The First Daughter of Rebirth

Now that she had made up her mind, Xiao Xiaoxiao didn't want to waste any more time escaping. After saying goodbye to Zhao Keran, she followed a young eunuch and left the Royal Garden.

Looking at Xiao Xiaoxiao's leaving figure, Zhao Keran's mouth raised a smile. Originally, she had never expected that today's matter would go so smoothly. Because in the past, she had also persuaded her mother and concubine, but she didn't do it at all.

It was useless. But today, after persuasion, the mother-in-law was actually willing to face the past. It seems that the day when the father-in-law and the mother-in-law are reconciled is not far away!

As long as he thought of this, Zhao Keran felt that he was in a really good mood today.

On the other side, Xiao Xiaoxiao followed the little eunuch and walked towards the north of the palace. Soon, he passed through the luxurious palace, which gradually became deserted and became less and less popular. In the end, it was simply

It can be described as inaccessible.

Under the leadership of the young eunuch, Xiao Xiaoxiao arrived in front of a palace. Perhaps this was no longer a palace. The red bricks on the outer wall had begun to fall off, and the tiles on the roof looked like they would fall off at any time.

It's the same as before. There is a plaque hanging just above the gate, but the words on it can no longer be seen clearly.

Xiao Xiaoxiao did not let anyone follow her, but walked in alone. The further inside, the more desolate everything became, with withered trees, fallen flower branches, and tattered palace walls.

If Xiao Xiaoxiao hadn't known that she was in the palace, she would have thought she was in some dilapidated house!

Xiao Xiaoxiao walked in. As soon as she entered the door, waves of dust kept rushing towards her face. She was choked and couldn't help coughing a few times. Seeing such a scene, she couldn't help but frown slightly.

, she always knew that the Cold Palace was not a good place, but she never expected that it would deteriorate to such an extent.

Just when Xiao Xiaoxiao was feeling extremely emotional, a figure suddenly burst out of the darkness, startling her. However, the body's reaction was always faster than the brain's reaction, so Xiao Xiaoxiao kicked her instinctively.

passed.

After coming back to her senses, Xiao Xiaoxiao saw clearly what it was. It turned out that the black shadow just now was actually the former queen-Lin Fengyi.

If Xiao Xiaoxiao hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Xiao Xiaoxiao would hardly have believed that the person in front of her was the empress who used to be the mother of the world. Although Lin Fengyi was not young in the past, she had always been pampered and well-maintained.

.In the past, she was bright and noble, and she definitely looked at least ten years younger than her actual age.

The woman in front of her was wearing shabby clothes, her hair was messy, and her eyes were messy. I don’t know if it was because she was used to being pampered, so she was not used to living like that all of a sudden. Lin Fengyi had long lost her former beauty, and she looked in front of her.

She looks like an old woman who is aging slowly. She has a lot of wrinkles on her face, and her long black hair has already turned gray.

If it weren't for their somewhat similar faces, Xiao Xiaoxiao would hardly believe that the person in front of her was Lin Fengyi.

"You are so brave, you dare not kneel down when you see me."

Before Xiao Xiaoxiao came to her senses, Lin Fengyi had already stood up and yelled, "I am the queen, you don't want to die, do you? You dare to be disrespectful to me, I will chop off your head."

"You are just a cheap servant, and you dare to ignore my orders."

"I am the emperor's most beloved queen. I am the queen, the queen."

The sudden sound startled Xiao Xiaoxiao, but she had already seen clearly that Lin Fengyi's eyes in front of her were cloudy and not clear at all.

Seeing such a scene, Xiao Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Her heart had always been filled with hatred for Lin Fengyi. But looking at the crazy person in front of her, she didn't know if she should continue to hate her.

she.

Lin Fengyi did cause her a lot of misery back then, but Keran was right. It wasn't just Lin Fengyi who was at fault for what happened back then. Wasn't it possible that she and Ling Zhi were not at fault?

Now Lin Fengyi has received the punishment she deserves. Her son has lost the throne and been imprisoned. And she has now been banished to the cold palace and is even crazy.

She had heard that Lin Fengyi was crazy before. At that time, she thought she was just pretending, but now she is sure that Lin Fengyi is really crazy.

She is a medical student herself, so she can still tell if she is pretending to be crazy. It seems that her son's rebellion failed, her family was uprooted, and was thrown into the cold palace. There were too many things that Lin Fengyi couldn't bear.

Already.

Seeing Lin Fengyi like this, Xiao Xiaoxiao felt that no matter how much hatred she had, it had disappeared. It turns out that as time goes by, no matter how deep the hatred is, it will become insignificant.

Ever since Xiao Xiaoxiao entered the cold palace, Lin Fengyi had no reaction and was still talking to herself, with no sparkle in her eyes.

"The Ai family is the Queen Mother, and now the Ai family is the queen mother. The Ai family's Tian'er, the Ai family's Tian'er is now the emperor, and the Ai family is now the Queen Mother."

"Xiao Xiaoxiao, Xiao Xiaoxiao, you are such a rude person, you will never be able to defeat the Ai family in your life, hahaha, the Ai family is now the Queen Mother, no one can beat the Ai family now."

