Fei Wan randomly tied up her hair and rushed out of the palace.

It was so fast that Yun Cui couldn't stop it.

"This servant is Fei Wan."

Standing in the yard was the errand-running eunuch from Fengyi Palace.

When he saw Fei Wan's disheveled clothes and bruises on her face, he paused.

"...Miss, please pack up before going?"

The maidservant accompanying Concubine Xian immediately asked, "They said they would see the emperor immediately. Are they going to let all the ladies in the palace wait for a maid?"

He walked up with a smile and pulled Fei Wan away.

He looks like he's watching the fun and isn't afraid of getting into trouble.

Fei Wan pretended to struggle twice, then pretended not to break free, and was dragged away staggeringly by the maidservant of the virtuous concubine who was not even touching the ground.

The young eunuch of Fengyi Palace stamped his feet and had to take his men to follow.

Yun Cui did catch up and try to stop them, but the maid of Concubine Xian stopped her in her tracks with just a few words.

He also asked the palace maids who followed him to stop Yun Cui from pulling people away.

So Yuncui, who was very arrogant in Chunxi Palace, was at a loss for a moment.

This is all because of the special status of Concubine Xian.

Although her position was not as high as Yu Tingjin's, Concubine Xian's mother was a member of the royal family, so she and the emperor were cousins.

Her father was the Duke of Zhenguo, and her family had enjoyed the emperor's favor for generations.

In recent years, the national treasury has not been very full, and the money for disaster relief, rebellion suppression, and river repair has been stretched, and there have been frequent quarrels in the court.

The Duke of Zhenguo never got involved in arguments among court officials, but always quietly donated his property to help the emperor solve his urgent problems.

Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and even millions of silver coins were given away time and time again, and the four words "Jian is in the emperor's heart" were firmly established by him.

Therefore, in the harem, even the empress dowager and the queen had to give Concubine Xian some face.

How could Yun Cui have the right to act arrogantly towards her maid?

Fei Wan was brought to Fengyi Palace.

"Hey, what happened? Is this the maid who slept with the imperial concubine's sister? How could she be beaten like this? This is really strange!"

Before entering the palace, the voice of Concubine Xian, expressing her extreme surprise, was heard.

Fei Wan knelt at the door of the hall and kowtowed obediently.

A smile flickered across his lips.

In her previous life, she had not been beaten by Yun Cui. When she was called, she was timid and cowardly. After listening to the queen's lecture, she retreated.

But this time she made herself more eye-catching.

The performance of the virtuous concubine and her servant was better than expected.

Yuncui's misfortune today fell on them.

Fengyi Palace.

The carved beams and painted buildings are magnificent.

The sleeping palace built by Emperor Gaozu of this dynasty for his beloved first wife, Empress Xiaoren, was meticulously carved and, with the restoration work done over the generations, it became even more magnificent.

Although the current empress is not the emperor's first wife and her favor is only average, her position is still there. She receives the concubines' greetings and greetings every day, sitting gracefully on a high chair in brocade clothes, and she is also very dignified.

Below the empress, two rows of brocade chairs were occupied in order of their ranks by Consort Qing, Consort Chun, Consort Xian, Consort Hui, Consort Shun, Consort Kang, Zhaoyi Lan, Zhaoyi Fu and others.

They are all concubines.

Further down is the concubines' rank.

There are Concubine Min, Concubine Zhao, Concubine An, Concubine Yun, Concubine Jian, Concubine Wu, Concubine Ming, Concubine Xu, Rou Ronghua, Yuan Ronghua, Li Ronghua and so on.

There were also noble ladies, talented ladies, maids-in-waiting, and selected ladies below the rank of concubine, all of whom were ladies of lower rank. There was no place for them to sit in the hall, so they stood in an orderly line.

The positions below that, such as ladies-in-waiting, court ladies, and dressers, do not even have the qualifications to meet the empress every day, and are not included in this category.

The current emperor has lived in his palace for six years and has been on the throne for five years. Over the past ten years, he has accumulated so many women.

