Chapter 529 The Queen Mother is furious
An Lingrong never took Concubine Qi seriously.
Anyway, according to Concubine Qi's purpose, she just wanted to cling to Zhen Huan.
Unless she could replace him, or Zhen Huan showed signs of falling out of favor, given Concubine Qi's utilitarianism, she would definitely not miss such a good opportunity to passively win favor.
But then again, considering An Lingrong's understanding of Zhen Huan.
An Lingrong believed that with Zhen Huan's abilities, dealing with Concubine Qi would be easy.
"No wonder the young master wasn't worried before!"
A few days later, An Lingrong was reading in her palace as usual when she saw Fang Ruo walking in with a happy look on her face and saying these words.
Fang Ruo is an old staff in the palace, and this is not the first day that she has followed An Lingrong.
An Lingrong knew her character well. To make Fang Ruo say such words, she was afraid that something must have happened in the palace again!
Thinking back, An Lingrong remembered that when she went to pay her respects to the Queen before, the Queen looked normal and there didn't seem to be any problems. Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were also the same as usual.
Just from the changes in the people around her, An Lingrong couldn't see any clues for a while, so she simply didn't think about it herself, and just said to Fang Ruo: "Aunt is so happy, but is there any good news?"
"Haha, young lady, you don't know, there is something. Whether I like it or not, I can't tell you, but I think it is beneficial rather than harmful to our Yonghe Palace!"
Seeing An Lingrong's curious expression, Fang Ruo did not keep her in suspense and said to her immediately, "My lady, I was going to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but I met Aunt Zhuxi who was with the Queen Mother on the way. Then I learned that it was Concubine Qi who was disrespectful and made the Queen Mother unhappy!"
Having said that, Fang Ruo also shook her head.
This noble lady Qi is born beautiful, but I never thought that she is actually brainless!
Just thinking that he had the Queen's favor, he actually became so proud of himself!
He dared to speak rudely in front of the Queen Mother. He really has no idea of his own limitations!
"Oh?"
When An Lingrong heard this, she also raised her eyebrows, "What's going on?"
It was not unexpected for An Lingrong that Concubine Qi would get into trouble.
After all, even if the Queen was by her side giving her advice, given Concubine Qi's personality, there was no way she would listen!
What's more, the Queen had always used Concubine Qi more than anything else.
Since she is not one of their own, or at best a pawn, how much can we expect the queen to care about her?
According to An Lingrong's understanding of the Queen, in order to ensure that her subordinates would obey her orders obediently, the Queen would not only disappear on purpose at times, but would even take the initiative to set traps, which was not a big deal.
However, An Lingrong did not expect that Concubine Qi could cause trouble with the Empress Dowager!
Isn't this just asking for death?
"you do not say!"
Seeing that An Lingrong also had a speechless look on her face, Fang Ruo immediately told An Lingrong in vivid detail all the "gossip" she had heard from Aunt Zhuxi.
Ever since she "overstepped her authority" over An Lingrong, although her position in Yonghe Palace had not changed at all, the little maids under her still obeyed her arrangements as always.
But in Fangruo's heart, she still felt that her previous behavior was rude and offended her master.
Even if An Lingrong did not pursue the matter, Fang Ruo found it difficult to get over the hurdle in her heart.
It was also for this reason that when Fang Ruo had the opportunity to help An Lingrong, she spared no effort to do so.
After hearing Fang Ruo's story, An Lingrong finally understood why the usually indifferent empress dowager would "have the same opinion" as Concubine Qi, the emperor's new favorite.
All in all, Concubine Qi is just too stupid!
Originally, Concubine Qi was one of the few people who went to Shoukang Palace without the Queen's guidance.
As for Concubine Qi, she also thought that this was a sign that the Empress Dowager valued her.
Concubine Qi made up her mind to take advantage of this opportunity to perform well in front of the Queen Mother, and hopefully win her favor.
Unfortunately, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is far from satisfactory.
"Originally, the Queen Mother summoned Concubine Hui and the little princess as well in addition to Concubine Qi."
Fang Ruo said: "According to Aunt Zhuxi, the Queen Mother's meeting with Concubine Qi seems to have been mentioned many times by the Queen before..."
Otherwise, how could a mere noble lady be specially remembered by the Queen Mother?
Even though Concubine Qi was considered a meritorious minister because the Guwalja clan helped the emperor eliminate the Nian clan, in the eyes of the empress dowager, that was something that Yongzheng needed to worry about and had nothing to do with her.
But the Empress Dowager knew that Concubine Qi was able to enter the palace because of the Queen's secret alliance with the Guwalja clan.
Out of pressure on the Queen, after the Queen recommended Concubine Qi to her several times, the Queen Mother finally came up with the idea of meeting Concubine Qi.
As a result, when Shen Meizhuang, who usually lived in Shoukang Palace, brought her daughter to visit the empress dowager, she was unexpectedly met with cold ridicule from Concubine Qi for no reason!
This not only shocked Shen Meizhuang, but even the others were terrified by what Concubine Qi did!
To the Queen Mother, this was more than just a low-ranking concubine challenging her superior!
Shen Meizhuang has always been favored by her, and this is something that everyone in the palace knows.
It was after the Queen's approval that Concubine Qi went to speak to the Emperor and then entered the palace.
This time, it was the Queen's idea to ask the other party to come to Shoukang Palace to pay her respects.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager naturally believed that it was the Queen who instructed Concubine Qi to be rude to Shen Meizhuang.
Looking at it from another angle, isn't this just the Queen slapping herself in the face?
So the Queen Mother was furious!
"This……"
After listening to Fang Ruo's story, An Lingrong fell into speechlessness.
She knew that Concubine Qi was stupid.
But to do something like this at this time really makes me speechless.
However, An Lingrong felt that the Queen might not have intentionally asked Concubine Qi to do this.
But no one knew what Concubine Qi was thinking. She felt that doing so might be beneficial to herself, so she was "being too clever for her own good".
Thinking back to her previous life, Concubine Qi had often gone against Concubine Xi who had returned to the palace, and the final result was always that she returned in disgrace.
However, now that things have turned out like this, Concubine Qi and the Queen must be extremely worried!
"My Lord, what do you think?"
After a moment of silence, An Lingrong suddenly laughed. Fang Ruo didn't understand why, so she asked.
