The sage personally instructed the queen, of course, to be sad, and Mrs. Yu quickly moved into the Changchun Palace to raise a child.

The queen was carefully trimming the bonsai on the shelf. Wei Yingluo peeked at the queen from time to time while practicing calligraphy. The queen finally couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? I have to say no."

Wei Yingluo pondered her words for a while, but she still said bluntly: "Empress Empress, you shouldn't have brought noble lady Yu to Changchun Palace."

The queen looked at her quietly and asked, "Why?"

Wei Yingluo never concealed her thoughts in front of the queen, saying: "The noble person is about to give birth, and there are many scruples. Which meal is eaten too much or not enough, if one does not take good care of it, outsiders will instead blame the mother."

The queen was slightly surprised and asked, "Yingluo, you have defended the noble man many times, why did you change your mind this time?"

Wei Yingluo replied almost coldly: "Yingluo thinks that she is not afraid of trouble, and it does not mean that she takes the initiative to cause trouble."

The queen put down the scissors, walked over to Wei Yingluo, and asked amusingly, "Do you think this palace is taking the initiative to provoke right and wrong when you invite noble people to Changchun Palace?"

Wei Yingluo did not deny it: "The slave is ignorant. If you think wrong, please forgive me." The queen took the pen from her hand, wrote a word at the desk, and asked, "Do you know what word it is?"

Although Wei Yingluo learned to read and write with the queen, but she didn't recognize the character written by the queen, so she shook her head.

The queen patiently taught her: "A mouth in the lower left and a hand in the upper right, this is the origin of the word "hou" in the oracle bone inscriptions. The Forbidden City is a giant, living with countless concubines and palace maids. The queen is the master of all the concubines. The Umbrella of the Six Palaces, to provide shelter for the women here."

Wei Yingluo immediately understood what the empress meant, but although she understood, she couldn't, and frowned, "But they are all here to compete with you for the empress!"

There was an indescribable sadness and pity in the Queen's expression. She looked at the word "Queen" on the white paper and said softly: They have left their parents and relatives and been locked up in the deep palace all their lives, which is pitiful enough; Full of jealousy, attacking dissidents, and acting in the palace, it will lose order; this palace is weak, and can always give them a little warmth, when they are wronged, they will not cry and complain; Yingluo, you must always remember that this is The palace is the queen first, then a woman. "

Wei Yingluo stood there in a daze, she looked at the queen, and seemed to see another person, who also said to her so tenderly: "Yingluo, it's not easy for everyone to survive, you have to do your best to help those who can. Man, do you understand?"

The queen looked at the tears that flashed in Wei Yingluo's eyes, and asked at a loss, "Yingluo, what's the matter with you?"

Wei Yingluo hurriedly wiped away her tears and said in a low voice, "This servant has an older sister, and the manner in which the mother said just now is very similar to that of her sister, please forgive me, you are a body of ten thousand gold, and the servant should not treat you and my sister as one. Than, the slave just thinks that you are a kind-hearted person like my sister, and God will definitely bless you." I will also protect you.

The queen lovingly touched Wei Yingluo's forehead, and said angrily, "I actually cried, what a little girl."

Wei Yingluo smiled embarrassedly.

The queen said again: "Yingluo, this palace is going to Changchun Garden to accompany the Empress Dowager to worship the Buddha. Erqing will go with me. After that, everything about Changchun Palace will be entrusted to you."

Wei Yingluo gave an "eh" and hurriedly said, "Empress Empress, this servant can't bear such a burden, so let's leave it to Mingyu."

The queen took Wei Yingluo's hand: "Mingyu has been with Ben Gong for many years and has deep feelings, but she is not calm enough. Ben Gong wants you to guard Changchun Palace!"

For the sake of this, Wei Yingluo no longer refuses, and agrees seriously, "Yes."

The next day, Feng Jia left the palace.

