Huang Yingying had naturally also heard about the minor conflicts between Luo Xue Ning and the Queen during the last Qixi Festival banquet. In fact, even without those minor conflicts, the Queen and Luo Xue Ning would not be able to coexist peacefully.

As early as the first time I met Luo Xue Ning, she was framed and almost became a murderer. The person who framed Luo Xue Ning was the current Queen's biological sister, the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Because of this relationship, it was impossible for Luo Xue Ning and the Queen to coexist peacefully.

Huang Yingying paid special attention to the fact that the Prime Minister's wife did not come today, but there was no guarantee that she would not do something bad in secret.

Huang Yingying has a simple personality, but she is still scheming. All the girls who live in the mansions of powerful families grow up with full of malice. Huang Yingying certainly understands the dirty things that happen in the mansions.

She understood that some things could not be made public.

Huang Yingying relied on herself to be able to speak a few words in front of the empress, and asked boldly: "The queen called Miss Luo, what's the important matter?"

The palace maid glanced at her, with a hint of displeasure on her face. Obviously, she didn't understand how the legitimate daughter of the Huang family could be involved with Luo Xuening.

"The Queen said that she likes the fourth daughter of the Luo family very much and wants her to go to the palace. Oh, the Queen, please talk to me for a while."

She spoke very loudly. In the Yu Garden, there were several ladies who were walking and admiring the flowers. When they heard this, they just frowned slightly. It was obvious that they could not bear to see that Luo Xuening was the only one favored by the Queen.

As soon as she said this, Luo Xuening felt that someone was secretly glaring at her. Now, she became the target of everyone's criticism.

However, there was no other way. She felt very wronged. If this could be considered an honor for the queen, she would rather not have it.

As for the reason given by the palace maid, it was barely acceptable, but...

She smelled a conspiracy in this.

However, she had no right to refuse the Queen's order, and the palace was not a place where she could say no.

Luo Xue Ning took a deep breath, gave Huang Yingying beside her a comforting look, and then stood up. The clothes on her body were made of mulberry silk. As she walked, they shone like moonlight, so beautiful that it was hard to describe.

And the other meaning of Luo Xue Ning's look to Huang Yingying was that you have to act according to the circumstances and don't let the palace deal with me casually.

Luo Xuening still trusts Huang Yingying.

The maidservant beside her saw Luo Xuening wearing a mulberry silk robe that even the empresses in the palace might not be able to own. A hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes, and she immediately said with a fake smile: "The Prime Minister really feels sorry for the fourth young lady. There are only two mulberry silk robes like this in the palace now, and one is with the empress."

She opened the conversation here, and Luo Xuening couldn't help but be curious: "What about the other one?"

The palace maid snorted coldly: "The other one was buried with the deceased."

Luo Xuening's expression changed slightly. She naturally understood what the palace maid meant.

However, she was wrong about one thing. This dress was not given by the Prime Minister, but by Prince Jing.

If she had known that the dress was so precious, she really would not have worn it. Now, the Queen already had some opinions about her, and this was simply adding insult to injury.

However, the purpose of this palace maid saying these things was just to make Luo Xue Ning jealous. Even if Luo Xue Ning felt regretful in her heart, she would not show it. She just smiled openly and remained silent.

The maid still looked unfriendly: "He is a patient man."

This palace maid was the Empress's personal maid. It was said that she was very favored. Even the unfavored ladies in the palace had to show courtesy to her when they saw her.

Luo Xuening was silent for a moment, thinking, this palace maid has such a big tone.

It seems that the Queen has come well prepared this time.

Pretending not to hear the palace maid's cold snort, Luo Xuening followed with an expressionless face.

However, something seemed to be wrong as they walked further and further. This palace maid was apparently taking her to a remote place.

This was not the first time that Luo Xue Ning came to the palace. The last time, Long Mosun took her for a walk around the huge palace. Therefore, Luo Xue Ning was sure that the road in front of her was not the road to Kunning Palace at all.

She looked at the maid coldly: "Where are you taking me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an older palace maid came over here. She was very grand and was followed by four people.

The palace maid who brought Luo Xuening here ignored Luo Xuening and walked forward to greet her, calling the visitor "Auntie".

It seems that the other person's status and position is higher than hers.

The aunt glanced coldly, then stood in front of Luo Xuening, raised her head, and put on airs.

"Are you the fourth daughter of the Luo family?"

Luo Xuening turned her head away and ignored them. Even if that aunt had the trust of the empress, she was just a palace maid. If she really nodded in front of her, she would be agreeing to their intention to humiliate her.

The aunt had obviously never been ignored like this. She frowned and shouted angrily, "I'm asking you a question. Are you deaf?"

Although she was not overbearing in the palace, no one had ever dared to be so disrespectful to her. She immediately became angry.

Luo Xuening sneered at her and said, "Who are you to dare to talk to me like that?"

The aunt was stunned, obviously not expecting Luo Xuening to be so tough. You know, normally in the palace, even the emperor's concubines didn't dare to point at her nose and scold her. What kind of person is she?

Immediately, he moved his palm and raised his hand, intending to hit Luo Xuening, but Luo Xuening's expression froze and she turned her head away.

The maid next to my aunt was even angrier than she was: "How dare you hit my aunt?"

This is a deliberate distortion of the truth.

