Qin Xinrou can't lose money by stealing chickens, but she has a very arrogant personality. Even if Ye Chu caught her shortcoming this time, she is not willing to bow her head and admit her mistake obediently.

"Why, the empress is so secretive... one thing in the open, one in the dark, isn't it done by an upright person?"

Qin Xinrou had asked her spies in the palace to inquire about it a long time ago. Fang Pingting didn't want to make a marriage at first, so she deliberately made a fool of herself at the state banquet.

It was because she was aware of Ye Chu's intentions that she wanted to evade this task, but after being taught a lesson by Ye Chu, she had no choice but to agree to the matter, and became a princess Ruyi for the country and relatives.

Princess Ruyi has a noble status, but in the end she is just a chess piece that the court throws away when it runs out.

At the beginning, Fang Pingting rushed into the palace to wait for the emperor, and she also shouldered the task of the Shen family dispatching the charming king. How could she leave the rich and prosperous capital so easily and go to the barbaric land of Fanbang?

Qin Xinrou concluded that Fang Pingting had a grudge against Ye Chu. She originally wanted to provoke the two of them. Once the two match up, she could benefit from it.

But Ye Chu was very sober, he didn't take her fault at all, instead he wanted to punish her for it.

Seeing Qin Xinrou's dissatisfied expression, Ye Chu said, "Could it be that Concubine Shu is dissatisfied with this palace's decision?"

"Today Concubine Shu uttered bad words to Princess Ruyi, who is a peacemaker for the country, so what if I just go outside and kneel for a few hours?"

Ye Chu asked back very lightly, which made Qin Xinrou's heart skip a beat.Just when she was thinking about whether she should endure this loss and get back to the scene next time, she saw Ye Chu flicking his sleeves as if to leave.

Qin Xinrou pursed her lips, and angrily raised her legs and walked out, but before she could walk out of the main hall gate, she heard Ye Chu add a sentence of punishment in a strong tone.

"Concubine Shu offends the palace. After kneeling for two hours, she will be punished and grounded in the palace. She will copy the palace rules ten times!"

Leaving these words behind, Ye Chufang left contentedly, leaving only Qin Xinrou standing stiffly in the hall, slowly clenched the hands hanging in the sleeves.

The news that Concubine Shu was punished by the queen in Fengqi Palace spread quickly throughout the six palaces like wings.

When Qin Xinrou went back, she met a low-ranking concubine who was admiring the flowers in the imperial garden. Although she had a decent posture, after kneeling for two hours, her walking was stiff and her face was gloomy.

However, these concubines were well-informed. When they bowed to Qin Xinrou to salute, their eyes inadvertently showed a bit of amusement and sarcasm.

Qin Xinruan was always arrogant, and after she was punished just now, she was particularly sensitive to the strange gazes of others, and now she felt angry.

However, considering that she had just been punished by Ye Chu and was about to be sent back to the palace to be grounded, she held back her breath, but secretly kept these concubines in her heart, and planned to take revenge next time.

When Qin Xinrou passed by a lake next to the imperial garden, she saw the top of the tower of the imperial study from a distance.

After a little hesitation, she turned around and led the maid beside her who dared not show her breath to the imperial study.

The maid who had served Qin Xinrou for a long time saw her master's intentions at a glance, and the maid suddenly showed bitterness.

She wanted to persuade Qin Xinrou not to gossip, but she didn't have the courage, so she could only watch Qin Xinrou come to the imperial study to ask for information.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu is here!"

When Qin Xinrou was kneeling outside Fengqi Hall, someone with a clever mind sent a letter to Zhang Gonggong.

Eunuch Zhang kept this news in his heart, thinking that with Concubine Shu's character, he must not be willing to swallow this matter, maybe he would come to complain to the emperor, and now it really has come!

Thinking of the difference in personality between Qin Xinrou and Ye Chu, the two palace masters, Eunuch Zhang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

As the lord of the six palaces, Ye Chu has never acted arrogantly, Qin Xinrou just relied on her father, Qin Qi, who called the wind and rain in the court, to act unscrupulously...

When Wen Zheng heard Eunuch Zhang's report, the ink brush in his hand, which was reviewing the memorial, stopped in mid-air.

"Why is Concubine Shu here?"

Wen Zheng didn't have the heart to accompany Qin Xinrou right now, um, but he saw the embarrassment on Eunuch Zhang's face, so he guessed that Qin Xinrou must have something hidden when he came here at this time.

After questioning, he found out that Qin Xinrou was punished by Ye Chu in Fengqi Palace, and now she is probably here to complain about her grievances!

Thinking of this, Wen Zheng raised his hands and rubbed the center of his brows with some headaches.

He sighed deeply, put away the impatient look on his face, and asked Eunuch Zhang to invite Qin Xinrou in.

As soon as Qin Xinrou walked into the imperial study, she twisted her waist, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and leaned towards Wen Zheng's arms full of grievances.

Although the beauty was in his arms, but where Qin Xinrou couldn't see the very intimate cuddling action, Wen Zheng's eyes flashed bored.

"What's wrong with Rou'er, it looks like she has something on her mind?" Wen Zheng calmed down and asked softly in Qin Xinrou's ear.

Qin Xinrou was overjoyed immediately, and cried out what happened to her in Fengqi Palace just now.

However, when she spoke, she deliberately downplayed her hostility and provocative intentions against Pingting, and only said that Ye Chu took the meaning out of context and wanted to punish her.

Wen Zheng didn't believe what Qin Xinrou said, but he still had to do a good job on the surface, so he said flatly, "Rou'er, that Fang Pingting is just a girl from a humble background, and she is about to leave for Fanbang. I will never meet again, so why do you have to make things difficult for her?"

I have to say, from Qin Xinrou's point of view that it's hard to see others, such words are indeed an excellent comfort.

Qin Xinrou's mood was half calmed down, but after thinking about it, she asked coquettishly, "Your Majesty, but the empress punishes the concubine, what should the concubine do?"

This is to ask Wen Zheng to speak out to avoid Ye Chu's punishment, but Wen Zheng is not willing to make Ye Chu unhappy in such a matter.

But Qin Xinrou was sitting in front of him... Wen Zheng had a flash of light in his mind, and said with a smile: "Actually, this is a good thing. You still remember that the Queen Mother worshiped Buddha in Zhuyin Temple. Pray for the prince in the Yin Temple!"

Now Buddhism and Taoism are extremely prosperous, and the Empress Dowager has been worshiping Buddha in Zhuyin Temple.After learning that Ye Chuhuai was pregnant, she suggested that Ye Chu stay in Zhuyin Temple for a while, and hold a blessing ceremony for the unborn child in her womb.

Qin Xinrou immediately understood that if she was punished to be grounded in the palace, then she would not have to go to Zhuyin Temple, and the hard work along the way would have nothing to do with her.

Besides, this time Ye Chu's purpose in the past was to pray for the child in her womb...Qin Xinrou hated this child very much, so how could she really pray for blessings?
