When Jin Yuyan saw the calm and generous Fu Cha Langya coming back, she knew that the matter was accomplished. The seeds of suspicion had already been planted on the emperor's side, and as for the rest on the empress dowager's side, there was no need to make any plans. She just had to wait for Qingying to do it herself.

The Queen Mother wore plain clothes, removed all decorations, and sat upright on a chair, looking at the dishes in front of her. She didn't seem to have an appetite. Desheng advised:

"Empress Dowager, these are all gifts from the ladies. Please do me the honor of tasting them."

The Queen Mother nodded, Desheng looked at Langya, and everyone thought that the Queen would be the first to serve the meal.

But Qingying only walked forward, brought a bowl of soup, and came in front of the Queen Mother.

Gao Xiyue said softly: "Qingying has overstepped her bounds again."

Yuyan tugged at her sleeve, signaling her not to speak anymore, as the Queen Mother would not give Qingying a good look.

"Your Majesty, please have some ham and chicken soup."

The Queen Mother looked up at Qingying and said, "Good chicken soup, paired with the strong-flavored ham, really makes it stand out."

Jin Yuyan felt that what the Queen Mother said was right. Qingying skipped over Fu Jin and served the meal first. Wasn't this just stealing the show?

Especially now during the national mourning period, everyone wore mourning clothes and dared not dress casually. Only Qingying, wearing silver armor, looked like a vampire.

Jin Yuyan could also understand the Queen Mother's behavior. Now that she was in mourning, Qingying directly brought a bowl of meaty soup for the Queen Mother to drink. Wasn't this an obvious accusation that the Queen Mother broke the rules during the national mourning period?

When Qingying heard the Queen Mother's words, she stood there awkwardly, but still stubbornly refused to put down the bowl, as if she would never leave unless the Queen Mother drank.

Qingying looked like she was bullied, which Jin Yuyan found ridiculous. No matter how you looked at the scene, it looked like Qingying was bullying the Queen Mother.

Finally, after a long while, Qingying slowly spoke, "I wanted to whet the Queen Mother's appetite, but I didn't expect to disturb her meal. It's my fault."

However, Qingying still held the bowl of soup.

The Queen Mother sighed, "When you stew two things together, you have to prioritize them. Now that they are both given equal importance, it ruins the taste."

Jin Yuyan heard that the Queen Mother wanted to use this chicken soup to assert her authority and tell Qingying that there could not be two Queen Mothers at the same time.

In fact, up to now, Qingying has been given a way out. She only needs to change the soup and porridge and serve it to the Queen Mother, and then she can get out of the situation.

But Qingying kept acting so arrogant, which was really stupid.

He looked at Qingying until Fu Cha Langya came to his rescue, then he put down the chicken soup, his hands and paws shaking like a monkey due to the burns.

In her new life, Jin Yuyan was still fooled by Qingying's stupidity. Then she realized that the soup was so hot that if the queen mother drank it, she would get sick from the burns.

Jin Yuyan knew that although Qingying was stupid, she would never sit still and wait for death. If you calculate, it would only be a few days before Qingying changed her name.

The Empress Dowager would never allow Lady Jingren of the Jingren Palace to live any longer. The least objectionable and most heartbreaking way would be to let her own niece kill her personally.

Yuyan was not wrong in her guess. The next day, news came that the Empress of Jingren Palace had died suddenly. The Empress Dowager gave Ulanara Qingying a new name, Ruyi. The Empress Dowager also ordered Qingying to mourn for her aunt in the Qiandi Palace.

At this time, Jin Yuyan was serving the emperor in the Yangxin Palace. When the emperor heard the news, he was stunned.

She suspected that Ruyi was not going to save the Empress of Jingren Palace, but to feed her poison.

If she really wanted to save her aunt, she could have just drunk the poison herself before leaving.

The name change is even funnier. The character Yi was also stolen from Yanwan! Ruyi is a thief who specializes in stealing things!

And the word "Ru" is also funny. She is from the Yu clan, and everyone knows that "Ru" means "as if". "Ru Madam" means concubine. So Ruyi seems to have virtues, but actually, she doesn't!

Jin Yuyan picked up a piece of watermelon with a silver fork and fed it to the emperor, using the word "yo" as if unintentionally.

"Oh~ Ruyi, what a good name. The Queen Mother is indeed a former top female scholar in the harem. No wonder Ruyi could abandon the name given by her own parents. She has used Qingying for more than 20 years. But I heard that Ruyi wants to cut off the past. I wonder whose past she is cutting off."

Jin Yuyan didn't say it, but Ruyi claimed that she was a childhood sweetheart and that she had a crush on the emperor. Wasn't her past about her love for the emperor?

After hearing Jin Yuyan's words, the emperor felt annoyed. He was still fighting against the previous dynasty and the harem for Qingying, but Qingying had compromised with the Empress Dowager first.

He was in a dilemma on this matter. If he established Jingren Palace, he would be under the control of Jingren Palace. If he did not establish Jingren Palace, he would surrender to the Queen Mother. He was thinking of a way to have the best of both worlds, but Qingying made the choice for him first.

No, now she is Ruyi, and she has given up the friendship between Qingying and Hongli.

Seeing that it had worked, Jin Yuyan said no more, but took the initiative to suggest that the Nanfu team be asked to come and entertain the emperor.

Jin Yuyan wanted to meet Bai Ruiji, who was one of her victims in her previous life. In this life, as long as Bai Ruiji didn't act up, she would never take the initiative to harm Bai Ruiji, because she and Bai Ruiji had the same interest in torturing Ruyi.

Sure enough, due to the emperor's lustful nature, Bai Ruiji was still conferred the title of Mei Daiying during the mourning period. The emperor, who had just been sad, instantly forgot that Ruyi was still under house arrest in the palace.

On the second day, the emperor issued an order to formally appoint his wife Fucha as the empress, his concubine Gao Xiyue as the noble consort Hui, Su Lujun as the noble consort Chun, Jin Yuyan as the noble consort Jia, Chen Wanyin as the noble lady Wan, and Hai Lan as the noble lady Hai.

The Empress Dowager had never approved of Qingying's position, and the Emperor also argued with her and refused to welcome her into the Cining Palace.

The matter of Ruyi entering the palace was put on hold and continued to become a bargaining chip in the competition between the emperor and the empress dowager.

At this time, the Empress Dowager's faction, Nianqin, submitted memorials many times, requesting the Emperor to welcome the Empress Dowager into the Cining Palace as soon as possible. Even Fucha Langya could not help but persuade him, but the Emperor said, if they compromised on this matter first, what about other things in the future?

Just when everyone was wondering how the emperor would fight with Neqin, the emperor made an unexpected move.

The emperor's younger brother and prince Hong Zhou actually beat up Nianqin, who had argued with the emperor about welcoming the empress dowager into the Cining Palace, in front of all the civil and military officials, and kicked Nianqin out of the hall.

Based on the memory of her previous life, Ruyi should have asked A Ruo to find Hai Lan and let Hai Lan be her substitute to replace her.

In fact, Jin Yuyan was very puzzled. Since A Ruo could come out to pass the message to Hai Lan, why couldn't Ruyi just disguise herself as A Ruo?

Finally, Jin Yuyan came to the conclusion that maybe Ruyi thought that A Ruo was of low status and was not interested in playing the role of A Ruo.

Jin Yuyan went to find Gao Xiyue with the news. Now Hailan was Gao Xiyue's concubine in the palace. Only after finding Gao Xiyue could she interrogate Hailan.
