Rebirth: Miss Xiao doesn’t want the heir apparent anymore

Xiao Zixi looked at the snow chrysanthemum in the cup and asked thoughtfully: "Master Zhang's hometown is Zhangjiacun, the border between Dajin and Jiangguo?"

"Yes, how does the Crown Princess know?" Zhang Yuewei asked curiously. Her father said that their village suffered a disaster more than 20 years ago and was razed to the ground. Since his father came to Beijing, he has never returned to his hometown and has never told anyone about himself. He is from Zhangjiacun.

Xiao Zixi suppressed the sadness in her heart and replied: "Miss Zhang probably doesn't know that snow chrysanthemum is unique to the mountain behind Zhangjiacun. People in Zhangjiacun think it has a unique and fragrant smell, so they pick it to make tea, but they also think it has a unique fragrance." Its meaning is unclear and it is not easy to give away, so other than drinking it myself, I don’t give it away to others, so no one knows about snow chrysanthemum except the people in Zhangjiacun.”

Zhang Yuewei knelt down quickly and said with a panic face: "Please forgive me, the eldest princess and the imperial concubine. I just want you to taste the snow chrysanthemum. I don't mean any disrespect." No wonder her parents didn't let her give the snow chrysanthemum to her. She just felt that there was no good tea at home to entertain the eldest princess and the crown princess, so she took out the snow chrysanthemums picked and dried last autumn.

Xiao Zixi helped Zhang Yuewei up and said with a smile: "I don't mean to blame you, I just feel it. When I was a child on the border, there was a pair of servants in the house who were from Zhangjiacun. They told me."

"What about the pair of servants? If my father knew there were survivors in Zhangjiacun, he would be very happy." Zhang Yuewei asked excitedly. Her father felt sad every time he mentioned his hometown.

Xiao Zixi shook her head and said solemnly: "They died in the fire and were reduced to ashes together with my Xiao Mansion."

The eldest princess on the side listened to the conversation between the two, her brows furrowed, and she had not heard Zi Xi talk about the things in the Xiao Mansion.

"I'm sorry, Crown Princess, but I mentioned your sadness." As she was about to kneel down again, Xiao Zixi pulled her and said helplessly: "Okay, don't kneel down. You spoke upright and righteously in Xunfang Hall that day. Where’s the courage?”

Zhang Yuewei smiled sheepishly and whispered: "Actually, I was also very scared that day, but fortunately Concubine Yu and Cheng Yanyan were locked up, otherwise I would not be able to sleep well."

"How did you know that day that Concubine Yu and Cheng Yanyan were planning to set up Mu Chennian?" Xiao Zixi asked softly.

"My concubine deliberately wet my daughter's clothes at the banquet. I was afraid that she might try to trick me, so I quietly went to the dressing room to change my clothes. As soon as I finished changing my clothes, I heard a noise. My daughter I was afraid that it was my concubine who came, so I hid in the closet, but who knew that it was Cheng Yanyan and a palace maid who came. They were discussing how to design Mu Shizi, and the court lady could hear it clearly." Zhang Yuewei said with a solemn expression. .

After hearing this, Xiao Zixi asked doubtfully: "Then why did you say you followed Cheng Yanyan out of curiosity when you saw her wearing the same clothes as me?"

"Aren't you afraid of offending others?" Zhang Yuewei smiled awkwardly and said sheepishly.

"Do you recognize that palace maid?" Xiao Zixi asked again.

Zhang Yuewei shook her head and replied: "I don't recognize her, she is a palace maid I have never seen before."

Xiao Zixi remained silent and stopped asking questions. The eldest princess said, "Now that you see it, can you tell it?"

"Yes, I can recognize anyone I have met before." Zhang Yuewei said with certainty.

"The eldest princess, Concubine Yu and Cheng Yanyan have already been punished. The maid was only following orders. It's better for the eldest princess to forget about it." Zhang Yuewei said cautiously while observing the eldest princess's face.
