After Song Yunqian ascended the throne, he had already changed many of the ancestor's rules, especially with regards to matters such as the imperial concubine concubine.

Both were women he did not love, and the ceremony was a burden, and the Empress knew what he was thinking, so she did not stop him.

However, after Wen Yi descended the Flying Dragon Order and wanted to bestow Chen Yurou with the title of Imperial Concubine Rou, Song Yunqian still gave the order according to the tradition of bestowing him the title of ancestor with a concubine.

This was a honor that even Ke Er had never enjoyed before. Although Song Yunqian would still not attend the Consort Seal Ceremony, to the people of the later palace maid, this was no doubt a bomb in the deep water.

Especially since they were only brought to the palace by a small palanquin, while the Imperial Concubine Rou had already arranged for an eight carriers palanquin to be prepared by Chen Yuanqing. What was even more frightening was that the palanquin bearers were actually eight generals leading soldiers.

"Of these eight generals, three are of the second rank, two are of the third rank and three are of the third rank." Qian Shan described the rumors outside vividly. She knew that Chen Yuzhu had a different meaning to Song Yunqian and the empress dowager, so she intentionally said all these in front of Song Yunqian and the empress dowager to make them hate Chen Yurou.

Wen Yi naturally understood Qian Shan's thoughts. She glared at Qian Shan speechlessly, and then looked at the empress dowager apologetically. The empress dowager's expression was already very bad, and she and Song Yunqian had waited here with the Imperial Concubine Rou for more than an hour, but they hadn't thought that they would actually get such news.

"This Chen Yuanqing is going too far. What does he want to do? The generals of this dynasty have become his sedan bearers? " The empress dowager had not been so angry in so many years as she had been nurturing her health.

"Empress Dowager, the General Chen cherishes her little sister. This sentiment is understandable, so please don't be angry. Furthermore, the matters of Chen Yuzhu all those years ago, it was the Emperor who let her down. This can be considered to make up for it." Seeing that Song Yunqian was angry, Wen Yi quickly comforted him.

"Hmph, if we didn't feel sorry for that child Yu Zhu, we wouldn't have let him off so easily these past few years. However, I didn't expect that he would become even more lawless, to the point where he didn't even put the Emperor in his eyes anymore." Although the empress dowager did not care about the matters of the court, she could still see that Chen Yuanqing was not a good person. If she did not pay attention to him now, there would be a day when he would be a huge threat.

Your Majesty, you can rest assured that even though you are a bit domineering, you are still a rare talent." Even though he had been comforted by her yesterday, he still couldn't bring himself to think of her acting as his concubine. He couldn't get his mood to improve, so he turned a deaf ear to her pleas for help.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, General Chen and Imperial Concubine Rou have already arrived outside the hall to seek an audience." The Wan Niang walked into the palace and spread the word, successfully freeing the already poor Wen Yi. However, before she could heave a sigh of relief, she heard the empress dowager say, "The Imperial Concubine Rou has overstepped her boundaries. She is only a second rank concubine, but she actually allowed a middle rank second rank general to act as a sedan bearer.

She called him the empress dowager, but the empress dowager wasn't moved in the slightest. She looked at Song Yunqian, who let out a light breath and said, "It's good to let her know her limits before entering the palace. Otherwise, she might rely on Chen Yuanqing's lawlessness after entering the palace."

"Song Yunqian, you did that on purpose, didn't you?" Wen Yi said with confidence as she thought about Song Yunqian's calm face before.

"You …"

"Wen Yi, you asked me to take on your wife, I will take on her offer, but you can't possibly have to even manage the process of taking on her, right? Furthermore, you are the Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect, you don't have the authority to discipline your own daughter-in-law. " The corners of Song Yunqian's mouth curled into a smile as he spoke, and the empress dowager's face had a smile on it. It was clear that they had prepared to do this a long time ago.

Wen Yi finally understood that they were doing all this for her. Just as the empress dowager had said, the punishment the Imperial Concubine Rou received today had nothing to do with Wen Yi, but the Imperial Concubine Rou who recognized her identity wanted to live in the imperial harem that Wen Yi was in charge of. This way, she could be considered as having killed the Imperial Concubine Rou and it would also be considered a warning to Chen Yuanqing.

"But Imperial Concubine Rou's health is not good, your thirty boards …" Wen Yi was still a little worried. After all, she had witnessed Chen Yuanqing's pettiness, so if the empress dowager was angered by him, she didn't know what he would do.

"Only by beating her will she be able to behave herself in the palace, saving herself a lot of unnecessary trouble." Song Yunqian spoke sincerely and earnestly told Wen Yi.

Wen Yi looked at Song Yunqian and nodded in the end.

The Feast of the Consort tonight would definitely not be peaceful. Chen Yuzhu not attending due to her injuries was also good, but it could also be considered a form of protection. If Imperial Concubine Rou was really Chen Yuzhu, would she feel resentment?

Wen Yi finally gave up on trying to stop them, but Chen Yuanqing still charged into the great hall aggressively.

The current Chen Yuanqing was dressed in a brand-new jujube red robe, his appearance had clearly been meticulously modified, and was less radiant than the time he was in the armor, but currently, the anger on his face was like fire, falling onto Wen Yi's body.

"I knew it was you, this woman, who was messing with me. You've already killed her once, do you still want to kill her once more?" When Chen Yuanqing was speaking, he had already extended his hand out, aiming straight for Wen Yi's neck. Wen Yi used all her strength to retreat a few steps, escaping Chen Yuanqing's control. Just as she steadied her body, she realized that Song Yunqian had already made his move, and his hand was tightly grabbing onto Chen Yuanqing's neck.

Chen Yuanqing stared at Song Yunqian in anger, and raised his hand to stop him. Seeing that he had given up resisting, Song Yunqian sneered, and said: "Don't think that we can ignore us just because we allow you to, she is not someone you can touch."

Song Yunqian gasped for breath as his flushed face gradually regained its original color. He said to Song Yunqian fiercely, "He is your bottom line, but this general also has his bottom line. She was the one who touched my bottom line first."

"Chen Yuanqing, your bottom line is that I have to go with you." The empress dowager was shocked when she saw Chen Yuanqing make his move on Wen Yi. She did not expect Chen Yuanqing to be so daring to such an extent, and when she recovered from her shock, what she heard was Chen Yuanqing's words.

"Esteemed empress dowager, without her instigation, how could you have treated Rou'er like this? You …"

"If she was as obedient and sensible as Yu Zhu, of course I wouldn't let her be punished. But now, with the laws and regulations of our ancestors all laid down, I can't let the general, who is fighting for the nation on the battlefield, become the bearer of a concubine. "If she is only your younger sister, I have no right to question her actions. However, if she is the emperor's woman, then we cannot trample on the dignity of these generals. This is a disrespect to the soldiers on the battlefield." Her Majesty's words stabbed into the hearts of everyone present like needles or blades.

Chen Yuanqing had also fought on the battlefield before, and he was more clear of the soldiers' pride and courage. As he listened to the empress dowager's words, he suddenly thought of the shocked and disappointed look on the generals' faces when he ordered them to carry the palanquin for his little sister.
