"Empress, the king of flowers and the master of the harem are in the hearts of people. It's just a pot of flowers. I think you won't care."

Fu Cha Langya smiled and said, "If I care about it, what will you do?"

Ruyi didn't expect Fucha Langya to say this. She knew that the Queen cared most about her face and her reputation for being dignified and generous, so she used the words "it's in the hearts of the people" to prevaricate. As long as Fucha Langya cared about her reputation, she would not punish her. If she punished her, she would be known as a harsh person.

Ruyi thought of this and became even bolder. "Your Majesty, this is just a piece of clothing. Why are you making such a fuss about it?"

Fu Cha Langya sat in her seat and glanced at Yu Yan. Seeing Yu Yan nodded at her, she raised her head and said:

"Empress Xian just said that the master of the harem lies in the hearts of the people, and the heart of the people is the queen. So, tell me, who is the master of the harem in your mind, and who is the heart of the people? Do you think the position of queen will change so easily just because of a few words from you? What Jiapin and Ling Guiren said just now is right, your rebellious heart is too obvious."

Seeing that Fucha Langya was not willing to give in, Ruyi could only say, "If you insist on punishing me, I don't know what to say."

When Fu Cha Langya saw Yan Wan's eager eyes, she thought it was very cute. Knowing that Yan Wan had something to say, she wanted to give the right to speak to Yan Wan.

"I want you, Concubine Xian, to learn some rules. The emperor mentioned a few days ago that you were too lazy when serving him, and asked me to teach you some advice. He also said that your noble lady served him very well. I also think that your noble lady is gentle and humble. Today, I would like to trouble your noble lady to teach Concubine Xian how to serve the emperor and how to obey me."

Yan Wan's eyes lit up. The Queen is so kind.

Yuyan also sat up straight, feeling proud.

Yan Wan bowed gracefully and looked at Ruyi with a calm smile: "Empress Xian, you and I are concubines. The emperor is the ruler and the queen is the master. This is not in the hearts of the people, but the rules and regulations. You said that the master of the harem is in the hearts of the people, which is no different from rebellion."

Ruyi's eyebrows were twisted into a knot. How could she be involved in rebellion? Also, who said she was a concubine?

Yan Wan pointed at the Yao Huang peony and said, "Empress Xian knows this Yao Huang peony and knows that it is something that only the Empress can use, but she still wears it. This is disloyalty. The Emperor is the ruler and father. If you fail to serve him well, it will inevitably affect your family. This is unfilial. Harming the palace maid Qing'er and ignoring that she will be punished innocently is unkind. Provoking the Empress with words and using the Empress's generosity as a bargaining chip to get away with it is unjust."

Wei Yanwan stood up, stared at Ruyi and said, "Did Empress Xian hear what I said clearly?"

Ruyi was furious and said, "How could your Highness be so disrespectful to me!"

Ruyi thought again that she had come to the Queen today to complain about Hailan and Lujun. Since Wei Yanwan said that she was unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust, she had to ask her if she thought the same about Concubine Chun and Concubine Yu.

"Your Highness, your words are too harsh. Queen, I want to ask you, Your Highness said that I was disrespectful to you, but yesterday, Concubine Chun and Concubine Yu drove me out. Wasn't that also disrespectful to me?"

Jin Yuyan also snorted, "Oh~ Yesterday, Concubine Chun told me that Concubine Xian brought pig brain soup to ridicule the third prince for being stupid. The third prince was very sad about it for a long time. I heard that he was sickened by the pig brain soup and couldn't eat for several days. Concubine Xian has added another crime to your charge. Not only are you unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, and unjust, you are also unkind!"

Fu Cha Langya looked at Ruyi angrily. Not only was Concubine Xian confused, but she also bullied the child. No wonder she could make Lujun, who had the best temper, become irrational.

"Empress Xian, is this true?"

Ruyi had to admit that this incident did happen, but Su Lujun turned right and falsely accused her.

"Empress, I have no way of defending myself from Concubine Chun's slander. I was just trying to help Third Prince improve his brain."

Jin Yuyan sneered: "Then why don't you send ginseng, blood swallows, fish maw, and only send this pig brain soup? Empress Xian, you don't have these precious supplements at all, do you?"