This does not include the maids and servants in the palace, like Fei Wan, who can serve the emperor in bed at any time as long as the emperor is willing.

But speaking of it, the harems of the Daliang Dynasty were always very full, and concubines like Xiao Yu were actually nothing.

His grandfather, Emperor Zhenzong, had only three thousand beauties. In order to accommodate his concubines, he expanded the palace several times, which led to the censors submitting memorials every day to urge him to release the concubines.

In comparison, Xiao Yu was considered restrained.

He was one of the few diligent emperors in history.

Fei Wan lowered her head and saluted upwards.

She felt the gazes of all the concubines in the hall directed towards her.

Some are curious, some are surprised, some are sarcastic, and some just watch from the sidelines.

They looked at her, and she looked at them in her mind.

"It's just toys."

No one is nobler than anyone else.

However, they fought tooth and nail for the ranks and positions deliberately set up by the royal family.

"What's wrong with you? As my maid, you come to see the Empress in such an untidy manner. Go back quickly and don't embarrass me!"

The first to take action was Yu Tingjin.

When she saw Fei Wan like this, she knew that Yun Cui had acted too early.

The virtuous concubine and others teamed up to force the queen to summon Fei Wan for instruction, which was really beyond her expectations.

Otherwise, she would never have left Yun Cui behind to deal with Fei Wan.

But even so, won't this slut maid tidy up her hair and accessories before coming back?

This is done to make her look good!

The only thing to do now is to get Fei Wan away first, smooth things over, and then settle the score with Fei Wan behind her back.

She hurriedly stood up and walked forward, wanting to scold Fei Wan to leave.

Halfway through, Lan Zhaoyi grabbed his sleeve.

"Don't be angry, Your Majesty. This maidservant looks so frightened and timid. If you scold her again, what will happen if she gets frightened? After all, she has served Your Majesty and is your right-hand man. Not only you, but we all feel sorry for her."

The concubine Jian beside her chimed in:

"The Empress's maidservants are the best at dressing up, so let this maid fix her appearance here. This will save her from having to go back and wash up, which would waste time. I can't let the Empress scold her and have her wait for a long time. Sister Imperial Concubine, don't you agree?"

"Who is your sister? Is there any hierarchy?"

Yu Tingjin frowned and turned hostile on the spot.

Although she openly scolded Concubine Jian, she also criticized Concubine Xian, who was like her sister.

The imperial concubine was ranked above the virtuous concubine, but the virtuous concubine often called her sister because of her family background and seniority.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. It was my fault for speaking out of turn."

The virtuous concubine did not respond, so Concubine Jian squatted down and apologized, and there was nothing wrong with her.

Lan Zhaoyi, who was standing by, was holding her sleeve affectionately and wouldn't let go.

Yu Tingjin has always displayed an innocent nature, showing his emotions on his face, and it is common for him to lose his temper in public.

But facing the sticky Lan Zhaoyi, she couldn't get too angry.

Otherwise it is not innocence, but domineering.

She has always been very careful about what she does, but now she is being taken advantage of by others.

These two concubines are both on the side of Concubine Xian, and have always sided with Concubine Xian to oppose her.

She was very angry.

At this time, Fei Wan had been helped up by the maid of Concubine Xian and led to the center of the venue, where she could face the concubines more clearly.

Everyone had already seen her red and swollen cheeks.

At this moment, the cuffs that were deliberately opened began to drip with blood, falling drop by drop onto the exquisite and gorgeous brocade carpet.

Causing exclamations.

"Oh, what happened!"

"You've even soiled the Empress's golden carpet!"

"This was one of the birthday gifts His Majesty specially gave to Your Majesty last year."

"My queen treasures it so much, she's only taken it out to spread it a few times..."

The queen watched the battle in the palace silently.

At this moment, he couldn't help but frown slightly, and a hint of anger appeared on his graceful and calm face.

"What exactly is going on?"

She asked solemnly.
