Chapter 46

It was soon the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. Chu Yunning chose a gift early and took Beibei to the palace in a carriage.

Beibei entered the palace for the first time and looked at the red bricks and green tiles curiously, looking at the high palace walls, muttered: "Mom, aren't the people in the palace bored? This wall is so high that you can't see anything."

"If you get used to it, you won't feel bored."

"Mom, it's still free outside."

The two walked on the long corridor, passing by many ladies and ladies who were also here to congratulate. Everyone looked at the mother and son frequently, as if saying, how could an abandoned woman have the nerve to bring her children to the banquet?

"Miss Chu!"

Princess Changyang's voice came from behind.

Chu Yunning stopped and looked back at Princess Changyang. He lost the title of Princess Changyang. Princess Changyang lost the pride of the past and became more kind and kind.

"I haven't seen each other for a long time, and Beibei has grown a lot taller." Princess Changyang reached out to touch Beibei's head. Beibei hesitated for a moment, thinking that Princess Changyang was Prince Mo's mother, and planned to give Prince Mo a face, so let her touch it once.

"Princess." Chu Yunning didn't know what the princess Changyang sold in the gourd, and he was alert.

Princess Changyang looked guilty: "Miss Chu, I was reckless in offending you before, and I'm here to apologize to you."

Not only that, Princess Changyang also gave Chu Yunning a brocade box. Chu Yunning didn't stretch out his hand and asked, "Princess has something to say."

"This is the fifty thousand taels of silver you gave me, and now the goods return to the original owner."

Even though Princess Changyang was reluctant to leave, she thought that she would rely on Chu Yunning to restore the position of Princess. Compared to her position, this silver bill was nothing.

"I misunderstood Master Ning before. Thanks to Master Ning, I saved my son. I remember this kindness, the princess's mansion."

After Princess Changyang's repeated requests, Chu Yunning took the brocade box. She didn't think the silver bill was too hot, and waved her hand in a generous manner: "It's over, the princess doesn't have to worry about it."

"Miss Chu knows where Master Ning is?"

Chu Yunning raised his eyebrows, and Princess Changyang lowered his voice: "Miss Chu doesn't know anything. The emperor has been ascending the throne for ten years. There is no descendant in the harem yet. I want to ask Master Ning to show the concubines what good recipes are there."

After ten years of ascending the throne, there were no children. There were so many concubines in the harem. Chu Yunning's first reaction was not that the concubine could not give birth, but that the emperor had problems.

Chu Yunning did not dare to agree rashly. The emperor held the right to kill all living beings in the world and would lose his head if he accidentally did.

Moreover, as long as one of the concubines is pregnant, the rest will look for her, and if they refuse, they will offend her.

Some concubines are easy to solve without power, while some concubines are the daughters of powerful officials and cannot be easily provoked.

Furthermore, the imperial heir involves future heirs, so she does not want to be involved in the battle for imperial power. She just wants to take Beibei to spend a few days of good life.

So Chu Yunning made a difficult decision: "Master Ning has been away from the capital for a long time, so I will try it as much as possible. Princess, don't have too much hope."

"Okay." Princess Changyang didn't urge, and smiled sweeter at Chu Yunning.

Before I knew it, I walked to the Empress Dowager's Cihe Palace. There were many wives waiting in the fertile yard, chatting and laughing around the flower bed.

There are many precious flowers planted in the flower beds, some of which are something that Chu Yunning has never seen before. They are colorful and beautiful, and are particularly beautiful.

At this time, the little eunuch came over: "Princess, the Queen Mother, please go there immediately."

Chu Yunning nodded and took Beibei to visit the Empress Dowager.

As soon as one foot stepped into the threshold, anger came: "Concubine Xia, how can you occupy the emperor's favor? You should advise the emperor to enjoy the rain and dew."

"Empress Dowager, I have advised the emperor in private, but the emperor..." Concubine Xia's tone was not kind, and she had no intention of respecting the empress dowager at all, and she looked proud: "But the emperor said that only I am able to feel safe, I am really unable to do anything."

Concubine Xia?

Why does this name sound so familiar?

"Concubine Xia, how could you contradict your mother?" A woman in a phoenix robe sat in the lower left, with twelve phoenix hairpins on her head, and she was the Empress of the Palace, judging by her identity.

"Queen, don't slander me. I just told the truth and never contradicted the Queen Mother. On the contrary, today is the Queen Mother's birthday party. We should have celebrated happily, but the Queen cried in front of the Queen Mother, not afraid of bad luck."

Although Concubine Xia was standing in the center of the hall for interrogation, her aura was not inferior to the palace queen at all, and her eyebrows were full of disdain.

"You!" Queen Gong's face turned pale because of anger.

"The queen should take care of herself. Don't be angry at all. She will accept the worship of the ladies of all officials in a while."

