The Queen Mother jumped from the tower, and His Majesty was reborn with fear

Sure enough, the next morning, Yu Jinzhi couldn't get up at all.

When she woke up, Xie Yuxiu had already left. And seeing that it was already bright outside, she knew it was already late.

"What time is it now?" After sitting up from the bed, Yu Jinzhi asked Qingyu who was waiting not far away.

"Is the princess awake? It's just past 9 o'clock now. His Majesty has specifically instructed that the princess' rest should not be disturbed." Qingyu hurried over to serve.

Is it already so late? She slept a little too long. The winter hunting outside must have started a long time ago.

"The princess has woken up at the right time. Just now, Concubine Jiang came over and said she wanted to see the princess." Qingyu said as she helped Yu Jinzhi change her clothes.

Lady Jiang? Why did she come to see me for no reason? The reason why these people were close to me was nothing more than this purpose.

"Does anyone say when it was?" Yu Jinzhi also asked.

"She said she wanted to ask the princess if she wanted to go with her to meet Concubine Yun." Qingyu replied.

There was no empress in the palace, and above the rank of concubine were only three people: Concubine Yun, Concubine Shu, and Concubine Gui. So in the palace, these three were in charge of the affairs of the harem.

During the winter hunt, Concubine Yun was the one with the highest rank among the people on the trip, and was responsible for many matters. The other concubines who were accompanying her would also go to her tent to pay their respects.

"I'm not a concubine, so I won't go to pay respects to others." Yu Jinzhi refused casually. There was no reason for her to get up early to pay respects to others.

Qingyu also knew this, so she refused when someone came over.

but……

"I remember that the reason why Concubine Jiang was able to accompany us this time was because she replaced Concubine Shu?" Yu Jinzhi suddenly remembered.

"Yes, Concubine Jiang's father is an official under Minister Shu. Since entering the palace, Concubine Jiang has been following Shu Zhaoyi's lead, being humble and fawning in every way. I heard that after Concubine Jiang replaced Shu Zhaoyi this time, Shu Zhaoyi was furious. Concubine Jiang went to apologize, but when she left the palace, there was a slap mark on her face." Qingyu had a very detailed understanding of these things in the harem. This was what they learned when the queen was still around.

Yu Jinzhi seemed to be lost in thought after hearing this. So many concubines had come, but not one of them said they wanted to come to her to pay their respects to Concubine Yun. As a beauty, she had a lot to think about.

"I'm afraid I won't be free today." Yu Jinzhi sighed deeply. Why can't these things make enough trouble?

Qingyu didn't react when she heard this. What does it mean that she is busy again today?

But soon, Qingyu found out what her princess meant by this sentence?

because……

"Your servant greets the princess, please forgive me. I did not mean to disturb you. It's just that Concubine Yun heard that the princess was alone in the tent and was afraid that she was bored, so she specifically asked my servant to invite the princess over to talk." The palace maid beside Concubine Yun came over.

Yu Jinzhi looked at the people below her. She knew that today would not be so peaceful.

"Go and report to Her Majesty Yun. I can't refuse Her Majesty's kindness. I'll be there soon." Yu Jinzhi did not refuse. After all, Her Majesty Yun was the assistant manager of the harem, and there were so many people around, so it was not easy for her to refuse directly.

After the maid left, Qingyu looked at her princess and said, "My queen, Concubine Yun suddenly asked the princess to come over. Will anything happen?"

"There are only three concubines in the harem. The Imperial Concubine is the daughter of the Grand Tutor, the Virtuous Concubine is the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, and the Concubine Yun is the daughter of the Duke of Cheng and her uncle is a general with military power. At first everyone thought that Concubine Yun would be the candidate for the central palace, but in the end she was ranked below the Virtuous Concubine and the Imperial Concubine. Do you know why?" Yu Jinzhi asked.

Qingyu looked puzzled.

"Of course it's because of her and...her family's power." Yu Jinzhi hinted at something.

Relying on her family's support, Concubine Yun was very successful in the palace and looked down upon everyone. Although the Imperial Concubine was the highest-ranking concubine among the empresses, she was gentle in nature and was willing to hand over her power even in the matter of assisting in the management of the harem, and only managed it symbolically.

As for Concubine Shu... although she was one of the four concubines, she had no means at all. Although she had a hot temper, she had no brains, and she always lost when she faced Concubine Yun.

So although there are three concubines in the harem to assist in the affairs of the harem, in fact, it is Concubine Yun who accounts for the majority. One has no intention to compete, and the other cannot compete, so she naturally acts recklessly.

But there is a saying that goes, if you want to destroy someone, you must make him crazy. Concubine Yun should have been the choice for the empress, but in the end she lost to these two people. How could she be balanced? The more she wanted to prove herself, the more impatient she became.

"Help me get the knee pads." Yu Jinzhi said again.

Qingyu went to get the knee pad, and Yu Jinzhi put it directly on her knee.

"Is the princess feeling uncomfortable in her legs and feet?" Qingyu asked puzzledly, because the princess had never carried this thing before.

Yu Jinzhi was helpless: "You will know in a moment."

Qingyu Wenyan didn't ask any more questions, and the two of them went to Concubine Yun's tent together.

but……

"Please forgive me, Princess. Concubine Yun is having some private conversation with several masters. Please wait here for a while." The palace maid came forward and said.

Can't people come in just because they're talking about personal matters? Even a fool can guess the reason, right? It's obvious that they're deliberately making trouble.

Just as Qingyu was about to ask, Yu Jinzhi held her hand and said, "Nothing, in that case, I'll wait."

"Princess..." Qingyu felt it was not worth it for her master.

It's so cold outside. What if I get frozen?

"Wait." Yu Jinzhi did not look dissatisfied. There would be a lot of trouble today anyway. There were only a few ways to make things difficult for people in the palace. She was used to it now.

The cold wind outside really made people's faces hurt. Yu Jinzhi was afraid of cold, and the hot water bottle in her hand gradually lost its temperature.

"We can't keep talking about this for so long, right? Why doesn't Concubine Yun let our princess join the group? Didn't Concubine Yun invite the princess here?" Qingyu couldn't help herself.

This time, Yu Jinzhi did not stop it.

"Please forgive me, Princess. Concubine Yun does not like to be disturbed." The palace maid was too lazy to even find a decent excuse.

When Yu Jinzhi heard this, she just smiled and said, "Since you don't like being disturbed, I shouldn't have accepted your invitation today. In that case, I'll go back." After she said this, she was ready to turn around and leave.

The palace maid was stunned for a moment and quickly stopped the man.

"Princess, it's not appropriate for you to leave like this," said the maid.
