The fourth princess wanted to hit Amber, but the fifth princess protected her and stopped her from hitting her. Others didn't dare to take action, so the two princesses had to do it themselves.

And then, it was what she just saw.

Little Grape: ...

If this matter only involved the Fourth Princess and the Fifth Princess, she could handle it alone, but since it involved Concubine An and Concubine Feng, she could only take it back and ask her mother to handle it.

"You two, and all the palace maids and eunuchs involved, follow me back to Qingning Palace."

The Fourth Princess opened her mouth to object, but Little Putao gave her a look and she dared not speak anymore. She could only give a look to the palace maid following behind her.

Little Grape sneered when he saw this.

"Fourth sister, there is no need to rush to send someone back to tell Concubine An. Once we arrive at Qingning Palace, someone will go to Changyuan Palace to inform Concubine An."

The fourth princess' shoulders slumped instantly.

In Qingning Palace, Yun Zhining was waiting for Xiao Pu Tao to bring her meals from the imperial kitchen when she heard a noisy sound coming from outside. She frowned slightly, and Xiao Kui went out to see.

After a while, he came in with a group of people.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine. May Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine be blessed with good health and happiness."

"No need to be polite, just stand up and sit down."

"Why are you sitting? Both of you stand still!"

When Little Grape gets angry, she is exactly like Qi Yejing, so the Fourth Princess and the Fifth Princess can only stand there obediently, not daring to move.

Yun Zhining said with a smile upon seeing this.

"Little kids, what trouble have you gotten into to make Big Bean angry?"

"without,……"

"Nothing!"

Little Grape glared at the Fourth Princess and told Yun Zhining everything that had just happened.

Yun Zhining's face instantly darkened after hearing this.

"Xiao Kui, send someone to invite Concubine An and Concubine Feng immediately."

"You don't need to worry about this, mother. When I came in just now, I had already sent people to Changyuan Palace and Yuhua Palace to ask Concubine An and Concubine Feng to come. You should think about how to deal with this matter."

The situations of Concubine An and Zhou are still different.

Although Zhou did not complete the enthronement ceremony, Qi Yejing had already issued an edict to enthrone her as queen, and her name was also written on the jade book. It was set in stone, and even her death would not change this matter.

But Qi Yejing never explicitly stated that he wanted to make Concubine An the queen, nor did he issue an edict to change Concubine An's status in the imperial edict. Everything was just an ambiguous statement from Yun Zhining.

So now Concubine An is still just Concubine An. Even if Yun Zhining temporarily gives half of the power in the harem to Concubine An, Concubine An still has to bow down to Yun Zhining, and when she sees Yun Zhining, she still has to shout "Long live the Imperial Noble Concubine". So if Yun Zhining wants to hold her accountable, no one has any reason to stop her, including Qi Yejing and the two empresses dowagers.

Changyuan Palace and Yuhua Palace were not far from Qingning Palace. Concubine An and Concubine Feng arrived quickly and knelt down to apologize as soon as they came in.

Yun Zhining glanced at Concubine An and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"You know everything that happened just now?"

Concubine An glared at the Fourth Princess, then turned to look at Yun Zhining, feeling very troubled.

"The Imperial Concubine has entrusted me with the power of the harem, and I dare not neglect it. The Fourth Princess pestered me and asked me to play with her. I really had no choice but to let the palace maid take her to the imperial kitchen to get lunch for me."

"Who would have thought that she could mess up such a small matter."

"I really am..."

"In the eyes of Concubine An, this is just a small matter, but in the eyes of those people in the imperial kitchen, it is a big deal."

"Everyone in the palace knows that Concubine An is about to become the Queen of Daye. If those people in the Imperial Kitchen don't try to curry favor with you, the Queen who will soon rule the country, do they want to curry favor with me, a little concubine who has lost some of her power in the palace and is not valued by the Imperial Concubine?"

Concubine Hao has a prince, so the people in the imperial kitchen dare not neglect her. Although Concubine Zhou has no children, she has been with the Imperial Noble Concubine through all the ups and downs, and can be said to be the apple of the Imperial Noble Concubine's eye. In addition, she comes from a royal merchant family and is very generous. Unless one is crazy, one would not offend her.

Only she, although she had children, was a princess. Although she followed the Imperial Noble Concubine, she was not as close to her as Concubine Zhou. She was neither good nor bad, and was just a half-hearted person.

Moreover, the Fourth Princess had a grudge against her daughter, so she could understand why the people in the imperial kitchen attacked her.

However, they should never do anything to Amber and her daughter.

That was her bottom line.

Her bottom line has been touched. Even if she dies, she must bite off a piece of flesh from Concubine An.

Concubine An was not stupid either. Seeing that every word she said was directed at her, she immediately explained.

"Sister Feng has misunderstood. I have never targeted you, nor have I instructed the people in the imperial kitchen to trip you up."

"Don't worry, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter and give you an explanation."

"No need, I think that Manager Xu is very problematic."

"I beg Her Majesty to interrogate Manager Xu and find out who instructed him to withhold my lunch and use it to give to Her Majesty An."

Concubine An frowned when she heard the voice.

"Sister Feng, I know I was negligent in this matter, but I really didn't instruct Manager Xu to deduct your lunch!"

"There have been a lot of things going on in the court recently. Let's not bother the emperor with such a small matter. What do you think?"

Concubine Feng had been at odds with Concubine An from the very beginning, and now her children had added to her hatred, so she would not give her any face at all.

"Food is the most important thing for people. I was bullied by the people in the imperial kitchen. I can't have lunch and I will starve to death in a few days. Is this still a small matter?"

"Besides, this is just a matter of the harem. The Imperial Concubine can decide it alone. Why do we have to disturb the Emperor?"

"The Imperial Concubine is newly pregnant, and it's not even three months yet. The fetus is unstable, and she has been vomiting lately. She can't eat or sleep, and she has lost a lot of weight."

"You were promoted by the Imperial Concubine. Don't you feel sorry for her? Do you expect her to do justice for you despite her weak body?"

"you,……"

Concubine Feng was almost pissed off by her.

It was clearly Concubine An who did this, but she pushed all the responsibility onto her, making it seem as if she was deliberately looking for trouble to make Yun Zhining worried.

If she wasn't afraid of causing trouble for Yun Zhining, she would have rushed up and started a fight with Concubine An.

Children are better. If they want to tear something apart, they can do so. Even if things get out of hand, they will just get scolded.

But no matter how angry these adults are, they have to smile and swallow their blood even if their teeth are knocked out. It is really difficult.
