After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Xiao Xuetang was dressed in green and stood in front of the vermilion palace gate.

Behind her was a nine-story palace. The sun was blazing like fire. The golden sunlight shone on the red walls and green tiles, reflecting a hazy color.

The wind blew her clothes, and her wide sleeves fluttered, like... like a phoenix born from fire, and even more like the owner of this palace.

Ye Jin's face turned pale, and she stepped back in shock. She seemed to hear the voice of fate...

Can she really snatch away the life that should have belonged to Xiao Xuetang?

"Girl, the Queen is still waiting for you in the palace."

Huang Ying'er beside him was very smart and supported Ye Jin, which saved Ye Jin from losing his composure.

Ye Jin stood firm with the help of Huang Ying'er's hand, feeling ashamed of the fear that had just arisen in his heart.

Who knows who will win or lose until the end?

What's more, now she has won over Mr. Wen, the person Lin Shaoshu trusts the most, and marrying Lin Shaoshu is just around the corner!

But in an instant, Ye Jin hid the fear in his eyes, raised his chin high, and said disdainfully: "Xiao Xuetang, you are the fiancée of the third prince, but you actually ride in another man's carriage in the city, how shameless!"

Ye Jin spoke in a righteous tone, but in fact there was a glimmer of jealousy in his eyes.

This Xiao Xuetang just has a coquettish face. In terms of talent and knowledge, she is not even a finger better than hers.

Why, even a strong man like Lin Xun could be obsessed with Xiao Xuetang?

and……

Xiao Xuetang's clothes and jewelry were so exquisitely crafted and luxurious that they didn't look like they came from the Marquis's Mansion. They must have been given to her by Lin Xun!

The more jealous she was in her heart, the less she showed it on her face. She felt that she had taken the moral high ground and wanted to punish this disloyal queen for the sake of future generations...

"You are relying on the power of the Prince Regent's Mansion to act so arrogantly. Are you worthy of the Third Prince?"

Xiao Xuetang laughed in anger at Ye Jin's groundless accusations.

She just borrowed the old princess' carriage to enter the palace, so she is so arrogant?

As far as she knew, whenever Ye Jin went out to attend banquets or entered the palace, he always used Xiao Yi's carriage!

Xiao Xuetang was too lazy to talk nonsense with Ye Jin, so she just raised her hand and slapped her.

After the slap, Ye Jin's face was not badly injured, but Xiao Xuetang's hands were covered with a thick layer of powder...

Ye Jin was taught a lesson by the Queen's men yesterday, and even though he used a plaster at night, the swelling still did not go down completely. So before Ye Jin went out today, he used a whole box of Yan Xinji's finest powder, and then used 100% makeup to conceal his flaws, so that he could barely go out to meet people.

But he never expected that before he even entered the palace, he was outshined by the stunning Xiao Xuetang. Ye Jin was so angry that he almost let out poison.

At this moment, Ye Jin was even more shocked and hateful...

How dare she, how dare she beat someone at the gate of the palace?

Facing Ye Jin's astonished expression, Xiao Xuetang rubbed the powder on her hands and sneered, "Didn't you say that I'm arrogant and domineering? Then I'll be arrogant and show you!"

"you……"

Ye Jin came back to his senses and wanted to fight back, but Xiao Xuetang grabbed his wrist.

Xiao Xuetang looked at Ye Jin with a cold gaze, and warned him without a trace of warmth: "Ye Jin, I am warning you for the last time. I have nothing to do with the Regent. Everyone in Kyoto knows that I was invited by the old princess to live in Shuiyunju, and I have nothing to do with the Regent. If I hear you say anything gossipy again at the palace banquet today, I will pull out your tongue!"

Xiao Xuetang stared at Ye Jin with a cold gaze. At this moment, Ye Jin couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine...

She felt that Xiao Xuetang could really do it!

From the beginning to the end, she underestimated Xiao Xuetang...

By the time Xiao Xuetang let go of her hand, Ye Jin's back was already soaked with cold sweat. At this moment, the voice of the palace maid came: "Miss Jin, Miss Xiao, why are you two standing here? The Queen has been waiting for a long time."

