The Queen Mother had no intention of paying attention to Prince Xiao, and she even looked down upon Ye Yaner, who was as soft as a bone and enchanting all day long.
In the past five years, she has never forgotten the use of Chu'er's blood as medicine for Ye Yan'er. If King Xiao hadn't tried to stop her, the Queen Mother would have torn Ye Yan'er to pieces with her own hands!
"The Ai family is going to visit the princess, you can do whatever you want!"
After saying that, he left everyone behind and walked away.
"Your Majesty~" Ye Yan'er bit her lip tightly, her eyes flashing brightly.
There were so many dignitaries and nobles present today, but the Queen Mother was so disrespectful to her, yet she defended Chu Yunning at every turn.
Ye Yaner was filled with hatred.
"Even if Mrs. Chu comes out, I will never let her hurt you again!" Prince Xiao hugged Ye Yan'er to comfort her.
The Queen Mother looked at the rusty door lock, the shabby doorway was filled with dead leaves and dust, and the dense spider webs in front of the door showed that no one had cleaned it for a long time.
"Hurry up and open the door to the Ai family!" the Queen Mother said angrily.
The servant quickly pried open the door, perhaps with too much force. With a bang, the wooden doors on both sides shook and were about to fall to the ground, splashing a lot of dust.
The Queen Mother walked into the courtyard with a cold face. The courtyard was not big, but it was cleaner than she imagined.
The land on the left is planted with green vegetables, peppers, eggplants, cucumbers and beans, which are lush and growing happily.
There are many unknown medicinal herbs planted in the land on the right, and they are neatly tended. It can be seen that a lot of effort has been put into it.
"Who are you?"
A little head emerged from the ground on the left, staring at the Queen Mother with wet eyes. The head was covered with grass and leaves, and there were a few dust marks on its pink and tender face. It stepped out nimbly like a cat.
Stand in front of her.
The Queen Mother looked at the boy's face and was stunned. She felt very friendly inexplicably. She stepped forward with a smile: "I am the Queen Mother, who are you?"
"Queen Mother?" Beibei thought for a while, obviously unfamiliar with this word. He thought the old woman in front of him was named Queen Mother, so he greeted politely: "My name is Chu Beibei."
Chu Beibei.
The Queen Mother regretted that for a moment just now she had imagined whether the child in front of her was Xiao'er's.
After all, Beibei looks a lot like Xiaoer when he was a child.
Beibei stretched his neck and looked around, mysteriously hooking his hands at the Queen Mother, who half-crouched with interest.
Beibei rolled his little hands into the shape of a small trumpet and said in the Queen Mother's ear: "Queen Mother, it would be terrible if you came here quietly and was discovered by Aunt Fang."
"Aunt Fang?"
"Yes, a very fierce old nanny."
Afraid that the other party wouldn't believe him, Beibei pretended to be fierce and put his hands on his waist, imitating Grandma Fang's usual fierce look.
The Queen Mother was amused.
I touched Beibei's head. He looked like he was a little over four years old. He was very cute with a round head, fair complexion, and big black and translucent eyes. He was so cute.
Melted her heart.
"Don't worry, no one will dare to bully you as long as I'm here."
The Queen Mother held Chu Beibei's hand and carefully helped him arrange the green leaves on his shoulders.
"The little bastard sneaked out again and dared to break the door and seek death..."
Grandma Fang drank too much last night and was sleeping soundly, but she was awakened by the sound of the door and came over with a wooden stick in hand.
"No, Grandma Fang is here!" Beibei exclaimed, opening his hands to block the Queen Mother, her little body like an old hen protecting her cubs.
The Queen Mother glanced at Aunt Fang, a fat and strong nun. At first glance, she looked like a bully.
"I'll drag Aunt Fang for a while, and you can run out of the back door. She's too fat and can't catch up with you."
The Queen Mother looked at Beibei standing in front of her, feeling shocked and moved.
"She often bullies you?" the Queen Mother asked.
Beibei Xiaoji nodded vigorously like pecking at rice: "She often steals food, but I'm not afraid of her!"
