"Ying Changzai is very well-informed. If you don't know, you would think her ears are growing on the palace wall."

Before Shen Zhishu could reply, another dignified and gentle woman, who was about the same age as the queen, spoke.

"I am only concerned about the Empress. The concubine has a leg injury, and I am afraid that I will not be able to take good care of the Empress even if I enter the palace."

The young noble lady Ying straightened her back and spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, but with a certain amount of flamboyance.

"In this case, Ying Changzai is in good health and has been free since entering the palace. She has not even seen the emperor, let alone served him in bed. Since she is so free and cares about the queen, why not stay in the Jiaomu Palace and serve the queen?"

The older concubine smiled and spoke.

Ying Changzai, who had a proud look on her face just now, immediately fell face, staring at the concubine who was mocking her, as if she wanted to scratch her to death.

"Empress Hui, Concubine Ying is still very young. She is not much different in age from my daughter-in-law. It is hard for her to stay in this deep palace. How can I let her come here to suffer? It is better for her to follow Concubine Yue. She can have some fun on weekdays."

The queen smiled slightly and spoke softly.

The person who was speaking for him was Concubine Hui? Was she the cousin of Arui's biological mother?

Shen Zhishu couldn't help but take a few more glances.

She was like the queen, dignified, beautiful and kind-looking.

Thanks to their few words, she also figured out the camps.

It seems that the Queen and Concubine Hui are of the same mind, and Concubine Ying is Concubine Yue's mouthpiece.

"There are only old people in our palace, and it's rare to have a fresh face like Ying Changzai, who is also pretty and lovely. Next time when Concubine Yue goes to see His Majesty, you might as well bring her with you. His Majesty will definitely be happy to see her."

The queen spoke calmly, as if she was considering His Majesty completely.

But isn't this an attempt to sow discord between Concubine Yue and Concubine Ying?

Shen Zhishu subconsciously looked at Concubine Yue's expression.

Her temperament and appearance are quite outstanding. It is hard not to notice her among all the concubines.

I always feel that when I met her today, she was always different from what I imagined.

"Your Majesty is thoughtful. I also have this idea and have mentioned it to Your Majesty. However, Your Majesty has not recovered yet and is busy with government affairs. He really can't spare the time to see the bride."

Concubine Yue raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at him with a hint of disdain, not taking these words seriously at all.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. However, I have just entered the palace and am not familiar with the palace rules. I am afraid of offending Your Majesty, so I dare not show my face in front of Your Majesty."

Ying Changzai also spoke up.

The two of them really were of the same mind and looked very harmonious.

Seeing that her provocation failed, the queen just smiled and said nothing more.

"I heard that Concubine Shen got injured when she fell off a horse?"

Ying Changzai didn't give up and brought the topic back to Shen Zhishu.

This time, no one interrupted, and even the queen looked at her.

"Yes, I am not good at riding a horse. The princess is kind and wants to teach me, but I am too stupid. Not only did I hurt myself, but I also made the prince and princess worry."

Even Ying Changzai knew about her falling off a horse, it seemed like she had done a lot of investigation.

The King of Qin did not make this matter public, and they really took some trouble.

"It's more than just worry, right? I heard that the Princess of Qin and the King of Qin had a big fight, and now she is still living in her parents' home. Concubine Shen's leg in exchange for the two of them tearing each other apart is really worth it."

Ying Chang smiled coldly. How could he openly mock her like this?

Shen Zhishu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ying Changzai in disbelief.

The atmosphere suddenly became cold.

Ying Chang felt uncomfortable being stared at by Shen Zhishu. When she was about to speak, her big eyes suddenly turned red, and then ice-like tears flowed out of her beautiful eyes.

Just by looking at her expression, everyone could see her grievance.

"I don't know where Concubine Ying heard the news from. I broke my leg, and the princess blamed herself very much. She also blamed the prince for not holding the horse properly. The two of them did quarrel because of me. The princess is kind-hearted and feels guilty about me, so she returned to the Marquis' Mansion to live for a few days. How can people outside spread such rumors? Aren't they thinking that I am a scheming and scheming woman?"

Shen Zhishu started to cry and pretended to wipe her tears with a handkerchief.

Although she was sobbing, every word she spoke was extremely clear.

As soon as he finished speaking, he choked up and became speechless.

Everyone present was stunned, and there was another moment of silence.

Ying Changzai also didn't expect that Concubine Shen was so crybaby. She started crying before she even said anything.

Is it worth shedding tears for such a small matter? If she were in the deep palace with this kind of personality, she would probably be bullied and cry to death, right?

"Mr. Ying, you are in the palace, where did you hear these rumors?"

Because of her crying, the queen's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"A palace maid who gossips like this should have her tongue plucked out, and she should no longer be allowed to serve Ying Chang. Who knows what evil thoughts this damned servant has when he spreads these rumors?"

Concubine Hui also joined in.

Everyone knows that Ying Changzai now lives with Concubine Yue, and the palace maids she uses are all assigned to her by Concubine Yue.

So it was clear that he wanted to use the servants to slap Concubine Yue in the face.

Ying Chang was at a loss for a moment and glanced at Concubine Yue in panic.

Then he quickly stood up and knelt on the ground.

"I don't know the rules. I just thought these words were interesting. I was just joking with Concubine Shen. I didn't take them seriously. Please forgive me, Queen."

"What do you mean, Ying Chang, do you think that I can't handle a trivial joke? This joke of yours really makes me feel wronged."

Shen Zhishu felt that the matter was not serious enough, and her eyes became even redder from crying.

Then the queen became even angrier.

"Empress Yue, are those palace servants in your palace too bold?"

She slammed the table, showing the dignity that a queen should have.

Concubine Yue had an unpleasant expression on her face and glanced coldly at the crying Shen Zhishu.

Forced by the rules, he stood up and saluted the queen.

"What the Queen is saying is that this is my dereliction of duty. When I return, I will find out who is gossiping and give an explanation to the Queen and Concubine Shen."

She didn't expect it to turn out like this. Concubine Shen cried at just the right moment.

"And Concubine Ying, you haven't learned the rules well after half a year in the palace. I'm afraid you haven't put your heart into it. From today on, don't come out again. Learn the rules well first."

The Queen said a few words and then confined Concubine Ying to her house.

He turned around and took Shen Zhishu's hand very gently.

"Relax, I know you are kindhearted. You are my daughter-in-law, and I will never let anyone bully you."

Shen Zhishu quickly cooperated and nodded with emotion, performing a grand drama of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law being of one mind in front of all the concubines.