Luo Xuening smiled meaningfully: "Which eye of yours saw me hit her?"

She changed the subject, her eyes still fierce: "But you, you know that you are just a servant, how dare you hit the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

She asked back in a stern tone, her arrogant look making people swallow secretly.

However, the aunt was obviously still unwilling to give in. She didn't even think about the fact that even the empress let Luo Xuening go obediently last time and couldn't do anything to her. How could she, a mere palace maid, dare to provoke her? It was simply beyond her control and ridiculous.

"You, you dare to do that, you are disrespecting the queen, someone, pull her up for me."

As she spoke, the four people sent by my aunt were about to take action. Luo Xue Ning was well prepared and she kicked the person who took action directly from behind. She looked coldly at the people who fell to the ground in a row and stepped on one of them in the chest. All she could hear was the person sobbing softly.

Luo Xuening didn't care. Whoever yelled just now, that guy was the most ferocious. These people usually abused their power in public, so they had to be taught a lesson.

"You, you dare..."

Looking at her men who were knocked to the ground, the aunt cursed inwardly, "Useless things." But she herself just pointed at Luo Xue Ning and slowly backed away.

Her face was filled with anger, but she also knew that Luo Xue Ning was not someone to be trifled with. So, she could only stare at her but did not dare to go forward.

"I, I'm going to tell the Queen that you are so outrageous. There is no room for people like you in the palace."

Luo Xuening was waiting for their master to come. She knew that the Queen had no intention of giving her an easy time, but why did she send so many maids?

If the Queen is really dissatisfied with me, she should bring it up if she has the guts and confront me face to face, instead of playing these little tricks. Luo Xuening is really fed up with it.

"Then go tell your master that she is just a servant, yet she dares to be so arrogant and disrespectful in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If she can't even manage the servants, how can she manage the harem?"

The boast was a little too much. Luo Xue Ning felt a cold wind blowing past. The queen who had just been treated like a country bumpkin by her was now standing in front of her with a stern face, her almond eyes stern, and she looked majestic without being angry.

Luo Xue Ning almost bit her tongue, but she just raised her eyebrows and glanced at the empress as a courtesy. She really didn't feel that she was wrong at all.

Since you want to be opponents, why not just have a fight openly? Why choose such a shady place?

"Luo Xue Ning, you are really brave. You don't even take me seriously."

The Queen raised her eyebrows slightly. This majestic aura immediately made the servants around her feel intimidated. They glanced at Luo Xuening with cold eyes and looked at her arrogantly, as if they were taking advantage of the power of their master.

However, after the initial surprise, Luo Xuening narrowed her eyes slightly and said with a fake smile: "The Empress is in a serious situation. It is the Empress's maids who are disobedient and disrespectful. I teach them a lesson only for the Empress' wise consideration."

Luo Xuening just refuted casually. She understood that even if what she said made sense, the Queen was determined to cause trouble today.

Even if she had a silver tongue, it would be useless. What's more, she simply didn't have the, oh, thorough mind of the queen.

Luo Xuening has always been a straightforward person. When she meets a strong person, she will usually become stronger.

This attitude accidentally stabbed the Empress' heart again. She sneered and said, "When will it be your turn as a little concubine to take charge of my servants?"

The Queen knew where Luo Xuening's pain lay. For a person of her low status, what she cared about most was her own identity. The distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children was a burden on people of this era, a dead grass that could fall from their heads at any time.

However, the Queen was wrong. Luo Xuening had never been dissatisfied with her identity.

The original owner might care about this difference in identity, but she doesn't care about anything.

"That's what the queen taught me."

Luo Xuening lowered her eyes slightly, her tone was very respectful, but there was no respect at all on her calm face. There was only a gradual impatience.

The queen was completely enraged by her attitude. She had just punched cotton. If she hit it, she would be angry. If she didn't, she would still feel uncomfortable.

"Luo Xue Ning, who allowed you to be so rude in front of me? This is how you were taught to behave in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Kneel here for two hours until I calm down."

The Queen had originally intended to make things difficult for Luo Xue Ning. Today, even if Luo Xue Ning was respectful to her, the Queen could still find a reason to punish her. However, Luo Xue Ning was not very respectful, so naturally, the Queen did not even need to find an excuse and directly punished her to kneel down.

Luo Xue Ning knew that she couldn't escape, but after taking a look at the stiff ground, she gritted her teeth and knelt down anyway.

The queen nodded in satisfaction at the resounding sound and turned to her maid, Fan Rongfu: "Watch her here. Don't let her out for less than two hours."

Luo Xuening gritted her teeth secretly. She was afraid that after two hours, her legs would be broken from kneeling.

The Queen's move was truly vicious, and it was effective very quickly.

She actually used the tricks commonly used in the palace on herself. It's really...

Luo Xuening didn't know whether this was her luck or misfortune.

"The birthday banquet is about to begin, let's go."

The queen snorted coldly and walked away with a group of people with an expressionless face. As for the palace maid who was left to monitor Luo Xue Ning, she stared at Luo Xue Ning coldly, the smugness in her eyes could not be hidden. The person who was scared to death just now, now looked at Luo Xue Ning provocatively.

She wanted Luo Xue Ning to kneel for two hours intactly, without any loss. As for whether Luo Xue Ning would be disabled or dead after two hours, it would depend on her own luck.
