Chapter 309 The Queen Mother's Personal Maid

Zhao Xiwei came out of the small kitchen and was about to go to the main hall when he suddenly saw several court ladies gathered in the verandah discussing something, although their voices were kept low, they still couldn't restrain the excitement and resentment in their tone.

Zhao Xiwei didn't care at first, the palace people didn't understand the rules, so naturally she had a lesson from her aunt in charge, she was in a hurry to solve the princess's poisoning, how could she have the time to deal with a few impolite court ladies?

But as soon as she stepped through the palace gate, she heard words such as "Prince Princess", "Hit the Devil", and "Princess Xingke" vaguely from the crowd, and she immediately turned around.

Lan Ruo was about to yell at her, but Zhao Xiwei stretched out an index finger to signal her not to startle the snake.

"It's really a disaster...every time she enters the palace, we don't have a good life!"

"That's right! Did you know? The princess also got sick on the day of her wedding! What is it if it's not a calamity?"

"Amitabha, the Bodhisattva bless... expel her from the palace quickly! Otherwise we will suffer disaster!"

"We were born at the same time as her, we are really unlucky..."

"What are you afraid of? We are the ones serving the Empress Dowager, and it is not our turn to drive anyone away."

"But! His Royal Highness said that since we want to investigate, we should first investigate from Changxin Palace!"

"In order to favor the Crown Princess, we will drag our entire Changxin Palace as a backstop..."

"Isn't it! No wonder someone in the previous court said that the princess..."

"what?"

"It is said that she is pampered and spoiled, and sooner or later she will bring disaster to the country and the people!"

Zhao Xiwei stood in front of the palace gate with a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Someone was taken aback: "Ah, don't say that! It's a crime of disrespect!"

"What are you afraid of? The ministers of the previous court said that. You don't know. The officials at Yushitai scolded even worse, and Lord Yushi Zhou was even more powerful. At the Gu family banquet, he scolded the prince face to face. Concubine, she was so scolded that she blushed and didn't dare to say a word. Isn't Lord Zhou doing well now? To put it bluntly, His Royal Highness still knows how to be partial, and it is impossible for her to spoil the overall situation."

Some people disagreed: "That's right, don't look at the crown prince dragging Lingtai Lang and Taoist Xuanshan out, it's just a show! How could you offend the Queen Mother for her?"

"Hey, that's right! When she came in just now, I took a look from a distance... Don't even mention, those eyes, those eyebrows, alluring, delicate, those soft waists, thin , walking with a nice skirt..." The tone was annoyed, "It really looks a bit overwhelming, there is no guarantee that His Highness the Crown Prince will not be confused by her!"

With this description, the feeling of the picture rushes to the face, as if a witch who is a disaster for the country is right in front of her eyes.

The sense of justice rose rapidly, and the disgust immediately soared to the peak.

"Looks come from the heart, with such an appearance, she must be used to using those coquettish tricks!"

"If virtue is not worthy, you should be expelled from the palace!"

Zhao Xiwei listened, his expression changed from a sneer to astonishment.

When did she become a demon girl who harmed the country?

What unworthy thing did you do again?

But thinking about it again, it's not surprising that these are all people from the empress dowager's palace.

Ever since she entered the palace for the first time, the queen mother had her eye on her.

At that time, she was just a concubine in the prime minister's mansion. Her grandmother, aunt, sisters, and even her father were all unreliable. In order to gain a firm foothold, she endured when she should, and retreated when she should. With a word, a smile, Even an action, we must strive to do our best.

At that time, she had to be so tolerant when facing the female relatives in the back house, let alone facing the powerful queen mother?

A girl of sixteen or seventeen, who has never seen the majesty of the Tian family, is about to be called into the palace suddenly, and it is a lie to say that she is not afraid at all.

When she first got the news that she was going to enter the palace, she was so nervous that she didn't sleep well all night, and she specially arranged for someone to ask the eldest princess, hoping that she would come forward and say something nice for herself.

At that time, she also needed to humble herself against an opponent she couldn't fight back.

If the Queen Mother hadn't pushed her into a desperate situation, how could she have chosen to marry into the Eastern Palace?
So decisive, so urgent, even a little sloppy, because she has no room, no way to retreat.

Now, she is already a crown princess, and already has a certain status and power, why should she choose to forbear and give in?

No, she's not that kind of person.

Her forbearance is an expedient measure for a better counterattack.

The more firm the idea, the more cold the momentum.

The group of maids hid behind the pillars, still filled with righteous indignation.

Someone spat and scolded viciously: "That's right! As a princess, you should behave dignifiedly, and if you know that you have evil in your life, you should ask yourself to leave the palace to avoid it. Hmph, if there is nothing wrong with our Changxin Palace Forget it, otherwise, Queen Mother..."

"What does the Queen Mother want?"

A cold voice came from behind him, and several palace maids immediately shivered and turned their heads in unison.

He saw a woman in red with a pretty face and a slender figure standing calmly in front of the palace gate.

She put her hands behind her back, and her wide sleeves fluttered with the wind. There was a faint smile on her mouth, and there was no trace of anger on her expression, but somehow everyone felt a sense of oppression as if they were facing an enemy.

"Crown Princess..."

A sharp-eyed person recognized her identity, and was so frightened that his whole body went limp, and he leaned on the pillar and unconsciously read a sentence.

There is nothing scarier than being caught for swearing behind your back...

The maids shivered for a moment, feeling as if their souls had been sucked away by a ghost. They wanted to run, but they couldn't lift their feet, and they wanted to kneel, but they couldn't.

He could only stare wide-eyed, staring blankly and numbly at the woman in front of him.

The cold wind blows, bringing a faint aroma lingering at the tip of the nose.

It was she who walked over.

Everyone stared blankly, their facial muscles were so stiff that they couldn't even pull out a smile.

Zhao Xiwei stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back, his gaze unhurriedly sweeping around a few people.

Seeing them "Putong", "Putong" all knelt down, they pursed their lips and smiled.

"I'm really curious, if I don't want to go out of the palace to avoid it, what does the Queen Mother think?"

"..."

A group of people knelt on the ground and did not dare to breathe.

Dead silence.

Zhao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, showing some surprise, and said with a smile: "Aren't they all sharp-tongued just now? Why are everyone dumb now?"

With a casual finger, she pointed at the one who was the loudest and spit on the ground just now, and said in a leisurely tone, "Or, do you think that I am unworthy of virtue and have evil spirits in my life, so I am not qualified to talk to you?"

"..."

The maid raised her eyes and gave a quick glance.

Although she tried her best to conceal it, Zhao Xiwei still caught the fleeting hatred.

"Snapped!"

Zhao Xi raised her hand slightly, and a loud and clear slap landed on her left cheek.

"You...you dare to hit me!" The maid bared her teeth and shouted angrily, "I'm the grand maid of Changxin Palace!"
