The queen knew that Concubine De was asking her questions on purpose, and her purpose was nothing more than to make Concubine Xue hate her even more.

She knew Concubine De's little thoughts, but she still smiled dignifiedly on her face, as dignified and graceful as a Bodhisattva in the temple, and even exhaled a trace of Buddha's spirit.

"Concubine De is naturally kind-hearted. The imperial concubine is younger than you. Although she doesn't understand your kindness at this time, I think it will take her a few days to understand."

Hearing the Queen's words that were obviously biased towards her, Concubine De was not happy at all. Instead, she showed a hint of sarcasm, but it was fleeting and hard to catch.

"The Queen's words are so touching. No wonder all the Bodhisattvas in the sky like your chanting." Concubine Xue came to her senses and immediately became angry with the Queen.

Concubine Shu, who was watching the battle silently, almost burst out laughing after hearing her words.

In order to prevent Concubine Xue from paying attention to her, Concubine Shu quickly wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, which actually suppressed the upward curve of the corners of her mouth.

"Sister Imperial Concubine, the Queen's sincerity and devotion to Buddha are all for Your Majesty's sake. Her kindness is very rare. You should learn from it." Concubine Xian listened to the conversation of several people and deliberately spoke frankly.

She has always been a cheerful person, but now she is echoing the words of Concubine De and Concubine Xue and secretly attacking the queen, which immediately makes the queen somewhat helpless.

The queen didn't care, and just looked at everyone indulgently, as if they were fighting openly and secretly here, and she, the queen, could truly be alone.

The ladies of the officials below heard their arguments, and each of them couldn't help but be cautious.

As soon as they calmed down, they looked up from time to time. No matter how focused the queen and others were on each other, they were still aware of these people's gazes.

They quickly glanced down and saw that each official's wife was carefully taking care of their children or husbands, and they didn't pay much attention to them at all.

But the more they behave like this, the more unhappy Xue Guifei and others feel.

They were quarreling not because of Mo and Wan Shufang. As a result, the two people were no longer tit for tat, but they almost made people laugh.

The Queen lowered her voice and said, "If you have any issues, you can resolve them privately. Today is the New Year's Eve feast. I and Your Majesty are hosting the ministers. I only hope that they can relax and not be distracted by your struggle."

When the queen said this, she felt more and more that the position of the master of the harem belonged to her.

No matter how favored Concubine Xue and Concubine De were by the emperor on weekdays, under such circumstances, there was no way for them to replace her.

When the queen's thoughts turned to this point, she felt more and more that the emperor was actually kind to her, and she should do her duty as a queen. Only in this way could the emperor relax in the harem and no longer have to be embarrassed by other things.

Thinking of the emperor, the queen couldn't help but glance at him, and saw that he didn't turn his eyes away, and was only focused on talking to the concubine who had been favored recently.

The queen felt a little sour in her heart, and her eyes gradually turned red.

She quickly felt that this was not good, and took a few deep breaths to suppress the sourness.

She focused her attention on Wan Shufang, thinking that Mo's words were directed at Wan Shufang.

She thought about it and called Wan Shufang to come to her side.

"Mrs. Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time. Please come up and let me take a look."

The queen had a well-placed smile on her face, and her eyes were staring at Wan Shufang tenderly. Her kind-hearted look was like that of an elder who particularly liked Wan Shufang.

"Yes." Wan Shufang originally thought that after the queen had an argument with several concubines, she would simply put the matter aside and never mention it again, but she never expected that she would suddenly point the finger at herself.

Wan Shufang could only get up and come to the queen's side.

The Queen looked at her for a long time, then pondered for a moment and then said: "Every time I meet you, I am in a hurry. Now that I think about it, I feel a little regretful."

As she spoke, she put an jade bracelet on Wan Shufang's wrist.

Wan Shufang originally wanted to refuse, but the queen's speed was too fast. She had no way to refuse, so she could only express her joy and respectfully thank the queen.

"My wife, thank you very much."

When the queen heard this, she felt uncomfortable in her heart.

Just because she thought of the cooperation between the prince and Chen Changli through Wan Shufang's more respectful attitude.

The prince's attitude towards her has become increasingly distant recently.

Although she did not do well in some areas, compared with Concubine Xue Guifei, she was indeed a bit neglectful as a mother.

But the prince was so filial to her before, so why did he drift away from her now because of a trivial matter.

She had already explained that everything she did was for the good of the prince, so why was the prince unwilling to believe her?

Her mood fluctuated, and the expression on the queen's face changed slightly.

Wan Shufang stood in front of her, just in time to see the change in her expression.

She couldn't help but feel a little strange, but she didn't dare to show it on her face.

The queen's mood changed, maybe she thought of something.

She was called here by the Queen because the Queen wanted to show her grace and magnanimity.

She just needs to be a tool person, and there is no need to ponder the Queen's thoughts at this time.

Thinking this in her heart, the respect on Wan Shufang's face became more and more sincere.

Concubine De saw it from the side, her eyes were fixed on the queen, and she refused to let go of the slightest change in her eyes, but she said: "This jade bracelet seems to be given to the queen by your majesty."

After hearing Concubine De's words, Concubine Xue quickly glanced at Wan Shufang's wrist.

After seeing it, she remembered the origin of the bracelet and immediately said with a smile: "I remember that the queen liked this bracelet very much. Even the princess asked for it, but you were unwilling to give it to me. I didn't expect that you would give it to the general today." Madam, it seems that the general’s wife is more popular with you than the princess.”

As soon as she said this, the emperor turned his gaze over.

He scanned Wan Shufang's body and said with a faint smile: "Wan Shufang not only cured the crown princess, but also proposed a feasible dietary treatment plan for the queen. She is good, and I admire her very much."

When the queen heard this, she thought the emperor was trying to help her, and she felt as if she had eaten candy.

She glanced at the emperor shyly, then looked at Concubine Xue and said without changing her expression: "The general's wife is a good person. I wish I could treat her as my daughter. The bracelet is just an external possession. I think it can be worn on the general's wife." It’s worth every penny on your wrist, concubine, what do you think?”

Concubine Xue was so angry when the queen asked her in return that she almost cursed her.

Concubine Shu coughed and her rationality returned instantly.

She forced herself to calm down, glanced at Wan Shufang, and gave her her favorite pearl earrings.

"Anyone your Majesty likes, my concubine also likes."

While handing the pearl earrings to Wan Shufang, she looked at the queen proudly, as if she was using pearls to show off the emperor's love for her to the queen.

Seeing this, Concubine De immediately praised her: "Concubine Xue is very generous. The queen is really inferior to Concubine Xue in this regard."
