-proportioned. She looks fat if she is a little fatter and thin if she is a little thinner. Her eyes are like round apricots and her eyebrows are like willow leaves.

She is very beautiful, but has a bit of a weird personality.

He was obviously very angry, but he didn't like to talk to anyone, was cold and indifferent, and was very arrogant.

Every time Prince Ling came back, there would be a big quarrel and crying, but no matter how much she quarreled, Prince Ling would not let her go.

She was disrespectful to her master and cold to her servants, but no one dared to argue with her.

Because she is beautiful.

Because she was the first woman the prince brought back from outside.

On this day, Prince Ling, who had not returned for several days, finally came back.

When Xia Zhi got the news, she rushed to Prince Ling's bedroom holding her skirt.

"I want to go back and find my girl."

Prince Ling was changing his clothes. He was startled for a moment and said, "Madam Jiang...she...is dead..."

"What? What happened?" Xia Zhi's face was pale and his whole body was trembling.

Prince Ling frowned. "Something happened in the palace today. The Queen's bedroom caught fire. She...died in the flames..."

Xia Zhi was stunned. The loud noise just now turned out to be an accident in the palace.

And Jiang Jiu...

Xia Zhi's eyes went dark and he fainted...

Prince Ling's heart tightened, and he stretched out his long arms, barely catching the person.

"Come, call for the imperial physician."

*******

Zhao Zhuoran looked at the little girl in front of him, as if he was back to yesterday.

On a spring afternoon, the delicate fragrance of flowers drifted through the gardens of Prince Qi's mansion. Prince Ling Zhao Zhuoran and Prince Qi Zhao Zhuoxi were strolling slowly along a bluestone path when they suddenly heard the clear sound of a zither.

The sound of the piano was not like that played by an ordinary maid. Sometimes it sounded like the gurgling of a spring, and sometimes like the flapping of a bird's wings. He couldn't help but follow the sound.

Turning around a bunch of blooming peonies, he saw a girl in a light green skirt sitting in a pavilion next to the rockery.

The girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with black hair like clouds, loosely tied up with a plain silver hairpin.

She lowered her eyes, and gently plucked the strings with her slender fingers. The sunlight shone on her through the gaps between the leaves, as if giving her a faint halo.

Zhao Zhuoran couldn't help but hold his breath. He had seen countless beauties, but never one as pure and elegant as this one.

The girl has picturesque eyebrows, a straight nose, and light pink lips. The most eye-catching thing is the small teardrop mole under her right eye, which adds a touch of charming charm to her.

The sound of the piano stopped suddenly.

The girl seemed to notice something and suddenly raised her head. The moment their eyes met, Zhao Zhuoran felt his heart skip a beat. Those eyes were crystal clear, yet seemed to hold countless stories.

"Your servant greets His Majesty." The girl hurriedly stood up to pay her respects, but accidentally knocked over the teacup on the table. The warm tea splashed on the back of her hand, and she let out a soft cry and subconsciously retracted her hand.

Zhao Zhuoran rushed forward and was about to grab her wrist, but Jiang Jiu grabbed it first: "Did you get burned?"

The girl's wrist is slender and white, and feels as soft as jade.

Zhao Zhuoran's gaze suddenly froze - there was a faint crescent-shaped birthmark on the inside of her wrist.

This birthmark...

Memories from fifteen years ago suddenly flooded back into his mind. He was only ten years old then, accompanying his brother the Emperor on a secret visit to the south of the Yangtze River.

In a small town, they met a father and daughter who were singing for money. The little girl was only five or six years old, beautiful and pretty, but she had this birthmark on her wrist.

The third prince smiled and said that the birthmark looked very much like the crescent moon in the sky.

And then...what happened next?

Zhao Zhuoran tried hard to recall. That night, the inn they were staying in suddenly caught fire, and in the chaos, the father and daughter disappeared.

The third prince was afraid that the father and daughter were in trouble, so he sent people to look for them for a long time but couldn't find them. This incident became a regret in his heart.

"Prince?" Jiang Jiu's clear voice brought him back to reality.

Zhao Zhuoran then realized that he was staring at her. Jiang Jiu glared at him and he coughed lightly: "What's your name?"

Jiang Jiu's eyes were unhappy: "She is my maid, Xia Zhi. Why, the prince wouldn't be interested in my maid."

Zhao Zhuoran knew that he was being abrupt, so he smiled faintly and changed the subject.

But his heart is always with this girl.

He wanted to know if the girl from that year was her?

I also want to know what happened to them, father and daughter?

How come she has become Jiang Jiu's maid now?