Then the maid saw the two sisters at loggerheads, and a trace of inquiry flashed in her eyes...

Xiao Xuetang let go of Ye Jin's hand, brushed away the wrinkles on her clothes, and said with a smile: "Sister Jin, the weather is hot, you see your makeup is all smudged, you should touch it up."

As she spoke, she handed Ye Jin a makeup box.

The makeup box was only the size of a palm, and was carved with jasmine patterns. It was very beautiful. When I opened it, I smelled a faint jasmine fragrance, which turned out to be the fine powder made by Yan Xinji.

Ye Jin valued her reputation, so naturally she was unwilling to go into the palace to meet people with the slap mark on her face. She glared at Xiao Xuetang fiercely, but still took the makeup box handed to her by Xiao Xuetang and touched up her makeup.

"Thank you sister."

After finishing her makeup, Ye Jin calmed down and gave Xiao Xuetang a sweet smile.

However, deep in her eyes, there was a coldness, and the look she gave Xiao Xuetang was like a poison...

Everyone knows that Queen Wang hates the Xie family very much, and Xiao Xuetang grew up in the Xie family. This time when she enters the palace, even if Xiao Xuetang does not die, he will be skinned alive.

Although Xiao Xuetang did not seem to show it on her face at this moment, she knew in her heart that Queen Wang had ulterior motives in attending the banquet, and she had been secretly on guard.

When the two sisters arrived at Fengyi Palace with discord in their hearts, they saw that the palace servants who were attending the banquet had already gathered, and they could hear voices talking from afar.

"Your Majesty, Miss Jin and Miss Xiao are here to see you."

The voice of the palace maid brought a temporary silence to the inner hall where people were laughing and talking.

Everyone in Kyoto knows that the Xiao family's legitimate daughter and adopted daughter are not on good terms with each other, to the point where they are almost incompatible. How could the two of them enter the palace together?

Amid the surprised gazes of others, Xiao Xuetang and Ye Jin had already entered the inner hall.

The Fengyi Palace was as magnificent as he remembered. There were heavy curtains hanging in the palace, and the doors between the front and back halls were closed, giving a feeling of being cramped and suffocating.

The sunlight shone through the carved auspicious patterns and fell on people's bodies, creating mottled light and shadows, making it impossible to tell whether the queen, who was high above, was happy or angry.

"Your humble servant Xiao Xuetang greets Her Majesty the Queen."

Xiao Xuetang and Ye Jin knelt on the ground together. She clearly felt the Queen's sharp gaze linger on her for a moment.

Although it was only for a moment, the probing gaze from the superior still gave Xiao Xuetang goosebumps...

Soon, the queen's elegant voice was heard: "Get up, this is not your first time in the palace, there is no need to be so restrained."

Even if the Queen blamed Xiao Xuetang for the other half of yesterday's incident at the Huguo Temple in addition to Lin Shaoshu, it was impossible for her to embarrass her in public.

At most, use dirty tricks...

Xiao Xuetang understood this very well, so he looked quite calm during the meeting. After expressing his gratitude, he stood up and stood beside Xie.

Xie's body trembled, and there was a hint of relief in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Xuetang.

Xiao Xuetang was helpless...

Although she was not on good terms with Ye Jin, she had not broken off with the Yong'an Marquisate. With so many eyes staring at her at the palace banquet today, it would be strange if she was not with Xie!

However, what surprised Xiao Xuetang was the Queen's attitude...

Yesterday, due to the incident at the Huguo Temple, the prince was punished to reflect on his actions behind closed doors, and there is no telling when he will be released.

Wang Qingshan was also imprisoned in the Imperial Censorate, and the prince's companion was also implicated. The Eastern Palace suffered a heavy loss this time!

The Queen has always been a vengeful person. The less she shows her temper now, the more it shows that she is planning something big.

Xiao Xuetang was on guard, not even daring to touch the tea beside her, and she was alert...

At this moment, the palace maid beside the queen came over and said, "Your Majesty, everything is ready. You can ask all the ladies to move to Wenyuan Pavilion..."
