Yun Zhao asked several other people, and after learning that Ming Ming's works were really famous and rare, and that they were hard to find, he took them out and stuffed them into the box.

Naturally, she couldn't just send a wooden sculpture to the emperor.

After searching in several warehouses for a long time and unable to find any suitable ones, Yun Zhao looked for the birthday gift for the Queen Mother.

She was torn between the two landscape paintings, then looked at the Ten Thousand Buddhas Clothes in front of her, and asked, "The Queen Mother worships Buddha all year round, is it better to choose the Ten Thousand Buddhas Clothes?"

Qiuyue told the truth, "Although the Queen Mother worships Buddha, she only does it for show."

Yun Zhao: "?"

Qiuyue: "Compared to the Ten Thousand Buddhas' Clothes, I'm afraid the Queen Mother prefers the box of gems in the Crown Princess's hand."

Yun Zhao: "...then give them all away."

Even if she gave her a piece of Ten Thousand Buddha Clothing, in front of everyone, she couldn't find anything wrong with her.

It's just that the emperor needs to think more about it. Even if a wooden sculpture is worth a lot of money, it is still a little light.

Yun Zhao took a few things and asked someone to put them away so that she would not forget them.

Then her legs became numb from squatting for a long time, so she started walking back and forth.

As he walked, Yun Zhao suddenly realized a very serious problem.

"For this birthday, I want to give two gifts. When the real birthday comes, do I have to give them again?"

Qiuyue was stunned for a moment, then said, "That's it."

After all, when the actual birthday comes, although it won’t be a big event, it will still be lively.

It wouldn't be good if you don't give anything.

Yun Zhao's heart ached because of the loss, and he thought he was doing this for his birthday. He actually wanted to receive two birthday gifts, right?

A few days later, Yun Zhao went to the queen's place and finally ordered a gift.

The Queen Mother had a box of gems and Ten Thousand Buddha Clothes, while the Emperor had wood carvings and an emerald screen.

Yun Zhao first moved the screen to the queen. The queen looked at it and said, "This is carved out of one piece, which is rare."

Yun Zhao nodded, "It's a whole piece. I think my father will like it."

The queen's eyes fell on the peacock carved on the emerald screen, and she said softly, "It's a pity."

After having lunch here, Yun Zhao took them one by one to the Queen Mother's house.

The Queen Mother had been tortured by the Eighth Prince, but now her expression changed when she saw the child.

Fortunately, she didn't hear the child crying during the whole process, so she could not sincerely praise her when we parted, "Yiyi is indeed sensible. He was able to stay here with me without crying or fussing at all."

Yun Zhao had heard about the Eighth Prince's troubles with the Queen Mother, and it was hard to talk to him at this time, so he smiled and held Yi Yi's hand and left.

I met Concubine Ping on the road, and Concubine Ping also took the eighth prince with her.

Nowadays, Concubine Ping is in a good mood. When she first learned that the emperor's assassination involved the Chu royal family, she was so frightened that her heart trembled. However, the emperor gave her a guarantee, saying that he believed there must be someone deliberately instigating her behind the scenes.

Regardless of whether the person behind it was related to the Chu royal family or not, Concubine Ping was relieved.

Now that she was relieved, she focused on the two things of inviting a favor and taking care of the eighth prince.

So she was living quite comfortably these days, but now that she saw Yun Zhao, she couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied.

But she still has reason and knows what should be done and what should not be done.

So he stepped forward and said hello, then pushed the eighth prince forward, "The two children are about the same age, so they should play together more often."

The Eighth Prince had a naughty temperament, so he was taught seriously by Concubine Ping for a period of time, and he corrected himself a lot.

At this time, An will also be asked to salute.

Yun Zhao excused himself to something else and left first.

Concubine Ping turned around and looked at Yun Zhao's leaving figure with a faint look in her eyes.

She couldn't understand how they were all princesses, how could one of them be so superior, yet she had to compromise.

Yun Zhao's situation in the past was clearly not much better than hers.

Why is the ending different?

She also has no energy for calculation. With her position as concubine, confronting the crown princess is equivalent to confronting the prince. This is tantamount to striking an egg against a stone.

So it's better to avoid it.

Furthermore, she now has an eighth prince under her knees, so she will not be sad no matter what happens in the future.

It's just that...the eighth prince has a biological mother after all.

Concubine Ping fell into deep thought and quickly took the eighth prince to Cuiwei Palace.

Wanmei didn't welcome Concubine Ping at first, but after Concubine Ping deliberately made friends with her, she relaxed her mind.

Probably because Concubine Ping was once a noble princess, but now she wants to please her, and she feels very happy about this.

Faced with Wan Meiren's difficulties, Concubine Ping just ignored her.

She also discovered that Wanmei really didn't have much of a motherly heart towards the Eighth Prince. Seeing that Wanmei took the unidentified piece of meat in her belly so seriously, Concubine Ping couldn't help but sneer.

Wanmei cannot be allowed to give birth to this child, or in other words, Wanmei cannot be allowed to survive.

Concubine Ping was not the only one to think so. Many concubines in the harem who were about the same age as Concubine Ping also thought so.

As the emperor grew older, the more beautiful women he loved, the less they loved him.

No one knows what will happen to these concubines when the emperor dies.

After all, the outcome of having children is better than those without children.

Therefore, many people are thinking about the child in Wanmei's belly.

Yun Zhao returned to the East Palace, rubbed his eyebrows and listened to Qiu Yue talking about the funeral of the fourth princess.

"It's not a big deal because His Majesty's birthday is coming soon."

Yun Zhao forgot about this incident and asked, "How is the third princess?"

Qiuyue: "I fainted from crying many times...and later became ill."

Qiuyue looked at Yun Zhao again and said hesitantly, "The third princess is not simple. Princess, should we expose this matter?"

Yun Zhao shook his head, "No."

Qiuyue also warned her, and when she saw that Yun Zhao was not going to interfere, she nodded, "There is another lady coming to see you tomorrow."

Yun Zhao took off his bun, loosened his scalp, and combed it with a sandalwood comb.

"When they enter the palace, they also want to see the queen mother. Why don't they go to the queen mother's place? If they come over, invite them there too."

Early the next morning, Yun Zhao watched the man go out, waiting for Xiao Yandi to wave a wooden sword in the yard, and take the man to Yongning Palace two-quarters of an hour later.

On the way, Yun Zhao touched his son's hand and looked down and found that it was quite red, probably from swinging the sword just now.

Lin Guiren was chatting with two beauties. When he saw Yun Zhao, he shouted.

Yun Zhao saw that it was still early, so he stayed and talked.

Since the children were there, the few of them only talked about the latest fashionable things in Lan Jing.

A beauty was very excited, "The shape of a lotus was painted on her forehead, and the ends of her eyes were smeared with rouge as if she was about to cry. It's really beautiful."

"What's this? I heard that many women outside have streamers on their dresses. When the wind blows, they look like they are floating in the air. They are very beautiful."

…

Seeing that the time was almost up, Yun Zhao stood up and said goodbye to a few people.

The two beauties looked at Yun Zhao's leaving figure and couldn't help but say to Lin Guiren, "This princess is easy to get along with, and she doesn't look down on us."