After the Empress left, although everyone heard that the Empress ordered Wei Yingluo to be director, Mingyu was unconvinced and took the initiative to take over the big and small affairs and assign everyone. Wei Yingluo didn't want to confront Mingyu head-on, and Mingyu was indeed more familiar with the affairs of Changchun Palace than she was. As long as nothing happened, she would not fight for power.

That night, Wei Yingluo was having a good dream in her room when she suddenly heard a shrill scream from a woman, she suddenly woke up from her dream, and the palace maid He Ye shouted from a distance: "The nobleman is about to give birth, hurry up, hurry up. Midwife please!"

Wei Yingluo immediately put on her clothes and hurried to the inner courtyard. She saw the inner courtyard was in a mess. She pulled her hair together and shouted sharply, "What are you panicking, Amber, go and invite the midwife!"

Amber recovered and hurriedly left.

Wei Yingluo clarified her thoughts and repeatedly ordered: "Pearl, prepare the hot water and scissors for later use. For the rest, ask the midwife, Jade, and ask the wet nurse to make another pot of ginseng soup at any time!"

After everyone had an errand, they finally calmed down and went their separate ways.

Mingyu gritted his teeth beside him, his face full of resentment.

When the ginseng soup was ready, Wei Yingluo was about to enter the hall with the ginseng soup, but Mingyu suddenly stopped her and said in a dark tone, "I'll just send it in! You go to the backyard to wash your dirty clothes, don't be an eyesore here!"

Wei Yingluo was annoyed in her heart, but after hearing the shrill screams of the nobles in the hall and the urging of the midwife, the voice became louder and louder. Knowing that it was not the time to quarrel, Mingyu took away the ginseng soup and sent it to the hall.

In the side hall, Mr. Yu screamed like a high-pitched scream, and the maids kept shuttling, passing the blood and water, and quickly exchanged for clean hot water.

The midwife was also sweating anxiously, and encouraged: "Niangniang, work hard!"

Yu Guiren suddenly let out a cry that almost pierced one's eardrums, and immediately, the loud cry of a child rang out, and everyone felt relieved! When the honored person collapsed on the bed, his long hair was loose, he asked angrily, "Is it Brother or Grid?"

The two midwives looked at the child and looked at each other's eyes with horror.

Mr. Yu asked again eagerly: "Is it Brother or Grid!"

A midwife trembled: "It's a little brother!"

Yugui was happy in his heart, raised his hand with difficulty and said, "Let me see the child."

Another midwife tremblingly said: "Your honor... this... "

Mr. Yu frowned, feeling uneasy in his heart, and said, "Come here, let me see him!"

Mingyu walked to the midwife and saw the child clearly, and took a half step back in horror.

The voices of the palace maids came from outside the door: "The servant greets the noble concubine!"

Mingyu stomped her feet, turned her face and instructed Jade and Agate: "You guys take good care of the noble people, the noble concubine is here, you can't let her see the younger brother, I will stop her!" After that, Mingyu walked out quickly.

Yu Guiren's voice had already started to tremble. She stared blankly at the people in the hall and asked, "What's going on... What's the matter with you?"

Everyone bowed their heads.

Outside the door, a group of people surrounded the concubine Hui Gui and walked mightily to the inner courtyard of Changchun Palace.

Mingyu wiped off his sweat and saluted, "The servant greets the noble concubine!"

Concubine Huigui didn't even bother to look at her, she waved her hand, and said, "Forget it, I heard that your noble person is about to give birth, but the queen is not in the palace. As a noble concubine, I naturally have to take care of her."

Mingyu said with a smile: "The noble concubine please rest in the main hall, and the servants will serve tea."

The crying of the baby in the house was loud, and Concubine Huigui raised her lips with interest and walked straight forward: "No need, this palace will go to see the child."

Mingyu hurriedly stopped him: "The noble concubine, the filth in the delivery room is detrimental to the jade body!"

Concubine Huigui gave Zhilan a wink, and Zhilan immediately reprimanded: "Go away, dare to block the way of the empress?" A group of eunuchs immediately grabbed Mingyu. Seeing that Mingyu couldn't stop her, Pearl turned around and went to the backyard to find Wei Yingluo.

