Early the next morning, Chu Yunning just woke up. After dressing up, she found that Beibei was gone. Bi Xiu said, "The Queen Mother sent someone to pick up the little prince."
"So early?" Chu Yunning was surprised.
After thinking about it, Chu Yunning also went to Cihe Palace. She came to Cihe Palace many times, and Aunt Zhang was particularly kind when she saw her: "Thank you Chu Shang Palace for the plaster a few days ago. My slave's sleep has improved in the past few days."
There are a lot of people, people are energetic, and their arms and legs are stronger."
"Auntie, you're welcome. If you need anything, just come to me."
Aunt Zhang was the dowry of the Queen Mother. She stayed with the Queen Mother all her life and was never married. She was usually very kind to her and Beibei. So when she saw that Aunt Zhang had gout in her legs and feet and had trouble sleeping at night, she went back to make some plasters and gave them to her.
Came over.
"whee!"
Beibei's laughter came from the hall, and Chu Yunning looked over: "Beibei didn't disturb the Queen Mother's rest, did she?"
"What's wrong with Chu Shang Palace? It's too late for the Queen Mother to like the young prince. Why bother? Since the young prince lives in the palace, the queen mother has been looking forward to the young prince coming to pay his respects every day. Even her appetite has improved."
Chu Yunning wrote some recipes for the Cihe Palace kitchen. The Queen Mother ate well and her complexion improved visibly.
At this time, it was heard from outside the palace that Prince Xiao and his wife came to invite An to offer tea.
After a while, Prince Xiao came with Princess Xiao, and Chu Yunning turned around and wanted to leave, subconsciously not wanting to see the two of them.
"What are you hiding from when you see me here?"
King Xiao saw Chu Yunning all the way away and couldn't help but sneer: "What kind of tricks are you waiting for here so early in the morning?"
Yesterday, King Xiao drank too much in the middle of the night and went to Danqiongyuan in a dry mood. There was still the smell of Chu Yunning's life there, a smell that belonged to her. It felt inexplicably reassuring to smell it.
But yesterday he found that the house was empty, and nothing about Chu Yunning was left. Wang Xiao was so angry that he asked someone to ask, only to learn that Chu Yunning packed five big boxes and left. He was really cruel.
!
"Prince Xiao, Princess Xiao." Chu Yunning bowed lightly and cursed secretly for bad luck, seeing two plague gods early in the morning.
"This is Chu Shanggong. It looks really beautiful." Li Shanshan was wearing a very festive red palace dress and she was nestled in the arms of Prince Xiao. For a moment, Chu Yunning thought it was Ye Yan'er who had come back to life.
.
The dignified Princess Xiao was so frivolous in public, and her behavior made people unhappy. I don't know how Li Shangshu's minister raised her.
She didn't believe that Li Shanshan could say anything good, and sure enough, the next second she heard the other party say: "
Before I saw her, I was still thinking about what kind of beauty could be so arrogant that even the prince could not look down on her. Now that I have seen her, she is beautiful, but after all, she is older and has given birth to two children.
Identity is nothing more than that."
Chu Yunning squinted at Li Shanshan: "If I hadn't made room for Princess Xiao for you, you would have knelt down to offer tea to me today."
Li Shanshan's face changed slightly, she was the princess who was carried in in a sedan chair with eight carriages!
"Also, don't forget that there is Princess Xiao above you. Although she is gone, the imperial edict is still there, and you are just a stepmother to fill the house!"
She is not a soft persimmon who can be manipulated by others, especially if she has never provoked the other person before. She will not get into trouble!
"Your Majesty!" Li Shanshan's eyes turned red, her mouth was pouted with an aggrieved look on her face, and she grabbed Prince Xiao's elbow to make the decision.
Prince Xiao looked a little impatient and looked outside: "It's getting late, it's time to enter the palace and serve tea to the queen."
Not getting support, Li Shanshan followed Prince Xiao angrily and walked inside.
The Queen Mother at the head had long heard the noise outside, and immediately became very unhappy with Li Shanshan. She held Beibei on her knees and said something. She even ignored Li Shanshan when she knelt down with tea in hand to say goodbye.
Li Shanshan knelt awkwardly on the ground holding her tea for a long time, her face flushed, and she looked at Prince Xiao aggrievedly.
"Queen Mother..." As soon as Prince Xiao spoke, the Queen Mother slowly took the teacup and placed it on the table without even opening the lid: "Aunt Zhang!"
Aunt Zhang took out the congratulatory gifts she had prepared long ago, including a ruler, a jade bracelet of excellent quality, and a set of pure gold jewelry.
Li Shanshan almost cried when she saw the ruler.
"Since you are Princess Xiao, you must be careful with your words and deeds in the future, and do not bring disgrace on Prince Xiao's face." The Queen Mother said earnestly, but her eyes were fixed on Chu Yunning, secretly feeling that it was a pity, what can I say about a good marriage?
It's gone as soon as it's gone.
"Yes, my daughter-in-law obeys the decree." Li Shanshan did not dare to breathe in front of the Queen Mother, and listened silently to the scolding.
"Ning'er, come and sit here at Ai's house." The Queen Mother waved to Chu Yunning, motioning for her to sit next to her, and specially made a place for her.
Chu Yunning had no choice but to sit next to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, how have you slept these past two days? Have you had any headaches again?"
The Queen Mother seemed to be the same person as before, smiling from ear to ear: "You are still filial. The Ai family has been much more comfortable these past two days. It's a pity that some people are not lucky."
Every time she mentioned this, the Queen Mother felt panicked in her heart. She even hated the fact that iron is not as good as steel. Why didn't Prince Xiao cherish such a good daughter-in-law?
"Queen Mother, isn't Ning'er accompanying you every day?" Chu Yunning coaxed the Queen Mother as if comforting a child.
The two started chatting, but they didn't pay attention to Li Shanshan at all. They didn't even save lunch and sent Li Shanshan directly to pay greetings to the queen.
As soon as they left, the Queen Mother asked: "How have you relieved your anger?"
Chu Yunning didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She accepted this sentiment, so she nodded heavily: "It's very relieved. Thank you Queen Mother."
"Why are you so polite to the Ai family? The Ai family can't stand Xiaoli's stingy behavior."
The Queen Mother had originally prepared other congratulatory gifts, and was worried that Li Shanshan would be wronged, so she prepared a few words of comfort. However, she did not expect that Li Shanshan would provoke her when she entered the palace, which directly made the Queen Mother lose all good impressions of her.
Therefore, the Queen Mother temporarily asked Aunt Zhang to exchange the congratulatory gifts, and did not forget to hammer a few words, such a stingy person who cannot stand up to the stage is not worthy of being Princess Xiao.
The Queen Mother seemed to have thought of something, and turned to Aunt Zhang and ordered: "Select a nurturing aunt and send her to Prince Xiao's Mansion later, and ask her to teach Princess Xiao the rules."
"yes!"
Seeing that the Queen Mother was very angry, Chu Yunning blinked at Bei Bei, and Beibei immediately used his housekeeping skills to coax the Queen Mother into laughing.
After the laughter, the Queen Mother asked Aunt Zhang to take Beibei out to play. Chu Yunning knew that the Queen Mother had something to talk to alone.
"Royal Grandmother, Beibei will be back in a moment. You can accompany Beibei to learn painting."
"Okay!" The Queen Mother agreed with a smile, watched Beibei leave, and turned to look at Chu Yunning: "Ning'er, tell the Ai family whether Concubine Xia's pregnancy can be saved?"
At this moment, the Queen Mother was like a lonely and helpless elder, staring at her expectantly.
