The life swap begins with Consort Hua becoming Lady Qin.

Seeing this, Zhou Wanru simply waved her hand dismissively: "Laugh all you want! Oh dear, what kind of karma have I created to give birth to such a troublesome child?"

Langhua took the handkerchief from Yudie and wiped her eyes as she said, "Mother, don't worry. Second Brother is probably just waiting for the right time. When the time is right, he might even come to you for help."

Zhou Wanru said dismissively, "That's like the sun rising in the west."

She waved her hand and sighed, "I'm just too lazy to care about him anymore. I have you and your older brother, after all. Besides, you all share the surname Wang, what does it have to do with me, who shares the surname Zhou? When he gets old and no one takes care of him, it's his business if he suffers a miserable death. I guess I should just close my eyes then, and pretend it never happened! Tomorrow I'll send him back to Qingzhou, out of sight, out of mind!"

Langhua could only quickly coax, "Mother, calm down, calm down. Look at Ning'er, she still wants her maternal grandmother to hold her."

Jingning, nestled in her wet nurse's arms, waved her little hand at just the right moment.

Zhou Wanru turned her head and her anger immediately subsided by half. She quickly reached out and hugged the child again, saying, "Our little princess is so thoughtful."

-

At that very moment, Wang Shi'an, who was being gossiped about by a group of women, was sneaking out of the banquet at the front.

I want to find a quiet place to hide away.

All the officials and relatives in front wanted to say a few words to the Wang family, and he was also pulled along and made to drink a few cups of wine.

He can't not drink, but if he drinks any more, he'll definitely be unable to continue. He needs to hide and rest.

Before they had taken more than a few steps, they heard a crisp yet fierce curse coming from not far away.

"You shameless thief! Not only did you steal my chance to show myself before the Empress, but you also tried to secretly kill my rabbit! How can there be such a shameless person in the world? I'll fight you to the death today!"

Immediately following was another girl's crying and protesting voice: "I didn't! You're just jealous because you see I'm favored by the Empress, so you're slandering me. How cruel you are!"

"You shameless wretch! You dare to do it but not admit it; you're more despicable than a thief!"

Wang Shi'an paused, unable to resist following the sound to see what was going on.

Good guy.

It turned out to be two palace maids fighting.

No, to be precise, it was a palace maid who was hitting another one.

The girl who hit the other looked young and thin, but she was surprisingly strong and hit harder. She used almost all her strength with each blow, leaving the other palace maid, who looked older than her, completely helpless.

He cursed loudly and fluently.

...In a daze, Wang Shi'an thought he was seeing his mother when she was a child.

He immediately shook his head, banishing the terrible thought. Just as he was about to step forward to stop them, a woman dressed as a manager rushed over and separated the two of them.

"Bihan! What are you doing?"

Instructor Jia pulled away the little palace maid who was beating the most fiercely, his face extremely ugly.

The maid who had been beaten burst into tears, loudly complaining, "Teacher, I was just doing my work properly when she suddenly beat me! I didn't do anything!"

Zhang Bihua immediately shouted, "You're the one who wanted to kill my rabbit! You heartless wretch, you lie so easily! Didn't your parents give you even a shred of conscience! Even if you have no conscience, you should at least know shame—"

She had barely finished speaking when she received a blow to the face.

That's enough.

Instructor Jia said coldly, "Today is the princess's full moon celebration, a joyous occasion. Bringing you here to show yourselves was an opportunity in itself. If you didn't get to show yourselves, it's fate's will that you should behave yourselves, not cause trouble here!"

She stared at Zhang Bihua, her tone growing increasingly stern: "How many times have I told you? There are many rules in the palace. You're not allowed to utter those vulgar words you learned from the streets again!"

Zhang Bihua covered her face, looking at her in disbelief: "But teacher, you know, she secretly tore my skirt and even tried to harm my rabbit!"

"go back!"

Instructor Jia said coldly.

The little palace maid who had been beaten chuckled to herself behind Instructor Jia, and then gave Zhang Bihua a smug look.

Seeing this, Zhang Bihua felt even more aggrieved, and tears welled up in her eyes. She shouted, "None of you are good people!"

She turned and ran away crying.

Just as Wang Shi'an was about to sigh, he saw the little palace maid lower her head and rush straight towards him.

"Why?"

"Ouch!"

Wang Shi'an was knocked backward and fell directly to the ground. He felt a tingling pain in his chest and stomach, and his head was spinning.

What kind of Iron Head Kung Fu has this young lady practiced?

"The Second Imperial Brother-in-Law?!"

When Instructor Jia heard the commotion, he knew something was wrong and rushed over. When he saw that the young man who had been knocked to the ground by Zhang Bihua was actually the Empress's brother, he turned pale with fright.

Zhang Bihua also covered her head, dizzy as she climbed off Wang Shi'an.

Instructor Jia immediately grabbed her and repeatedly apologized: "Second Imperial Uncle, please forgive me. It is my fault for not teaching her properly. I will definitely discipline her properly when I get back. I beg you, Second Imperial Uncle, to be magnanimous and not hold a grudge against such a petty person."

Wang Shi'an slowly stood up, his chest and abdomen still aching slightly.

But how could a grown man like him really argue with such a young girl?

"It's alright, I'm fine." He then glanced at the young palace maid who had bumped into him. "I heard some commotion here, so I came to check. Is something wrong?"

Just as Instructor Jia was about to cover it up, Zhang Bihua suddenly raised her head and looked directly at him: "Are you the Empress's brother?"

"Bihan!"

Instructor Jia quickly shouted to stop them.

Zhang Bihua acted as if she hadn't heard him, and just stubbornly stared at Wang Shi'an.

Her eyes were very beautiful, with clear black and white, and the corners of her eyes still had a hint of red.

Despite her delicate and frail appearance, she has a stubborn look on her face.

Wang Shi'an raised an eyebrow, then suddenly smiled: "Yes, I'm her second brother. Do you have any grievances you want to tell me?"

Zhang Bihua lowered her head.

Instructor Jia felt a pang of anxiety, fearing she was talking nonsense.

Zhang Bihua remained silent for a moment, then simply said, "I have no grievances to express. I just want to ask you to pass on a message to Her Majesty. I heard that Her Majesty has gained a princess, and I am very happy for her. I specially made a sachet to wish her and the princess a long and healthy life. I have also prepared a dance."

Her voice lowered as she said this.

"But now none of that works..."

"But it's alright."

Her voice became firm again: "In the future, I will make it up to you in the future."

Wang Shi'an was taken aback, and his gaze towards her became much more serious: "What's your name?"

"Zhang Bihua".
