The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

The young couple tossed and turned until three o'clock in the morning before they fell asleep. After sleeping for more than two hours, they were awakened by the sound of an argument at the door.

Looking through the window, the light outside was dim and it was pitch black.

Tang Zhongbai asked unhappily, "What's the matter?"

"Second Young Master, the eunuch in the palace just passed on the Queen Mother's decree, asking you and Second Young Master to come to the palace after noon."

"I know, let's go!"

Tang Zhongbai turned over and hugged her soft, fragrant and warm body. He listened to her whispering something in his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her, mumbling back, "Be good, go to sleep. You can still sleep for more than an hour."

He resented the Queen Mother in his heart, asking why she didn't summon them in the afternoon instead of disturbing their sweet dreams early in the morning.

When they were half asleep, someone knocked on the door loudly, and they woke up from their dreams. "Sir, Madam, it's time. Get up and wash up, and then we'll set off."

They washed their faces with cold water. Jiang Muxia put on the clothes of a village lord and entered the palace accompanied by Tang Zhongbai.

Before the carriage set off, Liu Ying asked someone to stop them.

"Madam asked the maid to inform the Second Lady that the Queen Mother has always been gentle to others. This time she summoned you just to see your true appearance, and she will not make it difficult. Madam asked the Second Lady to face the Queen Mother calmly and not to be nervous."

"I see. Thank the madam for me."

The wheels rolled and headed towards the imperial city.

It was already bright outside, the cold wind was blowing wildly, there was a stove in the carriage, and Jiang Muxia was holding a hand warmer in her arms.

This was the first time in her two lives that she entered the palace and saw the real royal family. She felt uneasy and her palms were sweating.

Tang Zhongbai helped her to gather her fox fur cloak, and when he touched her hand, it was icy cold, and he knew that she was nervous.

He took her hand and wrapped it in his hand to keep it warm. "It's okay. I will stay with you. The Queen Mother is my aunt. Because she loves me, I often wandered around the palace when I was young. She treated me very well. But later I followed my father to Chenliu and never entered the palace again, and I never saw her again."

Jiang Muxia's eyes widened slightly, he had no idea that his family had such a relationship with the Queen Mother.

But she was confused by some things, which were too unreasonable.

My mother-in-law Liu Ying and the emperor are cousins, and the old man died early. The third branch of the Tang family is impossible to be a threat to any power, but why does the King of Lingnan hold on to the Tang family? Over and over again, he wants to put the Tang family to death. Could it be that King Wu Jun of Lingnan has a personal grudge against someone in the Tang family?

Anyone with a brain would not believe the King of Lingnan's frame-up. The emperor was not a fool. How could he believe a letter from an unknown source and have the Tang family raided? This gave the other party an opportunity to find an excuse to massacre the entire Tang family when raiding the house.

Her eyes were slightly gloomy. Now that she was married into the Tang family, her fate was closely tied to the Tang family.

She felt vaguely uneasy. Although the King of Lingnan was dead, the reason why he targeted the Tang family was unknown. This was a bomb buried in the Tang family that could explode at any time. If it was not found, the Tang family might repeat the same mistakes as in the previous life.

She couldn't let this happen again.

Jiang Muxia closed her eyes and connected the connections between the King of Lingnan and the Tang family in her past and present lives. The key figure Feng Nian had already been killed, and his death cut off the way to drag Tang Shiyan into the water.

"No." She suddenly opened her eyes and understood at once. Since the King of Lingnan could recruit the people around Tang Shiyan, he could certainly also place spies around other members of the Tang family.

"My husband, when the King of Lingnan was ambushing us, besides finding Feng Nian, did our Tang family find anyone else who was working for the King of Lingnan?"

Tang Zhongbai looked at her suspiciously, not understanding why she suddenly asked about a case that had been settled long ago.

He thought about it and gave a clear answer, "No. At that time, my great grandfather and second grandfather came to our house to make a scene about this matter. They accused my father of not keeping a strict discipline and almost got the entire Tang family involved."

There was none. Her heart sank to the bottom. This was trouble. For more than a year, the spy hadn't made any move. Either he accepted his fate and stopped. Or he was lying in wait. When the time was right, he would massacre the entire Tang family like in his previous life.

She couldn't help but shudder and felt a little scared.

She thought of Ji Di. If the spy had a plan to avenge the King of Lingnan like her, judging from the fact that the identities of other spies had not been exposed for many years, this person's scheming was much stronger than Ji Di's.

She sat up straight and was about to tell Tang Zhongbai everything she was thinking, but the carriage stopped.

Tang San's voice came from outside the car, "Master, we have arrived at Dongyang Gate."