Ruyi was going crazy, how could she not have these? It's just that ginseng is a tonic, but it's not good for Yongzhang's health; fish maw is good for beauty and skin care, but it's not suitable for boys; blood swallow nourishes yin and replenishes qi, but it's not suitable for Yongzhang either, if she gives it to him, he will be eaten by Lujun.

She served the delicious pig brain soup so that Yongzhang could actually receive benefits, but Lujun did not appreciate her kindness.

"It is true, but Concubine Chun cannot understand my good intentions. I really want Yongzhang to recover."

Fu Cha Langya nodded: "Empress Chun is a concubine like you, but you still think she is disrespectful and doesn't accept your kindness. In this case, I will punish her on your behalf. I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send the bird's nest and donkey-hide gelatin in your quota to Zhongcui Palace, so that Yongzhang can take good care of it and let her see your kindness."

"Since you said that the master of the harem lies in the heart of the people, I must also clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments. I will punish those who disrespect you, and I will also punish those who disrespect me. I will punish Concubine Xian to copy the palace rules a hundred times and send them to me. If you don't understand anything, you can ask the noble lady Ling, she knows the rules best. In addition, Concubine Xian will be suspended from her salary for another three months. If she commits the same offense again, she will be suspended for one year."

Ruyi glared. It would have been fine if she was punished by copying the palace rules, as she was already used to it. But she was really not satisfied with being asked to consult Wei Yanwan.

Seeing Ruyi was not convinced, Jin Yuyan also asked, "How can Concubine Xian still sit there? Why don't you stand up to thank her? The Empress is the mother of the country. Her rewards are also punishments, and her punishments are also rewards. You have to accept it."

Jin Yuyan looked at the Rong Pei beside Ruyi again, and regretted that there was no pair of big earrings so that she could pierce them into the ears of both the master and the servant herself.

Seeing Jin Yuyan and Wei Yanwan looking at her as if they were laughing at a joke, Ruyi stood up in humiliation and knelt in front of the Queen.

"Thank you, Queen."

Fu Cha Langya bowed her head slightly: "What does Concubine Xian want to thank me for?"

Ruyi gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you, Queen, for punishing Concubine Chun. Thank you, Queen, for teaching me."

Fu Cha Langya nodded and said, "You should thank your noble lady. Her words are of great benefit to you. You should be a loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous person in the future, and don't offend me again."

Ruyi looked at Wei Yanwan and said with emphasis, "I would also like to thank your Highness."

Yan Wan raised her chin proudly, she now had the support of the Queen.

"You are too polite, Empress Xian. But please don't harm the palace maids again in the future. Your few words have ruined Qing'er's life."

Fu Cha Langya looked at Qing'er. She admired this child very much. She was brave and smart. She nodded and said:

"Qing'er should stay in Changchun Palace to serve. After Su Lian left, I am also in need of a personal servant."

Ruyi looked at Fucha Langya with hatred, "Empress, the name Qing'er offends me."

Fucha Langya said, "Empress Xian, your maiden name is Ruyi. How did Qing'er offend you? Are you dissatisfied with the name bestowed by the Empress Dowager?"

Ruyi thought about it and gave up struggling. The Queen Mother was one of the few people in the palace who could still protect her.

Wei Yanwan looked at Ruyi's cowardly look and couldn't help but despise her in her heart. Back then, Ruyi said she wanted to save herself, but she gave up because of Jin Yuyan's few words. What's the difference between today?

Besides, why should Qing'er change her original name for her? Qingying was something she didn't want anymore.

Back then, she was tortured in every way because she was thought to look somewhat similar to Ruyi. How could she have the choice of her appearance?

Later, Ruyi and Ling Yunche fell in love with each other. The emperor doted on her, and Ruyi blamed all the faults on her. She was targeted and excluded for many years. In a moment of Ruyi's thought, she was doomed.

Wei Yanwan took a deep breath, and her eyes were clear. Ruyi was selfish and hypocritical. In her new life, even though the maid in front of her had nothing to do with Ling Yunche, she was still used by Ruyi as a tool to provoke the queen. Before sending flowers,惢心 said that she was three points similar to Ruyi. Today, Qing'er was here, and her name was the same as Ruyi's original name. This was exactly Ruyi's biggest taboo. She liked to be special, unique and incomparable. This was her true nature.

Seeing that she could not win against the three of them, Ruyi could only pout and say, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
