Concubine Hua didn't care about Zhen Cai's words at all. She just let Hua Meng support her, covered the corners of her lips that were smiling so hard that they couldn't bend down with a handkerchief, and turned around to walk back to the main hall.
Upon seeing this, the wet nurse quickly picked up Feng Wanwan and followed her footsteps.
Feng Wanwan, who was in her wet nurse's arms, looked at Duanzheng, who was kneeling at the door with a solemn expression on his face, and couldn't help but giggle.
[I told you, how could my mother be so easily fooled by this woman's few words?]
[My mother is a remarkable woman who combines beauty and wisdom. If you are really thinking of this, don't even think about escaping her eyes.]
[It turns out my mother had just set a trap for her, pretending to give her an opportunity so she could punish her.]
[Kneeling under the scorching sun for two hours is no joke. Zhen Qia's legs will definitely be lame for a few more days, hahaha.]
At the gate of Yiku Palace, An Niaoyi did not leave immediately with Concubine Hua, but stood there, looking at Zhen Qia who was kneeling straight.
Her originally tense heart finally settled down, and an unconcealable smile appeared on her originally nervous and worried face.
"Sister Zhen really has a good memory. As expected of a daughter of a prominent family, she learns the rules faster than girls like us who come from humble backgrounds.
And Sister Zhen is really well-behaved. She corrects her mistakes as soon as she knows them, and kneels when she's told to. She's really courageous."
"An Niaoyi, stop saying these sarcastic words in front of me. How are you better than me? When your father was thrown into prison, didn't you kneel down in front of the Imperial Concubine and beg for help?
Earlier, didn't you also take the initiative to go to Yikun Palace to curry favor with the Imperial Concubine? You even didn't forget to please Princess Chunxi.
Why are you blabbering in front of me now? Get out of my way and stop being annoying in front of me, or else, don't blame me for being rude to you in the future."
Seeing Concubine Hua walking away, Zhen Qia no longer needed to pretend to be humble. She just frowned and shouted coldly.
Those cold and resentful eyes stared at An Niaoyi's face, almost drilling a hole in her face.
"Also, don't be too complacent too soon. Although your father has been released from prison, his case is more than just being cleared of a corruption case.
Do you think that because the Imperial Concubine said a few good words for you in front of the Emperor and your father was released by chance, you can rest easy?
An Niaoyi, I tell you, it's too early to be complacent now. You'd better be careful, and ask your father who is the county magistrate to be careful as well. It's best to hide the dirty deeds you have done as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it’s hard to say who will have the last laugh! ”
"Oh, sister, you are so mean. I come from a humble family and have been timid since childhood. I haven't seen much of the world. You are so arrogant that I am scared to death."
An Niaoyi looked weak and helpless, and retreated backward in fear.
Fortunately, Baojuan stepped forward in time and protected her behind her. She stared at Zhen Qia who was still kneeling, and kept comforting An Niaoyi.
"Don't be afraid, my lady. No matter how clever others are, they cannot escape the sharp eyes of our emperor. Our monarch is wise and powerful. He will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor will he let a bad person go.
What's more, the Imperial Concubine trusts you so much, she won't stand by and watch someone with ulterior motives causing trouble under her nose.
Even if you have nothing left, you still have me. Even if I risk my life, I will protect you and will never let you be bullied! "
"Well, Baojuan, you are right. Then I am not afraid anymore."
Although An Niaoyi was still standing behind Baojuan, the expression on her face had changed from fear to calmness and composure, and even a hint of pride.
She looked at Zhen Qia with a smile, and her tone became softer.
"Really, sister, then I won't stay here to kneel with you as punishment. I was just scared by you, so I need to go back to the palace to relax and take a nap.
After I finish kneeling this afternoon, I will come and personally accompany my sister to meet the Imperial Concubine and plead for mercy on my behalf, okay?"
"You..." Zhen Qia was so angry at An Niaoyi's rapidly changing face and her smug smile that she clenched her teeth and was speechless for a while.
Baojuan next to her laughed, supported An Niaoyi and walked slowly, responding loudly.
"Yes, my lady, let's go back to the palace and have a good rest. After two hours of rest, we can come back to the Imperial Concubine's place to watch the show."
After saying that, he walked away, laughing.
Zhen Qia, who was kneeling on the ground in anger, rolled her eyes again. If she hadn't been kneeling on the ground with her center of gravity much more stable relative to standing, she would have been so angry that she would have fallen over.
But she still held back. After all, this was the Yiku Palace. Her top priority now was to please Concubine Hua. She couldn't lose the big picture for the sake of small gains.
Besides, the reason why An Niaoyi deliberately provoked her here was to ruin her plan and prevent her from getting close to Concubine Hua. If she got angry and fought with An Niaoyi at this moment, she would fall into the trap of this bitch.
A little lack of patience will ruin great plans.
On this side, An Niaoyi returned to the Yanx Palace, but her expression was still solemn.
"Baojuan, do you think the Imperial Concubine will forgive Zhencha and keep her by her side?"
Although she mocked Zhen Qia and severely provoked her, An Niaoyi still felt uneasy.
"My lady, rest assured. How could a wise person like the Imperial Concubine be fooled by Zhen Qia? Besides, Zhen Qia has always been disrespectful to the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine will not let her off easily."
"But if the Imperial Concubine would not forgive her, why did she give her the opportunity to kneel at the gate of Yikun Palace?
