yourself into this state. Do you want to go back now"Bai Feng fell silent for a moment, “Since everyone knows he will get angry, why should I go back now”After he finished speaking, his cold eyes swep...An Xuetang had no idea what Mo Yunjing and Mo Yunchen said. At this moment, she had just arrived outside Kunning Palace.

Kunning Palace has always been the empress's sleeping quarters. Looking at this luxurious palace, An Xuetang narrowed her eyes slightly and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, no wonder the women in the harem would fight to the death for the position of empress.

Just by looking at the lavishness of Kunning Palace, it's clearly superior to all other palaces by many times.

When An Xuetang appeared at the door, the palace maid who led her and the one waiting at the door exchanged glances. The palace maid guarding the gate then made a gesture forbidding entry to An Xuetang and Ning'er Shour. This palace maid, with a slightly arrogant air, spoke:

The Empress is currently unavailable to see guests. Please wait here for a moment.

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes. After the palace maid finished speaking, she slightly curled her lips and stared coldly at this domineering palace maid, saying, "Besides this sentence, is there anything else you need to tell this concubine"

The maidservant was taken aback, completely unsure of what An Xuetang meant.

Ninger clenched her fists, waiting for the palace maid to speak. As expected, after a moment of silence, the palace maid suddenly said, "I have nothing to say."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ning'er immediately slapped her hard.

This slap startled the maids who had brought them.

Impossible!

Then, after Ning'er finished smoking, Shou'er continued to step forward two paces and without a word, kicked the palace maid's two kneecaps, forcing her to kneel down.

The palace maid tried to struggle, but only heard Ning'er's ice-cold eyes stare at her, and she said coldly, "You are just a lowly palace maid. You dared to be so disrespectful to the Princess of Beijang after seeing her. Your crime is unforgivable!"

Before Shou'er could finish her words, an exceptionally sharp and cold voice rang out, "You have such a big appetite! You dare to run wild in my Kunning Palace like this, so arrogant and ignorant. Anyone who doesn't know would think that the Kunning Palace is under your control."

As soon as the words left her mouth, An Xue Tang and the others turned to look. They saw a woman dressed in exceptionally fine clothes being helped over by someone.

This was An Xue Tang's first time meeting the Empress. Looking at the Empress's attire, she truly understood what it meant to be dressed in splendor.

At this moment, the Empress was dressed in a golden and silver robe embroidered with phoenixes and auspicious birds, adorned with red and yellow hues. The sleeves were decorated with large peonies, vibrant and eye-catching.

The skirt was long and had a flowing train. The skirt was embroidered with silver phoenix patterns, making it very elegant. She also wore a phoenix crown on her head, symbolizing her status as empress.

Even her shoes were encrusted with diamonds, glittering in the sunlight.

While An Xuetang was sizing up the Empress, the Empress was also looking at An Xuetang. In the Empress's impression, this An Xuetang was just a country girl who only got the position of Northern Border Princess because she saved Mo Yunjing and used her kindness to ask him for the position.

In her eyes, An Xue Tang was a country bumpkin who couldn't be more rustic. But today, upon seeing her, An Xue Tang completely overturned her perception.

Looking at An Xuetang, who was so calm and composed, the Empress's eyes flickered with a hint of surprise and hatred.

Hate arose because An Xue Tang's beauty was so captivating, that every woman upon seeing her could not help but feel a surge of jealousy.

This An Xuetang has exquisite eyebrows and eyes. Although she doesn't wear makeup at this moment, her brows and eyes are so beautiful, it's a feast for the eyes.

She wasn't wearing particularly fancy clothes, but even in her simple riding attire, one could see her carefree spirit.

An Xuetang slightly bowed after the Empress approached, "Daughter-in-law An Xuetang, greets her Imperial Mother."

Her voice was neither servile nor disrespectful, and she maintained proper decorum. This prevented the Empress from immediately finding fault with her. Moreover, by directly addressing her as "Mother," she cut off any possibility of the Empress finding fault with her choice of words.

Although the empress in front of her was not Ajing's biological mother, the rules of the palace were such that she had to call this nominal empress "mother" if she didn't want people to talk about her.

The Empress did want to seize upon her title to argue, but she hadn't expected An Xuetang to directly call her "Mother," rendering her first plan useless. This moment, she raised an eyebrow, "Get up."

"Thank you, mother."

An Xuetang stood straight, a polite smile on her lips as she looked at the Empress. Her eyes seemed to pierce through the Empress, giving her the feeling of being exposed.

The Empress narrowed her eyes slightly, glanced at An Xue Tang and continued, "You are the girl that Ajing desperately wants to marry"

One sentence made everyone hear a different meaning. She deliberately emphasized "A Jing insisted on marrying," implying that as his mother, she did not agree to the marriage of An Xue Tang.

An Xuetang knew, today was just the first game between her and the Empress. Both wanted to win.

"At this moment, An Xue Tang smiled, "Mother Empress, I apologize for the amusement. But as a daughter-in-law, I have to admit that I am the woman Ajing 'insisted' on marrying. To be honest, I initially disagreed with marrying Ajing."

"......" Upon hearing this, the Empress's lips twitched. She truly didn't understand what the woman was trying to say. Before she could speak, An Xuetang let out a soft sigh and continued, explaining:

Although the daughter-in-law disagrees to marry Ajing, who could blame him After all, Ajing has been deeply captivated by his daughter-in-law's stunning beauty and charming personality. He simply can't live without her.

"Mother, think about it, he's a prince! He has to marry. As his daughter-in-law, I have no ability to resist, don't I Alas, in the end, it's all my fault for being too excellent. But after marrying A Jing, I also discovered his good qualities. Deep down, I haven't regretted it."

"!!!"

The Empress was so enraged by An Xue Tang's shameless words that she couldn't speak for a moment.

Her lips moved, but for a long time she couldn't think of what to say in rebuttal to An Xue Tang.

After all, An Xue Tang is indeed a beautiful person!

After all, she had lived so many years in her life, and she had never really seen such a beautiful woman.

Finally, she took a deep breath and darkened her face, pointing at the maid kneeling and weeping on the ground to change the subject. "So what's going on here This is Kunning Palace, not Beijiang Prince's Mansion, how can you run wild here"

Seeing that she had finally become serious, An Xuetang's lips curled into a slight smile as she slowly spoke, "Mother, is this person truly someone from your Kunning Palace My daughter-in-law doesn't think so."

The Empress frowned, wanting to ask An Xuetang what she meant, but before she could speak, An Xuetang continued, “Mother, wouldn’t it be best to confirm this maidservant’s identity After all, your daughter-in-law has always been skeptical that a prestigious place like Kunning Palace could harbor such a disrespectful and insolent maidservant.”

"If there really were such a maidservant in Kunning Palace, it would be hard not to doubt the ability of the mistress of Kunning Palace to teach her servants. After all...dogs can be foolish, but surely people should be more sensible"ess couldn't rest assured and personally went to find the physician, begging him to come and see your condition."After Qing Ya finished speaking, the imperial physician first glanced at the physician...
