Xia Xizhi picked up the teacup, but the Queen Mother did not take it, just like in the original plot.

He began to lecture me from a superior position.

"I know you've been spoiled since childhood, but now that you've married my son, you must change your ways and prioritize your virtue over his. Your character isn't worthy of the position of empress, but Yan'er, mindful of your childhood friendship, has given you the position, so I won't say anything."

You must learn to be grateful and be a virtuous queen. You must not be as arrogant and jealous as before. There will definitely be new people entering the palace in the future. It is your duty to ensure that His Majesty receives the support and that they flourish.

When the Queen Mother said this, she saw that Xia Xizhi did not refute and seemed to stand there obediently. She felt a little happy in her heart. What a daughter of the Prime Minister's family, even if she entered the palace, she had to listen to her lectures obediently.

"You should be preparing for the selection of concubines for His Majesty recently. By the way, my niece Xiuchun is beautiful and intelligent, and is suitable for being a concubine. You should arrange for someone to clean up Yongning Palace, and she will move into the palace in the future."

"What did you say, mother?"

Before the Queen Mother finished speaking, Xia Xizhi interrupted her in disbelief, her eyes wide open.

As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes and he looked aggrieved and angry.

"Mother! I just got married yesterday, and you want me to choose a concubine for Your Majesty today? You are going too far! I am the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's family. I have never despised the Empress Dowager's background. I serve her as my own mother and listen to your instructions obediently!"

"Your Majesty, out of pity for me, wanted to let me sleep a little longer, but I respect the Queen Mother. Since she doesn't like me, I won't come anymore!"

"I love Your Majesty and want you to take me as a concubine, but I can't do it!" Xia Xizhi roared angrily.

As he said this, he casually swung the teacup in his hand, and it flew towards the Queen Mother, who was instantly splashed with tea...

Xia Xizhi was completely 'unaware' of this. The moment he threw her away, he fiercely wiped away a handful of non-existent tears, turned around and ran away crying...

The Queen Mother's uncontrolled scream erupted behind him.

"Ahhh! Ai's Yunjin!"

Xia Xizhi couldn't help but almost laughed out loud. This empress dowager was really too petty.

The clothes made her lose control.

But she could also understand that the empress dowager was born a foot-washing maid and her family was poor. In addition, the national treasury was empty and the funds were overwhelmed by the flood in Jizhou. The harem was very poor now.

The brocade used in the Empress Dowager's dress was sent to the palace by the Xia family.

Even in the following years, the harem had to rely on the original owner's dowry, which was comparable to the national treasury, for support, until Zhou Yan gradually developed his own power and the national treasury was filled.

After leaving the door, Xia Xizhi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Since everyone says she is spoiled, then let her be spoiled to the end.

What can the old immortal queen do to her~~

( ̄▽ ̄)~*

The maids and eunuchs were dumbfounded when they saw this scene...

I've never seen such a scene before. The new daughter-in-law offered tea to her mother-in-law, but she ran away halfway through...

In a corner, there was a faint laugh that was barely audible.

Guyu's mouth twitched. He didn't dare to look up at the flustered empress dowager. He quickly turned around and followed Xia Xizhi.

After a light cough, the other palace maids came to their senses and hurried to follow.

.......

The Queen Mother's hands were shaking with anger.

"She, how could she be so arrogant and presumptuous! She's rebelling!"

"Does she look down on me? She just said that I was born a foot-washing maid, right? She actually said it in public. How can she be so rude!"

Nanny Zhao was also shocked by Xia Xizhi. She had heard that the daughter of the prime minister was spoiled, and it seemed that she was even more arrogant than Xia Xizhi.

Coming back to his senses, he quickly said,

"Empress Dowager, regardless of her origin, you are now the Empress Dowager. Even if she is the daughter of a chancellor and of noble birth, she still has to serve you. If she commits insubordination, at the very least, it is unfilial, and at the worst, it is disrespect for imperial authority. You can execute her."

I think she will regret it when she returns. Your Majesty will definitely scold her when he hears about it. She will come to you on her own initiative and beg you on her knees. She will have to do whatever you ask her to do. Your Majesty, please don't be anxious."

These words made the emotional Queen Mother feel a little better.

"You're right. Don't be impatient. Wait until she comes and begs on her knees!"

"By the way, send someone to have Xiuchun enter the palace tomorrow."

Aunt Zhao replied, "Yes."

......

Sitting in the sedan chair, Xia Xizhi thought of what the Queen Mother had just said. Her niece Xiuchun...

Thinking of the original plot, Xia Xizhi couldn't help laughing.

This empress dowager is really something. She has no background but still wants the next generation of emperor to come from her Zhang family. She has no self-awareness at all.

The Empress Dowager's family, the Zhang family, were all poor commoners, and her niece Zhang Xiuchun was only slightly pretty in appearance.

She couldn't help Zhou Yan at all, and Zhou Yan didn't like her either. She even drugged her own son and made her niece climb into bed...

Zhang Xiuchun was also very happy and got pregnant in one try.

Because she was pregnant and had the support of the empress dowager, Zhang Xiuchun didn't even take the original owner seriously, and the original owner naturally didn't indulge her. The two of them fought openly and secretly, and both sides suffered losses, which benefited Ruan Qingqing who sat on the sidelines and watched the fight.

The original owner's attention was all on Zhang Xiuchun, so he didn't notice the eye contact between his sister and Zhou Yan.

Later, when Zhang Xiuchun was six months pregnant, she died of heavy bleeding caused by Ruan Qingqing and was eliminated from the story.

......

Just as he was thinking about it, a figure flashed by at the corner of the road, making Xia Xizhi pause.

Banquet Master?

"Stop, there seems to be a kitten over there. I'm going to take a look. You don't have to follow me. Guyu, you guys don't have to follow me either."

"Yes."

"Yes."

The sedan stopped and Xia Xizhi got out and walked towards the corner.

The palace maids and eunuchs were all wondering where the cat was, but no one dared to question the queen. They all obeyed the queen's instructions and stood still.

Xia Xizhi walked around the corner and saw Yan Sili standing there with an unclear expression. He raised his eyebrows.

Slowly approaching him,

"Commander Yan, are you waiting for me? I was just looking for Commander Yan. I want to ask, is Commander Yan still here tonight? I'm waiting for you."

Xia Xizhi exhaled like orchid, poked his chest with his fingers, and smiled slightly.

Yan Sili's eyes suddenly darkened, and he grabbed her reckless hand with his big hand, and suddenly smiled.

"Your Majesty, are you very satisfied with me? That really surprises me..."

Just now, I seemed to see Your Majesty crying as she emerged from the Empress Dowager's presence. I heard it was because the Empress Dowager wanted Your Majesty to select a concubine for His Majesty? Your Majesty is so devoted to His Majesty...

It is said that the Queen loves His Majesty deeply.

How come she's hooking up with another man behind my back?

So, does Your Majesty really like His Majesty... or are you just pretending? Or is it that some demon has possessed you, Your Majesty?"

Yan Sili held Xia Xizhi's hand tightly and moved his body closer to Xia Xizhi, giving off a sense of oppression. His dark eyes were filled with inquiry and sharpness.

He followed Zhou Yan and had seen the eldest daughter of the Xia family many times. From his observation, although she looked the same last night and now, she was a completely different person.

If she was pretending before, then her acting skills must be too good. He couldn't believe that someone could pretend to this extent...