Looking at Lin Fengyi who was talking crazily, Xiao Xiaoxiao sighed, and regardless of whether she understood or not, she spoke, "Lin Fengyi, you are totally responsible for what you are today. But it's okay now, I don't hate you.

You, at least I no longer hate you. Now that the past has passed, I don’t want to be entangled in it anymore. This is the last time I see you, and we will never have any chance to meet again in the future. Hate

It doesn’t matter if we don’t hate each other, from today onwards, we are settled.”

For Lin Fengyi, maybe this is the best ending! If there is no accident, she will never be able to get out of this cold palace in her life. In this case, it is better to be so crazy and sober.

After saying what she wanted to say, Xiao Xiaoxiao ignored Lin Fengyi and left Leng Palace, heading towards her next destination.

Although Xiao Xiaoxiao felt resentful about what happened to Lin Fengyi back then and now, she also understood that this was a normal thing. The harem was never peaceful.

The harem is a battlefield without smoke, and the war between women has never stopped, so she knew the reason why Lin Fengyi harmed her back then. But the one she couldn't understand the most was the Queen Mother.

Back then, after she entered the palace, apart from Ling Zhi, the person who treated her best was the Queen Mother. Although she was not the daughter-in-law chosen by the Queen Mother, it was obvious to all that the Queen Mother treated her well. Although the Queen Mother did not treat her like her own child

She is the same as her daughter, but she is also very good. No matter what good things he has, he will think of her. Sometimes he treats her even better than he treats the queen, the real daughter-in-law.

So now she can't accept why the Queen Mother clearly knew what happened back then but didn't say anything, and even her attitude towards the Queen didn't change at all.

Just thinking about this, Xiao Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel chilled. She really wanted to know why. She even wanted to know whether the Queen Mother was sincere to her back then, and what happened back then.

Is the Queen Mother also involved?

Xiao Xiaoxiao did not want the eunuch to lead the way, but walked towards Kangning Palace by herself. Although she had left the palace for many years, she still knew the way to Kangning Palace. Back then, she often went to the Queen Mother

Greetings, even if you don’t want to remember it, it would be difficult!

It didn't take long for Xiao Xiaoxiao to arrive at Kangning Palace. Kangning Palace has always been the residence of the empress dowagers of all generations, which is naturally very good. After Situ Xu ascended the throne, he did not canonize the empress dowager, so now Kangning Palace has always been the residence of the empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager is living there. In the past, Kangning Palace was always busy with people coming and going, and the concubines were coming and going, making it always very lively.

Xiao Xiaoxiao stood outside Kangning Palace and couldn't help but lament that fate has played a trick on people. Today's Kangning Palace has long lost its former prosperity and looks very deserted.

Although the Queen Mother had always loved Situ Xu, it was just a general love for a younger generation, and there was no special love. In the Queen Mother's heart, the most important thing was her grandson - Situ Tian.

Situ Tian has been imprisoned now. Although Situ Xu is not very close to Xiao Xiaoxiao, he is still a little dissatisfied with the Queen Mother's actions back then. Therefore, he cannot get close to the Queen Mother.

Nowadays, only a few princes and concubines come to the palace to pay their respects on certain days. On normal days, few people come, so the current Kangnying Palace is no longer what it used to be and looks very deserted.

Xiao Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, stepped forward, and entered Kangning Palace.

After a cup of tea, Xiao Xiaoxiao was already sitting in the main hall of Kangning Palace. The eunuchs and maids of Kangning Palace did not dare to neglect her at all.

Although there is no Queen Mother in the palace now, everyone knows that Concubine Xiao is the biological mother of the emperor, and the Emperor obviously cannot forget his love for Concubine Xiao. Especially now that Concubine Xiao still lives in the palace.

, and she lives in the Qifeng Palace where all the queens have lived, so even if she is not canonized, everyone still consciously treats Xiao Xiaoxiao as the queen mother, without any hesitation.

Not long after, the Queen Mother came out of the inner hall.

Looking at Xiao Xiaoxiao who was drinking tea leisurely, the Empress Dowager frowned without a trace. In the past, she had a certain fondness for Xiao Xiaoxiao. Then what happened, she

Xiao Xiaoxiao is also apologetic. But now that Xiao Xiaoxiao's son has ascended the throne, she can't be happy. Situ Xu has never been very close to her. Ever since Situ Xu ascended the throne, she has not been

She had lost her previous prestige, so when she saw Xiao Xiaoxiao now, she really wasn't happy at all.

After the Empress Dowager sat down, Xiao Xiaoxiao stood up and saluted. No matter what happened, he was always her elder. And when they were in the palace, the Empress Dowager was still somewhat sincere towards her.

After the ceremony, the main hall fell into silence for a while.

Looking at Xiao Xiaoxiao, who was no longer young but still extremely elegant, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but said, "Concubine Xiao, what's the matter with you coming to Kangning Palace to see the Ai family today?"

