Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

As Xie Zhaozhao bowed and saluted and everyone was celebrating loudly, he carefully moved his foot from under the imperial edict robe and stepped on Lu Feiyan.

Lu Feiyan understood. There was no expression on her face originally, and now she looked even more confused and ignorant.

Although the procedures of the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner were basically the same as in previous years, various links were shortened and it ended quickly.

At the end of the You hour, the palace banquet ended and the carriages from various mansions left the palace one after another.

Old Madam Xie also came today, but the seat she was assigned was a little far away from Xie Zhaozhao.

After the banquet, Mrs. Xie immediately had someone support her to come and see Xie Zhaozhao.

Seeing that Xie Zhaozhao was already very heavy, the grandmother felt extremely distressed.

"You should stay in the mansion and be well taken care of..." The old man didn't know what was going on.

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said, "It's okay, grandma, don't worry, Zhaozhao is fine."

As the grandparents and grandchildren were about to leave the palace hand in hand, Liuli came to Xie Zhaozhao again. Seeing that Old Madam Xie was also there, she smiled and said, "Old Madam Xie, Madam Ge, the Queen invites you two to sit in the palace for a while."

Madam Xie felt sorry for her daughter and granddaughter, so she smiled and said, "It's getting late. I'll go see the Empress. Madam, let's talk about it another day, shall we?"

Liuli smiled and said, "Madam, the Queen has just received the imperial edict. This is such a good thing. You should go over and say a few words, right? Don't worry. It's really too late. Just stay in the palace. It's safer here than outside."

Xie Zhaozhao knew that she couldn't escape, and she didn't want her grandmother to worry, so she said, "Grandma, let's go visit the Queen."

Her daughter had endured half her life and finally became the mother of the country. It would be a lie for Mrs. Xie to say that she was unhappy.

When they arrived at Xingning Palace, Empress Xie saw Old Madam Xie and Xie Zhaozhao, and excitedly took the two relatives aside and served them good tea and snacks.

Old Madam Xie and Xie Zhaozhao met Empress Xie with the etiquette of monarch and subject, and sincerely congratulated her.

"Alas, what is there to congratulate? It's just a hard life in this cage." Empress Xie said with a faint smile while drinking tea, "I envy Zhao Zhao."

Once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea, with luxurious clothes and delicious food? You are just a bird in a cage. How can you be as lucky as Xie Zhaozhao to have a man of high status and power?

Even the right to have children was plotted against and taken away from her. What good is it to be a queen?

Madam Xie once again held up her handkerchief to her eyes in guilt: "Your Highness, you have endured many hardships and finally achieved happiness. You are the glory of the Xie family. The descendants of the Xie family will offer incense to you for generations to come."

Although Empress Xie did not leave any offspring, as long as the Xie family survived, her descendants would offer incense to Empress Xie for generations.

Xie Zhaozhao also said a few words of comfort with a faint smile.

As the daughter of a big family, who doesn't have control over her own affairs?

She and Lord Gu, if she hadn't been reborn, she would probably be a widow now.

Empress Xie was used to it. She was well-behaved, her emotions were unmistakable, and there was nothing wrong with her.

After a few words, Xie Anfeng came in person to pick up Old Madam Xie, happily congratulated Empress Xie, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the palace gate will be locked soon. I will take mother and daughter back home."

Empress Xie was still not satisfied, so she said to Xie Zhaozhao, "When your grandmother goes back, you can stay in the palace for a few days. Accompany your aunt. Now that your aunt is the master of the harem, you can rest assured that no one will neglect you."

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said, "Thank you, Queen, for your kindness. I may give birth at any time, so I'd better not live here, for fear of polluting your palace."

"Of course not! I have not changed the layout of the Wenhui Palace where you lived when you were a child. You can stay there."

Xie Anfeng said: "Your Majesty needs the care of the Empress more. Zhao Zhao also needs someone to take care of her. It's better not to cause trouble for the Empress."

Empress Xie was very dissatisfied: "Master Xie, you think too much. I have raised her for several years. I miss her. Can't I let her stay for a few days? Besides, I am worried that Third Master Gu is not in the mansion."

Xie Anfeng still wanted to take Xie Zhaozhao away by force, but Queen Xie didn't want to talk to him at all.

Xie Zhaozhao said to Empress Xie: "I am about to give birth, and my body is getting heavier day by day. I really can't stay in the palace for long. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Empress Xie said sadly, "How about you stay overnight?"

As they were talking, they heard a report: "Empress, His Majesty wants you to come over for something."

Xie Anfeng immediately said, "Then the Queen will go and take care of Your Majesty. I will take my mother and daughter away."

Empress Xie was displeased: "Zhao Zhao stays. I have something to say to her."

Having said that, Xie Anfeng was no longer able to do anything.

Queen Xie said that Xie Zhaozhao had to stay and she couldn't leave.

Imperial power is supreme, and there is no family affection.

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble the Queen."

Hua Zisheng just kept smiling and didn't get involved. He nodded and said to Xie Anfeng, "Thank you, sir. I'm sorry."

"It's okay. National affairs are more important."

Xiu Ning and a half-grown eunuch bent down obediently to see Xie Anfeng and Old Madam Xie out.

Xie Zhaozhao took Yuanyuan and Lu Feiyan to live in Wenhui Hall of Xingning Palace.

The layout of the hall was exactly the same as when Xie Zhaozhao was a child. The sheets and quilts were all replaced with new ones, and they smelled of sunshine after being washed and dried.

There was no telling how many spies there were in the palace, so the three of them didn't dare to say much and just stayed there quietly.

Yuanyuan went to fetch a basin of hot water. Xie Zhaozhao had been standing for a long time today and her feet were a little swollen, so Yuanyuan gave her a careful massage.

Lu Feiyan walked around the entire hall, not missing a single corner.

After checking, she said to Xie Zhaozhao, "No poison."

Empress Xie was invited by Hua Zisheng to see His Majesty. No one knew what happened and she did not come back for three days.

Xie Zhaozhao stayed in Wenhui Palace for three consecutive days, with three meals a day, snacks, and fruits all the time. However, not only was Queen Xie not there, but Liuli was also not there.

On the third day, Xie Zhaozhao took Yuanyuan and Lu Feiyan for a tour of Xingning Palace and asked the eunuch Shuangxi who was assigned to take care of her: "Where is the queen?"

Shuangxi said respectfully: "The Queen is accompanying His Majesty to handle state affairs."

"Handling state affairs?"

"Yes. His Majesty likes the Empress. After the death of several princes, His Majesty was afraid that it would delay state affairs, so he asked the Empress to help handle state affairs."

"Since Her Majesty is busy with state affairs, please tell her that I will leave the palace and will not disturb Her Majesty any more."

"The Empress has instructed that the old lady should rest in Wenhui Palace. She will come to accompany the Empress after she has dealt with state affairs."

"When will the queen be back?"

"Well, the queen is busy, Madam, just stay here and feel at ease. If you need anything, tell me."

Xie Zhaozhao looked at Shuangxi silently without saying anything.

The order was given by Empress Xie, so there is no point in saying more to these servants.

Shuangxi left, Yuanyuan closed the door, and the three of them sat down. They all understood that Xie Zhaozhao was being placed under house arrest in the palace!

Lu Feiyan whispered, "Madam, can Yuanyuan and I go out and explore the way?"

Xie Zhaozhao shook his head.

The palace is not some other place. Even if Lu Feiyan is good at poisons, he cannot poison people.

There are many experts in the palace, and Yuanyuan's martial arts are not enough here.

But why did my aunt do this?
