"Okay, if there is nothing else, let's go home today. I have to go and pay my respects to the Queen Mother." I am going to watch Zhen Huan make a fool of herself.

It feels good to be able to foretell the future. I knew from Fu Cha Langya's memory that the Queen Mother had arranged for Bai Ruiji, so I started to train Hai Lan when I was in the palace. It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but only one day to use it. Now, she is much more favored than Bai Ruiji in her previous life.

From Yonghe Palace to Cining Palace, Yixiu imagined how Zhen Huan felt at the moment and couldn't help wanting to laugh. The corners of her mouth kept rising until she reached the gate of Cining Palace before she could control herself.

"Your son pays his respects to the Empress Dowager, may the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health."

Zhen Huan glanced at her calmly, suspicion and hatred flashing in her eyes, and said in an extremely serious tone: "The emperor only favors one person, which is not conducive to the expansion of the family. I can't live in peace."

Yixiu calmly replied: "The emperor has few concubines, and the Manchu military flag has even fewer concubines, but the late emperor passed away not long ago, so it is not appropriate to hold a grand selection."

After a pause, he observed Zhen Huan's expression and continued, "I am also very worried about the issue of the royal heir. Although Concubine Hai was born in a low-class family, she is the only one among the concubines who is a Mongolian military banner. It would be great if she could give birth to a royal heir."

Manchu military flag. Upon hearing these three words, Zhen Huan became even more unhappy. She was originally just a Han military flag. The late emperor gave her the surname Nianhulu and let her carry the flag in order to welcome her back. Did the queen say this on purpose?

Zhen Huan thought again that the only people with military flags in the palace were the Queen, Ruyi, and the three imperial concubines, all of whom she disliked, and she didn't want to let any of them go.

Then he snorted coldly and said, "The Manchus and the Han are one family. No matter who is pregnant, they are all noble princes and princesses. The queen should persuade the emperor to treat everyone equally."

Yixiu: "I will follow the instructions of the Empress Dowager."

After the queen left, Zhen Huan said in a deep voice, "Fujia, do you think the queen did this on purpose?"

Fujia: "Empress Dowager, I don't think the Queen knows about this."

"Yeah, she shouldn't know..." Zhen Huan fell into deep thought. This queen was too weird.

Zhen Huan knew that Hongli favored Concubine Hai, and she also knew how the Queen handled it. At that time, she thought the Queen had the demeanor and bearing of a principal wife. But Concubine Hai had not been favored for many years, and the Queen protected her, asked someone to teach her musical instruments, and pushed her out to compete for favor as soon as the mourning period was over.

It was such a coincidence that her plan was disrupted again, and the person she arranged was forgotten as soon as he showed up in front of Hongli. Even if the queen wanted to arrange a favorite concubine to be by the emperor's side, the queen could promote concubines at any time.

It seemed that the Queen always had something to do with everything that made her unhappy. And after the dream about Meng Jingxian and Hongzhou, Zhen Huan became more and more certain that there was something strange about the Queen, and that she was targeting her.

After Yixiu left the Cining Palace, she went to the Qianqing Palace to find Hongli to report Zhen Huan. Your adoptive mother is keeping an eye on you and your harem.

Yixiu really enjoyed playing chess with Zhen Huan.

She used to be a queen in name only, while Zhen Huan was a concubine with a son, power and favored by the emperor. According to the rules, a concubine could not surpass the queen, but in fact, she was suppressed everywhere and was often angry to the point of having a headache.

Now, the positions are reversed. Zhen Huan is the Queen Mother who is feared by her adopted son, while she is the Queen who has everything she needs. It seems that she is suppressed by Zhen Huan, the mother-in-law, but in fact, Zhen Huan can't do anything to her. It's not right to ask the mother of a country to follow the rules.

In the Qianqing Palace, Yixiu told Hongli the truth about what Zhen Huan had taught her, and Hongli looked displeased.

He didn't like the Empress's meddling in his harem. They weren't his biological mother, so why should she care about which concubine he favored or what he did? And he also knew what the Empress said when the concubines paid their respects to her today.

He felt that what the queen said was right. The rules were set by the emperor, and the emperor was him. What he said and did were the rules. The queen understood the truth, but the queen mother did not. Hongli felt that the queen mother was too careless and wanted to control him.

Hongli: "I know about this matter. I will take care of it."

Yixiu: "Yes, I'll take my leave." The words had been spoken, and it was none of her business whether the emperor listened or not. But there was no rule that said the empress had to control the emperor.

Hongli: “Yeah.”
