"Rich and powerful? What do you mean by rich and powerful? This noble man's monthly salary is not even as much as the monthly allowance I used to receive at home. How can he be considered rich and powerful?"

"Is it the unpalatable food at the Imperial Household Department that's truly rich and luxurious, or is it the cold and deserted Yonghe Palace that's truly rich and luxurious?"

The more she spoke, the more angry Concubine Yi's face turned red.

Zi Yan saw that this was definitely not a solution.

His eyes shifted slightly, he knelt straight, and immediately said, "My lady, today's incident is because I think Consort Jin made such a foolish move. Isn't this an opportunity for you to cause trouble?"

"I've heard that the Empress is fair in her conduct. If such attempts to curry favor with the emperor happen frequently, wouldn't that be something the Empress, who manages the six palaces, wouldn't want to see?"

"My lady, why don't you report her to Consort Jin when you pay your respects at Jingren Palace tomorrow? That will be a lesson for Consort Jin!"

Anger is hard to extinguish, but it can be diverted.

Concubine Yi suddenly sat up straight. "Yes, that bitch Jin actually dared to compete for favor openly. The Queen claims to be fair and will definitely not sit idly by. Zi Yan, you are right. I will pay my respects tomorrow and expose this matter!"

Seeing that Concubine Yi was no longer distracted and angry, Zi Yan felt a little relieved.

It is always better to have someone you deeply hate than to complain about yourself.

"My lady is right, but I see you must be tired, so you should take a rest first."

Concubine Yi turned her eyes slightly and finally saw the glaring red on Zi Yan's hand.

"Just now you supported me and prevented me from falling to the ground, but your hand was injured, Zi Yan, thank you for your hard work."

Zi Yan had only a smile on her face and shook her head. "My lady, you are too kind. I have been by your side since I was a child. Whatever I do for you is my duty. My lady, please do not be polite to me."

"Don't say any more, Ziyun, quickly bandage Ziyan, I have them here to serve me."

After Concubine Yi finished speaking, Zi Yan still wanted to refuse.

But he was interrupted by Concubine Yi.

He had no choice but to order someone to come up and clean up the mess on the ground, then turned around and walked out.

He turned his head and took a look, and the palace door slowly closed.

Zi Yan then sighed softly.

"Ziyun, the people in the Jingshifang are unreliable, and Liang Jinrui took the money without doing anything. It's really outrageous."

"If the young lady continues to be unable to sleep with the emperor for such a long time, the master and mistress of the mansion will not be willing."

"Write a letter to the mansion and ask the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to teach Liang Jinrui a lesson. Otherwise, he will really think that my Fucha family is easy to bully!"

Zi Yan looked indifferent when she said this.

It was completely different from how he looked in front of Noble Lady Yi.

It's quite impressive.

Ziyun responded, "Don't worry, sister. I understand. I'll write to you after I bandage the wound on your hand."

Zi Yan nodded, and the two of them walked hand in hand slowly towards the ear room.

……

The next day.

Before dawn in the morning, Concubine Yi hurried out.

She was full of energy today and wanted to report Jin Changzai to the Queen, so naturally she was more enthusiastic than others.

When they arrived outside Jingren Palace, none of the concubines in the harem had arrived yet.

The eunuch guarding the gate was stunned when he saw Concubine Yi, but did not say anything.

He led Concubine Yi into the main hall and never mentioned it again.

It would have been fine if Concubine Ke Yi had arrived early.

The young eunuch waited for a while and saw another person coming from afar.

After muttering to himself, he realized that it was Jin Changzai who came.

Before he could speak, Jin Changzai smiled and said, "You've worked hard, eunuch. I'm here to pay my respects to the Empress. I wonder if she's gone in by now?"

The young eunuch then smiled and said, "My lady, you are too polite. Of course you can come in. Please come in."

Upon hearing this, Jin Changzai's smile deepened.

Xiangling also handed over a purse and said, "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law."

The young eunuch paused as he turned around.

He waved his hand hurriedly and said, "My lord, you are too polite. I was just saying a few words. I don't dare to accept your reward."

"Besides, I have been fortunate enough to work in the Empress's palace. Her Majesty has given me many rewards, so there is no need for you to spend money."

"My lady has been to Jingren Palace quite a few times, so I will not lead her in. Please come in."
