"Your Majesty, I am not against you appointing concubines, I just hope you can think twice."

Yinzhen was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I appreciate your concern, Madam. But I have already made up my mind, Madam, and I hope you will grant my blessing."

The Queen Mother's eyes flashed with anger, and her voice suddenly rose: "Your Majesty! Are you going to go against me?"

Yinzhen's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of coldness flashed in the depths of his eyes: "I dare not."

"Don't dare?" The Queen Mother sneered.

"If you really don't dare, you should listen to me. Establishing a concubine in the harem is a big deal, how can it be a joke? What's more, she was directly named Consort Chen, what a noble position!"

Yinzhen was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "My Queen Mother, I have made up my mind."

The Queen Mother slammed the table and said, "Good! Very good! You are increasingly disregarding me!"

Yinzhen raised his eyes, his gaze was like a torch: "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. I have always respected you, Your Majesty, but this matter concerns my personal feelings, so I hope Your Majesty will grant my wish."

"A private affair?" The Queen Mother sneered.

"You are the emperor, your words are law, how can you have a private affair? The selection of concubines in the harem is related to the safety of the country, how can you act recklessly because of your own selfish desires?"

A hint of complexity flashed across Yinzhen's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "I will remember your teachings, Madam. But I have already made up my mind about this matter, so please forgive me, Madam."

"My Queen Mother, Queen Chunyuan was a virtuous woman. I was careless and let her suffer injustice. But she is gone now. What is the point of pursuing the issue?"

Yinzhen's tone was calm, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

The Queen Mother was irritated by his nonchalant attitude.

"Your Majesty! What are you talking about? Chunyuan is your first wife and the glory of the Ulanara family. How can you be so light about her?"

Yinzhen raised his eyes, his gaze as cold as ice: "Madam, Queen Chunyuan has passed away for many years. I have also conferred a posthumous title on her and given her the honor she deserves. What else do you want from me?"

"You..." The Queen Mother was choked by him and was speechless.

She didn't expect that the emperor, who was usually respectful to her, would contradict her like this for a newly appointed concubine.

"Your Majesty, don't forget that Chunyuan is your queen, the daughter of Ulanara! Are you doing this to her?"

Yinzhen sneered: "Madam, I respect you as my elder, so I tolerate you again and again. But don't forget that I am the emperor of the Qing Dynasty!"

"You..." The Queen Mother was so angry that she was shaking all over.

"Are you trying to piss me off to death?"

Yinzhen looked at her, his eyes devoid of warmth: "My Queen Mother, I don't mean to anger you. I just want to tell you that I have the final say over my harem."

He paused, and continued, "As for Queen Chunyuan...I have never loved her."

The Queen Mother's eyes widened, unable to believe what she heard.

"You...what did you say?"

Yinzhen looked directly into the Queen Mother's eyes and said word by word: "I say, I have never loved Queen Chunyuan."

The Queen Mother felt dizzy and she held onto the table, trying to keep her balance.

"You...you actually said such a thing...are you worthy of Chun Yuan? Are you worthy of the Ulanara clan?"

Yinzhen looked at her coldly: "I have done my duty to the people of the world and to my ancestors. That's enough."

"Good... very good..." The Queen Mother laughed despite being so angry.

"The emperor has really grown up and become so independent that he doesn't even listen to me anymore."

Yinzhen didn't say anything else, just looked at her quietly.

The Queen Mother took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"Emperor, I know that you are in love with that Nianhulu clan now, but I hope you will remember that the women in the harem are just passing clouds. The only one who can truly accompany you throughout your life is your queen."

"Madam, I will choose my own queen." Yinzhen said calmly.

"You..." The Queen Mother wanted to say something but was interrupted by Yinzhen.

"Madam, it's getting late. You should go to bed early."

After Yinzhen finished speaking, he turned and left the Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother looked at his departing back, her eyes filled with disappointment and anger.

She knew that her relationship with her son had completely broken down.

The queen came out of the Cining Palace, her face as pale as paper.

She staggered a few steps, and if Jianqiu hadn't quickly caught her, she would have fallen to the ground.

"My queen, are you okay?" Jianqiu asked worriedly.

The queen did not answer, but just shook her head mechanically. Yinzhen's cold words kept echoing in her mind: "I have never loved Queen Chunyuan."

Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!

The Queen's heart was in turmoil. She knew Yinzhen too well and knew how deep his feelings for Chunyuan were. After the woman died, Yinzhen's eyes were filled with sadness and guilt, as if his soul had been taken away from him.

And now, he actually said that he had never loved Chunyuan?

"Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace." Jianqiu reminded in a low voice.

The queen came back to her senses and nodded. She had to calm down and think about why Yinzhen said such a thing. Was it because of the sudden appearance of Niuhulu Chuhua?

Back in Jingren Palace, the queen sat in front of the dressing table and looked at herself in the bronze mirror. Time had not left many traces on her face, but the fine lines at the corners of her eyes could not be concealed.

"Jianqiu, why do you think the emperor suddenly appointed a woman who had never appeared in public as Consort Chen?" asked the queen.

Jianqiu hesitated for a moment: "I am a stupid servant and I really can't guess what the emperor is thinking."

The queen sneered: "Your Majesty is trying to intimidate me."

She stood up and walked to the window, looking in the direction of Yongshou Palace in the distance. There lived the suddenly appeared Consort Chen. A woman who had never appeared in the palace, but was directly named Consort Chen.

"Go, prepare a gift for me. I want to visit the new Imperial Concubine Chen in person."

Jianqiu was startled: "My Lady, are you going to Yongshou Palace?"

"Why? As the mistress of the harem, what's wrong with me visiting the new concubines?" The queen turned around with a decent smile on her face, but a dangerous light flashed in her eyes.

"I will prepare it right away."

The queen's sedan chair slowly moved towards Yongshou Palace. Jianqiu sat beside her, holding a carefully prepared gift box in her hands, looking nervous.

"Your Majesty, are you really going to Yongshou Palace?" Jianqiu asked in a low voice.

The Queen raised her lips slightly, but there was no smile in her eyes: "As the head of the harem, I condescend to visit a noble concubine. What else can the Emperor say?"

Jianqiu stopped talking, but she was worried. She had followed the queen for many years and knew her master's character too well. On the surface, she was polite and courteous, but behind her was a murderous intention.

In front of the Yongshou Palace, a team of palace maids and eunuchs lined up in an orderly manner. When they saw the queen's carriage, they immediately knelt down and saluted.
