As soon as Qingying finished, she knelt down again and said, "I am so favored by the Empress that she has even granted me the Yongshou Palace to live in. I came to Jingren Palace today to express my gratitude to the Empress."

Having said this, she kowtowed firmly and said, "Thank you very much, Queen, for your grace."

Qingying has never thought that it is difficult to control people's hearts.

People like you have lofty ambitions, but don't know how to hide their thoughts.

One can tell at a glance that the lifelong goal is to climb higher and higher.

As long as she can see hope, she will surely grow in the wind like weeds after being burned.

It is people like this who are the easiest to control.

However, thinking about the other party's recent actions, Qingying's expression became increasingly serious.

Li Yu was promoted by himself. Even if the noble wanted to rise step by step, he should not let anyone covet the position of the chief steward of the emperor.

"If you can repay my kindness, then this trip won't be in vain."

There was no emotion in Qingying's voice, but it made Guiren's heart skip a beat and he felt a little panicked.

"Your Majesty is right. If one cannot repay a favor in life, then one has lived in vain. Your Majesty has taken care of me so much, so I should express my sincere gratitude."

"Although I haven't read much, I know that the wind is strong and the grass is strong. If it weren't for the Empress's appreciation, I would still be a servant in the flower room. Even if I had endured all kinds of hardships, I might not have been able to turn my life around."

"As for this concubine, the Empress's grace is truly beyond words."

"I have never thought of asking for anything in return. I am just considering the emperor's preferences and seeing your cleverness, so I am willing to show some respect to you."

"My dear, this harem may seem peaceful, but there are actually many disputes. Do you understand the principle of keeping a low profile?"

Keep a low profile?

Is the Queen dissatisfied with her excessive favor and her excessive exposure of power?

No matter what the reason is.

The noble lady immediately bowed again and said, "I have been favored recently, and perhaps others are jealous of me. I have disturbed the Empress. Please forgive me."

"I am not unreasonable, so I will not be dissatisfied with you just because of a few jealous words among the concubines."

"Just think carefully, have you ever done anything you shouldn't have done?"

The nobleman knelt on the ground, feeling waves of pain in his knees.

But he dared not move at all.

Qingying looked at the person in front of her and recalled An Lingrong who had knelt in front of her and begged for mercy because An Bihuai had lost the military rations.

The two have slightly similar experiences, but very different personalities.

But the look of pleading was exactly the same.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I really don't know what I have done wrong. I hope Your Majesty will understand."

"The one in front of the emperor is not someone you should be bothered with."

Just a few words, but the noble man's body suddenly trembled after hearing it.

The Queen knows!

Jinzhong...

What went wrong?

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I only wish to see the Emperor from time to time through Eunuch Jinzhong. I have no other intentions. Please understand."

"You don't have such thoughts, but others may not have them. You are befriending Jinzhong for the sake of favor, which is nothing. I will not interfere too much."

"But you have to remember that there are some things you absolutely cannot do."

Qingying's voice was so faint that it frightened the nobleman.

The Queen is always so majestic and awe-inspiring, making it impossible for anyone to raise a single thought of rebuttal.

"Yes, it is a blessing for me that Her Majesty is willing to teach me. Please rest assured, I understand and would never dare to have any inappropriate thoughts."

Only then did Qingying's expression relax slightly.

"Okay, you've been kneeling for so long, it's time to stand up. Excuse me."

"Thank you, Queen."

After making the noble lady stand still, Qingying continued, "For concubines in the harem, the most important thing is offspring. You have been favored for quite some time, but there is still no sign of pregnancy. Since you will be living alone in the future, you must take good care of yourself. Only with a child can you be considered to have a stable footing."
