Although she did not object to the emperor favoring someone, there were so many concubines in the harem now, and they came to her to complain, so she had to appease these concubines.
He said with a serious face: "Yun Zhaoyi, do you know your crime?"
Ye Jinyun:???
She was accused of a crime right away. She didn't know what crime it was. She should at least explain it clearly.
But this is the Queen Mother, the second most important person in the palace, so it would be better for her to submit first.
She immediately fell to the ground and said in a panic: "I don't know what crime I have committed. Please tell me clearly, Your Majesty."
Seeing her being so cautious, the Queen Mother frowned.
This Yun Zhaoyi is not as arrogant and domineering as they say, and she does not ignore the palace rules by relying on her beauty.
But the words were already spoken and could not be taken back, so he continued:
"According to palace rules, you should go and pay your respects to the Imperial Concubine on the second day after serving the Emperor, but you didn't go, claiming you were tired from serving the Emperor. This is a disregard for palace rules."
Ye Jinyun was speechless. You should ask your son about this. It was he who asked him not to go. Why is it her turn to take the blame now?
Not wanting to be wronged for no reason, and also to let these people know that she was not so easy to manipulate, she said pitifully:
"Her Majesty, it was my fault for not paying my respects to the Imperial Concubine that day. The Emperor said he had sent someone to inform the Imperial Concubine, so I followed his advice and did not pay my respects to her. However, I never expected that this was not the case. I was careless for a moment, and I beg for your forgiveness, Your Majesty."
Well, I'll take the blame first, and then tell you clearly that you were deceived. See if you feel embarrassed.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the Queen Mother looked at the faces of the concubines sitting below her. Seeing that they all had different expressions and did not dare to look at her, she knew that it was indeed what she said.
She turned to look at Guizhi who was serving beside her, and Nanny Guizhi quickly nodded to her.
Now she was a little embarrassed.
In order to pray for the emperor to have an heir as soon as possible, she stayed in the Buddhist temple all day to worship Buddha and did not pay attention to the affairs in the harem. Unexpectedly, she was used as a pawn by these concubines, and they really plotted against her.
Looking at the woman still lying on the ground, he felt quite embarrassed for her. He relaxed his expression and said:
"If that's the case, then it's not your fault. I have wronged you. Get up quickly."
"Thank you, Queen Mother," Ye Jinyun stood up obediently.
A smile appeared in her heart. Sure enough, when the slap in the face came too quickly, even the Queen Mother could not hold it back.
