"Your servant pays respects to the Queen Mother!" When the concubines saw the angry Queen Mother, they hurriedly knelt down to pay their respects.

Balin Meiruo was stunned, turned around and greeted the Queen Mother, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you!"

Balin Meiruo had only seen the Queen Mother a few times since entering the palace, and she didn't think she had said anything wrong. When she heard the Queen Mother say this, she felt a little bit like trying to please her.

"It is indeed a blessing for me to be able to enter the palace and serve the emperor!"

Ever since the news of Dawachi's rebellion in the Junggar tribe reached the capital, the empress dowager's heart has been hanging on her poor daughter, Princess Duanshu.

Over the past year, the Empress Dowager could not eat or sleep, and she knelt in the Buddhist temple in the Cining Palace every day, chanting Buddhist scriptures and praying for her daughter.

I hope that one day I can bring my daughter back from that den of tigers and wolves and let her live out her life in peace.

The Queen Mother and Yihuan had broken up because of the fight for Yongyue's custody, so Yihuan inevitably felt uncomfortable when they met again.

But today, the Queen Mother's attention was on Balin Meiruo, and she had no time to pay attention to Yihuan.

The Queen Mother saw that Balin Meiruo had no sympathy for Princess Duanshu's tragic experience and even spoke rudely. At this time, he did not feel that there was anything wrong with his words and even showed off in front of her.

The Queen Mother laughed out of anger, "My Princess Duanshu is not as lucky as Yingpin, and cannot enjoy the splendor and wealth in the Forbidden City! Come, take Yingpin away..."

Looking at the Queen Mother's cold and stern expression, Balin Meiruo realized belatedly that he might have gotten into trouble and was afraid that he would be punished, so he hurriedly spoke out.

"Wait! I have the Balin tribe behind me and the emperor's fetus in my belly. Queen Mother, you can't..."

The Queen Mother sneered and interrupted Balin Meiruo's words, "I know you are the princess of the Balin tribe, but in this palace, you are just a little Yingpin!"

"I will ask the emperor how to rely on your Balin tribe to attack Junggar and bring back my Hengchu. Come, take Yingpin away and put her under house arrest!"

"Fujia, go to the Yangxin Palace and tell the emperor that his concubine Ying was disrespectful to me, and ask me if I can punish her!"

The Queen Mother turned around and returned to the Cining Palace. The concubines said in unison: "Your servants respectfully send the Queen Mother off!"

The emperor heard that Yingpin had offended someone in the palace again, so he came to the Cining Palace to pay his respects to the empress dowager, "Your son pays his respects to the empress dowager!"

Ever since the Emperor issued an edict to grant marriage to Dawachi and Princess Duanshu, he didn't know how to face the Empress Dowager and had not come to the Cining Palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager for a long time.

The Queen Mother dreamed of the Emperor sending troops to attack Dawachi and bring back Hengchu, but the Emperor avoided her. She had no other choice but to kneel before the Buddha every day and pray for Hengchu.

The Queen Mother took advantage of Balin Meiruo's disrespect to her and Hengchu and snorted coldly.

"It's a rare visit for the Emperor to visit the Cining Palace. If it weren't for the Emperor's beloved little princess from the Bahrain tribe who offended me, when would the Emperor have planned to come and pay his respects to me, the Empress Dowager?"

The emperor knew that the empress dowager was angry, and for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, he had to put Hengchu in a difficult position, and he felt guilty towards the empress dowager.

I only thought that one day when I had sufficient food and grass, and a large number of soldiers and generals, I would conquer Junggar in one fell swoop and avenge my previous humiliation!

Who would have thought that Yingpin, this troublemaker, would not only rely on her Mongolian origin to provoke the concubines, but would even dare to speak rudely to Princess Duanshu, causing me to have to clean up this mess!

The Emperor apologized to the Empress Dowager, "My son was busy with state affairs and neglected to pay respects to the Empress Dowager. Please calm down, Empress Dowager. My son heard that Yingpin was disrespectful to the Empress Dowager and Sister Hengchu. Please punish Yingpin, Empress Dowager!"

