Xiao Ting originally wanted to avoid her, but now was out of the question. She could only move forward obediently and pay her respects to the empress dowager.

"Get up, the banquet is about to start. If you don't sit down, where are you going?"

The empress dowager's voice was still not very warm.

Xiao Ting cursed in her heart. "Old witch, what does it have to do with you?"

Even though he replied, "I'm returning to the Esteemed Empress Dowager, I'll go and see how my preparations are."

The empress dowager frowned slightly and continued to instruct, "Then go. Imperial Consort Xiao has been in a bad mood recently, so you can tell her again and again. Be more attentive later and don't make a joke out of it."

Xiao Ting obediently nodded her head.

She knew that because of Tao Zhi's corpse suddenly appearing in the lake of hearts, Imperial Concubine Yi was scared out of her wits. Now that the Emperor's birthday was coming and she also had the dance that she had to perform every year, she had to go no matter what.

The empress dowager was worried that she would make a fool of herself and ruin the imperial family's reputation.

Xiao Ting thought: As for the role of a mother-in-law, the only thing that she will always care about is her son. Whether it's his face or his body, as for her daughter-in-law, hehe, as long as her son is fine, it doesn't matter even if he falls to his death due to exhaustion.

Xiao Ting lowered her eyebrows and was about to leave when she suddenly heard the voice of the Princess Yue, and asked crisply: "Royal Grandmother,? Month hasn't been in the imperial city for a long time, may I ask who this sister is?"

The empress dowager smiled as she patted Princess Yue's hands, "Her name is Xiao Ting, she is your new wife to the Ninth Prince."

New?

Also, Na?

Wasn't he just taking a wife?

Xiao Ting indicated that this old woman really did not have a good impression of her.

Princess Yue had a surprised expression on her face. After a while, she opened her mouth and said: "So she is the famous Xiao Guowei from the famous empire, Xiao Ting!"

Her eyes turned slightly, carrying disdain.

Xiao Ting expressed, was her reputation really that big? And she was famous throughout the Empire?

Why weren't there any five countries and ten lands s?

"Oh right, Royal Grandmother, doesn't Ninth Prince have a Chief Consort?"

The empress dowager patiently explained, "Your Nine Kings' Auntie is a scum. He passed away four years ago."

After she finished speaking, she introduced the Princess Yue to Xiao Ting, "This is Prince Rui's Palace."

Xiao Ting's mouth twitched, she took a few deep breaths, then smiled at? Month.

I'll endure it.

But the empress dowager wasn't satisfied. Her face darkened as she asked, "What kind of expression is this, without any rules?"

The empress had always looked at Xiao Ting unfavorably, but with the empress dowager in front of them, how could she have the right to speak?

Seeing this, he added fuel to the fire, "Mother, Ninth Princess has always been like this, don't lower yourself to her level."

That's right, Royal Grandmother is a lively and lively person, she definitely knows very little about our royal family's rules. Furthermore, she is not a scholar from a distinguished family, so you shouldn't ask for too much from her.

Princess Yue and Empress spoke one sentence at a time. No matter how Xiao Ting thought about it, she could not reach a good conclusion.

One said that she had no rules, and the other called her six girls, which meant that he did not recognize her as the Ninth Princess at all, let alone call her Nine Kings' Auntie.

She blinked at the two women, winking at her and babbling nonstop.

Xiao Ting accepted them all.

I'll endure it again.

Unfortunately, there was no end in sight.

Thus, she suddenly rolled her eyes, looked behind them, and said, "Your majesty."

The girls subconsciously turned their heads, only to find that there was nothing behind them. Only the wind lamps could be seen on the quiet road.

When she turned back again, the only thing she saw was the palace maid who had been kneeling there for a long time and was guiding Xiao Ting.

No trace of Xiao Ting could be seen.

And at this time, Xiao Ting had long since avoided the path when they had turned around. This group of women truly hated them to the extreme, it seemed like it would be better for them not to come to the Imperial Palace in the future.

And that Princess Ghost, she was also going against her.

She couldn't afford to offend him, but she couldn't avoid him either.

It didn't seem like there was any enmity between them?

Could the original owner have hit her?

Xiao Ting thought as she walked, but she couldn't think of a reason. There was no other way, she had only inherited part of the original owner's memories.

She shook her head and suddenly found that it was pitch black in front of her, blocking her path.

Xiao Ting was dumbstruck, what, what kind of place was this?

It was a dilapidated palace, the collapsed palace gate, and the pitch-black palace entrance. No matter how one looked at it, it was rather creepy.

She looked at the time and saw that since she avoided the empress dowager and the others, she had not seen anyone else.

So, was this a cold palace or some sort of forbidden palace?

As he walked forward, he could roughly see under the dim moonlight. This palace should have been in ruins for more than ten years, and weeds were everywhere. There were even two rabbits jumping around, making the place look extremely lively.

Xiao Ting was speechless, this was the palace!

Why would such a scene appear in the most respected place in the imperial capital?

However, she did not find anything along the way. She did not understand where she was nor did she meet anyone.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to turn around, she felt something wrap around her foot.

Lowering his head to dig through the weeds, he saw that there was actually a person beneath his feet.

She was the one who stepped on his long hair. The moment she turned around, she actually entangled herself with the nearby weeds, wrapping them around her ankle.

