Since the Queen will plot against her no matter what choice she makes, why should she put herself in a difficult position and make others disgusted with her?

"Xia Da Ying really doesn't understand me. I have never been a gentle, kind, or merciful person. On the contrary, I have a bad temper and a stubborn personality. I can't stand any sand in my eyes, and I will never give up. If someone is good to me, I will repay them tenfold or a hundredfold. If someone is not good to me, I will also retaliate tenfold or a hundredfold."

"If you hadn't caused me any trouble when you first came in, when you were scolded by the Queen and even wanted to be kicked out of Fengyi Palace, I would naturally say a few good words for you, at least to give you a place to stay."

"But I just had a miscarriage and I'm still blind after recovering. So I have to walk slowly. You accused me of not having the Empress in my eyes and deliberately being late to pay respects, challenging the Empress's authority."

"If I speak up for you, or even take you in, then all the concubines in the palace will know that I have a good temper. If someone hits me on the left cheek, I will turn my right cheek up to them. Wouldn't that mean everyone can come and bully me?"

"Forget about me, but if Little Grape, Little Strawberry, and Little Pomelo are bullied, can you bear the consequences?"

Mingxia couldn't refute her words, so she could only attack her from other places.

"It's true that Concubine Yi has become more powerful now. She is more confident in what she says. She is no longer as cautious and careful as when she first entered the palace and dared not say too much."

Mingxia originally thought that Yun Zhining would be furious when she heard this, but she was not angry at all. Instead, she stared at him and smiled.

This smile made her feel terrified and confused.

"What does this mean, Concubine Yi?"

"Nothing, I just think you're ridiculous. You went through so much hardship and betrayed your master to become a concubine from a palace maid, but you don't know what to do for your position."

"What do you think the position of a concubine is?"

"Of course it is a great honor. Doesn't Concubine Yi feel the same way?"

Yun Zhining shook her head.

"It is a great honor to be a concubine, but behind the honor comes more responsibility."

"The concubines who have just entered the palace are not familiar with the people and environment in the palace. The queen should help them get familiar with the environment in the palace as soon as possible and remind the sisters of their tempers, so that they will not bump into the sisters, cause some conflicts, and cause trouble for the queen."

"In addition, concubines should also care about and be considerate of the emperor, be filial to the empress dowager, respect the empress, care for and tolerate concubines of lower positions, take good care of the princes and princesses, and set a good example for the harem. Only in this way can we live up to the trust of the emperor, the empress dowager, and the empress."

See, she knew that the more she talked, the more mistakes she made.

Isn't this exposing Yun Zhining's potential?

Mingxia immediately seized upon her words and fought back.

"Didn't Concubine Yi just say that a Concubine should be tolerant of concubines who have just entered the palace and are unfamiliar with the people and environment in the palace and are of lower status? Then why are you targeting me so aggressively, wishing that I would die in front of you immediately?"

Yun Zhining seemed to have heard a joke and burst out laughing immediately.

"A queen should indeed be tolerant of concubines who have just entered the palace and are unfamiliar with the people and environment in the palace, and concubines of lower ranks. But if those people disobey discipline and blindly provoke, they should naturally be taught a lesson and let others learn from them."

No matter how you put it, it didn't work. Mingxia was completely discouraged.

"Your Highness, Concubine Yi is really good at talking. You can even bring a dead person back to life with your words. I, your concubine, am willing to admit that you are better than her."

"Forget it. Summer insects don't talk about ice. Your mindset is like this. No matter how much I say to you, you won't understand. Let's not waste this time."

"Your Majesty, I have a headache. Could you please ask Miss Xin'er to ask Xia to leave?"

Concubine Zhou and others wanted to see the two of them quarreling, but Xin'er had already kicked them out. They had no choice but to wait for the next time Yun Zhining fought with someone else.

I just don't know who will be the next unlucky guy?

After so much verbal battle, Yun Zhining's mouth was dry. Qingzhu immediately took the teacup in his hand, put a bamboo tube in it, and handed it to Yun Zhining's mouth.

Yun Zhining was like a newborn baby. She closed her eyes, found the bamboo tube, and took a sip. The tea flowed into her mouth.

The queen turned her head away, unable to bear to look.

Jiang Cairen asked the question “curiously”.

"Empress Yi, what is your bamboo tube for?"

"In reply to Lady Jiang, our queen couldn't see, so every time she drank tea, she would get the tea on her clothes. Later, she thought of a way to make a bamboo tube and put it in the tea. As long as she sucked it gently, the tea would flow into her mouth through the bamboo tube, so that her clothes would not be wet."

"Wow, Concubine Yi is so smart. She can actually come up with such an idea. It's really amazing."

"I also want to drink water this way."

Jiang Cairen's original intention was to flatter Yun Zhining and ease the tense atmosphere, but Yun Zhining didn't appreciate it at all and directly confronted him.

"You are not blind, you don't need to use this method."

"Or do you want to become blind and enjoy this kind of treatment every day?"

"Then I'll exchange with you, okay?"

Jiang Cairen's face turned green instantly.

Feng Cairen naturally had to laugh at her mortal enemy for having lost face like that, otherwise she would have let down such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Hahaha, I told you to kiss up to a horse, but you kissed the donkey's hoof instead. You deserve it!"

Yun Zhining glared at her and said unhappily when she heard that.

"Mr. Feng means that I am a donkey?"

After these words were spoken, Feng Cairen instantly wilted and apologized repeatedly.

This time it was Jiang Cairen's turn to laugh at her.

It was a busy morning.

The noise made the queen's head throb.

"Alright, you guys are here to pay your respects to me, not to quarrel in front of me and cause me trouble. If you quarrel again, get out of here."

The Queen had spoken, and everyone fell silent.

Since no one was looking for trouble, Yun Zhining naturally wouldn't argue.

So the atmosphere in Fengyi Palace quickly returned to normal.

The Queen showed symbolic concern for the pregnant concubine, several princes and princesses, as well as Princess Lin'an and Kang'er who were temporarily living in Qingning Palace, and then told them to leave.

Yun Zhining had just stood up when she used her clairvoyance to see He Jieyu not far from her. In a flash, she suddenly thought of a possibility and her face changed instantly.

Qingzhu followed her gaze and immediately understood her concerns.

"Mom, be careful."

“I hope I can get through this stage.”

Otherwise, He Jieyu would definitely hate her.

The relationship between children is closely related to the relationship between adults. In the past, she had a good relationship with He Jieyu, so Little Grape often went to play with the second princess, Princess Jianping. If an accident happened today and her relationship with He Jieyu broke down, it would inevitably affect the relationship between Little Grape and Princess Jianping.

Currently, Princess Jianping is the only grown-up princess in the palace. If Grape loses this little friend, she will definitely be sad.

So, she must be careful.

Never fall into other people's traps.
