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

The palace where Ming Guipin lived was relatively remote, almost as remote as the Qingliang Palace where Concubine Si lived.

After being promoted to noble concubine, she did not move to another palace and continued to live in her original place.

Queen Yan took Fei Wan and a few others with her. They went further and further away, and finally the road became so narrow that even the ceremonial procession could not pass through.

"What is the Ministry of Internal Affairs' Construction Department responsible for? How can they allow branches to grow so wildly that they block the road?"

Queen Yan got off the sedan chair, held the hand of a palace maid and continued to walk, and ordered someone to call the eunuch in charge of the Construction Department immediately.

The Construction Department was responsible for repairing houses inside the palace, maintaining roads, and even arranging flowers and trees on both sides of the roads.

Outside Ming Guipin's palace, the trees were growing in disorder, obviously because they had not taken good care of them.

"Princess, stop running! Come back or you might fall!"

Before entering the yard, I heard someone shouting outside the wall.

Queen Yan raised her hand to stop the people around her from reporting and walked straight in.

In the empty yard, a little girl was running on the ground. She was not running very fast, but her steps were very unstable. In a blink of an eye, she fell to the ground with a thud.

An elderly palace maid shouted from behind, her tone stern as she saw the situation: "I told you not to run, but you wouldn't listen! Hurry up and get up! You're lying on that cold ground and making yourself sick. You'll have to wait on people later! What a hassle!"

But he didn't rush to help the little girl.

Ming Guipin squeezed over from behind, not caring about being rude, and rushed into the yard past Queen Yan, hugged the crying girl in her arms, and asked her with concern where she fell and where it hurt, with an anxious and forbearing look on her face.

The older palace maid had her back to the door and did not see Queen Yan and the others.

She said impatiently, "She's wearing a cotton coat. How could a slight fall hurt her? Your Majesty rushed in so hastily, looking red and pale. Are you blaming me for not taking good care of her?"

Ming Guipin did not scold her, but just glanced at her forbearingly, without saying anything, but picked up the child and patted her gently.

The child visibly flinched when she heard the maid's angry tone. Her cries softened, and she buried her head in her mother's arms, wrapping her little arms tightly around Concubine Ming's neck.

"My lady, please bring the child here to me."

The palace maid stretched out her hand.

Wait for Ming Guipin to give the child to her.

Ming Guipin subconsciously retreated, then restrained herself and froze there.

She even smiled apologetically and said, "I'll give her to you when she stops crying. She's crying so hard that her nose and eyes are snotty and she might stain your clothes."

A queen in the main position was so humble to the palace maid who was looking after the child that Queen Yan was so angry that her face darkened.

"Someone, pin that bastard to the ground and give him twenty lashes, now!"

The palace maid was startled when she heard this. She turned around and saw the concubines standing at the door with astonishment on their faces.

In the blink of an eye, Empress Yan's men rushed over and quickly pushed her to the ground.

When asked where the sticks used for punishment were, Ming Guipin said there were none.

Every palace is equipped with tools for punishment.

There isn't any here?

It can be seen how broken the rules are here.

The palace maids of Queen Yan thought of a way and soon found a small shovel used for cultivating flowers and trees in the backyard. They removed the shovel head and used the wooden handle of the shovel as a punishment stick.

Although the order was to beat with a stick, if there was only a stick, then use the stick.

After two or three blows, the palace maid screamed loudly.

"Empress! I'm just following orders. The eldest princess is too strong to be pampered. The old supervisor of the Imperial Observatory has calculated it himself! His Majesty has instructed you, the concubine, not to hold her all the time! Empress, you can't punish me arbitrarily without knowing right from wrong!"

Queen Yan sneered.

"I'm punishing you. You dare to question my principles? I'll give you ten more strokes of the cane. Beat you hard!"

Seeing this, Ming Guipin was at a loss as to what to do while holding the child.

The child also sensed the unusual atmosphere and cried even harder.

The shrill and tender cry made Fei Wan feel inexplicably sad.

Thinking of the two children in my previous life.

When she died in her previous life, her children were still young, not much older than the eldest princess now.

Unfortunately, she never saw them again since she left the palace.

Fei Wan walked forward, stood beside Ming Guipin, reached out, and gently stroked the eldest princess's head.
