In order to eat, I signed a contract with the system

Yixiu was woken up by Jianqiu early in the morning, and it was difficult for her to open her eyes. She didn't like the emperor just because the dream of a trader had always occupied the position of queen. She didn't care about favors at all on weekdays, and of course she wouldn't ask people to pay respects every day like Yixiu in the plot to remind the concubines of her identity as queen.

Normally, the concubines would come to pay their respects on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. Yixiu was somewhat impatient when she suddenly changed her habit of getting up early to meet the new bride, as she was used to being lazy.

Yixiu sat in her seat with a stern face. Hua Fei was as arrogant as ever. She was the last one to arrive, but she did not ignore Yixiu's face like in the plot and was not late or on time.

As the sister of her beloved and the beloved of her brother, Concubine Hua had to be obedient and respectful to Yixiu no matter how arrogant she was. In addition, the emperor always respected the queen. In addition to giving half of the palace power to Concubine Hua, he never allowed the rest of the concubines to disrespect the queen.

The first time the newlyweds pay their respects after entering the palace is also a very important scene in the plot. Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu still stood in the first row to pay their respects. When Yixiu saw this, she sneered and said nothing, but signaled Jianqiu to rearrange it.

After the arrangements were made, the newlyweds greeted each other: "May the Queen be well!"

"Be flat!"

Concubine Hua, who was standing by, didn't notice it at first, but when Jianqiu went down to rearrange the place, she realized it. When the Queen called out, she quickly said, "Who were the two people standing at the front? Come out and let everyone see them?"

When Concubine Hua spoke, Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan, who had just been pointed out by Jianqiu to be in the correct position, turned pale instantly and knelt down to salute:

"Your concubine Shen Meizhuang pays respect to Her Majesty Hua Fei!"

"I am always here with Zhen Huan. I pay my respects to Her Majesty Hua Fei!"

"Humph, so they are the young ladies of the two Han Army Banners. Didn't the nanny teach them well? Didn't they learn the rules of the Manchu and Mongolian Army Banners first and the Han Army Banner later?"

"Or are you two dissatisfied with the positions arranged by me, the emperor and the empress?"

Hua Fei's three questions made Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan, who were kneeling on the ground, sweat all over their backs. No matter which question they answered, they couldn't answer it well. They could only bow their heads and admit their mistakes: "I am a newcomer to the palace and I was ignorant at the time. I hope that Empress Hua Fei will forgive me!"

"Haha, all of you are new to the palace, how come you two are the only ones who are ignorant? Moreover, I heard that when Concubine Shen first entered the palace, she did not pay her respects to the main concubine Jing, but went to pay her respects to a little concubine first."

Hua Fei turned around and said to Yi Xiu, "What's more, just now Shen Guiren, Zhen Chang only said 'I hope the Empress Hua Fei will forgive me'. I think she forgot to respect the Empress. Sister, please don't let her go easily. This kind of newcomer who is so rampant as soon as he enters the palace must not be left undisciplined!"

Not to mention Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu, even the other concubines present couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. Over the years, Concubine Hua has used endless methods to torment people. After all, except for Empress Yixiu, other women could be the culprit of her miscarriage. Concubine Hua cannot directly take action against the accomplice, the Emperor, and can only kill all the women in the backyard at once.

Logically speaking, the new woman entering the palace had nothing to do with Concubine Hua's miscarriage, so Concubine Hua shouldn't be so hostile to her. It can only be said that there is a mismatch in magnetic fields and she dislikes him. In addition, Zhen Huan still said to Concubine Hua as in the plot, "It's hard to be good if you use your beauty to serve a man."

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were really frightened now. They kowtowed again and admitted their mistakes: "Please forgive me, Queen. I did not mean that."

"You've done it and you still don't admit it. If you're wrong, you're wrong, and you should be punished! What do you think, Queen?"

Yixiu looked at Concubine Hua's insistence on punishing Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang, and she had no objection at all. Although these people did not exist in the trader's dream, there was no harm in doing more. Anyway, for Yixiu, whether it was Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang or any other woman, good or bad had nothing to do with her.

"What Hua Fei said is very true. I wonder how Hua Fei wants to punish her?" Yixiu said that she would just watch the show and would not take the initiative to get involved. After all, Zhen Huan was the heroine. What if she had the halo of the protagonist and she met Honghui, what if her identity was discovered?

I have finally achieved my current success, and I cannot completely relax for the time being.

"I think that Concubine Shen and Concubine Zhen are so ignorant of the rules that they must not have learned them well when they were first taught. In that case, I will punish them by grounding them for half a year and making them copy the palace rules 100 times. As for their status, they will not be demoted this time. If they do it again next time, the Concubine Shen and Concubine Zhen's status can be demoted by a few ranks."

"As for your two foster nurses, since they are not teaching you attentively, they should be beaten with a few sticks and kicked out of the laundry department."

Yixiu said that half a year was too long, so let's change it to three months. If there was nothing else, he could just step down.

In recent years, although the emperor himself promoted Hua Fei on the one hand to stimulate Yi Xiu, on the other hand it was to balance the backyard and to make Hua Fei and Yi Xiu fight against each other.

However, Concubine Hua has always been respectful to Yixiu over the years. In addition, Concubine Hua is not as sincere to the emperor as in the plot, which makes the emperor feel uncomfortable. Neither his wife nor his concubine has any love for him. For this reason, Yinzhen has a better reputation of not being interested in women over the years than in the plot.

Xia Dongchun still wanted to surrender to the Queen as in the plot, but this time Yixiu refused, so there was no scene in the plot where Xia Dongchun loudly flattered the Queen and said that Concubine Hua's courtesy was not as good as the Queen's. With this incident happening less often, naturally the one hundred red strokes were also gone.

After paying their respects, Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu walked out of Jingren Palace together, with An Lingrong following them. The three of them came to the Imperial Garden. This time there was no chance to soak in the well, but they were still frightened by Concubine Hua today.

After a brief chat, the three of them returned to their respective palaces. As soon as Zhen Huan returned to Sui Yuxuan, the nanny sent by Yixiu had already arrived. The servants in Sui Yuxuan did not know the purpose of the nanny from the Queen's palace, and they all stood together anxiously waiting for Zhen Huan to come back.

As soon as Zhen Huan entered the Sui Yu Xuan, she saw a maid she didn't recognize. "Who is this maid?"

"My dear Lady Zhen, I am Fanghua from Jingren Palace. I am here on the orders of the Empress to deliver the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone for copying the palace rules. I am also here to check if there is anything that is not in compliance with the rules on Lady Zhen's part."

When Zhen Huan heard this, her face first flushed, then turned pale as she felt ashamed. "Please ask Nanny Fanghua to report to the Queen and tell her that I will carefully copy the palace rules and will not break the rules again."

"Ms. Zhen, you are too polite. It is just a rule in the palace that only ladies of the rank of concubine or above can stay in the main hall. Usually, there are two first-class maids, one second-class maid, and one eunuch. The head maid is under the jurisdiction of the mistress..."

Fanghua did not say the rest of the words. Zhen Huan's smile was almost unsustainable at this moment. Every word Fanghua said was basically a slap in Zhen Huan's face, making her feel ashamed and angry.
