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

"Do I need your help with my schedule?"

The emperor flew into a rage without warning.

He threw the tea bowl in his hand to the ground.

The tea splashed all over Cui Liang's neck.

The heat made him shiver.

But he didn't dare to breathe, he just knelt down with his head touching the ground.

All the palace servants in the hall knelt down.

The emperor was so furious that no one dared to even say "Your Majesty, please calm down", including Cao Bin.

The emperor threw the tea bowl, stood up, and strode around the hall with his hands behind his back, back and forth, like a falcon trying to break free from its chains.

Suddenly he stopped.

A moment of silence.

He gave the order: "Go to Fengyi Palace!"

He didn't care whether the palace servants had prepared the sedan chair or not, and strode out on his own.

Cao Bin got up and led his men to chase after them.

Despite his busy schedule, he still gave his adopted son a kick.

He shouted, "Get out! Don't appear before the Emperor for five days!"

The group finally caught up with the emperor halfway and persuaded him to sit in the sedan chair. The eunuchs carrying the sedan chair did not dare to neglect and ran towards Fengyi Palace.

However, when they arrived at Fengyi Palace, the queen was not there.

The palace servant guarding the gate said that the queen had gone to Ciyu Palace to serve the empress dowager.

The emperor sneered faintly and turned to Ciyu Palace.

At this moment.

The atmosphere in Changle Palace was quite relaxed.

In the spacious backyard, a medium-sized stage was temporarily built.

The well-known Beijing opera troupe "Fu Family Troupe", which is preparing to perform at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, is doing a trial singing on the stage.

The gongs and drums were loud, the actors were singing, reciting, and performing in a lively manner.

The doors and windows of the open pavilion were all open. In the center of the hall sat the virtuous concubine in a large, gilded armchair. On either side sat several rows of concubines, all of whom were from the Changle Palace or were close friends of the Changle Palace. Each of them, accompanied by their maids and surrounded by beautiful women, happily followed the virtuous concubine to the opera.

This is not the case of Concubine Xian overstepping her bounds and enjoying herself before the Empress Dowager.

Just because the Queen is "sick" now, the full responsibility for the birthday banquet has been taken over by Concubine Xian.

The Fu family troupe was recommended by Concubine Xian.

So it was only natural for her to take a look at the Fu family troupe's rehearsal in advance to ensure that nothing went wrong on the birthday party day.

Fei Wan was invited by Concubine Xian to watch the show among the concubines.

Her position was not very high, she was only a fifth-rank noble lady, and she was not even qualified to sit in a seat during the morning and evening visits in Fengyi Palace.

However, she was arranged by Concubine Xian to sit in the first row at the bottom, next to Concubine Lan Zhaoyi and Concubine Jian, two people who were dependent on Concubine Xian and had relatively high ranks.

It attracted a lot of eyebrows.

Concubine Jian was right next to Fei Wan, with a half-smile on her face. When she glanced at Fei Wan, her eyes were not very friendly.

No wonder.

After all, this time, regarding the banned drug incident, on the night of the incident, she was fined on the spot by the emperor and a sign was hung prohibiting her from sleeping with the emperor because she followed Yuan and others in criticizing Fei Wan and Zhi Shu.

It would be strange if she could be friendly.

Fei Wan ignored her and turned a blind eye to her sharp eyes, concentrating on listening to the opera with Concubine Xian.

Finally, Concubine Jian couldn't bear it anymore.

When the palace maids of Changle Palace served fresh honeydew melon to everyone, she smiled coldly and said:

"I don't want it. Give this plate of mine to Concubine Zhao and let her eat as much as she can."

The little palace maid who brought the melon placed Concubine Jian’s melon on Fei Wan’s table.

Fei Wan had two plates, turned to Concubine Jian, smiled slightly, and nodded:

"Thank you."

Then he turned around and continued listening to the opera.

Seeing that she had no reaction, Concubine Jian finally lost her composure and taunted her cheerfully, "Eat quickly, eat more. After eating this time, I wonder if there will be a next time."

The gongs and drums are loud.

Concubine Jian did not raise her voice deliberately, so only a few people nearby could hear her.

