"Noble Lady Yu, next time before you say something like that, think about yourself first. Don't take advantage of your status as a noble lady and the birth of a prince to casually accuse others."

A Ruo looked at Gao Xiyue with gratitude. This woman whom she once hated was now speaking for her.

This feeling is amazing.

It was true that she had actively seduced the emperor, but she could not have this reputation.

Gao Xiyue didn't respond to her at all. This level of fighting was meaningless to her. She just couldn't stand Hailan biting like a mad dog.

Langya looked quietly at Hailan's humiliated expression, with no intention of stopping Gao Xiyue.

She didn't understand where Hailan's humiliation came from, even though what she said to A Ruo was equally unpleasant.

"Zhao Yitai, drag this troublemaker palace maid away and give her fifty slaps across the face."

"The Queen..."

"It's better for Concubine Xian to keep your mouth shut. If you don't discipline your subordinates, you will be fined three months' salary as a minor punishment and a major warning."

"Noble Lady Yu has casually implicated a concubine in the imperial court. Effective immediately, she will be demoted to a concubine."

Hailan's fingers on her knees shrank, and she felt a sense of loss in her heart.

A concubine? She had been a concubine since she first entered the palace, and after all the hardships, she was back to her old ways.

Ruyi pouted and said nothing, her eyebrows raised even higher.

She now lives only on her salary, and the Queen seems to be deliberately making things difficult for her by fining her salary every time.

But this kind of punishment seems extremely lenient, and no one can find any fault with it.

Ruyi's heart beat with a crisp sound, and she secretly remembered the grievances Rong Pei had suffered today.

I will definitely get it back for her with interest in the future.

Hailan knelt on the ground and looked down at the round and beautiful stone under her knees. The grievance in her heart suddenly burst out.

For so many years, from the Qiandi Palace to the harem, she has been by her sister's side without fighting or competing, but still has not won the kindness of these people.

The high and mighty imperial concubine and queen still looked down on her, and she and her sister were isolated and helpless in the palace.

There is also a traitor like A Ruo around her. If she doesn't stand up and resist, she and her sister will have to endure such humiliation again and again.

Watching Rong Pei being beaten, Su Yun huddled there in fear, trying hard to reduce his presence.

After Zhao Yitai executed the sentence, he pulled Rong Pei back. Her face was swollen and blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth.

"Common saying? It's true that you fought with someone in the Imperial Garden, but it can be considered as an act of loyalty and protection of the master. Slapping him in the face is fined, but a one-month salary deduction will serve as a lesson for the future."

Su Yun's trembling body finally stopped, and he kowtowed several times with particularly strong kowtows.

"Thank you very much, Queen, for your grace."

A simple encounter caused Ruyi to suffer heavy losses, and Suyun's words were deeply imprinted in her heart.

She needs to have the right to assist in managing the harem so that she won't be passive when facing the enemy.

Ruyi did not receive any positive emotional feedback, and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​competing with others.

She stayed in the Yanxi Palace to take care of her pregnancy, and occasionally embroidered some handkerchiefs to supplement her expenses.

Hai Lan was a little surprised that Ruyi liked embroidery so much, but she never thought too much about it when it came to Ruyi.

She sent all the handkerchiefs she had embroidered to him at once and continued to work hard.

Hailan has good craftsmanship and can make a lot of money by selling her works outside the palace. For a while, she was able to cover Ruyi's expenses.

When Ye Xin came over again to deliver clothes to the Fifth Prince, she ran into Rong Pei head-on.

The two of them didn't have much contact, so she wanted to just say hello and leave.

Unexpectedly, Rong Pei walked up to Ye Xin with a gloomy face and grabbed the clothes from her hand.

"Miss Ye Xin, there are some things we servants shouldn't say, but I really can't stand it any longer."

"The Emperor has already ordered that Concubine Xian be the one to raise the Fifth Prince. This is clearly recorded in the Imperial Book. Concubine Xian is kind and has a good relationship with your master."

"But even so, shouldn't Concubine Yu keep some distance from the Fifth Prince? Is it really necessary to wait until the Fifth Prince grows up and then become estranged from Concubine Xian?"

Ye Xin's hand was still stretched in the air, maintaining the same posture as before.

Before she could recover from the other party's sudden action, she was stunned by Rong Pei's rapid-fire words.

Then she realized that the other party was dissatisfied with her coming too frequently.

But the Fifth Prince was not given much attention by Concubine Xian, and the palace servants who served him were perfunctory. How could she not feel distressed?

My master gave birth to this prince at the risk of his life so that Concubine Xian could have a place in the palace.

Yet now we still have to be on guard against each other. How can this be justified in the world?

Her eyes immediately turned red and she started arguing with Rong Pei.

"Since you know you are a servant, you should do your duty as a servant. How can you make decisions for your master?"

"Her Majesty Xianpin and I have always been on good terms. She allowed you to visit the Fifth Prince. If you have such an idea, why don't you go to heaven?!"

"Crack! Crack!"

Ye Xin covered his face and looked at Rong Pei opposite him in disbelief. He didn't expect her to be so cruel.

They would start fighting after a few quarrels, and even the ladies in the palace would not hit the palace maids in the face.

She turned around and rushed out, and bumped into惢心 after a few steps.

"What happened? Why are you crying like this and your face is red? Who did this?"

Ye Xin did not answer惢心's words. He looked back angrily, said just one word, and continued walking forward.

"You'd better be more careful in the future. Rong Pei is simply unreasonable."

When Hai Lan saw Ye Xin coming in crying, she quickly put down the embroidery in her hand.

In this palace, apart from her sister, the person who has spent the longest time with her is Ye Xin, and the relationship between the two is also very deep.

"Ye Xin? Who did this?!"

After listening to Ye Xin's crying, Hai Lan fell into the chair helplessly.

"Ye Xin, do you think this is what my sister meant? Or is that palace maid just talking nonsense?"

Ye Xin leaned on Hai Lan's knees and cried until she was hoarse. For so many years, she had watched her master being so sincere to Concubine Xian.

"Master, it's already this late. Open your eyes and take a look. Which palace maid would dare to sow discord between the masters like this? Every personal maid is a mouthpiece for the master!"

Ye Xin's cries shook Hai Lan's resolve.

But at this moment,惢心 walked in holding a few shoe patterns, and the palace maid behind her was holding a pot of orchid in her arms.

"Greetings to Yu Changzai."

"Our master already knows what happened. Concubine Xian has severely reprimanded Rong Pei and has specially asked this servant to bring you some apology."

"Our queen is not feeling well, so I asked this servant to bring you a message. The Fifth Prince has two mothers who love him, and that will never change."

Before she could finish her words, Hailan's eyes were already filled with tears of emotion, and the few doubts that had just emerged in her mind disappeared in an instant.

"Sister is feeling unwell. Is it serious? Do you want me to go and see her?"

"No need for you, Lady Yu. The Queen has just taken the medicine and is already asleep."

Hailan breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't let go of the orchid the other party had given her.

"Tell my sister that I'm not angry. I'll go see her later."

惢心 glanced at Ye Xin's face worriedly. The dead silence in the other's eyes was so familiar.
