However, today's action was the result of several discussions between her and Jin Yuyan, and she finally did it when she was left with no other options.

There is no point in just letting it go at this moment.

After much deliberation, he finally couldn't resist the surging desire for power in his heart.

"Since you entered the palace, the prince and I have handed over all affairs of the palace to my sister. We are mindful that my sister is the legitimate daughter of the Empress and has been raised by a prominent family since childhood. She is bound to be able to do everything perfectly."

"That was indeed the case at first. I never saw any mistakes or omissions by my sister. But I don't know what's wrong now. Is it because Yongji is around that I've been distracted and this oversight has occurred?"

Qingying lowered her head and looked at her feet. "Since Fu Jin has said this, I dare not argue. If Fu Jin has any instructions, please tell me directly. I will not refuse even a single word."

Deliberately showing weakness actually works very well when you do it.

"Since that's the case, I can't refuse any more. From now on, sister, please hand over the kitchen affairs to me for the time being."

Fu Cha Langya narrowed her eyes slightly, but showed no hesitation at all.

One could even detect a hint of aggression in his words.

A hidden smile crossed Qingying's lips. "If Madam has given me an order, I dare not refuse. Thank you for your concern."

If something goes wrong with what you want, you can no longer blame others.

Seeing Qingying agree so easily, Fucha Langya subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

But after all, isn't this what all this seemingly serious trouble is all about?

Now that the goal has been achieved, I might as well put my worries aside for now.

"Well, today's incident was probably caused by the negligence of the subordinates. My sister usually takes care of Yongji, so naturally she can't take care of everything. Well, you can go to Qinglan Courtyard first. I will take care of the mistakes and omissions in the kitchen myself."

Qingying knelt down upon hearing this and said, "Yes, I'll take my leave."

After leaving Qionghua Courtyard, Qingying ignored everything until the sedan chair landed at the gate of Qinglan Courtyard, then she whispered a few instructions to Xiuxia.

The other party took the order and did it, and the matter was dropped.

But not long after, that night, Qingying had just finished dinner when she heard the singing and chanting outside that the prince had arrived.

Qingying took the tea handed to her by惢心 and rinsed her mouth. When she stood up, Hongli walked in.

She turned slightly and knelt down, "I pay my respects to the prince."

Hongli strode forward and extended his hand towards Qingying, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing Qingying's smile, Hongli pulled her to sit down and said, "Everyone has bullied you, but you are so indifferent."

"Bullying? I don't understand. What are you talking about, Your Highness?"

Qingying still had a smile on her face, as if she didn't understand what Hongli meant at all.

Hongli sighed and squeezed Qingying's hand. "I've heard about what happened in Qionghua Court today. It has nothing to do with you, but it caused you to be punished by Fu Jin."

"It's just that Qingying, the wife is the wife after all. It's only natural for her to want to manage the affairs of the palace. I know this is unfair to you, but the relationship between you and me is incomparable to others. Are you willing to endure a little injustice for the sake of peace in the backyard?"

Qingying sneered in her heart.

What kind of favor is that?

Ultimately, interests come first.

External face comes first, and favors naturally come last.

But how could the person in front of him have thought that what Qingying wanted was his guilt at this moment?

"Your Highness, you are too kind. As you said, Fu Jin is the mistress of the palace. The affairs of the backyard should be managed by Fu Jin herself."

"Before, the wife was not feeling well, so she entrusted these matters to me. Now that the wife is healthy, and since the wife has taken the initiative to speak up, how can I still hold on to these empty things?"

"not to mention…"

Having said this, Qingying stretched out her other hand and covered Hongli's hand.

"What's more, as long as it's for the good of His Majesty, I don't care no matter how much injustice I suffer."

"Qingying..."

Hongli's face was full of emotion. He held Qingying in his arms, and the strength in his hands was stronger than ever before.
