Top white, rich and beautiful, the princess is reborn and the revenge story

As night fell, the palace was pitch black and eerily quiet.

A figure walked quickly along the thick palace wall and arrived at Fengyi Palace. "This servant requests to see the queen."

The queen hadn't slept yet. She sat on a stool with her eyes closed, and the organ was slowly combing her hair. There had been too many things going on recently, and the queen had developed a headache, so she had to comb her hair every day.

Luzhu led the person in, and it turned out to be Aunt Zeng. Aunt Zeng knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, it's done. Shaoyao agreed."

Nanny Zeng recounted the story, and the Queen said, "Well done, Luzhu. Give her the things."

Luzhu took out an oil-paper bag and handed it to Madam Zeng.

The Queen said, "Give this to Shaoyao and have her put it in Princess Rongchang's wine at the Skirt Tent Banquet. Don't let her worry about anything else."

"Yes."

Nanny Zeng lifted her clothes, found a small hole, and stuffed the paper bag in. This was her special way of hiding things, and very few people could find it.

"Luzhu, bring two ingots of gold to Madam Zeng."

"Yes."

Madam Zeng refused, "Your Majesty, the gold is unnecessary. This is just a small favor from me, and it's nothing compared to the help you gave me back then. Besides, the gold is too conspicuous, and if someone finds it, I won't be able to explain it."

The Queen did not force her, and Nanny Zeng quickly took her leave. Her lonely figure disappeared in the dark palace, as if she had been swallowed up.

The gate of Fengyi Palace was closed tightly, isolating it from the wind and rain outside.

The queen suddenly lost her sleepiness. She had been in this palace for more than twenty years. She had bribed people with money and oppressed people with power, but those who came for money and power eventually left because of money and power. Only those who had true feelings were left. In the end, they survived in the palace by relying on their conscience.

This Madam Zeng, whose name was Zeng Jia, was a maid in the palace of the late Concubine Min. When the late emperor passed away, except for the empress dowager and a few concubines who had given birth to children, all other concubines were sent to Xuanmiao Temple to chant sutras and pray for the late emperor.

When the late emperor was alive, he doted on Concubine Min very much, which made the empress dowager very unhappy. After the late emperor passed away, the empress ascended the throne, and the empress dowager had the sole power in the harem. In order to please the empress dowager, those servants who fawned on her deliberately tortured Concubine Min and wanted to kill her.

All the people who served Concubine Min had gone, leaving only Zeng Jia. She asked for help everywhere, but no one dared to help her. Finally, Zeng Jia came to the Queen. The Queen took pity on her loyalty and found an imperial physician to treat Concubine Min. Unfortunately, it was too late and Concubine Min died soon after.

Zeng Jia came to thank the Queen and promised to repay her in the future. However, the Queen did not take it seriously at that time. What could a little maid like her do in return?

Who could have imagined that twenty years later, the small kindness planted back then would blossom and bear fruit? It's true that everything has its cycle, and cause and effect are real.

As for Shaoyao's parents, they took the twenty gold coins and returned home trembling with fear. They handed them to the knights waiting there and said, "Sir, here are the twenty gold coins. Please take a look."

The hero Meng Jiu took the twenty taels of gold and weighed it in his hand. "Not bad, Li Chong. You've managed to collect twenty taels of gold in such a short time. You're quite capable!"

Li Chong trembled and said, "Sir, I've already given you the money. Can you let my son go?"

Meng Jiu snorted coldly, "Bring Li Tianci out!"

"Yes!"

Several other people dragged a young man out of the house. It was Shaoyao's younger brother Li Tianci. "Go!"

Li Tianci staggered over and hugged his parents.

Meng Jiu said, "Don't even think about leaving. Stay here honestly. If you dare to run, I'll kill you!"

She pulled out a dagger and stuck it on the table, frightening the Li family members to scream again, "No, we won't leave!"

Meng Jiu took his men away, and the Li family quickly closed the door and went into the house, not daring to open the door for business for many days.

