It was an absurd night. Prince Guo had not yet married at this time. He was really too enthusiastic.

Thinking that Prince Guo would have to do this and that with the women in the harem in the future, Jianqiu came up with an idea.

After Prince Guo put on his clothes, Jianqiu's eyes went dark.

When he opened his eyes again, the person wearing the dragon robe in front of him had indeed returned.

Jianqiu smiled slightly and felt that it was great to be reborn.

When paying respects, Concubine Hua was late as usual.

Yixiu can tolerate Concubine Hua, but Jianqiu cannot.

Jian Qiu said coldly, "Hua Fei, the palace has always had a set time for paying respects. You are a high-ranking concubine, but you don't set an example. I have no choice but to punish you."

Hua Fei rolled her eyes and said, "Empress, I have received the Emperor's order to help manage the six palaces. I was late looking at the account books at night, so I got up late. It's not intentional that I'm late. If Your Majesty wants to punish me, in addition to considering the palace rules, you also have to consider the situation."

Jianqiu looked at Shen Meizhuang and said, "Last time Concubine Shen went out, her clothes got dirty and that's why she came back late. Did Concubine Hua forget to clean up when she punished her in public?"

After these words were spoken, Concubine Hua was speechless.

Jian Qiu continued, "I will not punish you severely because of our friendship. I will fine you one month's salary like Concubine Shen. Are you willing to accept this?"

Concubine Hua nodded reluctantly and was about to get up and leave.

Jian Qiu said directly: "From now on, please pay your respects. Anyone who gets up and leaves in a hurry before I say goodbye will be fined three months' salary."

Concubine Hua turned around and looked angrily at Jianqiu, but Jianqiu smiled warmly.

The emperor was afraid of the Nian family, so he favored Concubine Hua who was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.

The Queen and the Emperor are in the same boat and want to let Concubine Hua step on her head, but Jianqiu will not do that.

Hua Fei saw that the Queen was different today, and she actually felt a little scared. If she didn't do what the Queen said, something terrible might happen.

Hua Fei endured it, then thought of what happened yesterday, and said, "Yesterday, I found someone secretly building a swing in the imperial garden. After some investigation, I found that it was someone around Sui Yuxuan Wan Chang who did it."

Jianqiu continued, "Oh? Isn't Wan Changzai ill?"

Concubine Hua sneered and said, "I asked a maid from Suiyuxuan and found out that Wan Chang was always lively and energetic and was not sick at all."

Shen Meizhuang quickly said, "In reply to the Empress and Concubine Hua, Concubine Wan is indeed ill, and Doctor Wen from the Imperial Hospital has testified for Concubine Wan."

Jianqiu said directly: "Please ask two more imperial doctors to treat Wan Changzai. If she recovers, hang up her green card as soon as possible."

Concubine Hua said dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty, Wan Changzai ordered people to set up a swing in the imperial garden. She must be punished."

Jian Qiu nodded and asked, "Then according to Concubine Hua's opinion, how should we punish her?"

Hua Fei glanced at Shen Meizhuang and said, "According to palace rules, she should be punished with fifty strokes of the cane. If Wan Changzai is still ill, then let's give her twenty strokes."

When Shen Meizhuang heard this, she immediately knelt down and said, "Madam Hua Fei, Wan Chang has always been weak and cannot bear such a severe punishment."

Concubine Hua smiled and said, "I have already shown mercy. If Concubine Shen wants to take the punishment on behalf of Concubine Wan, I will consider it."

After hearing this, Shen Meizhuang said without hesitation, "I am willing to take the punishment for Concubine Wan."

Concubine Hua's smile deepened as she said, "Mrs. Shen is not ill. She will be punished with fifty strokes of the cane."

Hearing this, Shen Meizhuang didn't even frown and said, "I am willing."
