The next morning, when Qingqing had breakfast, she told Qin Liuse what had happened in the Cining Palace.

Not only Qin Huaijin's people went with him yesterday, but also Emperor Yongjia's people. This news spread throughout the harem overnight.

"I never thought that Miss Wei Lanxin, who usually looks so innocent and romantic, would be so arrogant." Qingqing said puzzledly.

Qin Liuse was not surprised at all. It was true that Wei Lanxin was delicate and cute, but it was also true that she regarded human life as worthless. There was no contradiction.

She was raised in pampered condition and was one of the most noble ladies in the capital. In the eyes of such people, most of them felt that the lives of servants were not lives at all, and sometimes were not even as valuable as a pet dog, who could be beaten and scolded at will.

If it weren’t for Emperor Yongjia, who sent the cook to the imperial kitchen on the spot last night, the cook would have been dead by the time Emperor Yongjia passed away.

"How could it be such a coincidence? It seems that Miss Wei was seen by the Emperor in the Empress Dowager's small kitchen." Qingqing wondered as she served pancakes to Qin Liuse.

"The small kitchen is usually in the backyard. Why would the emperor go to the Queen Mother's backyard?"

Qin Liuse felt that Qin Huaijin should have made a lot of efforts in this regard.

In the past two days, she had been stabbing Qin Huaijin in the chest from time to time, reminding her that Wei Lanxin was very much loved by the Queen Mother, just to sow discord and force her to take action.

Qin Huaijin and Wei Lanxin are both Queen Mother Dong's people. Qin Liuse knows that they are not in harmony with each other, so what he wants to do is to make them fight among themselves.

Speaking of which, Qin Huaijin spent more time with Empress Dowager Dong and Wei Lanxin, understood their personalities better, and knew where to start to break the impasse.

Qin Huaijin was afraid that someone else would compete with her for favor and climb over her head, so she acted particularly quickly this time.

Qin Liuse didn't expect Qin Huaijin to be able to fight her out of the palace, after all, she was the Queen Mother's person.

But this is a step-by-step process. First, Wei Lanxin will lose her composure, and then Qin Liuse can take action.

Qin Liuse originally thought that Wei Lanxin would be afraid of what happened last night, or at least behave herself. But who knew that she really didn't care.

That afternoon, Qin Liuse went to see the concubines with Concubine Xiao Defei and Li Chongyuan as usual, but unexpectedly, Wei Lanxin came again.

This was beyond Qin Liuse's expectations. Something just happened last night, but today she could be so nonchalant, as if nothing had happened.

This kind of psychological quality is indeed very suitable for being the woman of Emperor Yongjia and very suitable for being in the harem.

The weather was good today. Concubine Ning was tired after staying in the palace for a long time, so she was supported by her maid to go out for a walk. As she walked, she came to the front to watch the training of the concubines.

Concubine Ning Shu is now about five months old. Her belly has grown bigger. She walks slower and is a little lazier, but her temperament has not changed. She still likes to talk about things that are not related to the topic.

She sat there lazily, raised her eyelids, looked at Wei Lanxin and said, "You look more and more like the late queen, but your personality is nothing like hers."

Wei Lanxin felt a little frightened after hearing this. After what happened last night, the Empress Dowager scolded her afterwards. She was finally able to stay, so she had to restrain herself and behave herself.

"Lan Xin doesn't know what Madam Shufei means. The late queen is the late queen. How can a servant compare to her?"

Concubine Ning Shu lazily raised her beautiful eyes, "Yes, the late queen was not like that. I have been living under her for so many years, but I have never heard of her being jealous, nor have I ever heard of her asking people to kowtow to the point of bleeding."

Concubine Ning Shu was pregnant and had temper tantrums from time to time, so her temper seemed to be even worse than before.

Qin Liuse raised the corner of his mouth.

The temperature of the sunshine in late spring was just comfortable, and it felt warm on the body. Coupled with Concubine Ning Shu's words, Qin Liuse felt particularly comfortable.

Wei Lanxin was embarrassed by what she said, "What happened yesterday was actually a misunderstanding."

Before Wei Lanxin finished speaking, Concubine Ning Shu interrupted her and said, "Misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding is that? If there was a misunderstanding, would Concubine Qin be standing by and watching instead of begging for you?"

He didn't even plead for mercy. Either he had evil intentions, or he knew the situation was a foregone conclusion and there was no way to plead for mercy.

