The reborn daughter is a concubine

Chapter 373 The plan fails, An Qiaohuai (1)
Even though she is an official lady, in the eyes of those officials, her impression of Duan Xinlan's arrogance is getting deeper and deeper!
Duan Xinlan's eyes narrowed slightly, and she sat next to the queen. The queen asked the maid to bring tea. The mother and daughter chatted while drinking tea, seeming to have forgotten the existence of An Qiao. An Qiao knew that it was theirs. deliberately ignoring her!Thinking of the Queen's words for announcing her entry into the palace, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but sarcasm, she doesn't look like a bored person!

An Qiao understood the intention of the two of them, but remained calm, and still stood there. She wanted to see, what kind of tricks did the two of them use to recruit her, besides ignoring her!
After about a stick of incense, the queen said meaningfully, "These days, the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming very well. I remember that Lan'er would always pick some flowers for me in this season. The petals came back for Ben Gong to take a bath, but this time, Lan'er might not be able to do her filial piety for Ben Gong, the injury on her body is still not healed, if something goes wrong, I will feel guilty even after soaking in the bath, Hey! What a pity!"

The queen sighed softly, put down the teacup in her hand, and leaned on the soft couch in a somewhat dispirited manner.

An Qiao was slightly startled, she was as smart as she was, of course she understood the meaning of the words, the queen said this, but she wanted to make herself go through this for Duan Xinlan, but she still smiled lightly, Those eyes are as calm as water, making it hard to see the depth inside.

An Qiao's silence made the Queen's face darken. Does this woman really not understand, or is she pretending not to understand?Normally, anyone with good eyesight would take the initiative to ask for Ying, in order to please her empress, but An Qiao didn't even respond at all!

Duan Xinlan's eyes flickered slightly, her face sank, and she said with a bit of guilt, "Mother, I blame Lan'er for hurting myself, otherwise, my mother must be taking a flower petal bath at this moment, but..." Speaking of this, Duan Xinlan's eyes turned to An Qiao, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, "Since Sister An is the daughter-in-law of the mother's mother, of course she is from her own family, so she should be filial to the mother. Lan'er feels that only An My sister can do this instead of Lan'er!"

An Qiao knew that in this palace, if she could move as much as she could, the queen didn't like her in the first place and would definitely find fault with her at all costs. The two of them sang and let her go The purpose of picking flower petals is not simple!

"Princess Xinlan said, but, An Qiao heard, the petals are best picked in the morning with dew. It is almost noon now, let alone the dew on the petals, even the moisture in the petals Some of them have been sunburned, An Qiao thinks, instead of going now, it is better to prepare for the queen tomorrow morning!" An Qiao did not show any panic, and spoke in a soft tone, making it impossible to pick out the slightest flaw.

However, for those who deliberately find fault, their malice cannot be stopped.

The queen's face darkened, and she snorted coldly, "I think you don't want to go! Don't think that you can be confessed if you marry into my Duan family. You have to do what ordinary people's daughters-in-law do! Come on! Man, prepare the outfit for the eldest princess, and take her to the imperial garden, it is the petals that have been dried by the sun, I want it today!"

The queen dropped these words lightly, stood up abruptly, exuding a burst of sternness, strode into the inner hall, leaving behind Duan Xinlan, An Qiao and a group of court ladies.

After the Queen left, Duan Xinlan lost the pretense she had just done, stood up and walked in front of An Qiao, looked at An Qiao fixedly, with a smile on her lips, "Sister An, my mother doesn't seem to like you!"

An Qiao smiled indifferently, "If you don't like it now, it doesn't mean you won't like it in the future!"

"Oh? You are so disobedient to your mother's intentions, do you think she will like you? Tell me, does your mother like you more as a daughter-in-law? Or do you like me more as a daughter?" The look in Duan Xinlan's eyes The provocation became more and more intense. Even though she knew that there was nothing she could do about An Qiao, she could hide behind her mother. The so-called killing with a knife, An Qiao would do it, and she, Duan Xinlan, would do it too!
There was a trace of disdain in An Qiao's eyes. Looking at the smug smile on Duan Xinlan's face, she whispered in her ear, "Princess Xinlan, are you so confident? Don't forget, your identity... and What you have to do!"

After saying that, I saw that the pride on Duan Xinlan's face suddenly froze, her face became more and more gloomy, her hands were clenched into fists, her lips were biting tightly, and she tried her best to hold back her anger, "Are you threatening me?"

This An Qiao, from the first time we met, she felt that she seemed to know a lot, even her secrets might be within her grasp. Thinking of the purpose and plan of herself and her brother, Duan Xinlan's eyes shot out. The sharp light makes people shudder.

"Yes, I'm threatening you!" An Qiao deliberately ignored the cruelty in her eyes, with a bright smile on her face, looked directly into Duan Xinlan's eyes, paused, and continued, "No But a threat is still a warning!"

She warned her not to try any tricks!Based on her understanding of Duan Xinlan, although this warning might not be helpful, she had the warning first, and if Duan Xinlan was going to touch her minefield, then she would not care about anything!

Leaving aside the grievances and grievances of the previous life, if others did not provoke her, she would not do anything to others!But if she tries to hurt her or the people she cares about, then she will not show mercy!
The two confronted each other, the bright smile on An Qiao's face was in stark contrast to Duan Xinlan's gloomyness, in the eyes of the court lady, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely strange, but no one dared to step forward, even the one who had prepared early in the morning Good basket, the maid who wanted to take An Qiao to the imperial garden just waited quietly, the two of them stayed like this for an unknown amount of time, the cruelty on Duan Xinlan's face gradually dissipated, replaced by a meaningful look laugh.

"Sister An, the empress is still waiting for your petals to take a bath! Don't keep the empress waiting for too long!" Duan Xinlan's mouth curled up with evil, "Oh, by the way, don't say I didn't remind you, the empress likes it!" It’s the petals at the pistils, don’t be self-defeating, you’ve spent a lot of effort, but instead of pleasing the queen mother, you’ll make the queen unhappy, then the loss outweighs the gain!”
