"Your Majesty, my energy is limited and I can only raise Bei Bei. If your Majesty feels that your family is weak, I can help you choose some lovely children."

Whoever loves giving birth will give birth to him. She fought hard to give birth to Beibei and almost died.

What's more, the child is the fruit of two people's love. She only hates Prince Xiao and doesn't want to be another burden.

"Auntie!" Ye Yaner looked at the eldest princess.

The eldest princess turned her head and ignored it.

Ye Yaner's heart felt cold at this moment, and she put all her expectations on Prince Xiao.

Prince Xiao pursed his lips tightly and said nothing. He couldn't plead for mercy because he had gone back on his word. Who let Ye Yaner provoke him first?

"Yan'er, three years have passed so quickly."

In desperation, Prince Xiao had to make a choice for Ye Yaner.

Ye Yaner shook her head, gritted her teeth and raised her hand to slap her fair little face.

Three years is too long, and no one can guarantee what will happen if we come back.

She didn't dare to bet on whether King Xiao's heart would change.

Therefore, she must not leave the palace.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Ye Yaner closed her eyes tightly and slapped her face one after another.

After a while, his little face as fair as jade was covered with slap marks, and everyone present shook their heads after seeing it.

Concubine Ye, who has always been noble and decent, is nothing more than this.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Yaner's body was swaying, her hands were almost numb, her mouth was bleeding, her ears were buzzing, and even her breath smelled fishy.

She didn't dare to open her eyes, she didn't want to see everyone laughing.

From a high-ranking woman who was out of reach of everyone, she suddenly fell to become a joke to everyone.

Ye Yan'er now wanted to die, and at the same time she hated Chu Yunning in her heart.

"That's enough, Concubine Ye." Chu Yunning called out at the forty-ninth hour.

Ye Yaner opened her eyes, and her whole little face could no longer be seen.

"That's it. There's no need to fight the rest." Chu Yunning sighed and said helplessly: "I know you are going crazy and can't think about it for the moment, so I don't blame you."

Ye Yaner was so angry that she almost vomited blood. There was only the last one left. It made no difference whether he was beaten or not. Chu Yunning was deliberately trying to spite her.

Under the scrutiny of everyone, Ye Yaner uttered vague words: "Thank you, Princess."

After saying that, Prince Xiao led Ye Yaner out of the eldest princess's mansion.

The farce was over, and Chu Yunning had no point in staying, so he looked for Beibei and left quickly.

"Mom is so powerful!" Beibei gave a thumbs up. He watched this scene from behind the corridor.

A few times he even wanted to rush out, but when he thought of his mother's advice, he held back. He believed that her mother could solve the problem.

"Concubine Ye often bullies mother. If she falls into trouble this time, will she secretly plot against mother?"

Beibei was worried that his mother would suffer because after all, Prince Xiao had always been partial to Ye Yaner.

"Mom will teach you another idiom today: when soldiers come, the water will be blocked and the earth will cover it up."

"What's the meaning?"

"It means..." Chu Yunning explained the source, and he understood it quickly.

When the two returned to the palace, the palace was quiet, and the sounds of the maids and women walking were deliberately lowered.

The atmosphere was extremely depressing.

"Your Majesty!" Ye Yan'er cried hard, half hurt and half angry, her tears couldn't stop flowing.

Normally, Prince Xiao would have shown pity to her, but today Ye Yaner had a pig-headed face and could not clearly see her original charming appearance. It could be described as miserable, and she was even more cautious when she cried.

Prince Xiao really couldn't pity him.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Ye Yan'er kept crying, sobbing and nestling in Xiao Wang's arms. She felt heartbreaking pain when she opened her mouth, and she couldn't control her tears.

So Prince Xiao ran out of patience, comforted him a few words, and casually made an excuse to leave.

As soon as the person left, Ye Yaner's anger couldn't be restrained.

Angrily, she smashed the furnishings in the room to pieces, and the maid stood at the door, not even daring to breathe.

