A concubine's daughter is reborn and I want to enter the palace!

Before they knew it, the weather had gradually become hotter, the cicadas were chirping non-stop, and the ladies in the palaces began to fan themselves with round fans.

The Queen had just taken a nap at noon when someone came to inform her that Zuo Wenyi wanted to see her.

The Queen frowned and asked, "What is she doing here at this time?"

Beatrice said, "Your Majesty, this...I don't know. How about I find an excuse to send her away?"

The queen hummed and then changed her mind, "Forget it, let her in and see what she wants." After hearing this, Bitui stepped back and asked Zuo Wenyi to come in.

Beatrice: "My lady, please ask our queen to stay inside."

Zuo Wenyi simply bowed to Bi Cui and followed her in respectfully.

After entering, she bowed deeply to the queen and said, "I, your concubine, pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty live forever!"

The queen forked up a piece of watermelon and put it into her mouth, chewing it slowly. Although Zuo Wenyi was still kneeling there, the queen did not respond to her immediately. Instead, she left her alone for a while before slowly speaking:

"Zuo promised you to come here at this time. What exactly is the reason?"

Zuo Wenyi stammered, "My concubine..."

The queen looked at her in silence.

Beicui beside her whispered to Zuo Wenyi, "My lady, our queen is asking you a question!"

Zuo Wenyi: "I, your concubine... Zuo Yingying, beg the Queen to have mercy on me..."

The Queen snorted coldly, "Pity? I have already shown you mercy once on the day you entered the palace! Otherwise, how do you think you would be standing here now?"

Zuo Wenyi was so ashamed that she said, "My father told me when I entered the palace that I could ask the Empress to take care of me after I entered the palace..."

Queen: "You should learn from Shen Changzai and see how she turned things around in adversity!"

Zuo Wenyi lowered her head and replied, "I am stupid..."

Queen: "I think you are really stupid!"

At this time, Fenghua Palace was very quiet. You could even hear a pin drop on the ground.

"How about this, the Emperor will come to my place tonight and I will recommend you then. Whether you can seize the opportunity or not is entirely up to you." said the Queen.

Zuo Wenyi kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Thank you, Queen!"

"Instead of hitting your head here, it's better to retreat and prepare properly!" the queen said impatiently.

Zuo Wenyi said happily, "Yes! Yes! I'll take my leave."

After Zuo Wenyi left, Bitui asked the Queen, "Does the Queen really want to help her gain favor?"

The Queen said, "Her father has worked for my father for many years, so I will give her some face."

night

Song Qingwan looked at the bright round moon in the sky and thought of her aunt who was far away at home. She wondered how she was doing now and whether the first and second wives had treated her harshly...

I couldn't help but sigh: "Alas"

Haitang caught Song Qingwan's mood and asked, "What's wrong, young lady? Is there anything on your mind?"

Song Qingwan looked at Haitang and said, "Haitang, I miss my aunt."

Haitang took Song Qingwan's hand and comforted her, "My lady, you are so beautiful. When you become successful, you can ask the emperor for a reward and let Aunt Lin come to the palace to see you."

Song Qingwan fell into deep thought. Yes, as a concubine's daughter, she entered the palace just to make a name for herself, to let her aunt live a better life, and to make those hateful people get the retribution they deserve!

Seeing that Song Qingwan was silent, Haitang suggested, "My lady, let Haitang accompany you for a walk! It's windy outside now, it's cool!"

Song Qingwan: "Okay, then let's go to the lotus pond and release lotus lanterns. We can also pray for our family!"

Haitang said happily: "Okay, okay! I will go and prepare it."

Then the master and servant went to the lotus pond.

Inside the Yangxin Hall

After the Emperor reviewed the last memorial, he stretched himself and prepared to go to the Queen's Fenghua Palace.

The Great Eunuch Xia Lu: "Your Majesty, please come~"

The group was on their way to Fenghua Palace. The wind was particularly cool today. Or maybe it was too hot during the day. The temperature dropped at night, making people feel particularly relaxed.

Xiao Rui thought, I wonder if the lotus is blooming beautifully at this time.

"Let's go to Fenghua Palace later. I want to go to the lotus pond to see the lotus flowers."

Xia Lu said, "Move to the lotus pond!"

The eunuchs carrying the sedan chair changed direction again.

From a distance, I saw two people placing lotus lanterns beside the lotus pond. It seemed that a master was with a maid.

Xia Lu: "Your Majesty, it seems someone is releasing lotus lanterns ahead."

Xiao Rui: "Oh? Really?"

Xia Lu said, "Your Majesty, don't worry! I will go and drive them away."

As the sedan chair got closer, the figures of the two people became clearer and clearer, especially the girl dressed as a master. She was tall but so slender that people could easily feel the desire to protect her.

A waterfall of long hair hanging down behind her, blown by the wind like strands of black hair. Her profile is delicate and soft, and her long eyelashes are thick and long.

Xia Lu said, "Your Majesty, it seems to be Concubine Song in front!"

Xiao Rui became interested and signaled the servants around him to keep quiet. A group of people watched furtively...
