When Beibei was about to answer, he heard the crowing of chickens. Well, there was no way to talk quietly now, so he could only wave his hand and said, "Catch the chickens and ducks first, and then we can talk it over."
After hearing what the emperor said, everyone hurried to chase the chickens and ducks. People who were proud of their status naturally would not go. Those who went were the eunuchs and palace maids, making the situation a little embarrassing for a while.
The chickens and ducks were not easy to bully, and they flew directly towards the concubines. In an instant, there was another round of screams, which made Qian Jiujiu stunned. Of course, there were also chickens flying towards her, but she caught them in one go and handed them over to the eunuch beside her.
After a lot of effort, the chaotic situation finally calmed down. The chickens and ducks were sent back to the imperial kitchen, but now they didn't even have a place to sit. There were either chicken feathers, chicken paw prints, or even disgusting chicken shit.
These high-ranking imperial concubines had never seen this before, so they vomited on the spot. The Queen Mother looked displeased and glared at the vomiting imperial concubine: "All of you should go back. You are an eyesore if you stay here."
The concubine felt extremely aggrieved and could only leave with the help of the palace maid. Mu Yexiao saw that this place really didn't look like a place to talk, so he coughed twice and said, "Brother, mother, let's talk somewhere else."
This group of people wanted to leave, so the others naturally dispersed. Back in the Queen Mother's Palace, Beibei still stared at the Emperor, making the Emperor feel a little uncomfortable. He coughed twice: "Beibei, why do you look at me in such a strange way?"
The emperor was very puzzled. Beibei used to be very cute and polite to him. Why did she look at him as if he were a bad guy today? This made the emperor very depressed.
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao also looked at each other. They knew their daughter well. Although she had a little temper and was even a little naughty and annoying, she would not be so rude.
"Beibei, what's the matter? You just said that your uncle did something wrong. What did your uncle do?"
The emperor also wanted to know this, and looked at Beibei with curiosity. Beibei snorted coldly: "Mother, father, you don't know that the emperor's uncle is too much. He makes brother Yiner study all day long and doesn't let him play."
So that's what happened. Qian Jiujiu found it funny: "Your brother Yin'er is different from you two siblings. He has a heavy burden on his shoulders, so naturally he has to learn more."
Beibei also understood this, but still couldn't accept it: "But if he studies all day long, won't Yin'er become stupid? What will he do if he only knows how to study in the future? He is still so young, can't he learn while playing?"
As soon as the word "Stupid" came out, the atmosphere in the hall became awkward. Qian Jiujiu chuckled. How should he put it? "Stupid" shouldn't be that serious, right? "Don't you have any free time at all?"
Beibei nodded: "Yes, as soon as you open your eyes you are studying and reading, and when you close your eyes you have to listen to people reading. This is not fair. Brother Yin'er is still young, he should have time to rest."
Qian Jiujiu looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, you are not so perverted, are you?"
What does pervert mean? The emperor frowned, and even the queen beside him was a little surprised. Looking at Qian Jiujiu, Qian Jiujiu was a little helpless: "You really didn't let Yin'er play at all?"
The Queen looked at the Emperor. Ever since she became pregnant with her second child, the teaching of the eldest prince had been left to the Emperor. Now the Queen realized that she seemed to have neglected her son too much.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the emperor had no choice but to speak: "You just said that he will have heavy tasks in the future. Isn't it right for him to start studying now? Besides, we all went through this when we were young."
Before anyone else got angry, the Queen Mother was already so angry that she slammed the table and said, "You're talking nonsense. When did I ever ask you to study so hard? Yin'er is still so young. How can you be so cruel?"
The emperor really felt wronged and looked at the queen mother: "Mother, Yin'er will take over the throne when he is 18 years old. If he doesn't start learning now, what will he do if he doesn't understand in the future?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. Taking over the throne at the age of 18? What the hell is this? Mu Yexiao raised his eyebrows and looked at the emperor: "Brother, you are really going too far."
Qian Jiujiu nodded: "That's right, it is most important for children to cultivate the most correct values when they are young. Even if you want him to take over the throne as soon as possible, you can't treat him like this."
The Queen was even more confused, not knowing whether to comfort the Emperor for valuing Yin'er so much, or to cry for Yin'er's hard work. But Beibei was right, Yin'er was too young now, and she turned to look at the Emperor: "Your Majesty, you are too reckless, Yin'er is still young, there is no rush."
Qian Jiujiu also nodded: "That's right, the most important thing for children is their childhood. You are so cruel."
The emperor watched as everyone accused him, and for a moment he began to doubt whether he was too cruel to Yin'er. He lowered his head and looked at Yin'er: "Yin'er, do you want to study or play?"
