A concubine's daughter is reborn and I want to enter the palace!

After Concubine Qing arrived at Fenghua Palace, she paid her respects to the Queen respectfully.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be well and at peace!"

The queen did not rush to let her get up, but stroked the bracelet in her hand and said, "I heard that you recently made new clothes for the palace maids and gave them cold porridge as a reward?"

Concubine Qing half-knelt and replied, "Your Majesty, that's right. In the hot summer, the palace maids always have to wear light clothes. The purpose of distributing cold porridge is to boost the morale of the palace maids."

The Queen raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh? To boost morale? The palace ladies are not generals or soldiers. They don't need to travel and fight. Why do they need to boost morale?"

Concubine Qing quickly explained, "I was wrong. The weather has been getting hotter these days. I need to serve cold porridge to help the palace maids refresh themselves so that they can do their best to complete their duties."

The Queen continued, "Does Concubine Qing know that it is their responsibility to do their job well? If Concubine Qing is so doting on her servants, won't it make everyone in the harem lose their ambition?"

"No one needs to work hard anymore. Just wait for the cold porridge that you, Concubine Qing, will give us!"

After hearing this, Concubine Qing knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty is right. I was negligent. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

When the Queen saw Concubine Qing kneeling on the ground with her head lowered and her brows lowered and her appearance submissive, she felt extremely happy.

"Alright! Get up. I don't mean to blame you. I'm just talking about the facts. You know, the power to assist the six palaces is now in your hands. If you do the wrong job by mistake, the emperor and the queen mother will punish you."

Concubine Qing stood up and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand your painstaking efforts. Thank you for your teachings!"

The queen nodded and said, "I understand. Also, don't go out of your way to make thin clothes when the weather gets hot, and thick clothes when the weather gets cold. The palace has clothes distributed to the palace ladies, so you don't have to do that!"

Concubine Qing lowered her eyes, knowing that the Queen was resentful of her for buying people's hearts, so she resorted to this desperate measure, making her take back all the benefits she had distributed, thereby losing the people's support.

"Concubine Qing?" The Queen asked when she saw Concubine Qing remained silent.

Concubine Qing reacted and had to say, "Yes, I understand. It is indeed unnecessary for me to do this." There was no better way at the moment, so she could only go along with the Queen to avoid being accused of more mistakes.

The queen said with satisfaction, "Well, it's not too late for you to turn back now. The treasury is empty and you can't afford to be so extravagant. If you squander it like this, how can the soldiers fighting on the front line have any extra food and grass?"

After the Queen finished speaking, she deliberately glanced at Concubine Qing.

Concubine Qing understood the Queen's implication and volunteered, "It was I who wasted money. I would like to deduct three months' salary as a token of my appreciation for the efforts I made to recruit soldiers for the front line."

The Queen smiled triumphantly and said, "Very good, very good, Concubine Qing, it is very kind of you to have such a thoughtful heart. I will definitely convey your thoughts to the Emperor!"

Concubine Qing said, "Thanks to your advice, I will be diligent and frugal in the future."

Ying'er stood behind Concubine Qing. After hearing what the Queen said, she felt very dissatisfied and felt that she was being unfair to her own Queen, but she couldn't say anything...

I thought that the Queen had said so much, and the Queen had asked for a reduction in her share, so I thought that everything would finally be peaceful. Who knew that the Queen would say

"There is one more thing. The harem should treat everyone equally. No special treatment should be given to individual concubines. If you treat individual concubines specially, what will others think? Wouldn't it cause infighting in the harem?"

Concubine Qing knew that the Queen was referring to Song Qingwan, but this matter was not her intention, but the Emperor's. How should she tell the Queen? If she told the Emperor and he knew about it, he would definitely be disappointed in her...

But the emperor went through so much trouble for Song Qingwan, and even called his two daughters back to have dinner with him. It turned out that he did this to protect Song Qingwan. She was already disappointed with the emperor!

Concubine Qing replied tactfully, "Your Majesty, I have always followed the Queen's instructions and treated all the concubines in the harem equally. If I made any exceptions to her rules, it must be because I was ordered to do so..."

"Your Majesty is a smart person, you should understand what I mean."

The queen understood immediately. It seemed that the emperor was pretending. He really cared about Song Qingwan! The reason why he had been deliberately ignoring Song Qingwan during this period of time must be that he was planning something in his heart!

The Queen had too many thoughts flooding her mind, so she told Concubine Qing to leave. "I understand. You can leave first."

Concubine Qing saw the Queen's expression and knew that she was worried, so she deliberately said, "Yes, but please keep it a secret..."

The Queen said, "I know. Concubine Qing didn't say anything, so I naturally know nothing."

Concubine Qing left with satisfaction. "I'll take my leave."

After Concubine Qing left, the Queen kept thinking about the Emperor's strange behavior in recent days. Ever since he learned about Song Qingwan's twins, he became cold and distant towards her, making everyone think that he was tired of Song Qingwan.

And secretly, he specifically asked Concubine Qing to take good care of Song Qingwan, which shows that the emperor's indifference from the beginning was all fake.

Then the purpose behind this must be to protect the twins in Song Qingwan's belly!

The emperor cares so much about Song Qingwan and the child in her belly. If the child is really a smart little prince, wouldn't it leave trouble for his second prince Chenyu in the future?

No, I must do something. First of all, I have to find out the emperor’s true purpose. What exactly does the emperor want to do?

Then the Queen called over to Bitui and said, "Bitui, come here. I want you to go down and order someone to do something."

After hearing this, Beatiful came over. The queen whispered something in her ear. After listening to the queen's instructions, Beatiful got up and left.

After Bitui left, the Queen couldn't help but think again, how come Concubine Qing said it so clearly when she asked today...

Hadn't she always been on good terms with Song Qingwan? She had even risked her life to save Song Qingwan and her unborn child, and had repeatedly taken good care of her. Why didn't she protect her now and just said it out loud?

Concubine Qing was entrusted by the emperor to keep her mouth shut, but she confessed the truth when she just said it casually. She has been deeply in love with the emperor over the years. No matter what, it doesn't make sense!

Unless there is another possibility, that is, she has been pretending to be friendly with Song Qingwan these days, and actually wants to use her own hand to get rid of the evil in Song Qingwan's belly!

The Queen couldn't help but think, Concubine Qing, you are really a hidden talent...
