The queen is sober in the world, and she is winning every step of the palace fight.

"Lady Yu is very powerful in her words. I just don't know how long you can be so powerful in front of me."

Zheng Zhuyi's smile widened. She took a few steps closer and looked at Yu Sujin proudly. "I am above you in rank, yet you are sitting here chatting and laughing with me? Did Concubine Zhao teach you this etiquette?"

Yu Sujin looked at her softly.

Smiling, she instructed the maidservant beside her: "Greet your greetings to the noble concubine first, and don't let the concubine choose the gift."

The maid holding the basin hurriedly squatted down and saluted, saying "Good morning, Your Majesty."

Yu Sujin took a handkerchief and slowly wiped off the remaining powder on her face. She washed it twice and then took the dry handkerchief handed to her by the maid and wiped away the water marks.

He slowly straightened his collar and cuffs, smoothed his long hair, then took the hand of the maid and slowly stood up from the couch.

She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, my eldest sister, Concubine Zhao, is the most knowledgeable about etiquette and never allows me to break the rules. I didn't get up to greet you immediately just now because I was washing my face. I didn't expect that Your Majesty would go straight into her inner room. I was really surprised.

Even when I was at my mother's house, I never saw anyone barging into my inner chambers without permission. Honestly, the former Imperial Concubine, now serving her sentence in the Cold Palace, never once entered my boudoir without asking... "Ah, your style, Imperial Concubine, is truly refreshing."

Seeing Zheng Zhuyi's face becoming increasingly ugly, Yu Sujin covered her hands and chuckled, then said:

"When I was at home, I often heard my father teach me that reading ten thousand books is like traveling ten thousand miles. Now I understand the truth of this saying. Just staying at home and reading is not enough. Only by leaving home and meeting all kinds of people can I broaden my horizons. Your Majesty, you are truly my 'Ten Thousand Miles'. Thank you very much!"

The maidservants around her were brought into the palace by their families.

Seeing how much she was mocking him and that the flesh on Concubine Zheng's cheeks was shaking, he quickly and quietly pulled at the corner of her clothes, asking her to be more restrained.

Yu Sujin has Fei Wan's support, and now she is in favor and enjoying the glory. How could she easily let go of Zheng Zhuyi, a newcomer who rudely broke into the house?

Not only did he not listen, he turned around and asked the maid, "When we were at home, our wet nurse often nagged us about something that was similar to what father taught us. Do you remember what it was?"

The maid said in a cold sweat: "No...I don't know."

Yu Sujin reminded her, "The forest is big... the second half of the sentence?"

"...W-what kind of birds are there?"

"Yes." Yu Sujin continued, "There's another saying, when there are more than a hundred people..."

The maidservant gritted her teeth and dared not refuse to answer, "There are hundreds of people here, all with their own unique styles."

"What does that mean?"

"Reply, reply young master, what I mean is that when there are more people, there will be all kinds of things..."

Yu Sujin nodded in satisfaction, "That's right. It's a bit of a stretch, but there are so many beautiful ladies in the harem these days, and it's really surprising to see someone as brave and arrogant as Concubine Zheng Guipin!"

Snapped!

Zheng Zhuyi slapped the maid in the face.

"Ah!" The maid dodged in panic and accidentally knocked over the washbasin in her hand.

The basin was full of water for washing face, half of it was splashed on Yu Sujin, and the other half gradually wet Zheng Zhuyi.

"Ouch...it hurts!"

Yu Sujin was so surprised that she fell down.

He dragged the maidservant to the ground and fell together, crying and shouting in panic.

"My Lady, how have I ever offended you? Why do you just want to hit me?"

"My lady, my lady, how are you?" The maid quickly got up and went to help Yu Sujin without caring about herself.

Yu Sujin lay on the ground, pretending to be unable to stand up. She covered her face and cried, "Your Highness, please spare my life. I will never dare to do it again. Please don't hold it against me. Considering that I have been respectful to you in the past, please forgive me just this time!"

The palace maid serving outside heard the noise, came into the room, took a look, and turned around and ran away.

"Help me! Concubine Zheng is here to beat up my young mistress! Help me!

Upon hearing the noise, the two concubines living in the same palace hurried over.

"what happened……"

"Oh, Sister Yu, what's wrong with you? Your face..."

"Did the noble concubine slap you?"

"Greetings, Your Majesty. I pay my respects to you. What's going on? Why can't you just talk it out? Why are you hitting me?"

Yu Sujin was soaked and fell to the ground. The half of her face that she was covering was red. Anyone who saw her could tell that she had been beaten.

Zheng Zhuyi's face turned ashen.

My teeth were almost broken.

Bitch!

I have never seen such a mean bitch!

"I hit her maid, not her! She rubbed her face red herself!"

Yu Sujin trembled, shrank her neck, and stared at Zheng Zhuyi with fear in her eyes.

He nodded timidly: "Yes... yes, Your Majesty is right, I rubbed it all by myself... It really has nothing to do with Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand!"

Several concubines looked at each other.

Even after all this, you still don't want to let it get misunderstood? This isn't a misunderstanding at all!

But Zheng Zhuyi was in a high position after all, so no one dared to act rashly.

Several people secretly assessed the two people in front of them.

One is a noble concubine promoted by the Queen Mother herself, but the Queen Mother is now under "house arrest".

One is a noble who is in great favor. Although her position is not high, she has Concubine Zhao as her elder sister, and Concubine Zhao is even more favored.

However, Concubine Zhao was recently involved in Ying Ronghua's miscarriage incident. It is said that she conspired with Concubine Hui. It is hard to say whether it is good or bad.

However, His Majesty did not seem to have any intention of punishing Concubine Zhao.

...After thinking about all these things, a few people decided not to offend anyone.

"Sister Yu, please get up first and stop crying. Change into clean clothes."

"Your Highness, please calm down. If you have anything to say, please come sit outside with me first and we can talk slowly, okay?"

Several people talked at once and tried to persuade them to reconcile.

She reluctantly persuaded Zheng Zhuyi to sit outside and rest first, letting Yu Sujin change clothes in the house.

"Hurry up and change! I still have something to say to you! If you're a little slower, I'll really hit you, what can you do?"

Before leaving, Zheng Zhuyi pointed at Yu Sujin and threatened her.

Yu Sujin slowly changed her clothes, slowly combed her hair, slowly put on makeup, and put on her hairpins and jewelry. Everything was ready in two or three quarters of an hour.

"Does it still hurt?" he asked, gently stroking the half of the maid's face that was beaten.

The maid shook her head: "It doesn't hurt. The blow just now was not strong enough. I dodged it a little."

Yu Sujin's eyes turned cold: "Wait for me to find a chance and take revenge on you."

"My dear, don't be like this. She's not easy to mess with..."

"Is there a big sister who is not easy to mess with?"

Yu Sujin walked out of the inner room leisurely.

Zheng Zhuyi was persuaded by several concubines and waited for a long time. Her face had become extremely ugly.

Seeing that there were pink fingerprints on half of Yu Sujin's face, not even covered by makeup, he sneered.

"You're just pretending. Even if I hit you, would there be any marks left after so long?"
