Zhou Shiya's face looked extremely ugly. She wanted to lose her temper and scold Zhou Lingge harshly to demonstrate her power as the mother of the nation.

However, she remembered the big event she was planning tonight.

She had to suppress her anger.

We can’t let the big thing be ruined just because of Yu Changzai.

A little lack of patience will ruin a big plan... She just endured it.

Zhou Shiya maintained the dignity and elegance of a mother of a country, and she pulled the corners of her stiff lips.

"It is I who am biased..."

Unexpectedly, before she could finish her sentence, Zhou Lingge took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.

Her voice was even choked with sobs: "I know... why my elder sister protects and indulges Concubine Yu. My elder sister must be angry. I have been favored by Your Majesty, so she must be a little angry with me, right?"

"Don't be upset, sister. I just advised His Majesty to treat everyone equally. For this, I even refused His Majesty entry. His Majesty must be angry with me now. Although I have been granted the title of Consort, I am not far from falling out of favor. Don't worry, sister. I will affect your status... Compared to you, I am just an insignificant ant."

"Over the years, my elder sister and mother have taught me strictly. I have always kept your kindness in my heart. Don't worry, elder sister, if there is anything you care about or don't like... I will never offend you. I am the daughter of the Zhou family, so naturally the Zhou family and my status as elder sister come first."

As soon as Zhou Lingge finished speaking, he knelt down respectfully on the ground and kowtowed to Zhou Lingge.

Zhou Shiya was completely confused by her series of actions.

This bitch…she’s acting again.

Is she going to play the role of a loving sister who is willing to compromise with her, or is she going to play herself as a weak and helpless poor concubine?

Zhou Shiya was angry and felt unhappy.

Even more angry than before.

Bitch...damn it!

Sure enough, the next moment, the eyes of those women looking at Zhou Lingge changed.

They whispered, "This Concubine Jia doesn't seem that arrogant or domineering."

"Yes, it seems she is still afraid of the Queen."

"Why wouldn't she be afraid... The Queen is her eldest sister, and she's just a concubine of the Zhou family. The Zhou family's power is crucial in the Jin Dynasty. If she provokes the Queen, the Zhou family can probably crush her to death with just a flick of their finger."

Zhou Lingge seemed to have heard the whispers of these women. She shook her body at the right time, her eyes full of fear and panic.

She even kowtowed to Zhou Shiya: "Eldest sister, calm down... From now on, I will obey you in everything. If you ask me to seize the favor of Your Majesty, then I will seize it. If you ask me to compete for your favor, then I will compete..."

Zhou Shiya's eyebrows couldn't help but throb wildly.

Nanny Zhou quickly signaled to Zhou Shiya to let Zhou Lingge get up quickly... Otherwise, these guests would think that the Queen was really manipulating Concubine Jia.

This Concubine Jia is so cunning and difficult to deal with.

Zhou Shiya held her breath and used a lot of effort to suppress her anger.

She tried her best to appear amiable and congenial: "Ge'er, look at you...what are you doing? You are now Consort Jia, so don't kowtow to me like that...Madame Zhou, quickly help Consort Jia up."

Nanny Zhou hurriedly and respectfully went to support Zhou Lingge.

Zhou Lingge thanked him with tears of gratitude and stood up weakly.

The man who was so arrogant just now became so timid and cowardly in front of the queen.

Everyone understood and looked at each other.

This queen is so powerful!

Isn't it the Zhou family and the Queen's intention that Concubine Jia is favored?

All of this is controlled by the Queen and the Zhou family.

Although Zhou Shiya smiled gently on the surface, she was actually so angry that she was about to vomit blood.

"Now that you've become Consort Jia, you're His Majesty's woman. It's up to you to decide how to act in the future. How can I influence you? Father and Mother won't put pressure on you..."

Mrs. Zhou forced a smile and nodded to make her position clear.

"Yes, our Zhou family has always been tolerant of Concubine Jia..."

If you look closely, you can see that her palms are almost scratched by her sharp nails.

Zhou Lingge finally smiled and cautiously asked Zhou Shiya, "So, was it right or wrong for me to slap Yu Changzai just now?"

Zhou Shiya was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

But she still had to pretend to be magnanimous, gentle and virtuous: "Empress Jia did nothing wrong, it was me who just misjudged it. Ge'er, it's my elder sister who is sorry for you. I apologize to you."

In the end, she, a queen, had to apologize to this concubine's daughter. It really made her angry to death.

But she still had to endure it.

Just wait, after today... Zhou Lingge will never be able to jump again.

She would just tolerate this bitch for one more night.

"Come... drag Concubine Yu away. She dared to offend Concubine Jia. Twenty slaps will not be enough. She should be banished to the cold palace..."

Yu Changzai rolled his eyes, wailed in despair, and fainted on the spot.

Qiao'er had already finished giving twenty slaps.

She took a handkerchief and wiped the blood off her hands without blinking.

The palace maid quickly dragged Yu Changzai up and took her away from the palace banquet.

Zhou Lingge won this storm.

She laughed so hard her body shook with laughter... She had completely changed her previous timidity and fawned over Zhou Shiya, as if she could change her expression: "Eldest sister, you enforce the law impartially and without partiality... This is the demeanor of a mother of a country."

Zhou Shiya endured the bloody smell rising in her throat and quickly asked Nanny Zhou to help Zhou Lingge to sit down.

She shouldn't have interfered in Yu Changzai's affairs just now.

Zhou Lingge is really amazing... She kept her composure and used her strength to bully the strong... and she managed to turn the tables on her.

Good, really good!

Zhou Lingge is now a concubine with a title. Her position is the highest among all the others except the empress and concubine.

Shufei sat on the left side of the queen, so she slowly sat down on the right side of the queen.

She twisted her slender waist and leaned back in the armchair. She looked charming and gorgeous... and waved an exquisitely embroidered round fan. She looked just like the legendary concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people.

Concubine Li sat down below Zhou Lingge instead. Her chest was heaving with anger. She gritted her teeth and stared at Zhou Lingge's profile.

She has been with Your Majesty since he was the crown prince.

She also gave birth to His Majesty's first child.

Now, she was the only concubine in the harem with children. She had endured for so many years and was only granted the title of concubine after she had a child.

But what about Zhou Lingge?

She had no children... and no achievements, but in just half a month, he managed to surpass her, climb over her head, and become taller than her.

Concubine Li was very unwilling and angry.

But there was nothing she could do.

Your Majesty now favors Zhou Lingge... Anyone who goes against Zhou Lingge will be in trouble.

Concubine Li looked at Concubine Shu who was sitting opposite her and had been silent.

After Luo Da Ying died, Concubine Shu became a completely different person. She became silent and taciturn, as if all her energy had been drained out of her.

Shufei seemed to have lost the desire to compete for favor.

Zhou Lingge waved her round fan. She naturally felt the jealous gaze from Concubine Li... However, it was not only Concubine Li who was jealous, all the other concubines in the palace were jealous of her.

So she doesn't care at all!

Since ancient times, this has been the situation faced by favored concubines.

She is not afraid, nor is she scared!

Suddenly, Zhou Lingge felt an extremely hot gaze, which was cast directly on her through the hazy screen.

Zhou Lingge seemed to sense something and slowly turned his head... meeting the man's gaze.

Han Mubai!

he came.

She hadn't seen him for a long, long time.

She could hardly remember what he looked like.
