Concubine Hua has been favored since she was in the palace, to the point that she looks down on everyone.

Even the Queen always lost more than she won when facing Concubine Hua. This was all because she was favored by the Emperor and no one could match her.

Over time, from the Queen to the ordinary concubines, no one was willing to be an enemy of Concubine Hua.

After all, the emperor dotes on Concubine Hua, and if anyone makes things difficult for Concubine Hua, it would be tantamount to making things difficult for the emperor.

So, when Concubine Hua brought up the emperor, the queen no longer wanted to continue talking.

It was just another loss of face, and she had long been accustomed to it.

This is a good opportunity to make these new concubines in the palace turn away from Concubine Hua, which is also a good thing.

The Queen thought so in her heart, and with a smile on her face, she said softly: "Sister, you have to serve the Emperor, so it is inevitable that you will be a little tired. Even the Emperor understands you, so how can I blame you?"

At this point, the Queen paused deliberately, and waited until Hua Fei sat down leisurely before continuing, "I have previously told His Majesty that Sister Hua Fei has to help me manage the affairs of the six palaces and serve the Emperor, so it is inevitable that she will not have enough energy. However, I can exempt my sister from the etiquette of greeting. However, the Emperor said that this is the family law of our ancestors and it cannot be violated. Therefore, I have to trouble my sister."

As soon as the Queen said this, the smile on Concubine Hua's face, which was originally full of determination, suddenly froze, and then she looked at the Queen with a cold look in her eyes.

Although the Queen's tone was full of sympathy for Concubine Hua, at the end she changed the subject and directly used the Emperor to emphasize her identity as the master of the six palaces, which could be regarded as an invisible counterattack.

But Concubine Hua couldn't refute, not only because the Queen brought up the Emperor, but also because what the Queen was emphasizing at the moment was the difference between primary and secondary!

The queen was telling her that no matter how ostentatious she was in her daily life, a concubine was still a concubine, and the queen was still a queen, and it was the same for a wife and a concubine!

Hua Fei naturally also heard the Queen's hidden meaning. At this moment, she felt her face burning and her heart was filled with hatred.

"Your Majesty is right!"

Concubine Qi always followed the Empress' lead, and she and Concubine Hua did not get along well. Seeing Concubine Hua being humiliated, she was naturally very happy and immediately spoke out in agreement.

"But you don't have to worry, sister. Now there is a new person entering the palace, who can naturally share your worries."

The Queen smiled and said, "Noble Lady Shen is quite similar to Concubine Jing in her youth. The Emperor asked me to teach her more about the affairs of the six palaces, so that she can share the worries for my sister in the future!"

As soon as the Queen said this, all kinds of eyes flew to Shen Meizhuang.

Even though she came from a prominent family and had received all kinds of etiquette training, Shen Meizhuang still felt like a thorn in her side, and the smile on her face seemed a little forced.

Seeing this, An Lingrong sighed in her heart.

The Queen's move seemed to be to promote Shen Meizhuang, but in fact it was also to attract firepower to Shen Meizhuang and use her to directly attack Concubine Hua.

After hearing what the Queen said, everyone would only think that Shen Meizhuang was indeed favored by the Emperor recently, and since even the Queen thought so highly of her, wouldn't she be able to rise to a high position in the future?

Not to mention Concubine Hua, she was already quite proud of the fact that the Emperor had granted her the power to assist in managing the six palaces, and she used this to compete with the Empress.

What’s going on with the appearance of Shen Meizhuang now?

"Huichun, serve the tea!"

The queen seemed not to notice the different reactions of the crowd. She smiled slightly and ordered the palace maid to serve tea to everyone.

Then, the Queen seemed to remember something and asked the unmoved Concubine Hua, "Oh, sister, I gave you a maid to use earlier, why is Fuzi not here today?"

"Haha, if Her Majesty the Queen doesn't want to talk about it, that's fine. Speaking of Fuzi, I really don't understand it either!"

When Hua Fei was questioned by the Queen, a trace of anger appeared on her face, and she said directly: "She was not attentive when serving me. I just said a few words casually, and she left directly. Now she has not returned to Yikun Palace. I wonder where she went to play?"

"Oh, Sister Hua Fei, it's so easy for you to say that. Your Yikun Palace is not something that ordinary people can serve. It's natural that some little palace maids can't bear it."

Concubine Qi did not want to miss the opportunity to strike at Concubine Hua, so she attacked immediately.

Concubine Hua already hated Concubine Qi to the core, and now seeing Concubine Qi coming out to make things difficult for her again, she immediately wanted to retort.

"Cough, cough!" Unexpectedly, at this moment, Concubine Cao suddenly coughed lightly, and then whispered something to Concubine Hua.

After hearing what Concubine Cao said, Concubine Hua immediately showed a smug look on her face, and said, "Concubine Qi, are you saying that this palace maid is more powerful than her master?"

"I..." Concubine Qi was stunned. She didn't know how to refute it, but she said hesitantly: "Of course I didn't mean that!"

Although Concubine Qi was not smart, she knew the palace rules and ancestral regulations.

For example, what the Queen said to Hua Fei before seemed to be expressing her sympathy for Hua Fei, but in fact she was saying what she said when she was chatting with the Emperor, and the Emperor recognized her status as his wife.

Hua Fei's favor came from the emperor. Faced with the "ancestral etiquette and laws" approved by the emperor, Hua Fei naturally could not disobey.

Similarly, Concubine Hua is now bringing up her own identity and that of a palace maid. If Concubine Qi wants to continue attacking her, she would be disrespecting the palace rules!

"Okay, okay, we are all sisters, why do we have to do this?"

The Queen watched them arguing with each other and felt extremely disappointed with Concubine Qi.

Although she gave birth to a child and became the head of a palace, this was almost the limit for Concubine Qi.

She is now old and ugly, and has long lost favor. It is only because of the affection they had in their early years and the fact that she has a son that the emperor is willing to give some respect to such an old woman, so it can be said that she has some status.

But if you want to count on Concubine Qi to share your favor, that is a complete daydream!

When the Queen thought of this, she glanced at An Lingrong and the others. When she saw Zhen Huan's face that was very similar to her sister's, her eyes suddenly darkened.

"Forget it, let's all go."

The queen waved her hand and dismissed the morning meeting.

"Humph!"

Concubine Hua snorted coldly, glared at Concubine Qi, and then was the first to stand up and leave.

"My three young masters, please stay!"

Just when An Lingrong was about to return to Sui Yuxuan with Zhen Huan and the others, a voice suddenly came from behind them.

An Lingrong stopped and turned around, and saw Jianqiu slowly approaching, smiling and saying, "My lady, the Queen wants to see you, please follow me."

When they heard that it was the Queen who summoned them, even Zhen Huan showed surprise on her face, not to mention Chun'er.

An Lingrong was undoubtedly the most able to remain calm among the three, and she was well aware of the Queen's summons.

"Thank you for your help, auntie."

An Lingrong said this to Jianqiu, and at the same time signaled Zhen Huan to come back to her senses quickly.

"Thank you, aunt." After An Lingrong's reminder, Zhen Huan finally reacted and nodded to Jianqiu.

Jianqiu smiled slightly and motioned for them to follow her.
