Lan Xue sighed faintly: "Master Lan told me this. Although he and his mother were married, they were a couple in name only. My mother agreed to give up her position as the head wife to Mrs. Lan, so Master Lan and his wife have been raising children.
Follow me. After my mother died, Master Lan accidentally discovered the clue..."
Hearing these words, Emperor Xia was filled with sadness. He didn't expect that the woman he liked had never betrayed him until her death, and yet she was killed so pitifully! "Who is the mastermind?"
"A certain concubine in the harem! If I find that woman, I will naturally make her worse than death. She will be a useless person for the rest of her life, unable to survive or die. Well, just like with the noble concubine!"
Emperor Xia was stunned. Could it be that Xue'er did it to the imperial concubine? With her strength, she could indeed avoid the palace guards. "Xue'er, I just told the imperial concubine that if the assassin is not eliminated, he will also be a threat to the father. Look at this
How's it going?"
Lan Xue knew that Emperor Xia understood what she meant, and said softly: "I don't think the emperor should worry, the assassin only injured the imperial concubine He, and not even half of her maid's finger was hurt, so he will definitely not hurt the emperor.
"
"Xue'er is right, An Xiao, just find a way to suppress this matter!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." An Xiao glanced at Lan Xue with some awe. Princess Xue did such a thing as soon as she entered the palace. The Emperor still indulged her so much. I'm afraid he will have to respect her in the future.
After the matter with the imperial concubine was resolved, Lan Xue naturally felt much better.
However, there is still one issue that has not been resolved, and that is the matter of the palace maid Xiao He.
Lan Xue was still thinking about how to deal with her, but not long after the emperor left, he heard that the Crown Princess was visiting.
The Crown Princess looks really virtuous and dignified. In Lan Xue's opinion, she is definitely a qualified lady!
Her words and deeds were free and noble, and the gifts she brought from the two palace maids were even more eye-catching. They were not only precious, but also very in line with the girl's wishes.
It can be seen that a lot of effort was put into preparing it, but as long as everyone knows what the purpose is.
"Sister Xue'er, the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince said that you are new to the palace, so I'm afraid you won't get used to it, so they asked me to stay with you more. If you don't dislike my sister-in-law, she will come and sit with you more often."
Lan Xue smiled slightly: "How can I dislike it? The emperor's sister-in-law is really good at talking and choosing gifts. These things are all very popular!"
"As long as my sister likes it, my sister-in-law doesn't know what you liked before, so she made these jewelry for you in the style that everyone likes."
"It's really costing the royal wife a lot of money. When it comes to my gifts, I really don't have anything in particular that I want. However, there is one thing that I really want."
The Crown Princess was stunned for a moment, then laughed happily: "What is it? Just tell Sister Xue'er and I will figure it out."
"Hehe, it will definitely be easier with the help of the imperial sister-in-law. What I want is a palace maid. I heard that she works in the queen mother's palace, and her name is Xiaohe."
"A palace maid? Is it difficult for my sister to use people here?"
"No, but I heard that she was once my mother's dowry maid. Is it possible that by fate, I can see her in the palace of Xia Kingdom? I want to ask her to come to me and take good care of her."
The Crown Princess was stunned. How did her mother's maid come to Xia Kingdom? Is there something fishy about this? Princess Xue didn't look like an old love. However, no matter what the reason, it wouldn't be too serious if she was just a palace maid.
Important. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Sister Xue'er, don't worry, I will go and tell the Queen Mother soon. I believe the Queen Mother will definitely help you."
"Well, thank you to the Queen's Wife. I'm not taking advantage for nothing. The Queen's Wife helped me this time. I will help you if you need me in the future."
"Look, what my sister said is from her own family, so there's no need to be so polite."
…
After chatting for a while, the Crown Princess took the people away. Naturally, she had to keep the palace maid Xiao He in mind.
When she mentioned this matter to the queen, the queen thought for a while, and finally seemed to think of something. Her eyes turned cold: "Huh, I didn't expect that someone could stretch his hand so long and insert someone into my palace. Yingran, since Princess Snow
If she wants revenge, then we will help her, not for anyone else, but for the sake of the prince, so you should take good care of her."
"Yes, Queen Mother. But is this palace maid of any use?"
"I guess it's the spy who planted me here with the imperial concubine. It's not easy to hide it for more than ten years! Fortunately, the people I trust are all brought from my natal family to have children. Otherwise, they might actually get it.
What news is there!"
The Crown Princess was frightened for a while. This game with the Imperial Concubine was indeed ordinary and forbearing. "Princess Snow said she was her mother's dowry maid. Among them-"
"Huh, it's suspicious to be a dowry maid. You also know her situation. The previous master was a certain lady from Chu State, but after her death, she came to Xia State to work as an errand, or to enter the palace. What do you think?
Aren’t you curious about the tricks?”
The Crown Princess couldn't help but be surprised when she thought of a possibility, "Mother, you mean that you and the imperial concubine might..."
"What's possible? It must be! In my opinion, she probably brought it upon herself to become a cripple this time. Didn't you see that the emperor was a little angry at first, but after he went to Yonghe Palace and met Princess Snow, he became very cold
What?"
"So Princess Snow told Father about this matter?"
The queen nodded, "It's very likely. Women in the harem are all petty, but they are too wild and cruel to leave others a way out and leave a little room for themselves. Yingran, you still have
Little one, you will understand it later, just learn it little by little!"
"Yes, my daughter-in-law is still young. I hope my mother will give me more guidance in the future."
"We are a family, and you don't have to be too restrained. As long as you have courage, be ruthless when you need to be ruthless, and know how to let go when you need to be ruthless, no one can change your position as Crown Princess!"
"Yes, wife, keep this in mind."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a while, and then the queen sent the princess away.
Thinking of the emperor's attitude towards Lan Xue, it was definitely a lie to say that she felt comfortable. However, as her son said, the emperor was their God. God could make them unhappy, but they couldn't make God unhappy.
.
She had to deal with it well. Fortunately, she already had a prince; fortunately, Lan Xue was just a princess, and her mother was buried in peace, so she would not pose any threat to their mother and son.
Otherwise, she would really have a headache.
After the queen calmed down, she called her eldest maid and said: "Send the little maid in charge of tea to Princess Snow and tell her that I gave it to her. If she needs anything else, just ask me
Come on."
"Yes, Queen."
…
As for the usually ordinary little palace maid, Xiao He herself, her expression immediately changed after hearing the message from the elder palace maid, "Why does the queen dare to leave Kunning Palace as a slave?"
"The Queen has asked you to go to Yonghe Palace to serve Princess Snow. Do you have any objections?"
Xiaohe's face turned pale and he looked at the eldest palace maid pleadingly: "Sister Liu, please let the queen keep this slave. This slave is reluctant to leave Kunning Palace..."
The eldest maid who conveyed the message was one of the queen's confidants. How could she believe her words? She snorted coldly: "You, a little maid, can't disobey the queen's order. Let's go!"
No, she can't go to Yonghe Palace!
Yesterday during the palace banquet, she accidentally saw Princess Snow. Her almost identical appearance almost scared her to death.