Xiao Ting squatted down and nudged him, but there was no response.

"Could it be a dead person?"

She turned the person over, only to discover that it was actually a young woman.

He was dozing with both eyes closed as if he was in deep sleep. There was still a faint breath between his nostrils and his arms and legs were undamaged. It was just that his night attire was too eye-catching.

Just as Xiao Ting was about to take a look at it, the young woman suddenly opened her eyes, and a cold light immediately radiated from her.

Even Xiao Ting, who had seen countless evil spirits, was shocked.

"I'll go, you scared me to death."

The blade of grass was more than three feet tall, and the moment Xiao Ting stepped back, she tripped and fell onto the ground.

The young girl was about eighteen or nineteen years old. Her long hair was tied up high and her eyes were sharp with killing intent.

"Who are you? Why is it here? "

Xiao Ting didn't even have time to react, a cold sword with flickering cold light was already on her neck. The ice-cold feeling made goosebumps all over her body.

"Hey beauty, what are you doing? This is the palace! "

Xiao Ting felt that the woman in front of him was very friendly. Although she was cold, there was a confused look on her face.

She then asked, "Could it be that you are also a transcender?"

The young woman looked at her condescendingly without saying a word.

Xiao Ting thought that she was the same as her. Ignoring the cold sword s on her neck, she crawled up from under the sword that looked cold just now and smiled: "I'm telling you, I'm also from Earth. Oh right, I'm from Earth, where did you come from?"

"We can't be fellow villagers, right? And I'm Chinese, what about you? "

"Oh right, you probably don't understand this world yet. Let me tell you, this is in the feudal dynasty, and there is such a creature as the emperor. Moreover, this palace has several female yakshas, not only do you want people to kneel down and worship them, you even have to behead them. It's very dangerous …"

"Hmph." Before Xiao Ting could finish her lengthy speech, she was interrupted. The woman snorted coldly and said: "Pretending to be crazy and play dumb, is that enough?"

"Eh." Xiao Ting was speechless, she looked at her with suspicion for a long while before she managed to react, "If you are not a Transcender, then who are you?"

"Aiya, it's over, it's all over. Now we're out in the open."

How could she be so stupid as to reveal her secret when she met someone? This proved once again that this world was dangerous.

The world said, "I don't have to take the blame for this. You are the one who is stupid."

Xiao Ting was still muttering in her heart when she heard a "pu tong" sound from behind him. Just a moment ago, she looked like a peerless expert and fainted again.

Xiao Ting was dumbstruck, what kind of situation was this?

"Could it be that the heavens want me to kill everyone?" Xiao Ting looked at the sky, at the edge of which the crescent moon was flickering, "How is this possible? Is it okay if I never kill anyone? "

Thus, a certain woman who had once again fallen into the Idiot Channel squatted down and pushed the woman again. Seeing that she really had no reaction, she clenched her teeth and carried her on her back.

What surprised Xiao Ting was that after walking for an unknown amount of time, she had actually reached the entrance of Yao Chi Palace. When the palace maid standing guard outside saw that it was her, she immediately ran over to pay her respects.

"Ninth Princess, Imperial Concubine has gone to the Heart Lake to attend the banquet."

The palace maid then looked at the lady that Xiao Ting was tugging on, "Who is she? Do you need this servant's help? "

Xiao Ting nodded her head again and again, making up nonsense out of her mouth, and said: "This is a servant of the I, her body is unwell and she fainted. Hurry and help her in."

"Yes, Ninth Princess."

The palace maid immediately called for people to come here, bringing the lady in, then placing her in side yard.

"I remembers that Aunty has a mama who understands the art of 'Qi Huang'. Call her over quickly." Xiao Ting had been to the Yao Chi Palace a few times, so she was very familiar with the palace maids here.

Ever since the Imperial Consort Xiao was poisoned, the emperor had sent a palace mama over to serve him in close proximity, afraid that someone would harm the Imperial Consort Xiao again.

This was the only special honor in the entire imperial harem.

Although this mama was sent by the empress, she was extremely good to the Imperial Consort Xiao, and was thus very kind to Xiao Ting.

"Momo, may I trouble you to take a look? How is my maid?"

Xiao Ting muttered in her heart, there was something wrong with her brain, would this person die?

If she was going to die, she might as well throw it out now.

After a while, she told Xiao Ting that she was alright, it was just that she had fainted. She would wake up after resting for two hours.

Only then did Xiao Ting relax. Seeing that the mama was staring at the sheepskin scroll in the woman's hand, Xiao Ting walked over and pulled it out from her hands before stuffing it into her own sleeve.

The mama was so smart that she didn't ask anymore.

"Ninth Princess, please attend His Majesty's birthday feast first. Your maids and servants will watch."

"Aiya, it's bad, I is about to rush over, thank you!" Only now did Xiao Ting remember her reason for entering the palace, and immediately ran out with her.

The palace maid who had just spoken with her reminded her repeatedly, "Ninth Princess, you're heading in the wrong direction."

Xiao Ting stopped in her tracks, turned around, and said: "Eh? Could it be here? "

palace maid: So, how exactly did you find the Yao Chi Palace just now?

"This servant will lead you there!"

"That would be even better, quick, quick."
