In the Forbidden City, there have been frequent unlucky events in recent years, and the Empress Dowager inevitably felt restless. Three months ago, with the help of a large number of clan relatives, she went to Wutai Mountain to practice Buddhism and pay homage.

After the Empress Dowager left, the concubines only needed to go to Yikun Palace to pay their respects to the Empress sooner or later.

The same is true for underage elder brothers and princesses.

Little Yanzi didn't know these rules in the palace, so she woke up sleepily, saw that Ziwei had finished dressing, gasped and said, "Ziwei, what are you doing! Shufangzhai was given to us by Huang Ama, there is no Outsider, you don't have to get up early like a real court lady, just sleep a little longer!"

"Little Yanzi, when Madam is here, Miss greets Madam every morning and evening. After Madam leaves, Miss also has to offer incense to Madam every morning and evening," Jinsuo explained angrily, "It is a rule for Miss to get up early. You don’t really think of yourself as a court lady!”

Little Yanzi scratched her head when she heard the words, and said, "I'm sorry, Ziwei, my parents have died a long time ago, no one taught me these rules. Hurry up and get busy with your business!"

Ziwei nodded, and said: "Yongqi made an appointment with me last night, let Jinsuo and I go to his side, maybe we won't be back until later..."

"I know, I know!"

Little Swallow waved his arms impatiently, just wanting to go back to his room and continue to sleep.

Ziwei was ashamed of cheating little Yanzi at first, but when she saw Little Yanzi's attitude, she felt a little clear: Yong Qi was right, with Little Yanzi's personality, if the matter of the true and false princesses is not clarified early, it will only lead to worse the result of.

……

……

After offering incense for Xia Yuhe, Ziwei ate something, and accompanied by Jinsuo, she had a round with Yongqi, and then went to Yikun Palace together.

At this time, the concubines had already paid their respects and walked out of Yikun Palace talking and laughing.

Concubine Yu saw her son bringing two handsome and elegant women to Yikun Palace, thinking that her son would formally accept them as concubine, she said with a smile: "These two girls are born well, Yongqi, you have a good eye."

"My mother was joking."

Yongqi perfunctorily sent Concubine Yu away, and when she came back, she saw Ziwei talking to Concubine Shu with an adoring expression on her face, and she couldn't help asking: "Ms. Concubine Shu, what are you and Ziwei talking about?"

Concubine Shu misunderstood that Yongqi was interested in Ziwei, and upon hearing this, she said: "Yongqi, your Ziwei girl is both talented and beautiful, knowledgeable and well-educated, you must not just give her the status of a concubine!"

"Empress Concubine Shu, where are you thinking?"

Yong Qi looked helpless.

Concubine Shu smiled and said: "Yongqi, I was young too! After the status is confirmed, you should often bring Ziwei into the palace to chat with me!"

"Thank you, Concubine Shu!"

Ziwei originally worshiped Nalan Xingde, and when she learned that Concubine Shu also liked her, she immediately beamed with joy and hurriedly thanked her.

Hearing this, Yongqi became more and more helpless.

Concubine Ling felt even more uncomfortable seeing Ziwei so easily liked by Concubine Yu and Concubine Shu, but because of Yongqi's presence, she couldn't speak harsh words, so she had to leave bitterly, leaving the maid Chunchan near Yikun Palace snoop.

……

Sending away all the concubines who cared about Ziwei, Yongqi brought Ziwei and Jinsuo into Yikun Palace.

Before formally entering the room to say hello, Yong Qi said to Rong Wan: "Nurse, please inform me that Yong Qi has something important to ask to see the Queen Mother."

Rong Wan glanced at Ziwei and Jinsuo, and said: "The master has already ordered that if the fifth elder brother brings the two girls Ziwei and Jinsuo to see him, he can enter directly without notification."

Hearing this, Yong Qi realized that the queen might have doubts about Ziwei's identity, and said to Ziwei and Jinsuo: "The wisdom of the emperor's mother is very human, you must not hide anything during this meeting."

"Well, I'll be honest."

Ziwei has a sensitive personality, and now she is even more frightened.

Jinsuo grabbed Ziwei's arm and comforted him: "Miss, I think the empress is a reasonable person, and she will definitely not embarrass you for no reason!"

Rong Wan also said: "Miss Ziwei, I don't know what your difficulties are, but in the Forbidden City, if you hide anything, it will only cause more trouble."

"I see."

Ziwei bit her lower lip, and entered Yikun Palace with Rong Wan and Yong Qi.

……

Since the day Yongqi helped Ziwei enter the palace, She Shuxian has been waiting for Ziwei to speak.

Now, when Ziwei was finally persuaded by Yong Qi, She Shuxian was also very excited. Before Ziwei could salute, she said, "Ziwei, what are you looking for me for?"

"Empress, Ziwei has one thing to ask her before explaining her intentions. The empress said that Ziwei looks a lot like Xia Yuhe, is it true or..."

"It's really similar," She Shuxian said, "You and Xia Yuhe were carved out of the same mold."

"Has the lady ever suspected that Ziwei is Xia Yuhe's biological daughter?" Ziwei asked cautiously.

She Shuxian said: "If the emperor hadn't recognized little Yanzi, I would have thought you were Xia Yuhe's daughter!"

Then, she pretended to be surprised and said, "Could it be that you really—"

"me……"

Ziwei began to hesitate again.