Nanny Fang has been working in the palace all her life. Although she has never seen the world, she can still tell that the Queen Mother is dressed in an extraordinary way and looks like a noble person. She is not someone she can offend. Her aura immediately weakens, and she throws away the stick and laughs: "Master, don't listen.
This evil creature is talking nonsense, this servant is guarding the sinful concubine at the request of the prince, she is just here to patrol and inspect, and she has never committed any theft."
What's more, there are rules in the house, and anyone who steals will be punished, even if it is a piece of needle and thread, so Aunt Fang cannot admit it.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but get angry when she heard her words about "concubine" and "concubine". "Come here, slap me!"
The guard held down Grandma Fang and fired her bow from left to right. The beating made Grandma Fang wail in pain. After a while, both sides of her face were swollen like a pig's head.
"Dragged it out and sold it."
The Queen Mother gave the order, and Nanny Fang was gagged and dragged away without even having a chance to beg for mercy.
Aunt Fang should feel lucky to be dragged away at this time. After all, the Queen Mother would like to confiscate Aunt Fang's home and exterminate her family.
"Good boy, no grandma will dare to hurt you anymore."
The Queen Mother put away her cold expression and smiled kindly at Beibei.
Beibei was stunned for a moment, unable to comprehend the situation.
After a long time, he raised his head and asked: "Queen Mother, are you very powerful?"
The Queen Mother laughed out loud at Bei Bei's amusement.
"Chu Beibei!"
At this time, Chu Yunning's voice came from the room, rubbing her waist and yawning, didn't she just want to catch up on her sleep, as for making such a big noise?
Chu Yunning was stunned when his yawn got stuck in the middle of his yawn.
She actually saw the Queen Mother?
Rubbing his eyes to make sure he saw it correctly, Chu Yunning's legs softened and he knelt on the ground: "Greetings to the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother looked at her with distress as she was wearing simple clothes and not even a decent jewelry on her head. How could this be the legitimate daughter of the Chu family that she knew?
"Mother!" Chu Beibei ran to Chu Yunning's side.
The queen mother was stunned when she heard the motherly cry, surprised and delighted: "Yun Ning, is this your child?"
She has no intention of hiding Beibei's life experience. After all, anyone who is not blind can see it because of his appearance.
"Yes." Chu Yunning nodded.
The Queen Mother immediately helped Chu Yunning up. It seemed that today's trip was so worthwhile, as she unexpectedly gained a grandson.
She only has two sons, the eldest son is the emperor and has a weird temperament. She has two princesses but no prince yet.
Not to mention the youngest son, Prince Xiao, who doesn’t even have a girl. It’s a pity that she is alone in Cining Palace, looking forward to the stars and the moon, looking forward to having a grandson.
The Queen Mother couldn't bear to look away from Beibei. No wonder she liked Beibei so much at first sight.
It turned out to be his grandson.
Beibei raised his head to look at the Queen Mother. Chu Yunning briefly explained his identity, and Beibei sweetly called out to the Queen Mother.
"Hey!" The Queen Mother was so moved that tears filled her eyes, and she wished she could hold Beibei in her heart.
After the grandfather and grandson Wen Cun, the Queen Mother asked about Chu Yunning's life these years.
The Queen Mother looked at the vegetables and herbs growing in the yard and sighed: "I used to mean not touching the spring water, but now I have learned how to grow vegetables. Yun Ning, you have been wronged."
The corners of Chu Yunning's mouth twitched slightly, were you aggrieved?
Not at all. She usually took care of her children and opened a shop in the city when she had nothing to do. Unexpectedly, her business grew and grew, and she gradually saved a small treasury.
She lived a leisurely life eating well and drinking spicy food. If it hadn't been for the Queen Mother, she would have almost forgotten that she was still in confinement.
Chu Yunning and Beibei were both fat and white, and it was not obvious that they were not well fed or clothed.
She was just used to not going out, so she was too lazy to dress up, so she dressed casually, and she happened to be caught by the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother was angry and distressed, and raised her voice and ordered: "Go and invite Prince Xiao!"
