I just want to live a happy life

Then the queen woke up the newlyweds.

Concubine Hua turned her gaze to the two people squatting in the front and asked knowingly, "Who are Concubine Shen and Concubine Wan?"

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang turned sideways and saluted Concubine Hua: "I am the concubine Shen Meizhuang of Xianfu Palace/I am the constant of Suiyuxuan, Zhen Huan, to see Concubine Hua."

Seeing the two people's appearance, both of them were outstanding and beautiful, Concubine Hua's face lost a trace of smile, and she gritted her teeth and said: "The emperor really has a good eye for talent, each of them is so outstanding."

After that, he asked them both to get up.

An Lingrong watched Shen Meiyu stand up and complimented Concubine Hua, saying that she was a beauty beyond compare.

Since Shen Meizhuang had brought all her faults to light, Concubine Hua did not let them go. Faced with Concubine Hua's questions, Shen Meizhuang was speechless and could not answer. It was only with the help of Zhen Huan that she was able to resolve the issue.

Shen Meizhuang is the typical inexperienced and playful girl. There is no need for her to do anything unnecessary. Since she has said it, she should say it in a way that no one can find fault with it. Instead, she looks stupid when she does this.

An Lingrong really dislikes Shen Meizhuang.

Shen Meizhuang's family background was not low. Logically speaking, a woman from a prominent family should be very clear-headed, know what she wants to do, and be very rational. However, what she showed was not the case at all.

In the original plot, in order to find the murderer who drugged Zhen Huan, they designed to let Xiao Yunzi pretend to be a ghost to scare the murderer out, and the first thing they did was to find Noble Lady Fucha to try this method.

Noble Lady Fucha had no grudge against them at the time, so they could act without any guilt.

How could the original owner help them get rid of Yu Ying'er? That meant the original owner was vicious.

Since Shen Meizhuang can't speak, she should just shut up, take advantage of her, and then stand on the moral high ground to accuse her. What right does she have to do that?

Shen Meizhuang later became cold towards the emperor. If it weren't for the empress dowager protecting her, the emperor would have felt somewhat guilty towards her. With her arrogant appearance, how could she have lived a peaceful life in the harem?

She can never think of this happening in her life, An Lingrong will not let her have an easy time.

Hua Fei's words were blocked by Zhen Huan. The Queen felt secretly happy when she saw Hua Fei suffering a loss.

Nothing happened next, but An Lingrong didn't want it to end so soon.

She glanced at Concubine Qi, who had been drugged and made into a puppet.

Concubine Qi spoke before the Queen did, and said in surprise: "Some of the newcomers this time are too unruly."

Hua Fei became interested: "What does Qi Fei mean by this?"

Concubine Qi looked at the two people standing in front and said, "Our Qing Dynasty has always been Manchu-Mongolian first and Han second. How come Shen Guiren and Wan Changzai, who are from the Han Army Banner, are standing in the front?"

After hearing what she said, the concubines also reacted. After being pointed out so clearly by Concubine Qi, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang's faces were burning with shame and embarrassment.

The two of them quickly switched places with Noble Lady Fucha and Noble Lady Borjigit who were standing behind them, and then apologized to the Queen.

The queen smiled and said, "Shen Guiren and Wan Changzai have just arrived at the harem, so they probably don't understand some of the rules. They just need to correct them."

Just as the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, they heard Concubine Hua speak: "Empress, this is against the rules. Without rules, there will be no order. Since you have made a mistake, you must be punished."

The queen was a little embarrassed: "This is their first time, so forget it. If it happens again, it won't be too late to punish them."

Hua Fei refused to give in: "This won't do. I know that the Queen is kind and tolerant, but if I let her go, how can I convince the public? Since I help the Queen and have the responsibility to manage the harem, I will never allow anyone to break the rules. Only by punishing her will she learn her lesson."

The Queen sighed, as if she had lost the battle, but in fact she didn't want to let the two newcomers go: "Then how do you think Concubine Hua should punish Concubine Shen and Concubine Wan?"

Hua Fei smiled and said, "Just punish her to reflect on herself for three months, and she won't have to leave the palace during these three months."

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were panicking. In three months, the new lady who had entered the palace had already served in the emperor's bedchamber. They would definitely be left behind.

These two people have always been self-important and unwilling to lag behind others. How can they accept this?

Fortunately, there is the Queen to help them.

"This punishment is really too much, Concubine Hua. They are all new, and the Emperor will definitely ask about it. How about this, you two go back and copy the palace rules ten times as a punishment."

This time, Concubine Hua did not refute. Although she did not take the Queen seriously, she still cared about the Emperor and she did not want to make him unhappy.

Although Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang did not want to copy the palace rules, it was much better than reflecting for three months. Besides, they were the ones who made the mistake, so they did not dare to refute. Therefore, they bowed and said yes obediently.

Of course, Zhen Huan also remembered Concubine Qi because of this. If Concubine Qi hadn't been so nosy, this would never have happened.

After leaving Jingren Palace, Zhen Huan saw An Lingrong walking not far in front of her. Just as she was about to call her, she saw An Lingrong walking faster, as if she had no intention of talking to her at all.

Of course An Lingrong noticed that Zhen Huan wanted to talk to her, but she didn't want to get close to Zhen Huan. Besides, something was going to happen soon and she didn't want to get involved.

Seeing An Lingrong's back almost disappearing, Zhen Huan frowned and kept staring at An Lingrong's back.

Shen Meizhuang noticed it and said, "What's wrong, Huan'er?"

Zhen Huan said to Shen Meizhuang, "Sister Mei, I saw Ling Rong just now, but she looked like she didn't recognize us. She hasn't asked us to have a small gathering since she entered the palace."

Shen Meizhuang didn't like An Lingrong in the first place because she was of low birth and as timid as a mouse. Now after hearing what Huan'er said, she added a new label to An Lingrong: ungrateful person who repays kindness with enmity.

If it weren't for Huan'er, there was no way An Lingrong could have entered the palace with her condition.

"Forget it, Huan'er, since she is like this, then we should not care. This is her own decision. If she is schemed against in the future, it has nothing to do with us. This is her own choice."

Shen Meizhuang said this as if An Lingrong would be in trouble if she didn't follow them.

An Lingrong used the plant power to hear their conversation. She snorted coldly and wanted to see who would be unlucky first.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were talking as they walked out. Just as they were some distance away from Jingren Palace, they heard Xia Dongchun limping towards them, laughing.

Xia Dongchun is really a man of great strength. Even in this situation, she still insists on mocking Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang.

This time is different from the original plot. Both of them were punished this time, and their mentality is worse than in the original plot. After being provoked by Xia Dongchun, Zhen Huan immediately retorted sarcastically that she knew some poetry and books, while Xia Dongchun was brainless and did not understand for a while and even thought that Zhen Huan was praising her.

After seeing Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan laughing secretly, Xia Dongchun realized that the truth was not to praise her, so she raised her hand angrily and slapped Zhen Huan before she could react.
