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

Yun Zhining was almost laughing because of him.

"Don't worry, father. I haven't forgotten about this at all. However, isn't this situation exactly what you want?"

"My elder sister has already been released from the cold palace, and has recently been in great favor. I believe it won't be long before she gets pregnant. I have fallen out of favor and cannot hinder my elder sister's advancement. What else is father dissatisfied with?"

"Since you know that you have fallen out of favor, you should calm down and support your sister. If your sister becomes successful, you will also be able to benefit from it."

"Taking advantage?"

"Hahaha!"

Yun Zhining laughed so hard that tears came out.

"Everyone in the harem knows that Yun Fulan and I have a bad relationship. Whether Yun Fulan is favored or not, it has nothing to do with me. I won't even take advantage of her. As long as I am not implicated by her, I will be thankful."

Yuan Changbo's eyes turned even colder as he looked at her.

"I asked you to enter the palace to rescue your sister from the cold palace and help her, not to cause trouble for her. If you can't help her well, then there is no need for you to exist."

"Is father planning to get rid of me?"

"If you help your sister eliminate dissidents, your father will naturally not make things difficult for you, and will also be kind to your mother and brother. But if you deliberately make things difficult for your sister and secretly trip her up, then don't blame your father for being cruel and merciless."

The fake smile on Yun Zhining's face disappeared instantly, and the corners of her mouth drooped.

"Father, are you threatening me?"

"No, I'm just kindly reminding you so that you know what to do and what not to do."

"I would like to give my father a piece of advice. You'd better be kind to my mother and brother. If they are hurt in the slightest, don't blame me for dragging you three to death."

"Yun Zhining, how dare you!"

"If you don't believe me, you can give it a try."

"you,……"

Yuan Changbo was so angry that he raised his hand to slap her, but before the slap landed on Yun Zhining's face, he was stopped by someone.

Madam Lin shook off his hand and said with a cold face.

"This is not your Yuanchang Marquis's Mansion, and Ming Wanyi is no longer your daughter. It is not your turn to act wildly here."

The couple of Earl Yuanchang dared to act arrogantly in front of Yun Zhining, but when they met Madam Lin, they automatically felt inferior.

Yuan Changbo quickly withdrew his hand and apologized with a smile.

"Your humble servant greets Madam Lin and the Second Prince."

"The banquet is about to begin. Why don't you take your wife in and wait for us, Lord Yuanchang?"

"Wei Chen retire."

Yun Fulan was worried that Mrs. Lin would also teach her a lesson, so she planned to go in with the Earl of Yuanchang and his wife. However, as soon as she raised her foot, Mrs. Lin stopped her.

"Xiao Xiaoyi, you are now a concubine. You should keep a proper distance from court officials and women outside the palace, even your biological parents. Do you understand?"

Yun Fulan nodded in humiliation and watched the Earl of Yuanchang and his wife enter Chonghua Palace. Her fingernails cut her palms, leaving them covered in blood.

After waiting for a while, thinking that the emperor, empress and two queen dowagers had arrived, Mrs. Lin brought Yun Zhining and Yun Fulan in.

The second prince glanced at Yun Fulan and asked in a voice that everyone could hear.

"Mrs. Ming, did Xiao Xiaoyi and Earl Yuanchang bully you just now?"

"They have never liked me. It is normal for them to scold me when we meet. Second Prince, don't take it to heart."

"We are both fathers, but Uncle Yuanchang treats Xiao Xiaoyi especially well, but he treats you worse than a stranger. This is too unfair!"

"All ten fingers are of different lengths. How can parents treat all their children equally?"

"But it doesn't matter. Since they don't like me, there's no need for me to like them."

The second prince said with a distressed look on his face.

"Don't be sad, Madam Ming. My mother and I both like you very much. When I grow up, I will definitely protect you and Little Grape and will never let anyone bully you."

Yun Zhining laughed out loud.

"Okay, then Madam Ming will wait for our Feng'er to grow up and protect Madam Ming and Little Grape."

The group had just sat down and hadn't had time to pour themselves a cup of tea when they heard a call of names.

"The Emperor has arrived."

"The Empress is here."

"The Empress Dowager Xiaoyan has arrived."

"The Empress Dowager Xiaoci has arrived."

Everyone present stood up and saluted.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to His Majesty. Long live the Emperor. I pay my respects to His Majesty the Empress. May Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years. I pay my respects to the two Empress Dowagers. May Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

"Without courtesy, I will give you a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After everyone was seated, Qi Yejing raised his glass and spoke loudly.

"This year is a lucky year. First, three princes and princesses were born in the harem, continuing the bloodline of Daye. Then, I found some practical talents in the court. Although there were some minor episodes along the way, it was generally smooth."

"Of course, all this depends on the Queen's tolerant governance and the full support of the ministers. I want to toast you a glass. I hope you will continue to help me manage the harem and handle the affairs of the court next year, and develop and expand Daye."

"I will obey the emperor's will."

After the toast, the banquet officially began.

At this time of year in previous years, there would always be people performing dances in the harem, and this year was no exception. Less than a quarter of an hour had passed since the dancer finished her dance when Yun Fulan stood up and asked to dance. There was no reason for Qi Yejing to refuse.

Yun Zhining had received the news a long time ago and had been waiting for this moment.

Tonight is destined to be an unforgettable night.

Yun Fulan went downstairs and changed into a peach-colored dance dress. She flirted with Qi Yejing while dancing. Qi Yejing enjoyed it very much, but everyone else wanted to kill Yun Fulan with their eyes.

Yun Zhining remained calm. In a corner where no one was paying attention, she flicked her finger in the air. The next moment, Yun Fulan screamed.

As she was dancing, her belt suddenly broke, and her clothes fell off, revealing her bellyband and her fair skin. She held her head and screamed, not daring to accept this fact.

It was only because of her great self-control that the queen managed to hold back from laughing.

"Where are the people from Furong Pavilion? Hurry and take your master away."

Chunxiang came up in a panic and took Yun Fulan away. Qi Yejing's face was already extremely ugly.

Yun Zhining suddenly stood up, bowed to Qi Yejing, and spoke loudly.

"I have prepared a dance before, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to allow me to perform it. If Your Majesty is satisfied after watching it, please forgive Xiao Xiaoyi's misconduct in front of the palace."

"What if I'm not satisfied?"

"If the emperor is not satisfied, I am willing to be punished."

"Are you willing to accept any punishment, no matter what it is?"

"Except for Little Grape."

Qi Yejing's eyes darkened and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, I want to see what you can do."

"Then your Majesty, please take a look."

Yun Zhining ordered people to bring in 2,918 palm-sized drums, and placed four large drums on each side. A lot of ink was placed in front of the drums, and a piece of white cloth was placed facing Qi Yejing, supported by a wooden frame, waiting for Yun Zhining to splash ink, bringing out a different kind of brilliance.

Below the stage, the concubines were discussing the matter.

"What kind of dance is Ming Wanyi performing? Why is there such a big fuss about it?"

"Who knows?"

"A big show doesn't mean the dance will be good. If the dance isn't good, all these exclamations will turn into slaps on her face. She will be so surprised."

"Just wait and see the show."

He wants to step on Yun Fulan to get higher, but he doesn't even consider whether she has the ability to do so!
