"My queen, the sun has cleared up after the rain. Let's walk around outside. Didn't you say you were tired staying in the Cining Palace?"

"it is good."

Nanny Chen was taking a leisurely walk with Empress Dowager Xu. They happened to pass by the Palace of Tranquil Longevity and saw several eunuchs holding flower pots.

Some flowers that are not in season can actually be cultivated.

Queen Mother Xu asked with surprise in her eyes, "How come these flowers bloom in this season?"

"Queen Mother, that was specially cultivated by a talented person that Your Majesty found. The person is very famous among the people. I heard that he has the ability to cultivate flowers of other seasons."

"Now that the flowers have bloomed, Aunt Zeng Rou has asked them to move to the Yangxin Palace."

I heard that Zeng Rou suggested sending him to the Yangxin Palace.

Empress Dowager Xu immediately turned cold and snorted, "How can she be allowed to place such an abnormal flower in the Yangxin Palace?"

"Go and see."

No one expected that Empress Dowager Xu would come to the Yangxin Palace, and Zeng Rou, who was busy having people move flowers, was even less expectant.

When he saw Zeng Rou commanding the eunuchs in a haughty manner.

Queen Mother Xu stood quietly by the side without saying a word, her eyes turning to another figure.

Because Zeng Rou had her back to Empress Dowager Xu, she certainly didn't notice her.

But Su Xiaoqian saw it.

He lowered his head instantly after just one glance.

She was very good at observing people's expressions and could see that there was a hint of anger on Queen Mother Xu's face.

If I continue to stand there as punishment, I might really die.

Because she felt her head was dizzy and her whole body felt as if there were jacks hanging on it, making it difficult for her to raise her hands.

It would be better for me to give Queen Mother Xu a reason to reprimand her.

Su Xiaoqian collapsed to the ground, the porcelain bowl was smashed to pieces, and the water inside spilled all over the floor.

Zeng Rou turned around when she heard the noise and saw Su Xiaoqian lying on the ground with a pale face.

She showed no concern or anxiety, and just gave the orders in a calm and indifferent tone.

"Someone, bring a bowl of cold water and pour it over her to wake her up. She will have to stand for two more hours as punishment."

“What a majestic presence!”

Empress Dowager Xu could not help but speak up, "When the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king. Zeng Rou, when will it be your turn to manage the Yangxin Palace?"

Zeng Rou turned back abruptly, her face pale, and she quickly knelt on the ground to salute.

"This servant has seen the Queen Mother."

But Empress Dowager Xu did not prepare for her to get up, so Nanny Chen at the side asked her to bring a chair over.

"We have come a long way, Your Majesty, you should take a rest."

Queen Mother Xu sat down and stared at Zeng Rou.

"Not to mention that I am the emperor's biological mother, and there is now a virtuous concubine in the palace. No matter what, it is not your turn as a head maid to act as the master in the Yangxin Palace."

This is truly a heart-breaking statement.

Even though she was just a palace maid, she had grown up with Fu Rong, and the affection between the two of them had already surpassed everything.

Now, in front of the palace maids and eunuchs of the Yangxin Palace, Empress Dowager Xu didn't give herself any face at all.

Zeng Rou lowered her head to defend herself.

"Your Majesty likes these flowers. I think your Majesty is very busy, so why not let these flowers please your Majesty?"

It was just a trivial matter.

But Empress Dowager Xu hated Zeng Rou.

No matter what the other person does or says.

That's all wrong doing.

I heard Zeng Rou mentioned flowers.

Empress Dowager Xu sneered and said, "How can you just put these flowers that are not in season in the Yangxin Palace? You know that when things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy. Haven't you heard of this saying?"

"Or do you disregard the emperor's safety? Is this what you, the head maid, are capable of?"

"What a bastard."

It seemed that Queen Mother Xu was going to put the blame on herself.

Zeng Rou understood at this time that no matter what she said, it was just a pale excuse and Empress Dowager Xu would not listen to her.

It’s better to be submissive.

Let this matter pass.

"I know I was wrong, please calm down, Queen Mother."

Zeng Rou’s submissive attitude.

Empress Dowager Xu was not prepared to let her go.

Zeng Rou was really too eye-catching just now.

Thinking that her son listened to her more than to herself, Empress Dowager Xu could not swallow this anger.

She turned her gaze to Su Xiaoqian who was not far away.

At this time, Su Xiaoqian had really fainted.

Just now she was just holding on for fear that if she slacked off and let go, Zeng Rou would punish her more severely.

Zeng Rou has many tricks up her sleeve, and Su Xiaoqian has seen them with her own eyes.

But it came too late.

You might as well give it a try and relieve yourself of your energy for a while.

Empress Dowager Xu instructed Nanny Chen, "Why don't you find a doctor to come and take a look. This little girl looks like she's only in her teens."

