The status was determined, and Langya also sent people to clean up Xiefang Palace, with palace servants coming in and out.

Jingqin didn't understand what Langya was busy with, and she was bored and played building blocks with Yonglian and Jingse.

Not long after, Langya came in and told Yonglian, "Yonglian, go to Xiefang Palace..."

Jingqin interrupted, "Mother, what are you talking about? Why did Yonglian want to go to Xiefang Palace?"

Langya looked reluctant, but she also said seriously: "Jingqin, you don't understand. It's the ancestral rule for the brothers to go to Xiefang Palace."

Jingqin was helpless. No wonder Yonglian and Yongcong were killed in the previous life, and Langya was still ignorant.

Jingqin said coldly, "Mother, where did this ancestral rule come from? Why haven't I heard that the Emperor's father's descendants live in Xiefang Palace? Even the third uncle lived in Empress Qi's palace and only moved to Xiefang Palace after Empress Qi passed away."

Langya was interrupted for a moment, but still insisted, "Of course it's the rule of Emperor Shengzu of the Qing Dynasty. All of his descendants went to Xiefang Palace at a very young age."

Jingqin was furious and asked, "How many children did Emperor Shengzu of the Qing Dynasty die? Can Emperor Shengzu's legitimate son live in Xiefang Palace? Since Emperor Shengzu's method is effective, why doesn't the emperor's method work?"

Langya was stunned and stammered, "This..."

Jingqin continued, "Emperor Kangxi lost 11 princes to infancy! How could the Empress Dowager be so confident that she could protect Yonglian?"

Jingqin thought to herself, this was the method that killed Yonglian. Langya kept coming in and out of Xiefang Palace, and later she laid off palace maids. It could be said that Yonglian was definitely harmed by Langya.

Langya didn't think so much about it. She sent the princes to Xiefang Palace early just to make it easier to control them. All the people in Xiefang Palace were hers, so it would be easy to cripple the princes.

She even used Yonglian as a shield and let the prince live in Xiefang Palace for the sake of her own reputation.

The more Langya thought about it, the more proud she became of her method. Instead, she angrily rebuked him, "Jingqin! Mother is doing this for Yonglian's own good!"

Jingqin was not afraid of Fucha Langya's reaction, so she simply said, "Mother wants to control the emperor's offspring, right? But she didn't want Yonglian to go, which would be too obvious, so she let Yonglian go."

Langya was embarrassed and angry at being seen through, and shouted angrily: "Jingqin!"

Jingqin continued, "Mother, don't you think about it! Yonglian is the legitimate son, and he is the thorn in the eyes of all the concubines with sons! You want to use Xiefang Palace to control the prince. Don't the other concubines want to use Xiefang Palace to harm Yonglian?

The concubines with children had their attendant maids poison Yonglian. The concubines without children were even less afraid and directly spread the disease to the servants in Xiefang Palace, catching them all in one fell swoop! By then, how could my mother, who was in charge of Xiefang Palace, escape?

Lang Ya was horrified and screamed, "How is this possible!"

Jingqin continued, "How is it impossible? The Empress Dowager wants to use Xiefang Palace to harm the prince, and others also want to use Xiefang Palace to harm Yonglian. Can the Empress Dowager stop it?

The Empress Dowager only has one prince, Yonglian. The concubines of the previous dynasty took great care of their only son, fearing that something might happen to him. Even Empress Qi taught the Third Prince to prioritize his health. Why is the Empress Dowager putting the cart before the horse?"

Langya was persuaded, sat down slowly, and sent people to remove the decorations in Xiefang Palace. Jingqin was right, she could not take risks with Yonglian. Yonglian might be her only legitimate son in this life. If something happened to Yonglian, what would be the use of her plan?

Greetings the next day,

Langya did not mention sending the prince to Xiefang Palace, which made Fu Cha Chu Ying and Su Lujun, who had sons, breathe a sigh of relief.

Come back again,

Since the concubines moved to the palace, some were happy and some were sad.

