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

It was another day for paying respects in Fengyi Palace. However, the focus of today's topic was no longer Concubine Wende, but Yun Zhining.

"Hey, have you heard? A maid died in Qingning Palace yesterday. According to gossip, the maid tried to seduce the emperor, but was discovered by Mingyuerong. Mingyuerong was furious and forced the emperor to execute the maid."

"Ah, I've heard about this, but I don't know if the maid succeeded in the end."

"He must have succeeded, otherwise why would Ming Yuerong be so angry and execute the palace maid?"

"I think so too."

"It's really funny. They were both palace maids, and they both did such shameless things, but Mingxia flew to the tree and became a phoenix, while the palace maid was executed. It's really the same person with different fates."

"Have you not seen what kind of person their master is?"

"Concubine Wende is kind and compassionate. She won't be too harsh even if a palace maid makes a mistake."

"But Ming Yuerong has always been a person who can't tolerate any injustice. She relied on the fact that she gave birth to the emperor's eldest princess and won the favor of Empress Dowager Xiaoyan and Empress Dowager Xiaoci, and became even more unscrupulous. She executed a palace maid just because she was not satisfied. She is really cruel!"

"With a mother like this, the eldest princess will not be a good person when she grows up."

As soon as Yun Zhining came in, she heard someone slandering Xiao Putao, and immediately rushed up and slapped her.

Yu Cairen's face was swollen.

Concubine Xian frowned slightly.

"Ming Yuerong, what are you doing?"

It would have been fine if she didn't say anything, but as soon as she spoke, Yun Zhining immediately directed all her criticism at her.

"The Empress and other empresses and wives have not arrived. The only high-ranking concubine at the scene is Consort Xian. Not only did Consort Xian not stop Yu Cairen and others, she also indulged them in maliciously slandering me and Little Grape."

"I am an adult and have a certain resistance to rumors. But Little Grape is only one year old, and they are using such vicious words to attack and curse Little Grape. If the Concubine is Little Grape's biological mother, she would probably be even angrier than I am."

Being accused by Yun Zhining in front of so many people, Concubine Xian was too embarrassed to save face.

"Yu Cairen really shouldn't have said such things, but she didn't mean it. Why did you have to be so aggressive and slap her in front of so many people? Do you not take me seriously, or do you not even take the Queen seriously?"

"I did not look down on the virtuous concubine, and I dare not disrespect the queen. I was just angry at the moment, so I attacked Yu Cairen."

"you,……"

"Noble Consort Zhou is here, Madam Lin is here, Madam Yin is here, Empress Shu is here, Empress Wende is here, and Empress Hui is here."

"The Queen has arrived."

Just when Concubine Xian was pissed off by Yun Zhining, the person with the highest rank in the harem came. Concubine Xian seemed to have found a life-saving straw and immediately knelt down in front of the Queen and cried.

"Please, Queen, make the decision for me."

"What happened? Why do you want me to make the decision for you?"

"Ming Yuerong slapped Yu Cairen in public. I wanted to stop her, but was scolded by Ming Yuerong. I felt really wronged!"

"Pfft!"

Yun Zhining sneered.

"Your Highness, your Majesty, has really mastered the art of writing in this way. By cutting off the beginning and the end, you have pushed all the responsibilities onto me, as if I were deliberately looking for trouble to embarrass Yu Cairen."

"Why didn't you tell the Queen why I bullied Yu Cairen instead of anyone else in the palace?"

"Xian Fei, tell me everything exactly as it happened, don't miss a single word!"

The queen doesn't get angry easily, but once she does, she can be very scary.

Concubine Xian felt guilty, so she naturally refused to tell the Queen the whole story. She could only stand there, and Concubine Yu dared not even breathe.

Just then, a man stood up and broke the deadlock.

"Reporting to Her Majesty, I arrived early today and felt a little sleepy, so I leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes to rest. I happened to hear the whole thing."

"Yesterday, a maid in Qingning Palace imitated Mingxia and wanted to climb onto the emperor's dragon bed, so as to fly to the treetops and become a phoenix. However, she was caught on the spot by Mingyuerong. Mingyuerong was furious and begged the emperor to execute the maid."

"Yu Cairen and others said that Yuerong was cruel and ruthless, and they were unwilling to spare the life of the palace maid. They also said that the eldest princess would definitely be as cruel and ruthless as Ming Yuerong when she grows up."

"Ming Yuerong happened to hear these words when she came in. In a rage, she slapped Yu Cairen. At that time, Concubine Xian had the highest rank in the palace, so she stepped forward to stop Ming Yuerong."

"Ming Yuerong questioned her, saying that when Yu Cairen and others cursed the eldest princess, she did not stand up to stop these remarks, but stood up to stop her when she attacked Yu Cairen. Her behavior was unfair, and the virtuous concubine was angry."

"Your Majesty the Queen will know what happens next."

Although Concubine Cui's position was not as high as Concubine Xian's, she was not trying to curry favor with Yun Zhining. Besides, she had always been a loner, and no one had ever heard that Yun Zhining had met her before, so it was impossible for the two of them to collude against Concubine Xian.

The virtuous concubine did not expect that Concubine Cui was just resting with her eyes closed and was not asleep. She heard everything that had just happened. She looked very embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

After finding out what happened, the queen still didn't give her face.

"Xianfei, I and the others were not here just now. As the person with the highest position, you not only failed to handle this matter for me, but also caused such a big mess. How can I trust you in the future?"

"I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Queen."

"The person you should apologize to is not me, but Ming Yuerong."

The Queen forced her to apologize to Yun Zhining in front of so many people. Concubine Xian was very unwilling, but she did not dare to go against the Queen in public. She could only direct all her anger and hatred towards Yun Zhining. Once she got the chance, she would make Yun Zhining pay a heavy price.

"I'm sorry, Sister Ming. I was wrong for not stopping them in time, which caused some harm to you and Little Grape."

"I apologize to you. I hope you can forgive me this time. I promise you that I will never make such a mistake again."

"May I?"
