Although the Guo Luoluo family had taken root in Shengjing, they also had a mansion in the capital, which was used for communication between the two places.
Sanguanbao informed his daughter in the palace of the remaining personnel. Yunxiu rarely used them except to pass messages. Recalling her father's arrangement in the capital, she pondered for a while and whispered to Ruizhu: "Contact Suo'etu, don't get involved with Pingpin. Find a trustworthy person, take my badge and leave the palace, and be careful to avoid being seen..."
Ruizhu listened carefully and nodded solemnly.
After Yun Xiu gave the order, he relaxed and leaned back slightly.
If my brother really takes up the position of Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he will always be constrained by Mingzhu and will not have much room to display his talents. He may even be caught up in party struggles, arouse the suspicion of the emperor, and be hated by the Hesheli family.
But on second thought, in addition to the reputation of the Guo Luoluo clan, they also gained benefits. It would be a pity to give up such a lucrative job.
This matter has both advantages and disadvantages, but the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
She didn't want her brother to take up the post, and her father didn't want her either. But the phrase "wishes come true" is ultimately illusory and beyond human control.
Yun Xiu had let go of her obsession with winning favor after realizing that it was all just a dream. She had become more open-minded. She had done everything she could. All that was left was to wait quietly...
Do your best and leave the rest to fate. If it doesn't work out, there's nothing to complain about.
After a while, she narrowed her eyes, as if thinking about something. Mingzhu's sword move was unconventional and very vicious, which was very different from his usual style.
I wonder who came up with this idea and whether it has anything to do with the harem
Return to Beijing to report on work, with the words "return to Beijing" first and "report on work" second. Before he even arrived, he put the report in his pocket, swiftly wrote down the recommended candidates, and hurriedly handed them over to the case, fearing that others would intercept him.
You know, this is against the rules.
Executing first and reporting later carries a sense of coercion. Isn't he afraid that the Guo Luoluo clan will bear a grudge against him
…That’s right, as Ming Zhongtang, I think he is not afraid.
She smiled and asked, "Where is Yinzhen? It's been so long and the wet nurse hasn't brought him here. Is he sleeping soundly?"
As she asked the question, the solemn atmosphere in the main hall disappeared.
Wen Yuan smiled and said, "The Queen was talking to us about something important just now, so the wet nurse didn't want to disturb us, so she waited outside. The Ninth Prince woke up early, how could he still sleep? I don't need to see it to imagine the Ninth Prince kicking his legs in protest outside the curtain."
These words made everyone laugh.
Yun Xiu's eyebrows curved, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly: "You are right, he must be waiting anxiously. To make up for it, I will take him to Yongshou Palace to see my tenth brother today..."
*****
The wet nurse's legs seemed to be rooted to the ground. She stood outside, unable to go in, just to prevent him from having the chance to eavesdrop on what his mother was saying.
Yinzhen was so angry that he was scratching his head and wanted to scream at the top of his lungs and do something with his arms and legs, but when he thought that the wet nurse was a woman and not as strong as his father, he became timid.
What if I can’t hold her anymore and let go, won’t I be the one who suffers
Immediately afterwards, Yinzhen heard the sound of the curtain being lifted, followed by waves of greetings, and he moved into the arms of his mother Xiangxiang.
Surprise! Happy!
In Yunxiu's eyes, Yinzhen's black eyes were rolling around, his fair and tender cheeks were flushed with a healthy blush, and his chubby little hands with dimpled flesh were placed by his mouth, showing a rare well-behaved look.
She pinched her son's round face affectionately: "Why are you so well behaved today? You don't look like the Xiaojiu that mother knew."
Yinzhen snorted, his little baby voice a little floating, but to everyone's ears it sounded like a sweet act of coquettishness.
The Ninth Prince is so young, but he can actually respond to the Empress' words
After being surprised, Nanny Dong smiled and said, "Madam, the Ninth Prince is not only lovable, but also very intelligent. When he goes to school in the future, he will definitely be the top student."
