Qiao Chongrong was angry. Before he could say anything, he heard Su Qingyao's voice, "What's going on? Why is it so lively today?"

"See you, the Imperial Concubine. Best wishes, the Imperial Concubine." Everyone stopped arguing and bowed respectfully to Su Qingyao.

Su Qingyao sat at the top, looking at the expressions of these concubines.

Qiao Chongrong's face was full of dissatisfaction, Qin Chongyuan was also full of anger, and the others were fine.

"Everyone, please get up and sit down. Nian Nian, why does it involve the power of co-managing the Sixth Palace?" Su Qingyao said warmly, seemingly asking Qin Chongyuan, but in fact her eyes were always on Qiao Chongrong.

"I report to the Imperial Concubine that Qiao Chongrong has overstepped your bounds and said that he wants to teach me a lesson."

"The Imperial Concubine, it was Qin Chongyuan who spoke unabashedly and humiliated Yuan Baolin in front of so many people." Qiao Chongrong said this without giving in, still defending Yuan Baolin in his words.

"Has Qiao Chongrong forgotten all the rules in the palace? When concubines make mistakes, they are all handled by me. What, you want to overstep it?" Su Qingyao said with majestic words.

Whether it was for herself or for Nian Nian, she couldn't bear this tone.

"I don't mean that. I'm not teaching you a lesson, I'm just giving you a kind reminder." Qiao Chongrong defended.

"There's no need for you to remind me." Qin Chongyuan was still unyielding.

"Okay." Su Qingyao glanced at them coldly, "You two have been in the palace for a long time, and you are considered old people in the palace. You have an argument so early in the morning. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by your sisters?"

"It's my fault, please forgive me and punish me." Qin Chongyuan took a few steps forward and knelt down in front of Su Qingyao.

Only then did Qiao Chongrong realize that in order to win over Yuan Baolin, he had fallen directly into Su Qingyao's trap.

The atmosphere in the hall froze for a moment. Su Qingyao took a sip of hot tea but still said nothing.

"Please forgive me, the Imperial Concubine."

Qiao Chongrong finally knelt down, almost hating him to death. If it weren't for his precious son, who would be willing to suffer such humiliation?

"Nian Nian, restrain your straightforward temper, Xiao Xiazi, and pass on the decree of this palace. If Qiao Chongrong violates the rules below, copy the palace rules fifty times, with small punishments and big warnings."

"I would like to thank you, the Imperial Concubine, for your kindness."

The two thanked each other and stood up. Everyone knew who the imperial concubine was protecting.

"Yuan Baolin, I have already heard about what happened last night. Your Majesty is doing this for your own good, lest you be condemned to death when you have an heir. Wouldn't you be even more reluctant to part with it?"

Su Qingyao's words already showed her attitude. Instead of showing sympathy for Yuan Baolin, she made sarcastic remarks.

It wasn't that Su Qingyao was indifferent, but what Beiyan had done made Su Qingyao really dislike her.

If it weren't for Shangguan Xiaolin, I'm afraid Yi'an, Wenjing or Yunshu would have gone to get married and would have been treated like this.

She almost lost her daughter, so why should she forgive Bei Yan?

"Concubine, thank you, Imperial Concubine, for your teachings." Yuan Baolin still looked very obedient and saluted Su Qingyao.

None of the concubines here could tell what Su Qingyao meant.

Although the imperial concubine Su Qingyao holds great power, she can still be considered friendly towards the concubines on weekdays. However, it is very rare for her to talk directly to a concubine like this today.

It seems that the imperial concubine truly despises the marriage princess.

Then they should be careful in the future, so as not to offend people they shouldn't offend for a little Baolin.

Su Qingyao sent her away to pay her respects, but Qin Chongyuan still stayed.

Six-month-old Chengrui could already sit up, and as if he knew Qin Chongyuan, he jumped directly into her arms.

"When I first entered the palace, Jue'er and Shu'er were only this old, and they weren't as lively as Xiao Rui." Qin Chongyuan hugged Cheng Rui, as if remembering a lot of past events.

At that time, she had just entered the palace and was very envious of Su Qingyao for being favored by Emperor Yin De.

Unexpectedly, three years later, he and she would be sitting in Weiyang Palace drinking tea, chatting and entertaining children every day.

"I like to make noise." Su Qingyao poked Chengrui's little face. Seeing that Chengrui was aggrieved and about to hit her with his arms, she quickly grabbed his arm gently, "Anyone dares to make trouble, and I won't care about it in the future. Got it?"

Chengrui can't speak yet and can only drool anxiously.

He seemed to be unhappy now, so he didn't want Qin Chongyuan to hug him, so he asked Su Qingyao for a hug.

Su Qingyao had nothing to do with him, so she took him and coaxed him in her arms.

"Is Sister Xian really angry today? I thought Sister Xian was really going to punish me." Qin Chongyuan hugged Su Qingyao's arm and shook it, her tone still a little aggrieved.

"If you talk so openly again, I'll slap you directly next time." Su Qingyao looked at her pitiful appearance and made a joke.

"Sister Xian, didn't you ask me to say it?" Qin Chongyuan seemed aggrieved again.

"But this time, will Qiao Muyan really find Yuanshi? I don't think it's good to find trouble with her."

"Yes." Su Qingyao said firmly. Seeing Chengrui sleeping soundly in her arms, she raised her hand to summon Rumeng and asked her to take Chengrui down first.

"Qiao now has an heir and is pregnant, but her mother's family is not very powerful. Her father is just a minister of the Ministry of Etiquette and has no real power. If Qiao Muyan wants to take care of her son, the best way is To win over Yuan Baolin, she must have thought that having Yuan Baolin was equivalent to gaining Beiyan's support."

"This is also a good show made by Emperor Beiyan and Yuan Baolin. At least they deceived Mrs. Qiao."

If Emperor Yinde hadn't directly explained the relationship between Yuan Cheng and Yuan Zhen that night, Su Qingyao might really have a sense of crisis now.

"My concubine looks at that Yuan Baolin, and she doesn't look like a fuel-efficient lamp. Since Sister Xian has decided not to promote her, she must be on guard against her."

Su Qingyao nodded, be careful, you must be careful, and let Ye Jiu find out what this princess is.

Yuan Baolin has been unhappy since he returned to Xiyun Palace and refused to let Haitang wait in the palace.

Haitang knew that His Highness was sad, so she couldn't say anything, so she could only guard carefully outside the palace.

I saw a figure approaching from far away, and it turned out to be Yu Baolin, a frequent visitor to Xiyun Temple these days.

Haitang took a few steps forward and saluted respectfully, "My slave, please give my regards to Little Master Yu."

Yu Baolin raised his hand, "Get up. I'm here to see your master. Why aren't you waiting in the hall?"

Before Haitang could answer, bursts of crying came from Xiyun Palace.

Yu Baolin's heart tightened and he rushed in with the palace people.
