When Beibei came back from Cihe Palace, he was frightened by the dense crowd of women outside the palace. These women were guarding the entrance of Qingluan Palace like crazy.
"You're not hurt, are you?" Chu Yunning looked Beibei up and down.
Beibei shook his head.
"People outside are here to ask for the secret recipe, so don't pay attention. If they provoke you, you can use the secret weapon."
"good."
For two days in a row, Chu Yunning didn't even go out of the palace. There were too many people outside asking to see her, and some even climbed on the wall. If the guards hadn't quickly noticed and knocked them out, they would all be in now.
It wouldn't work to continue like this. When there were fewer people, Chu Yunning had someone open the palace door.
"Chu Shang Palace!"
"Chu Shang Palace!"
The shouts coming towards her made her ears buzz. It took her a long time to calm down. Chu Yunning said with a cold face: "Have you had enough trouble? I'm warning you, if anyone dares to gather a crowd to make trouble again, I will let her do this."
I will never see the emperor again in my life!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone present fell silent. Everyone looked at each other, but no one was the first to speak.
After waiting for the ears to clear up, Chu Yunning showed an understanding attitude: "I know that everyone really wants to be favored by the emperor and have a cute baby, but there are some things that cannot be rushed. The emperor has a lot of things to do right now.
Now that you have set foot in the harem, you can do whatever you want to do when you go back. I will definitely give everyone a chance to contact the emperor in a fair and just way."
"Really?" The group of people below were all excited.
Chu Yunning stood on the threshold, a lot taller, cleared his throat and said: "I'm here to remind everyone, the emperor likes well-behaved and obedient women the most. How can you be so noisy and unbecoming, the emperor?"
I will also miss my old relationship and give you a chance. As long as you go back and wait slowly, one day it will be your turn."
"But if someone deliberately stirs up trouble and is caught by me, I will never let him off lightly!"
Under the guidance of Chu Yunning Xunxun, all the concubines left willingly, and Qingluan Hall was finally quiet.
"Miss, you are so awesome!" Bixiu gave a thumbs up with a look of admiration.
Beibei also stuck out his head and raised his thumb: "Mom, you can start giving lectures now, you're so awesome!"
Chu Yunning's face turned red with embarrassment after being praised so highly by the two of them. She waved her hands modestly and took Beibei to greet the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother had not seen Chu Yunning for several days. She looked at her thin and slender figure with a distressed look on her face: "Why have you lost weight again? If there is anything bothering you, please tell Aijia."
"The Queen Mother, Ning'er still feels fat." Chu Yunning touched her waist and smiled playfully: "The Queen Mother must be comforting Ning'er and deliberately choosing nice things to say."
The Queen Mother reached out and scratched the tip of Chu Yunning's nose with a doting look on her face: "The Ai family knows that you are helping the queen deal with the harem, and now three more people are pregnant. You are very busy every day. The Ai family heard what Bei Bei said,
You often go back to rest in the middle of the night."
"Emperor Grandma, Mom is really working hard." Beibei looked distressed. He put his head on the Empress Dowager's arms and said in a gentle and coquettish voice, "When will Mom be able to accompany Beibei like before?"
The Queen Mother hugged Beibei distressedly: "Good boy, the Ai family will tell your uncle the emperor not to burden your mother anymore."
"Thank you, Grandma Royal."
Chu Yunning looked at the shadow of Beibei's life in the Queen Mother's Palace. The teacups were replaced with Beibei's favorite daisies, and the snacks were his favorite rose cakes, cherry blossom cakes, and even the smokers in the room.
The fragrance has also become a lot lighter.
There was also a thick wool mat on the couch, and there was a small pillow on it. It looked like it was specially prepared for Beibei.
It is not difficult to see that the Queen Mother really loves Beibei.
The Queen Mother asked Aunt Su to serve Chu Yunning's favorite tea and snacks, and asked casually: "I heard that the emperor is going to have another draft?"
"yes."
"The list of personnel has been drawn up. How many people are there in total? Whose girls are they?"
Chu Yunning answered one by one, and the Queen Mother smiled: "They are all famous ladies in the capital. They are talented and charming. Your Majesty is so lucky, but you are also very busy."
The Queen Mother changed the topic as she spoke: "By the way, how is the Queen's illness?"
"The queen just suffered from an old illness. She will be fine after taking some medicine and taking good care of it." Originally, the queen could recover in three months, but it seems that it will be longer. The concubines in the palace are pregnant one after another, and new people are coming into the palace.
Palace, how can the Queen still have the time to rest quietly?
"It has been really hard for the queen to manage the harem for so many years. Ning'er, you have to take care of yourself and remember not to show off your strength." the queen mother warned.
Chu Yunning nodded and rested for a while with the Queen Mother. Then the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent someone to ask her to arrange a residence for the new mistress.