Concubine Huigui strode into the side hall, and the midwife and the maid were at a loss. When Concubine Huigui saw a midwife holding a swaddle, she immediately said, "Yo, congratulations on the smooth delivery of my sister, let me see how cute the child is."

A nanny stepped forward quickly, took the younger brother away from the midwife, and sent it to Concubine Huigui. Concubine Huigui lifted her swaddling clothes and was shocked, and said in shock, "You, you gave birth to a monster!"

Yu Guiren was taken aback: "What monster, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Seeing that, a midwife couldn't hide it, and trembled like a chaff: "Your Majesty, the younger brother's eyes are golden, and his body is terrifyingly yellow. I have never seen so many children delivered by slaves!"

Second, in Chengqian Palace, Concubine Chun and Concubine Xian were playing chess. Yuhu walked quickly to Concubine Chun and said a few words in a low voice.

Concubine Chun suddenly got up: "Really?"

Yuhu nodded and said, "It's absolutely true."

Concubine Chun threw the chess piece in her hand and said, "Ren Yu gave birth to a strange baby. I'm afraid we won't be able to play this chess! Come on, let's go and see."

Concubine Xian looked surprised: "Okay."

Yuhu said next to him: "Concubine Hui Gui has already gone first, and she will definitely deal with it according to the palace rules, Niangniang, let's go and save people!"

Concubine Xian had already stood up. After Concubine Chun heard Yuhu's sentence, she stopped and said, "Wait."

Saving people is like putting out a fire, neither Concubine Xian nor Yuhu understand what to expect.

Concubine Chun was already sitting in her seat calmly and said: "You said, it's good, why did the noble person give birth to a strange baby?"

Concubine Xian asked inexplicably, "Sister, what does this mean?"

Concubine Chun showed a smile, picked up the chess piece and dropped another one, and said: "The imperial concubine is always domineering, why don't we give her a big gift! I have another thing to do, but I will trouble my sister to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation first! "

There are two flowers, one on each side.

Wei Yingluo followed Pearl to the side hall in a hurry, and was about to move forward, but Mingyu reached out to stop her: "You can't go in! Didn't you hear the movement inside, the nobleman Yu gave birth to a monster, and the imperial concubine dealt with it according to the palace rules. , no one can stop you! You are making trouble for yourself, don't bring us!"

Wei Yingluo's eyes suddenly turned cold, she raised her hand and slapped Mingyu on the face.

This slap didn't hold back, and Mingyu's face showed clear five-fingerprints. She covered her face in disbelief: "You hit me? You're crazy!"

Seeing that the two were arguing first, Zhuzhu hurriedly said, "Yingluo, if you have something to say, talk about it!"

Wei Yingluo said coldly: "There is no reason to talk about something that can't speak human language! Tell you Mingyu, the empress has been away from the palace for two days. It's not because I'm afraid of you that Mr. Yu has a miscarriage! Now, Mr. Yu and the younger brother are at stake, since you don't care, just get out of the way!"

Mingyu covered her face, her eyes were angry and hateful, and she said sternly, "Wei Yingluo, you can't control this matter. If you control the monsters, you will be against the rules of the ancestors. Do you want to implicate the empress?"

Wei Yingluo said impatiently, "The Empress ordered me to keep the noble lady, so I will accept this!" After saying that, she hurried to the side hall to beat them away, but a group of eunuchs blocked the door.

Mingyu said contemptuously, "Who can't talk big, do you have the ability?"

Wei Yingluo glanced at the eyeing eunuchs, suddenly turned around, and rushed straight to the queen's bedroom.

Pearl was in a hurry and asked after him, "Yingluo, what are you doing!"

Mingyu sneered and said angrily and hatefully, "I want to see how she manages!"

The queen's bedroom had been turned over by Wei Yingluo, and Pearl was so anxious to cry: "Yingluo, is there anything you can do?" There were bursts of children crying outside the door, urging the two of them.

Pearl stomped her feet in a hurry, and said with a weeping voice, "Yingluo, it's too late!"
