Lan Yin's palace was full of joy, but the rest of the place was completely different.

In the Queen Mother's Palace, all the concubines had different expressions. They all lowered their eyebrows, some pretended to drink tea, and some lowered their heads to adjust their sleeves.

The Queen Mother sat on the upper hand, and on her hand sat Concubine Shun.

Zhou Ruo was still holding a child in his arms. This was His Majesty's first child after he ascended the throne, and he is now the second prince. She was raised in the Queen Mother's Palace during the weekdays, and Zhou Ruo, her biological mother, came to visit from time to time. Because of this, Zhou Ruo was very popular with the Queen Mother.

Below Zhou Ruo was Lin Qingqing, who was granted the title of Concubine Xian. No matter how unlucky this title is, she is still ranked as the fourth concubine, and her status lies there.

Early this morning, all the concubines came to the Queen Mother's palace to pay their respects. They chatted for a long time, but Lin Jiuqing was nowhere to be seen.

They seemed to be competing with Lin Jiuqing, making various excuses to stay with the Queen Mother, just to see when Lin Jiuqing would come. But this time, it was only three poles in the sun, and it was already noon.

Lunch time has passed, and everyone has been sitting here for several hours.

The Queen Mother also knew why these people stayed here and did not leave, and she felt a little unhappy. However, after all, Lin Jiuqing did something wrong, and she could not just send these people away.

Zhou Ruo sat aside with her child in her arms, watching the Queen Mother's expression becoming more and more impatient. She was silent for a moment and then suddenly said: "Mother, An'er is hungry."

The Queen Mother immediately looked at the child in Zhou Ruo's arms and said nervously: "It's already this hour, it's time to be hungry."

Zhou Ruo stood up and handed the child to the Queen Mother, and said with a smile: "An'er is usually taken care of by the Queen Mother. He is kissing you. Now he is hungry and only wants you. He dislikes me as the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother took the child, and her face suddenly burst into smiles: "Yes, the Ai family takes him with him when he is fed and slept on weekdays."

Zhou Ruo smiled and said, "Why don't you take An'er away first?"

The Queen Mother paused and looked at everyone. Zhou Ruo immediately answered: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I am here."

The Queen Mother's eyes were filled with relief: "The Ai family knows that you are a sensible person."

The Queen Mother stood up with the child in her arms, glanced at everyone, raised her voice a little, and said to Zhou Ruo: "You are a noble concubine, and now you are the master of this harem."

"If anything happens, just handle it yourself."

Zhou Ruo's eyes moved and he said softly: "Yes, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother left with the child in her arms, and the tense concubines instantly relaxed.

Everyone looked at Zhou Ruo, and some couldn't help but said with envy: "The imperial concubine and the queen mother have a very close relationship, which is really enviable."

"Yes, to have the second prince at my knees, and to have the Queen Mother who loves her so much, I am truly blessed."

Everyone carefully restrained their jealousy, and although the words they spoke were a bit bitter, they were still restrained.

Lin Qingqing lowered her eyes and suddenly said: "The imperial concubine is willing to give up her own children in order to please the Queen Mother. This kind of cruelty is not something ordinary people can have."

She raised her eyes and glanced at these concubines, and said with a half-smile: "Don't envy the imperial concubine, even if it is your turn, you may not be able to do it."

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

After all, these people are not as confident as Lin Qingqing. They dare not say what Lin Qingqing dares to say.

Lin Qingqing had a household minister supporting her, but they didn't.
