Chapter 1456 Concubines fighting!

Ye Ling and Pei Zhixiu didn’t have much interaction, and the two had only met twice!
The first time was a few years ago. Ye Mingsheng had not yet led his troops into the pass. He was still accumulating strength in Liaoyang and waiting for the opportunity to enter the pass. In order to increase the cohesion and centripetal force of the Ye family, Ye Mingsheng held a ceremony to worship his ancestors. At that time, almost all members of the clan participated in it!

It was at that ceremony that Ye Ling met Pei Zhixiu for the first time. Because it was rumored at the time that Ye Mingsheng doted on this woman he brought back from the palace, Ye Ling was also very curious about how Pei Zhixiu looked like and how she was so beautiful that she could surpass An Miaoyi and be favored by Ye Mingsheng alone!

Although Bae Ji-soo is very beautiful and has a good temperament, to be honest, Ye Ling was a little disappointed when she first met Bae Ji-soo!

Because when Ye Ling heard that Pei Zhixiu was more favored by Ye Mingsheng than An Miaoyi, she naturally thought that Pei Zhixiu was more beautiful than An Miaoyi!
But in fact, it is just the opposite. Although the stars in the sky are shining enough, they are still somewhat dimmed by the bright moon.

Therefore, Ye Ling was very confused as to why Ye Mingsheng favored Pei Zhixiu even though he already had a more beautiful wife, An Miaoyi!
Because Ye Ling's husband Wang Xuecheng was the deputy director of the General Coordination Office at the time and knew a lot of intelligence inside the Fengwu Army, so Ye Ling also asked Wang Xuecheng this question out of curiosity...
Wang Xuecheng was speechless at the time about his wife's raging gossip. If it was any other gossip, he would have no problem telling Ye Ling, but this matter involved Ye Mingsheng's family affairs, so Wang Xuecheng was also very secretive and could only seriously warn his wife to stop gossiping and not to ask around.

However, the more Wang Xuecheng acted like this, the more curious Ye Ling became about the underlying reasons, and she would often find opportunities to ask Wang Xuecheng about it.

At first, Wang Xuecheng was able to stick to his bottom line and not reveal more information, but under his wife's pestering, Wang Xuecheng could only reveal a little and told Ye Ling that if he were Ye Mingsheng, he would love Pei Zhixiu more. After all, the eldest lady's heart was full of desire for power!
Wang Xuecheng's answer also left a very deep impression on Ye Ling, but later because they had no intersection in life, Ye Ling gradually stopped paying attention to Pei Zhixiu.

When Ye Ling met Pei Zhixiu for the second time, it was already the beginning of the year. At that time, Ye Mingsheng changed Zhou to Qian, officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and held a series of celebrations. As a third-rank lady, Ye Ling also participated in these celebrations and met Pei Zhixiu.

This was the second time she met Pei Zhixiu, and Pei Zhixiu surprised Ye Ling no less than the first time!

During the celebration, Ye Ling met Pei Zhixiu again when she paid a visit to Queen Mother Ye Cui and Queen An Miaoyi, and had a close conversation with Pei Zhixiu.

At that time, Ye Ling was surprised to find that although Pei Zhixiu looked more mature in temperament, she was still bare-faced and without any makeup. Even so, her skin was still as delicate as that of a girl, full of luster and without any wrinkles. Her overall condition was not only outstanding among the imperial concubines who were all over 30 years old, but also very eye-catching!
If Ye Ling didn't know her, she would definitely mistake her for a new concubine entering the palace, rather than Concubine Pei who had already given birth to two children!
Ye Ling was a little shocked at the time. After all, she was only three years older than Pei Zhixiu, and they both had children. But now she has become a yellow-faced woman. She dared not look in the mirror every morning. Whenever she went out to meet people, she had to put on heavy makeup to slightly cover the traces of time.

Therefore, Ye Ling is also very envious of Pei Zhixiu's condition. She thinks Pei Zhixiu has really taken good care of herself. It is amazing that the mother of two children still looks as good as a young girl...
At that time, Ye Ling was thinking that if she had the chance, she would definitely learn from Pei Zhixiu how to maintain her beauty.