Yinzhen was originally very happy and was about to bite his hand, but he froze when he heard this. "Madame Dong, aren't you harming me?"
There is a limit to trying to please my mother. It's fine if you praise me, but why bring up studying
Yunxiu moved Yinzhen's restless hand away, and after hearing what Nanny Dong said, she nodded in agreement, suppressed her smile, and said seriously: "I think so too. If he doesn't take first place, it would be a shame for his extraordinary intelligence when he was young!"
Then he sighed softly, his expression unable to stop sighing: "I hope that the incident of hurting Zhongyong will not happen to Xiaojiu."
Yinzhen was completely stunned: "..."
First
Haha, what a joke, he is almost the number one playboy in the capital.
He was determined to be the bully in the palace who could tease cats and dogs. Of course, this did not include the study room.
If I really got first place, my masters in my previous life would die with peace of mind... Bah, they died a long time ago.
No, that's not the point.
Saying these things to a two-month-old baby and insulting Zhongyong, doesn't the mother feel guilty?!
Nanny Dong was a little confused. She was just giving a routine compliment, so why did the Empress bring it up with the story of the injury to Zhongyong
Soon, she put away her bewildered look and repeated subconsciously, "No, no, Madam, please relax."
Yinzhen: “…”
I really can't feel at ease.
Jiu Ye's resentment was about to break through the sky. Just as he couldn't stop muttering, Yun Xiu stepped into Yongshou Palace with a smile, "Look who's here? I brought Xiao Jiu to accompany Xiao Shi!"
The imperial concubine was wearing a snow-white fox fur coat, leaning on the bed and smiling at her: "I knew it was you, you came at the right time. Yin'e just drank milk, and he is energetic now. It's a good opportunity for him to meet his ninth brother and take the opportunity to recognize his face."
…
Yinzhen first sighed about the imperial concubine when she was young, and then was shocked by the word "Yin'e" from the imperial concubine's mouth. He was so ecstatic that he almost burst into tears.
It took him a lot of effort to suppress his excitement about meeting his tenth brother.
Before he could come to his senses, Yinzhen was caught off guard and made eye contact with another baby.
Little Ten is only half a month old now, and looks smaller than Ninth Prince. There is still a faint red on his face from the womb. Overall, he no longer looks like a little monkey, and is very different from when he was born.
One is standing, one is lying, one has double eyelids, and one has single eyes.
The two looked at each other for a long time...
Yin'er's eyes gradually opened wider, and Yin'e's eyes also gradually opened wider.
They seemed to be competing to see whose eyes were bigger, sparks flew everywhere, neither of them was willing to admit defeat, and in the end Yin'e was defeated.
Firstly, I don’t have enough energy, and secondly, I was born with small eyes and can’t compete.
Yinzhen cried out "Yeah" and waved his hands. Besides being excited, there was a deep sense of pride in his eyes.
You little brat, do you want to compete with me to see whose eyes are bigger? Just look at your squinty eyes that are like sunflower seeds
You don't know your own limitations.
Yin'e: "..."
Yin'e turned his eyes away and looked straight at the bed curtain, drooling uncontrollably.
Jiu Ye uttered "Ya Ya" again, and then made a "Ga Ga" sound, which sounded like a mockery. Then, with Yun Xiu's support, he tried for a long time, trying his best and perseveringly to reach out the fat boy's hand.
Seeing that he couldn't reach Yin'e, Yin'er gave up his hands in disappointment and started kicking with his legs instead.
He kicked forward, heading towards Yin'e's drooling mouth, apparently wanting to stick his feet into his tenth brother's mouth.
Yin'e: "… "
The imperial concubine covered her mouth and laughed, but Yunxiu realized something was wrong.
She coughed, pinched her son's little feet, and stuffed them into the swaddling clothes effortlessly. Under the background sound of Yin'er's "babbling" protests, she said calmly: "Xiaojiu is too naughty. I will have to teach him a lesson later."
