She just called out "Qinghua" and the other party understood what she meant.
Qinghua rolled up his sleeves, rushed forward and slapped the palace maid in the face.
The palace maid covered her face and glared at Shen Yuerong indignantly.
"What do you mean, Princess? I was sent by the Queen."
Hearing this, Shen Yuerong slowly tidied her clothes, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of her mouth.
"You are so bold, you actually dared to pretend to be the Queen's personal maid to scold me."
"The Queen is my sister-in-law and has always treated me kindly. How could she say such vicious words?"
"Or to put it another way, could it be that the Empress is deliberately trying to sow discord between my mother and me? I have no choice but to go to the palace and talk to my brother about this matter."
After Shen Yuerong said this, the palace maid's face turned pale with anger but she couldn't say a word in defense.
If she really went to the emperor to complain, that would be something she, a palace maid, would not be able to bear.
The Queen is not as easy to talk to as she appears.
The palace maid could only glance at Shen Yuerong and spoke through gritted teeth.
"Princess, please don't be too arrogant."
She left in a hurry after saying a few words, as if there was a flood or a beast chasing her.
Shen Yuerong just found it ridiculous. She couldn't help but doubt again how the current queen became the queen. Her scheme was too childish and ridiculous. Even the people around her were so speechless.
A truly tactful person will never offend anyone, just like Aunt Huaqiu who is beside Concubine Xi.
After the palace maid returned to the palace, she told the queen what had happened, exaggerating the situation.
"My lady, that's what the princess said. I'm absolutely not talking nonsense."
The queen sat there with a gloomy face and gritted her teeth and said
"I won't let her go!"
She said something, turned around and headed towards the palace where Concubine Xi was.
At this moment, Concubine Xi was busy packing her luggage, preparing to leave the palace for her retirement.
As a result, the queen arrived, and although she had a smile on her face, her words were full of provocation.
"I really envy the Concubine Dowager. Now she can leave the palace. But she has to be careful when she leaves the palace. Life outside is not as easy as in the palace."
"I've also heard some rumors recently, and I want to remind the Queen Mother."
Concubine Xi loved to listen to these rumors and gossips the most, and she spoke with sparkling eyes.
"What's the rumor? Tell me now."
So the Queen told Concubine Xi all kinds of stories about how mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law get along in the folks, especially those about the mother-in-law who was kicked out of the house by her daughter-in-law.
"But I believe my sister-in-law is definitely not such a person. Don't worry, Madam Dowager. But I heard that her ex-mother-in-law, Madam Fu, is now bedridden, and she has not even visited her. It is a bit heartbreaking."
"My family used to have some dealings with Madam Fu, so I would like to trouble the Dowager Concubine to visit her after she leaves the palace."
Then the Queen stuffed a stack of banknotes into the hands of Concubine Xi, and continued to tell exaggerated stories about the conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She also taught Concubine Xi that she must learn to establish her authority, otherwise she would be controlled by Shen Yuerong.
Huaqiu on the side frowned as she heard this and wanted to remind the concubine, but was stopped by the queen's men.
When Shen Yuerong stepped into the courtyard, she saw Huo Mengyuan busy preparing something.
After Shen Yuerong entered, Huo Mengyuan greeted her with sparkling eyes, like a cheerful bird.
"Master is back. I have prepared the apprenticeship gift. Please take a seat."
Huo Mengyuan had some things neatly arranged on the desk in the courtyard, with Shen Chenchuan, Qinghua and others beside her.
After she held the lit incense sticks to worship heaven and earth, she knelt in front of Shen Yuerong with tea in her hand and spoke with a solemn and dignified expression.
"I, Huo Mengyuan, am here to take heaven and earth as my witness and become Master Shen Yuerong's disciple. In the future, I will do my best to learn from you and save people from danger just like my master."
Shen Yuerong sat on the Taoist chair, took a sip of the teacup, and then handed Huo Mengyuan a book on medicine.
"As your master, I don't have anything good to give you as a welcome gift, so I'll just give you this book of Eighteen Muscle and Bones. You must study it carefully in the future and not make any mistakes."
Qinghua also did not forget to light firecrackers at the gate of the courtyard and applaud happily.
Now, the apprenticeship ceremony is completely completed.
Three days later, it was the day when Concubine Xi would leave the palace, but during this period, some rumors about Shen Yuerong spread in the capital.
It is rumored that Shen Yuerong, as a princess, pressured the great scholar Mo Zigui at a poetry meeting, and someone also saw Shen Yuerong handing Mo Zigui a silver note of ten thousand taels.
These were the only rumors at first, but for some reason they became more and more exaggerated as they spread.
It is said that Mo Zigui gave Shen Yuerong ten thousand taels of silver and knelt down to beg her to spare his family.
For this reason, Mo Zigui personally stood up to speak for Shen Yuerong.
As a result, he was attacked by some impulsive people, who said that Mo Zigui had lost the backbone of a great literary scholar and had become corrupt after accepting the banknotes from Shen Yuerong.
Some people even asked him to resign from the position of president of Yuelu Academy.
Mo Zigui had always been an upright person. When he heard these people wrongly accusing his savior, he became even angrier and made accusations indignantly.
It was obvious that these people had been brainwashed and didn't believe Mo Zigui's words at all.
Instead, they surrounded him and wanted to attack him. Fortunately, the people from the Dali Temple arrived and successfully escorted Mozi back to the academy.
Yuelu Academy is located in the mountains outside Beijing and has always been heavily guarded, so the subsequent rumors did not spread inside.
Shen Yuerong heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that Mo Zigui had been sent to Yuelu Academy, and Qinghua couldn't help but ask more questions.
"Princess, are you going to let these people spread rumors? Even Mr. Mo has been affected. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid Mr. Mo's life would be in danger."