Yin'er frowned. Although he could read and write, he really hadn't thought much about the future. After all, he was too young. The queen looked at Yin'er who didn't dare to speak, and couldn't help feeling guilty again. She reached out and held Yin'er's hand.
"Yin'er, be good and tell the truth to your mother, okay? Don't be afraid, your mother will protect you."
Hearing the queen's gentle voice, Yin'er finally calmed down: "Mother, I want to play with my sister, and I will learn to read and write."
The emperor didn't understand what she said, and then he felt the queen staring at him, and for a moment he touched his nose unnaturally: "Since Yin'er likes it, then relax a little on the schoolwork and arrange some play time every day."
When Yin'er heard that his father agreed, he became happy on the spot and looked at his father: "Thank you, father."
Now everyone is happy. Beibei also looked at the emperor with satisfaction: "It's great that my uncle corrects his mistakes."
The emperor smiled dotingly and touched Beibei's head: "Yes, if the emperor uncle makes a mistake in the future, Beibei can tell him directly, and the emperor uncle will definitely change."
When Yin'er heard this, he looked up at the emperor and said, "Father, can I study with Sister Beibei?"
Beibei smiled and shook her head: "No, we learn different things, so it's not possible. But Yin'er, I will definitely do what I promised you. I will come to the palace to see you in Beijing and bring you some fun toys."
Although Yin Er felt a little disappointed, he still nodded: "Okay."
Beibei touched Yin'er's head and said, "Yin'er is so good."
In the Queen Mother's palace, after everyone had something to eat again, Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao took the two children back. The Emperor and the Queen sent Yin'er back and then returned to the Queen's palace.
As soon as I entered, I heard someone say that Concubine Han and Concubine Liu were coming. They saw that the emperor was also there, and felt a little embarrassed for a moment, but they had to greet him: "Greetings to the emperor, and greetings to the queen."
The Emperor nodded in response to the two of them, then went towards the study, leaving the Queen with only the two of them. The Queen walked to her seat and sat down, looking at the two people with somewhat uneasy expressions, and found it a little funny.
"Are you coming here at this time because of today's banquet? Today's banquet was an accident, it's not your fault."
Concubine Han and Concubine Liu were indeed a little worried, and they felt more at ease after hearing what the queen said. However, they came here for other things, and the two looked at each other, and it was Concubine Liu who spoke first.
"Your Majesty, we are here to discuss something else with you."
As they spoke, the two men glanced cautiously at the emperor in the inner room, as if they were worried that the emperor might eavesdrop. This made the queen wonder what these two guys were going to do.
"The emperor won't hear it, so if you have something to say, just say it directly."
Concubine Han thought for a moment before speaking: "It's like this, the two of us would like to discuss with you, the Queen, whether we can remove our green cards."
The Queen was really surprised this time, and looked at the two of them: "Don't you want to serve the Emperor?"
The two looked at each other and then shook their heads: "No, it's not easy for us to have children anyway, so let's leave it to other sisters in the palace. Please help, Queen."
The queen realized that these two guys were showing their loyalty to her, and her belly was getting bigger and bigger, so she couldn't rely on the queen mother for everything. The two people in front of her were very suitable to be her allies.
Moreover, the two of them also gave up the idea of competing for favor. They looked at the two people who lowered their heads and said, "Are you two sure? Once this is torn off, it won't be so easy to put it back up again."
Concubine Han and Concubine Liu looked at each other and nodded firmly: "Okay, we are sure. Please help, Queen."
Seeing that the two were sincere, the Queen nodded and said, "Since you are sure, I will have someone take down your green cards. If you have nothing else to do, you can go back first."
After the two left, the emperor came out of the inner room and looked at the queen: "You cheated them like this, who said I couldn't hear it."
The Queen raised her eyebrows: "I didn't expect that the Emperor would eavesdrop. Isn't this a trap for them? Are you saying that the Emperor is angry? Because they don't want to serve you?"
The emperor thought for a moment before shaking his head and denying, "I'm not angry, but rather happy that there are two fewer people annoying me. Since they are so sensible, they should be rewarded. What do you think, Queen?"
The Queen nodded: "That's fine. I wonder what kind of reward the Emperor is going to give? And what's the reason for the reward?"
The emperor smiled and said, "This is easy. Just use the rewards from today's banquet. The queen just asked me to give them a talisman. In fact, it is not necessary. With their identities and backgrounds, they are destined to live well in the palace as long as they don't commit suicide."
Soon, they set out from the Queen's Palace to reward the two ladies, saying that the Emperor was satisfied with today's banquet, so he rewarded the two ladies.
When the two ladies saw that it was a reward from the emperor, they looked at each other and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