"It's just a child's play. He's only a few months old. What does he know?" The imperial concubine found it funny. She reached out and tapped Yunxiu, scolding her, "You're still lecturing me. You, as a mother, are not reliable."
Yun Xiu thought, how can this be just children playing
Yinzhen, this devil, is openly bullying his younger brother!
If she allowed Yinzhen to do what he did without caring about anything, the imperial concubine would definitely feel distressed, and after feeling distressed, she would come to settle the score with her.
Yunxiu snorted and did not refute. Instead, he stared at Yinzhen closely.
Seeing him start to act innocent again, blowing bubbles, and showing a sweet toothless smile to the imperial concubine, Yun Xiu: "..."
"Look, the Ninth Prince is smiling at me!" The imperial concubine said in surprise, "This child is really good."
She looked at Yin'e carefully. The more she looked, the more she loved him. She was about to reach out and hug him. Over there, Yin'e burst into tears at the top of his lungs: "Wuuuuu waaaaa—wuuuu—"
The crying sound was audible, and now it was Yunxiu's turn to feel heartbroken.
Before the imperial concubine could react, Yun Xiu frowned and immediately said, "His voice is too delicate. What should we do if he gets hurt from crying?"
After that, she leaned down.
When he leaned forward halfway, before his fingertips touched Yin'e's swaddling clothes, alarm bells rang in Yin'e's heart, and four bold words slowly emerged: You are the only one who can cry
The Ninth Prince closed his eyes and began to make the same devilish sound: "Woo woo woo wah wah wah-woo woo-"
Yun Xiu: “…”
Imperial Concubine: “…”
*****
After coaxing their children, they felt exhausted from the bottom of their hearts.
"Why do these two brothers seem like enemies?" the imperial concubine murmured. "Are they trying to compete with each other?"
Yun Xiu felt guilty and suspicious, but in the end, her guilty conscience prevailed.
She echoed the Imperial Concubine's words and immediately changed the subject, talking about Tu Yue's upcoming appointment to the capital: "My father is so anxious that he is furious. I only hope that the Emperor can show some sympathy and let my brother escape from Mingzhu's hell..."
The imperial concubine has been recuperating in Yongshou Palace these days, and this is the first time she knows about such changes in Guo Luoluo's family.
She restrained her smile and said with a sullen face, "This is too dishonest. It's not like Mingzhu's style. It seems more like the intrigues between concubines. Who else could come up with such an idea except Concubine Hui?!"
Yun Xiu nodded and continued her conversation: "It's not just Concubine Hui. Have you forgotten? There is also the one in Yonghe Palace."
A few days ago, Concubine Hui hosted the Fifth Princess's full-month ceremony, and the Imperial Concubine had heard about it. She was startled, then suddenly realized: "Yes, Concubine Hui couldn't think of such a vicious method, there must be someone helping her."
With a little thought, the cause and effect can be seamlessly connected.
“This is really, really…” The imperial concubine didn’t know how to comment on it, and sneered, “It’s not enough to be arrogant in the harem, but now you are arrogant in the former dynasty!”
After saying that, she looked at Yun Xiu steadily, "I originally thought that when I was out of confinement, I would give Nara a good lesson and cut off her claws in the palace, so that I could also take this opportunity to establish my authority... Now it seems that the time is right, and I can't wait any longer."
Hearing this, Yun Xiu raised her eyebrows: "Liang Guiren and Eighth Prince?"
The imperial concubine smiled and nodded slowly.
"You, you have a hidden card here." Yun Xiu chuckled, and then said softly, "If we add a concubine Wu, wouldn't everyone be happy?"
The imperial concubine thought for a moment, her eyes brightened: "You mean..."
"Let Concubine Hui lose her status as the foster mother of the Eighth Prince and raise the Fifth Princess instead." Yun Xiu said with a smile, "There are gains and losses, so she won't suffer any loss, right?"
The author has something to say: Small theater:
Yinzhen: Look at your squinting eyes like sunflower seeds
Yin'e: … …
