Du Qiaoyun got up early this morning. Usually, because she couldn't stand the cold in Xiliang City, she just got up in bed. On the contrary, there were no elders here to wait on her, except she and Xie Zhifeng.

Xie Zhifeng loves her. He never thinks she's lazy, and all his servants have to listen to her. If there are no ups and downs outside, Du Qiaoyun feels that today's life is very comfortable.

It's a pity that Mrs. Zhao's malice to her and Xie Zhifeng made her feel uneasy.

There is a big difference between a powerful person who has malice to others and a powerless person who has malice to others.

No matter how much people without power hate her, they can't cause her much trouble. However, people with power are different. Mrs. Zhao is not only a dignitary in her husband's family, but also in her mother's family. At least it's easy for those people she brought from her mother's family to find trouble for her and Xie Zhifeng.

Now the only advantage for her and Xie Zhifeng is that marshal Zhao and Zhao LAN are not united with Mrs. Zhao. As a result, Mrs. Zhao has some scruples about her actions, and it's not good to embarrass them in public. This gives Du Qiaoyun a chance to breathe.

Although Mrs. Zhao is more hostile to Xie Zhifeng, it is not easy for Mrs. Zhao to bypass Marshal Zhao and make trouble for Xie Zhifeng when others are in the army.

So Du Qiaoyun is not too worried about Xie Zhifeng, but her situation is worrying.

She is in the back house. The back house is Mrs. Zhao's world. If she wants to get along well with women, it depends on her face. Obviously, Mrs. Zhao won't give her any good face. Even if she does, it's fake.

Du Qiaoyun doesn't want to flatter Mrs. Zhao. She saves Zhao Lan's life several times. If she is someone else, even if she doesn't feel grateful to her, she won't get revenge.

Only this lady Zhao only remembers the grudge but not the kindness. But her grudge is inexplicable. Du Qiaoyun can't figure out where he has offended lady Zhao.

Not only on her side, but also on Xie Zhifeng's side, she has inquired about it. She still can't understand why Xie Zhifeng has offended Mrs. Zhao.

If you really don't understand Mrs. Zhao's idea, Du Qiaoyun gives up. Anyway, it's not only the Zhao family that has power and power in Xiliang city.

In addition to the Zhao family and the Du family, who had a lot of trouble with them, there was another family that was also very powerful, but the family was so low-key that many people ignored them.

Du Qiaoyun also heard from the cook that there was a eldest princess living in Xiliang City, but the place where she lived was not the princess mansion specially built for her, but the mansion of the late Zhongyi marquis.

Speaking of this eldest princess, she is also a poor man. She is the favorite daughter of the former Emperor, the elder sister of the first mother of the emperor, and the biological daughter of the Empress Dowager. It is reasonable to say that she will follow the boundless scenery when she ascends the throne, but this is not the case.

Although the emperor and empress had deep feelings at that time, the Empress Dowager's mother's family was humble at that time, and she was forced to take the second place because of the emperor's favor. The empress who had been scheduled had no choice but to be a royal concubine.

The imperial concubine has a grudge in her heart, so naturally she will not let go of the queen who robbed her position. Although the imperial concubine is a princess in name, she has a distinguished family and is deeply loved by the Empress Dowager at that time. Her status in the palace is much higher than that of the empress from humble origins.

The Queen's status is not stable, so are her children.

Today, if he was not the only son of the late emperor, he would not be able to sit on the throne of God, but even if he reluctantly sat on the throne of God, he would have to bow to the powerful officials headed by the imperial concubine's mother's family.
