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

In Qingning Palace, Yun Zhining had just finished bathing and was about to put some medicine on her forehead before going to sleep when she discovered that Qi Yejing was missing.

She asked Qingzhu, and Qingzhu said that someone had just come to Yankang Palace and said that the eldest prince had a sudden high fever and kept muttering in a daze that he wanted to report his recent schoolwork to Qi Yejing. Concubine Zhou had no choice but to send someone to invite him, and then he followed the people from Yankang Palace away.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I didn't stop the people from Yankang Palace."

"Well, those who should leave can't be kept, and those who should stay can't leave either. The emperor is destined not to belong to me alone, so there is no need to force him to stay."

"My lady, if you feel uncomfortable, just scold me. Don't keep it in your heart, it will make you sick."

"Silly!"

Poking her forehead, Yun Zhining said with a smile.

"As a concubine, it is a necessary lesson for me to act like I am open-hearted and love the emperor so much in front of him. Only in this way can I leave a deep impression on the emperor at the beginning. But this is just acting, not real. I still have to remember the purpose of entering the palace and keep moving towards that goal. This is the most important thing."

"do you understand?"

Qingzhu nodded.

"Okay, go to bed."

"The slaves retire."

Although it was late at night, the events in Qingning Palace quickly spread throughout the harem, and everyone was waiting to see Yun Zhining make a fool of herself.

The next morning, in Fengyi Palace, after paying respects to the Queen, Yun Zhining had just sat down when she heard Concubine Liu, who was at the same level, mocking her in a sarcastic tone.

"Hey, Mingpin, what happened to your forehead? Did the emperor hit you?"

"That's impossible. Although the emperor is very strict in government affairs, he is not so harsh on concubines. Mingpin, could it be that you have done something that angered the heavens and the people, and thus provoked the emperor to be furious?"

"I heard that you seemed to have been injured on your forehead after you came out of Xiaohe Palace. Could it be that you did something to the Queen Mother?"

Yun Fulan covered her mouth with her hand and looked at her in shock.

"Mingpin, how could you do such a thing? You are really going to kill me."

Zhou Baozhu was so angry that she just retorted.

"Mr. Xiao, do you have any evidence to support your claim?"

"This matter has spread throughout the harem. Do you still need evidence?"

"So you have no evidence. If you have no evidence, then it is slander and defamation. You must apologize to Mingpin."

Yun Fulan smiled.

"Zhou Baozhu, I am a noble lady, and you are just a little concubine. How dare you disobey me? Do you think the palace rules don't exist?"

"Zhou promised that she was just explaining something for me, but you think she was committing a crime of insubordination. Then you slandered me without any evidence. Does that count as committing a crime of insubordination?"

"All right."

Seeing that the two of them were about to fight, the queen had to step in to mediate.

"I have heard about what happened last night. The Queen Mother had written a storybook without the Emperor's knowledge and asked Mingpin to keep it a secret. Mingpin was accidentally discovered by the Emperor, so the Emperor took Mingpin to the Xiaohe Palace to confront the Queen Mother. She said something that was not right, and the Queen Mother threw a teacup at him in anger. Mingpin blocked it for him and got hurt."

As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Liu's face turned green instantly, and Yun Fulan's expression also became much uglier.

"Is the Queen's source of information accurate?"

"Are you doubting my ability?"

"I don't dare."

"Since you don't dare, then shut up and avoid annoying others."

Yun Fulan lowered her eyes, suppressing the hatred that flashed across her eyes.

At the beginning of the selection, she was full of confidence, thinking that she would definitely be able to rise to a high position in the future, or even become the queen. However, she was left out as soon as she entered the palace. She worked hard to win the emperor's attention and gradually began to be favored. However, in less than a month, she was framed and poisoned as queen, and the emperor stripped her of her title and sent her to the cold palace.

In desperation, she had to find a way to ask her father and mother to send her concubine sister into the palace to rescue her. However, her concubine sister became bold after entering the palace. Not only did she give birth to a princess, she also tried every means to discredit her in front of the emperor, making the emperor hate her and no longer favor her. She lost power, and people like Zhou Baozhu, who were lower in rank than her, dared to show off in front of her. The queen also lost her face in front of all the concubines, embarrassing her.

Just wait, one day, I will make you all crawl at my feet and submit to me.

for sure!

Concubine De is not interested in Yun Fulan, her target has always been Concubine Zhou.

"Mingpin has always been well-behaved, serving the emperor wholeheartedly, and being very respectful to the Empress. She is a role model in the harem. However, as a role model for the concubines, Concubine Zhou has taken the lead in not paying respects to the Empress. How can this continue?"

"It turns out that it was you, Concubine De, who had been saying bad things about me behind my back!"

As soon as Concubine Zhou came in, she heard Concubine De flattering the Queen, so she retorted to her mercilessly.

"The eldest prince had a sudden high fever last night and didn't wake up until just now. I settled him down and then came to pay my respects to the Empress. But you can't understand this feeling, Concubine De. After all, you don't even have a child, so you naturally can't understand the feelings of being a mother."

The virtuous concubine covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

"Have you, the Imperial Concubine, forgotten that your sister, the De Concubine, already has a daughter?"

"She just stole someone else's daughter. Given the emperor's love for Mingpin, she will surely get pregnant soon. If the next baby is a prince, the emperor might directly promote her to a concubine. Then she will be eligible to raise the child. Shouldn't Defei obediently return the child to her?"

"So, people still have to have their own children. Using crooked means to steal someone else's child is ultimately just a pipe dream and is not considered a skill at all."

"Empress Zhou, Concubine Xian, you are going too far!"
