"How dare you! Our empress is asking you a question and you don't even respond!"

  The palace maid saw the stunned Qingyan and her face changed, she stepped forward and loudly scolded.

  Qingyan regained her composure and a mocking smile appeared on her lovely face: "All of you from the imperial family can come, why can't I?"

  "How dare you!" The palace maid slightly raised her chin, casting a disdainful glance at Qingyan. "You're just a little servant girl, and yet you dare to compare yourself with our Empress? Our Empress is the epitome of virtue and elegance, there's no place in this world that she cannot go! What are you, anyway? What makes you think you can be compared to the Empress? Furthermore, didn't your master teach you that when speaking to the Empress, one must kneel?"

  What is called "riding on someone's coattails"?

  The palace maidens embody this perfectly.

  As maids, they always thought themselves superior to others, and it was clear from their words that they didn't take Qingyan seriously.

  "I may be a maid, but I only serve one person. In this world, the only one who can make me kneel is my mistress, what are you? I, Qingyan, am a maid with backbone, and I will never yield to power."

  A face with a light smoke-like flush, a determined look on his cheeks, unafraid to raise his chin, clear and bright eyes like a pool of clear water, reflecting the ferocity of others' faces.

  "You...!" Empress Rong was not expecting this little maid to dare speak to her in such a manner, her face turned bright red with anger. She pointed at Qingyan's nose, "If you want to become the third prince's consort, you can't be so unscrupulous! Guards, take this maid away and throw her into the palace prison. I will teach her how to respect her elders and how to be a proper imperial daughter-in-law!"

  When she said the last sentence, Empress Yong gnashed her teeth and had a ferocious expression as if she would have liked to swallow Qingyan whole.

  Now even a little maid dares to look down on her, if she doesn't set an example, from now on, will anyone in this Flowing Gold Nation dare to obey her orders?

  "Yes, Your Ladyship!"

  Several palace maids walked towards the light smoke with clenched fists and palms, their faces twisted in a thousand ways, with sinister glints shining from within their eyes.

  "Want to teach me a lesson? You don't have the qualifications yet!" Qingyan sneered coldly.

  It's true that there are such masters and servants. In more than half a year, Qingyan hasn't learned anything else, but has learned a bit of Yunluo Fang's arrogance.

  She knew she was a maid of Miss, no matter what, she couldn't let Miss lose face, and even more so in front of the enemy.

  Bang!

  Just as these palace maids grabbed Qingyan's arm, a force burst out from within her body, sending the palace maids flying and tumbling to the ground.

  The Empress Dowager's expression stiffened slightly, she hadn't expected that Qingyan, as a maid, actually had cultivation! No wonder Ye Ling didn't treat her like an ordinary maid.

  Unfortunately, a maid is just a maid, and no matter what, she can't change her fate of serving others.

  "You stinky girl, if you want to be the concubine of the Third Prince, you must get my approval first! You are so ignorant of etiquette, I will now go into the palace and report this matter to His Majesty, making it impossible for you to spend your life with that little rascal Ye Ling!"

  Qingyan disdainfully glanced at Rong Huanghou's pale face and sneered, "I didn't say I wanted to be the third imperial prince consort."

  She likes Ye Ling, not the third prince! If Ye Ling is willing to be a prince, she will be his princess, if he doesn't want to, then she is just his future wife.
