Resisting the Wind and Splendor

The Empress Dowager was overjoyed. Now, her heart and eyes were filled with Chu Yueli, and she no longer cared about the troublesome matters of Consort Yu and Consort Rui.

She and Granny Su took Chu Yueli inside to rest.

They probably won't be able to get out anytime soon.

Several concubines remained in the hall, sitting, drinking tea, eating snacks, and waiting.

Consort Rui was so angry that her face almost turned green, but the Empress Dowager was overjoyed and had no interest in their so-called trivial matters.

Consort Yu was sitting to the side, leisurely eating dried fruit, in an extremely good mood.

Even as Consort Rui glared at her, she suddenly threw a smug smile at her.

How could Consort Rui tolerate this? She slammed her hand on the table with a loud thud, stood up, and rushed towards Consort Yu.

"Does Consort Rui intend to fight me here? Don't forget, I absolutely do not take your pathetic skills seriously. Of course, with so many eyes watching, if you make the first move, I could kill you without consequence, wouldn't I?"

These words are simply arrogant and presumptuous to the extreme!

The surrounding concubines could only lower their heads and drink their tea, not daring to utter a sound, hoping to minimize their presence and ideally, to remain unseen by anyone.

Consort Rui was so angry that her face turned blue, purple, red, and white.

"You taught that brat to fake being pregnant, didn't you? You shameless thing!"

"Oh dear, Granny Su could come out at any moment, so you'd better yell louder?" Consort Yu smiled faintly, looking at her as if she were a clown.

"You deliberately taught her to do this!" All that morning sickness and nausea is fake! However, Consort Rui didn't dare to utter any insults, after all, this was Yongshou Palace, and Granny Su could come out at any time.

If Granny Su were to hear her cursing in Yongshou Palace and offending the Empress Dowager's ears, Granny Su would surely kick her out.

Does she even want her face anymore?

However, Qin Yuhua is really shameless. How could she be so shameless?

"What do you mean you won't see the doctor today? You're clearly afraid the imperial physician will expose your tricks!" Consort Rui pointed at Consort Yu, gritting her teeth in anger.

Knowing full well it was a trick, a fake, yet because of the excuse that "the doctor is not here today," she didn't even have a chance to expose it. That's what made Consort Rui so angry!

"Don't you have a daughter-in-law too? You're so capable, you can teach your girl how to win the Empress Dowager's favor. As for our Ali, she's kind and obedient, but she doesn't know any tricks to please people. She doesn't even know what morning sickness is. She just really feels like vomiting."

Surrounded by concubines, palace maids, and eunuchs, she certainly couldn't admit that Ali was playing tricks to help her.

However, Consort Yu really didn't expect that her little Ali was so clever, and that she could just pretend to vomit and get away with it.

If the Empress Dowager asks about it later, just say that you just had an upset stomach that day and really felt like vomiting.

The Empress Dowager wouldn't find this strange, after all, Ali didn't do it on purpose.

The more Yufei thought about it, the more she realized how brilliant Chu Yueli's method was.

Looking at Consort Rui, he became even more smug.

"Speaking of which, why didn't your Princess Consort Jin come to the palace to keep you company earlier today? I'm not trying to criticize you, but if you can't even manage your own daughter-in-law, you can forget about managing anyone else in the future. Don't you all agree?"

Isn't the meaning of "controlling others" obvious enough?

Consort Yu is saying that she is not qualified to manage the harem!
