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

"What Liu Fangyi said is not right. Aren't you worried that the maids in your palace will carry you on their backs and climb onto the emperor's bed, and then slap you hard in public?"

"Of course I am worried, but I am not as favored as you. Naturally, the maids in my palace do not see the emperor as often as the maids in your palace. Without seeing the emperor, even if they really want to do so, they have no chance."

Qi Xiurong also added fuel to the fire at the right time.

"Ming Yuerong, if this happened in your palace, how would you deal with this betraying maid?"

Yun Zhining's eyes suddenly became sharp, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a half-smile.

"Qi Xiurong really wants to know?"

"I really, really want to know, but I wonder if Ming Yuerong can satisfy my curiosity?"

"Since Qi Xiurong wants to know so much, I will mercifully tell you."

"First of all, the people in Qingning Palace would never think of doing this."

"Secondly, if someone really dares to betray me and make love with the emperor in my bed, I will definitely split the betraying maid like I split the bed. I will definitely not be as virtuous as Concubine Wende, forgive her mistakes, and take the initiative to ask the emperor to give her a status."

"So, your vision is not as good as Concubine Wende's, so your status is naturally not higher than Concubine Wende's."

Yun Zhining was not angry at all.

"I am just a concubine. All I have to do is to win the emperor's favor, give birth to more children, consolidate my position, and have a guarantee for the future. I am not the mother of a country, so why should I be so virtuous?"

Liu Fangyi gasped and looked at Concubine Wende with a look of horror.

"Ming Yuerong really woke me up with a word. We are all concubines. We just need to take care of ourselves. The one who is in charge of the harem and balances the palaces should be the Empress. When will it be Concubine Wende's turn?"

"Does Concubine Wende want to replace the Empress and become the Queen Mother of Daye?"

"Hey, this is too scary, Queen, you have to take care of it. If you don't, something bad will happen."

Qi Xiurong also added a sentence "kindly".

"I suddenly remembered that Concubine Wende participated in the selection with the Empress Dowager. Because Concubine Wende's temperament was similar to that of Concubine Li Guifei at the time, the late emperor wanted Concubine Wende to be the prince's consort and the Empress Dowager to be a concubine."

"But Empress Dowager Xiaoyan and Empress Dowager Xiaoci both disliked Concubine Li, so they naturally disliked Concubine Wende, who had the same temperament as Concubine Li and was personally designated by the late emperor as the prince's consort. They instead chose the Empress as the prince's consort and made Concubine Wende the concubine."

"Just because of such a simple sentence, Concubine Wende was changed from the principal wife to a concubine. No one would be able to bear it. It is understandable that she wants to replace the Empress and become the new Queen Mother of Daye."

This time it was the queen's turn to look unhappy.

"Qi Xiurong and Liu Fangyi have offended me with their words and deeds. They will each be confined for one month and fined half a year's salary. If they continue to talk nonsense in the future, don't blame me for being cruel and heartless."

"I know I was wrong, please calm down, Queen."

This morning, Concubine Wende lost face at the morning review. After returning home, she had a tantrum. Everyone in Yongshou Palace was silent, fearing that they would be scolded by her.

The incident happened several days ago, and even if Concubine Wende was slow to react, she had already figured it out.

When Yun Zhining brought Xiao Pu Tao to Yongshou Palace that day, it was Ming Xia who served her tea. It is very likely that she said something to Ming Xia, which aroused Ming Xia's rebelliousness, causing Ming Xia to do such a thing.

Although Mingxia was wrong, Yun Zhining was no pushover either. For the time being, she couldn't deal with Mingxia openly, but she could still trip up Yun Zhining secretly.

Didn’t Yun Zhining say that no one in Qingning Palace would betray their old master and climb onto the emperor’s bed? She wanted to see if that place was as solid as Yun Zhining said, a solid iron plate that not even a drop of water could get into?

“Hahahaha, hahahaha, hahahahaha!”

As soon as they returned to Qingning Palace, Zhou Baozhu put her hands on her hips and laughed out loud. Yun Zhining covered her face and didn't even want to say that she knew her.

"That's enough, restrain yourself. If Concubine Wende finds out, she will definitely find a chance to punish you. Even if I step in, I won't be able to protect you."

"Don't worry, Concubine Wende won't dare to touch me."

Zhou Baozhu waved her hand and said calmly.

"Last time, I nearly died in the mouth of a poisonous snake in order to save you. My father was very unhappy and even wrote a letter to the emperor. If Concubine Wende dares to touch me, I will pretend to be sick. Even if it is for the sake of our family's money, the emperor will deal with Concubine Wende. There is no need for you to do anything."

"Okay, it's really great to be rich!"

"It's okay. Although my family is rich, we don't have power. That's why my father sent me to the palace to use this relationship to pave the way for our family and gradually expand our family's business sector."

"After I followed you, my status improved a lot, and it became much easier for my brothers and sisters to get married. If I could hook up with an official in the court, my brothers and sisters could pursue a career in government. In a few decades, we would be a family of officials, and we wouldn't have to be looked down upon anymore."

Yun Zhining laughed when she heard the voice.

"Then you have to help me in the future, otherwise I will be really alone and powerless."

"Don't worry, we are in the same boat. The better you are, the better I can live, and the more my family can benefit. I will definitely do my best to help you."

"Then I'll thank you first."

"You're welcome. Just remember to take me flying."

"Most definitely."

After watching the show for the whole morning, Zhou Baozhu was hungry. After having breakfast in the main hall, she went back to play. Yun Zhining had something to discuss with Qingzhu and others, so she asked Little Grape to go with her to play.

There were only Qingzhu, Nanny Qi and Mujin left in the hall. Seeing Yun Zhining's serious expression, Qingzhu couldn't help but speak.

"My lady, have you encountered any problems? Do you need my help?"

Yun Zhining didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.

"You may not know that it was me who instigated Mingxia to climb into bed with me."

Aunt Qingzhu Qi:!!!

Hibiscus was also a little shocked.

However, she has always been taciturn and naturally would not speak on her own initiative.

Qingzhu was only shocked for a moment, but soon reacted.

"Even if it was the Queen who instigated this matter, it was because Mingxia had a rebellious heart and had long wanted to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix. It has little to do with the Queen."

"I'm not saying whether this matter has anything to do with me. What I want to say is that Concubine Wen De must have guessed that this matter has something to do with me. She must bear a grudge against me and is doing something behind my back."

"What the queen means is, ..."

"She would send people to instigate the people in Qingning Palace, and have them climb into my bed and make love with the emperor."

"Impossible! Everyone in our palace follows the Empress' lead. We would never do such a thing!"
