"You little dog slave! It's just a small matter like using ice, but you have to have the Imperial Concubine personally to explain it to you? Don't you look at the harem, how many ladies dare to be compared with my Imperial Concubine? Why are you delaying like this? I think you don't want to live anymore." Fan'er thought that as long as he brought up the Imperial Concubine, he could easily solve the matter and go back to claim the reward. However, he didn't expect that there was no answer after such a long delay, and his already impatient mood became even more unhappy.

Since when did these servants in the Imperial Household Department become so bold?

You have to know that in the past, these servants in the Imperial Household Department all licked the Weiyang Palace, and put the Weiyang Palace first in everything, for fear of offending the Weiyang Palace.

Even though a fight broke out in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Faner was not afraid at all and his attitude became more and more arrogant.

"This is the fate of offending the Imperial Concubine. If you are sensible, you should quickly bring a few buckets of ice and follow me to the Weiyang Palace to beg for mercy. Our Imperial Concubine is kind-hearted and may be able to spare your life for the sake of the ice."

The servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs looked at Fan'er's arrogant behavior and dared not say anything.

Nanny Zhang only heard the noise later. When she rushed over, she saw Faner raising his hand again, ready to attack Eunuch Li.

"It is only right for Miss Fan'er to protect her master wholeheartedly, but the Imperial Household Department is the Imperial Household Department, and the Weiyang Palace is the Weiyang Palace. Although the Imperial Household Department is full of servants and cannot be as noble as the Imperial Concubine, the servants in the Imperial Household Department once served the late emperor and the late empress. Miss Fan'er should be more restrained, otherwise if she makes trouble in front of His Majesty, we will not be able to look good."

After all, Nanny Zhang was an elder in the palace, and she immediately gave Fan'er an advantage as soon as she opened her mouth.

"It turned out to be Aunt Zhang."

Fan'er naturally recognized the identity of the person in front of him. He restrained his anger a little and gave a perfunctory greeting.

"I have heard roughly what happened just now, and I know why Miss Faner came here. It's just about the withholding of ice cubes from Weiyang Palace... The people below are also following orders. Miss Faner's constant temper may not solve any problems."

Nanny Zhang moved her mouth, looked at Fan'er, and spoke calmly. No matter how senior she was, she would not dare to make trouble for the imperial concubine. Although the queen had instructed this matter, the queen was a good person, and she would not expose the queen unless it was absolutely necessary.

"On orders?"

Fan'er narrowed his eyes shrewdly: "According to what Aunt Zhang said, you are just following orders, then who is behind this, allowing you to dare to go against Weiyang Palace so openly?"

Faner quickly understood the key point of the matter. Looking at Nanny Zhang's attitude, he knew that this matter must have been instructed by someone else.

Hearing the test in Fan'er's words, Nanny Zhang's expression was calm, without any sign of panic. She just looked at Fan'er in front of her calmly with a faint smile on her lips.

Faner narrowed his eyes again and asked tentatively: "Is it the Queen?"

Nanny Zhang was not at all surprised that Fan'er could guess that it was the Queen's instruction.

He just said, "To be honest, the distribution of ice in Weiyang Palace was indeed withheld by the Empress. If Miss Fan'er is dissatisfied, she can go to the Empress to ask for clarification. We are also servants, and Miss Fan'er does not need to rely on her master's favor to embarrass us servants."

"Really the Queen?"

Fan'er's face was filled with shock. She had never expected that the new queen would be so bold.

The Queen had just entered the palace and she had a dispute with the servants she brought in. She first dealt with the people closest to her. It is obvious that she was not a smart person. Now she even dared to provoke the Imperial Concubine. Does she want to die?

Did she really think that she could do whatever she wanted just because she was the queen, and suppress the imperial concubine?

"Of course, I dare not talk nonsense about such things. If Miss Faner doesn't believe it, you can go to Kunning Palace to ask the Queen Mother for clarification. We are just following the Queen Mother's instructions." "So that's how it is."

Fan'er raised a half-smile at the corner of her mouth, her expression full of amusement. She glanced up and down at Aunt Zhang and said, "If that's the case, I'll go back and report the truth to my Imperial Concubine first."

Nanny Zhang didn't say anything, just nodded and watched Fan'er leave the Imperial Household Department in a swagger.

Seeing Faner leave, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, except for Nanny Zhang, who stood there for a long time before she let out a long sigh.

The imperial concubine's family is powerful and she is deeply favored by the emperor in the palace. Even the empress dowager can do nothing about her.

The Queen has just entered the palace, and it will only benefit her to confront the Imperial Concubine head-on.

Although she said that in Kunning Palace yesterday, the power of the imperial concubine is not something that anyone can shake.

Fan'er, just a servant in Weiyang Palace, could come to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and speak so arrogantly. Isn't it because the person behind her is Concubine Xia?

Weiyang Palace at this time

"How did things go?"

Seeing Fan'er coming in from outside, Xia Wanning leaned lazily on the chaise longue, glanced at Fan'er casually, and fiddled with her freshly painted nails.

The bright red color, paired with this pair of slender and white hands, is simply beautiful.

"Reporting to the Imperial Concubine, I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and they refused to give the ice cubes. They insisted that it was the Empress's will and they had no choice but to follow her orders."

I get angry when I mention this fan.

What does it mean to be queen?

How long has the Queen been in the palace?

How long has her imperial concubine been in the palace?

"Originally, these servants in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were hiding something from me, and were unwilling to tell me who was behind them causing trouble for Weiyang Palace. In the end, I insisted on getting an explanation from them, so I attacked them and brought you up. When they realized they couldn't hide it any longer, they reluctantly said it was the Queen who was behind it."

As he spoke, Faner became more and more angry. He raised his eyelids to glance at Xia Wanning's reaction, and seeing that she didn't show much expression, he spoke even more unscrupulously.

"Your Highness, the Queen really doesn't take you seriously. The ice in Weiyang Palace has been distributed this way before, and the Emperor acquiesced to it. Even the Queen Mother didn't care. How could she change it just after entering the palace?"

"If your Majesty lets the Queen set this precedent and thinks that we in Weiyang Palace are easy to bully, then we in Weiyang Palace will have to act according to their wishes in the future? This is absolutely not allowed, your Majesty!"

"Oh?"

There was still no expression on Xia Wanning's face. She just sat up slightly, but the look in her eyes grew colder.

"My lady..."
