In the years of famine, I was well versed in history and pampered the Northern Army

Chu Qingyin was in a trance just now, but she came back to her senses immediately after hearing the Queen's call.

"Your humble servant greets Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness Prince Jing."

She had just performed a very proper salute, and Lu Yan's eyes had never left her.

"I know you're from the countryside and don't know a lot about etiquette. It's okay even if you don't. Although I'm officially the Empress, you know how close I am to your mother. No matter what mistakes you make in my presence, you won't be punished."

This was the first time that the Queen Mother spoke with such confidence. She really wanted to reassure Chu Qingyin, a newcomer to the palace. Indeed, compared to other noble ladies who had just entered the palace, Chu Qingyin was already much more relaxed.

"Thank you, Empress, for your concern."

In fact, she could also see that there seemed to be some fear and trance in Chu Qingyin's expression. It was probably the first time she had seen such a bloody scene in the palace.

"Alright, Lady Li, stop hitting me. It's just a bracelet. I'll give it to you as a reward."

In order not to scare Chu Qingyin, he decided to send this person away.

Although she usually doesn't care about these things, and is always overshadowed by the Imperial Concubine, except for the Imperial Concubine, everyone else in the palace has to listen to her.

She had never thought that the Empress would intervene even when she was merely teaching a lesson to one of her personal maids. However, Li Guiren knew the Empress's authority better, so she quickly knelt down:

"Yes, it's my fault for not disciplining you well enough."

After saying this, she hurriedly took the maid beside her away, and the two of them left.

"Qingyin has never been to the palace before and doesn't know the rules here. Are you scared?"

Chu Qingyin quickly denied:

"That's not the case. Your Majesty, you're worrying too much. I simply didn't sleep well yesterday, and now I've lost my composure. I beg for your forgiveness, Your Majesty."

Maybe it was because he was still in shock. Even though he knew that the Queen was so kind to him, she still had too many rules.

The Queen sighed. They originally wanted to walk together, but they bumped into a princess head-on.

"I didn't expect to be so lucky today. I can see the Queen in person and ask her how she is."

Although she said this, her tone and demeanor did not show any respect at all.

Chu Qingyin thought to herself, who on earth is this? How dare they be so disrespectful to the Empress! It's okay for the Imperial Concubine to be so arrogant, but her dress regulations are just for a little princess, and she can be like this.

The Queen Mother did not respond to his words. Seeing this person stand up directly, without even waiting for the Queen Mother to reply, he began to criticize Chu Qingyin:

"If this princess is not mistaken, this girl in front of me is the daughter that the Xu family found... They really bring anyone into the palace."

The meaning of her words was unclear, but the provocation was already very strong.

"What do you mean?"

Normally, the Queen never gets angry.

"Oh, I always thought the Queen was like a Bodhisattva and would never get angry..."

Her face was full of provocation, and Chu Qingye was even more confused. When did such a person appear in the palace who was not afraid of the Queen at all? She didn't expect that even a small quilt could be stepped on by Queen Hong. She didn't dare to imagine what kind of life Lu Yan's mother led in the palace.

"Today, you actually got angry over a country woman like this. I advise you not to spend too much time with a country woman like this. Otherwise, your already limited glory will be further diminished."

These words were all provocative. Seeing that the Queen's face was about to turn pale with anger, Chu Qingyin was the first to reply:

"Your Highness, I wish to greet you. I'm new here and don't know your title, but I do know that the Empress is a truly beautiful woman. As the mother of the nation, if even the Empress doesn't have much glory, how much do you have?"

Seeing the person in front of me stuttering, I wanted to start a reply:

"you you……"

"I never thought that the first time I came to the harem, I would have to follow such a rule. I wonder if this is just for you, Your Highness, facing the Empress, or if it should be the same for the entire palace? Is this the attitude personally designated by His Majesty?"

Before she could finish her words, Chu Qingyin's words of super fighting power came out one after another. Seeing the face of the person in front of her turned green with anger, she still had to reply for the sake of His Majesty's dignity:

"What are the rules? Since these are the unified rules for all public institutions, we are all following the will of His Majesty."

"So that's what the Master wants you to do to the Queen."

Prince Jing, the Queen and Master Xu beside them all felt happy when they saw Chu Qingyin being so eloquent.

It seems that Chu Qingyin must be living in fear when she is alone on weekdays, so it is good that she can show off her power in the palace today.

This princess has a high status, after all, she is raised in the Empress Dowager's room. But if you look at it, she is just a princess. It is extremely bold and unreasonable for her to treat the Empress Dowager like this. Even if the Empress Dowager comes, she has no reason to refute her.

"Who said that? That's not what I meant..."

Chu Qingyin smiled faintly:

"Justice is in the hearts of the people, Your Highness, we all understand what you mean."

After saying this, the group of people turned around and left without even caring about anything, leaving the former princess alone and jumping in anger.

"Your name is Xu Qingyin, right? I'll remember you. Just wait for me."

After they left, Xu Qingyin began to ask with some doubt:

"But I'm very curious, what is the background of this princess, that she can treat the Queen like this?"

"This princess is from the Queen Mother's chamber. The Queen Mother's power is now complex and intertwined, and the Emperor doesn't really care about government affairs. Most of the people in the court are the Queen Mother's people, even the Imperial Concubine."

Now Qingyin was no longer confused. With the Empress Dowager, the power of the previous dynasty, and the Imperial Concubine, he was certainly not afraid of so many people backing him up. It was just a quarrel. Even if he was really arrested, he would just lift him up high and put him down gently.

Even if the emperor wanted to punish him, he probably wouldn't be able to do so.

"But having said that, I am still very grateful to Qingyin for speaking up for me. There are many people who interact with me on a daily basis, but only my son, your mother, and you are willing to support me. This is enough to show that you have a pure heart and are sincere for me."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qingyin bowed hurriedly:

"You are the mother of the nation. How can I bear to see you humiliated like this?"
