The queen cried the whole harem

Chapter 403 Attack
Rong Wanyin's eyes were burning, she was so excited and too excited that she forgot to restrain herself.

Qi Hengyuan took Yan Ning's hand and was talking to her when he suddenly noticed a burning gaze. He turned around and saw a maid next to Yang Qianyue.

Qi Hengyuan had already seen Rong Wanyin's portrait. Although he had not met her in person, he knew what Rong Wanyin looked like.

This maid looks exactly like Rong Wanyin.

Qi Hengyuan sneered and actually came into the palace.

Qi Hengyuan retracted his gaze, took Yan Ning's hand, and walked to the main seat upstairs: "It's getting late, let's serve the meal!"

As soon as he said this, the palace maids immediately took action. Within a cup of tea, sumptuous dishes were placed on everyone's table.

Qi Hengyuan and Yan Ning sat together, sharing a table. The table was very big and there were more dishes on it than at other tables.

No one talked much during the meal.

After dinner, Qi Hengyuan accompanied Yan Ning to the Imperial Garden for a walk, and the Empress Dowager, Princess Qi, Yang Qianyue and others also followed.

Yan Ning asked Nian Die to take out the prepared birthday gift and hand it to Qi Hengyuan. Then the Empress Dowager and Princess Qi took out the prepared gifts and handed them to Qi Hengyuan. Yang Qianyue also gave her gift. The strange thing was that her gift was not one, but two.

Qi Hengyuan looked at the two gifts and sneered in his heart but did not show it on his face.

He naturally knew about the two gifts, one was from Yang Qianyue and the other was from Rong Wanyin.

Qi Hengyuan did not accept Yang Qianyue's gift, but Eunuch Wang understood and stepped forward to take it.

Qi Hengyuan only accepted Yan Ning's gift, then took Yan Ning's hand and led her to the side, separating her from the group of people.

Qi Hengyuan opened the gift, which turned out to be a jade pendant of very good quality. Compared with the gift Yan Ning gave him last year, this year's jade pendant was much more ordinary.

Qi Hengyuan played with the jade pendant for a while and asked, "My beloved, is there anything special about this jade pendant?"

Yan Ning smiled and said, "It's nothing fancy, it's just an ordinary jade pendant. If Your Majesty doesn't like it, you can put it away first."

Qi Hengyuan glared at her and said, "How could I not like the gift you gave me?"

Qi Hengyuan planned to wear the jade pendant given by Yan Ning, but it was not convenient to change it at the moment, so he put it away first.

Then he talked about the gift Yang Qianyue sent: "It's fine that she brought Rong Wanyin into the palace, but she actually helped Rong Wanyin and sent me a gift. It's really unreasonable."

He said coldly: "These gifts are left to you to deal with. Just throw away the two gifts from Yang Qianyue."

Yan Ning: "..."

If Yang Qianyue knew that His Majesty Qi threw away the gift she carefully prepared, she would be heartbroken.

But there was nothing she could do, because she was helping Rong Wanyin and making Qi Hengyuan so disgusting.

Not to mention that Qi Hengyuan wanted to throw it away, even Yan Ning was unwilling to keep the things that Rong Wanyin sent into the palace.

Yan Ning said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. Princess Heyi doesn't know Rong Wanyin's identity. If she knew, she would definitely not do this. As for those two gifts, I will arrange for someone to deal with them after the banquet is over."

Qi Hengyuan hummed, held her hand, looked at her belly again, and asked, "Are you ready?"

Yan Ning nodded: "Everything is ready."

Qi Hengyuan was still hesitant. He was reluctant to let Yan Ning take any risks, but Yan Ning was determined. If Qi Hengyuan didn't agree with Yan Ning, Yan Ning would get angry. Qi Hengyuan also couldn't bear to let Yan Ning get angry, so he had to agree with her.

But he still struggled, feeling worried and scared, and finally all these emotions turned into anger and rushed directly towards Yang Qianyue.

