The couple separated, one went to the Qinzheng Hall and the other went to the harem.

"Sister, you're here." Concubine De came out to pick her up immediately after receiving the news.

"Being personally greeted by Concubine De is enough for me to brag about for a long time." An Yueqiu joked with a smile.

Concubine De pretended to be angry and said, "Sister knows how to tease me. I have something big to say this time."

After the two entered the palace, Concubine De told Emperor Shun's plan, and An Yueqiu felt that it was indeed the case.

She felt strange on the way here. Normally, with this face on her face, it would be best not to appear in the palace during the special period when the Queen Mother returned to the palace.

During these days, she didn't even leave the house because she was afraid that someone would see her and spread the word to the Queen Mother.

After receiving the notice from Concubine De, although she was confused, she entered the palace without hesitation. Now that she heard Concubine De say this, she felt at ease.

I heard that the Queen Mother was still sad for a long time because of the death of the "Queen", and she felt guilty about this.

She was deep in thought, and Concubine De touched her hand and said warmly: "Sister, are you worried?"

"Not at all." She shook her head, "It's just a little sad. I heard that the Queen Mother was sad for a long time and was seriously ill. I feel ashamed of her. It's a blessing to be able to apologize to her."

"Sister, His Majesty means that you can enter and exit the palace normally, and you don't have to continue to avoid the Queen Mother. We will secretly pay attention to the Queen Mother's reaction. If you can accept this, you can apologize to the Queen Mother."

"If the Queen Mother cannot accept it, then you must fight to death that you are An Yueqiu, and you must not admit that you are Duan Qingqiu."

An Yueqiu looked reserved and nodded. She understood what Concubine De meant. The fact that she faked her own death could be a big or small matter. In the worst case, the queen faked her own death and remarried a minister. This was contempt for the emperor and imperial power, and it was a major crime against the nine tribes.

If the situation was wrong, she would not be able to admit it even to death. The matter was very involved. Once investigated, no one from the Duan family, An family, or Mo family could escape.

"Thank you sister for planning for me. I'll save you. I'll be careful."

The two sisters chatted for a long time before An Yueqiu left the palace. She would definitely not be stupid enough to hang out in front of the Queen Mother.

She doesn't have to be as careful as before. Fortunately, her current identity is that of her original cousin. Even if others think that the two of them look too similar, she has an excuse.

In the eldest prince's palace, An Yueyue was kicked out of the palace along with Hua Nuer. The queen mother was afraid that the two would disturb the eldest prince's concubine's pregnancy, so she simply drove them away together.

The serious master of the house is not here, An Yueyue Houhou calls himself the king and regards himself as the master of the prince's house. He bosses around the servants all day long, shouts and drinks, and lives a very comfortable life.

"Miss, this is the life you should live. The housekeeper has brought the most fashionable fabrics now. I observed that the nobles in the backyard have not been given such good materials." Pearl looked envious, with a twinkle in her eye. The flickering light.

In the past few days, she had been in and out of the eldest prince's mansion, and everyone treated her with courtesy, and some secretly gave her money, just to please her.

It gave her the illusion that she was no longer a lowly slave, but a superior master!

Glancing at the master who was admiring the pearl hairpin, she was serving him very attentively. She knew that all this was because of the close relationship between the master and the eldest prince.

"Humph, what kind of masters are they? They are just a group of poor people who are dependent on His Highness. I have already inquired about it. Your Highness has not been able to summon these old and lustful women in the backyard for a long time."

She only thought that the eldest prince disliked the women in the backyard because they lost their appearance, and she was disgusted with them. She never thought about the deeper things.

"A woman who has lost her favor is nothing. It is already generous of me to get some ordinary fabrics. Okay, put these things away, I will go and rest for a while."

An Yueyue had to raise her hands and waited for Zhuer to help her back to bed to rest. Her posture was even more dignified than the empress in the palace.

Zhu'er served with more attentiveness, and An Yueyue was very helpful. The master and servant had no idea that the backyard had been turned upside down at this time.

The same curses came from different courtyards, and the loudest sounds came from Hua Nuer's courtyard.

"Master, look at the good things Fang Yueyue has done, how dare she do this to you! These materials look like leftovers from someone else's selection. They are all last year's fashionable colors. She definitely did it on purpose!" The little maid was indignant.

The woman who was drinking tea still had a warm smile on her face. If someone who didn't know about it saw it, they might think that she was a very generous girl who didn't take pleasure in things or feel sad about herself.