After King Xiao left, he came to Danqiong Garden unknowingly.

"The princess is back?"

The guard replied: "Yes, the princess rushed back within half a stick of incense after the prince returned to the house."

Prince Xiao thought thoughtfully, the princess has also suffered a lot of grievances today.

I don’t know how the princess is doing now.

At this time, the butler happened to come over with a few keys to the accounting room and several account books, and bowed to King Xiao.

"What's this?"

Butler: "Back to your lord, here are the key to the accounting room and the account books for the last three months. The princess said there is no need to send them over at three quarters noon."

Three quarters to noon?

Prince Xiao frowned. If nothing else happened, he should be having dinner in the eldest princess's mansion at this time. Is she so sure that she can make it back?

"What do you mean, princess?"

The chief butler followed the words: "The princess checked the palace's accounts for the past few years overnight and said that the expenses were too high and it was necessary to save money."

"Within one night?" Prince Xiao didn't believe it. Although he didn't care about the accounts, he also knew that the accounts were complicated and needed to be sorted out.

The chief steward nodded and exaggeratedly told Chu Yunning that he had settled two large boxes in one night.

King Xiao was stunned for a moment, then took the key and account book and entered Danqiong Garden.

"Your Majesty..." The butler was overjoyed. Prince Xiao must have gone to find the princess to settle accounts. Maybe Prince Xiao would search again and find something fishy.

When the time came to take back the princess's stewardship rights, the chief steward was beaten twice by Chu Yunning, and he couldn't swallow this breath.

King Xiao entered Danqiong Garden. Unlike usual, there were a few more servants waiting in the yard.

There are several pots of peonies in full bloom placed under the corridor, which are eye-catching.

I don't know when there was a grape trellis in the corner of the yard, with green vines hanging on it, and a small tea table set up under the trellis, which was exquisite and compact.

The main house that was burned has been repaired, and there are no signs of being burned.

Smoke lingered in the backyard, and there was a scent in the air.

Prince Xiao slowed down his pace and felt inexplicably quiet while looking at this scene.

"princess!"

There was a maid shouting in his ear, and Prince Xiao followed the voice and walked over.

Chu Yunning put on a plain white dress, pulled up her hair slightly, rolled up her sleeves and stood in front of the chopping board, pinching the dough skillfully, with a gentle smile on her beautiful face, and her smile was as bright as a flower.

King Xiao was stunned.

"Your Majesty!" Bixiu saluted Prince Xiao.

Chu Yunning came back to her senses and looked along the line of sight, and sure enough she saw Prince Xiao who didn't look very good.

She guessed that she must have come to seek justice for Ye Yaner.

So Chu Yunning winked at Bixiu: "Take Beibei to the backyard to play for a while."

"yes."

When Prince Xiao saw that she was wary of him, his thick eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Princess, this is the account book you want. In the past few years, Concubine Ye has been very serious about her career and has not dared to slack off. All kinds of expenses in the house are strictly controlled. She will never be fooled easily and rashly reduce expenses, so that

When outsiders looked at it, they thought the palace was in decline."

The chief butler took the opportunity to speak, and did not forget to put in a good word for Ye Yan'er.

Chu Yunning suddenly realized that he was looking for trouble to save money.

"Your Majesty, the palace has been in a state of deficit in the past few years. The harvests in the village and the shop can barely sustain it. I think it's inappropriate, so I propose unnecessary expenses. It's not just about saving a certain person."

Chu Yunning's explanation was not approved by the chief steward. Instead, the chief steward seized the loophole in the words and asked: "What does the princess mean, is Concubine Ye enriching herself while being a housekeeper? This is really an injustice to the concubine, prince, concubine."

I would never do that.”

"Since the palace has been handed over to the princess, the princess has the final say in everything." Prince Xiao said.

The chief butler was stunned: "But the concubine..."

"The concubine is in poor health and needs to recuperate. There is no need to disturb the concubine with such trivial matters in the future."
