"I pay my respects to Concubine Mi."
The beautiful lady saluted politely, but Concubine Mi snorted coldly: "My sister is the most beloved person in the emperor's heart now. I can't bear the responsibility of paying my respects to her."
"Your Majesty, you are joking. Who in the palace doesn't know that the Emperor loves you the most? Who dares not to respect you?"
Mi Fei raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes filled with sharpness: "People are not of the same mind. There are always those who are bold and daring. Just like you, my gentle lady, why didn't you show me great courtesy when you saw me just now? Don't you take me seriously?"
According to the rules, when meeting someone of high rank, one must kneel down and kowtow.
But in the final analysis, the concubines in the harem are all serving the emperor, and no one will care about this except meeting the empress.
Concubine Mi was resentful about Concubine Rou sleeping with her last night. Now that she had discovered the mistake, how could she let it go easily?
“Kneel down!”
Knowing that she was in the wrong, Rou Meiren did not dare to refute. She immediately lifted her robe and knelt at Concubine Mi's feet.
Concubine Mi looked down at Rou Meiren with a very proud look on her face. She deliberately asked the maid beside her: "According to the palace rules, what is the punishment for insubordination?"

Concubine Mi refused to comply and raised her eyebrows, saying, "It's too late to admit your mistakes now that you've done something wrong. Come on, it's almost New Year's Eve. I'll be magnanimous and let you off this time. However, you can't escape the death penalty, and you can only kneel at the foot of the wall for an hour."
Lü Zhu was horrified and grabbed onto Concubine Mi's skirt, begging desperately, "Your Majesty, please have mercy. The weather is cold and our young master is weak. If we kneel for an hour, won't it cost our young master's life?"
Seeing this, Mi Fei's personal maid kicked Lu Zhu away and shouted, "What a lowly thing! How dare you grab the Empress's clothes? Watch out for your dog claws!"
For a moment, the Imperial Garden was in chaos.
The maid wanted to hit Luzhu, but Roumei didn't care about herself and rushed forward to protect her. She looked up and saw a bright yellow light approaching from a distance, and immediately a plan came to her mind.
