Dyed Maple Pavilion.

Ye Jieyu still found it hard to believe. His Majesty doted on her so much, and her father had worked hard and made great contributions, so His Majesty treated the Ye family very well.

It's just a matter of snatching a pearl hairpin?

His Majesty had even given her more precious jewellery, but now he was punishing her for a pearl hairpin.

"Master, news just came out from the imperial court that His Majesty had the proposed title taken down..." The head palace maid Huan'er hurried forward to report.

Ye Jieyu's face changed drastically.

Unless she is promoted to the position of mistress of a palace, His Majesty rarely gives titles to concubines.

Hearing that His Majesty was going to give her a title, Concubine Ye was very proud, but she didn't expect...

Now even the title is gone.

"It must be that vixen Ning Wanyin. She said bad things about me in front of His Majesty and refused to let His Majesty give me a title!" Concubine Ye was indignant, with resentment in her eyes.

A young eunuch reminded quietly:

"Master, the Imperial Concubine did not go to Ganxin Palace."

He was a second-class eunuch assigned to Ranfeng Pavilion by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, responsible for running errands and gathering information.

He was the one who reported to the head palace maid the news that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had revoked the title, right after he had inquired about it.

Ye Jieyu choked and glared at him angrily:

"I didn't ask you to speak, why are you talking so much nonsense? Slap your face!"

The young eunuch hurriedly raised his hand and slapped himself twice, then quickly shut up.

Huan'er took over the conversation and said, "Ning punished our master. His Majesty must have refused to give our master a title because of this! If it weren't for her, how could our master not have a title! This Ning is really a vixen!"

The young eunuch thought to himself, in the palace it has always been the old ones who call the new ones vixens, but you, the new favorite, are calling the old favorites, this is really rare.

"Damn it, Ning Wanyin is so hateful!" Concubine Ye was very angry but helpless.

Huan'er looked at Concubine Ye and consoled her, "Master, calm down. When you are released from confinement, His Majesty will surely favor you again, and you will surely be given a title and promoted to a higher position... I will copy the palace rules for you, and you should have a good rest first."

As she spoke, Huan'er gave orders to the palace maids:

"Those who can write, please stand up and share the master's worries. The master will also need your benefits."

In order to save his life, the young eunuch who had just kept silent reminded again:

"Miss Huan'er, the Imperial Concubine is always strict and careful in her work. She will send someone to check everything she gives. We are willing to help you, but if your handwriting is exposed, I am afraid that you will be accused of deceiving the emperor again."

The emperor would not do anything to Concubine Ye, but he would definitely punish these servants.

Which palace maid would dare to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor and copy for her?

Huan'er was choked for a moment. In the past, when the lady was at home, she was punished by the lady to embroider and copy books, and she always asked the servants to do it for her. She still did things according to the old habit, and for a moment she didn't understand that this harem was not their Ye family.

Ye Jieyu became even angrier, "So, does this mean that I have to copy the palace rules myself?"

The palace maids were silent. Of course, who would dare to deceive the emperor for you?

Ye Jieyu was so angry that she swept the teacup on the table to the ground, "Damn it! You've copied the palace rules 200 times. Do you still want to do that?"

She has been spoiled since childhood and has never suffered such injustice.

Let her copy the palace rules?

Oh, Ning Wanyin, you wish.

Copying palace rules, right? House arrest, right? Don't think you can hold me back with this!

A hint of cruelty flashed in Ye Jieyu's eyes, and she decided to use a cruel trick.

…

The news that the emperor punished Concubine Ye spread throughout the harem.

The old concubines didn’t think it was a big deal, as they were all used to Ning Wanyin’s favoritism.

However, those new concubines who thought they could replace Ning Wanyin had more idea in their minds now that Ye Jieyu was setting an example for them.

Wei Yingya was even more shocked. My goodness, did I really misjudge the emperor?

The emperor's ruthlessness in banishing her to the cold palace left Wei Yingya with a deep shadow of the emperor's indifference.

So, it turns out that the emperor's true love is my peace of mind?

Wei Yingya felt that she couldn't understand.

But that doesn't matter.

The important thing is that Ning Wanyin’s position is stable and the emperor really protects her, then she can rest assured!

The two sisters sat and chatted for a while.

After Wei Yingya left.

Ning Wanyin ordered someone to send a pot of ginseng soup cooked in the small kitchen to the emperor to show her concern for him.

She didn't need to go and talk to the emperor in person about this matter.

It was natural for her to hold the power in the harem and handle its affairs.

The emperor also clearly expressed his support for her, and everything was said without saying a word.

Time flies and it is already the sixth day of September.

After Helian Qi finished the morning court, he took Ning Wanyin out of the palace.

The guards along the way cleared the area in advance, and there was no one within several feet.

Ning Wanyin and Helian Qi were sitting in one imperial carriage, while the nanny and Xier were in another.

Because he was sleeping soundly, we didn't want to wake him up.

It took more than an hour to get to the pagoda, so they set up a game of chess, tapped the chess pieces and chatted.

"Beimo has sent an envoy to pay homage to the emperor, who will arrive in the capital in a few days. I would like to hold an autumn hunting banquet in the Zijin Palace..." Helian Qi put down a chess piece and said casually.

Ning Wanyin understood what he meant.

The emperor never discussed state affairs in front of her, so he told her this, probably intending to bring her along.

Beimo is located to the north of Dayan and is an alliance of many small tribes mainly engaged in nomadic life.

Compared with the two major countries in the Central Plains, Beimo is just a small country and has always been on good terms with Dayan.

From Dayan’s external defenses, we can get a glimpse of Beimo’s national strength.

Among the original two dukes and four marquises of Dayan, the heavy troops of two dukes and three marquises were stationed on the border of Southern Liang.

Only the Marquis of Changping was guarding the north.

Although Beimo is a small country, it would naturally be bad for Dayan if it were attacked from two sides.

Da Yan has always adopted a gentle strategy towards Bei Mo.

Normally, the emperor and the empress would receive foreign audiences together. But since there was no empress in the palace, in Helian Qi's eyes, the only person who could attend the meeting with him was Ning Wanyin.

"The people of Beimo are good at riding and shooting. Now that the weather is clear and cool, it is perfect for autumn hunting." Ning Wanyin nodded slightly and said with a smile.

The two were talking.

Han Xun reported from outside the carriage, "Your Majesty, there are shadows in front of us, and it seems there are people."

Helian Qi looked normal, but the color in his eyes was a little deeper. "Send someone to take a look."

Ning Wanyin also became alert. Could it be an ambush?