It's hard to say whether Concubine Ning Shu was really unintentional or had a plan, as she accidentally predicted everything.

Qin Huaijin did not help to plead for mercy. Firstly, he had selfish motives and wanted Wei Lanxin to be disliked by Emperor Yongjia. Secondly, under that situation, Emperor Yongjia's attitude was obvious and pleading for mercy was useless and might even affect himself.

Tomorrow is the day when the concubines will meet the emperor. Concubine Ning Shu came over not to upset Wei Lanxin, but to see the concubines.

Feeling happy after insulting someone, he began to look at the concubines who were learning etiquette in the yard.

"We have learned the rules for so many days, and tomorrow is the time to see the real thing. I don't know who will be our sister by then."

Concubine Ning Shu came to have some fun, looked around, left a word and left.

But Wei Lanxin was left there alone sulking. Every word Concubine Ning Shu had just said pierced her heart.

"You both have the surname Qin and are obviously sisters, but your hearts are so different." Wei Lanxin said to Qin Liuse, thinking to herself, judging from Concubine Qin's behavior these days, although the two of them were not on good terms, if it was Concubine Qin who was present last night, she would have said a few words for her.

As for Qin Huaijin, it is useless for him to speak since he is not favored. But if it were someone like Qin Liuse who is favored, maybe his words would be useful.

Wei Lanxin was generalizing and thought that all the masters were like her. They were nobles and would not care about the life of a servant at all.

Therefore, Wei Lanxin never understood why Emperor Yongjia was angry, nor did she understand where she went wrong.

Qin Liuse smiled and said modestly, "Miss Wei, you are embarrassing me. Your Majesty has his own opinions, and my words do not carry that kind of weight."

After all, it was Wei Lanxin's own fault, and no one's pleading would be of any use.

Wei Lanxin was apparently still dreaming of serving Emperor Yongjia for a lifetime.

Li Chongyuan pinched a piece of cake and put it into her mouth, smiling, "Since the emperor has punished you, Miss Wei, don't take it to heart. The emperor is a man of broad mind, and he will forget about it today."

Qin Liuse raised the corners of her lips and chatted with them calmly.

Concubine Xiao Defei next to her did not participate in this topic from beginning to end.

Qin Liuse finally understood how unique Concubine Xiao De's personality was. Although she didn't know why she and the emperor didn't look like a couple now, her personality made her understand why she didn't like to care about worldly affairs or compete for favors.

But today, Qin Liuse knew that Concubine Xiao De didn't care, not because she didn't like to meddle in other people's business.

But I don't like Wei Lanxin from the bottom of my heart.

Ever since she knew that Wei Lanxin might be related to the cause of death of the Queen and Concubine Xian, Concubine Xiao De came here every day. Although she talked to them, she didn't pay much attention to Wei Lanxin.

However, Wei Lanxin didn't notice any difference at all, because Concubine Xiao De had always been so cold.

Not only her, but even Li Chongyuan had gotten used to Concubine Xiao De's alienation.

This was the last day that Qin Liuse and Xiao Defei would stand guard together. They thought they were exhausted today and could go back to recuperate and wait for tomorrow's draft.

I have to get up early tomorrow.

Who knew that when he returned to Shu Yuexuan, he was caught by Qin Huaijin again.

Qin Huaijin found out that Wei Lanxin was still in the harem today. Instead of leaving the palace in shame, he started cursing as soon as he entered the house, "You are so shameless. Even after all this, you still won't go back?"

Qin Liuse was very tired after a busy day, so she went home and leaned on the beauty couch.

Wei Lanxin didn't want to go back, but the Empress Dowager Dong wouldn't let her go back. She asked someone to plead her case in front of Emperor Yongjia. Emperor Yongjia had to consider the face of his ministers, the girl, and the Empress Dowager, so he said that it would not happen again.

Wei Lanxin didn't leave again.

"Sure enough, shameless people are invincible in the world!" Qin Huaijin cursed, then turned around and boasted to Qin Liuse, "But the emperor will definitely not keep her as a concubine."

Qin Huaijin left her words half-said, deliberately keeping the audience in suspense, waiting for Qin Liuse to ask her.

But she didn't know that Qin Liuse was too lazy to cooperate with her. She had already guessed that Emperor Yongjia would not accept her, and she didn't know what Qin Huaijin was so surprised and showing off about.
