Concubine Li knew that Sun Manrou was usually overbearing, so she naturally did not dare to confront her head-on before.

But recently, Xie Yu asked Li Guiren to serve him for two days in a row to compete in writing. This honor made Li Guiren feel more confident.

When Sun Manrou was lecturing her, Li Guiren couldn't help but retort a few words.

Now, seeing Sun Manrou's angry look, she also felt a little scared.

But Li Guiren felt that Sun Manrou's words were really too much, and she didn't want to give in, so the two of them were in such a stalemate.

Li Guiren said, "Empress Chen, I had no idea that you were wearing the same Bixiayunjin skirt today. I just bumped into you by accident. I explained again and again that it was unintentional, but you insisted that I change in front of all the sisters. I agreed, but you still humiliated me. Even though I am of a low rank, I will never accept such humiliation."

As she said this, before anyone could react, Concubine Li let go of the maid's hand and was about to run into the pillar.

However, she did not intend to commit suicide. She just wanted to make a big deal out of the matter. It would be best if she reported it to the Emperor and asked him to make the decision for her. Otherwise, today, Concubine Chen would continue to be in trouble.

Everyone looked at Li Guiren who was about to hit the pillar, their faces changed, and they cried out in surprise.

"Quick, someone come and stop Lady Li!"

"Someone come quickly, quickly"

Even Sun Manrou was shocked. She didn't expect that Concubine Li, who had just been in favor for a few days, would be so bold as to hit her head against the pillar in public.

In a split second, the eunuch announced, "The Queen has arrived."

Hearing the eunuch's announcement, Concubine Li, who was about to bang her head against the pillar, slowed down her pace and was stopped by the quick-handed eunuch.

The next second, the originally chaotic scene immediately became quiet.

Sun Manrou didn't expect that Lin Junxue's arrival was so coincidental. She tidied up her palace dress, quickly stood up, and went to greet her with Concubine Yue and other concubines.

Lin Junxue walked up to him. She was wearing a light blue dress today, her slender waist was bound by a golden cloud belt, and she had a glazed jade hairpin in her hair. Her face was beautiful and noble, and she looked majestic without even getting angry.

A pair of phoenix eyes glanced at everyone calmly, and then looked at Li Guiren, who was crying and her clothes were a little messy, and then retracted her gaze.

"May the Queen be blessed with good health and happiness"

Lin Junxue said calmly, "Get up. I came at a bad time. I heard the noise from far away. What happened? Can someone tell me what's going on?"

After the concubines stood up, they looked at each other and dared not speak.

Concubine Li stood up and looked at Lin Junxue, her eyes still a little red.

"Niang Niang"

As soon as Li Guiren opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Sun Manrou impatiently.

"Empress, it's just a small matter. I was anxious just now and said a few words to Concubine Li. Who knew that Concubine Li was so angry and her words were a little unpleasant."

Of course Sun Manrou knew how harsh her words were, so she took the initiative to shut Li Guiren's mouth and prevent her from complaining.

Concubine Li's face turned pale, and Lin Junxue turned her gaze to Concubine Li again.

When everyone thought that Concubine Li would choose to swallow her anger, Concubine Li opened her mouth and told the whole story from beginning to end.

Everyone carefully observed Lin Junxue's face, and Sun Manrou was about to tear the handkerchief in her hand.

Then, Concubine Li kowtowed without being humble or arrogant.

"Empress, please make the decision for me."

No one present had expected that a minor noble would actually dare to go against the Concubine Chen.

Lin Junxue narrowed her eyes and looked at the stubborn Li Guiren.

In this harem, Concubine Li is the most principled woman she has ever seen.

Sun Manrou wanted to make some excuses

Lin Junxue looked at her and said, "Concubine Chen, you are a concubine and should be a role model for the other concubines in the harem, instead of embarrassing other concubines because of such a small matter. You should not go to the royal hunting next month. Stay in your own palace and cultivate your character."

When Sun Manrou heard that Lin Junxue didn't allow her to go hunting, her face changed.

Hunting in October has always been a royal custom, and half a month must be spent in the royal hunting grounds.

The emperor would bring his favored concubine with him. She has been accompanying him in the past few years and has never been absent.

Sun Manrou said with a sullen face, "Empress, I shouldn't have been angry with Concubine Li over such a small matter. However, you just don't want me to go hunting. Have you asked the Emperor?"

In response to Sun Manrou's blatant defiance, Lin Junxue smiled slightly and looked at him calmly.

"The Emperor has given me the decision on the hunting entourage list. Tomorrow, the harem entourage list will be released."

After saying that, Lin Junxue looked at Concubine Li and said, "Concubine Li, your dress is torn. Go back and change first."

Concubine Li looked at Lin Junxue with gratitude and bowed respectfully.

"Thank you, Queen, for your help."

Lin Junxue nodded slightly

The concubines hurriedly paid their respects and said, "Farewell, Queen."

Lin Junxue came and left quickly. After Lin Junxue left, Concubine Li also left with the help of the palace maids.

In the end, only a group of concubines were left, and the already furious Sun Manrou. After this incident, who could continue to watch the show?

Sun Manrou gritted her teeth and asked everyone to leave, leaving only Yuepin.

Concubine Yue looked at the furious Sun Manrou and whispered a few words in her ear.

Then, Sun Manrou's complexion visibly improved, and a gleam of determination flashed in her eyes.

Zhonghe Palace

After Lin Junxue took off her armor and washed her hands, Guyu brought her an ice bowl.

"My lady, the kitchen specially added the crushed peanuts you mentioned. Please try it. The weather is getting colder now, and this ice bowl will not last for a few days."

Lin Junxue picked up the spoon and took a bite. The first thing she tasted was the fragrance of peanuts and the coolness of the fruit mixed smoothie. She was very satisfied with the meal.

Qiao Xin said, "Your Majesty, why did you help that Concubine Li today? Concubine Chen always holds grudges. I'm afraid that if you make the decision for Concubine Li this time, she will hold a grudge against you again."

Lin Junxue put down the ice bowl, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and spoke softly

"This Li Guiren is smart. I am quite optimistic about her. It doesn't hurt to help her. Besides, the Concubine Chen has been relying on the victory of the Sun family recently to act arrogantly in the harem, which has caused dissatisfaction from the emperor. The emperor's intention two days ago was clearly that he wanted me, the queen, to come forward and give Concubine Chen a warning. If I give Concubine Chen a warning in the harem, then the Sun family in the previous dynasty, as long as they are not stupid, will know what I mean."

This time the three of them understood why the Queen made this trip. It turned out to be the Emperor's idea?

Lin Junxue looked at Danzhen and said, "Go to Taiwu Hall to invite the emperor and tell him that the kitchen made stewed mutton today. I want to invite the emperor to taste it and have a drink together."

During this period of time, she has been arranging other concubines to sleep with her, and now it is her turn to improve Xie Yu's favorability.
