After a stalemate for so long, Cui Shanggong was unwilling to back down, and Jinying also would never back down.

"What? Don't want to?"

Cui Shanggong's tone seemed to be disbelieving that Jinying refused to carry out this matter, but from Cui Shanggong's expression, it can be seen that Cui Shanggong was not surprised or cared about Jinying's refusal.

"Yes, empress, I don't want to. Even if our family doesn't do such a thing, we can do it. With these talents, we can upgrade to the most noble palace without any problem."

Cui Shanggong pursed his lips, feeling ridiculous listening to Jinying's last powerless resistance.

"...Why, why do I have to do this kind of thing?"

Jinying also knew that what she said was useless, so after meeting Cui Shanggong's mocking eyes, Jinying broke down and shouted at Cui Shanggong.

"Are you afraid of doing this?" Cui Shanggong said disdainfully.

"I'm not afraid, it's because of my pride!"

"You mean self-esteem?" Cui Shanggong felt very ridiculous.

"Yes, ma'am. This kind of thing is only done by those who want to climb the dragon and become the phoenix. The dignity of our Cui family absolutely cannot do such a thing!"

He has always been proud of his family, proud of Ying now, how could he allow himself to use such despicable means to seize the position of the most noble palace, and use such despicable means to develop the Cui family.

Hearing that Jinying dared to say this, Cui Shanggong's face turned cold, "I still don't shut up!"

"It seems that you don't know much about this matter."

"As you said, our Cui family's ancestors are the palace empresses, and they all have the strength to become the most noble palace empress. However, qualifications are just qualifications. In the court, it is impossible to achieve the highest status just because of qualifications. "

"Do you think that in the past, because other noble palaces were not qualified to be the most noble palaces, our Cui family will be passed down from generation to generation?"

Jinying listened in a daze, without saying a word.

"You are so smart, how can you not understand this truth?"

"In the palace, we must rely on those powerful people. We must help them do something behind their backs. This is the reason why our family exists today."

"In our position, although we can't become a scholar-bureaucrat's family, we can get more wealth than the nobles. Because we help the royal family and the nobles, we can be richer than the nobles."

"This is our family's destiny."

As if accepting Cui Shanggong's words, Jinying no longer resisted as fiercely as before, but began to think about Cui Shanggong's words.

"But we can also tell other people to do it, why should we do it ourselves?"

If someone else did it instead of them doing it herself, she could still deceive herself that she had never done such a thing at all, that she had never done anything harmful to nature, and her hands were still used for cooking.

"After becoming a wife, you must do a big thing. This is the training policy that has been passed down from the previous generations of empresses to the present. You must experience fear to be strong. When I was promoted to a wife, I also did such a thing , and even killed a friend of the same school because of this incident." Cui Shanggong told Jinying the secret she had buried for many years without any care, and this wound had rotted in her heart, just like the future Jinying. Ying, one day she will become exactly the same as she is now.

"The second reason is: who can you trust in the court. Go ahead and hide this spell in the dining room. This spell will turn the prince in the belly of the empress into a princess."

"You can't refuse, and you can't break away from you. You have to accept the fate of your family and hide this spell in the dining room."

"I refuse." Jinying stood up and walked to the door, "My pride absolutely does not allow me to use such means to win the position of the most noble palace and consolidate the position of the Cui family."

Jinying thought of Jang Geum, and she knew that Jang Geum's goal was also the position of the most noble palace. If, if she used such a despicable method, then what face would she have to meet Jang Geum, and what qualifications would she have to meet Jang Geum? Let's compete for the position of the most noble palace together today.

Closing her eyes, Jinying gritted her teeth and walked out of Cui Shanggong's place, not daring to look back at Cui Shanggong's expression, no matter what, her pride would not allow herself to do such a thing.

Behind him, Cui Shanggong looked at the closed door and chuckled. She knew Jinying too well, and Jinying's reaction did not surprise her at all. It was precisely because she knew Jinying too well. So Cui Shanggong believed, "You will definitely come back to me, just like I did back then."

After struggling for a long time, between the principle and the family, between his pride and the rules, he was finally unable to contend, and accepted the dark mission. Even if he killed his most beloved person, this path had already been chosen by the family. She has to keep going on the road she has set.

