  "Since you thought this, then why did you refuse her when she asked for the ointment for Li Caihong? Were you not afraid that they can still spread this rumor and use it to damage your reputation?"

"I just didn't want to accept her wish at that time."

Li Rui answered Xi Ying's question after a moment.

"I didn't want to give that ointment to Li Caihong when she had already thrown one away. Since she doesn't appreciate my efforts, I won't make any for her."

Those ointments took a lot of time of Li Rui and since she was pregnant, she had not even prepared a single bottle of that ointment.

And hence she didn't have that many bottles already.

Even XiYing knew that this ointment was a special product in the business that was managed by Yi Junjie and Li Rui.

People are ready to pay a huge price or sacrifice anything just for one bottle and Li Caihong threw it away just like that.

Xi Ying smiled hearing this.

"And I want you to stay like that."

Seeing Li Rui's startled face, he continued

"I want you to do what your heart says even if for that you need to offend the Emperor himself….it doesn't matter at all. I can assure you that no one in the Imperial City would dare say anything against me or Xi Clan and if they dared to say anything against you then I would just make them see the truth and regret speaking against my wife."

Kissing the back of the hand that was held by him, Xi Ying looked into Li Rui's eyes and told her

"So Rui, just do whatever you want. Your husband is here to manage everything."

And Li Rui's heartbeat quickened again but this time there was also some peace and warmth there.

Was it because someone told her for the first time that she could be willful?

The night was long but very peaceful and comforting for them.

This was perhaps the first time Xi Ying and Li Rui finally learned to solve their misunderstandings without hurting each other more and more.

(Next Morning)

Xinhe Palace, Lantai Courtyard

Yi Huiqing stepped out of her chambers and walked towards the outer hall of her courtyard with her maid following her.

A moment later, she was seated in front of the group of concubines who had come to greet her.

"Greetings to Wangfei."

The concubines who were already standing since the moment, Yi Huiqing entered greeted Yi Huiqing respectfully.

"Younger sister can take their seats."

Yi Huiqing said politely and all the concubines did as she said.

Tea and snacks were already served in front of everyone, however, today every concubine was interested in something else.

"So, Concubine Shaolin finally got the time to come to Lantai Courtyard and greet Wangfei."

Concubine Lin said as she looked in Concubine Shaolin's direction with a sweet smile on her lips.

However, the smile from her lips vanished when she saw the same smile on Concubine Shaolin at her words.

She had not expected that Shaolin would smile at her words that too so sweetly. What she had expected from her was to get angry and then shout like a shrewd woman from the village.

However, none of this seemed to go as she had predicted.

Concubine Lin really regretted what she said to Shaolin when Shaolin answered her provoking words with a sweet smile and blush on her face.

"Does Concubine Lin not know that I was allowed by Wangfei herself for this. After all, I have been taking care of Wangye these two days."

Concubine Lin looked away from Concubine Shaolin's smiling face.

Her heart was filled with anger and her fists were clenched tightly.

She, of course, knew this and that's why she had not been able to rest for these two days peacefully.

How could Shaolin get such a good opportunity and not her!

Concubine Lin couldn't accept this and hence she wanted to humiliate Concubine Shaolin.

However, she had not expected that Concubine Shaolin, who didn't even know-how, what, when, and where to speak, would give her a response like this.

Now, what was she supposed to say?

As Concubine Lin pondered over this question, she heard Concubine Xin speaking and she couldn't help but sigh in relief.

"So, Concubine Shaolin finally did have her first night with wangye…or not?"

The outer hall went silent at this question. Such a straightforward question could only be asked by Concubine Xin but every concubine looked forward to the answer.

Concubine Shaolin's smile also vanished and the kind of face she had at this moment gave everyone their answer.

"So, you still have not done it…"

Concubine Xin placed her hand on her lips as she laughed quietly but her laugh could still be heard by everyone.

Everyone watched this scene with interest while Concubine Shaolin felt very humiliated under everyone's gaze.

"Stop it, now."

Yi Huiqing said coldly and Concubine Xin stopped laughing immediately.

All other concubines also didn't dare to laugh anymore.

Concubine Shaolin, however, didn't appreciate Yi Huiqing's actions at all. Now she was trying to look great by stopping Concubine Xin when had already humiliated her (Concubine Xin).

However, Shaolin didn't think that she had never behaved respectfully with Yi Huiqing that could make the latter put some effort in protecting her like Yi Huiqing does in every other concubine's case.

She would never let any concubine look down on other concubines as long as they were in front of her and she would have helped Shaolin too if Shaolin had not spoken against her in the past and disrespected her in front of everyone.

Now Yi Huiqing was also not a saint and hence she was evil in Shaolin's eyes.

And since she had observed how much Zhao Zhang Wei liked her, her hatred for Yi Huiqing was there regardless of how much Yi Huiqing helped her.

"Thanking Wangfei for speaking out for this concubine."

Shaolin spoke with a sarcastic smile on her lips. Everyone could see that she didn't really mean what she was saying.

After that, with a furious face, she stood up from her seat and left from there angrily.