Jin Suo couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "Miss, you can bear it, but I can't help it! Empress! That little swallow is not Madam's daughter at all, she is a fake! Miss is the child of the Emperor and Madam!"

"It's true!"

She Shuxian was secretly happy in her heart, but her face was reserved.

Seeing that Jinsuo had made the matter clear, Ziwei no longer concealed it for Little Swallow, and sold herself as a property. She traveled thousands of miles from Jinan to find the capital, met Little Swallow by chance, and entrusted Swallow to give the token to the emperor. The front edge that made the little swallow mistaken by the emperor for a legacy of the sea roughly said it once.

Although She Shuxian had watched the TV series "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" in the early years, when she actually heard Ziwei describe the hardships involved, she was still quite emotional, saying: "Ziwei, since you are the daughter of the royal family, why did you remain silent when you first met me? Ren Xiaoyanzi used your identity?"

Ziwei said: "When I saw that Little Yanzi returned to the palace as a princess, I really wanted to return to my identity immediately. But then... I was worried that telling the truth rashly would kill Little Yanzi, so I kept hesitating... until last night, Yongqi After talking with me for a long time, I realized that if you tell the truth now, little Yanzi may survive, but if you keep this matter hidden for a long time, until the truth is revealed..."

"So you decided to tell the truth to Bengong?"

"Yes," Ziwei said with tears in her eyes, "Empress Empress, please see that Little Yanzi is only momentarily ignorant, please forgive her!"

"Forgive her..."

She Shuxian smiled lightly, and said: "This matter is not about whether I am willing to forgive her, but whether she is willing to forgive herself."

"The Queen Mother..."

"You are not allowed to be called Empress Empress," She Shuxian corrected, "Since you are the daughter of the Emperor and Xia Yuhe, according to the rules, you should call me Empress Empress."

Ziwei followed the good advice, immediately changed her words, and said, "Emperor Niang, what do you mean by that?"

She Shuxian glanced at Rong Wan.

Rong Wan stepped forward and explained to Ziwei's master and servant: "Royal bloodlines can't be identified hastily with just a few tokens, not to mention that little Yanzi behaved like crazy and spoke rudely. The emperor saw the relics of Xia Yuhe brought by little Yanzi. , so he handed over the matter of the little swallow to the empress, and ordered the empress to send someone to educate the little swallow, and at the same time, go to Jinan to visit Xia Yuhe's relatives, inquire about Xia Yuhe's life, and repair Xia Yuhe's cemetery..."

She Shuxian added at this time: "Originally, I was only ordered by the emperor to send people to Jinan to investigate Xia Yuhe. But yesterday, when I saw Ziwei, you not only looked exactly like Xia Yuhe, but also didn't behave like the daughter of an ordinary family. She is Xia Yuhe's daughter, so I have sent a messenger to Jinan to bring all the relatives of the Xia family back to the capital. Even if your master and servant are concerned about the life of the little Yanzi and are reluctant to tell the truth, wait for the relatives of the Xia family to come back to the capital. When we come to the capital, this matter will still come to light. But by then, little Yanzi will be a sinner who pretended to be the emperor's relative!"

"Emperor Niang is bothering you."

After hearing what She Shuxian and Rong Wan said, Ziwei couldn't help but break out in cold sweat, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that it was true: ordinary people have to ask the truth to find their daughter who has been lost for many years, let alone her father is the emperor!How could it be possible to designate a stranger as a princess just because of a few calligraphy and paintings?

Fortunately, I listened to Yong Qi's words and asked the empress to explain the whole story, otherwise——

Thinking of the consequences, Ziwei was terrified again.

Seeing Ziwei's terrified expression, She Shuxian said, "Ziwei, are you worried about Little Swallow?"

Ziwei said: "Emperor Niang made atonement, Little Swallow has a pure personality, and was in a coma that day, so she didn't mean to impersonate the princess, and I asked Huang Erniang to intercede for Little Swallow in front of Huang Ama!"

"As long as she is willing to admit her mistakes, how can I not intercede for her?"

She Shuxian smiled, and ordered Xingxin to take Ziwei's master and servant down to meet the two princesses, Hejia and Heyi.

Ziwei envied Hejia's bearing and demeanor when she first saw Hejia that day. Now that she can finally recognize Hejia's sisters, and heard that there is a ten-year-old Princess Heyi in Yikun Palace, she is overjoyed at all. She didn't realize that She Shuxian's promise to Little Swallow was perfunctory.

Although Yongqi and Jinsuo were aware of the perfunctory, because they didn't like Little Yanzi, they pretended not to notice, and accompanied the innocent Ziwei to recognize the two sisters, Hejia and Heyi.

……

Sending off Ziwei's master and servant, She Shuxian said to Xinxin: "Xia Yuhe passed away not long ago, and Ziwei was still in Xiaozhong. Dressing like this is really nondescript. You go to the House of Internal Affairs and get some elegant silk jewelry for their master and servant."

"Whoo."

Stern backed down.

She Shuxian said to Rong Wan again: "Mrs. Fucha asked in front of the emperor yesterday to send the nanny from Shoukang Palace to Shufangzhai to teach little Yanzi the rules. Counting the time, they should also leave."

"Old slave understands, this old slave will go to Shufangzhai to investigate!" Rong Wan said.

She Shuxian said: "No need. In case you see Little Swallow beating the nuns of Shoukang Palace in Shufangzhai, you don't know whether you should step forward to stop her or not."

Guess, the one who will be unlucky is the little swallow or the concubine Ling~
