Zhao Xifang left her parents' home in despair and returned to Prince Yu's Mansion.

Returning to the mansion, I went to pay my respects to Princess Yu. When passing by the garden, I was almost hit by a ball thrown from nowhere.

Zhao Xifang, who was already in a bad mood, looked even worse and asked sharply: "What's going on?"

"Mother, concubine." The eldest princess and eldest son came over and called with their heads lowered.

The maid and mother-in-law who followed the two of them knelt on the ground in fear.

Zhao Xifang became angry when she saw her daughter actually playing with Fang Youting's son, "Why are you with him?"

"Grandma asked me to take my brother to play." The eldest princess whispered.

Zhao Xifang sneered, a flash of resentment flashed in her eyes, damn the old woman, using her legitimate daughter to step in for the common son, "You are the princess, not his maid, now go back to the piano room to practice the piano."

"Yes." The princess quickly took her maid and mother-in-law and left.

Zhao Xifang walked up to the eldest son and raised his chin, "The eldest son of Prince Yu's Mansion is amazing. A concubine who is born as a concubine actually asks his eldest sister to play with you instead of practicing the piano."

The eldest son was frightened by Zhao Xifang, who had a fierce look on his face, and burst into tears.

"Useless things." Zhao Xifang took back her hand in disgust and wiped it with a handkerchief.

"Send him back to Concubine Fang's yard and let Concubine Fang take care of him. If he dares to disturb the princess again, I will skin the mother and son."

"Yes." The servants quickly took the eldest son away.

Zhao Xifang walked into Princess Yu's courtyard with a straight face.

"Why did you come back so late?" Princess Yu asked.

Zhao Xifang said: "I sent my mother off, but I came back late. Please forgive me."

Princess Yu frowned slightly, "I don't mean to blame you."

"Mother, if nothing happens, my daughter-in-law will go back first." Zhao Xifang did not have the energy to deal with the concubine.

"I have something to ask you. Sir, haven't you found him yet?" the concubine asked.

"We have already invited him and arranged for him to enter the mansion in early October."

After all, Zhao Xifang was the legitimate wife of a famous matchmaker. After the beating, the middle-aged man in the house was returned to her, and Fang Youting could also take care of it.

But how could Zhao Xifang let anyone else have too much power? She asked Fang Youting to take charge of the laundry room.

The washing room can be said to be the least greasy place in any house.

A flash of surprise flashed in the concubine's eyes. She thought Zhao Xifang would delay it any longer, "That's good. It's okay. You can go back to your room and rest."

"Daughter-in-law, please leave." Zhao Xifang bowed and left.

As soon as she left, someone behind her reported to the concubine that she had scared the eldest son to tears in the garden.

The concubine sighed, "I have a belly and a mountain, but I'm not my biological child after all."

"The princess hasn't turned a corner yet. Just wait until she figures it out later," the old nanny advised.

"I also hope she can figure it out soon. The relationship between siblings is good, and it is only the virtue of this natal family that can be brought back." The concubine had good intentions, but unfortunately Zhao Xifang did not understand it, and only felt that the concubine was abusing her daughter.

At the same time, Jiang Changning asked Xiulan, "Have you written down all the families who brought people into the palace today?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Xiulan put the washed grapes in her hand, "There are only a few people who brought people in, and I remember them all."

Jiang Changning smiled and picked a grape to eat. Xiulan was doing things, and she felt relieved.

On this day, Emperor Xuanzhi came to Qiyuan Palace very late. Jiang Changning had already gone to bed. Except for the lantern hanging at the entrance of the palace, which was still on, the entire palace was shrouded in twilight.

"Your Majesty, do you want to knock on the door?" Chang Changzhong asked.

"knock."

The Queen Mother wanted to let someone into the palace today, but he was too busy to have dinner with the Queen. If he didn't go in to accompany the Queen tonight, I'm afraid the Queen would think too much.

The door opened, and the chamberlain guarding the door was startled, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

"There is no need to report." Emperor Xuanzhi strode towards his bedroom.

When he comes, Xiulan and others will naturally be called up.

After Emperor Xuanzhi took a bath, he entered the palace and saw Jiang Changning sitting on the bed, "I still woke you up."

"Your Majesty, why are you busy so late?" Jiang Changning asked with a frown.

"I wanted to finish reviewing all the memorials, but I was busy so late." Emperor Xuanzhi lifted the quilt and went to bed.

"Your Majesty, it will still be bright tomorrow, and it's not something urgent, so there's no need to stay up late." Jiang Changning rolled into his arms, "Go to bed quickly."

Emperor Xuanzhi smiled, "Sleep."

The couple hugged each other and fell asleep, dreaming until dawn.

The next day, the Queen Mother couldn't wait to tell Jiang Changning: "It's lonely in the palace. I like that girl Chu Jing, and I want to take her into the palace to stay for a few days."

"Mother, this is inappropriate." Jiang Changning disagreed.

"What's wrong?" The Queen Mother's face darkened.

"She is not related to the Queen Mother, and she is about to have haircuts. Taking her into the palace to stay for a short while will be harmful to her reputation. I ask the Queen Mother to think twice before doing so." Jiang Changning leaned forward and said.

"Queen, it is a taboo for a woman to be jealous."

Jiang Changning stood up and said, "The Queen Mother wants to pick up someone, so do it. There are quite a few people who have died silently in this harem."

The Queen Mother slammed the table, "Are you threatening me?"

"It's not the first time." Jiang Changning turned around and walked away.

The Queen Mother hit a wall with Jiang Changning, but she did not give up, and told Emperor Xuanzhi that she would take Chu Jing into the palace.

Emperor Xuanzhi also disagreed, "If the queen mother feels that the palace is boring, it is better to take her to Mount Wutai to live for some time."

Mount Wutai was the retreat of several queen mothers in their later years, where they could recuperate physically and mentally.

When the Queen Mother heard this, her expression changed slightly, "You want to drive the Queen Mother away to Mount Wutai?"

"What the Queen said, how could your son drive you away to Mount Wutai? The son thinks that the scenery of Mount Wutai is beautiful. Since the Queen married her father, she has lived in the capital for a long time and has never gone out. She has really wronged her."

"The son has to deal with government affairs and cannot accompany his mother. The queen has to manage the harem and take care of three children, and she cannot serve her mother."

"The mother likes Chu Jing so much, and the son thinks that with her accompanying the mother and making the mother happy, the son will feel relieved."

The Queen Mother looked at the eloquent Emperor Xuanzhi for a long time and said, "I will not go to Mount Wutai."

"Then Chu Jing won't be able to stay with his mother." Emperor Xuanzhi said regretfully.

"I don't need her to accompany me, I have my three grandchildren to accompany me." The Queen Mother said angrily.

Emperor Xuanzhi comforted the Queen Mother and went back to the Qinzheng Hall to review the memorial. But as he looked at it, he threw the imperial pen in his hand to the ground.

Chang Zhonggong stepped forward, picked up the imperial pen, and stepped aside.

"Go and call Cao Jiang." Emperor Xuanzhi said.

Chang Youzhong went out and asked the young eunuch to call Cao Jiang.

Emperor Xuanzhi ordered Cao Jiang, "Send someone to Fujian to see what happened to Zhao Youping and Zhou Duxin?"

The memorial just now was made by Zhao Youping to impeach Zhou Duxin. This is already the fifth memorial.

Emperor Xuanzhi had already made his attitude clear by confiscating four copies, but Zhao Youping actually returned the offer at a higher discount, which was simply out of line with current affairs.

My tooth has been hurting for a day, and I don’t understand. I almost lost all my teeth, so why does it still hurt?