"But some people are so cruel that they actually made the little girl stand in the scorching sun as punishment. They are both women, how can they be so mean?"

He was just about to point at Zeng Rou's nose and scold her for being cruel and ruthless.

Zeng Rou didn't want to be accused of being cruel and merciless.

She said to Empress Dowager Xu, "Su Xiaoqian made a mistake, I am just punishing her. It just rained, how can it be sunny now..."

But before she could finish her words.

Queen Mother Xu interrupted, "If it wasn't for the scorching sun, how could she have fainted? Since she made a mistake, why don't you tell me her mistake? What kind of mistake could be so serious that it would torture someone like this?"

It is really unacceptable to leave one's post without permission.

As long as the palace maids and eunuchs finish their assigned work, they can go to other places.

What's more, Zeng Rou revoked Su Xiaoqian's right to make and serve tea.

Zeng Rou tried to explain it but couldn't.

Seeing that the other party was unable to defend himself, Queen Mother Xu continued to ridicule him.

"Do you think she was pretending to faint? That's too cruel. I remember she was your child and she treated you with great respect."

"Zeng Rouai really misjudged you. I used to think you were a kind and well-behaved girl, but now, more than a decade has passed, and you have become so cruel and ruthless."

Empress Dowager Xu shook her head in disappointment, "I regret it now. I shouldn't have put you by the emperor's side."

At this time, the palace maid came with the imperial physician. After some treatment, they found that Su Xiaoqian had caught a cold and had an evil wind entering her body.

If treatment is not timely, it may be life-threatening.

Queen Mother Xu raised her eyebrows slightly.

I didn’t expect Zeng Rou to actually make the person sick.

Didn't you just get yourself caught in this little braid?

"Zeng Rou, do you have anything else to say?"

Faced with Empress Dowager Xu's questioning, Zeng Rou knew that she had no way to defend herself.

She could only lower her head and said calmly, "I have nothing to say."

"it is good."

Queen Mother Xu stood up and shook her handkerchief, "You have no mercy in your heart and treat others with evil. You must copy the Buddhist scriptures ten times every day and send them to my Cining Palace every day."

"By the way, I know your handwriting very well. Don't think of cheating. I will check every word one by one."

This was to prevent Zeng Rou from cheating and asking others to help her copy the Buddhist scriptures.

Ten times is quite a lot.

What's more, Zeng Rou is not very literate.

She came from a family that favored boys over girls, and was sold into the palace by her own father.

Zeng Rou's original name was not Zeng Rou, her original name was Daya.

Because she was a girl, her parents didn't even give her a surname, and usually just called her Daya.

She didn't even have her own name. When she was a child, her biological father sold her because her family was too poor.

Or they entered the palace by replacing someone else's identity. Some young ladies who wanted to enter the palace for selection were helpless because their parents could not bear to let them go, so they bought Zeng Rou to enter the palace as a maid instead.

From the original body's memory, we can know that Zeng Rou did not forget her relatives after becoming the queen.

He found some official positions for his elder brothers.

He also made his father a marquis and his mother a third-rank lady.

Although his brothers only hold official positions of the fourth or fifth rank, Fu Rong is a person who is easily influenced by others and cannot make sense of others.

By then, it would be nothing more than whispering in one ear and he would help Zeng Rou's family rise to higher positions.

How could such a poor family teach Zeng Rou to read?

However, Zeng Rou was lucky. After entering the palace, she was arranged to serve Fu Rong.

Under the influence of Fu Rong, my handwriting is pretty decent.

Empress Dowager Xu walked to the door and stopped.

"By the way, I will pass on an oral order here today. Su Xiaoqian must not be punished if she has done nothing wrong. Do not bully others behind my back."

As long as it makes Zeng Rou unhappy.

Empress Dowager Xu felt relieved.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are indeed natural enemies.

Queen Mother Xu discovered her enemy by intuition.

Watching Zeng Rou lower her head obediently.

"My slave understands."

Only then did he leave with Nanny Chen in satisfaction.

After Empress Dowager Xu left, Zeng Rou gritted her teeth and rushed to the room where Su Xiaoqian was resting.

At this time, Su Xiaoqian had already woken up, but at this moment the door was pushed open forcefully.

"Aunt Zeng Rou?"

"Snapped."

A slap landed on Su Xiaoqian's cheek, causing her eyes to turn red and tears to sparkle.

"what."

Zeng Rou's chest was heaving with anger. After she stood still, she asked Su Xiaoqian, "Did you set this up to harm me?"

My face must be swollen.

Originally, Su Xiaoqian felt a little guilty. Although she hated Zeng Rou, she had never thought of harming her.

Now Zeng Rou rushed in and slapped her, which made Su Xiaoqian cover her face with resentment.

