After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn

Zheng Xiyan smiled, "Your Majesty is almost late for the morning court session. Your Majesty should leave now."

Xiao Xuanchen nodded, held her face, kissed her forehead affectionately, and said in a low voice: "I'm leaving."

"Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell." Zheng Xiyan said in a gentle voice.

After Xiao Xuanchen left, the smile on Zheng Xiyan's face immediately disappeared.

Biluo stepped forward with some concern and said, "Your Majesty, why did His Majesty suddenly mention Concubine Zhao? Could it be that Concubine Zhao is going to regain the emperor's favor?"

Zheng Xiyan looked indifferent, sitting on the couch, and said casually: "Maybe!" Then she added: "If Concubine Zhao regains her favor, it will not be bad for me."

Biluo shook her head slightly, "But Madam, Talented Zhao is not easy to control."

Zheng Xiyan's expression remained calm as she said in a deep voice, "She can't stir up any trouble yet. The lessons she learned before should have taught her a lesson that will help her see the current situation clearly."

Biluo thought about it and did not object, "Your Majesty is right."

Zheng Xiyan pinched her brows and whispered, "Tell someone to serve the meal!"

"Yes!"

In autumn, the breeze blows, and the leaves sway gently, making a rustling sound.

Zheng Xiyan stood in the yard and said, "It's autumn now. I think His Majesty will issue an order to go hunting soon."

"Yes!"

"It's better to go for a walk in the palace than to stay in the palace all the time." Zheng Xiyan sighed slightly and sat in the pavilion not far away.

Biluo smiled and joked: "Your Majesty wants to leave the palace!"

"That's right? It's really boring to stay in the palace all the time." Zheng Xiyan felt that these days were really boring.

Yihua Palace

That night, Zhao Cairen sat in front of the window. The moon was particularly bright tonight, casting silver light and shining the starry sky. There was an osmanthus tree in the yard, which had bloomed in autumn. The air was filled with the faint fragrance of osmanthus, which was refreshing.

Caiwei walked in at this time and saw the food on the table. Sure enough, it was not touched at all. She walked to her side with a worried look and said helplessly, "Why didn't the talented lady eat again?"

Zhao Cairen looked listless and listless. "I have no appetite." These days, she had lost a lot of weight and was depressed all day long. Caiwei hadn't seen a smile on her face for a long time.

"You haven't eaten much these days. What will happen if this continues?" Caiwei advised.

Lady Zhao stared at the osmanthus tree in the yard infatuatedly, and suddenly said, "In a blink of an eye, it has been a year since I entered the palace. This osmanthus tree is in bloom again. I promised His Majesty before that I would make osmanthus cake for him when the osmanthus tree blooms this year. But now, I can't even see His Majesty." When she said this, her eyes were slightly red, her expression was dull, and she was in a very bad state.

"This year, I was the most favored concubine in the harem and I was pregnant with the heir to the throne. But after my miscarriage, I fell into a low point and completely lost favor. Now I am even confined to Yihua Palace. It's as if there is no one like me in the harem. Tell me, have they all forgotten that there is someone like me in the harem?"

"How could that be? You should be more open-minded."

A few tears fell from the corners of Zhao Cairen's eyes. She reached out and wiped away the tears, and smiled bitterly: "Anyway, in this life, the end is destined to die of old age in the palace. Who will remember me?"

"Caiwei, I want to make osmanthus cake. Ask them to pick some osmanthus flowers and dry them in the sun tomorrow morning." Zhao Cairen ordered.

"The slaves obey."

Zhao Cairen stood up and walked towards the dining table. He glanced at the dishes and said, "Take them away!"

"Please eat a little more! Look how thin you have become." Caiwei advised her earnestly that if she continued like this, her body would surely collapse.

Zhao Cairen refused, "No, I really don't have much appetite. You can take it down and eat with them!" After saying that, she went to the bedroom.

Caiwei looked helpless and had to take the dishes away.

Shoukang Palace

This day, Zheng Xiyan brought her children to pay respects. As soon as she stepped into Shoukang Palace, she heard the Queen Mother's laughter, "Hahaha..."

Zheng Xiyan took Xiao Chengji's hand and walked into the main hall. She saw the Queen Mother holding her granddaughter and amusing her. Princess Xuanhua saw her and stood up and said, "The Queen's sister-in-law is here."

"My son, please send my regards to your mother. May your mother be blessed with peace and blessings."

"My grandson pays his respects to the Imperial Grandmother and to my aunt."

Princess Xuanhua came to Xiao Chengji, squatted down, pinched his little face, and said, "Ji'er is so good, let auntie hold you, okay?"

Xiao Chengji let go of Zheng Xiyan's hand and went forward to hug her. Princess Xuanhua picked him up and said, "Oh~ You are so good."

Princess Changle, who was standing by, could already walk and her wet nurse was accompanying her.

Zheng Xiyan came before the Queen Mother and said with a smile, "Look how happy Jun'er is."

The Empress Dowager gave her the name herself, with a single character "Jun", which comes from "Jun is as radiant as Ye, Wen is as beautiful as Jin".

"The name mother gave to Jun'er is very good. Jun is as bright as Ye and as beautiful as Wen." Zheng Xiyan said gently and waved to Princess Changle.

Princess Changle glanced at the wet nurse, then at the Queen Mother, and then walked over. Zheng Xiyan held her in her arms and continued to talk to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "My first granddaughter is naturally worthy of this name."

"Yes!"

After Zheng Xiyan sat down, she looked down at Princess Changle and said with a smile, "In the blink of an eye, Changle can walk. She was raised by her mother. I think Changle looks a bit like her."

The Queen Mother looked at him carefully and said, "Now that the Queen mentioned that, I really didn't notice it before. Now that I look carefully, I see that he looks a bit like me."

"The queen mother's granddaughter naturally looks like her."

"Ah."

When Zheng Xiyan returned to Weiyang Palace, Zi Rui was standing at the palace gate waiting, "The Queen is back."

"What's wrong?" Zheng Xiyan asked.

"The princess is here." Zi Rui said with a smile.

"Mother is here." Zheng Xiyan looked happy.

"The princess is waiting for the queen in the main hall."

"Hurry up!" Zheng Xiyan walked in quickly with a happy smile on her face.

Zheng Xiyan quickened her pace and walked quickly to the main hall, "Mother!"

"See the Queen."

Zheng Xiyan stepped forward to help her up and said, "Mother, please don't be so polite."

Then Zheng Xiyan pulled Princess Chengyang to sit down, "Mother, please sit down."

Princess Chengyang smiled and said, "Look how happy you are."

"Mother hasn't been to the palace for a long time. I'm happy for you." Zheng Xiyan acted coquettishly to her, and then ordered: "Biluo, quickly prepare some cakes that mother likes to eat. Go!"

"Yes! I will prepare it right away." Biluo and Shuangning looked very happy. After paying their respects, they went downstairs to prepare.

Zirui and Ziluo knew that the empress and the princess must have something to say, so they also stepped back to allow the mother and daughter to talk properly.