Lan Zhaoyi beside her turned her head and frowned slightly at her.

But Concubine Jian was busy glaring at Fei Wan and didn't see it.

Fei Wan's clear and gentle eyes looked at Concubine Jian curiously: "You mean, this honeydew melon is also as rare as the rouge brocade, so it will be hard to find this year?"

Concubine Jian was so angry that she couldn't help but snort coldly.

She secretly thought to herself, "How dare this bitch mention Rouge Brocade! She's clearly showing off her favor. His Majesty gave her the Rouge Brocade, which is not much in total, and no one else got it!"

"Whether it's rouge brocade or honeydew melon, whether you have it or not, I'm afraid it will have nothing to do with you in the future." Concubine Jian approached Fei Wan coolly and said with a smile, "The Queen Mother is dissatisfied with you for causing gossip throughout the court and the country. How many more days of good life can you have, Sister Zhao?"

Fei Wan took a breath of cold air.

He opened his eyes wide and dodged backwards suddenly.

Obviously overly frightened.

"Madam Jian, what you said... is it true? The Queen Mother really doesn't like me. Even if someone pleads for me, will the Queen Mother still not tolerate me?"

Concubine Jian raised her eyebrows: "What do you think?"

"Her Majesty, help me!"

Fei Wan burst into tears, stood up, and staggered towards the virtuous concubine who was sitting in the main seat.

This actually scared Concubine Jian.

"what are you doing……"

It was too late to hold her back.

Everyone was listening to the opera happily.

Fei Wan's crying and throwing herself on the ground immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Especially since her knee was "injured", she stumbled and almost fell into the arms of Concubine Xian.

Linglong, who was standing beside Concubine Xian, quickly supported Feiwan.

"Master Zhao, what's wrong with you..."

Fei Wan's tears streamed down her face, quickly wetting her veil, and her watery eyes were filled with fear.

"Her Majesty, please save me! I don't want to die!"

The virtuous concubine frowned, "How can you say that? Who wants you to die?"

Fei Wan cried, "It was Concubine Jian who said that. She told me that the Queen Mother was dissatisfied with my reputation and that she wanted to get rid of me... She even gave me her own honeydew melon. I'm afraid that if I die one day, I won't be able to eat it anymore!"

She cried heartily.

The fear is also real.

This made Concubine Xian so angry that she fell backwards.

He angrily looked at the already flustered Concubine Jian and said, "You are talking nonsense for no reason!"

Not to mention that she also wants to take advantage of Fei Wan's favor.

Even if Fei Wan was useless to her, how could Concubine Jian openly discuss who the Queen Mother wanted to get rid of? Wouldn't that just cause trouble for her? Everyone knew that Concubine Jian was always by her side!

"My Lady, it's not like that. I didn't..."

Concubine Jian made incoherent excuses.

Lan Zhaoyi interrupted her, "Sister Jian, you probably didn't sleep well last night and are feeling sleepy. I noticed your eyelids were drooping just now. Why don't you go back to your own palace and catch up on some sleep? This play is just a rehearsal. Why don't you listen to the whole performance on the actual birthday banquet day?"

The virtuous concubine looked unhappy.

Lan Zhaoyi suppressed and reminded him again.

Concubine Jian didn't dare to say anything more. She reluctantly explained that "it was all a misunderstanding", apologized quickly, and left in embarrassment.

Lan Zhaoyi looked at her from behind and thought to herself, "How stupid!"

What kind of person is Concubine Zhao? After so many incidents, doesn't she know how powerful she is? She actually dared to take advantage of the Queen Mother's dissatisfaction with Concubine Zhao and take advantage of the situation.

Being so impatient will only cause trouble for the virtuous concubine!

"Sister Zhao, come back and sit down to listen to the opera, and stop crying."

Lan Zhaoyi stood up personally and persuaded Fei Wan to return to her seat.

Explain to her that Concubine Jian made the wrong joke and ask her not to take it seriously.

"No, it's not true? The Queen Mother really won't punish the concubines?"

Fei Wan put on a complete show. She cried not only to trick Concubine Jian, but also to see the attitudes of the other people present.
