After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn

"I will always remember the Queen's kindness." Upon seeing this, Yi Chongrong knelt down quickly to express her gratitude.

Zheng Xiyan played with the jade ruyi in her hand and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you so much, as long as you take care of your body and get pregnant again, this will be your repayment for my kindness."

When Yi Chongrong heard this, her face suddenly changed, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I will definitely take care of my body and give birth to many children for Your Majesty."

"That's great. The same goes for the other sisters. Your Majesty has few children now, with only two princes and three princesses in the palace. I hope that all the sisters can serve your Majesty wholeheartedly and give birth to children for you." Zheng Xiyan said some polite words as usual.

"Yes, I will keep it in mind. Thank you, Queen."

Zheng Xiyan looked at Concubine Xian again and said, "Concubine Xian!"

"Empress!" Concubine Xian leaned forward slightly and replied quickly.

"You have done a great job in managing the harem these days. Thank you for your hard work. A few days ago, the Jiangning Weaving Factory sent us several pieces of the best brocade. I will keep one for you. You can take it back and make some clothes!" After saying that, Shuang Ning walked up to Concubine Xian, holding a piece of brocade.

"Thank you for your gift, Her Majesty. It is my honor to serve you." Concubine Xian stood up and bowed to express her gratitude.

"Okay, sit down!"

"There's nothing else to do today, let's all go!"

"I will take my leave."

Everyone left the Weiyang Palace, and Concubine Xian got on the sedan chair and left the Weiyang Palace.

Then Wen Chongyi got on the sedan chair and left.

Caiwei, who was beside Yi Chongrong, said softly, "My queen, we have to go to Shoukang Palace quickly."

"What's the hurry?" Yi Chongrong looked unhappy. Her temper had been getting worse and worse these days. She would take it out on Caiwei all the time. Caiwei felt wronged and was in great pain.

Xu Chongyuan heard this and sneered, "Yi Chongrong should go to Shoukang Palace as soon as possible! If you go too late and make the Empress Dowager unhappy, you will be the one who will suffer."

"You... Xu Chongyuan, although you and I are both ninth concubines, I am above you. How dare you speak to me like this." Yi Chongrong was acting arrogantly at this time. She knew that everyone in the palace looked down on her. Even though she was now one of the ninth concubines, they still looked down on her.

Xu Chongyuan's face changed slightly, and she said in a cold and disdainful voice: "I don't deserve what Madam Chongrong said. I was just giving you a kind reminder."

Although Yi Chongrong's current position is higher than hers, she was born a dancer after all. Her father is an official in the court, and she herself was selected into the palace through a formal selection. After all, her family background is more noble than hers, so what is there to be afraid of?

Caiwei tugged at her sleeve and said softly, "My queen, we'd better hurry to Shoukang Palace."

Yi Chongrong clenched her hands, knowing that she was in a bad situation, so she had to swallow her anger, "I am a magnanimous person, I won't argue with you."

"Empress Chongrong, take care!" Xu Chongyuan looked at her with a subtle expression.

Yi Chongrong got on the sedan chair and said, "Go to Shoukang Palace."

"Yes!"

After Yi Chongrong walked away, Lady Li and Xu Chongyuan walked back together.

"Sister, why bother with her?" Lady Li whispered.

"Hmph! When I had a miscarriage, His Majesty only made me Chongyuan in order to appease me. But when she had a miscarriage, His Majesty directly made her Chongrong, which is above me. A mere dancer, why?" Xu Chongyuan was unwilling to accept this. A dancer who was a hundred times more humble than her actually climbed above her. How could she accept this?

"But look, sister, she has fallen out of favor now." Lady Li shook her head and chuckled.

Xu Chongyuan sneered, "She is overestimating herself. Does she really think she is special in His Majesty's heart? There are so many women in the harem, even the Empress dare not show disrespect to His Majesty, but she really thinks she is so great."

"It's her own fault, and you can't blame anyone else. Now the Queen Mother intends to temper her temper, and even if Your Majesty wants to protect her, there's nothing you can do."

"Who says it's not?"

Shoukang Palace

The Queen Mother summoned her and said, "I pay my respects to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed with good health."

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and looked at her. With just one glance, she could see her reluctance. She looked serious and said in a cold voice, "You have copied the Buddhist scriptures these days. Do you know why I asked you to copy the Buddhist scriptures?"

Yi Chongrong lowered her head and said with a face full of grievance: "Empress Dowager, I am really stupid and don't understand what you mean."

"Hmph! Didn't you please the Emperor before? You tricked the Emperor into favoring you alone, and I thought you were a smart person." The Empress Dowager looked at him with disdain. Such a person is really useless!

Caiwei knelt behind her, worried about her. Before coming, she repeatedly reminded her not to look sad, but she obviously didn't listen.

"Empress Dowager, I didn't..." Yi Chongrong retorted weakly in a low voice. She looked so pitiful that the Empress Dowager felt annoyed when she saw her.

"No? You've already done it, and now you say no?" The Empress Dowager raised her voice, a little annoyed.

Yi Chongrong quickly shook her head and replied pitifully, "Empress Dowager, you have misunderstood me."

The Queen Mother sneered, "Misunderstanding? I am not deaf or blind. I can hear and see for myself."

"Empress Dowager, I am your concubine..." Yi Chongrong's tears flowed down her face, and she cried like a pear blossom in the rain, which was really annoying.

"Alright, your little tricks are useless in front of me, you should stay and act in front of the emperor!"

"The Empress Dowager..."

"Do you know why I hate you?"

"I don't know."

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "When the late emperor was alive, he also took two dancers as concubines. They relied on the late emperor's favor and ignored the superiors and subordinates, causing trouble in this palace. Since then, I have been full of prejudice against dancers. When you first entered the palace, I was also prejudiced against you, but after testing you for a few days, I thought you would be different, but now it seems that I was not wrong about you."

"Your concubine..." Yi Chongrong's eyes were red and her face was full of grievance.

"Everyone has seen what you did since you became pregnant, but I didn't blame you because I thought you were pregnant. Then you had a miscarriage and lost the child. I felt sorry for you, but what did you do afterwards?"

Yi Chongrong had been kneeling on the ground for a long time, and her knees were a little bit tired. Now she looked aggrieved and asked, "I really don't know what I did wrong. I lost my child and I am heartbroken. Is it wrong to be sad?"

"I have also experienced the pain of losing a child, and more than once. You can be sad, but this is the imperial palace, and the imperial palace has its own rules." The Empress Dowager's face darkened completely, and her voice was filled with suppressed anger.

Yi Chongrong cried and said, "I don't understand."
