When Qingyu heard this, she couldn't sit still anymore.

"What do you mean by inappropriate? Our princess has been waiting here for such a long time, isn't that sincere enough?" Qingyu looked annoyed.

"Princess, Concubine Yun hasn't summoned you yet, so you have to wait. It would be against the rules if you just leave like this." The palace maid seemed to completely ignore the two people.

Yu Jinzhi looked at her calmly: "Rules? I left because you said that Concubine Yun didn't like to be disturbed. Is this against the rules? I wonder which rule it is written in?"

"Besides, I have been waiting for such a long time, and everyone in the camp has seen it. If Her Majesty doesn't want to summon me, then does that mean she wants me to wait forever? It's so cold today, and Her Majesty Yun doesn't mean to make things difficult for me, does she?" Yu Jinzhi continued.

The maid looked unhappy, not knowing how to respond. Yu Jinzhi had been standing here for so long, knowing that many people would be staring at her today. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Concubine Yun was deliberately making things difficult for her.

At this time, another palace maid came out of the tent. She looked at Yu Jinzhi with a smile on her face: "Princess Jiayu." The palace maid bowed gently to Yu Jinzhi.

"Empress Yun was just talking to several masters, and she was so engrossed in the conversation that she forgot that the princess was still waiting outside. After hearing the noise outside, she asked me to invite you in." said the palace maid.

Although Yu Jinzhi knew that these were all excuses, what could she do? She couldn't just refuse to honor her because of her status and position, could she? Even if she wanted to refuse to honor her, it shouldn't be here...

"Thank you very much." Yu Jinzhi did not say anything else, and the palace maid took her into the tent.

Concubine Yun was dressed gorgeously. From the moment Yu Jinzhi came in, she looked at the person in front of her casually.

They were all from the same circle. Before they entered the palace, these noble ladies had more or less crossed paths, so it was not that they could not recognize each other. Who wouldn't envy Yu Jinzhi back then? It's a pity that things have changed, who knew that such a thing would happen later?

If the following events had not happened, Yu Jinzhi would have probably become Xie Zhao's Crown Princess, or even the Queen, right?

When Concubine Yun thought about how Yu Jinzhi almost became the queen, she felt uncomfortable. She had tried to please Xie Zhao for the position of Crown Princess, but Xie Zhao ignored her and treated Yu Jinzhi like a treasure. Fortunately, he was imprisoned for treason, otherwise Yu Jinzhi would be even better than her now.

After Yu Jinzhi came in, she walked to the center without looking around, surrounded by the concubines who were accompanying her on this trip.

"Your servant greets Her Majesty Concubine Yun." Yu Jinzhi bowed. In the past, she hardly had to bow to anyone, especially kneel down.

Concubine Yun sneered: "My princess is really delicate. You've only been standing outside for a while and you're already yelling that you want to go back? You clearly don't take me seriously."

"I didn't mean that. It was just that the maidservant beside Your Majesty said that you didn't like to be disturbed, so I was about to leave." Yu Jinzhi was not angry because of this remark, but the former Princess Jiayu was known to be spoiled and could never tolerate any grievance.

When Concubine Yun heard this, she slammed the table and said, "You are good at making excuses. Do you think you can get away with it just by saying a few words?"

"What crime have I committed?" Yu Jinzhi seemed to really not understand, so she asked this question.

But Concubine Yun couldn't bear it at all and thought she was deliberately provoking her.

"You refuse to change despite repeated admonitions and are stubborn! In that case, you should just kneel down until you realize your mistake." Concubine Yun just asked her to kneel down and didn't let anyone do anything.

As for the concubines around, they were there to watch the show and naturally would not join in the fun.

They are different from Concubine Yun. No matter how powerful Concubine Yun is, she has the support of her family. Even if she does something, His Majesty has to take her deep power into consideration. But they can't do that. They saw all the concubines His Majesty dealt with last time.

At this moment, Qingyu finally understood why the princess had put on knee pads before coming here. Did she expect that she would be punished by Concubine Yun to kneel today?

But if the princess knew the result would be like this, why did she come? Qingyu still couldn't figure it out. But she could clearly feel that the princess had changed in the past few days. Maybe the princess had her own plans.

Yu Jinzhi did have her own ideas. When Xie Yuxiu was handling official business, he would basically not avoid her. Sometimes, memorials were directly moved to Jiayu Palace. She also remembered the things she saw last time. The Duke's Mansion... I'm afraid it won't live long.

She knew that it was not difficult for Xie Yuxiu to attack anyone, and it was not worth worrying about. But even so, she still had to "worry" for Xie Yuxiu.

Even if the results are minimal, you still have to do enough to save face. Since you have done it with all your heart, you must let the beneficiary see it, otherwise it will be in vain.

Yu Jinzhi knelt on the ground for more than half an hour. Although she wore knee pads, she couldn't stand kneeling for too long.

Concubine Yun looked at the people below her with a look of disdain yet pride.

"My princess is really a delicate girl. You can't kneel any longer after just half an hour? I know you have been spoiled since childhood, but that is also why no one taught you these rules. I am now in charge of the power of the Central Palace, and it is my responsibility to teach you well. After all, you have lived in the palace for a long time, so you must know less about the palace rules." Is Concubine Yun taking on the responsibilities of a queen before she even becomes one?

Yu Jinzhi looked at Concubine Yun and said, "Your Majesty, I am still confused about what you said. Although Your Majesty is in charge of the harem now, you are only in charge of the harem, and the Phoenix Seal is kept by the Imperial Concubine. In this case, what Your Majesty said about temporarily taking charge of the Central Palace is probably an overstep."

"How dare you! Are you questioning me?" This is the kind of words that Concubine Yun hated to hear the most.

Yes, the Phoenix Seal is in the hands of the Imperial Concubine, but the Imperial Concubine is the one who doesn't care about things. Isn't it that what she says is the final word?

"Your Majesty, I am only reminding you that you are not the Queen, and His Majesty has not yet appointed a Queen. You should be careful with your words." Yu Jinzhi knew how to speak in order to provoke the other party.

As expected, Concubine Yun suddenly stood up from her seat and said, "Who else is more suitable for the position of Queen than me? I will sit in that position sooner or later!"

After she finished speaking, she was still not satisfied and immediately yelled, "Come here, Yu Jinzhi is committing treason, slap me in the face!"

But just as he finished speaking, Xie Yuxiu's voice came from outside: "Who do you want to slap in the face?"
