She went to the East Palace to be a eunuch, and the prince became her subordinate.

"Your Highness the Seventh! Your Highness the Seventh! I haven't memorized the book left by the Taifu today..."

How could the palace maid really dare to catch Mo Tianqi? She could only trot behind him and coax her, "If the empress finds out, she will be angry again, Your Highness!"

Mo Tianqi's expression changed when he heard this, he stopped and stared at the maid, and angrily threw the book in the maid's hand into the water.

"I don't want to carry it! If you don't play with me, you know you want me to carry these boring things!"

Concubine Shu's face turned cold. When she came out, she happened to see Mo Tianqi throwing the book. She hated iron and steel and said, "Go and pick up the book."

How could the palace maid dare to disobey Concubine Shu? She immediately went into the water to fish it out. When she came up, she was already shivering from the cold. Seeing this, Concubine Shu softened her expression and put her own robe on the palace maid.

"I am in a hurry. Don't freeze. Go back and change your clothes quickly." Concubine Shu still had a decent smile on her face and took the book from the hands of the palace maid.

The book had been soaking for a while and was no longer usable, but Mo Tianqi didn't care much.

After the palace maid left, the look in Concubine Shu's eyes changed again and again. Before she could speak, she heard Mo Tianqi crying, "Concubine, you treat these slaves so well, why do you have to force me to endorse it!"

Hearing this, Concubine Shu wanted to slap her incompetent son, but she held it back and squatted in front of Mo Tianqi, "Qi'er, Concubine Shu wants you to study and read for your own good. If you keep playing for fun, you will You have never been liked by your father, and your mother and concubine will not stay by your side forever. If your father does not like you in the future, how will you live in this palace?"

It's a pity that her earnest words are hard for a child to listen to.

Now Mo Tianqi's heart and eyes are full of fun, and he can't calm down to listen. He only knows a few perfunctory words, and then runs to find gadgets to play with.

There was a gloomy look in Concubine Shu's eyes. If Mo Tianqi remained like this, she would have to find a way out for herself.

Since Concubine Lin regained her favor, Mo Qingsong had a lot more smiles on his face, and his face was full of joy every time he went to court. Occasionally, a few officials would compliment him, and Mo Qingsong was happy to accept it.

Mo Yunzheng completely pretended not to see this. Not only did he not see it, he also praised him even higher.

At the same time, Ye Xuwan was delivering a brocade box to Xu Zhaoyi, "Ms. Zhaoyi, Your Highness said this, you will know what needs to be done once you take a look at it."

Xu Zhaoyi is not a reliable ally, and both Mo Yunzheng and Ye Xuwan know this clearly.

Therefore, except for some things that needed her to do, she didn't have much contact with her on weekdays.

Xu Zhaoyi was a little surprised when she saw the contents in the brocade box, "This is..."

In the brocade box, there is a cleverly crafted silver hairpin with only half a butterfly and a few jade stones.

Rumors have been circulating in the palace that Empress Yuan's favorite hairpin is a silver hairpin, which is not luxurious but very dignified. The hairpin is half a butterfly.

It was a token of love with the emperor back then.

Ever since she entered the palace, Xu Zhaoyi had heard of the existence of that hairpin, but she had never seen it. Now that she saw it, she didn't dare to pick it up.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The hairpin that the Queen's first wife had was with Your Majesty. The current one is just an imitation, and it's not exactly the same."

Xu Zhaoyi's expression changed again and again, "What is your Highness going to do?"

With a smile on her lips, Ye Xuwan placed the brocade box on the table in front of Xu Zhaoyi, "Isn't it clear, my queen? You are a smart person. What to say and how to say it in the future must be much clearer than the slaves. Now in In this palace, you are the only one who has the ability to rival the noble concubine."

This is flattery, but it makes you feel comfortable no matter how you listen to it.

But Xu Zhaoyi also knows that if this kind of thing is not used well, it will be a copycat.

Seemingly sensing Xu Zhaoyi's worries, Ye Xuwan only left one sentence, "His Highness said that he has everything. You only need to wear this hairpin to the Imperial Garden tomorrow."

At the end, she did not forget to add, "This is your chance to be favored again. Your Majesty must not let it go."

Xu Zhaoyi knew that she had no other choice but to accept the hairpin. It's just that his face still doesn't look good.
-
Xu Zhaoyi really waited for the emperor in the imperial garden, but it was not just the emperor.

A group of concubines as well as Mo Yunzheng and other princes were also there.

"The concubine paid homage to His Majesty and met the noble concubine..."

Xu Zhaoyi was full of anxiety, but she still exposed the hairpin slightly as Ye Xuwan said.

When Concubine Lin saw the hairpin, her pupils suddenly shrank, "Xu Zhaoyi, you are so brave!"

Xu Zhaoyi immediately knelt on the ground and said in a low voice, but without flinching, "May I ask the noble concubine, what did the concubine do?"

Concubine Lin sneered and glanced at the emperor. Seeing that the latter's face also turned cold, she couldn't help but laugh at Xu Zhaoyi in her heart.

Such and such are just imitating others and making His Majesty unhappy.

"Where did you get this hairpin?" Concubine Lin said as she pulled out the silver hairpin from her head. "Do you know what this hairpin is?"

Xu Zhaoyi's eyes immediately turned red, and she raised her eyes to look at the emperor, "Your Majesty, I really don't know!"

Concubine Shu also spoke up at the right time, with a gentle tone, "This thing is a relic of the late queen. Where did you get it?"

Such a sentence immediately solidified the atmosphere on the field.

Seeing Xu Zhaoyi's defenseless appearance, Concubine Lin became even more happy, "I didn't know you were so courageous! You even dared to steal the late Queen's relics!"

"Your Majesty, I don't have it! I accidentally bought it from a stall before entering the palace. I haven't used it for a long time!"

Concubine Lin sneered, "You said you didn't, so you didn't? The evidence is here. Could it be that I framed you?! Why did you buy such a hairpin by coincidence?"

The emperor remained silent from beginning to end, obviously thinking of the late empress.

Since the death of the late Queen, few concubines have dared to use butterfly-style hairpins, let alone half-butterfly hairpins.

Mo Yunzheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "My dear concubine, can you show me the hairpin?"

Concubine Lin's expression changed. For some reason, she suddenly felt that this was too much of a coincidence.

But now in full view of everyone, she couldn't help it even if she didn't want to give it.

Unexpectedly, Mo Yunzheng only took it and looked at it before shaking his head, "This is not my mother's hairpin."

As soon as she said this, the smile on Concubine Lin's face suddenly froze, "How is that possible?!"

Even Concubine Shu could barely maintain the dignified and virtuous look on her face, "Yes, Your Highness, would you like to take a closer look?"

Mo Yunzheng glanced at them, with a smile deep in his eyes and a sullen tone, "What do you mean by the imperial concubine? Is it possible that Gu can't even recognize his biological mother's relics? Besides, Gu remembers the hairpin of his mother." Still at Father’s place.”

Ye Xuwan couldn't help but sigh at how wonderful this move was.

Since these concubines could not remember the appearance of the hairpin clearly, they borrowed such a hairpin to remind the emperor of his friendship with Empress Yuan.

Rekindling old feelings can burn people to death.