But unfortunately, due to the hustle and bustle of chores, Ye Ling gradually forgot about these things. She never thought that she would see Pei Zhixiu again at Tianci Temple!

Thinking of this, Ye Ling couldn't help but be curious about why Pei Zhixiu came to Tianci Temple. The ZZ intuition cultivated by many years of being in the circle of power and wealth made her keenly aware that Pei Zhixiu's arrival this time seemed to be not simple!
So Ye Ling was hesitant whether to go and take a look, but then she changed her mind and realized that the purpose of her trip was to show her sincerity to the Bodhisattva, so as to reduce Wang Xuecheng's sins and let him suffer less in the underworld!

If I go to check what Pei Zhixiu is doing in Tianci Temple now, wouldn't it show that I am not sincere?

Realizing this, Ye Ling immediately gave up the idea and put her hands together and said silently in her heart:
“Amitabha, what a sin, what a sin…”

With her firm belief, Ye Ling waited for half an incense stick of time before it was her turn to enter Tianci Temple. However, the nuns nearby did not recognize the woman in front of them as the third-rank lady who had come here several times before, so no one paid any attention to Ye Ling!
Such treatment made Ye Ling, who was usually surrounded by people when she came to Tianci Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, feel a little uncomfortable. However, when she thought about the purpose of her visit today, Ye Ling did not care so much and continued to kneel in front of the Bodhisattva in Tianci Temple as usual.

Looking at the Bodhisattva who looked as majestic as ever, Ye Ling knelt down devoutly, clasped her hands together and prayed silently in her heart.

Because Ye Ling had entered through the VIP channel before, no one had ever urged her to pray. However, because she had now hidden her identity and queued up to enter Tianci Temple, before she had finished praying, an old nun came over and said:
"Donor! The Bodhisattva will bless you. The people behind you are still queuing up!"

Ye Ling, whose prayer was interrupted, immediately felt angry, but as soon as she stood up, she felt a tingling sensation in her body. Before she could figure out where the pain came from, she fell to the ground with everything going dark before her eyes!
Looking at Ye Ling falling to the ground, the old nun who had just urged Ye Ling was also a little confused. But at this time, the maids and servants around Ye Ling also surrounded her anxiously.

"Madam! Wake up! Wake up!"

"Madam! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

Seeing that Ye Ling still hadn't woken up, the nanny beside her was at a loss, and had to anxiously ask for help from the nun next to her:
“Our wife is a third-rank imperial lady of the imperial court. Please rescue our wife quickly…”

"Steamed bun!"

"Ouch!"

"Steamed bun!"

"Ouch!"

In the imperial garden, Murong Xinyun was teasing her puppy with a smile on her face. Every time the girl called out, the puppy responded enthusiastically. Looking at the puppy's wagging tail, the girl's beautiful eyes also smiled into crescent shapes.

While playing, Murong Xinyun threw the small sandbag in his hand into the grass beside him. Seeing this, the little boy rushed into the grass without any hesitation. However, at this moment, a group of people came out from the small path beside the grass.

The next second, a rebuke was heard from a distance.

"Where did this evil beast come from!" Before Murong Xinyun could react to what happened, a painful howl of Mantou was heard from the bushes. Murong Xinyun immediately ran over upon hearing it.

When Murong Xinyun arrived at the scene, Chen Rouer and several maids were standing by, and her little puppy Mantou was lying on the ground in pain, still biting the ugly little sandbag that Murong Xinyun had embroidered for it.

Murong Xinyun's heart almost broke when she saw this scene, and she hurried over to check on Mantou. At this moment, a voice came to Murong Xinyun's ears.

"Empress Yun! When you saw my queen, you didn't come to pay your respects, but went to see your dog instead. You are too presumptuous. Do you still know the rules of the palace?"

After hearing this, Murong Xinyun finally noticed Chen Rouer and her group. She saw that the person who spoke was a maid beside Chen Rouer who was bossing people around.
Although he knew that his bun must have been kicked by these people, Murong Xinyun could only suppress his anger due to the palace rules and walked up to Chen Rouer and saluted:
"Greetings to Her Majesty Concubine Rou..."

