Xia Rongxin seemed to have had a long dream.

She dreamed that she was back in her 28th year, when she entered the palace and chose a concubine. After that, she was given flowers and left the palace, returning to her hometown of Qinhuai.

How long has it been since she went back... Qin Huai in the dream was still the same as when she left home...

The lights on both sides of the river are bustling, and the boatmen hold small boats to ferry passengers. At night, Qinhuai has another unique scenery.

The Shangjing City that I am now in is more prosperous and bigger than Qinhuai, but Xia Rongxin has not had time to travel yet. She only remembers that after entering from the city gate, she stayed in an inn in the city for a day.

I still remember it was called Tongfu Inn.

Later, they arrived all the way to the imperial city. Ever since she walked in from the vermilion-studded door, Xia Rongxin had never gone out again, and her soul could never leave the imperial city.

If Xia Rongxin is not selected as the concubine, which wife will Xia Rongxin be?

Based on her talent and appearance, the person she marries will surely be no worse than Yang Suying's Liang Fengmian, right?

He must be an unparalleled hero.

"Mother Concubine...Mother Concubine...Mother Concubine, why don't you wake up..." Qi Wangshu cried and called her, but she didn't want to wake up from her dream.

After a while, Xia Rongxin opened her eyes dimly, with tears still in the corners of her eyes. She turned her face to look at Qi Wangshu, who was crying into tears beside her bed.

Xia Rongxin reached out and touched Qi Wangshu's face, asking like she did when she was a child: "What's wrong with you?"

Seeing that his mother-in-law finally woke up, Qi Wangshu wiped away the tears on his face and said with a cry: "Lu Huiling is really bullying people too much..."

After hearing what Qi Wangshu said, Xia Rongxin was furious. She didn't expect that Lu Huiling would dare to be so arrogant now and not take her as the deputy queen seriously at all!

After Aunt Yun Xi dressed up Concubine Mei, she and Qi Wangshu went to Minghua Hall to settle accounts with Lu Huiling. Before leaving, she specially took the silver phoenix seal given by the emperor.

The two sedan carriages landed in front of Minghua Hall at the same time. The main door of Minghua Hall was open. Lu Huiling was waiting for their arrival in the main hall. She also asked Xu Lan to go to Qinzheng Hall to invite the emperor. She was sure that this time

Not only will Liang Huanqing be unable to express her suffering, but Concubine Mei will be embarrassed as well.

"Lu Huiling!" Aunt Yunxi helped Concubine Mei step into Minghua Hall, and Concubine Mei shouted sharply.

Seeing Concubine Mei's domineering appearance, the eunuch guarding the Minghua Hall did not dare to step forward to stop her. Although he had his beloved concubine Lu Huiling behind him, it was Concubine Mei who was in charge of the harem after all.

Lu Huiling was leaning on the couch of the imperial concubine peeling grapes. When she heard Xia Rongxin calling her from outside, she crushed the grapes and threw them into the fruit plate. Then she wiped her hands with a handkerchief and sat up straight with a smile.

The maid guarding the main hall saw Concubine Mei, and followed Concubine Ming's instructions just now and stepped forward to stop her: "My servant is paying homage to Concubine Mei. Concubine Ming is..."

"Who do you think you are! How dare you stop me?!" Xia Rongxin scolded sternly.

Rongfu raised his foot and kicked down the two palace maids who were standing in front of Concubine Mei.

As soon as there was no obstacle in front of her, Xia Rongxin walked straight into the main hall, and stopped when she saw Lu Huiling. Xia Rongxin looked at Lu Huiling, held the handkerchief tightly, and pinched it into a ball.

Tuan, you can see how angry she was.

When Lu Huiling saw Xia Rongxin in the seat, he stood up lazily, smiled at Xia Rongxin, bowed his knees and said, "I'm here to see you, Concubine Mei."

"Hand over Huanqing and her maid!" Xia Rongxin looked around and saw no sign of Liang Huanqing, nor was she polite to Lu Huiling.

"It's really strange today. One or two people came to Minghua Hall to ask for someone..." Lu Huiling turned around and sat back in her seat, touching her face. The slap she just received from Liang Huanqing was still faintly visible.

It hurts, she must ask Liang Huanqing to repay him twice as much!

"What kind of place is Minghua Hall, my concubine?" Lu Huiling fiddled with her nails, not even looking at Xia Rongxin.

"They just disappeared from your place. If I don't look for you, why should I look for the Emperor?!" Xia Rongxin pointed at Lu Huiling on the seat and asked sharply.

This Lu Huiling doesn't take her seriously now. She is obviously in charge of the harem and holds the Silver Phoenix Seal. But now, to outsiders, it looks like Lu Huiling is in charge of the harem. But according to this situation

If she continues, her power will be taken away by Lu Huiling sooner or later. She must not sit still and wait for death!

"Who is looking for me?!" A strong voice suddenly came from outside the door. It was just an understatement, but it contained a tone that could not be criticized.

Lu Huiling raised her head, looked past Xia Rongxin and Qi Wangshu, and looked straight at Qi Bingyu at the door, with a slight smile in her eyes. She stood up slowly, walked towards him gracefully, Shi Shiran knelt down and saluted: "Concubine

See you Your Majesty, May Your Majesty be blessed and safe."

"Um."

