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

Zheng Xiyan brought Xiao Chengji back to Weiyang Palace. Outside the palace, the beautiful lady had been waiting for a long time. "Congratulations to the Queen and the Crown Prince."

"Get up! No need to be so polite." Zheng Xiyan raised her hand slightly with a lazy expression.

"Thank you, Queen."

Lady Li went up to him with a smile, "It has spread everywhere now. His Majesty has appointed the eldest prince as the crown prince. This is a great joyous event. Congratulations to the Queen."

Zheng Xiyan chuckled and said in a deep voice: "It is a happy event for me, but it may not be a happy event for others."

"Your Majesty, please don't think like that. The eldest son is the crown prince by right. It is only natural that the eldest prince is appointed as the crown prince." Lady Li's eyes were sincere. Now, she must hold on to the queen as her support to have a chance to survive in this harem.

The eldest son is the crown prince by right? This sentence echoed in Zheng Xiyan's ears countless times. She lowered her eyes and smiled. Yes! Her son should have been the crown prince.

"Don't say such things again." Zheng Xiyan turned her expression and said seriously, it is better to have less trouble than more. Although Ji'er was made the crown prince, his future path is still full of thorns.

Li Meiren also knew the importance of the matter and quickly agreed, "Yes!"

"Come in and have a seat! I heard that you are good at chess, so it's just right that you can play a game with me." Zheng Xiyan's face was filled with a gentle smile again.

"Yes!"

Zheng Xiyan ordered the wet nurse to take Xiao Chengji away. She and Concubine Li entered the main hall, sat opposite each other, and then began to play chess.

Zheng Xiyan picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard. "I heard that His Majesty has been summoning you frequently these days. Your good days are coming, but it depends on whether you can grasp them. If you want to go far, you still need to have a prince."

Zheng Xiyan's words were also a test of her. Where is the true love in the harem?

Lady Li's face changed slightly, and she became nervous. She said quickly, "I am of humble origins, and I am afraid I am not worthy of being the prince's biological mother."

"What are you talking about? You are his majesty's concubine now, and his majesty dotes on you so much. It is only a matter of time before you become pregnant with a prince." Zheng Xiyan placed a chess piece on the chessboard, and the crisp sound reached Lady Li's ears.

She raised her eyes slightly and saw Zheng Xiyan's sharp gaze. She felt a chill on her back and her lips trembled. She knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not."

Zheng Xiyan stared at her with scrutiny. After a long moment, she threw the chess piece in her hand into the chess box and said with a fake smile, "Why are you kneeling down? Get up quickly. I was just joking with you."

"Empress, every word I said that day came from the bottom of my heart. From now on, I will follow your orders. I only hope to live a peaceful life. As for other things, I dare not dare to have any unrealistic thoughts. I hope your Majesty will understand." Lady Li knocked heavily on the ground to show her loyalty.

"Get up! I believe what you said today, but I must also tell you that the only outcome of betraying me is death." Zheng Xiyan's eyes, like a knife, fell on Lady Li.

Lady Li was so frightened that her lips turned pale, and she said in a trembling voice, "Yes, I will definitely keep it in mind and will never forget it."

"Please sit down!" Zheng Xiyan said.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Lady Li sat down again with her whole body tense, but she was still frightened and out of her mind.

Zheng Xiyan picked up the white piece, her hand hovering over the chessboard. After a while, she found the right position and placed the piece.

The two of them had not even finished playing half of their game of chess when Biluo walked in and said to them, "Your Majesty, the concubines from all the palaces have come to congratulate you."

"Let them all go back! I don't want to see them right now." Zheng Xiyan said expressionlessly.

"My queen, this is not appropriate!" Biluo whispered.

Zheng Xiyan looked indifferent, "Tell them that it won't be too late for them to come and congratulate the prince on his first birthday."

"Yes."

After Biluo left, Lady Li boldly asked, "Why didn't the queen see them?"

"What's there to see? It's just a bunch of flattery. I'm tired of hearing it. Now it's your turn." Zheng Xiyan urged her. She was about to win this game.

"Yes."

In the afternoon, Zheng Xiyan took Xiao Chengji to Shoukang Palace. The empress dowager had just woken up from her nap, and Princess Xuanhua was accompanying her.

The maid came in and reported, "Her Majesty the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince are here."

"Please invite them in." The Queen Mother smiled when she heard that the mother and son had arrived.

"Yes!"

Zheng Xiyan held Xiao Chengji in her arms and came to the Queen Mother, "Greetings to the Queen Mother."

After Princess Xuanhua paid her respects, she walked over, pinched Xiao Chengji's little face, and said, "Ji'er, would you like me to hold you?"

Xiao Chengji opened her arms happily, and then Princess Xuanhua took her in her arms, "Hey, auntie is taking you out to play."

The Queen Mother quickly ordered, "Follow them."

"Yes!"

For a moment, only Zheng Xiyan, the Queen Mother, Nanny Yu and Biluo were left in the palace.

The Queen Mother said to her, "Sit down!"

"Thank you, mother."

"The emperor issued an edict this morning, appointing Ji'er as the crown prince. The foundation of the country has been stabilized, and I can rest assured." The empress dowager looked relieved that the emperor had not made a mistake.

Zheng Xiyan was full of gratitude, "I, your son, would also like to thank you, mother. If it weren't for you, Ji'er would not have been able to become the crown prince."

The Queen Mother shook her head slightly and said, "Do you think it was I who persuaded the Emperor? This has nothing to do with me. It was the Emperor's own decision."

"But I also want to remind you that the emperor's mind is hard to predict. No one can guess what the emperor is thinking. If the emperor changes his mind one day, the position of crown prince may not be Ji'er's."

"Queen! You are the queen chosen by me. You are the daughter of Duke Zheng and Princess Chengyang, and the granddaughter of King Chu. The forces behind you will help you become the queen and your son the crown prince, but they may also become a disaster for you in the future. You must judge the situation well and must not go the wrong way." The Queen Mother was also reminding her.

Zheng Xiyan naturally heard the hidden meaning of these words. She knew better than anyone what it meant that Ji'er became the crown prince. Since ancient times, the power of foreign relatives had been monopolized, so she certainly knew what the outcome would be.

"I understand, thank you for your teachings, mother."

"As long as you don't make mistakes, Ji'er doesn't make mistakes, and the Zhengguo Mansion and Chuwang Mansion behind you don't make mistakes, the Emperor can't find any fault with you, and no one can shake the status of you and your son." The Queen Mother said meaningfully.

Zheng Xiyan thought of the empress dowager back then. That was what she did back then. The Gao family behind the empress dowager had never made any big mistakes. Although their influence in the court was not great and they posed no threat, they were an indispensable force for Xiao Xuanchen to stabilize the court.

"Thank you for your advice, mother. I will never let you down." Zheng Xiyan smiled slightly, looking confident.

"Ah."

"Don't worry about the gains and losses in front of you. Look at the future and have a long-term vision. What do the gains and losses in front of you matter? This life is too long. If you only care about romantic relationships, wouldn't that be too stupid?" The Queen Mother was also worried about her. If she blindly immersed herself in romantic relationships and couldn't get out of them, she would be the only one who suffered.

Zheng Xiyan naturally understood this truth, but what a pity! In her previous life, she only understood it at the moment of her death.
