Aunt Yan then smiled and took out two gifts, "This jade Buddha was chosen by the prince for you. It is said to have no flaws at all. It is a pity that it is a Buddha statue, but I brought it back because it is said to be efficacious for both gods and Buddhas."

This calligraphy and painting was found by Master Ding from a salt merchant who ransacked his house. He said it was very good and worth appreciating, so I brought it to you to play with."

The Queen Mother couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, "She's from a salt merchant's house. She didn't even pay a penny. It's really easy."

Grandma Yan immediately burst into laughter, "There is also a piece of music music that she found. Master Ding said, it doesn't matter where things come from, the key is to find them carefully."

The Queen Mother curled her lips in disgust, but quickly took her hand, "Forget it, I won't argue with this junior, it seems I'm being stingy."

"Your Majesty, when I came back this time, I heard that Master Ding fought tooth and nail to protect the crown prince. He is indeed very loyal."

"Well, go and ask the Crown Princess to come over. I'll give it a beating so that the girl won't be found guilty of another crime in the future."

"Yes, by the way, the Crown Princess has been summoning Wang Qin frequently. I wonder if she wants to seize the son."

Aunt Yan felt that there were some things that she had to talk to the Queen Mother about. The main reason was that the Crown Princess had such a bad temper that no one took her seriously. She also looked like you are all cowards.

"Hey! Don't say that my grandson is annoying him. The Ai family is already annoyed by her annoying behavior. Why does she always make trouble for me?"

The Queen Mother also annoyed her. She had no sense of proportion, was arrogant, and had high ambitions but low ambitions.

"Yes, I will call the princess right away."

"Go ahead."

After a while, the Crown Princess came over and knelt in the inner hall. The Queen Mother was reading the piano score given by Huilan. She did not wake up or pay attention to her, and just let her kneel like this.

The Crown Princess pursed her lips and felt aggrieved. The royal family used its power to bully others, which wasted all my hard work and sincerity.

"Do you know why you are being punished? But the Aijia's asking is in vain. You must not be convinced."

The Queen Mother chuckled, not surprised by her reaction. She still didn't seem to understand. She could see everything clearly from a high position.

"I don't understand, it's obvious...why is only Dong Gong the one who is wronged? I don't accept it!"

The Queen Mother just glanced at her indifferently and said, "What right do you have to be dissatisfied? That is the emperor's biological son. The emperor not only has a son, the prince. When it comes to this, you still insist on death. The Ai family can only wish you the best in the future."

Everything went smoothly.

You go back. Don't mention this matter again. If you mention the Ai family again, I will ask the emperor to kill your father and brother. The prince does not need a loud-mouthed princess who always causes trouble. The death of one of his legitimate wives is not a big deal. At most, he can marry another one.

"

Having already said this, it means that the Queen Mother will no longer meddle in her business, let alone give any advice.

The Crown Princess looked at the Queen Mother in disbelief, feeling that her sincerity had been wasted. She responded with red eyes in aggrieved tone, "I remember, I remember."

If you don't mention it, you will think that I don't care about your Li family's business. I am unlucky to have married an embroidered pillow, and I am a loser.

"You go back."

The Queen Mother shook her head and ignored her.

Zhou Ying stood up, saluted, turned around and left without looking back.

Li Chengze knew that Zhou Ying would only get scolded if she went to Cining Palace, but he didn't want to care about her at all. He only had weights in his mind, and his stubborn temper was in vain.

I was a little tired today, so I didn't call anyone. I took a rest in Yongxin Hall and didn't want to talk to Zhou Ying anymore.

Zhou Ying cried hard after going back. Aunt Qi had not been here since she was sent back to the concubine. Afterwards, she realized that she might have already thought of a way out.

It was the concubine who went to beg the queen mother. She missed her old sisters and hoped that Aunt Qi could come back to her so that she would have someone to talk to. Seeing that Zhou Ying was not going to talk to her, the queen mother simply agreed.

Aunt Qi took advantage of her defeat and walked away without any regrets.

It sounds like we have grown up with each other for several years, but in the end, it is not worth the importance of your own life. People in the palace have many thoughts. If you are not careful, you will lose everything. You don't need a heavy hammer to play the drum, and you will be hit on the head.

If your brain is broken and you can't react, what can your elders do?

The eldest palace maid next to her was also replaced by a beautiful woman. He Xiang died and was sent to the punishment department to be tortured to death. She fell to the ground and shouldered all the charges, just to save her family.

The Zhou family sent a message to Hexiang before she died, saying that her mother-in-law and her brother and nephew could redeem their lives and become good citizens, thus fulfilling the relationship between master and servant.

At least she had a life left. Even though it was harder to be a commoner, the reason why the Zhou family didn't do everything right was because her family didn't know anything.

The people closest to her were gone and died, and Zhou Ying almost fell into despair. However, her mother couldn't bear to give up her daughter, so she comforted her in every possible way and cheered her up again.

On the second day after the prince returned to the palace, Zhou Ying held a reception banquet and asked all the women in the east palace to come out and ask them to bring all their children with them.

Fortunately, it's already getting hot this season, so it doesn't matter.

Huilan specially dressed up, with a full set of rubellite hair and face, Dongzhu's forehead pendant, a high-waisted Tianshui Bi skirt, and a pink and white gauze narrow-sleeved long jacket as an outer outfit. She looked elegant and elegant.

, without losing the beauty and elegance.

When Huilan arrived, Qian and others had already sat down and talked with their nanny.

"Sister Ding makes peace."

"Hello sisters, please sit down and stop being formal."

Huilan promptly stopped everyone from saluting and greeted them warmly.

"Sister, she looks really good today. It seems that people in the south are nourished by rice."

Qian made harmless jokes.

"The scenery in Yangzhou is very good, and the food is also very good. It's just a little sweet. People like to eat sweet food there, and the snacks are delicious. The humidity is a bit heavy. I guess it will be more uncomfortable in winter. It's not necessarily true for us northerners.

Can you stand the cold and wet over there?"

"What you're talking about is that I heard that the winter in the south is cold and wet. People from the north will probably freeze if they go there."

“Aren’t the jewelry and materials over there particularly beautiful?”

Mrs. Zhang also chimed in.

"Yes, they are more exquisite and beautiful than ours. I will bring back many of them right now. I have your gifts. I will sort them out and send them to you tomorrow. Everyone will have a share."

Huilan chose a lot of good materials and jewelry and took them back to give away. Although they were not made by the emperor, the things from Yangzhou were very fashionable and still worth wearing.

"Ouch! Thank you very much. We won't refuse. We are the big ones."

Mr. Qian winked at Mr. Zhang and others, laughing and teasing.

"You! How are the children these days? Are you sisters in good health? Is there anything interesting happening in the palace?"

Huilan habitually wants to understand the surrounding situation and information first.

"We are very good with the children. You and His Highness are not here, so we are just playing cards in the house for a while. Not long ago, I heard that Empress Li Fei was reprimanded by the Holy Emperor for improper service. It has been a month since

He didn't even enter her palace, and the Queen Mother also called people to give him a scolding, but she couldn't find out what was going on."

Qian covered her mouth with her hand and whispered in Huilan's ear.

"Stop prying around. It's a taboo. It's enough to know a thing or two. Where's the Queen's side?"

"There hasn't been much movement lately. Ma goes to see her once a month but doesn't see any changes."
