Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 666

"Your Highness, what are you doing!" Just then, Qi Yuyan and Pei Heng appeared together, having originally planned to visit Qi Yumin.

She had just been promoted to Consort De, and her family was allowed to enter the palace to celebrate with her as an exception. Lady Qi had already gone to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.

Qi Yumin had to pay her respects to the Empress and hadn't returned yet, so her brother came to the Imperial Garden to fetch her because he was worried about her.

Unexpectedly, he saw a group of women bullying his younger sister.

Qi Yuyan immediately flew into a rage and pushed Pei Fang away.

"You... how dare you, Young Master Qi, lay a hand on the Imperial Concubine?" Pei Fang's maid immediately rebuked.

Qi Yuyan helped Consort De up, "May I ask why Your Highness hit my sister?"

Pei Fang felt extremely wronged. "Cousin, I'm your sister too! Why do you only care about her? Is it just because I'm your cousin?"

The Emperor was the same; they were both his cousins, but he only felt sorry for Pei Xuan.

Upon learning that she had been wronged, he ordered an extremely luxurious phoenix crown to be made and presented it to Pei Xuan.

What about her?

Even the wedding upon entering the palace was simple; the phoenix coronet and embroidered robe were not bright red, and the phoenix coronet was different from that of the Empress.

Now Qi Yuyan is the same. In the past, both Murong Yu and Qi Yuyan doted on her very much. Even her own sister Qi Yumin had to take a backseat.

"Brother, I'm fine. Cousin is just in a bad mood," Qi Yumin said softly, rubbing her cheek.

Pei Fang was in a bad mood because she had become "favored." She was furious. From childhood to adulthood, she had always been a supporting character to her. She entered the palace later than her, yet she was able to climb over her so quickly.

Pei Fang wished she could kill her.

"Go apply the medicine first," Pei Heng said.

Seeing that even her own younger brother was siding with outsiders.

Pei Fang's face contorted with rage. "Aheng, are you siding with her too?"

Just as Pei Heng was about to say something, Zeng Rou pulled Pei Fang back, "Sister, don't blame the wrong person!"

She sensed something was wrong.

Why are they suddenly targeting Qi Yumin?

Shouldn't this be directed at Yun Xiyue?

Pei Fang was angry and ignored her, shaking off Zeng Rou and running away with her face covered.

Zeng Rou offered a perfunctory explanation, "The Imperial Concubine is indeed not in a good mood. I'll go and see her."

"Sister Defei, don't be angry. We're all sisters, so don't take it too seriously."

Qi Yumin ignored her.

Zeng Rou smiled and went to find Pei Fang.

......

Someone told Yunxi Yue about what happened in the Imperial Garden.

Listen to the palace maid's report.

Madam Yun frowned, "These women are such a hassle. If the Emperor really revolves around these women, wouldn't he be driven crazy by their noise? The Emperor is much smarter."

Choose a woman you like to be your queen.

Then he ignored the other concubines.

If he favored the empress, no one would criticize him; if he preferred a concubine, the empress he married would be chosen by the empress dowager.

The palace intrigue is even more terrifying!

Yun Xiyue was both amused and exasperated, admiring her mother's unique way of thinking. "Let's send some ointment to Consort De to reduce swelling and relieve pain!"

Murong Yu deliberately "favored" Qi Yumin in order to divert the focus of the concubines' competition for the emperor's favor.

This trick actually worked.

However, it will be tough on Qi Yumin.

But Yun Xiyue wouldn't treat her unfairly. "The Imperial Concubine is spoiled and will be punished with two months' salary and confined to her quarters for half a month."

Madam Yun immediately gave a thumbs up, "So it is true that if a man is fair, there is no household that the mistress of the house cannot manage well."

"If you do this, you can easily suppress the other concubines when you go out."

Pei Fang was a troublemaker in the harem, with powerful backing. If she hadn't made a mistake on her own initiative, there would have been no way to punish her.