The Queen Mother sneered, "I know that the Emperor relies heavily on Mongolia. Only with Mongolia can we defeat Dawachi and bring back Hengchui. I have something to ask of the Emperor and Yingpin, the princess of the Bahrain tribe. Moreover, Yingpin is pregnant with the dragon fetus. How dare I punish her?!"

The emperor smiled and said, "You are joking, Madam. No matter what is behind her, we cannot be disrespectful to you. I will give you an explanation on this matter. Please wait for some time!"

The Queen Mother heard the Emperor's promise, and her purpose of inviting the Emperor here today was achieved.

"The emperor is the emperor's son of heaven and his words are law. I will wait for good news. As for Yingpin, the emperor can deal with it himself."

After finishing his talk, the emperor immediately stood up and said, "Yes, my son will take his leave first!"

The emperor was very angry with the empress dowager and wanted to go to Yikun Palace. "Why is Yingpin always causing trouble? Go to Yikun Palace. I want to ask the queen to pay her respects to the empress dowager more often and calm her anger."

Jinzhong said, "Go to Yikun Palace! The emperor is going to visit the queen, and it just so happens that Concubine Ying always listens to the queen. With the queen's advice, I believe Concubine Ying will change her temper in the future."

The emperor frowned immediately. Could it be that Yingpin was the second Rong Pei? Why did Ruyi always favor such a domineering person? She had caused him so much trouble for no reason!

The emperor was angry and felt that Ruyi was not good at judging people and using them properly. It would be better for him to have Yan Wan, so that he would have less worries.

Thinking of Yan Wan, the emperor immediately changed his mind, "Forget it, let's go to Yongshou Palace."

Jinzhong was secretly delighted and immediately said, "Let's go to Yongshou Palace!"

"I, my concubine, meet the Emperor!"

The emperor helped Yan Wan up and asked, "I heard that Yingpin has been making things difficult for you since she entered the palace. In the past year, many concubines have spoken ill of Yingpin in front of me. Why don't you ask me to make a decision for you?"

Yan Wan smiled and said, "Sister Yingpin has a childish nature. I don't know how I have offended Sister Yingpin to make her pick on me."

"As a sister, can I really argue with Yingpin? I know that the emperor relies heavily on Mongolia. It's just a small matter, so I dare not disturb the emperor."

The emperor felt relieved after hearing this and felt that Yan Wan was really helping him share his worries.

"I know you are a generous person who doesn't want to cause trouble, but you are a concubine and she is a concubine. No matter how young she is, she should know some rules. I must teach her a lesson about what happened today!"

Yan Wan said, "But Yingpin is pregnant. If the emperor punishes Yingpin, wouldn't it be bad for the dragon fetus? The emperor just came from the Cining Palace. I wonder what the queen mother would say?"

The emperor sighed, "The Queen Mother has always been worried about Sister Hengchu. Yingpin's words just hit the sore spot of the Queen Mother. How can the Queen Mother not be angry? The Queen Mother asked me to deal with it myself."

Yan Wan was afraid that the emperor would spare Yingpin because of the Balinba tribe, so she asked, "Your Majesty, I have always had a question. Which one is stronger, the Balin tribe or the Khorchin tribe? Which one can help Your Majesty more?"

The emperor replied: "There are 49 tribes in Mongolia, and the Khorchin tribe is the most powerful tribe in Mongolia and has the closest relationship with the Qing Dynasty. Otherwise, why would I be willing to let Jingse marry into the Khorchin tribe?"

"The area of ​​the Balin tribe is very small, not to mention that it is not as large as the Khorchin..."

Halfway through his speech, the emperor suddenly realized that the Balin tribe was just a small country. Even if they wanted to attack the Junggar tribe, how much effort could it make? Why should he worry about it?

The emperor issued an order, "Jinzhong, go and tell them that Yingpin Balin was disrespectful to the Queen Mother and Princess Duanshu. Considering that she is pregnant with the dragon fetus, she will be demoted to a noble lady and confined for three months!"

Jinzhong received the order and left, "Yes, I will go and pass it on right away!"

Yanwan thought to herself, that’s good, I can finally have some peace and quiet for three months.
