According to the regulations of the Qing Palace, all the beauties who passed the election and were kept on the list would be taught etiquette and rules by the palace governesses while waiting for the imperial edict to be issued, to ensure that they would not behave improperly after entering the palace.

Because of this, when everyone saw Xia Dongchun's clerical behavior towards the Queen was messy, they couldn't help but look at him sideways.

Except for An Lingrong, whether it was Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang, or the Borjigit noblewoman from the Mongolian military banner, it was the first time for them to see such a ridiculous thing, and their expressions were indescribable.

The queen originally thought that Xia Dongchun was beautiful but brainless, and if she could use her skills, she might be a good chess piece. However, who would have thought that she would embarrass herself in public on such an occasion? Now, seeing Xia Dongchun wearing clothes made of the fabric she gave her, she felt it was extremely dazzling.

"Sisters, please stand up."

The queen was unhappy in her heart but did not show it on her face. She waved her hand at the concubines.

The queen wanted to quickly skip this step to avoid any further complications.

But how could Concubine Hua miss such a good opportunity?

Originally, when Huang Guiquan went to Yiku Palace to report that day, he emphasized on describing Xia Dongchun's rudeness and unreasonableness. For this reason, Concubine Hua had already kept it in mind.

When she saw him today, she recognized that the clothes Xia Dongchun was wearing were all awarded by the Queen. Now that Xia Dongchun was in trouble, Concubine Hua could use her to attack the Queen!

Hua Fei suddenly smiled and said calmly, "Who taught Concubine Xia how to behave in this manner? Facing the mistress of the Six Palaces, she dares to be so presumptuous. She is really arrogant!"

"Your Majesty! I dare not!"

Xia Dongchun really did not take the governess sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs seriously that day. She even thought that she had already mastered the etiquette very well and did not need to practice it again and again.

But now, compared with An Lingrong and the others, the difference is obvious. Xia Dongchun also noticed his own conspicuousness at that time, and he really wanted to dig a hole in the ground and bury himself in public.

Facing Concubine Hua's attack, Xia Dongchun no longer had her previous eloquence, but was instead extremely terrified.

She was not only afraid of Concubine Hua, but also realized that she had been impolite in front of the Queen, which was really stirring up a hornet's nest!

"Alright, alright. After all, Concubine Xia is still young and has just entered the palace. It is inevitable that there are things she cannot take into account. This is also human nature. Why do you have to be so harsh, Sister Huafei?"

To be fair, the Queen doesn't have much affection for Xia Dongchun now.

But by saying this, Concubine Hua undoubtedly gave the Queen an opportunity to "show mercy".

Concubine Hua thought that if she held on to this matter, she could give the Queen a slap in the face and at the same time show off her power in front of the six concubines. However, she didn't expect that the Queen could also use this to achieve a great result with little effort!

Compared to Concubine Hua's aggressive tone, the Queen had a kind face. Even when facing Xia Dongchun who was disrespectful in front of her, she did not blame him at all. Instead, she comforted him. She was so magnanimous, although in fact many concubines admired the Queen very much.

"The Queen is kind-hearted and truly a role model for the six palaces!"

Concubine Qi has always been the Queen's loyal supporter. At this moment, she didn't even need the Queen to give any eye hints. She just took the initiative to move forward.

An Lingrong watched the scene coldly, and then secretly looked at Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang. Sure enough, she saw that they both looked at the Queen with admiration.

Haha, she really deserves to be the queen. Her acting skills are truly the best in the harem!

"Humph!"

At the same time, Concubine Hua realized belatedly that she was helping the Queen by letting her take advantage of the situation to show off her virtues in front of others, and she snorted coldly immediately.

"My lady..."

According to Hua Fei's character, she was about to fight back immediately, but at this time a woman sitting opposite her shook her head slightly at her.

Although Cao Qinmo was only a noble lady, she had some status in front of the emperor because she gave birth to Princess Wen Yi. In addition, she was dependent on Concubine Hua, which made her like a military advisor.

Although Concubine Hua had always looked down on Cao Qinmo, she knew very well that she was scheming and had always been loyal to her. Now, facing Cao Qinmo's advice, Concubine Hua narrowed her eyes and swallowed her words back.

Forget it, I was careless today, so I gave the Queen the opportunity!

There is a long way to go, so let’s just wait and see!

"Well, sisters, it's time to get to know the sisters in the palace so that you can live in harmony in the future."

The Queen was originally in a bad mood because of Xia Dongchun, but now she was secretly competing with Concubine Hua and had won back the game. The smile on her face instantly became much more genuine.

Following the Queen's signal, Jiang Hu Hai said in his sharp voice, "Below the Queen, there are Concubine Duan, Concubine Qi, and Concubine Hua in the palace. These three are all the masters of a palace. However, Concubine Duan has been ill and did not come today, so the ladies will not be able to see her!"

After Jiang Fuhai introduced the three high-ranking concubines in the harem besides the queen, he saw the queen's eye signal, so he said: "Please all the ladies pay their respects to Concubine Qi!"

"cough!"

Concubine Qi had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Now seeing everyone turning to her and bowing to her, a smug expression immediately appeared on her face, but then she covered it up with a dry cough.

"Good luck to Concubine Qi!"

An Lingrong followed the crowd and slowly bowed to Concubine Qi. Then she glanced at the Queen and saw that the smile on the Queen's lips was a little stiff.

At the same time, Concubine Hua's face darkened again.

What a good Jiang Fuhai! He is truly a loyal dog beside the Queen!

They actually dared to introduce her after the old woman Concubine Qi. This was clearly the Queen's order!

Hua Fei was angry, so when the eight newlyweds came to pay homage to her, she pretended to ignore them. Instead, she brushed her hair and casually stroked a jade bracelet on her hand.

"Alas, although this bracelet is nice, I always feel that it is a little inappropriate when I wear it."

Hua Fei seemed to be talking to herself. After she finished, she turned to the Queen and said, "Don't you like jade very much? If you don't mind, I will give you this bracelet!"

Seeing that Concubine Hua did not use the earrings to provoke the Queen as she did in her previous life, but instead used the bracelet to tease the other party, An Lingrong felt that it was not unfair that she was defeated by Zhen Huan in the end.

Although Hua Fei is in a high position, she mainly relies on her mother's family's outstanding military achievements. There may also be some true love from the emperor, but how much of it is probably only the emperor himself knows.

And if there is no "military advisor" like Cao Qinmo to give guidance from time to time, Hua Fei alone will not be able to maintain her power to cooperate with the six palaces for long!

Indeed, the reason why Concubine Hua is so powerful now is not only because the Nian family is the hero who helped the emperor ascend the throne, but also because the emperor dotes on her.

Even though she was a legitimate queen, Ulanara had to stay away from her.

But without Cao Qinmo's advice, the Queen only needed to set a few more traps and Concubine Hua would fall into them herself. After this happened too many times, the Emperor could no longer cover up for her in public.

Just as An Lingrong was looking at the Queen, waiting to see how she would break the impasse, a report from the eunuch supervisor suddenly came from outside the palace gate!
