An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

"Originally, I didn't want to come here to disturb the Queen at this time, but Miss Songzhi came and said that she was ordered by Concubine Hua to let us understand the cause and effect of the incident involving Noblewoman Borjigit..."

Faced with Jianqiu's inquiring gaze, Jingpin had no time to hesitate and simply repeated what Songzhi had said to them when she went to Xianfu Palace before.

As soon as these words were spoken, Songzhi's expression changed suddenly.

She didn't expect that Concubine Jing would dare to be so direct and not give Concubine Hua any face at all. However, these words were just said by her, and now, Songzhi didn't know how to refute.

"hehe!"

Upon hearing this, Jianqiu burst into laughter.

However, her smile did not reach her eyes.

"I am really curious!"

Although Jianqiu seemed to be talking to Jingpin, her eyes were always on Songzhi.

This cold look made Songzhi feel guilty, so she turned her head away slightly, not daring to look him in the face.

But Jianqiu didn't care about this at all, and said in a deep voice: "The Queen is the master of the six palaces. Even if the Queen Concubine Hua assists in managing the six palaces, it doesn't make sense! It's already midnight. Even if your Queen is responsible for the safety of Borjigit and the heir, she should wait until dawn!"

Jianqiu's tone was very cold, and her eyes were full of murderous intent, which immediately frightened Songzhi and made her dare not act presumptuously here again.

In the end, Songzhi left in shame without even looking at Jingpin again the whole time.

After repelling Songzhi, Jianqiu turned her attention to Jingpin.

But Jingpin was "forced" to come here in the first place. Since Songzhi had been dealt with, there was no need for her to stay any longer.

"Miss Jianqiu is right. Since the Queen has worked so hard, I naturally don't want to disturb her any further. I will leave now!"

Jingpin didn't want to be taught a lesson by Jianqiu here, so after saying this, she turned around and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Jianqiu suddenly called out to Jingpin.

"Please stay, Madam Jingpin!"

Hearing this, Jingpin was stunned for a moment, then stopped and waited for Jianqiu's next words.

"I know that Your Majesty is actually unwilling to get involved in all that right and wrong. She is just forced to do so by the situation. But I still want to advise Your Majesty that as the head of a palace, you must have your own stance and not just follow the crowd!"

After saying this, Jianqiu bowed to Jingpin, then turned around and left without saying anything more.

Faced with a palace maid who dared to advise her, Jingpin did not get angry or feel embarrassed. Instead, she showed a thoughtful expression.

Then, Concubine Jing seemed to remember something, sighed, and walked out of Jingren Palace.

……

Songzhi forced Jingpin to rush to Jingren Palace in the middle of the night, but she was not able to see the queen. Instead, she was scolded and left in disgrace.

The news spread like wildfire the next morning, and of course eventually reached Concubine Hua's ears.

"What a useless piece of trash!"

When Concubine Hua got up, she was in a good mood, but when she heard the result of Songzhi's failed return, the smile disappeared from her face.

At the same time, because she was unhappy, Concubine Hua simply stopped Songzhi from serving her.

"My Lady! I know I was wrong!"

Faced with Concubine Hua's sudden change of attitude, Songzhi was also full of grievances.

However, Songzhi knew her master's character very well.

If she didn't admit her mistake honestly at this time, but tried to make excuses, it would be like adding fuel to the fire, which would only make Hua Fei's anger more intense.

So, Songzhi knelt down and kowtowed without saying a word, begging Concubine Hua to forgive her for her incompetence.

"Haha, you know you're wrong? That's good. I'm going to ask you now, do you know where you went wrong?"

At this time, Concubine Hua no longer had the interest to dress up. She impatiently sent away the maid who was originally tying her hair, but still let Songzhi kneel on the ground.

"I underestimated Jianqiu. I didn't expect her to be so sharp-tongued. This is why Her Majesty's plan was ruined!"

When Songzhi was embarrassed by Jianqiu's words, she felt humiliated.

But where exactly did I go wrong?

Songzhi had never thought about this question before.

However, she had already begun to apologize in front of Concubine Hua, so Songzhi certainly could not face Concubine Hua with an "aggrieved" attitude.

Songzhi racked her brains, trying to summarize her "mistakes" so that Concubine Hua would show leniency.

Unexpectedly, when Concubine Hua heard this, her expression, which had improved slightly, suddenly became even uglier.

"What a fool!" Hua Fei shouted angrily, "You went there on my orders, but not only did you get bullied back by that little bitch, you didn't even realize you've become a laughing stock? You've been with me for so many years, but you haven't learned anything good. You're really useless!"

Yes, although she only learned about this matter from the news passed back by her subordinates, in Hua Fei's heart, she had almost figured out the roles played by Jingpin and Jianqiu in it.

What really made her angry was not that Songzhi failed to gain any benefit, but that Songzhi had no idea that she had become a pawn. She went to Jingren Palace in vain, was ridiculed, and came back in such a miserable state!

This is simply a shame!

Just like Jianqiu was representing the Queen in giving the admonition at that time, Songzhi was also representing Concubine Hua when she went to Xianfu Palace to force Concubine Jing to leave.

But apart from Concubine Hua herself who was able to confront the Queen in person, Song Zhi alone couldn't even get past Jian Qiu, let alone embarrass the Queen.

While scolding Songzhi, Concubine Hua also realized that she had made a mistake, which was overestimating Songzhi's abilities!

"Yes, yes, yes! I know I was wrong, please give me another chance!"

At this time, Songzhi was crawling on the ground and shivering, looking very pitiful.

Concubine Hua was too lazy to say anything more. She shook her head and said, "After all, you are my follower. In order to teach you a lesson this time, I will follow the family rules!"

The so-called "family rules" are actually the Yikun Palace's own set of punishments, which were customized by Concubine Hua herself.

In the past, if the people under her made any mistakes, Concubine Hua would definitely not let others deal with them, so she always enforced this set of family rules.

As the most trusted palace maid of Concubine Hua, and also the maid who came with her as a dowry from her natal family, Songzhi was of course very clear about the procedures of those things, because she had been involved in them herself when she helped Hua Fei to implement this set of rules in the past!
