Afterwards, Concubine Hua asked Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan again like she did in her previous life.

At first, An Lingrong thought that Concubine Hua called them both because Zhen Huan was given a title by the Emperor and Shen Meizhuang was close to Zhen Huan. Now it seems that it is not the case.

In her previous life, because she was close to both of them, she was afraid that Concubine Hua would order her.

From this, it seems that Concubine Hua probably wanted to see who the two people who stood out in the talent show that day were.

Oh, that's even worse. I should have been in the spotlight on the day of the selection because of Queen Chunyuan's voice. Although I am from a humble family, I was granted the title of a concubine this time, and Concubine Hua also gave me a reward a few days ago.

Oh my god, will Concubine Hua choose me? I started to get nervous again.

Shen Meizhuang was caught praising Concubine Hua for her beauty just like in her previous life, and Zhen Huan stepped in to help her out. Then An Lingrong felt that Concubine Hua's gaze seemed to be coming towards her.

Ah, Concubine Li!

"I heard that the aunt who teaches Wan Changzai is Aunt Fangruo who is by the emperor's side. How come she is so ignorant of etiquette?" Lipin suddenly spoke.

Concubine Hua was interrupted and couldn't help but look at Concubine Li. An Lingrong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Concubine Li, for your kindness. When you go to the cold palace, I will definitely not let the Ministry of Internal Affairs lack food for you."

For someone like Concubine Hua, in such an occasion, if she goes along with Concubine Hua, the Queen will be angry; if the Queen goes along with Concubine Hua, the Concubine will be angry. It is best for her not to get involved. After all, she cannot fall out with the Queen now, but she also cannot offend the boss who she shouldn't.

When Zhen Huan heard Concubine Li calling her, she immediately knelt down before Concubine Li. When Concubine Hua heard Concubine Li say that Zhen Huan didn't know etiquette, she took a look at Zhen Huan and immediately realized the problem with her position.

"In our Qing Dynasty, the Manchus and Mongols were always first and the Hans second, and the left was respected. How dare Wan Changzai, who is a Han army flag Changzai, stand in this most honorable position?"

Zhen Huan hurriedly explained to Concubine Hua that she forgot about the problem because she was happy when she saw Shen Meizhuang. Shen Meizhuang also hurriedly knelt down to plead for Zhen Huan.

An Lingrong, who was standing behind, couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart. How come the "female Zhuge Liang" became so stupid?

As expected, Concubine Hua immediately turned her attention to Shen Meizhuang: "I just said that the Manchus and Mongols should come first, and the Han people second. Although Concubine Shen is a noble lady, she is also a Han army flag. According to the rules, you should stand in the second row on the left, but you actually stood in the first row. This is a crime of disrespect."

After all, they were young, and when they heard this, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were both panicked.

"Okay, it's just a standing position." The queen spoke at the right time, but did not say how to punish.

After all, the Queen knew very well that Shen Meizhuang was summoned into the palace by the Emperor to restrain Concubine Hua, and Zhen Huan was a replica of Chun Yuan. Naturally, it was not up to her to decide how to punish her.

"Hmph, the Queen is so magnanimous that she can forgive them for this. According to the rules, these two should be beaten to death immediately."

"Sister, you are too serious. It's just a position and they have just entered the palace. This punishment is too severe." The Queen was very happy and treated Concubine Hua very well and continued.

"Hmph, then how does Her Majesty the Queen think we should punish them?"

"Considering that it's their first offense, just punish them both with house confinement." The queen only said the punishment was house confinement, but didn't say how long. And so, after all, they would be called up, and the emperor wouldn't be able to see these two people by then. If they were confined for too long, he would blame her.

"Shen Guiren and Wan Changzai do not know etiquette, they are confined to their homes for three months and punished to copy the palace rules twenty times." What! An Lingrong was shocked. Three months of confinement, that's not okay. Three months is when she plans to be called by the emperor.

In order to please Concubine Hua, she could not serve the emperor in the emperor's bedchamber at least until December. Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan were confined to the emperor until December, which completely ruined her plan.

"Sister, your words are too kind. Considering that this is your first offense, I will just ground you for a month." Thank you, Queen, for your kindness.

"The Queen is so generous. Then the two of you will be confined to your rooms for a month. You must recite the palace rules twenty times, not once less."

"Yes, I understand." Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang hurriedly thanked her.

It should have ended here, but Hua Fei suddenly said: "Shen Guiren and Wan Changzai are standing in the wrong position. Although the Queen has only confined you for a month, the rules are the rules. Line up and start again."

Several people quickly lined up, this time Noble Lady Fucha stood on the left side of the first row, Noble Lady Borjigit stood on the right side of the first row, and on the left side of the second row was Shen Meizhuang. Although Zhen Huan had a title, she was also a Changzai of the Han Army Flag. Although a title was half a level higher, her background was there, so next to Shen Meizhuang was Chun Changzai of the Manchu Army Flag, and on the left side of the third row was Yan Changzai of the Mongolian Army Flag, and on the right was Zhen Huan.

Xia Dongchun's family background is higher than An Lingrong's, so Xia Dongchun stood on the left side of the fourth row, and An Lingrong still stood at the end in this life.

After standing up, they saluted again, which took a long time. Because the rewards were prepared in advance, the queen said a few words to serve the emperor well and expand the royal family.

Because the Queen Mother was ill, she exempted the concubines from paying their respects, and the Queen let them take their rewards and leave.
