Chapter Fifteen Everywhere is Unaware

  Having obtained Jun Yuehan's promise, Yun Qing's mood was very good. She hadn't forgotten that the Empress Dowager had been searching for her everywhere and had sent countless good things to the Huang Wangfu in the past few days. If it weren't for Jun Yuehan's excuse that she was physically weak after giving birth and shouldn't be summoned, she would have been called into the palace long ago. Now that Murong Xiao Tian had been rehabilitated and she had Ao Chen again, given the Empress Dowager's "love" for her, the most likely outcome was that Jun Yuehan would withdraw his decree and restore her as the Huang Wangfei.

  Previously, Murong Yunqing was delighted with this result, but now that she has taken over this body, let alone that Yunqing didn't care about it at all. The fact that Jun Yehuang's concubine destroyed his wife is even more despicable to her. If you don't like a woman, you can choose not to marry her. Even if you do marry her, at the very least, you should let her live without worries. But he indulged in his concubine's scheme to harm her, joining forces with his concubine to trample on Yunqing's true heart, ultimately leading to Murong Yunqing's death.

  Now, she is in the grand hall, facing all the civil and military officials, on the one hand saying that Jun Yuehao drove her out of the palace, on the other hand hinting that she was framed, even if Jun Yuehao wanted to take it back, it would be difficult to refute Yu Yu's many mouths, plus the emperor's condition, it's like having a blank imperial edict, at that time, even if the empress dowager uses her imperial power to suppress her, it will be useless.

  。

  However, what she didn't expect was that Junyexuan agreed to her terms so easily. Originally, she thought it would take some effort to get him to nod in agreement. But this way is good too, saves trouble.

  Now that the matter of Murong Xiao Tian has been resolved, she can finally live a peaceful life with her son. However, who would have thought that Jun Yue Han, that old fox, after seeing the letter she gave to Jun Yue Huan before leaving, actually said he wanted to help Murong Xiao Tian ward off evil spirits? He used the excuse that her body was not suitable for traveling and that the Empress Dowager missed her terribly, to keep her in the palace. Having no choice, she could only bring her maid to temporarily reside in the palace arranged by Jun Yue Huan, waiting for tonight's imperial banquet. After all the commotion this morning, she was indeed a bit tired.

  Just thinking of getting there early to rest, that blind date came crashing in. Where there are many women, there is much trouble, after all, the things on the court, these harem women do not know, otherwise they would not dare to provoke her even if they borrowed a bit of courage from them, but when they understand it's already too late, and what this world lacks most is regret medicine.

  "Who is this beauty? Oh, and she's holding a child too! I thought for a moment that our harem had gained another stunning sister. So it's the 'Empress of Huáng'!"

  Yun Qing walked behind Ao Chen, following the small eunuch to the Qian Yue Han Palace. A group of women with elaborate hairstyles and makeup approached them from the opposite direction, blocking their path. A sarcastic voice pierced Yun Qing's ears, causing her eyebrows to furrow. Was this woman implying that she wanted to enter the emperor's harem? Yun Qing raised an eyebrow in disdain, thinking to herself: "A group of women looking for trouble." Originally, she had thought that as long as no one bothered her, she wouldn't bother them either, and there was no need to make enemies here. But that annoying voice just wouldn't let up: "I heard that the Crown Princess of Huo has become a sensation in the capital recently. She committed adultery on such a large scale, yet she wasn't thrown into the pig cage. Now, she's still carrying that little bastard and strutting around the palace with her head held high. Alas, if it were me, I'd be too ashamed to show my face."

  "Who wants someone with an empress backing them up? With the empress's favoritism towards her, it's likely that she'll be our sister in the future."

  The little eunuch's forehead was beaded with cold sweat, this is all because of the master who doesn't care about consequences. He can't afford to offend any of them, if he had known they would meet, he should have taken a detour. "I've seen Shen Guifei, Fu Fei, and Rou Fei, His Majesty 'especially' instructed me to send Huang Wangfei to the Qingsheng Palace to take good care of her, so I won't disturb your leisurely stroll in the garden." The little eunuch subtly emphasized the word "especially", hoping to resolve this crisis under the emperor's authority. It was a good idea, but unfortunately, there are people who refuse to see reason.

  "Why must you be so discouraging, Princess Wang is rarely allowed into the palace, we just want to have a private conversation with her"

  Her gentle voice was like water, matching her title, Gentle Concubine.

  These concubines usually didn't hesitate to flatter Murong Yunqing in order to curry favor with Shen Guifei, now that such a good opportunity is right in front of them, how could they let it go?

  The Duke of Joy is speechless, asking the heavens, why isn't this opening its eyes? The current Empress's 'private words' are not easy to narrate. Haven't you seen that all the officials and military officers have been defeated? Indeed—

  The curtain heard someone humiliate her family's young lady, and she was so angry that her small face turned red. She pointed at the person in front of her and only spat out a "you" after half a day. Worriedly looking at Yun Qing, she said nervously: "Miss, let's not bother with them."