Concubine Xia was full of smug smiles on her face.

Good, are the palace fights so cruel? Chu Yunning was a little embarrassed for a moment. She didn't know whether to advance or retreat. Just as she was about to retreat, the eunuch behind her shouted in a duck-like voice: "Princess Xiao meets you."

Suddenly, the eyes of several women in the room fell on her, and Chu Yunning took Beibei in with his teeth.

"Please pay tribute to the Empress Dowager, Empress, and Concubine Xia."

When the empress dowager saw Beibei's tense face, her eyes suddenly shone with golden light and waved to Beibei: "Good grandson, come here for the emperor's grandmother."

Beibei slowly walked towards the empress dowager under the gesture of Chu Yunning's eyes, and shouted softly: "Grandmother of the Emperor."

"Oh!" The Empress Dowager took Beibei into her arms, and it hurt like something.

Chu Yunning was immediately cast by the queen and the imperial concubine with sharp eyes, and the two of them stood in the same camp in an instant.

"Why did Princess Xiao come alone? Where is Prince Xiao?" Concubine Xia looked at Chu Yunning with a smile: "Why did I hear that Princess Xiao had left Prince Xiao's mansion with her children many days ago? Are you planning to divorce?"

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she immediately frowned: "Is there anything else?"

"Mother, I have heard about this." Empress Gong echoed repeatedly, saying that everything Concubine Xia said was true.

Chu Yunning rolled his eyes speechlessly. It was really good things that didn't go out. The two of them had arguing just now, but they reached a tacit understanding against themselves in a blink of an eye. I really admire them.

"Ning'er?" The Empress Dowager shouted softly: "Ai'er wants to hear your own words, is Xiao'er bullying you again, or is it a bastard Ye Yan'er plotting against you? Tell the Ai'er that the Ai'er will make the decision for you!"

Both are daughter-in-laws, the Empress Dowager has no good looks against the Empress of the Palace and the Concubine Xia, and she is very fond of Chu Yunning.

This made the two very unhappy.

"Yes, I did move out of the mansion with my children." Chu Yunning had already thought of a remark before entering the palace: "Empress Dowager, my relationship with King Xiao and I have been over, so I don't want to be entangled, which disappoints the empress dowager."

Chu Yunning did not complain. In the eyes of the empress dowager, she suffered many grievances and hugged Beibei and refused to let go.

"Good boy, you're wronged."

Beibei was confused, but he cleverly coaxed the Queen Mother: "As long as you can see the emperor's grandmother, Beibei will not feel wronged."

"Really?" the queen mother was surprised.

Beibei nodded obediently and put his little head in the empress dowager's arms: "Mom takes me to live next to my grandmother's house. Beibei can still accompany my grandmother. There are not many people who love Beibei, and Beibei can't see her grandmother..."

Chu Yunning was silent. She had never taught Beibei to say these words.

"Chu Yunning, why do you teach your children to say such hypocritical words?" Concubine Xia couldn't stand it anymore. She always remembered the matter of Wannian Lingzhi. She was worried that she would not find a chance to teach Chu Yunning a lesson. She pointed at Chu Yunning: "You are not raising a good child in Prince Xiao's Mansion, but you have to take it out. Prince Xiao must be unable to bear it anymore to drive you out of the mansion."

Suddenly, Concubine Xia smiled meaningfully and looked at Beibei's face: "I have heard folk rumors that Chu Yunning was not pregnant when he was detained five years ago, but suddenly had a child..."

"Concubine Xia!" Chu Yunning's face suddenly became cold. Beibei became bigger and bigger, and she understood more. She absolutely did not allow anyone to talk nonsense in front of Beibei.

Concubine Xia was startled by the sudden shout, and her delicate eyebrows narrowed: "Why, I was touched by my palace and was so angry?"

"Concubine Xia is right, Chu Yunning, what is the occasion today? You shouldn't bring this child into the palace. Don't rely on your mother's kindness to deceive you. This child is not a royal descendant at all!"

The Empress of the Palace was very jealous of Chu Yunning having children. She clearly remembered how arrogant and domineering Chu'er was at the palace banquet five years ago, and the Empress Dowager supported her. The Empress Dowager repeatedly put pressure on her and accused her of being useless and unable to give birth to a legitimate son for the royal family.

When Chu'er was gone, Empress Gong was happy for several days and finally had no pressure.

"Queen!" The Queen Mother was displeased.

"Mother, I am also trying to stop being deceived. This child is not a royal bloodline at all. It was deliberately confused by Chu Yunning. Even if you like the child, you cannot be confused about it. This is Prince Xiao's son."

"What the queen said is that this child is not a royal descendant."

The two of them sang and reconciled. Seeing Beibei pouting, his little face became whiter and whiter, Chu Yunning felt very distressed when he looked at it.