She couldn't help the resentment in her eyes.

Zeng Rou sneered when she saw this.

"Well, this is really a good dog I raised, but one day he wants to bite his master."

"Su Xiaoqian, don't forget who asked you to stay in the Yangxin Palace."

I came to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity based on my own ability.

How did it become her achievement?

In order to get a good job, Su Xiaoqian tried her best to please the nanny who arranged the job.

The nanny accidentally dropped her hairpin into the water in the cold winter.

Su Xiaoqian jumped into the water regardless of everything and successfully found the dropped hairpin for the nanny.

This touched the old lady deeply.

Su Xiaoqian was specially arranged to serve in the imperial court.

At that time, Su Xiaoqian was dark, thin and not very impressive.

But she had a pair of eyes that were incredibly bright, and her life experience was similar to hers, so Zeng Rou kept her in the Yangxin Palace to serve her.

Facts have proved that Su Xiaoqian works very hard. She not only serves tea and water, but also tries to make Zeng Rou happy.

Su Xiaoqian clutched the quilt and cried secretly.

"Aunt, I didn't..."

"No?"

Zeng Rou said sarcastically, "You just resent me and think that I removed your job, but I just feel sorry for you because you're overworked. Isn't it good for you to take a break and get your monthly salary?"

"Or do you hold a grudge against me because I didn't help your brother?"

How can we speak some truths?

That sounds really nice.

If Su Xiaoqian hadn't been slapped in the face, she would have really believed it.

The reason why he didn't let me serve Fu Rong closely was because he was considerate of me and was just worried that I was too tired?

Su Xiaoqian shook her head vigorously.

"Aunt, I really don't hate you."

"enough."

Zeng Rou said with a cold face, "After seven days, you can leave on your own. I will arrange a new place for you."

The other party was determined to get rid of her. Su Xiaoqian lowered her head with resentment and hatred in her eyes.

"Please, aunt, please let me stay in the Yangxin Palace."

"Oh, now that I'm well, I'll pack up and get ready."

Listen to the sound of the door closing.

Su Xiaoqian raised her head and sneered, "Zeng Rou, if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."

Wait until she recovers.

The first thing to do is to find Azhi.

Inside Luhua Palace.

Ah Zhi was putting his hand into the water tank, gently stroking and playing with the koi inside.

Chen Yue, who was standing by, stepped forward and advised, "My lady, the water is cold, please stop playing."

"No, I want to enjoy the koi you gave me. Look how beautiful they are."

The golden and red koi swam happily, and sometimes came up to touch my fingertips with its lips.

At this time, Cuizhu replied from outside the door, "Your Majesty, Su Xiaoqian from the Yangxin Palace is here and is waiting for you in the main hall."

"Let her wait first."

Azhi curled her lips and withdrew her hand, allowing Chen Yue in front of her to help her wipe off the water stains.

Chen Yue was seen holding Azhi's little hand and wiping it carefully with a serious look on his face.

"Why did the Queen help Su Xiaoqian?"

"I like her."

But Chen Yue shook his head, "Your Majesty doesn't like her, I can feel it."

His eyes were clear and pure, like a pool of clear spring water that could reflect people's secrets.

Azhi raised her hand and gently stroked his eyebrows.

"Nothing can be hidden from Ayue. I don't want to sleep with you, and I don't want to be Fu Rong's queen. I want to push someone of my own up."

"I just want to be with you. If we can't be an ordinary couple, then let us stay together in the palace for the rest of our lives."

As the two of them got to know each other better, Chen Yue had already put Azhi first.

But it is not an easy thing to keep oneself out of trouble in the palace.

What's more, Azhi is the daughter of Master Yuan, and she entered the palace with the mission of having an heir.

Chen Yue was very worried about Azhi's safety.

Queen Mother Xu was not as kind as she appeared.

"Your Highness, this is the harem. Even if there is no fighting now, there is no guarantee that there will be no fighting in the future."

"You're pushing others to climb up today, but what if she doesn't return the favor and turns around to step on you?"

From beginning to end, Chen Yue had no possessiveness.

He felt that he was already incomplete, and being able to be a source of joy to Ah Zhi was already a great fortune for him.

He did not take away Azhi's virginity.

Can't destroy her.

I can't let her have any handle.

Azhi threw herself into the other's arms with an excited tone.

"Do you want me to sleep with him? You actually want to push me away?"

"no."

Unexpectedly, Ah Zhi was so insecure. Chen Yue held her waist and coaxed her softly, "I just want you to give birth to a child. If it's a princess, then your Majesty will also complete the task, and the Queen Mother will not blame you anymore."

"But if a prince is born..."

His eyes were filled with determination to win.

"Then I will let him sit on the supreme position. I will personally help you ascend the throne of the Ten Thousand Phoenixes."