It was obvious that the Queen had separated Qingying's camp from hers, which made Jin Yuyan, who was alone in the East Six Palaces, very puzzled.

When Jin Yuyan was puzzled, she quickly came to Changchun Palace to chat with Fu Cha Langya, Gao Xiyue and Huang Qiying.

Gao Xiyue proudly put on the fur coat given by the Queen and said happily, "Thank you, Queen, for assigning me to the Yikun Palace. The Yikun Palace is very gorgeous."

Huang Qiying also echoed: "Chuxiu Palace is also very elegant. Concubine and Wan Ying both like it very much."

Langya: "As long as you like it."

Jin Yuyan: "Why doesn't the Queen let me live with you? I also want to live in the West Six Palaces."

Fu Cha Langya had already thought of a set of rhetoric, and she comforted him, "The six palaces in the East are all on good terms with Qingying, and I don't know anyone there. But Xiyue is lively and Qiying is gentle, neither of them can compete with her.

Only you, Yuyan, you are thoughtful and sociable. I have arranged for you to stay in the East Six Palaces, firstly to let you gather information, and secondly to let you replace Qingying. "

Fucha Langya: You understand, right? One of them is dumb, the other is dull, and you are the smartest. I entrust you with a great responsibility.

Kim Yu-yeon: I understand!

Jin Yuyan: "Replace Qingying?"

Fu Cha Langya: "Yes, although Qingying is favored by the emperor, she is only a concubine after all. Except for Qingying, the backgrounds of the people in the East Six Palaces are not as good as yours. And you are a noble lady, you are only one step away from being a concubine.

You are a noble lady from the Northern Dynasty. If you can make merit for the Northern Dynasty and give birth to a son, you will be able to overthrow Qingying. By then, won't you have the final say in the Six Eastern Palaces? "

Fucha Langya: I'm just making empty promises

Jin Yuyan: Defeat Qingying and become the master.

Jin Yuyan was happy and said cheerfully, "Thank you very much, Queen, for your consideration."

Jin Yuyan's problem was solved, and Huang Qiying also wanted to ask: "Empress, will Wan agree to her?"

Fucha Langya replied, "She is not favored by the Emperor, but she is an honest and dutiful woman. I have arranged for her to be in your palace. You don't need to do anything. Just don't torture her. She is just taking up a position in your palace."

Huang Qiying understood, so she just gave her a vase and told her to place it however she wanted.

Huang Qiying nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Ending this meeting,

Fucha Langya went to be painted with the emperor.

However, due to their busy official duties, Langya and Hongli only sat for a while, let Lang Shining draw some outlines, and then hurriedly parted.

Ruyi somehow got the news and rushed to see Lang Shining painting. Qingying arrived but did not see the emperor. Instead, she saw Li Yu and Lianxin dressed in the emperor's and empress's robes, sitting upright while Lang Shining painted.

Lianxin saw Qingying coming and ignored her.

Li Yu wanted to jump up and said, "Master Xian? Why are you here?"

Ruyi smiled faintly and said, "I heard that the Emperor and Empress wanted to be included in the painting, so I came to see it."

Lian Xin was speechless. What are we observing? Are we monkeys?

When Ruyi saw that it was Li Yu and Lianxin, she left with a smile on her face. When she left, she bumped into Lang Shining who was coming back from getting paint.

Lang Shining looked up and saw Ruyi in gorgeous clothes. He said quickly, "Your servant Lang Shining, I'm honored... I'm honored..."

Ah Ruo continued, "Empress Xianpin."

Lang Shining continued, "Yes... Your Highness Lang Shining greets Her Majesty Xianpin."

Ruyi smiled faintly and said, "I've heard of your name for a long time, Sir Lang."

Lang Shining apologized, "I'm very sorry. I've been in the palace for many years, but I still can't recognize the ladies. This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful lady."

Ruyi smiled and continued, "A wife can be in the painting with the emperor, but a concubine cannot. My Lord, you can remember this."