"Concubine Xiao?" Upon hearing the title of the Empress Dowager, Xiao Xiaoxiao's lips curved into a sarcastic smile, "It seems that the saying that the world is ever-changing is absolutely correct. I still remember that in those days, the Empress Dowager, you

I always call her my concubine Xiaoxiao affectionately. We haven’t seen her for many years, but we have become Mrs. Xiao.”

The Empress Dowager didn't care about Xiao Xiaoxiao's sarcastic smile. She also smiled at the corner of her mouth, but the smile did not reach her eyes. "Concubine Xiao, you would also say that I haven't seen you for many years. After so many years, there are

Many things have changed. Just like for many years, you were just a little noble concubine, but now your son has become a noble concubine. Although you have not been canonized yet, no one in the palace has treated you like a noble concubine.

Do you respect me as much as the Queen Mother? Besides, Concubine Xiao, didn’t you also call me Queen Mother very affectionately back then? Aren’t you also the Queen Mother now?”

"Forget it!" Xiao Xiaoxiao didn't bother with the title, "The Empress Dowager, I haven't seen you for so many years. I'm not here today just to reminisce about the past. There are some things that I really can't figure out, so I came here.

I came here to ask for advice. I wonder if the Empress Dowager would be willing to give me some advice?"

"If you want to know anything, just ask!" The Queen Mother frowned, but still said, "The Ai family knows that there are many things in your mind that you can't figure out."

"The Empress Dowager, I just want to ask you, do you know what Lin Fengyi harmed me back then?" Xiao Xiaoxiao did not mince words and spoke directly, "You knew what happened back then, but you didn't

There is no reaction or action, is there?"

"That's right." The Empress Dowager did not hide anything. "The Ai family knew everything the queen did back then. Even when she did it, the Ai family knew about it, but they did not stop it."

Although she had thought about such an answer, Xiao Xiaoxiao still couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart. She didn't expect that the elder who seemed to love her so much back then actually knew about it and allowed such a thing to happen.

.

"Why?" Xiao Xiaoxiao held back the pain in her heart, her voice seemed a little hoarse, "Was your kindness to me back then also hypocritical?"

"No, the Ai family did like you back then." The Empress Dowager looked directly into Xiao Xiaoxiao's eyes without any evasion, "The Ai family's affection for you back then was true."

"Then why did you do this?" Xiao Xiaoxiao knew that she was not lying, but she was just puzzled. Her voice couldn't help but raise a few degrees, "Since you are sincere to me, why do you still let this happen?

What happened, do you know, this incident has ruined my life."

"Yes, the Ai family does like you." The Empress Dowager said calmly, "Although you were not a popular girl back then, you were a good woman. The Ai family does like you. But no matter what

All is well, the queen is the daughter-in-law of the Ai family, and Tian'er is the direct grandson of the Ai family. Back then, if you had given birth to a son, with the emperor's love for you, the queen's position would have been lost.

"

"Are you going to sacrifice me just for the queen and the prince?" Xiao Xiaoxiao tried hard to control her emotions, "So you let the queen do such a thing. But have you ever thought about it, what if I really did it back then?

If you are pregnant, he will also be your grandson! How can you be so cruel?"

"The Ai family has no other choice." After the Queen Mother glanced at Xiao Xiaoxiao, she continued, "Prince Lin was still very powerful back then, so the Queen must secure her position. If there is any turmoil,

The consequences would be disastrous. Moreover, whether you are willing to admit it or not, only Lin Fengyi can secure the position of queen."

"The Empress Dowager, you don't have to speak so righteously."

Although she knew that the Empress Dowager was telling the truth, Xiao Xiaoxiao knew in her heart that it was just a superficial reason. "In fact, in the final analysis, it was just your selfishness. You liked me back then because of me."

I am not a queen. I only have the love of the emperor, but I do not have any rights. Although the queen has the power to command the harem, she is not liked by the emperor. You are good to me and alienate the queen. In fact, it is more to balance the harem.

, hold on to the power!”

Xiao Xiaoxiao may not have been able to see clearly before, but she is already different now, and after Keran analyzed so much with her before, she has already thought it through.

"Yes, so what?" The Queen Mother did not feel any discomfort, "However, the Ai family did like you very much back then. After hearing the news of your death, the Ai family also had a few feelings in their hearts.

I feel guilty. But the Aijia really didn’t expect that you would choose to leave the palace in this way. Moreover, as soon as you came back, you coaxed the emperor to pass the throne to your son. After all, the Aijia really

I underestimate you."

"So what?" Xiao Xiaoxiao was not angry at the Empress Dowager's sarcastic words. She even smiled, looked at the Empress Dowager, and said calmly, "What should we do? The Empress Dowager

Queen Mother, the grandson you have chosen has been placed under house arrest, and the one sitting on the throne now is my son. Everything you have done over the years has been in vain."

"Xiao Xiaoxiao, you-"

After hearing what Xiao Xiaoxiao said, the Empress Dowager was so angry that she slapped the table hard, "You don't have to be proud, no matter what you say, the Ai family is now the Empress Dowager. Moreover, the prince of the Ai family is still here.

, don’t think you can overwhelm Aijia.”

"Really?" Xiao Xiaoxiao smiled coldly, "You are indeed still the Empress Dowager, but can you still be as aloof as before?"
