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

Just as Qi Yejing said, Yun Zhining was not yet qualified to pay her respects to the Queen, so she could lie down comfortably, but she still had to deal with the bed sheets that were soiled last night.

Place a large wooden basin in the space, fill it with water, throw the soiled sheets into it, and leave it there for a quarter of an hour. All the dirt on it will be washed away. Take it out, wash it, and let Qingzhu take it out to dry.

After cleaning up, she changed her clothes and then lay down and fell asleep comfortably.

Maybe because she worked too hard to deal with Qi Yejing last night, Yun Zhining took a two-day break. She didn't go out of the house and just slept and ate, and ate and slept every day.

Qi Yejing had been sending people to keep an eye on the movements in Furong Pavilion. Seeing that Yun Zhining was also in poor condition and was just at the end of her strength, his mood instantly improved. Although the people in the imperial study didn't know why their master suddenly became in a better mood, it was a good thing after all, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief silently.

After three days of rest, the two finally recovered their energy, and Qi Yejing then openly summoned Yun Zhining to have sex with him.

He had been holding his breath, so he took revenge as soon as he got the chance. That night, Yun Zhining was tortured until almost the beginning of the morning hour. All the bones in her body felt as if they were broken and she felt extremely uncomfortable. However, at daybreak, Qi Yejing, who had only rested for less than an hour, went to the court in high spirits as if nothing had happened.

Yun Zhining was so tired that she fell into a deep sleep as soon as she saw him off.

At one o'clock in the morning, Qinglan, the lady-in-chief of Longqian Palace, came in with the palace maids to serve Yun Zhining. Seeing that Yun Zhining was still asleep, she asked the palace maids to go forward and call her.

"Yun Changzai, Yun Changzai, wake up, it's time to pay respects to the Empress."

"Okay, I'll get up now."

Yun Zhining slowly stood up and dressed herself with the help of the palace maid. After going out, she saw Qingzhu who had been waiting there.

"My Lord, can you still hold on?"

"Fortunately."

Just now, when Qinglan and others were not paying attention, I added some spiritual spring water into the cup. Now I have recovered some energy, so I should have no problem coping with the morning and evening.

"That's good."

Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief silently and helped her to the Queen's Fengyi Palace.

Fengyi Palace is very close to Longqian Palace, and it takes about a quarter of an hour to walk there, so it wasn't too late when Yun Zhining arrived. Most of the concubines below had arrived, leaving only a few high-ranking concubines and the owner of Fengyi Palace. The queen herself had not arrived.

As soon as Yun Zhining entered, everyone in the hall looked at her. If looks could kill, she would have been cut into pieces by now.

Concubine Sun spoke first.

"Oh, isn't this Yun Changzai? I haven't seen you for a few days. You seem to be much more beautiful now. Look at your complexion today. It's obvious that you were favored last night. I'm really envious!"

Want to cause trouble?

Come on, who is afraid of whom?

Men like delicate women who need protection, but women hate delicate women who start crying after just three sentences, as if others have wronged them greatly. So Yun Zhining remained calm at this moment and spoke with a smile.

"Is it really that serious, Lady Sun? I have been in the palace for almost half a month, and it was only last night that I was favored for the first time. There are so many sisters in the harem, many of whom have better family backgrounds, better looks, gentler temperaments, and more likable people than me. Maybe after today, I will be left out in the cold again. Why are you being so aggressive?"

"Could it be that no matter who serves the emperor in the future, you will be jealous and sarcastic?"

Concubines of lower rank than her might swallow their anger, but if those of higher rank than her wanted to punish her, wouldn't it only take a few minutes?

She's asking for trouble.

The women in the harem always like to speak in a roundabout way, but few of them speak so bluntly. Seeing that everyone was looking at her with displeasure, Concubine Sun subconsciously panicked.

"Mrs. Yun, I know you hate me for delivering breakfast to the emperor with you and snatching the reward that was originally yours. But the emperor asked you to make your own request at that time, and you refused the emperor's reward for some yellow and white things. How can you blame me for this?"

"You really wronged me!"

Lady Sun complained, but Yun Zhining's expression was very calm, and the smile on her face did not diminish at all.

"Ms. Sun, you're overthinking it. Rewards are based on one's own ability. The final result was also caused by me, so I really don't blame you."

"As for why I was scolding you just now, it was because you were too sarcastic and I couldn't stand it."

"If every new concubine who enters the palace is treated with sarcasm by you after the first time she is favored by you, then in the long run, won't everyone in the harem be fed up with you?"

"You'd better change this bad habit, otherwise you will be attacked by everyone in the future. I'm sure the emperor and the queen don't want to see someone like you who stirs up disputes and chaos in the harem."

"well said!"

Just as Concubine Sun was about to frame Yun Zhining, she was interrupted by a voice.

A woman wearing a silver-red palace dress and a high bun on her head walked in. Everyone stood up and bowed to her and greeted her.

"I, your concubines, pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine Qi. May the Imperial Concubine be blessed with good health and good health."

"No courtesy, please get up."

"Thank you, noble concubine."

After Concubine Qi sat down, she waved to Yun Zhining, who quickly stepped forward, bowed, and chuckled.

"Your Highness, what is the important matter that the Imperial Concubine wants to see me?"

"Nothing, I just heard that a beautiful girl came to the palace, but I never had the chance to meet her. I finally waited for you to sleep with me, and finally saw you in person, so naturally I wanted to take a closer look."

"You are joking, Your Majesty. I am just a humble concubine, and I cannot compare to your peerless beauty. If you really like to look at beauties, you might as well go back and get a few more mirrors, and look at yourself more often every day. I guarantee that you will discover a different kind of beauty in yourself every time."

"Hahaha, what a coincidence you have, you've made me lose my mind."

"Your Highness, you really have a keen eye for talent. When I first saw Yun Changzai, I also thought that she was eloquent and a wonderful person. If I could learn even half as much as she did,..."

Concubine Sun originally planned to flatter Yun Zhining and make Concubine Qi hate her so that it would be easier to deal with her in the future. However, before she could finish her words, she was stopped by Concubine Qi with a look.

"I'm talking to Yun Chang, when is it your turn to interrupt?"

Concubine Qi's father was the most trusted general of the late emperor, and her eldest brother was the martial arts master of the current emperor. She grew up with the emperor, trained together in the military camp, and they survived the battlefield together.

General Qi once saved the life of Empress Dowager Xiaoyan, General Qi once saved the life of Empress Dowager Xiaoci, and Concubine Qi had even blocked a knife for the Emperor and been poisoned for the Empress, so no one in the harem dared to offend her. Concubine Sun, a noble lady of the sixth rank, had no right to give her orders. When she saw that she was angry, she immediately knelt down and apologized.

"My concubine has spoken out of turn, please punish me, Your Majesty."
