Chapter 4
Chapter 4 — The Twin Sisters Pretend to Be My Queen
The butler was so scared that he shrank his neck and quietly retreated to his original position, not daring to move any further. The mother took a deep breath, then looked at Ly Cong Cong with a smile on the outside but without a smile on the inside and said:
“Today I really bothered Mr. Ly and had to make a personal trip.”
"Knowing that the Duke is busy with hundreds of thousands of tasks, I won't keep the Duke to stay in the palace to eat anymore."
How could Cong Ly not hear the meaning of wanting to see off guests in his mother's words? His face immediately darkened. Before coming here, he thought this was a lucrative job. Unexpectedly, in the end, not only did he not receive even a single coin of reward, but he was also cleverly kicked out of the palace. He let out a cold, almost imperceptible sound. Then turned around and left. I took one look at my mother, waves of coldness continuously rising in my heart. Ly Cong Cong is the great eunuch who serves next to the Queen Mother. Normally, anyone who meets him doesn't have to show some respect. His mother didn't spare him any face and frankly offended him. The purpose is just to make it difficult for me to take even half a step after entering the palace. While my mother was busy comforting Tan Kieu Kieu, I also quietly left the lobby.
“Cong Cong Ly, please wait a moment.”
“Mother's attitude just now was really bad.”
"I hope you have a generous heart, don't take it to heart."
As I spoke, I stuffed the previously prepared bag of money into the other person's hand. In that bag of money is almost all the money I have accumulated over the years. Ly Cong Cong gently considered the bag of money in his hand. His expression, which was still gloomy, immediately softened a lot.
"Second Miss Qin is indeed smart and clever, her qualities are like orchids and like lilies."
“No wonder the Queen Mother and the Emperor both love her so much.”
I smiled slightly. Then he moved a little closer to Ly Cong Cong, lowered his voice and said:
"Sister and I have identical appearances, it is very difficult for outsiders to distinguish."
“If after entering the palace, someone mistakes me for my sister, I'm afraid it won't be good.”
"So, I hope you must clearly tell the Queen Mother and the Emperor the difference between me and your sister..."
Cong Ly immediately bowed down and bowed to me.
“Thank you for reminding me, miss.”
"My lord will definitely report this matter fully to the Queen Mother and the Emperor."
After seeing off Cong Ly, he left the palace. We return to the lobby again. Haven't walked through the door yet. I heard Tan Kieu Kieu's sobbing coming from inside.
“Mother!”
“Didn't you say that the position of Queen would definitely be yours?”
"So why is the person now appointed Queen Tan Tran Tran?"
"She's already the Queen, won't she be able to ride on your head in the future?"
“I would rather die!”
“I don't care!”
“You must be Queen!”
“If there really is no other way…”
“Then let me enter the palace instead!”
“After all, you and he have the same appearance!”
Mother knew that arbitrarily swapping the person who was appointed Queen was a serious crime that could cause the entire family to be confiscated and the clan destroyed. Therefore, she did not immediately agree with the proposal that Tan Kieu Kieu had just made. However, her expression had clearly softened a lot. Just by looking at it, you can tell that there were indeed some fluctuations in her heart. Qin Seeing this, Kieu Kieu immediately took the opportunity to continue convincing:
“Mother, do you really think that with Qin Zhen Zhen's personality, she is suitable to be Queen?”
"At that time, if he comes into the palace and makes fun of him and loses face, the person who will lose face will be our Prime Minister's palace!"
"Didn't people also say that you were born with the destiny of the Phoenix, while Tan Tran Tran was a natural disaster star?"
“If he really enters the palace, who knows, it will bring disaster to our whole family!”
“Mother, you love Kieu Kieu the most.”
“Someone help Kieu Kieu this time!”
The mother gently raised her hand to caress Tan Kieu Kieu's face, her eyes filled with pampering and love.
“Kieu Kieu, mother has already said it.”
“No one is allowed to get in your way.”
“First, mother will go to the palace to see the Queen Mother.”
“If it's true… in the end it still doesn't work…”
“Then I will replace Tan Tran Tran's identity and enter the palace.”
“It's just... doing so would make our Kieu Kieu suffer a disadvantage.”
As soon as she heard that, Tan Kieu Kieu immediately threw herself into her mother's arms, stopped crying and smiled.
