"It is said in The Analects of Confucius: Duke Ling of Wei, 'There is no distinction in teaching.'" Yihuan looked at Concubine Jia and spoke lightly.

"It is rare that Concubine Ling has the desire to learn. Concubine Jia is of high status, and her parents and family are prosperous. How could she not know such truth?"

Jin Yuyan was choked for a moment and didn't know how to answer. She was neither Han nor Manchu, but from the Northern Dynasty of Korea. She did not understand "The Analects of Confucius" and did not know what Yihuan was talking about.

I can only say awkwardly, "I don't understand these things, but Noble Lady Ling used to work for me, and now we are sisters, so I naturally have to care about you."

Jin Yuyan made up an excuse at random, feeling that there were two differences in her heart. She didn't know what happened today, but one after another, people jumped out to speak for Wei Yanwan.

It can only be attributed to the fact that she mocked Yan Wan, which caused the two people's sense of justice to burst out. It is normal that Concubine Mei cares about her status and Concubine Shu cares about literature.

But Shupin and Meipin are like two hot water kettles that may erupt at any time. You have to be careful when dealing with them.

Jin Yuyan was speechless. She had to be more careful in the future and stay away from these two people so as not to offend them again. Sometimes they were really inexplicable.

Yanwan looked at Yihuan with a grateful look, and Yihuan smiled calmly and nodded, as if it was just a casual thing.

Yanwan nodded to Meipin again, unable to suppress the smile on her face, and happily fiddled with the collar of her clothes.

The others saw Yan Wan being ridiculed by Concubine Jia and having the support of Concubine Mei and Concubine Shu. Although they were a little wary, they still felt disdainful when they saw her showing joy when she had the upper hand.

At first glance, you can tell he is petty-minded. His happiness and anger are written all over his face, and you can tell at a glance. It's very simple.

Seeing Yan Wan so happy, Jin Yuyan wanted to pinch her hard so that her delicate face would shed tears and she could vent her anger.

Ruyi was shocked that Concubine Jia suffered some verbal losses. Concubine Jia had always been outspoken, which made Ruyi unable to cope with many times.

Ruyi was really displeased by this kind of verbal dispute. Now Wei Yanwan was humble in front of her, but she was a completely different person in front of Concubine Jia.

Hai Lan moved closer to Ruyi and quietly reminded her, "Sister, this noble lady Ling is docile in front of us, but becomes arrogant and domineering in front of others."

Hai Lan rolled her eyes, thinking that Wei Yanwan was really hypocritical and two-faced. "She tried her best to seduce the emperor, and once she succeeded, she became proud of herself because she was different from before."

Ruyi raised her index finger, and the armor on her little finger and ring finger shone slightly in the light. She used her middle finger and palm to smooth out the wrinkles on her dress.

"She chose her own path. What's wrong with pursuing wealth and fame? Everyone likes to enjoy happiness, not to suffer. So this shows some persistence, which is precious."

She raised her eyebrows and looked at Hailan, smiling elegantly, showing her generosity. "Hailan, since Lady Ling herself doesn't regret it, we don't have to feel sorry for her."

Hailan nodded, with a somewhat genuine smile on her face, "Yes, sister."

I felt happy in my heart because of what Ruyi said "we", and at the same time, I felt that I and my sister had the same thoughts.

With just a few words, the two of them labeled Yan Wan a proud and extravagant person.

Ruyi and Hailan have suffered countless anger from Jin Yuyan, and have endured a lot of verbal abuse, squeezes, and sarcasm, which has formed their perception.

Both of them knew that Jin Yuyan was not easy to deal with and was a smart and manipulative person. So Yanwan, who caused Jin Yuyan to lose verbal battle, was naturally more insidious and cunning than Jin Yuyan.

They also didn't realize that it was Jin Yuyan who first thought of using Ying'er's past to control Yanwan.

After all, in the minds of Ruyi and others, if they were ridiculed or their treatment was deducted, they should just endure it for a while, and there was no reason to resist in person.

Now the one who dared to resist was Wei Yanwan, whom they disliked. They also felt that fighting for verbal advantage was meaningless and despised by them.

But is this non-contention because one is too disdainful to contend, or is it because one knows that one simply cannot win, so one keeps giving in under the pretext of being noble?

Even when her maiden name was ridiculed and Yanwan, who represented her maiden name, was bullied, she did not defend herself but instead peeked in at the jokes of those she disliked.

I even feel that I shouldn't fight back so decisively, and should just stay in the corner like a person who keeps stinking up.

However, such obscure thoughts will not occur to noble people, they only exist in the subconscious where thoughts have not yet reached.

"The Queen has arrived." Zhao Yita's face was serious as he announced the news of the Queen's arrival, interrupting the thoughts of everyone in the harem.

Langya was wearing a bright yellow Manchu dress, which was not complicated, except for a peony pattern embroidered on the hem of her dress, which made her look elegant and dignified.

Bright yellow is a color that only the queen can wear. This outfit is unlike Langya's usual casual attire, but it reveals the majesty of the queen.

Langya's yellow figure walked into the hall and slowly sat down on the chair in the middle. This yellow color slightly hurt Ruyi's eyes, it was really bright and dazzling, which made her not very fond of it.

Everyone stood up and saluted, saying in unison, "Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen."

Langya nodded and smiled faintly, "No need to be polite, I am late and have kept you waiting."

Concubine Jia smiled and flattered, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I and the others have nothing to do, so it's fine to chat in your palace."

Langya nodded at her, "Empress Jia, you are sincere." Then she turned around and glanced at everyone present, looking at each one of them.

All the concubines were dressed beautifully yet dignifiedly, which was quite harmonious. Seeing Yanwan sitting among them and looking at her innocently, Langya's smile deepened a little.

But when she glanced to the end, she saw Ruyi's faint and noble smile, and Langya's smile suddenly disappeared a little. She really didn't want to see Ruyi like this.

"My dear sisters, why are you all dressed so festively today?" Langya looked away and turned to look at Yanwan. She felt a little better when she was staring at someone else.

Yan Wan explained softly, "Empress, I have learned that the disease has dissipated, and the Emperor also said that the smallpox epidemic outside the palace has been resolved, so I came here to congratulate you."

Concubine Jia glanced at Yan Wan, not wanting her to be so prominent. In order to please the Queen, she also said, "There are not many people infected with the smallpox in the palace. This is naturally the credit of the Queen. She manages the harem in an orderly manner, so I can sit here safely."

What the two said touched Langya's heart. What she was worried about now was that after the smallpox epidemic, everyone in the harem would think she was partial.

The words of Yan Wan and Jin Yuyan made her uneasiness dissipate a little. Although Fu Cha was in a high position, she had to be vigilant at all times and not give anyone a handle that would allow malicious people to take advantage of her.