Chu Yunning stood up to leave, when the Queen Mother suddenly said: "Ning'er, the Ai family doesn't care what agreement you have with the emperor. The Ai family only hopes that the royal family can leave an heir and that the emperor can be healthy."
"Queen Mother, the emperor will definitely live long, and the royal family will definitely leave heirs." Chu Yunning promised.
No matter what method she uses, she will give birth to a little prince in the palace, firstly to stabilize the people's hearts, and secondly to make Emperor Mingwen no longer miss Beibei.
…
There were sixteen people entering the palace this time, and Chu Yunning suddenly saw a familiar face, it was Chu Zhenzhen.
"Sister." Chu Zhenzhen looked at Chu Yunning affectionately, put her hand skillfully on her arm, and said coquettishly, "Before I left, my grandmother gave me many instructions, so I must listen to you.
"
Chu Zhenzhen is the legitimate daughter of the second wife, the youngest daughter of the Lin family, and the only legitimate daughter of the Chu family who has not left the court so far.
"Where's the list of people entering the palace?"
Chu Yunning ignored Chu Zhenzhen and went directly to find the list. She had seen the list, but she had definitely never seen Chu Zhenzhen's name.
One person was crossed out from the list, and the words Chu Zhenzhen were added to the end.
"Chu Shang Palace, this was built by the emperor himself." The young father-in-law noticed Chu Yunning's displeasure and immediately explained.
Chu Yunning gritted her teeth, she was being tricked by Emperor Mingwen again.
"Eldest sister, aren't you happy that I'm entering the palace?" Chu Zhenzhen pursed her lips in displeasure. She didn't care whether anyone was present or not, and directly lost her temper at Chu Yunning: "Eldest sister, my grandmother told you to
Take good care of me, I am representing the face of the Chu family now, and this is what my eldest aunt told me before I left."
Chu Zhenzhen unceremoniously brought out Mrs. Chu as a threat.
Chu Yunning's face suddenly turned cold. This is not a sister. She is just a bomb. Maybe everyone will be killed immediately.
I have been spoiled since I was a child, I have no good intentions at all, and I have a bad temper!
"This is the palace, not the Chu family. Once you enter this door, you can't do whatever you want. Although I am your eldest sister, I am not your capital to do whatever you want!" Chu Yunning rebuked angrily. Sooner or later, he will be offended.
Chu Zhenzhen, it is better to fall out now than to do this.
Chu Zhenzhen was stunned. She didn't expect that Chu Yunning would turn her back on him. Before entering the palace, she was complacent and she would be the first to win the favor.
"Pfft!"
The ridicule behind her made Chu Zhenzhen's little face burn. She wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl in, and stamped her feet: "Chu Yunning, don't forget that you are where you are today because of the Chu family!"
"Come here, take Chu Zhenzhen to me and kneel in the corridor for two hours. Don't get up without my permission!"
When they met, Chu Zhenzhen was so angry that he almost fainted.
Chu Yunning's eyes turned and fell on the other beautiful girls. She was as fierce as an instructor: "I don't care where you come from or what your family status is. From now on, you are all ordinary little masters."
, if I find out that someone is taking advantage of his power to bully others, I will never forgive him lightly!"
Several beautiful women looked at each other, no one was convinced, and most of them looked happy and unconvinced.
Chu Yunning followed the usual rules and asked the nanny to teach the show girls the rules. He also arranged a place for the show girls to live according to their temperament, temperament, and status.
After a long day of work, Chu Yunning could hardly lift his tired arms. On the way back to Qingluan Palace, the maid from Concubine Xia’s Palace came up to her and said, “Chu Shang Palace, Concubine Xiao sent someone to send someone off this afternoon.
The invitation has been sent to the palace, and I will come to see you tomorrow."
Chu Yunning raised her eyebrows: "I know that my concubine has returned to your home."
"yes."
The next morning, Chu Yunning was watching the show girls' progress in learning the rules, when Bixiu suddenly whispered something into Chu Yunning's ear.
"Princess Xiao accidentally pushed Concubine Xia into the river?"
Why does this play look so familiar?
Six years ago, Ye Yan'er also pushed herself into the river to frame her, and then pretended to have a miscarriage, which resulted in her being imprisoned for five years.
"Concubine Xia is still in her confinement. Even though it's summer, she can't help but feel the coldness of the lake." Chu Yunning was secretly stunned. All the women in the palace are super-powerful people who will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
When Chu Yunning arrived, Concubine Xia had already changed out of her wet clothes, leaning against the palace maid's arms with a pale face, shivering from the cold.
It was really hard work to risk everything for a prescription! Chu Yunning was almost moved.
"Your Majesty, I was wronged. I did not accidentally push you." Li Shanshan slumped on the ground and couldn't help covering her face and crying. The makeup on her small face had long been stained, and her hair was slightly messy.
scared.