Seeing Murong Xinyun, who came from a prominent family, being so humble in front of her, Chen Rouer was secretly delighted, but she pretended to be calm and waved her hand and said:

"Is this dog raised by you, Yunpin?"

After hearing what Chen Rouer said, Murong Xinyun realized that the other party was asking even though she knew the answer. After all, the news that Ye Mingsheng had helped her find a dog had spread throughout the palace, and everyone knew that Murong Xinyun had a puppy named Mantou.

Although he realized this, Chen Rou'er was a concubine and he was only a concubine, so Murong Xinyun had to respond:

"To reply to Madam Roufei, this dog is mine!"

Hearing Murong Xinyun's answer, Chen Rouer immediately snorted coldly:

"Yunpin, you really have a good dog! When I came over just now, it actually wanted to rush over and bite me. If it weren't for the help of the nanny beside me, I would have been bitten by your good dog by now!"

Murong Xinyun was a little surprised when she heard this. Although she was not at the scene and did not see the whole process clearly, she clearly saw that her little girl was biting a sandbag in her mouth. In that case, how could she rush over to bite Chen Rouer?

In order to prevent herself from seeing things wrong, Murong Xinyun glanced at the steamed bun lying on the ground again, only to see that the puppy was still biting the small sandbag in its mouth...

Seeing this, Murong Xinyun did not tolerate it and said directly:
"Empress Rou, look for yourself. Mantou is still biting that sandbag in his mouth. How could he rush over to bite you when he has something in his mouth?"

Seeing this, Chen Rouer subconsciously looked over, only to see that the puppy was biting an ugly sandbag in its mouth. She immediately felt that she had miscalculated.

It has been a long time since Ye Mingsheng last visited her. Therefore, Chen Rouer, who was unwilling to be ignored, was thinking about meeting Ye Mingsheng by chance after hearing that Ye Mingsheng would run and exercise in the Imperial Garden from time to time these days.

Although this kind of behavior had been banned by the Queen Mother in the previous meeting, Chen Rouer didn't care about it when she thought about being ignored.

So for several days in a row, Chen Rouer came to the Imperial Garden, hoping to meet Ye Mingsheng by chance, but unfortunately, God did not allow her to meet Ye Mingsheng. When she came, Ye Mingsheng left, and when she left, Ye Mingsheng came!

It was as if Ye Mingsheng was deliberately avoiding her. Chen Rouer, who had just arrived at the Imperial Garden, learned that Ye Mingsheng had just returned from running not long ago. This made Chen Rouer extremely upset. On the way back, she saw Xiao Mantou!
Because of the last dog-finding incident, Xiao Mantou became a star dog in the harem. After seeing Xiao Mantou, Chen Rouer thought of Murong Xinyun. When she thought of the ambiguity between her and Ye Mingsheng, Chen Rouer immediately became jealous. So when Xiao Mantou was running back with the sandbag in his mouth, she kicked him...

Chen Rouer kicked very hard, as if she was not kicking the puppy, but its owner Murong Xinyun!

Seeing her lie exposed by Murong Xinyun, Chen Rouer was a little flustered, but she, who was always stubborn, immediately came up with a plan and said in a delicate voice:
"Who knows when this evil beast will bite the sandbag again?"

Seeing Chen Rouer's unreasonable behavior, Murong Xinyun was also furious. She wanted to continue to say something, but before she could open her mouth, Chen Rouer continued to turn the tables and said:

"Yunpin, I know you come from a famous family. The Murong clan is powerful and influential, and they look down on us, a small family. You also have a sister who is a concubine and helps manage the harem, but you can't let your dog hurt people in the palace!"

Hearing Chen Rouer say this, Murong Xinyun was even more furious, but she rarely had arguments with others, so she didn't know what to say at this time and could only defend herself:

"When did I let the dog hurt anyone? Concubine Rou, please stop talking nonsense and slandering me maliciously!"

"Yunpin, you let your dog hurt people and you still refuse to admit it! You are such a bully!"

After saying this, Chen Rouer said to the palace maids around her:
"Did you all see that this evil beast was about to rush up and bite me?"

Although everyone saw that it was Chen Rouer who stepped forward and kicked Mantou who was running back away, but at this moment, facing their master's misleading, these palace maids had no other choice but to agree...
