Sitting in the small carriage on the way back to the Yanxi Palace, An Lingrong listened to the mocking voices of the eunuchs outside and shed tears silently.

Just at this moment, the sound of the Fengluan Chun'en car was heard outside. An Lingrong hesitated for a moment, lifted the curtain on the side and looked outside.

Yu Ying'er sat in the Fengluan Chun'en carriage and sang Kunqu opera all the way to the Yangxin Palace.

An Lingrong lowered the curtain, withdrew her hand, and her eyes darkened.

She will never get out of this situation...How can she hold her head up in the palace after such a great humiliation?

And at the moment An Lingrong lowered the curtain, Yu Ying'er also curled the corners of her lips, lifted the curtain and looked outside, then proudly withdrew her gaze.

Yu Ying'er hummed Kunqu opera, and the smile on her face never faded.

So what if they are of higher status than her? Isn't she still favored now? In this palace, whoever the emperor favors has a higher status.

The news that An Lingrong was sent out of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity spread throughout the harem the next day.

In the Yikun Palace, Concubine Hua and Concubine Li sat on one side, Concubine Cao and Yu Ying'er sat on the other side. Concubine Hua rolled her face with a jade wheel, tilted her head slightly, with a mocking smile on her face, and raised the corners of her lips: "I heard that Yu promised to sing Kunqu Opera? What can she sing?"

Yu Ying'er stood up and replied, "Dream in the Garden" was taught to me by my father.

"Can you sing 'Returning the Jade Intact to Zhao'?" When Concubine Hua said this, Lipin and Cao Guiren laughed out loud. Only Yu Ying'er stood there in a daze, not reacting to what Concubine Hua meant.

Concubine Cao paused her smile and looked at Yu Ying'er for a moment, as if she had thought of something, but she did not speak.

Yu Ying'er looked at Concubine Hua and Concubine Li, then at Concubine Cao, and then sat down herself.

It was only at this time that Cao Guiren continued Hua Fei's words: "This is the story of returning the jade intact to Zhao. Only if An agrees to sing it herself can it be sung movingly."

Yu Ying'er then understood what Concubine Hua meant and she also smiled with her hands covering her lips.

Hua Fei looked at the three people, paused in holding the jade wheel, and said to Yu Ying'er: "This jade wheel was sent to the palace by my brother from Qinghai. Use it to roll your face and you can stay young forever."

Following Concubine Hua's words, Lipin, Concubine Cao, and Yu Ying'er all focused their attention on the jade wheel in her hand. Concubine Hua paused for a moment before continuing, "I will give you this jade wheel today."

Yu Ying'er was delighted, she stood up and took it: "Thank you, Empress Hua!"

Concubine Li was not very happy and secretly rolled her eyes at Yu Ying'er, but considering Concubine Hua was there, she didn't really say anything to her.

After that day, Yu Ying'er acted even more arrogantly in the palace, often even singing loudly in the middle of the night, disturbing many people and even the empress dowager had some complaints.

Until that night, when Xia Dongchun was ready to go to bed, Qi Ling rushed in: "My lady, something big has happened!"

Xia Dongchun was just about to lie down when she heard this and sat up again. She had never seen Qi Ling lose her composure like this before: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Xia Dongchun was very worried that something had happened to Noble Borjigit, because she had just sent Qi Ling to deliver Dong'e Ejiao to Noble Borjigit. Now Qi Ling ran in so hurriedly, she couldn't help but worry that something had happened to Noble Borjigit.

"When I came back from Zhongcui Palace, I happened to see Yu Dancing ordering Xin Changzai to be locked up in the Ministry of Punishment!" Qi Ling didn't even have time to catch her breath before she told the whole story in one go.

"What did you say?" Xia Dongchun frowned, thinking there was something wrong with her ears. "Who did she put in the Ministry of Punishment?"

Qi Ling took a deep breath and said, "I have agreed to put Concubine Xin in the Ministry of Punishment!"

"What's going on?" With such excitement, Xia Dongchun couldn't sleep.

"I heard that it was because Concubine Xin's lantern accidentally caught fire and startled the imperial horse pulling the Phoenix Spring Grace Carriage, so I agreed and then I didn't want to."

Qi Ling saw Xia Dongchun suddenly perked up, and was stunned for a moment, then continued, "But you also know Xin Changzai's temper, she is very unforgiving with her mouth, so she argued with Yu Da Ying for a few words, and as a result, Yu Da Ying was so angry that he sent someone to lock Xin Changzai up in the Ministry of Punishment, and also ordered the chief of the Ministry of Punishment not to disturb the emperor and the queen!"

"No matter what, she has no right to lock Xin Changzai up in the Ministry of Punishment. What kind of place is the Ministry of Punishment? How can Xin Changzai go there?" Xia Dongchun pounded the quilt. "Yu is a little too arrogant."

"Who said it wasn't true? Concubine Chun was also startled and went to Suiyuxuan." Qi Ling said.

"It's such a lively scene, it's a pity that I didn't see it with my own eyes." Xia Dongchun seemed to have some regrets, "But..."

Before Xia Dongchun finished speaking, Qi Ling blinked and said, "But what, young master?"

"But tomorrow might be the most exciting moment," Xia Dongchun was happy just thinking about it, "This matter will definitely spread tomorrow, and then it will be the time for the Yu family to be in trouble. I can't wait to see it."

"Okay, my lady, no matter what, you should go to sleep first. You have to pay your respects to the Queen Mother early tomorrow morning." If Qi Ling had known that Xia Dongchun would be so excited after hearing this, she would have waited until tomorrow to tell her.

Although Xia Dongchun wanted to ask for more details, what Qi Ling said made sense. She didn't want to be late for the greetings tomorrow, so she had to suppress her curiosity and lay back down.

Unexpectedly, when he went to pay his respects to the Queen the next morning, the Queen was not in Jingren Palace.

Jiang Fuhai first invited all the concubines into the room and asked them to sit down. Then he had tea served and explained, "I believe that all the ladies and young ladies have heard about what happened last night. The Queen has gone to the Queen Mother to discuss this matter. So please wait for a moment."

After saying that, Jiang Fuhai stepped out first.

"I agree. What do you think Eunuch Jiang was referring to when he just talked about what happened last night?" Concubine Qi raised her eyebrows, obviously gloating.

Yu Ying'er was sitting at the very end. She wasn't too worried when she heard that. After all, the emperor doted on her now. Xin Changzai was still a Changzai after so many years, and she was old and ugly. How could she compare with her?

The emperor will definitely not blame her.

Concubine Hua glanced at Yu Ying'er, and knew what she was thinking from her expression, and a scornful smile appeared on her face.

This Yu is really confused. If Yu wasn't too stupid and could be used for her own benefit, she would not have let Yu depend on her.

Concubine Hua adjusted the pearls and jade on her head and just watched coldly without saying anything.

This matter is not important to her at all and is not worth her speaking about.

"This Concubine Xin is really pitiful, don't you think?" Seeing that Yu Ying'er didn't agree, Concubine Qi continued, "After all, she is a Concubine, but she was dragged and imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment by a concubine of lower rank than her. If you don't know, you would think that Concubine Yu has also started to help the Empress manage the six palaces."

When Concubine Hua heard the words "assisting in managing the six palaces", she raised her eyelids and said, "Concubine Qi, you are joking. Can everyone have the power to assist in managing the six palaces?"