  Yun Qing's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and indeed, it was noisy. She said she couldn't, and her son even more so. "Which stray dog in the imperial palace's backyard is barking wildly, disturbing people's peace? It seems that the guards in this palace are also like this." The lukewarm words immediately made the person lose his voice.

  The cloud-clearing concubine, Fu Fei, took half a day to catch her breath, then suddenly jumped up, pointing at Yun Qing in anger: "You shameless little slut, don't think you can be arrogant just because the Empress Dowager is backing you. That illegitimate child of yours might have been born from your adultery with someone else..."

  "Bang!"

  The world is quiet!

  "My young lady and young master are not people you, a madwoman, can insult." The curtain gazed down at the fallen Fu Fei with an icy demeanor. What the young lady said was absolutely right, this woman was like a wild dog that bites anyone it sees, she's asking to be beaten!

  "Ah——" A crisp slapping sound was followed by the miserable cry of Consort Fu, mixed with a tone of disbelief. She had actually been slapped? Or rather, she had been slapped by a little maid?! How could she accept this? Although the Emperor didn't often visit her, after climbing up to become one of the favored consorts, she had still managed to navigate the palace with ease. Now, she was being insulted by a discarded wife and slapped by a little maid - how could she swallow this humiliation?!

  "You dare to be so presumptuous, I am Consort Fu! You actually dared to commit an offense against a superior, come and take her away, beat her severely!" On Consort Fu's delicate face, her expression twisted, a clear five-fingered handprint instantly appeared. It can be seen that the slap just now was quite forceful.

  Yun Qing's mouth hooked up, and the curtain this girl was indeed deeply in her heart. The silver needle hidden at the tip of her finger quietly retracted. She turned to look at Fu Fei, who was about to go crazy, her eyes deepened, hum! Daring to slander her son again and again, now wanting to move her people, good job.

  She's going to find out what it means to bully others with her power!

  "Who dares to move my people?"

  "A clear and cold voice, seemingly without anger, yet carrying an aura of intimidation that dares not be defied."

  "This princess is the empress dowager's appointed Huang Wangfei, and you, a small palace concubine, dare to be so disdainful of me? Are you questioning the empress dowager's decision, and do you have the empress dowager in your eyes?" The empress dowager had previously issued an edict stating that Murong Yunqing was equal to the imperial noble consorts in the harem, except for the empress. What's more, as the legitimate wife of a prince of the first rank, she outranked all other palace concubines, who were merely the emperor's women and could not compare to her in status.

  As for the identity of Princess Huan, Yun Qing doesn't care, but it's not bad to borrow it to deal with these wild flowers now, great. The previous Murong Yunqing was really a failure as a person, with the Empress Dowager backing him and the General's Mansion as his support, he had all the advantages, yet he was often ridiculed and humiliated by this group of women who didn't know their place and didn't dare to fight back.

  Her eyes flickered to the motionless and silent Shen Imperial Concubine, who was only known to Murong Yunqing as Shen Zhao's daughter, Shen Imperial Concubine, warm, gentle and charming. Every time these imperial concubines bullied Murong Yunqing, she would smile softly on the side. However, a biting dog doesn't bark, this must be a formidable master, if it weren't for her instructions, those imperial concubines wouldn't dare to be so arrogant? The beautiful face now had a pair of charming eyes staring at her, wanting to watch the show? Hmph, this play isn't that enjoyable...

  Fu Fei originally thought that even if someone had beaten her, Murong Yunqing would not dare to resist, but today's Murong Yunqing actually had such a sharp momentum, and she could even use her identity and the Empress Dowager to suppress her. She couldn't move either of them, so she turned to Shen Guifei, who had been silent all along, for help: "Sister, you must take charge for your younger sister's sake! This Princess Huan is relying on the Empress Dowager's support and allowing her servants to beat me in front of you. She doesn't put you, Guifei, in her eyes at all."

  This Consort Fu still has some brains, and she actually knows how to drag down Shen Guifei. This Shen Guifei is the daughter of Shen Zhao, and she can maintain her honor in the harem without decline, which shows that she has a good mind. The little thoughts of Consort Fu naturally cannot escape her eyes. A cold light flashes in her eyes, and it's clear that she will not be able to achieve anything but will cause trouble instead. Just now, she had been observing Murong Yunqing, and today, she exudes a calm and composed air, with an aura of confidence and pride, without the timidity and cowardice of before. Her eyes and eyebrows all show a hint of wisdom, and in just one round, she made Consort Fu lose face. This is something that has never happened before. Xi'er came to report that Jun Yexuan, for some reason, kept Murong Yunqing at the Wangfu, and had people carefully attend to her, without allowing anyone to disturb her. Could it be because of her change?

  Also, this little eunuch is serving by the emperor's side, and she has also understood the meaning of his words. The emperor actually let her live in the Qīng Yuè Temple, that Qīng Yuè Temple is not an ordinary palace, what does the emperor mean by this? However, a woman from a lower social class, the daughter of a guilty minister, she doesn't take it seriously, and calmly opens her mouth: "Is this how Princess Huáng teaches her subordinates?"
