The queen has four sons and six daughters, and she can call the wind and rain

"Since you know you shouldn't talk too much, then you should talk less in the future to avoid making more mistakes."

"Your Highness, I have taken note of your teachings."

Concubine Qi waved her hand, and Concubine Sun obediently stood up and returned to her seat. She kept her head down, but could always feel the mocking eyes coming from all directions. She lowered her head even lower, feeling extremely hateful in her heart. Her palms were pinched by her and were bloody.

Another quarter of an hour later, Imperial Concubine Zhou, the four concubines, and the third wife all arrived, and the Queen then walked out from the back hall.

"I, your concubines, pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and long life."

"No courtesy, please get up."

"Thank you, Queen."

After everyone was seated, the Queen turned her gaze to Yun Zhining.

"Are you the new concubine Yun?"

"Yes, I am from Yun Clan, and I pay my respects to the Empress. I wish the Empress endless happiness and a long life."

"She is indeed a pretty girl. No wonder the emperor likes her so much."

"It is the grace of the two queen dowagers and the queen that I can enter the palace to serve the emperor, so I am very grateful to the queen. If the queen has any instructions in the future, I will do my best and will never let the queen down."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, here comes another flatterer. Isn't the Queen annoyed?"

Being able to sit on the throne of the queen and maintain this position under the repeated attacks of two imperial concubines, three ladies, four concubines and nine imperial concubines, the queen is certainly no ordinary person. The seemingly divisive words of imperial concubine Zhou were nothing but drizzle in the ears of the queen and did not play the desired role at all.

The queen smiled gently.

"Noble Concubine Zhou, you think too much every day. Since Concubine Yun said that she is very grateful to me, then I will believe her. If we live in harmony, the emperor will not have any worries and can handle the affairs of the court with peace of mind."

"Do you want the sisters to have conflicts every day, even to the point of fighting, and to have to wait for the emperor to come out and mediate in order to calm down?"

Concubine Zhou was immediately unhappy when a big hat was put on her head.

"Is the Queen intentionally favoring Yun Changzai?"

"You are an old man in the palace, and Yun Changzai is just a new sister who is not familiar with everything in the palace. Naturally, I will be more partial to you."

"Just like when you first entered the palace, I was partial to you because of your young age, and didn't Concubine De and the others have any complaints?"

The Queen retorted to Concubine Zhou with just one sentence. Concubine Zhou pouted her lips, very unwilling, but she couldn't find a suitable reason for a while, so she could only glare at Yun Zhining fiercely.

Yun Zhining was not afraid at all.

Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. According to the rules, one should pay respects to Empress Dowager Xiaoyan and Empress Dowager Xiaoci. However, Empress Dowager Xiaoci secretly ate an ice drink when Empress Dowager Xiaoyan returned to her room last night, and she started to have stomachache in the middle of the night. So Empress Dowager Xiaoyan sent someone to inform the Queen early in the morning, telling her not to bring the concubines from the harem to pay respects to the two of them.

But despite this, the Queen was still not at ease, so she prepared to take the two Imperial Concubines, the Third Lady and the Fourth Concubine to the Xiaohe Palace to pay a visit to the two Empress Dowagers, lest she should be ignorant of the matter if the Emperor asked about it later, which would be too irresponsible.

The queen left with the high-ranking concubines, and the rest of the people also dispersed. Yun Zhining came out late because of her lower status. As soon as she came out, she saw Concubine Sun waiting for her under a tree not far away.

"Mrs. Yun has been in the spotlight today, but you seem to have forgotten the purpose of your entry into the palace, and that there is someone waiting for your rescue in the cold palace."

"Since the moment you entered the palace, Sister Fu has been looking forward to you helping her clear her name and saving her from the cold palace. But until now, let alone saving her, you have not even visited her in the cold palace. You are so cold-hearted!"

"What Lady Sun said is really ridiculous!"

"Since you think my sister was framed, why don't you try to save her?"

"Since you know all about the hardship in the cold palace, why don't you try to send her something to make her life more comfortable?"

"You, a noble of the sixth rank, dare not offend the Emperor and the Empress, but you let me, a maid of the seventh rank, rush forward in a hurry. Do you want to save my sister, or do you want to send me to the cold palace together so that the two sisters can reunite in the cold palace?"

Yun Zhining's words hit the nail on the head for Concubine Sun, and she instantly became furious.

"You can say that I don't like you, but how can you say that I'm cold to Sister Fu?"

"When the incident happened, I was beaten with thirty sticks and had a fever for three days and three nights in order to plead for Sister Fu. I almost died. After I recovered, I tried my best to win her favor, sent her gifts from time to time, and persuaded her to agree to let you enter the palace. Otherwise, you would not be qualified to stand here and talk to me now."

"You should kneel down and thank me. How can you be so rude to me?"

"Snapped!"

Yun Zhining accidentally broke her nail, and the nail hit her face, but she didn't get angry but laughed instead.

Great, so it was Concubine Sun who came up with the bad idea of ​​letting her enter the palace to save Yun Fulan!

Very good!

She was still wondering, Yun Fulan had always hated her since she was a child, so why did she go against her usual behavior this time and actually let her enter the palace, even if it was for the mission of saving her?

It turns out that all this was Concubine Sun's plan.

Presumably, in the previous life, it was Concubine Sun who persuaded Yun Fulan to get rid of her as soon as possible, so as to prevent her from rising in the future and stepping on Yun Fulan, making Yun Fulan feel extremely aggrieved.

Okay, Concubine Sun, just wait for me, I will definitely kill you and let you taste the frustration and resentment I felt in my previous life.

for sure!

Noticing that there was something wrong with the way Yun Zhining looked at her, Concubine Sun began to panic.

"How dare you look at me like that!"

"Hurry up and kneel down and apologize to me."

"What did Yun Changzai do to Noble Lady Sun to make you so angry?"

A voice came from behind. Yun Zhining turned around quickly and saw Dong Ling coming over with a few young eunuchs. They were holding a few trays in their hands. The trays were covered with red silk cloth. They must be gifts for the queen.

Yun Zhining shook her head and chuckled.

"You must have heard wrongly, Grandpa Sun was just telling me a passage from an opera, saying that the protagonist in the opera raised an oriole, which had a very clear chirping voice. Grandpa Sun, is that right?"

Concubine Sun wanted to refute, but she was worried that Dong Ling would complain to Qi Yejing after returning, which would affect her position in Qi Yejing's mind, so she could only swallow her anger.

"What Yun Changzai said is true."

"Are you here to look for the Empress, Eunuch? It's a pity that you are late. The Empress has just taken a few ladies to the Xiaohe Palace to pay respects to the two Empress Dowagers. I'm afraid you will have to wait here for a while."

"Lady Sun has misunderstood. I am not here to pay my respects to the Empress, but to visit Concubine Yun."

Concubine Sun was stunned for a moment.

"What are you looking for Yun Changzai for?"

"The Emperor has decreed that Yun Changzai has been meritorious in serving the Emperor, and is hereby conferred the title of noble lady, given the title of Ming, and awarded 100 taels of silver, 50 taels of gold, 10 pieces of silk and satin, and a box of jewelry and head ornaments. This is the Emperor's decree."