This was Zhao Yuanqing's idea. If she wanted Shaoyao to betray Zhao Baozhu, she had to use the thing she cared about most, so she devised a plan.

Meng Jiu pretended to be a knight from another place and went to the Li family's Hu Bing shop for dinner. He created the illusion that Li Tianci had broken their jade pendant and forced the Li family to pay twenty taels of gold to redeem him. The Li family did not have this money at all, so they would definitely find Shaoyao. With the help of Madam Zeng's persuasion, Shaoyao would naturally join the game.

Meng Jiu returned to the Princess's Mansion and reported the results to Zhao Yuanqing. Zhao Yuanqing nodded and said, "Well done. Keep an eye on the Li family and don't let them get away."

"Yes."

Two days later, the wives of the court officials came to Fengyi Palace to pay their respects to the Queen.

A strange woman followed behind the ladies. She looked to be in her twenties. She wore a pink skirt and had her hair combed into a high bun, with pearls and jade in her hair.

The queen saw that she looked unfamiliar and asked, "Whose minister's wife is this?"

Fengqin looked at the name card and frowned as she replied, "Your Majesty, this is Mrs. Xu, the wife of Sun Ping, the governor of Longyou."

Like a lady? Then she's a concubine?

The Queen was furious. This kind of occasion for noble ladies to meet her was always attended by the wives of ministers. This was a rule established by the ancestors. How could a concubine like her come to see her, the Queen? This was a contempt for her authority! What did Sun Ping mean by this?

The queen wanted to get angry and kick him out, but when she thought about what Zhao Yuanqing had encountered recently, she couldn't guarantee that Sun Ping was not deliberately causing trouble, so she suppressed her anger.

After a few small talk, the Queen took out the fragrant dew that Zhao Yuanqing had given her. "This is a little gadget that Princess Shanzhen came up with. It's called fragrant dew. I find it very useful, so I'll share it with you."

Each lady was given an exquisite small glass bottle containing a small amount of fragrant dew. This was also Zhao Yuanqing's idea. He gave each person some and asked them to try it out, which would be enough to make them want to buy it.

The ladies opened the corks, and a burst of fragrance filled their noses. The fragrant dew inside was swaying, so beautiful that it was intoxicating.

These ladies were very talented in eating and drinking, and they quickly mastered the use of perfume. They all applied the perfume on themselves, and when they waved their sleeves, the fragrance wafted in the air, exuding a charming aura.

Soon someone laughed and said, "My Lady, this fragrance dew is so useful, but it's a pity there's too little of it, it's not enough!"

The Queen also smiled. "This is all I have here. I don't have any more. If you want some, go to Zui Xiang Feng on Suzaku Street and have a look."

The previous incident caused a big uproar. Everyone knew that Zui Xiang Feng was opened by Princess Shan Zhen, and they also knew that this time it was the Queen who recommended it to Princess Shan Zhen. They had to give the Queen face, so everyone nodded frequently and said they wanted to buy two bottles.

At this time, a gentle voice said, "Empress, when I go to Zui Xiang Feng, I must go shopping lavishly and support Princess Shan Zhen. I have heard about Princess Shan Zhen and admire her very much."

The person who was speaking was Sun Ping's wife, Xu. Although she was a concubine, she was not afraid at all in front of the main wife in the room. She looked at the queen with a smile and spoke.

Everyone was silent. This Xu was incredibly bold. For a concubine to come and pay respects to the Empress was already presumptuous enough, yet she actually dared to speak. Was she trying to humiliate Princess Shanzhen by offering her money? She truly had no fear of death.

The Queen felt that Xu was provoking the Princess by trying to throw money at her. She thought too highly of herself. She said, "There's no need to go on a shopping spree. Just buy what you need."

Seeing her cold face, Xu Shi seemed to have no feelings, and replied with a smile, "Yes, I understand."

After talking for a while, the queen became tired and all the ladies left the palace.

"Luzhu, send someone to ask Princess Shanzhen to come to the palace immediately."

"Yes."