But the little maid knew that the more her master pretended not to care, the more resentful he felt in his heart!

"It's really interesting. Before we even entered the house, we started acting like the matron of the house. We wanted to send some news to the other sisters. We can't let an outsider bully us."

After saying this, Hua Nuer rolled her eyes and suddenly thought of a brilliant idea, which could not only test her curiosity, but also punish Fang Yueyue.

"You come here, you do this..."

The maid bowed her head and accepted the order.

On the second day, Fang Yueyue's life was not so comfortable.

In the backyard, several women wearing different colors of clothing sat together and chatted. They talked about the fabrics delivered yesterday. Dissatisfaction flashed across their faces invariably.

"We only respect her for the sake of the eldest prince's concubine, but we didn't expect that she doesn't know how to restrain herself."

Another person answered: "Yes, in my opinion, we don't need to give her any face at all. She is just a concubine. According to my observation, she is not close to the eldest princess at all."

"You don't understand this, don't you? People's eyes are on His Highness. He has great ambitions. Maybe we will become sisters in the near future." A woman wearing a jasper begonia hairpin said mockingly.

Several people laughed one after another, and the laughter spread far away.

Fang Yueyue, who was not far away, heard the taunts of several people clearly, but she could not go out to question her. Although she was beautiful, she was just a concubine as others said.

She can have the upper hand when neither side breaks out, but if there is a fight, she won't be able to suppress these bitches just by virtue of her status.

When she returned to the yard, she smashed three sets of tea sets. "Bitch, bitch, a bunch of bitches!"

How dare you mock her!

How unfair is God, why did he give her such a low status? It would be better if she was the legitimate daughter.

"Zhu'er, go buy some of that medicine. I can't wait a moment longer. I must become the eldest prince's woman as soon as possible."

"Miss, please think again." Pearl was shocked. This was too rash. She knew she couldn't persuade her master, so she moved her aunt out. "Miss, have you forgotten? Before leaving, my aunt asked you not to act rashly, but to plan for it slowly."

"That's enough, shut up! Don't mention my aunt. She can keep her composure and will slowly plan for it. But she has been plotting for more than ten years. Not only is she still a small concubine, but she has also made me a concubine."

"If she had been more upbeat, how could I be laughed at today? I must not let my children be like me!"

Seeing the ambition in her eyes, Pearl felt cold in her heart. Based on her inquiries in the past few days, she understood that not just anyone could be the prince's concubine.

Talent, appearance, and family background are both indispensable. The eldest lady can become the prince's concubine not only because of her family background. The eldest lady has both ability and political integrity, and has a good reputation.

Although the young lady and the eldest lady come from the same house, they are completely different.

Pearl only dared to think about these things by herself. She didn't dare to say a word, let alone dissuade her. She could only nod in agreement.

"Miss, I overheard a message. Hua Liangyuan found that a woman had the same face as the deceased queen. It was not similar, but exactly the same. She was going to report this to the Queen Mother."

"I heard from her that this is a great achievement. Once this matter is exposed, the entire royal family will be humiliated. As an informer, she is a great contributor to saving the reputation of the royal family. Maybe His Highness the First Prince will be happy and promote her to be a concubine. Where is the queen?"

"Is this true?" An Yueyue was very excited. Her chance had come!

"It's absolutely true. When their master and servant were talking, the slave was squatting down to pick up something. They definitely didn't notice the slave."

After receiving Zhu'er's affirmative answer, Fang Yueyue was elated. This was indeed a great achievement. If the credit was hers, wouldn't she soon become a concubine?

She is younger and more beautiful than Fang Wan, and there are still decades to come. Maybe one day Fang Wan will suddenly die of a serious illness, and then she will be able to successfully sit on the throne of the princess.

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became. There was an uncontrollable look of excitement on my face, and I casually pulled out the hairpin on my head.

"Zhu'er, you have done a great job this time. I will definitely not treat you badly after it is done. You will be the most powerful maid in front of me."

"Thank you, Miss. Thank you, Miss."

Zhu'er also has her own little Jiujiu in her heart. As her young lady becomes a concubine, as the eldest maid next to the concubine, her status will also rise.

"Go and find out when His Highness will return to the palace. We still have to find a way to get into the palace."

She was sent out of the palace before she had time to develop a relationship with His Highness. It must have been the eldest sister's fault. She didn't stay with His Highness that night. It was just to chase away Hua Liangyuan. Why did she even get sent out of the palace? .

