"Maybe she feels uncomfortable seeing you being favored every day? My cousin is not a broad-minded person." The more Lian Rui thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case.
Ning Wanyin felt that things were not that simple and she needed to wait and see.
She also remembered the favor today.
"Let's wait and see about this matter. We still have to be careful with her and don't trust her easily." Ning Wanyin reminded.
Lian Rui nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, Miss. In this palace, I don't trust anyone except you!"
After a pause, Lian Rui thought of the emperor's reward just now, and wondered, "Master, why didn't you want to be promoted just now... Of course, a small kitchen is also very good. In the future, I can make a lot of snacks that you like for you!"
"But you also said that status is real. This is very important."
Ning Wanyin smiled faintly, "It's not surprising for a favored concubine to break the rules. When she is favored, there is nothing to worry about. Once she loses power in the future, this will be a crime that others will accuse her of."
"For example, if I were to slap Concubine Li in the face today, Your Majesty would still protect me. But if an inferior assaults a superior, I will be punished for it in the future."
"Of course, now you can. She is a noble lady."
Ning Wanyin felt that the emperor was also a wonderful person. Li Jieyu relied on her higher status to bully her, so he made Li Jieyu just one level lower than her, and the situation changed.
"Master, you have thought it through!" Lian Rui nodded in understanding. "Master, you are favored by the emperor. It is only a matter of time before you are promoted to a higher position. There is no need to rush and give yourself room for criticism."
Even if she didn't pay her respects to the empress dowager, Ning Wanyin had the excuse that the emperor exempted her from paying her respects due to illness. There were many concubines in history who were exempted from paying their respects due to illness, so this was nothing.
But to be promoted without any reason is a blatant violation of the rules.
It's okay when the emperor protects her, but once the emperor doesn't protect her, she will be blamed.
She never thought that the emperor would protect her all her life.