Lang Shining replied, "I have been here for so many years, but I still cannot tell the difference between a wife and a concubine."

Ruyi was surprised and asked, "Don't you have concubines?"

Lang Shining smiled and said, "No, in my hometown, a husband can only have one wife."

Ruyi said enviously, "That's great! What if they want to separate?"

Lang Shining replied, "In my hometown, a man can leave a wife he no longer loves, and a woman can leave a husband she no longer loves."

Ruyi was even more envious and asked, "Can women do this?"

Lang Shining replied: "Of course, women can also leave on their own initiative."

Ruyi felt that she had met Lang Shining too late and asked many questions. A Ruo, who was standing by, was afraid that Ruyi would learn something and ask the emperor more questions, so she refuted him repeatedly.

Finally, after being interrupted by A Ruo, Ruyi left with a feeling of being unsatisfied.

After Lianxin returned to the palace, she complained to the queen. She sat there for two hours, and Qingying came over and talked nonsense to kill time for one hour.

Langya was surprised that Qingying actually came to peek, so she issued an order: concubines are not allowed to disturb Lang Shining when he is painting.

After hearing the decree, A Ruo returned to Chengqian Palace and said to Ruyi, "My dear, you trespassed into Yangxin Palace and disturbed Master Lang while he was painting. The servants have spread the news."

Ruyi said indifferently, "I just went to take a look, what's there to say?"

Ah Ruo stamped her feet angrily and said, "In short, my Lord, don't tell the Emperor about this. It would be bad if the Emperor is unhappy."

Ruyi was daydreaming and pretended not to hear.

the next day,

The emperor summoned Ruyi to accompany him.

When Ruyi arrived, the emperor was reading a book on the stairs.

Seeing Ruyi coming, Hongli said, "Ruyi, you are here."

Ruyi ignored Aruo's gaze and asked, "Your Majesty, I was chatting with Master Lang yesterday... Do you think there is a possibility..."

Hongli looked carefully at the book in his hand and answered casually, "What?"

Ruyi mustered up her courage and asked, "Is it possible that a husband can only have one wife?"

Hongli put away the book in his hand and said seriously, "How is that possible? I think the Queen was right not to let you disturb Lang Shining's painting."

Ruyi pouted unconvincedly and asked, "Your Majesty, I'm wondering if all men in the world only have wives and no concubines, and if women can also take the initiative to ask for it?"

Hongli thought of Jingren Palace's instructions to Ruyi before his death and sneered, "According to what you said, I should only have the Empress, and not you?"

Ruyi pouted in anger and stamped her feet, saying, "Your Majesty, what woman is born to be a concubine?"

Hongli sneered and continued, "Since you don't like being a concubine, then are you saying this to ask for it?"

Ruyi was furious. How could she be the same? She was the wife that Hongli had always dreamed of.

The more Ruyi thought about it, the angrier she became, and she said coldly: "Since the emperor said so, I don't know what to say. I'll take my leave." Before leaving, Ruyi pushed the stairs under Hongli's feet as if in a mischievous way.

Hongli was almost pushed and stumbled. Hongli was also angry at Qingying and shouted, "Wang Qin!"

Wang Qin came over quickly and said, "The servant is here."

Hongli ordered: "Concubine Xian has violated the palace rules. She is punished to copy "Female Rules" and "Female Precepts" ten times each. She is not allowed to leave the palace until she finishes them."

Wang Qin agreed and went out to announce the decree.

Ruyi walked very fast when she was angry, and returned to Chengqian Palace wearing high heels.

Ah Ruo was beside her, feeling very disappointed: "Master, why are you telling the emperor all this?"

Ruyi ignored A Ruo and sulked alone.

Wang Qin arrived soon and announced Hongli's order. He also informed the guards to put Ruyi under house arrest.

Ruyi became even angrier and decided not to look at the wall today. She unilaterally broke up their relationship for one day.

When the news reached the harem, all the concubines knew that Ruyi had angered the emperor again and had fallen out of favor.