Jang Geum did not feel the spiritual torture that Jinying received at all. When Jinying ran out from Cui Sanggong's place, Jang Geum was still thinking about how to be able to enter the retreat in this rare place. By chance during the dining room, I found her mother's brochure in the dining room.

Inside Liansheng and Changjin's premises, Changjin looked at Liansheng who was packing up, and moved closer to Liansheng, "Liansheng, let me help you on duty today."

Hearing what Jang Jin said, Lian Sheng stopped what he was doing, knelt and sat on the floor, his face was a little confused, frowning, he still asked Jang Jin.

"You came to help me on duty, I am very grateful to you." For a lazy person like Liansheng, it is very painful for her to be on duty. When there is no one in the middle of the night, she can't help but want to If she dozed off, if she was found out by the ladies of the Shang Palace, she would be punished badly, "But why do you always help me to be on duty recently? You even help Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Li to be on duty?"

"No, there's no reason." Jang Jin laughed a few times. She didn't expect Lian Sheng to be so sensitive. It might be that she was too eager and obvious, but there were not many chances of being able to enter the dining room. After the time for Gong and the mediator to be punished, she could no longer enter the dining room.

"You are so strange." Lian Sheng looked at Jang Jin and muttered.

"Don't forget it, I just want to help you because you seem to be suffering from the wind and cold." Jang Jin pouted and turned around to leave, Lian Sheng stopped her, "I didn't say no."

Jang Geum smiled, and when he was about to say something, he saw Jinying walking towards his house with a distraught expression on his face.

"I'm sorry, Liansheng, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you go on duty later." Although the opportunity is rare, but seeing Jinying's expression, Chang Jin felt that Jinying must have encountered some serious event. In terms of looking for brochures, Jinying, who was right in front of her eyes, made her even more concerned.

"Eh? How could it be like this." Lian Sheng was astonished. She didn't expect that Jang Geum would change his mind right when they had just agreed.

"I'm really sorry, but Jinying seems to be in some trouble, can I help you on duty next time?" Jang Jin looked in the direction where Jinying was leaving, she had never seen Jinying with such an expression .

Liansheng pursed his lips, although he was reluctant, he still agreed to Jang Geum's proposal.

Chang Jin heaved a sigh of relief, and hurried towards Jinying's house.

Jinying has been immersed in her own thoughts, until after entering the room, sitting on the floor, wrapping her hands around her knees, she relaxes a little, letting herself cry again in a low voice.

"In the palace, we must rely on those powerful people. We must help them do something behind their backs. This is the reason why our family exists today."

Cui Shanggong's words seemed to be still echoing in his ears.

"But what was the ego I'd been carrying all along?"

She has always been full of confidence in herself and proud of her family.

"As the woman of the supreme king of Joseon, I prepare the best royal meals for the king. This is the highest state and reputation I have long expected."

The most regrettable thing about being reborn as a woman is that she can't serve the country with her talent and learning, and wasted this talent for nothing. She is not willing to marry like this, and she takes care of her husband and raises her children, so she tries hard to stand out among the girls of the Cui family. palace.

"However, how is it different from those villains who pretended to be fake and jumped from pariah to scholar-bureaucrat overnight?"

The stinky men she despises are not talented but can occupy high positions. If she does this, what is the difference from those stinky men.

"Could it be that I entered the palace just to do this?"

Jinying wished to go back in time, she would not go to her place with Cui Shanggong, not to hear those words, and not to destroy her admiration and pride for the Cui family.

Jinying sat in the dark like this for a long time, letting the tears fall, until he heard the hurried footsteps outside the door, Jinying wiped the tears on his face hastily.

She recognized that the footsteps belonged to Jang Geum.

Decide

Jinying sat in the dark like this for a long time, letting the tears fall, until he heard the hurried footsteps outside the door, Jinying wiped the tears on his face hastily.

Pushing open the door, after Jang Geum entered the room, he saw that Jinying was in a low mood, lowering his head and ignoring others, but he could allow her to come in directly, Jang Geum felt that there should be no major problem.

Jang Geum thought that it was Cui Sanggong who reprimanded Jinying, and Jinying was so depressed, so he walked to Jinying's side, sat down, and rested his head on Jinying, silently comforting Jinying.

Jin Ying did not push away
