On the way back to the palace.

Yan'er said indignantly, "My lady, this Yupin is so arrogant, she should be taught a lesson..."

Concubine Qing said coldly, "She already has a pair of children by her side. Now that she is pregnant again, she is naturally spoiled and arrogant. Why are you angry with her?"

Yan'er looked at Concubine Qing and said, "But the queen is a concubine, second only to the emperor and below ten thousand people. It is her blessing that she is willing to stoop down and visit her in Jingyang Palace. She actually doesn't know how to appreciate it."

"What's even more infuriating is that she didn't even touch the things the Queen gave her! This is something that so many people would beg for but can't get!"

Concubine Qing joked, "She is probably afraid that I will harm her child. She has done so many things that have let me down. Now that she has a weak spot, she will naturally be on guard everywhere."

Yan'er nodded and said, "I think so too. She had been against the Majesty before, and now that she's pregnant, she's scared and keeps her distance from us."

Concubine Qing sneered, she would not be stupid enough to do it herself.

"Go to Zhongcui Palace!"

Zhongcuigong

"Concubine Qing has arrived!"

When Qin Ruo heard that Concubine Qing was coming, she asked suspiciously, "Princess, what is Concubine Qing doing here at this time?"

Concubine Yu didn't know either, so she said, "I don't know either. Please ask her to come in."

After Concubine Qing came in, she glanced at the furnishings of Zhongcui Palace and couldn't help but say:

"The renovation of Zhongcui Palace is a bit shabby. After all, she is a princess of a foreign tribe. I just came from Yupin's place. Why does it seem worse than Yupin's Jingyang Palace? The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are really too ignorant! Yan'er, go and tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs to tell them..."

Concubine Yu quickly stood up and said, "I pay my respects to Concubine Qing. I didn't know you were coming to visit me. I'm sorry for not welcoming you!"

Concubine Qing smiled and said, "Nothing, please get up soon. I just said that your palace is too simple. Do you want to hire someone to redecorate it?"

Yu Guiren quickly refused, "No need, Imperial Concubine, I think this place is great, there's no need to mobilize so many troops!"

Concubine Qing patted Concubine Yu on the shoulder and said, "You are a sensible girl, so I will listen to you. But if you need anything in your palace, just send someone to tell me! Don't be embarrassed."

Concubine Yu nodded. "Okay, thank you, Your Majesty. Please take a seat."

After sitting down, we chatted about some family matters.

Concubine Qing said, "You are so young, and it must be hard for you to come to Daqing from a foreign tribe. If you need anything, just ask me."

Concubine Yu smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, but I don't need anything at the moment. The Emperor is also very kind to me, and I still like Daqing very much!"

Concubine Qing took Concubine Yu's hand and said, "I'm glad you like it here. You are young, beautiful, well-educated and well-mannered. The emperor will naturally treat you well. But you must hurry up and give birth to a child for the emperor."

Concubine Yu lowered her head and said shyly, "Your Majesty, I am still young... There is no rush for an heir."

Concubine Qing sighed, "Hey! That's not the way to say it. As a princess of a tribe, you bear the mission and share the honor and disgrace of the tribe. If you give birth to an heir as soon as possible, the whole tribe will be prosperous."

Then he gave an example, "You should be familiar with Concubine Yu, the one who sat next to you in the hall that day."

Concubine Yu nodded and said, "I remember."

Seeing that Concubine Yu remembered Song Qingwan, Concubine Qing continued, "Concubine Yu was originally a concubine of the emperor's family. A concubine is a daughter born to a concubine, just like the children born to your father's favorite concubine, Lady Hu. Your father loved concubines, so he sent you, the legitimate princess, to marry in a foreign country."

When Concubine Yu heard this, her nails dug into her flesh and she responded with a fake smile on her face.

Imperial Concubine Qing continued, "But Yupin, through her own efforts, gave birth to a pair of children for the emperor. Now she is pregnant again. Her father has been promoted, and her mother's status has also been elevated. She is truly a role model for the harem."

"So, having children is not only for Daqing to pass on his descendants, but also for the woman herself to settle down in the harem and bring honor to the family."

Concubine Yu nodded, "Yes, I understand. I will learn from Concubine Yu and get pregnant with an heir as soon as possible."

Concubine Qing said with satisfaction, "I'm glad you understand. I brought you a lot of things. Just ask the servants to put them in the storeroom. There are many trivial matters in the harem. I'm leaving first."

Concubine Yu stood up and said, "Yes, I respectfully send you off, Your Majesty."

After seeing off Concubine Qing, Concubine Yu's maid Qinruo counted the things, put them all into the warehouse, and then went back to report.

"Princess, this imperial concubine is very generous! She sent so few good things! It seems that she is trying to win over the princess!"

Concubine Yu said calmly, "This princess doesn't care about these things, and will not do as she wishes."

Qin Ruo didn't understand and said, "Princess, did the imperial concubine keep urging you to get pregnant with an heir as soon as possible?"

Concubine Yu sneered, "She is not trying to persuade me to get pregnant with an heir as soon as possible. She is clearly trying to use me to deal with Concubine Yu!"

Qin Ruo asked doubtfully, "Deal with... Yupin?"

Concubine Yu said, "Didn't you hear that she kept talking about Concubine Yu? She even used the affairs of Mrs. Hu and those illegitimate children to deliberately disgust me in order to achieve her goal. It's really disgusting!"

Qin Ruo suddenly realized, covered her mouth and said, "So that day when the princess first entered the palace, the bee incident, could it be that Concubine Qing was using the princess as a scapegoat in order to deal with Concubine Yu?"

Concubine Yu's eyes were filled with anger.

"What else could be good? It must be this!"

Qin Ruo asked, "What is the princess going to do?"

Concubine Yu said, "If I don't fall for her trick this time, she will think I didn't understand in a few days and will come to me again. Instead of that, I'd better take the initiative!"

Qin Ruo looked at Concubine Yu, "Princess...what are you going to do?"

Concubine Yu said firmly, "Go to Jingyang Palace! Find Concubine Yu! Make an alliance with her!"
