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

"My lady, I have done my best to serve you. Even if I have not done anything meritorious, I have worked hard. Please save me for the sake of our past friendship. I beg you."

When the young eunuch saw the palace maid asking Yun Zhining for help, he also spoke up immediately. The wailing and crying sounds were one after another. If people didn't know, they would think that Yun Zhining had done something to them.

Yun Zhining couldn't hold her forehead with her hand.

I should not have come to join in the fun earlier. Now, I’m the one who’s joining the fun.

She took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Since you chose to follow the Imperial Concubine, you are her slaves. If the Imperial Concubine wants to punish you, how can a small person like me interfere?"

"If the Imperial Concubine is alright, I will go back first."

"Wait a moment!"

Concubine Zhou suddenly called her and smiled maliciously.

"I have seen that this maid is very afraid of Nanny Zhen. If that is the case, I will give her a favor and let you, her former master, slap her in the face. This will teach her a lesson and help her remember what to do and what not to do in the future. It will also help you vent your anger. It will kill two birds with one stone. What do you think?"

"Does the Imperial Concubine really want to do this?"

"I have spoken, and I cannot go back on my words. What, Ming Xiaoyi, do you want to disobey my order?"

"I don't dare."

Now that the knife had been handed to her, she couldn't refuse.

Yun Zhining walked over and slowly raised her hand.

With a loud "slap", a bright red slap mark appeared on the palace maid's face.

Yun Zhining withdrew her hand, and her mood instantly became much better. Her eyebrows curved and her smile was bright.

"Is the Imperial Concubine satisfied with this slap?"

"Very satisfied. How about you?"

"If your Majesty is satisfied, then I am satisfied."

Concubine Zhou laughed.

"Okay, get out!"

Yun Zhining withdrew obediently.

After watching her go away, Concubine Zhou slowly turned her gaze to the palace maid, with a hint of viciousness in her eyes.

"Useless things!"

She originally wanted to use the palace maids and eunuchs who used to serve in Furong Pavilion to humiliate Yun Zhining, but she didn't expect that not only did she fail to humiliate her, but she also let her feel relieved. She really lost more than she gained.

"Madam Zhen, send them both back to the Palace Department and tell Eunuch Feng to teach them a lesson. If they dare to send such treacherous slaves to the harem next time, be careful of their skins."

"Don't worry, Madam. I will go right away and make sure these two slaves won't suffer any consequences."

This was just a small episode and Yun Zhining didn't take it seriously. Little did she know that the slap in the face today actually caused a disaster and almost made her unable to recover completely.

Yun Zhining's pregnancy was bad news for some people, but for most people, it was extremely good news, because if she was pregnant, everyone would have one less strong competitor, and they could have more opportunities to sleep with the emperor for a few more days. If they were lucky enough to get pregnant by Yun Zhining, they would not have to worry about their lives.

Therefore, in recent times, the concubines in the harem have focused their main energy on pleasing Qi Yejing. The imperial study receives dozens of cakes and porridge every day. Qi Yejing feels overwhelmed when he hears that the concubines in the harem want to see him. Dong Ling is scolded every day, and the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the imperial study are also trembling with fear.

There was a sound of footsteps in the hall, and Qi Yejing didn't even bother to raise his head.

"Tell me, who is it this time?"

"Noble Concubine Qi."

Ok?

Qi Yejing raised his head and glanced at Dong Ling, frowning slightly.

"She has never been interested in this kind of thing. Why is she getting involved this time?"

"The Imperial Concubine said that she has nothing to do anyway, so she might as well join in and have some fun to kill some time."

"boring."

He dropped the wolf hair brush in his hand, pressed his forehead with his hand, and said helplessly.

“When will this day end?”

"If the emperor doesn't issue a strict order to ban it, it's unlikely to stop in the short term."

"You can't go on like this. Go to Xiaohe Palace and ask your mother to warn the concubines in the harem and tell them not to do such things again."

"I'm afraid that won't work. You haven't been to the harem for half a month. Not only the ladies in the harem, but also the two queen dowagers are very worried. If you weren't so busy with government affairs recently, the two queen dowagers would have sent someone to take you to the harem and personally watch you favor the concubines."

"You know that I am busy with government affairs, but you still help them bully me. Don't you think it's too much?"

"What can a slave do then?"

"you,……"

Qi Yejing was so angry that he picked up the file on the table and threw it at him. As soon as he moved his wrist, a face appeared in his mind.

"What is Ming Xiaoyi doing recently?"

"She has been staying in Furong Pavilion to take care of her pregnancy recently. When she has nothing to do, she grows vegetables in the yard, cooks a few delicious dishes, and plays mahjong with the palace maids and eunuchs. She is having a really wonderful time."

Unlike him, he is always worried that his head will fall off and he won’t be able to see the sunrise tomorrow morning.

Qi Yejing was also envious of this.

"No, we can't let her live so freely like this."

He waved at Dong Ling. Dong Ling leaned over and after listening to his little thoughts, he was completely speechless.

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that Ming Xiaoyi will make trouble with you if she finds out about your plan?"

"She is my woman, it is her duty to share my burden. Stop nagging and go quickly. If you are still like this tomorrow, you will lose your head."

"Your Majesty, calm down. I will do it right away."

More than half an hour later, Yun Zhining saw two tables full of food and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

"Eunuch Dong Ling, could it be that these things were sent to the Imperial Study by the ladies?"

"My lady is indeed smart. No wonder the emperor likes her so much."

"Do you want this blessing?"

"I dare not ask for it."

Unless he doesn't want his head.

"Okay, I understand what the emperor means. Go back and report to him. There will definitely be no such things in the imperial study tomorrow."

"In that case, thank you for your trouble, my lord. I will take my leave now."

"Eunuch Dongling, take care."

After watching Dong Ling leave, Qingzhu looked at Yun Zhining with a worried look on his face.

"My Lord, how are we going to deal with so many things?"

Yun Zhining did not answer her question, but gave a different answer.

"Where is Xiaokui now?"

"Play outside."

As soon as these words were spoken, the sadness on Qingzhu's face disappeared without a trace.

"My lord, what you mean is, ..."

"A dead Taoist friend will never die a poor Taoist."

"Hey hey hey."

"Hee hee hee."

Xiao Kui was still confused when she was called in, but she waved her hands repeatedly after listening.

"My lady, please forgive me, I really can't do it!"

"Xiao Kui, be good. All of this depends on you. Without you, we really can't do it!"

Both sides were howling like wolves and screaming like ghosts, and Aunt Qi thought it was a supernatural incident.
