The Return of the Marquis's Daughter

The imperial concubine said calmly, "Lian Qiao, go to Concubine Zhang's place."

Lian Qiao immediately stepped out and saluted, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Empress Wen frowned slightly, looking at the Imperial Concubine who had overstepped her authority. Even though she cursed in her heart, she smiled and said, "The Imperial Concubine is very thoughtful."

"It's all because of your good teaching, Your Majesty. I am just like the saying goes, 'Birds of a feather flock together.'" The imperial concubine replied with a smile.

Empress Wen has always been a woman with a sharp tongue. In the early years, the imperial concubine suffered many losses at the hands of Empress Wen. Fortunately, she was young and beautiful in those years and won the emperor's heart, so she was not suppressed by Empress Wen.

Over the years, the imperial concubine has gained experience from suffering losses everywhere, and she really has to thank Queen Wen!

Concubine Shu tried hard to suppress her smile, as the Imperial Concubine was really heartbroken. Empress Wen no longer paid attention to the Imperial Concubine, her eyes narrowed slightly, and instantly fell on Concubine Shu.

However, the first thing he saw was the jade phoenix hairpin in Concubine Shu's hair. After taking a closer look, Empress Wen's complexion looked increasingly uglier.

Empress Wen was the mother of a country, so her phoenix hairpin was of course unique and incomparable.

The four concubines in the harem all have palace rules, even the phoenix hairpins they wear are different, but the phoenix hairpin in Concubine Shu's hair today is the first one.

Empress Wen clenched her fist tightly around the throne, and it was clear at a glance that it was a gift from His Majesty.

Prince An's triumphant return brought Concubine Shu with him. This bitch is so lucky! Not only did she not have to go through a ten-month pregnancy, she also got a big son for free. Now she is even given such a great honor. Why...

And that Miss Qin, His Majesty didn't dislike her at all for growing up in the Qin family manor. They have been planning for so long, but there hasn't been any change. How can Qin Wenlan be worthy of the position of Princess An?

I originally thought that Prince An had a treasure trove of Miss Qin, and that it would be the safest thing for her Yun'er in the future. Who knew that His Majesty didn't dislike it at all.

At this point, Queen Wen was filled with regret. Her son had begged her to allow him to marry Qin Wenlan as his concubine, so why didn't she agree to make some plans for him?

Or maybe she looked down on Qin Wenlan, who grew up in the Qin family manor, and thought that her son should be paired with those real noble ladies.

Who would have thought that Qin Wenlan had such ability to make money, and had the support of the Min family, which was rich enough to rival a country.

Although she had the shortcomings of growing up in a manor, she managed to turn these shortcomings into advantages that were admired by His Majesty. Of course, this was also because of her grandfather, the patriarch of the Min family.

Perhaps it is because of her strong genes. As the granddaughter of the Min clan leader, she is really a woman who is good at making money.

And she is also a very good planner. How can there be such a person in this world? How old is she now, yet she has such intelligence, skills and courage?

We must not let this go on, otherwise it will be a huge obstacle to Yun'er's future.

After thinking about this, Queen Wen didn't want to say a word. The imperial concubine was no longer as stupid as before.

In the past, she always flattered Empress Wen and thought about her every day. Now that she has come to her senses, she doesn't want to liven up the atmosphere at all. The entire Yiku Palace instantly became as quiet as a chicken.

Concubine Shu lowered her eyes, and Concubine De frowned slightly, with a thousand thoughts in her mind.

At this moment, Concubine Zhang arrived. She walked in a hurry and looked nervous. After entering the Yiku Palace, she kept her eyes down and walked forward cautiously to pay her respects to Queen Wen.

"Your humble servant pays respects to Her Majesty Queen Wen. May Your Majesty live long and healthy."

"Get up." Queen Wen said with a faint expression.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Zhang stood up tremblingly, and then bowed to the other concubines.

The Imperial Concubine looked at Concubine Zhang and said with a smile, "Concubine Zhang, I know you are timid, but as a mother of such a happy event as today, you should stand up straight and not retreat, even for Prince Yu."

"Your Majesty is right." Concubine Zhang still responded with a humble look, not daring to say any unnecessary words.

Empress Wen glanced at the Imperial Concubine, then looked at Concubine Zhang and said, "At least you are still a member of the same palace as my sister from the same clan. If you encounter anything you don't understand in the future, please ask someone around you to come to Yikun Palace and ask Madam Li."

"Thank you, Her Majesty." Concubine Zhang said hurriedly.

The imperial concubine curled her lips, but didn't say anything.

Empress Wen placed Concubine Zhang in Qixia Palace, and the main hall of Qixia Palace was used by them, the daughter of the Wen family. Concubine Wen and Empress Wen were of the same clan.

Concubine Zhang lived under the nose of Concubine Wen. If she had not been cautious and careful, she would have turned into a pile of withered bones long ago.

It is really disgusting that Empress Wen is pretending to be a good person. I am afraid that she has no good intentions when she pays a New Year's visit to the chicken.

Concubine Zhang sat cautiously in the last seat, not daring to say a word, her body tense. Listening to Concubine Shu and Concubine Gui talking and laughing on the side, she seemed to feel a little relieved.

In fact, she was already sweating profusely. This Yikun Palace was really not a place for people to stay. Of course, she also knew that whether she came today or not, it would be a matter of right and wrong.

She even went to Consort Wen to pass on the message. How could Empress Wen not know about it?

But Wen Zhaoyi did not respond to her, so how could she rashly come to Yikun Palace today.

But Prince Yu would go to greet Prince An, so she knew that she still had to come to Yiku Palace, but she couldn't come on her own initiative, otherwise she would be accused of being inflexible.

But as long as you live safely, you don’t have to care about those things. If you lose your life, what else is there to talk about?

Defei glanced sideways at Zhang Shufei who was not far away, with a bit of disdain on her face. What good would it be for a person who had no family to rely on, even if he had a son?

I can't get the favor of His Majesty, and I'm always suppressed by the Queen. What's the point of living such a miserable life?

Even though Concubine Zhang kept her head down and didn't look her in the eye, she could feel Defei's undisguised contempt and disdain.

She knew that there were few women in the deep palace who could look up to her, and only Concubine Shu was a truly good person.

But she couldn't care less. After all, others looked down on her and couldn't bring her any benefits. Fortunately, her son was smarter than her and found Prince An as his backer.

About an hour later, Gu Changan came to Yiku Palace to pay his respects to Queen Wen.