Chu Yunning looked at Li Shanshan condescendingly, trying to cause trouble by leaving the well-behaved Princess Xiao alone.
I really don’t know what’s going on in my head!
"Princess Xiao, this servant clearly saw you pushing the concubine when she wasn't paying attention. How can you deny it?" The palace maid insisted that it was Princess Xiao who pushed her.
Li Shanshan shook her head repeatedly. She didn't understand how Concubine Xia fell into the water.
"Chu Shanggong, please show the imperial concubine quickly." The palace maid stepped out of the way and led Chu Yunning a few steps forward.
Chu Yunning took Concubine Xia's pulse.
"I feel the pain in my heart is unbearable, and my lower body is also very uncomfortable. Chu Shang Palace, what's wrong with me?" Concubine Xia pretended to be very weak.
Seeing this, Chu Yunning wisely said that Concubine Xia's condition was serious, and Li Shanshan was so frightened that she didn't know how to speak.
"My dear concubine, I am not far away. I saw with my own eyes that the princess did not reach out her hand. You must have accidentally dropped it."
Prince Xiao did not know when he appeared behind him and hurriedly defended Li Shanshan. Seeing the patron coming, Li Shanshan was very excited: "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me. I am really innocent. There is no injustice between me and the imperial concubine."
Why did Wuqiu push her?"
Li Shanshan couldn't figure out why the imperial concubine wanted to harm her. Aren't the two of them allies?
"Chu Yunning, is Concubine Xia okay?" Prince Xiao looked at Chu Yunning with cold eyes, trying to threaten her.
It just so happened that Chu Yunning didn't accept this trick.
"Concubine Xia has just lost her child, and she is very weak. She is not as good as ordinary people. This time, Concubine Xia was seriously injured!"
Chu Yunning bit the word "very serious" tightly.
"Chu Yunning, when did you open your eyes and tell lies!" King Xiao was displeased. Although he didn't like Li Shanshan, Li Shanshan was Princess Xiao after all, and she was also his face. For the sake of Prince Xiao's palace, Prince Xiao had to speak out to defend her.
.
When Prince Xiao passed by the lake just now, he saw with his own eyes that Concubine Xia jumped into the lake by herself. At that time, he still felt very strange. Why Concubine Xia couldn't figure it out? Could it be because she lost her child?
"What evidence does King Xiao have to prove that what you are telling is the truth and what I am telling lies is a lie?" Chu Yunning had no good impression of King Xiao as always: "According to King Xiao's thinking, Concubine Ye six years ago should be Ye
The princess accidentally fell into the water, and I happened to be right next to her, so how could I be the one who pushed her?"
Prince Xiao suddenly choked and his face turned pale.
"Your Majesty, the concubine and the princess have no grievances. How could they accuse the princess unjustly? The princess must have accidentally pushed the concubine."
"Don't talk nonsense, I am not!" Li Shanshan got angry when she saw Chu Yunning, and wanted to jump up and skin her off.
Seeing Li Shanshan jumping up and down like a shrew, Prince Xiao looked very ugly. He grabbed her hand and shouted, "Have you had enough?"
"Your Majesty, the two of them must have joined forces to deliberately harm me!" Li Shanshan pointed at the two of them. Although there was no evidence, she knew that the two of them were working together.
Concubine Xia clutched her heart tightly: "Here comes someone, go and invite the emperor."
"Mom, calm down, I believe the emperor will definitely make the decision for you. After all, you have hurt yourself and the emperor will feel sorry for you." Chu Yunning advised.
While waiting for Emperor Mingwen, Prince Xiao's eyes were locked on Chu Yunning. She was wearing a bright blue palace dress with only a few simple silver hairpins on her temples. Although she was dressed simply, she had an imposing manner.
Hard to ignore.
It's still the same face, but Prince Xiao just feels like he's not the same person anymore.
"Chu Shanggong, you are shameless!" When Li Shanshan saw this scene, she went crazy on the spot and yelled at Chu Yunning.
Chu Yunning was stunned. She didn't expect Li Shanshan to be so jealous. This is definitely a disease!
"This is the palace, please calm down!" Li Shanshan, who was angry with Prince Xiao, roared angrily, which made Li Shanshan shrink her neck and take two steps back.
Chu Yunning couldn't laugh or cry. He was obviously here to solve the problem of Li Shanshan pushing Concubine Xia into the water, but instead, Li Shanshan turned against her.
Regardless of her impression of Prince Xiao, at this moment, Chu Yunning felt very sympathetic to Prince Xiao.
"Prince Xiao, you also saw that Princess Xiao was unconscious and biting everyone she saw. She might have been sick just now, so she pushed me into the water. You must give me an explanation today!" Concubine Xia took advantage of every opportunity and quickly
