Upon hearing this, Concubine Yi asked anxiously, "Why didn't I know about this?"

After hearing this, Qiuyue kowtowed several times. When she spoke again, her voice was a little tearful, "In reply to Your Majesty, I learned that the brocade box was a gift from the concubine. Thinking that Your Majesty did not like concubines, I put the brocade box away and did not tell you."

Hearing Qiuyue's words, a trace of nervousness appeared on Concubine Yi's face. She looked at Jiang Ranli with her beautiful eyes, then quickly shifted them to Qiuyue, "You are so bold that you dare to criticize the master."

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me," Qiuyue cried and begged for mercy.

Concubine Yi frowned. Qiuyue's behavior made her very angry and extremely embarrassed, so she said to the eunuch guarding outside, "Drag her away and give her fifty slaps on the face, and send her to work somewhere else. I don't want to see her."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't mean it. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Qiuyue begged for mercy repeatedly, but Concubine Yi remained unmoved and was soon taken away by the eunuchs.

Watching this scene, Jiang Ranli said nothing. Qiuyue had no one to blame for being punished like this. In this palace, being cautious in words and deeds was the key to saving lives. Not only did she secretly withhold the things presented to Concubine Yi, but she also said in front of Jiang Ranli and Concubine Yi that Concubine Yi didn't like Jiang Ranli. With this kind of brain, if she wasn't taught a lesson, even if she escaped punishment today, she would die in the future.

What's more, the punishment given to her by Concubine Yi was not severe, it would just make her suffer a little, but this would also make her remember what happened today and understand the principles of survival in the palace.

The other palace maids quickly found the brocade box that Jiang Ranli gave to Concubine Yi and presented it to her.

Looking at the brocade box in front of her and the exquisite bottles and jars inside, Concubine Yi's face was full of embarrassment. She looked at Jiang Ranli several times but didn't say anything.

In fact, she didn't care whether Jiang Ranli gave her skin care products or not. What she cared about were the rumors in the palace. After all, she was Yin'er's biological mother and Jiang Ranli's legitimate mother-in-law. But the rumors were spreading outside that Jiang Ranli didn't take her seriously. No one would remain calm if this happened to them.

"Mother, this set of skin care products is made by me using the essence of seasonal chrysanthemums. It has the effects of moisturizing, anti-inflammatory and brightening the skin. These two bottles are mud masks. This one is used to clean the skin, and this one is used to moisturize the skin."

Seeing that Concubine Yi hesitated several times and did not speak, Jiang Ranli took the initiative to speak, breaking the awkwardness by introducing skin care products.

This set of skin care products made from chrysanthemum was specially selected by Jiang Ranli for Concubine Yi. She usually eats food with a slightly heavy taste, so one or two pimples occasionally appear on her face. Chrysanthemum has anti-inflammatory and calming effects, which is more suitable for her skin.

Listening to her detailed introduction of each bottle and jar, Concubine Yi coughed twice and then spoke, "Actually, I'm not angry because of whether you sent these things or not, but the rumors outside are really unpleasant."

Jiang Ranli was slightly surprised by Concubine Yi's words. She originally thought that even if the misunderstanding was resolved, Concubine Yi would still treat her the same as before, but she didn't expect that she would be much more gentle.

"I understand what you said, mother. This time I didn't do well enough and made you angry. I really shouldn't have done that. Please punish me, mother."

Looking at Jiang Ranli's sincere face, Concubine Yi sighed, "Although I have some opinions about you, I am not confused about right and wrong. This matter has nothing to do with you. It was caused by the poor performance of the palace maids around me."
