Quick Travel: The Long Road to Resurrection

As soon as these words were spoken, the fake smile on the queen's face could no longer be maintained.

Huichun quickly asked the servants in the outer room to add two more seats, then she stood out and knelt down and said, "The Queen instructed this last night. It is my fault that I forgot to inform the maids in the outer room."

Upon hearing this, the queen's stiff expression relaxed and she looked at the kneeling Huichun with some blame.

"Huichun, you are a servant of mine, so you should have a better memory than others. Now that you have acted inappropriately, I will fine you half a year's salary as a warning to others."

"Concubine Xuan, considering that you are a newcomer to the palace, I will not punish you for your disrespect."

The queen restored her usual kind smile and said to the concubines, "Sisters, please take your seats again."

In the main seat, first on the left, Yi Xin stood still. Concubine Qi felt that although Concubine Xuan had a bad temper, she was an upright person. Instead of sitting next to Concubine Hua, it would be better to sit next to her. In order, it was Concubine Jing and Concubine Xin.

Concubine Hua also reacted. When six of the seven people were placed in the seats, she knew that the old woman, the Queen, had bad intentions. She was fighting with Concubine Xuan so that she could reap the benefits.

For a moment, he didn't care about making things difficult for Concubine Xuan. It was definitely not because he was unable to defeat her and was killed in return.

Concubine Hua sat to the right of the main seat, followed by Concubine Li and Concubine Cao.

"After all, the Queen is old and inevitably has less energy. If she can't control the palace maids below, I can do it for her." Concubine Hua said sarcastically.

"I'm afraid you can't bear this hardship." The queen said and quickly changed the subject.

"Well, this is Concubine Xuan's first time to pay respects and meet all the elders."

Jiang Fuhai quickly introduced: "Madam Xuanfei, this is Madam Huafei."

The two looked at each other and ignored each other.

Seeing that the queen did not say anything, Jiang Fuhai continued to introduce: "This is Concubine Qi."

Seeing that Concubine Qi stood up first, Yi Xin also stood up. The two of them bowed to each other and then sat down.

The following concubines, such as Lipin, Jingpin, Cao Guiren, and Xin Changzai, were not as high in rank as Yixin, so they took the initiative to come out and pay their respects.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, greets you, Empress Xuan."

Yi Xin said gently, "Get up."

Seeing that the queen still wanted to exchange pleasantries, Yi Xin stood up and said, "I have met all the concubines, so I will take my leave now."

The Queen's kind smile froze again. Before she could attack Concubine Xuan, Concubine Hua also stood up and left, followed by Concubine Li and others.

When the queen saw that one or two of them were not following the rules, she simply let them go.

Xuanji Palace

Main Hall Interior Room

Yi Xin saw that Dai Qing's left face was red and swollen, and quickly ordered: "Ji Lan, quickly apply medicine to Dai Qing."

Jilan picked up the ointment and rubbed it on Daiqing's face, and she quickly dodged.

Dai Qing grinned and said, "I won't apply the medicine now. Wait a minute."

Ji Lan looked at her in confusion, then looked at his master, and when he saw that his master agreed, he no longer insisted.

He scolded Dai Qing, "Look at you. You are usually the most cautious person. You could have avoided it, but you chose to take a slap."

Dai Qing was like a mute person, not saying a word.

The Queen wanted to compete with Nian Shilan. She wanted to suppress whoever she could. If they ended up in a draw, they could check and balance each other.

Dai Qing remained silent, but Yi Xin could see that she wanted to let the emperor see how terrible it would be if Concubine Hua slapped the empress in the face.

"Daiqing, take a rest first. When the emperor comes, come out and serve him."

Dai Qing agreed.

After the emperor left the court, he was about to go to Xuanji Palace to see Yi Xin, but he saw Song Zhi waiting there. She said that Concubine Hua was injured, so he had to go to Concubine Hua's palace first.

Yikun Palace

As soon as the emperor arrived, he saw Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen there, and immediately asked about Concubine Hua's situation.

"Empress Hua, the tendons and bones in your right hand are injured. You need to take good care of yourself."