She swallowed back what she was about to say.

Outsiders were not allowed to enter the palace. Tang San, Tang Si and Qinghong were waiting for them at the palace gate.

The two were led to Shoukang Palace where the Queen Mother was by the eunuch waiting at the palace gate.

Arriving at Shoukang Palace, the young eunuch stopped, bowed, pointed at another eunuch standing at the palace gate and said, "My lord, my lady, I can only take you so far. Next, Li, the eunuch in the Empress Dowager's palace, will lead you to see the Empress Dowager. I will take my leave now."

Jiang Muxia returned the gift and stuffed a purse into his hand. The young eunuch thanked him without changing his expression and left in a hurry.

Jiang Muxia stuffed a larger purse into Li Nei Shi's hand, bowed slightly, and said with a smile, "Please trouble Li Nei Shi."

Eunuch Li smiled as he took it and stuffed it into his sleeve pocket. He led the two away and reminded them, "The Queen Mother has just gotten up and is washing up now. Later, the Queen Mother will invite you to have breakfast together. By the way, Prince Yi arrived earlier than you and is waiting in the main hall. I will take you two to meet Prince Yi first."

The two men paused, and there was surprise in their eyes. Why did Prince Yi come here so early in the morning? Did he do it on purpose or did they meet him by chance?

When Eunuch Li saw them stop, he smiled and told them quietly.

"I will tell you two secretly. When Prince Yi first came, I saw the Queen Mother laughing and scolding him, saying that he was just like a street girl, running to see her nephew's wife so early in the morning. She kept scolding him for being so immoral."

He secretly looked up at them and found that their expressions were the same, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

If it weren't for the bag of silver, he wouldn't have said so much. He hoped that his reminder would not cause any trouble.

Jiang Muxia just found it funny. This Prince Yi was really idle.

Tang Zhongbai's face darkened.

The palace door opened, and a maid dressed in a brocade robe with floral patterns walked out of the inner hall.

She knelt down towards Tang Zhongbai and the other man, raised her head and said with a smile, "The Queen Mother has been waiting for a long time. Please ask Mr. Tang and Miss Tang to follow me."

The inner hall was golden, spacious and bright. As soon as you entered the door, you could see a plump old lady wearing a royal blue Sichuan cotton dress with auspicious cloud pattern sitting on the couch in the middle.

Jiang Muxia took a peek and found that the empress dowager was exactly what she had imagined her to be, fair-skinned and kind-looking.

A maid placed two cushions on the ground, and the two men knelt on the ground to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.

"Hurry up, this family doesn't have to be like this."

The Queen Mother waved to Jiang Muxia to sit next to her, and Jiang Muxia declined and sat down.

The Queen Mother took her hand, looked her up and down, and praised her nonstop.

"I've long heard from Ying that her second son has found a very capable and good-looking wife. Today I see that it's true. Xiao Baizi, you're lucky. From now on, she has my support. Bullying her is the same as bullying me. You understand."

"Yes, grandson doesn't dare."

Tang Zhongbai was used to observing people's words and expressions, and hearing that the empress dowager was so satisfied with his daughter-in-law, he just took the opportunity to call her by a familiar name.

The Queen Mother smiled, took Jiang Muxia's hand and walked towards the dining room next door.

There was already someone waiting here. When Tang Zhongbai saw this person, he bowed to him.

This person was tall and slender, with an upright posture, sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. There was a cold flash in his eyes, and he had an air of nobility all over him.

He doesn't look like a forty-year-old at all.

"I have met Prince Yi."

Jiang Muxia followed suit and knelt down. Prince Yi's eyes drifted to her. After a moment of surprise, he raised his hand and sat down next to the Queen Mother.

Jiang Muxia naturally didn't dare to sit down and eat carelessly. She stood beside the empress dowager, took the golden chopsticks from the personal nanny, and quickly served the empress dowager the food.

The Queen Mother was very pleased with her tact. She accidentally caught a glimpse of Prince Yi's stealthy gaze and glared at him.

Started to coax people out.

"Xiao Baizi, I see you two have almost finished eating. There are a few pots of newly bloomed orchids in the side hall. How about you go and take a look at them?"

Tang Zhongbai had only taken two bites when he heard this and immediately understood what he meant and put down his chopsticks.

Prince Yi smiled bitterly. His mother was really...

After the two left, the Queen Mother pulled her to sit down and said, "There is no one around. I don't eat much. Let's sit down and talk."

Jiang Muxia compiled the interesting things about life in the village and the strange things she encountered along the way to Beijing into little stories and told them to the empress dowager, which made her laugh out loud.
