In recent days, Cheng Qiqi has been feeling a little uncomfortable.
She originally planned to be a transparent person, hiding behind the Empress Dowager Yin, quietly watching the fight between Yu Jiujiu and Shen Ling, and waiting for them to fight to the death and lose the love of the Empress Dowager Yin and Emperor Xuanping, before she came out to enjoy it. Fisherman's profit.
But she didn't expect that the big fights she was waiting for didn't happen at all.
Not only that.
The relationship between Yu Jiu Jiu and Shen Ling is getting better and better, and they are even like brothers and sisters with Yu Yue and Yu Jin. The two princes who only doted on Shen Ling in the past and only regarded Shen Ling as their most important relative are now clearly He also visibly dotes on Yu Jiu Jiu.
Cheng Qiqi remembered very clearly that in the last life, Emperor Xuanping wanted to canonize Shen Ling as a princess, but Yu Jiujiu made a fuss, which led to Emperor Xuanping not canonizing Shen Ling in the end.
And in this life, Shen Ling was canonized... Speaking of which, it was all because of Yu Jiujiu!
Seeing the relationship between several people getting better and better, Cheng Qiqi was really suffocated and couldn't sit still.
But she didn't dare to act rashly.
These days, although she is transparent in front of others, she is not transparent at all in the Queen Mother's palace.
In her previous life, she saved the Queen Mother and almost offended all the maids and eunuchs in the Queen Mother's Palace. In this life, she was a real life-saver to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother also liked her very much. No matter what she did, she always loved her. He liked to take her with him, and the entire palace knew of her existence.
Cheng Qiqi naturally took advantage of the Queen Mother's regard for her and established good relations with the palace officials of Cining Palace.
Everyone praised her for not only being good-looking, but also being a nice person.
Now, she has used the rewards given to her by the Queen Mother to successfully bribe several palace officials for her own use.
But the question is, what should she do?
It was impossible to fight Yu Jiujiu and Shen Ling directly. She was just brought back by the Queen Mother and was not given any status. She did not have the capital to fight these two little princesses.
But if we can drive a wedge between the two of them...
Cheng Qiqi thought about it all night.
Early the next morning, with red eyes, she went to wait on the Queen Mother.
Queen Mother Yin was half leaning on the beauty's couch, reading a book, while Cheng Qiqi was beating her legs.
On weekdays, Cheng Qiqi would say some funny words when serving her, but today, he was obviously silent.
This was so abnormal that Queen Mother Yin had to notice it, so she glanced at her and found that her eyes were red, as if she had cried. She put down the book in her hand, motioned for her to stop, and then asked: "This What's wrong? Are you crying? Who bullied you? Talk to Aijia."
"The Queen Mother..." Cheng Qiqi softened his voice and only said this, then he couldn't hold it back anymore and raised his hand to wipe away his tears.
"What's wrong? You keep crying like this, how can that be okay?" Queen Mother Yin was very gentle to her. As she spoke, she motioned to Yunxiang to wipe her tears.
Cheng Qiqi didn't dare to cry like this for fear of making Queen Mother Yin impatient.
She pretended, and soon she lowered her head slightly sadly and said: "Empress Dowager, Qiqi just thought that Qiqi has a humble status. He has never read a book since he was a child, and he doesn't know a single big character. In this palace, what will happen in the future? I'm afraid I won't be able to serve the Queen Mother like Miss Yunxiang, so I feel a little sad."
When Queen Mother Yin heard this, she laughed: "What do I think it is? There are many illiterate people in this palace. Besides, you are the savior of the Ai family. How could the Ai family let you stay by their side to serve them all their lives?" What? Isn’t that delaying you? In a few years, after you are born, the Ai family will choose a suitable husband for you and prepare a dowry for you. You can marry him and live your life well. "
When Cheng Qiqi heard this, his expression changed slightly.
Just because in her previous life, Queen Mother Yin also said that she would choose a husband for her.
At that time, I actually made a selection for her. The people who could be selected were all with low official positions and average family backgrounds. How could it be better than being a princess and being able to choose the number one scholar as her husband?
Cheng Qiqi felt that since God allowed her to live again, he would not just want her to live a mediocre life, but would want her to fight for it.
So, she immediately threw herself into the Empress Dowager Yin's arms coquettishly, imitating how Yu Jiujiu usually behaved coquettishly with the Empress Dowager Yin, rubbed her head, and said in her throat: "The Queen Mother, Qiqi doesn't want to get married, Qiqi just wants to
I will serve you all my life. Qiqi has never had any relatives treat me well since she was a child. Only you are like Qiqi’s own grandmother..."
What she said was also very pitiful.
Empress Dowager Yin thought of her life experience and sighed. Since she decided to take her back to the palace, she naturally decided to treat her well.
But forget about kissing grandma or anything.
"Since you are so determined, why not let it be like this, Bingyan, just accept Qiqi as your step-granddaughter." Queen Mother Yin suddenly said to Grandma Bingyan.
Grandma Bingyan was stunned for a moment, before she could agree.
Cheng Qiqi reacted greatly and straightened up from the Empress Dowager Yin's arms. She said with a shocked look on her face: "What?"
Why didn't Queen Mother Yin adopt her as her goddaughter?
In this way, she can be regarded as a little princess!
Why did she become a goddaughter to a palace maid named Aunt Yunxiang in her previous life, and why would she be a goddaughter to an old palace maid named Aunt Bingyan in this life?
At this time, Grandma Bingyan couldn't help but frown slightly when she saw her reacting so strongly.
Queen Mother Yin looked at Cheng Qiqi with a sharp look in her eyes: "You don't want to?"
She has been the auxiliary queen mother for decades, and she has always said what she says. No one in the court dares to disobey, and her aura is that of being calm and self-reliant.
Cheng Qiqi immediately felt the change in her attitude, and couldn't help feeling a little scared.
"Empress Dowager, Qiqi is not unwilling, but Qiqi is afraid that she is from a humble background, and Grandma Bingyan will look down on Qiqi..." Cheng Qiqi took a deep breath, forced himself to control his emotions, and then squeezed his face.
He gave a very forced smile.
Although Grandma Bingyan is old, her eyes are very good.
She saw the various changes in Cheng Qiqi's expression, and suddenly realized that Cheng Qiqi, who always seemed innocent on the surface, was actually not simple.
"Empress Dowager, this old slave is very happy, but my status is not noble. I am afraid that I will wrong Miss Qiqi." Grandma Bingyan politely declined.
Aunt Bingyan is the one the Queen Mother has used since she was a child.
There is naturally a kind of communion between master and servant.
And Queen Mother Yin has lived for most of her life, what kind of person has not seen it?
Although Cheng Qiqi was well hidden, this time he was exposed, and all his previous disguises were in vain.
For a moment, Queen Mother Yin fell silent.
She supported her forehead with one hand, still lazily leaning on the beauty's couch, and picked up the book again with the other hand, as if reading, but actually thinking.
All the palace people in the main hall felt the coldness surrounding Queen Mother Yin, and no one dared to disturb her.