When Xia Rongxin heard this familiar voice, she was stunned for a moment. She seemed to have not seen Qi Bingyu for a long time. She never thought that Qi Bingyu would come so late.

Lu Huiling helped Qi Bingyu sit in the upper seat, and Xia Rongxin and Qi Wangshu turned around and saluted: "I, my concubine (son and minister), see the emperor (father), may the emperor (father) be safe and sound."

Qi Bingyu sat on the seat and stared at them, while Lu Huiling stood aside and looked at them, smiling triumphantly.

"Get back on your feet." I don't know how long it took before Qi Bingyu slowly spoke.

Xia Rongxin staggered when she stood up. Qi Wangshu and Yun Xi quickly supported her. She looked up at the emperor in embarrassment, then quickly lowered her head and remained silent.

"It's so late, why are you coming to Minghua Hall if you don't stay in your own palace?" Qi Bingyu frowned, and Xu Lan from Minghua Hall just now hurried to Qinzheng Hall, saying that something happened to Concubine Ming.

He rushed over in a hurry, only to see Concubine Mei and the princess questioning him arrogantly.

"Father...mother and concubine is..." Qi Wangshu couldn't stand his father's attitude towards his mother and concubine, so he wanted to speak up for his mother and concubine.

"I haven't talked about you yet. I've been out of the palace for four or five days, why did you come back?" Qi Bingyu frowned and scolded Qi Wangshu, then turned to look at Xia Rongxin, "Is this the good daughter you taught? She just returned to the palace.

Are you coming to Minghua Hall to cause trouble?"

"Your Majesty, your sons and your concubines did not come to Minghua Hall to cause trouble on purpose! It was clearly Lu Hui...it was Concubine Ming who bullied others too much. Not only did she kill Princess Jing's maid, but now even Princess Jing has been detained by her!

"Qi Wangshu was so angry that she told everything in one breath. She didn't understand why her father, who was usually rational, had become so one-sided now.

Qi Bingyu only heard Xu Lan say that something happened to Lu Huiling and that he should come personally, but he had never heard of such a thing. He just killed two palace ladies with a stick a few days ago. He took it as a way to discourage her, but why is he still doing it now?

She wanted to kill Princess Jing's maid, so where did Princess Jing provoke her?

Qi Bingyu turned to look at Lu Huiling, looking a little happy indeed.

"Princess, don't spit on others with blood!" Lu Huiling knelt down at Qi Bingyu's feet in grievance and cried: "Your Majesty, I was walking in the imperial garden this afternoon, but I accidentally saw Princess Jing's maid. She didn't

When I recognized my concubine, I accidentally bumped into her. As a concubine, I should take the lead in regulating the harem. If there is such an ignorant girl in the palace, she must be disciplined."

Lu Huiling looked at Qi Wangshu again, and then said: "I saw that the maidservant was not there, so I thought of taking her back to Minghua Hall and locking her up in the side hall. We will wait until Princess Jing comes to the door.

This prevented the maid from continuing to bump into other concubines and getting into trouble. However, when the princess and Princess Jing came to the door, they framed me and killed the maid. Your Majesty, I will never dare to do that again.

Then the princess went to see Concubine Mei to seek justice, and Concubine Jing stayed in Minghua Hall. The concubine thought that Concubine Mei would be in charge of the harem, and she would definitely enforce the law impartially, so she kindly entertained Concubine Jing. After all, before entering the palace, I waited.

They are also sisters. But Princess Jing was still unyielding and accused me of killing her maid. I simply wanted to take her to the side hall to find her, but Princess Jing suddenly slapped me in the face and pinched me.

Neck...she...is going to kill me...all the people in Minghua Hall have seen it with their own eyes. If they hadn't arrived in time, I would have been separated from the emperor. Please let the emperor make the decision for me!"

Lu Huiling was crying as she spoke, making people feel pity for her.

Qi Bingyu frowned more and more as he listened. He stretched out his hand to lift Lu Huiling's cheek. He could clearly see the clear red palm prints, and there were also two clear red and clear strangulation marks on his neck.

Qi Bingyu slammed the table angrily and scolded Xia Rongxin: "This is the harem you are managing. Such a big thing happened, and you came late! That girl Liang Huanqing was used to being unruly and willful by Feng Mian. After marrying into the prince's palace,

, as Princess Jing, you should be disciplined! But now you still behave like this! I really don’t know what you are busy with when you are in charge of the harem all day long!"

"Your Majesty..." Xia Rongxin looked at Qi Bingyu's angry look with wide eyes in astonishment. She couldn't help but knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this concubine... has indeed neglected her duty, but this is just a petty fight among their children. After all, Huanqing must not have a concubine.

That’s so serious.”

Qi Wangshu also looked at Lu Huiling in shock. The bruises on her face and neck were clearly visible. If it was Liang Huanqing who did what Lu Huiling said, then Qi Wangshu really couldn't understand why Liang Huanqing did this.

.

"Your Majesty, my concubine and Princess Jing are not children anymore. How could it be a petty quarrel between children? If Concubine Mei wants to excuse Princess Jing, please find a better excuse." Lu Huiling knelt aside.

, Lihua said with a hint of rain.

"Father, Huanqing is definitely not such an impulsive person. This must be what Concubine Ming said to provoke Huanqing to fight her. Huanqing's father and husband are loyal to the country. Please treat Huanqing kindly.