In Qi Hengyuan's opinion, all this was because of Yang Qianyue. If it weren't for Yang Qianyue, Rong Wanyin would never have been able to enter the palace.

And Rong Wanyin actually had the guts to come to Qi State and even sneak into the palace. She really doesn't know how to live or die.

Qi Hengyuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He held Yan Ning's hand tightly and said, "Let's go. If Rong Wanyin wants to reveal her identity as an envoy, she must do so in front of me. I will give her this opportunity."

Yan Ning nodded, and followed Qi Hengyuan back to the Imperial Garden.

When the people in the Imperial Garden saw Qi Hengyuan coming back, they all looked at him.

Rong Wanyin also used her charm at this time, but as soon as she used it on Qi Hengyuan, it was blocked by the red jade ring on his thumb. However, Yan Ning noticed it and gently poked Qi Hengyuan's palm.

Qi Hengyuan received Yan Ning's hint, and even though he was unwilling in his heart, he still looked bewitched. His dark eyes became blurred as he looked at Rong Wanyin.

As soon as Rong Wanyin saw Qi Hengyuan's expression, she knew that her charm had been successful.

She was proud in her heart, with a shy look on her face. She suddenly walked out from beside Yang Qianyue and bowed to Qi Hengyuan: "Your Majesty..."

After calling him His Majesty, he wanted to continue and make his identity clear. Yan Ning suddenly got angry and frowned, "You are just a maid, and you suddenly rushed in front of your master and tried to seduce His Majesty. What is your intention?"

Rong Wanyin immediately said: "I am not..."

"How dare you! In front of His Majesty, this palace, and Princess Heyi, you actually dare to call yourself "me". Who taught you the rules? Nian Die, slap your face!"

Nian Die immediately rushed forward and slapped Rong Wanyin twice in the face.

Rong Wanyin was stunned by the beating. Yan Ning attacked too suddenly, and Nian Die's movements were very fast. Rong Wanyin concluded that Qi Hengyuan had fallen into her charm. She thought that Qi Hengyuan would not allow Yan Ning to be so presumptuous, and placed her hopes on Qi Hengyuan. Unexpectedly, Qi Hengyuan stood there motionless, as if he was bewitched by her, but he seemed a little stupid and didn't know how to speak out to stop her.

In just this back and forth, she was slapped twice by Nian Die.

After the two slaps sounded and fell, Rong Wanyin finally reacted, and everyone else followed suit.

Yang Qianyue frowned first, and said dissatisfiedly: "Empress Yan, I brought this maid into the palace. You slapped her indiscriminately. Are you slapping me in the face?"

Yan Ning raised her eyelashes slightly and said calmly, "Princess Heyi, she is your maid, right?"

"Yes, how?"

Yan Ning said, "Not really. She is your maid, but she doesn't know the rules. She is committing a crime. It's because you, as the master, failed to discipline her. I can't control her no matter how unruly she is in your princess's mansion. But this is not the princess's mansion. This is the imperial palace. She is unruly in the imperial palace, especially in front of His Majesty, the Empress Dowager, Uncle Qi and Princess Qi. I can't just ignore it."

After saying that, he looked at the Imperial Concubine again and said, "Imperial Concubine, this maid doesn't know the rules and is committing an insubordination. I slapped her twice. Am I wrong?"

The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes. Just now, Rong Wanyin suddenly walked out and suddenly greeted and spoke to Qi Hengyuan. The Empress Dowager felt it was strange and inappropriate. More than inappropriate, it was extremely inappropriate.

This maidservant really broke the rules. She went up to the king before her master had given the order.

She claimed that I didn't commit a serious crime, but her behavior was indeed wrong. Yan Ning didn't punish her severely, just slapping her twice, which was very normal.

The Empress Dowager said: "Noble Concubine Yan did nothing wrong. This maid does not know the rules and needs to be punished. Giving her two slaps is a light punishment."

Then he said to Yang Qianyue, "Princess Heyi, is this maid also so unruly in your house? She walks around and talks without the master's order?"
