The naive concubine is only interested in being a bad person. Your Majesty, please change your favor

Jiang Wange knew that Concubine Chen was speaking for her, but she kept in mind her "favored concubine persona" and knelt on the ground, not begging for mercy from the Queen Mother because of Concubine Chen's words.

"Sister Jiang, why are you standing there? Why don't you admit your mistake to the Queen Mother and beg for forgiveness?" Concubine Chen kept winking at Jiang Wange.

Jiang Wange glanced at Concubine Chen calmly and said gratefully:

"I thank the Empress Chenfei for speaking for me, but I don't know what I did wrong, so I can't admit my mistake to the Queen Mother."

Jiang Wange's back was straight, making him stand out among the crowd.

The Concubine Chen was dumbfounded. She didn't expect Jiang Wange to say something that would make the Empress Dowager even angrier. He was truly a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger!

"Good, it's really good! Someone, drag her away to me, give her twenty strokes of the cane, teach her a lesson, and let her know the consequences of disobeying me!"

The Queen Mother was furious and called the guards to take Jiang Wange away for torture.

"I am a nobleman appointed by His Majesty himself. If you dare to touch me, His Majesty will not let you go!"

Jiang Wange stood up directly, avoiding the guards' touch, and stopped them sternly.

She couldn't persuade the Queen Mother, but couldn't she scare the two guards?

Sure enough, when the guard heard what Jiang Wange said, he hesitated.

Although the Queen Mother is the highest-ranking woman in the harem, His Majesty is still the one who makes the decision. If this noble lady is His Majesty's favorite and gets hurt, the ones who will be punished in the end will only be those of them who are on duty.

"What are you still standing there for? Are you scared by a mere noble? I am the Queen Mother! If you don't do as I say, I will beat you both to death!"

"Yes, I will obey the Queen Mother's order!"

After the Queen Mother said this, the guards had no more hesitation and pressed Jiang Wange's shoulders to go out and execute him.

"stop--"

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound. Xiahou Xuan arrived at Ci'an Palace in time and stopped the guards' actions.

"Your Majesty, you are finally here. I almost never saw you again..."

As soon as Jiang Wange saw Xiahou Xuan, she immediately pounced on him, pretending to be weak and aggrieved.

Xiahou Xuan's eyes showed distress. He hugged the person tightly and coaxed him softly:

"Be good, don't be afraid, I'm coming."

When others saw how intimate Xiahou Xuan was with Jiang Wange, they were all dumbfounded.

Your Majesty has never shown such sympathy for them. Jiang Wange really makes people jealous!

The Queen Mother's eyes were already spitting out flames, and she would not stop until Jiang Wange was burned to death!

"Xuan'er, what are you doing? Are you trying to cause chaos in the harem by protecting this vixen?" The Queen Mother said angrily to Jiang Wange who was hiding in Xiahou Xuan's arms.

"Queen Dowager, Wanwan is just a weak woman. She came from Qingzhou to the palace to serve me. It is only natural for me to protect her. But Queen Dowager, why did you punish Wanwan like this on the first day she came to pay her respects to you?"

Xiahou Xuan looked at the Queen Mother with a puzzled expression, and his words were full of defense for Jiang Wange.

"Your Majesty, it was Concubine Jiang who offended the Queen Mother first, so the Queen Mother punished her. If Your Majesty wants to protect Concubine Jiang, I'm afraid it will make the sisters in the harem feel disappointed!"

Concubine Shu immediately stood up to speak for the Queen Mother, and kept glancing at Jiang Wange with great resentment.

"Oh? Wanwan, how did you offend the Queen Mother? Tell me, I will hear it. If you really offended the Queen Mother and committed treason, I will not help you."

Xiahou Xuan looked at Jiang Wange, whose eyes were red in his arms, and asked softly, but Jiang Wange saw a warning in Xiahou Xuan's eyes.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me. I have never offended the Queen Mother. It was the Queen Mother who immediately accused me of seducing the monarch and said that I was a foxy woman. I was really wronged... Then the Queen Mother asked me if I pleaded guilty. I really didn't know what crime I had committed, so I didn't admit it. The Queen Mother wanted to punish me with twenty strokes of the cane. I... I'd rather die!"

Jiang Wange was crying so hard that her tears were streaming out of her eyes. I felt sorry for her.

Xiahou Xuan looked at Jiang Wange like this and thought:

This Concubine Jiang cries beautifully...

"Your Majesty~~"

Jiang Wange performed for most of the day, and seeing that Xiahou Xuan was distracted, she called him softly to remind him that it was his turn to perform next.

"Ahem, Queen Mother, is what Wanwan said true?"

"How did I wrongly accuse her? Xuan'er, you only favored her a few times, and she was promoted to a noble lady. This is too much pampering for her. I helped you teach her the rules, Xuan'er, what's wrong with that?"

The Queen Mother was so angry at this moment, she didn't expect that this little bitch would dare to complain in front of His Majesty, as if she was the Queen Mother dead!

"Your Majesty, what the Queen Mother said is absolutely right. This Concubine Jiang is too spoiled. She has only served you in bed a few times, but she doesn't take the Queen Mother seriously. If you continue to pamper her, won't she climb over all the sisters in the harem in the future?"

The Concubine Shu continued to exaggerate and would never let His Majesty get away with it!

"Your Majesty, Sister Jiang is not as arrogant as Concubine Shu said. She is just young and does not understand the few rules of the palace. Just let the nanny teach her again. There is no need to punish her with twenty sticks. Sister Jiang has delicate skin and tender flesh. If she is beaten with twenty sticks, her skin will be torn and her flesh will be broken. Not only Your Majesty will feel sorry for her, but even I will feel sorry for her."

The Concubine Chen stepped forward at the right time and pleaded for Jiang Wange, neither denying that she had done anything wrong nor exempting her from punishment.

Xiahou Xuan nodded seriously, then pulled Jiang Wange out of his arms and gently rebuked:

"What the Concubine Chen said makes sense. You are too unruly. I cannot spoil you too much. So, in the next few days, you go to the Concubine Chen's palace to learn the rules. When you have learned them well, you can come to serve me again."

"Your Majesty~~"

"Wan Wan, don't make trouble."

"I understand. I will definitely follow the example of Sister Chenfei and learn the rules."

The matter was raised high and then put down lightly, which made the Queen Mother very angry!

Originally, the Queen Mother wanted to continue to rage, but was stopped by Nanny Sun, who signaled her not to confront His Majesty head-on. Only then did the Queen Mother give up.

Xiahou Xuan left first, and the empress dowager waved her sleeves, signaling the concubines to disperse.

Zhengui glanced at Jiang Wange secretly, his eyes full of resentment and resentment.

Concubine Chen took on the task of teaching Jiang Wange the rules. After coming out of the Empress Dowager's palace, she took Jiang Wange to Feiyun Palace.

"Xianyun, go prepare some tea and pastries. Does my sister have any special preferences?" Concubine Chen looked at Jiang Wange and asked.

"Sister Chen Fei, you don't have to be polite. I am not picky."

Hearing this, Concubine Chen nodded and signaled Xianyun to prepare pastries according to her usual preferences.

"The rest of you are waiting outside the house. No one is needed inside for the time being."

After the tea and snacks were served, Concubine Chen dismissed the palace servants.

Yu Jin looked at Jiang Wange uneasily, and after receiving Jiang Wange's eye signal, she walked out.
