Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to

Seeing that his wife was fine, Xu Miao said nothing more and followed her into the hall.

As soon as the wife of Duke Dingguo entered the hall, the necklace she wore on her chest attracted the attention of most of the noble ladies.

The lady, with her big belly, supported Xu Miao and walked towards her sister-in-law under the gaze of the other ladies.

The pearl necklace swayed back and forth in front of the lady's chest as she walked, flashing a dazzling light.

As soon as Lady Dingguo entered the room, she saw her sister-in-law waving at her. Holding Xu Miao's hand, she greeted the people around her and walked towards the Prime Minister's wife.

"Oh, you better be careful. Why is your belly so big? When I visited you a few days ago, your belly wasn't this big. Is it growing again?"

When the Prime Minister's wife, Shen Shaoyi, saw her sister-in-law coming with a big belly, she was extremely worried.

Her sister-in-law has been close to her since childhood. When she first got married, her sister-in-law was still a little girl of four or five years old. She stared at her with big eyes and called her sister-in-law sweetly, which made the Prime Minister's wife very fond of her.

When her sister-in-law got married, the prime minister's wife was even sadder than her mother-in-law, as she felt that the cabbages she raised were eaten by pigs.

Although she knew that Zhou Chenli was very reliable, she just couldn't bear to let him go.

Over the years, she has always treated her sister-in-law as her own daughter. When the General's Mansion incident happened some time ago, the Prime Minister's wife scolded the General's Mansion for a full hour before she calmed down.

Xu Miao helped the lady sit down, and he and Nanny Wang stood behind her to serve her.

Xu Miao also met the legendary prime minister's wife as he wished.

The Prime Minister's wife is gentle and generous, yet dignified. Her every frown and smile makes people feel like they are in the spring breeze.

She looks like a lady from a wealthy family. No wonder the lady always praises her whenever she mentions her.

"Arou, your necklace is really beautiful. I see there is a pendant on the back. It looks very novel." Seeing that his sister-in-law was sitting down, Shen Shaoyi asked about the necklace.

"Sister-in-law, it was A Miao who re-stitched it for me and changed it to the current look. I like it too."

"Look at this pendant at the back. It's the jade token the Duke gave me back then. I never figured out how to use it, so it's perfect to have it at the back."

After the lady finished speaking, she turned sideways to show the prime minister's wife the jade token behind her. The prime minister's wife was also amazed after seeing it.

He also turned around to look at Xu Miao who was standing behind the lady, and Xu Miao quickly bowed to the prime minister's wife.

Xu Miao took the opportunity of the conversation between her aunt and sister-in-law to look at the top-ranking women in the capital around her.

The seats on the top floor were empty. Xu Miao thought that they should be the seats for the Queen Mother and the Empress, as these bigwigs had not arrived yet.

Those sitting a little below should be the emperor's concubines. There are more than a dozen stunning beauties, dressed in brocade clothes, sitting in their seats, chatting and laughing in low voices with the people around them.

Xu Miao.....This emperor is really lucky. Those dozen or so beauties, some thin and some plump, each have their own merits, but each of them is a top beauty.

For some reason, Xu Miao thought of Han Yue Niang, who was raised in a farm in the suburbs.

I don’t know what made Duke Dingguo fall in love with Han Yue Niang. Compared with these beauties, Han Yue Niang is just a country girl who is not even qualified to be a maid.

Below that is the floor where the wives of the emperor and his family sit. They should be the wives of royal relatives or important officials in the court.

There are no concubines here. They are all legitimate wives who are married through formal marriages and wear imperial robes.

Looking further back, Xu Miao actually found a few familiar faces.

The two wives of General Zhang sat slightly in the middle, while his biological mother, Zhao, and Xu Mingzhu sat a little behind them.

It is almost on par with General Zhang’s Mansion.

Zhao's mother and daughter, wearing colorful clothes, looked a little out of place sitting among a group of ladies.

This also made Xu Miao a little confused. Even if Xu Jingyi had been promoted in the Xu Mansion, he had not yet reached a mid-level position. How could he be sitting in a place similar to the General's Mansion?

Zhao's position was specially arranged by the Queen Mother.

The emperor sent someone to instruct the Duke of Dingguo to take good care of his wife, and at the same time, he told the empress to arrange Xu Jingyi's family in the middle position.

He said that Xu Jingyi had done a good job on this mission and asked the Empress to take better care of his family at the palace banquet.

Since Zhao entered the house, a maid has led her and Xu Mingzhu to sit in this seat. This made Zhao and Xu Mingzhu very excited.

"Mom, why do you let us sit here?" Xu Mingzhu tried her best to suppress her joy and asked Zhao in a low voice.

But you must not laugh out loud, because sitting here the Queen Mother and the Empress can see you clearly.

Her chances of becoming the Crown Prince's concubine were much greater.

Zhao was also trying hard to control her facial expression, as she was afraid she would burst out laughing. But the joy in her eyes and eyebrows could not be suppressed.

"Mingzhu, maybe your father did a good job on this job, so he lets us sit here."

"I told you your dad is a good guy, and now he's sitting in the middle."

Last year, Zhao and Xu Mingzhu also attended the palace banquet, but they sat in the back corner.

I couldn't even see what the Empress Dowager and the Empress looked like.

After leaping from the back corner to his current position, Zhao felt that he could finally hold his head high.

In sharp contrast to the Zhao mother and daughter are the two ladies in General Zhang's mansion.

Old Madam Zhang was looking down and talking to a beautiful woman beside her. Madam Zhang was sitting alone in her seat with a gloomy face, in a daze.

Because the family had just finished a funeral, Mrs. Zhang wore a formal dress and did not wear any jewelry.

The imperial robe made Madam Zhang look dull and gray. Compared with the smiling women in brocade clothes around her, Madam Zhang looked like an outsider.

Mrs. Zhang didn't care what others thought of her and just sat there angrily.

The beautiful woman accompanying the old lady was General Zhang’s newly promoted concubine.

The old lady took advantage of the palace banquet to bring her out.

Looking around the hall, there were wives from all the mansions, except for the general's mansion which had brought a concubine.

Isn't this a complete slap in the face? He's slapping her in the face in front of everyone.

How could she face people in the capital in the future? Now everyone knew that the general had a concubine in his mansion. She hated the old lady to death.

It must have been her mother-in-law who gave the general the idea, which made her so embarrassed today.

And that vixen, she only knows how to flatter the old lady and smile at her without even noticing how people around her are looking at her.

Xu Miao was watching happily when she felt someone pulling her sleeve from below.

"What are you looking at, Miao? I pulled you a few times before you came to your senses."

Seeing that it was Madam looking for her, Xu Miao hurriedly bent down, lowered her head beside Madam and asked, "What's wrong, Madam? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, no, I just want you to see someone."

The lady said hurriedly.

"Did you see the lady chatting with my sister-in-law? She is the most powerful lady in our Great Zhou Dynasty."

When Xu Miao heard this, he knew it was gossip.

Looking in the direction indicated by the lady's eyes, I saw the prime minister's wife chatting and laughing enthusiastically with a tall lady wearing imperial robes.

"That is the wife of the General of the Cavalry, the mother of the Crown Princess. She is a very powerful person."

Xu Miao...the emperor's relative!
