De Fei's eyes suddenly narrowed. What? Was Li trying to threaten her? What a fool! If she could help her rise to power, she could naturally pull her down. Now instead of trying to please her, she actually dared to threaten her!

"How dare you, Li, you are just a concubine. It's your blessing that the Fourth Master is willing to favor you. Even if he doesn't favor you, it has nothing to do with me. Who gave you the guts to gossip in front of me?

I originally thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect you to be such a worthless person. Thanks to your father's ambition, he has already become the prefect, but I didn't expect you to have made no progress at all.

Instead of taking the time to come and complain to me, you should think about how to make the fourth brother happy. After all, I can help you temporarily, but I can't help you forever.

Remember this: it's true that you were given to the Fourth Brother by me, but the Song family was given by the Emperor. How dare you think you are more noble than the Song family? Are you trying to get me punished by the Emperor?

"Your Highness has misunderstood me. I thought that since you are my father's biological mother and I was given to him by you, I should be more favored than Lady Song. Who would have thought that things would not go as I wished, so I said the wrong thing.

I already know that Song Gege's status is more noble than mine. Don't worry, I won't say such foolish words again. Please, Your Majesty, forgive me this time for my loyalty."

What else could Concubine De do? This was the person she picked personally, and she still needed her to keep an eye on Yinzhen in the prince's residence. If she was dealt with, where would she pick another stupid person to send to the prince's residence?

"Alright, I won't bother with you this time, but you must remember that you are my person. I can make you serve the Fourth Master, but I can also make you fall out of favor in an instant."

Li looked at Concubine De with a pale face. Why did she feel that Concubine De wanted to give up on her? No, she hadn't enjoyed enough of the glory and wealth, how could she let such a thing happen?

"I understand. Thank you for not punishing me, Your Majesty. I will be more careful with my words and actions in the future."

Defei finally felt a little comforted. Since she knew she was wrong, you should just let it go this time to save yourself the trouble.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Lady is here."

"Is the Fourth Master's wife here? She's probably here for Li. Let her in. I'd like to ask her how she manages the backyard, causing Li and Song to quarrel endlessly in the prince's residence."

As soon as the Fourth Lady came in, she was faced with the cold face of Concubine De. She felt a little bitter. She had obviously held herself to the standards of a perfect daughter-in-law, so why did Concubine De still dislike her?

Could it be that because he wasn't raised by her side, she hated him so much? Even the daughter-in-law chosen by Empress Xiaoyi herself was not liked by her?

What the Fourth Lady didn't know was that the reason why Concubine De didn't like her was because she had originally planned to marry her own niece to Yinzhen as his principal wife. However, before Empress Xiaoyi died, she insisted on making her the principal wife for Yinzhen.

How could she not be angry when the duck she had in her hand flew away? Anyone would be angry, but she couldn't bring this matter to the surface. After all, the Uya family was a noble family of the Eight Banners after the banner was raised, and they couldn't compare with her.

"I, your daughter-in-law, pay my respects to you, mother. I am here to take Li Gege back home. This is the rule of all the princes. Master said that if Li Gege is reluctant to leave you, you can leave her in Yonghe Palace to serve you.

You know there are many people serving me in the prince's residence. If you also like Li Gege's service, then I will go back by myself. After all, I still have to report Li Gege's affairs to you. What do you think?"

Defei didn't expect the Fourth Lady to say such a thing. She was a little angry. There must not be enough rules recently, otherwise how could she dare to talk to her like that?

"When did it become your turn to make decisions about my affairs? Li is a good servant, and I am very satisfied with her, but she has already been given to the Fourth Prince. You should take her back with you."

"Yes, I understand. I will take Li Gege back first. I will come to pay my respects to you tomorrow. I will take my leave."

Li didn't dare to say a word and followed the Fourth Lady back obediently. She had a feeling that her coming to Yonghe Palace today was wrong in the eyes of both Yinzhen and Defei.

If she had known that coming here would make Yinzhen unhappy, she would not have come. She didn't know how long he would be angry this time, and whether she could still keep the favor. If not, what should she do in the future?

Seeing her pale face, the Fourth Lady guessed some of her thoughts. She smiled disdainfully, wondering where she got the confidence to be compared with her. She was really overestimating herself.

I really don't know why she allowed her to do whatever she wanted before. She was obviously the Fourth Lady, but Yinzhen gave her more face because he doted on her.

If Mu Sili hadn't gone to her place and caused a scene today, she would have had to depend on Li's mood for the rest of her life. After all, although she was the legitimate wife, she was not liked by her mother-in-law, Concubine De.

"Fujin, you are so magnanimous and won't hold it against me, right? What I said before was just angry words, deliberately angering Sister Song. I dare not be compared with you. Please don't hold it against me."

"Why, are you scared now? Why didn't you look timid when you said those words before? Li, sometimes I admire you. You are stupid and talkative, you deserve to be out of favor."

When Li heard this, she knew that Yinzhen was really angry. She really bullied her just because she couldn't stand Mu Sili. She had bullied her more than once. Why was it that nothing happened before but something happened today?

"Fujin, I really know I was wrong. Please help me, okay? I finally became your princess and haven't served you well yet. I can't fall out of favor like this. If I fall out of favor at this time, Concubine De will not let me go."

"Even at this time, you still don't put me first. Calling you stupid is an insult to the word stupid. Go back. I will send someone to teach you the rules again."

Li looked at the back of the Fourth Lady with a pale face. She was 100% sure that she was deliberately using this incident to take revenge on her, but she was powerless and could only choose to accept it.

"I understand. Don't worry, Fu Jin, I will learn the rules well."

The most urgent thing is to be well-behaved for a while. She believes that no matter how angry Yinzhen is, he will not be angry for too long. After a few days, she will go to him and admit her mistake, and he will definitely forgive her then.

In Mu Sili's courtyard, Yinzhen had been staring at her for quite a while. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that she had changed a lot. Not to mention other things, her appearance alone had become much more beautiful.
