Chapter 211 Overestimating One's Abilities

Before and after entering the palace, Nie Danying had carefully inquired about Xipin's personality and style of doing things.

People say that this person looks weak, but actually has a strong character. She even dares to contradict the Empress. Not to mention that she saw it with her own eyes today. She made Concubine De lose face with just a few words.

I became more and more convinced of the rumors.

But now she was looking at Concubine Xi with disdain, leaning in the emperor's arms, with a look as if she was unwilling to compete with her. She didn't look strong at all.

Nie Danying was indeed stunned on the spot.

If this plan wants to succeed, Xipin needs to be persistent and act as if she will never let her go. Only in this way can the emperor pity her and become dissatisfied with Xipin.

It would be best if Concubine Xi could contradict the emperor a few times. Then, the emperor would definitely be angry, and she could take advantage of the opportunity.

But, but if this is the case now...

That's all wrong, all wrong!

Nie Danying now almost didn't dare to look up at Hawking Chi's expression.

How could she know that the stronger a person is in normal times, the more people will feel pity for him or her when he or she shows weakness.

Huo Jinchi held Yun Qin in his arms, looking at her pale and frail profile, his heart tightened, and in addition to pity, there was also anger in his eyes.

To be honest, Tingchun is also a wonderful person.

Seeing Yun Qin giving in, she stopped arguing for Yun Qin and instead pleaded with Huo Jinchi:

"Your Majesty, the queen is feeling very uncomfortable. Please don't let her worry. Please, Your Majesty, please agree to the queen's request and let me take her back to the palace to rest."

These words made the Queen take a closer look at Tingchun.

Now, in Yanning Palace, there is Rong Xin inside and Dan Xue outside. Both of them are people who act in moderation and have outstanding abilities. Tingchun has always been inconspicuous, but I didn't expect him to be so smart.

Is it true that birds of a feather flock together, and that even the palace maids around Concubine Xi are smarter than others?

Yun Qin, lying in Huo Jinchi's arms, moved her lowered eyes slightly, and she wanted to give Tingchun a thumbs up on the spot.

But on his face, his fingers tightened a little bit, grasping the front of Huo Jinchi's clothes, looking dependent.

After hearing this, Nie Danying felt her whole body go limp and she almost fell down. She pinched her fingertips to maintain the stubborn look on her face.

"Your Majesty, this matter is all caused by me. I am willing to be punished. Please send Concubine Xi back to the palace first."

At this time, she could not change her previous tone.

The emperor's visit was probably to see the empress or the little princess. She could only hope that the empress wanted to keep the emperor and would say a few words for her.

However, she was wrong again.

Not everyone will try every possible means to keep the emperor.

At least, not the Queen.

She glanced at Nie Danying calmly and said to Huo Jinchi, "Since Nie Danying has admitted her fault, then let her kneel here for half an hour as a warning as Xipin said."

These words made Nie Danying stunned for a moment.

The queen hadn't finished her words yet, "Don't stand here in the cold wind. Your Majesty, please send Xi Duying back quickly."

"Lan Ying..." She turned her head and said, "Hurry up and ask someone to invite Doctor Yu to go to Yanning Palace to check on Concubine Xi."

These words are really very comprehensive.

This made Huo Jinchi's brows relax a little, "Let's do it this way."

He lowered his eyes to glance at Nie Danying lying on the ground. His voice was colder than the faint drops of water in the air.

"Whether you did it intentionally or unintentionally, you have violated Xipin's guard of honor. She will not hold you accountable, but the palace has its own rules. In addition to kneeling for half an hour, you must go back and copy the palace rules ten times and present them to the queen for her review!"

Huo Jinchi was too lazy to think deeply about what Nie was thinking when he agreed. If someone could easily contradict Yun Qin with just a few words, then what was the point of him promoting her to a concubine!

After saying these words, he didn't even look at Nie Danying again. Instead, he bent down, picked up Yun Qin, turned around and got on his carriage.

Xu An glanced at Nie Danying, flicked the whisk in his hand, and said loudly: "Drive Yanning Palace!"

At this point, Nie Danying could no longer hold on and fell to the ground. Her maids hurried to help her up, but saw that her palms had been scratched by her own nails.

The maid was startled and was about to speak when Nie Danying held her hand.

She raised her eyes and looked at the imperial carriage. The word "Xipin" rolled on the tip of her tongue, carrying a hint of blood.

But Yun Qin, who was sitting in the imperial carriage, didn't even look at her.

She cared more about the Queen.

Of course, she heard clearly what the Queen said just now. She was truly wise to the extreme.

In the past, when she was at odds with the emperor, Yun Qin didn't think she had much friendship for the emperor. She dared to be at odds with him because she had nothing to ask for.

But now she lowered her posture and gave in step by step, which made Yunqin feel her respect for the emperor and her request for him.

But what was she asking for?

Yun Qin was a little confused, but she didn't think too much about it. No matter whether she was truly Xianhui or fake, she was the one who benefited anyway.

She leaned into Hawking's arms again.

Other people's kindness is their own business, but she would not let the emperor stay to cultivate feelings with the empress and the little princess anyway.

"Uncomfortable?" Hawking felt her movements, stroked her face, and said lovingly, "Hold on for a while, it will be over soon."

Yun Qin nodded slightly, rubbed her hands on his and closed her eyes.

After watching the imperial carriage leave, the queen retracted her gaze and glanced at Nie Danying lying on the ground. If it were before, she might have felt a little happy for making Yun Qin embarrassed, but now she just felt annoyed.

She showed impatience in her eyes, held Lanying's hand, and said coldly: "Go back, the little princess should wake up."

Fang Danying wanted to follow, but she stopped him coldly, "You should go back to the palace too. I don't have that much time to chat with you!"

"Yes." Seeing that she was unhappy, Fang Danying could only respond awkwardly.

Watching the empress walk into Fengyi Palace, she straightened her back a little and held the hand of her maid.

She raised her chin slightly, glanced at Nie Danying who was kneeling by the road, and sneered, "Some people really overestimate their own abilities. They really think that they can win over the emperor by pretending to be nice in front of him?"

Upon hearing this, Nie Danying raised his head and looked at her with a gloomy and cold gaze.

Her look really frightened Fang Danying, causing her to stop smiling. However, she was unwilling to lose out, so she glared back, "What are you looking at? I didn't mention any names, so don't take it personally!"

After saying this, she smoothed her hair and said to her maid, "It's a waste of time to stay here. Let's go and pay our respects to the Empress Dowager."

Then he left with his maids in a haughty manner.

"Bah, she is nothing!" The maid who agreed to Nie spat and said bitterly, "She is just taking advantage of the power of others!"

Nie Danying also snorted lightly, his face full of frost.
