The first thousand five hundred and sixty-nine chapters are them!
Ziqing and Wu Peiya looked at each other, both hesitated and said nothing.
Xie Yao noticed their hesitation and was just about to shut out all the servants and let them speak freely when suddenly there were footsteps and voices outside the courtyard.
"Hurry up! Now that the Queen is awake, the two girls must be busy preparing now. If they are not here, let's play with the princes and princesses for a while." A middle-aged woman's voice sounded, and there was still a hint of anger.
Happy.
Immediately afterwards, three people appeared outside the courtyard gate.
A nun walked in the front, and two young father-in-laws followed behind, each holding a basket full of toys.
When the three of them saw that not only Zi Qing and Wu Peiya were in the yard, but also Xie Yao, they all stopped in a daze and stopped moving forward!
The nun was the first to come to her senses. She quickly walked a few steps and came to Xie Yao to salute and say hello, "I have seen the Queen! May the Queen be safe!"
The two father-in-laws also came over and knelt down to salute.
Xie Yao glanced at the three of them, and out of the corner of her eye noticed that Zi Qing and Wu Peiya looked at the nanny with cold eyes, showing disgust and caution.
"Pingshen, which palace are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?" Xie Yao's voice was so calm that no emotion or anger could be heard.
"Thank you, the Queen. I want to tell you that the slaves are from the Palace of the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine is thinking about the three princes and princesses in her heart, so she ordered the slaves to prepare some toys from time to time to make the princes and princesses happy." Mammy said.
The attitude was very respectful.
"What are your names?" Xie Yao asked expressionlessly.
Someone who respects the concubine?
"Slave and sweet nanny."
"Slave Xiao Shengzi."
"Slave Xiaoluzi."
Xie Yao glanced at the basket containing the toys and asked emotionlessly, "Why are there only two of each kind of toys instead of three?"
There are nearly ten kinds of toys in the basket, but there are only two of each kind of toys, without exception.
"This is what the concubine ordered. There are too many toys. You don't need to prepare three of each kind, so that the princes and princesses can be more interested in the toys." Aunt Chun replied respectfully.
Xie Yao didn't speak again, thinking about something in her heart.
Chu Cheng's actions just now when he pushed Chu Shu and Chu Qin away without hesitation should have been the same as when they were trying to grab a toy.
There are only two of each kind of toy. As long as three little guys want the same toy, someone will not be able to get it, or they will not be able to grab it.
That's what Chu Cheng calls "first come, first served".
No wonder the three little guys became a little selfish after she had only been away for a few months.
Judging from what Aunt Chun said before she came in, and judging from the wary looks in Ziqing and Wu Peiya's eyes towards Aunt Chun and others, she could be sure that the three of them did this intentionally.
As for what they said was the order given by Concubine Jing...
It seems that I have to go to Jinghe Palace if I have time.
Only two of each kind of toys are prepared, which makes no sense either emotionally or rationally.
She believed that Concubine Jing would not take the initiative to harm the three little guys, but the three little guys' minds had undergone subtle changes.
Seeing that the Queen had not spoken for a long time, Aunt Chun and others felt more and more guilty. They also saw Ziqing and Wu Peiya kneeling here for a long time. They secretly thought that these two girls must have complained. They rolled their eyes and said quickly: "
I would like to inform you, the Queen, that every word spoken by this servant is the truth and there is absolutely no lies. Please understand carefully, the Queen!"
"Yes! Everything my slave said is true!" The two father-in-laws also noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere and kept saying.
"What did I see clearly? What wrong things did you do?" Xie Yao raised her eyebrows and her voice was low.
"No! No! The slaves and others did nothing wrong!" Grandma Chun lay on the ground.
"Since you have done nothing wrong, then get up and go back. Just put down the toys that the concubine sent you. I am here, so you can leave." After Xie Yao finished speaking, she raised her hand and stopped looking.
them.
Zi Qing's eyes tightened and she was about to speak subconsciously, but Wu Peiya stopped her and shook her head vigorously.
Xie Yao pretended not to see their actions and said nothing.
When Grandma Chun heard this, she immediately kowtowed and thanked her, and walked away quickly, as if she would not be able to walk if she walked slower.
After they left, Xie Yao waved away the surrounding palace people, and then looked at Zi Qing, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Empress Qi, it's the three of them!" Ziqing said immediately and said angrily: "Since you and the emperor left, they often came to play with the princes and princesses at the behest of the empress dowager. We didn't pay attention at first.
But I found out that they only brought two toys every time, no more and no less, so I became suspicious."
"Later, the princes and princesses began to snatch toys, so we became alert and stopped them from meeting the princes and princesses, using all kinds of excuses. After all, they are the princess's people, so we can't stop them forcefully."
"Even so, they came here while we were away. Xiaoya and I can only divide the work and take turns to guard here, each for twelve hours. I know that the empress is awake, and she just wanted to go out to find you again!"
After saying this, not only Zi Qing's eyes were filled with coldness and wariness, but even Wu Peiya's face was full of anger, "Mother, they are simply..."
The words were on her lips, but she still didn't dare to say them out. The person was sent by the Crown Princess!
Xie Yao raised her hand to stop Wu Peiya, and said softly, "I understand, I understand everything. You don't need to tell anyone about this matter, I have my own way to handle it."
No wonder Ziqing and Wu Peiya are so haggard, they would stay here all day and night without rest!
No matter what the reason for this situation, now that she is back, everything ends here.
As for the reason behind it, she will figure it out.
"Please pass on the order. The weather has been unstable recently and the princes and princesses are weak. No one should disturb them in case they accidentally catch the cold." Xie Yao spoke directly in a loud voice and gave her first order after returning.
Ziqing and Wu Peiya were overjoyed at the same time, great!
But Wu Peiya was a little worried immediately. After all, the Queen had just driven Aunt Chun and others back, and then issued this order, which was somewhat aimed at the Crown Princess.
"Empress..."
"No need to say more, I have my own sense of discretion." Xie Yao understood the pros and cons, but she also understood that no one can intentionally hurt her child!
If there is, no matter who the opponent is, she will fight to the end!
The order spread quickly, and almost everyone understood what the queen meant by this order.
Because during these days, except for people from Jinghe Palace who visited the princes and princesses, no one brought toys to Fengyi Palace.
Xie Yao learned about the situation of Fengyi Palace again, and after making arrangements for a while, he left Fengyi Palace directly.
The habits of the three little ones have been formed, and she can slowly change them. This is a process that no one can rush. What is needed is patience and time.
So she was not in a hurry to find out what was behind it.
The top priority, in addition to waking up Chu Han, is to deal with Ling Yu and the others first.
After all, Ling Yu still has a lot of energy in his body.
She could have beaten Ling Yu violently, leaving him unable to fight back, but that state was beyond her control.
She couldn't let the danger stay in the palace of Wanqi Kingdom.
