Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Fawning

Chapter 131 Collision

Meiruo has been dominating the emperor for many months, and now that his favor has finally been reduced, Yuyan will naturally not miss the opportunity to mock him.

"Sister Yingpin doesn't look well. Could she be sick? Have you asked the imperial physician to come and take a look?"

Meiruo looked indifferent.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine. However, Your Majesty and I have never met before, so I cannot bear to be called your sister."

Although Yuyan appeared calm on the surface, her tone was clearly hostile.

"Look at what you're saying, sister. Although I'm above you in rank, we're both serving the Emperor. The palace is boring, and the days when the Emperor isn't here are the ones we spend time with each other. Sister, you're new to the Forbidden City, and you don't know how the maids at the Old Summer Palace taught the ladies in the harem the rules. You don't even know the most basic etiquette. Fortunately, Concubine Ying didn't say this in front of our petty-minded Empress, otherwise your life would be miserable."

Yuyan's words were earnest and heartfelt. Although they were meant to teach Meiruo, every word she spoke was full of gems of wisdom, hinting everywhere that Meiruo was behaving rudely and lacked etiquette.

Speaking of bravery, if Yuyan in the harem is second to none, no one dares to be first. Even Lanqi and Yanwan were worried for Yuyan. She really dared to offend this little Mongolian princess.

Since the words have been made so clear, Meiruo will naturally fight back.

Meiruo glanced at the person in front of her.

She gave him a contemptuous look and feigned a smile, "Your Majesty, you are truly considerate of me. I do not understand the rules of the Forbidden City, but fortunately, I am young, so I naturally have plenty of time to learn them and accompany the Emperor. As for you, Your Majesty? I heard that before the Fourth Prince was favored, the Emperor had not visited your palace for a long time, right? Indeed, who would like a woman who has another man in her heart? I wonder if the Fourth Prince knows that his mother has a side that is unknown to others?"

Upon hearing this, Noble Lady Ke was stunned, and a look of despair suddenly appeared on his face.

She originally wanted to take Meiruo out to relax, but she didn't expect her to be so outspoken. Although Yuyan and Prince Yu had a good relationship, they hadn't seen each other for more than 20 years.

Yuyan gave birth to four sons for Hongli. How could Meiruo spread the gossip she heard from others and put it on the real person?

Not to mention that even if Hongli didn't care, if this news got to the ears of Prince Yu, war would be inevitable.

Meiruo speaks frankly.

To put it bluntly, she is brainless. As soon as she entered the palace, she relied on her family background and talked about the 49 Mongolian tribes every day. She thought that she was young and beautiful, and Hongli liked her. If Hongli were to react one day, he would send troops to directly wipe out the Mongolian tribes.

If Meiruo is unhappy, does that mean the forty-nine Mongolian tribes are unhappy?

Can she represent Mongolia?

It was so funny.

There are only two identities for women who enter the palace: either concubines or slaves.

Lan Qi and Yan Wan exchanged a glance, a flash of surprise in their eyes. They knew Yu Yan usually liked to gossip about others, so they just let it go, but they didn't expect Mei Ruo to be even more difficult to deal with.

Although Yan Wan and Mei Ruo had a feud in their previous life, except for the time when they fought over the custody of the seventh princess, the two of them were tit-for-tat and even alarmed Zeng Huan, but they had never been as sharp-tongued as they were today.

Two dogs fight, play off.

Lan Qi and Yan Wan were not stupid. They just watched them quietly without making any move to stop the fight.

The same goes for Concubine Ke. She has tried to persuade Meiruo many times but to no avail, and she doesn't want to care about it anymore this time.

The incident with the prince has always been a regret in Yuyan's heart. She loves the prince so much that she can even sacrifice herself for the future of Prince Yu and throw herself into the arms of another man.

In her heart, Prince Yu is the best, and she will never allow anyone to say a bad word about the prince behind his back, even if that person is the emperor's favorite concubine.

Yuyan's smile froze for a moment, then returned to normal.

In those few short seconds, Yuyan thought about going forward and tearing Meiruo's mouth apart, but fortunately, reason finally triumphed over irrationality, and she held back.

However, the wrinkles on the handkerchief in her hand had already betrayed Yuyan.

She spoke slowly, cold as ice, "Yingpin, I'm a Noble Consort, and you're a Concubine. Even if you have the forty-nine tribes of Mongolia behind you, I'm still two ranks higher than you. Not to mention you, even Concubine Cheng and Concubine Ling have to bow when they see me. Concubine, Noble Concubine, the difference is like heaven and earth."

"Forty-nine Mongolian tribes? Even when I was still unmarried, I heard that King Balin was a brave warrior, and that he and the princess had been in love for many years and had never had a mistress. But what Yingpin said today really opened my eyes. I had never heard that the Balin tribe was the leader of the forty-nine Mongolian tribes. Not only me, but do the emperor and the leaders of the other forty-eight tribes know about this?"

Seeing Meiruo's lack of reaction, Yuyan continued, "As a concubine, you not only fail to help the Emperor expand his family and resolve his problems, but you spend all day hanging out with questionable people, gossiping about the concubines in the harem and slandering Prince Yu. You're even saying that Prince Balin has not only extended his hand to the Yu family, but has also extended his hand to the Imperial Palace. If the Emperor knew about this, what do you think he would do?"

Threats? Slander?

Meiruo's head was buzzing at this moment.

Her Abu is loyal to the Qing Dynasty, not as Yuyan said.

Yuyan was extremely disrespectful to King Bahrain, how could Meiruo tolerate it?

Meiruo paused, her eyes fixed, a murderous aura suddenly spreading out, and she cursed, "Shut up, Concubine Jia, the Emperor has seen how loyal my Abu is to the Emperor. How could a mere palace woman like you instigate the relationship between my Abu and the Emperor? You are just relying on your good fortune to give birth to a son for the Emperor. If it weren't for the Fourth Prince, I want to see how arrogant you can be."

Yuyan's eyes suddenly gleamed with a vicious gleam. She knitted her brows together, speaking with resentment, "I do rely on the Fourth Prince and the Yu clan, just like you, Yingpin, rely on the forty-nine tribes of Mongolia. Don't think that just because you've won the Emperor's favor you can gain a firm foothold in the harem. If it weren't for the face of Prince Balin and the Emperor, I would have had Lixin slap you in the face long ago. Based on what you just said, even if I were to send you to the Ministry of Discipline, I'm sure the Emperor wouldn't blame me."

Meiruo staggered back a few steps.

She believed that Hongli's favor towards her was definitely not because of the support behind her.

She also didn't believe that Hongli would really punish herself for such a small matter.

"You... you're talking nonsense. I don't believe you. I'm the little princess of the grassland, and you're just a noblewoman sent as tribute by the Yu family. In the final analysis, you're just a slave. Even if you get the power to manage the harem, what good is it? On the surface, you're the master, but deep down, you're still a slave..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuyan slapped him.

"Yingpin, this slap is my way of teaching you the rules, what to say and what not to say."

Meiruo glanced away heavily, covered her face with her hands, slowly turned around, widened her eyes, and glared at Yuyan with hatred.