It should be said that one's vision and knowledge are very important. In Fang Yueyue's thinking mode, it is impossible to think about higher-level things and can only see the most superficial meaning of events.

......

The concubines in the palace did not expect Fang Yueyue's change. In the past few days, they mentioned Mrs. Mo Jin from time to time in front of the Queen Mother, hoping that the Queen Mother would subtly accept An Yueqiu as a person, and then slowly accept her appearance.

The incident happened very suddenly. After Nalan Yun'an broke up with Fang Wan again on bad terms, he went out of the palace to relax. He remembered that there was a porcelain doll he bought for the Seventh Emperor's sister in the study, so he returned to his house.

Fang Yueyue took this opportunity to propose going to the palace to see her sister. She was worried about her sister's health. Nalan Yunan agreed without much thought.

"Your Highness, I wonder if I can go and pay my respects to the Queen Mother. I admire the Queen Mother very much."

Nalan Yunan didn't listen to what she was saying at all, and nodded subconsciously, not wanting to regret it when he reacted.

"Thank you, Your Highness. It's very kind of you, Your Highness."

Seeing the bright smile on her face, Nalan Yun'an was at a loss for words. Is this girl stupid? She didn't even enter the Kunning Palace last time, and now she still wants to pay her respects to the Queen Mother.

I hope the people from Kunning Palace will stop her outside the palace again, he thought.

What he didn't expect was that before they reached Kunning Palace, they met the Queen Mother and her party in the Royal Garden.

Also present were Concubine De, the eldest princess, Nalan Yunsheng and several concubines in the palace.

Fang Yueyue looked happy, God was really helping her.

The first moment Nalan Yunan saw Fang Wan, an unnatural look flashed across his eyes, but he thought of something else and straightened his back with a proud look on his face.

But Fang Wan only glanced at Fang Yueyue and then looked away, lowering her head to peel an orange for Nalan Yunsheng.

The Queen Mother's face darkened. She had just sent the person away, but her grandson brought the person back to the palace so quickly. She glanced sideways at Fang Wan, who had the same expression as usual, and the Queen Mother felt relieved.

Now in the Queen Mother's heart, the child in Fang Wan's belly is the most important, and even Nalan Yun'an has stepped aside.

"See you, the Queen Mother, and all you nobles."

Not knowing a few of the concubines, Fang Yueyue only called her "noble". Little did she know that this was also a sign of her ignorance. After staying in the palace for so many days, she didn't even recognize the concubines in each palace.

The Queen Mother responded coldly: "Yes, flat body."

The kneeling person had no intention of getting up. He kowtowed and said with a smile on his face: "To the Queen Mother, I have something important to report. Please step aside."

The Queen Mother remained silent, and Aunt Mi replied: "Miss Fang, please speak directly if you have something to say." There is no need to beat around the bush.

Several low-ranking concubines stood up and left voluntarily. When Concubine De and the eldest princess wanted to leave, the Queen Mother stopped them.

Fang Yueyue saw that the masters who were left behind were all masters she knew but had a higher status, so she did not continue to show off, and said loudly: "The Queen Mother, I have discovered a big secret."

Wanting to arouse the Queen Mother's interest, she paused for a moment and then said: "My daughter discovered that the Queen Mother who died two years ago is not dead!"

"She was still alive, but she faked her death and got away."

"The Queen Mother, this is extremely disrespectful to the royal family! Please be aware of this, the Queen Mother."

"What are you talking about! What you said is true. If you dare to talk nonsense, it is a crime of disrespecting the Queen, but you will be sent to jail." The Queen Mother finally looked at Fang Yueyue.

Concubine De clenched the handkerchief in her hand and looked coldly at the woman kneeling under the stage. This woman had definitely never met the queen. She learned the news from others, so who could have leaked it.

Nalan Yunsheng sat up straight and glanced at the Queen Mother quietly. Oh my god, she had never seen the Queen Mother with such a gloomy expression.

It seems that the situation is not good!

The atmosphere at the scene was completely condensed, and no one dared to speak.

"Tell me, who instigated you to slander the Queen? Empress Duan died of an illness while handling palace affairs. The Queen is a virtuous and virtuous woman who is a model for noble ladies from aristocratic families. How can I allow you to slander her!"

The Queen Mother scolded her coldly. It was common knowledge in the world that Queen Duan was dead, and this could never be changed. As for the other things, she would find out.
