Chapter 35: It was the Queen Mother who showed up?

On the second day, it was the Queen Mother who met with all the concubines in Rongle Palace.

Concubine Chen arrived neither early nor late, but when she arrived, most of the concubines were already there.

Seeing that Concubine Chen was late, some people were naturally angry. The first one to speak was naturally Shupin, who was punished by her last time: "Your Highness is now in charge of the Phoenix Seal, and you are so late even to pay your respects to the Queen Mother."

Concubine Chen Guifei was not angry, she just said back: "Shupin means that I am disrespectful to the Queen Mother because I am in charge of the six palaces? I don't know if the Queen Mother thinks so. I'll ask her later. It's better to give the power of managing the harem to Shupin."

"You..." Shupin didn't expect that Concubine Chen would confront her so directly, and she was speechless for a moment.

But Concubine Ning on the side actually laughed out loud.

After Shupin suffered a loss, she naturally wouldn't say anything again.

But Yun Guiren, who had always been on good terms with her, spoke up: "How could Concubine Chen be so intolerant..."

Naturally, Song Qingyan would not give her a good face. She had seen through everything now. Anyway, these people all disliked her, so she might as well live her life as she pleased.

Before the noble lady Yun finished speaking, she interrupted her and said, "Why? The noble lady Yun also wants to manage the six palaces? Why don't we report to the Queen Mother and let her make the decision, and the sisters can take turns?"

When Lady Yun heard Concubine Chen say this, she knelt down and kowtowed: "I dare not."

Song Qingyan stepped forward and helped her up: "Sister, don't be so panicked, I was just joking."

After Mr. Yun sat down, Fang spoke again: "I heard that Mr. Yun's hometown is Yunzhou, and Yunzhou's gold healing medicine is second to none."

After saying this, he looked straight at her and said no more.

Yun Guiren, however, was very nervous.

This Concubine Chen Guifei used to be a weak character, but now she is so strong.

Why did she deliberately mention Yunzhou just now? Could it be that she knew that the rumors in the palace were spread by her and Shupin? No, it certainly wouldn't be.

Although she comforted herself, Yun Guiren was still worried and quietly raised her head to look in the direction of Shupin.

Concubine Lan knew what Concubine Xiaochen meant, so she agreed, "I heard that my sister was injured on the polo field a few days ago, and it was the wife of Doctor Guan who gave the queen a golden medicine for her injuries!"

Concubine Lan is the biological mother of the Second Prince. She has always been the gentlest and least visible concubine in the palace. However, now that she is assisting in managing the six palaces, she has more opportunities to show up.

And because the Second Prince was on good terms with the Crown Prince, Concubine Lan naturally became closer to Concubine Chen Gui.

Yun Guiren was puzzled when she heard what Concubine Lan said. Why did Concubine Lan mention that Lord Guan for no reason? Was it also to humiliate Concubine Chen?

He immediately looked up at Concubine Lan.

But when he saw Concubine Lan looking at him gently, he lowered his head in panic.

Concubine Chen Gui spoke softly, "That's right! The wife of Master Guan is from Yunzhou. Speaking of which, I was familiar with Master Guan when I was in the palace."

Concubine Ning also hurriedly asked, "Is the Royal Concubine okay? How about I develop some scar removal medicine for her?"

Concubine Chen Gui looked at Concubine Lan and said with a smile: "Look at our sister Ning, she has become a medical lunatic."

He then looked at Concubine Ning and said, "Don't worry, sister. The wound is not deep. If you need scar removal medicine, I will ask you for it, okay?"

The Queen Mother in the bedroom couldn't help laughing when she heard the message from Nanny Su beside her.

"Qingyan's behavior now shows the fearlessness she had before she entered the palace."

Nanny Su also smiled and said, "The Royal Concubine has the most cheerful personality."

The Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh: "I hope she will always be like this, live a carefree life, and not let her sister's filial piety to me go in vain."

Then he said softly, "I am sorry to the two sisters."

Nanny Su stepped forward and helped the Queen Mother to stand up: "If the late Emperor knew about this, she would naturally agree with the Queen Mother's actions."

The Queen Mother nodded and then spoke again: "It seems that Qingyan knows where this rumor came from, and she should have a way to deal with it."

"The Concubine is always the smartest."

"But since the emperor came to me for this matter, I have to solve it for Qingyan and let her feel at ease." The queen mother turned her head and looked at Nanny Su beside her. "I think the emperor has some true feelings for Qingyan."

When the Queen Mother arrived, everyone stood up and paid their respects to her.

After the Queen Mother sat down, she spoke in a serious tone, "Now all matters in the harem are in the hands of Concubine Chen Guifei. I originally didn't care about the affairs of the harem, but in recent days, rumors have been spreading in the harem. I thought they would be gone in a few days, but I never thought they would get worse and worse."

"Whoever started this rumor knows exactly who it is."

Shupin exchanged glances with Noble Lady Yun beside her. Although she didn't show it on her face, she was very happy in her heart. It seemed that the hard work of herself and Noble Lady Yun in recent days was not in vain. The Empress Dowager was now going to punish Concubine Chen.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother changed the subject and looked at Concubine Chen Gui: "Qingyan, this rumor is related to you, you don't have to feel that you need to avoid suspicion and not punish you."

"This time, His Majesty personally came to me and asked me to make the decision for you."

This was something Concubine Chen Guifei had not expected, and she quickly stood up to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Your Majesty the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother hurriedly asked her to stand up, and her eyes wandered over the concubines again: "Today I will tell you here and now, from today on, if any of you are bored and spread rumors, the Emperor will send you to spread them in the market."

"Madame Su, pass it on. If any servant in the palace starts gossiping and spreading rumors in the future, they will all be caned to death."

After all, the Queen Mother was the champion of the palace fight last time, and she still had her own authority. When these words came out, all the concubines responded in agreement and dared not say another word.

Sure enough, after this day, the rumors about Concubine Chen in the harem stopped immediately.

After Jinxin returned to the palace, she imitated for Jinyu vividly how Song Qingyan confronted Shupin and others in Rongle Palace, which made everyone laugh.

Jinyu was puzzled: "Since Your Majesty knew that it was Concubine Shu and Concubine Yun who did it, why didn't you punish them on the spot?"

Lu Xingwan muttered to himself.

[Silly Jinyu, luckily my mother is smart, otherwise you and Jinxin would have led her into a ditch.]

[Mother, punishing them both is not as satisfying as the Queen Mother.]

[I guess that Concubine Shu and Noble Lady Yun will have trouble sleeping when they go back today.]

[This way, I can not only shock them both, but also make the Queen Mother and my father feel guilty towards my mother. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone? ]

Concubine Chen Guifei listened to Wanwan's inner thoughts and couldn't help but sigh. Her daughter is really a fairy! She really has some plans.

But he did not say much to Jinyu, and only smiled and said: "Now that the Queen Mother has dealt with them for me, shouldn't I be relieved?"
