Qingmei rolled her eyes and said, "Fujin, there is only the eldest prince in the mansion now, and he is not a legitimate son. Concubine Yi must be very anxious. Why don't you go to the palace and pay your respects to Concubine Yi."
Hearing this, Dong E woke up as if from a dream. She was so angry about Jiang Ranli that she even forgot that there was someone who could punish Jiang Ranli.
"Hurry up and prepare some things, I'm going to the palace now."
Yikun Palace.
Concubine Yi looked at Dong E who was paying her respects and bowed to her with a look of pity in her eyes, and quickly waved her hand to signal her to stand up and sit next to her.
"Why have you lost so much weight, child? Are you feeling unwell?" Concubine Yi asked Dong E with concern, holding her hand.
Dong E was Yin'er's legitimate wife, and her maternal family was quite powerful. In addition, Dong E often came to the palace to pay her respects and talk to her, so Concubine Yi liked Dong E very much.
"In reply to my mother, I am fine. In the past few months, I have devoted myself to Buddhism, praying every day to bless the Emperor, Mother, and Ninth Master with peace and health. To show my sincerity, I eat vegetarian food every day, which is why I have lost some weight. However, as long as my Emperor, Mother, and Ninth Master are fine, what does this matter to me?"
Dong E spoke softly, which made Concubine Yi feel distressed and moved.
"It's amazing that you have such an intention, but you also have to take care of your body. Yinzhen is not young anymore, but the mansion doesn't even have a legitimate son. You have to be more careful."
The fact that Yin'er still had no legitimate son was a source of worry for Concubine Yi. She would talk about it every time she saw Dong E, and this time was no exception.
After hearing what Concubine Yi said, Dong E lowered her head shyly and replied softly, "Mother, please stop teasing me."
Seeing her so shy, Concubine Yi laughed and said, "Why are you shy? It is a serious matter for you to give birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible. There is nothing to be embarrassed about."
Hearing this, Dong E lowered her head a little more. This time she didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly, looking extremely shy, simple and innocent.
Upon seeing this, Concubine Yi smiled, but when she turned her head, she saw Qingmei beside her.
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Qingmei's reluctant and unhappy look, Concubine Yi asked. She didn't understand why the maid next to Dong E had such an expression.
Hearing Concubine Yi's voice, Dong E looked at Qingmei curiously and said, "What's wrong with you? Now you are in my mother's palace, why are you so tactless in doing things? You are just a maid, how dare you be so rude in front of my mother? Why don't you kneel down and apologize to my mother."
Qingmei fell to her knees with a thud, but her face still had the same expression as before.
Concubine Yi frowned and said, "As a maid, how can you be so disrespectful to your master? Do you know your crime?"
Seeing the anger on Concubine Yi's face, Qingmei kowtowed several times and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I am not disrespecting you, but I really feel sorry for you."
"Shut up," Qingmei said. Dong E looked frightened and hurriedly told Qingmei to shut up.
Concubine Yi noticed that both the master and servant had strange expressions on their faces, and there was a hint of inquiry in her eyes. She said, "Why do you feel that Dong E has been wronged?"
Qingmei bit her lip and looked at Dong E hesitantly. The latter shook her head at her, signaling her not to continue.
This scene fell into Concubine Yi's eyes, making her feel even more puzzled, and her face showed displeasure, "What? Are you turning a deaf ear to what I said?"
