The dawn of spring comes earlier and earlier.
When Chu Yi opened his eyes, there was already light outside.
This is the first time in so many years that he has slept until this hour.
He looked at the woman beside him. Her black hair was scattered on the pillow, and her cold face was still asleep, showing a bit of laziness.
He couldn't help but kiss Yun Chu's forehead gently.
Then he stood up quietly, put on his clothes and walked outside the door. Two maids were guarding the door. Just as he was about to go in, Chu Yi whispered: "Wait half an hour before going in to serve."
Tingxue and Tingfeng took orders and continued to stand with their heads bowed.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. I have to go into the palace to thank you." Aunt Er walked into the main courtyard and lowered her head and said, "Old slave, go in and wait on the princess to wash up."
Although she calls herself an old slave, she is not actually that old. She is in her forties. Her black hair is neatly tied on top of her head. She looks up at people from the corners of her eyes. She looks quite aura.
Last night, when the prince and princess asked for hot water, Nanny Er insisted on entering the inner room with a bucket of hot water. It was Tingxue who insisted on stopping Nanny Er.
But now, Nanny Er is about to go in again, and the prince is present. Tingxue knows that she has no right to speak.
She pinched her palms, pursed her lips, and quickly thought of countermeasures.
"Tingxue is in charge of the princess's courtyard." Chu Yi said quietly, "Has Tingxue arranged for your grandma to go in and serve her?"
Tingxue couldn't help but be stunned.
Auntie Er is the prince's nanny and is in charge of the entire backyard of the prince's palace, including the servants of the main courtyard.
The prince actually asked the wet nurse to listen to her arrangements?
Grandma Er was also stunned.
She was someone close to the prince, and she offered to help the princess wash up. This was a sign that she recognized the princess as her master.
But the prince used a maid with no hair to suppress her. How could she establish her authority in front of the princess's dowry in the future?
The prince grew up on her milk, but after marrying his wife, he didn't take her seriously at all. Is it because the princess blew the pillow wind?
Aunt Er lowered her head and said, "This is an old slave who has overstepped his bounds. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Just as he was talking, two children ran in from the door.
Aunt Zheng followed behind: "Little ancestor, slow down, be careful if you fall..."
"Father, get up!" Chu Hongyu said hello, holding his sister and running up the steps.
Chu Yi pulled her into his arms: "Your mother is still sleeping, don't go in and disturb her."
In the room, Yun Chu covered his face and sat up.
Even if she got up later than Chu Yi, she was still sleeping when the two children were up. She was really shameless.
She put on some clothes, lifted the quilt, stood up, and coughed lightly.
Tingxue and Tingfeng immediately said: "Your Majesty, the princess is awake, and the servants have gone in to serve her."
Chu Yi nodded, picked up the two children, and followed them in.
Grandma Er stayed outside, her eyes a little dark.
Aunt Zheng stood at the side and said: "You may not know that the two young masters like the princess very much. For this reason, the prince will always respect the princess."
Aunt Er said softly: "Have you ever thought about what if the princess had her own legitimate son?"
Aunt Zheng stopped talking.
If a woman has a child of her own, she will definitely find ways to seek benefits for her biological child.
What is the greatest benefit of the palace? Naturally, it is the position of heir apparent.
"No matter what, this is nothing you and I can worry about." Aunt Zheng said, "Just do what you are doing and don't worry about anything else."
Grandma Er pursed her lips.
"Mom, I miss you so much..."
Chu Hongyu stepped on her shoes and climbed up, nestling into Yun Chu's arms.
Since his mother moved back to the Yun family, although he can often visit her, he is not as comfortable as before when they lived together.
After finally waiting for his mother to marry into the palace, Nanny Zheng said that he could never sleep with her again.
"Mom, I don't want to have my own yard, not at all." The little guy leaned against Yun Chu and said, "I'm only five years old and still a child. I'm scared to live alone. I want to sleep with my mother."
Chu Changsheng nodded: "Today...my brother and I are here to sleep."
Chu Yi's face turned dark and he was about to speak.
Yun Chu hugged the two children and said, "Okay, I will sleep with mother tonight."
"What about me?" Chu Yi asked with a dark face, "Where should I sleep?"
"Oh, Father, you can sleep anywhere." Chu Hongyu tilted her head and said, "If you really don't have a place to sleep, then go sleep in my yard. Aunt Zheng said my yard is in the Star Gazing Pavilion."
Chu Yi: "..."
Yun Chu couldn't help but laugh.
Under the service of Tingxue and Tingfeng, Yunchu quickly got dressed.
The two led the two children into the palace to express their gratitude.
The carriage quickly arrived at the gate of the palace. Concubine Yin specially arranged a sedan for the two children to sit on. First, she went to Kunning Palace to express her gratitude.
With a gentle smile on her face, the queen drank the tea offered by Yun Chu, and then gave her the reward within the regulations.
"Thank you, Queen."
Yun Chufu accepted the reward, took a pair of shoes from the maid, and gave them to the queen.
The queen looked at it and expressed that she liked it very much.
This was just a formality, and the two parties were having a good time talking.
After that, it was time to go to Concubine Yin’s Changqiu Palace to pay her respects.
Just as he was about to leave, a burst of crying came from outside the hall.
"Empress, you have to let Lao Liu make the decision..." Concubine Yuan walked in crying, the makeup on her face was stained from crying, it was obvious that she was not pretending to cry.
The queen saw the seriousness of the situation at a glance and asked hurriedly: "Sister Yuan Fei, what happened?"
"Yesterday, Lao Liu went to Lao San's wedding banquet. When he returned to the palace in the evening, something happened." Concubine Yuan cried out of breath. "I also just got the news. One of Lao Liu's ears was injured alive." Tear it off... Lao Liu is of royal blood, how could anyone dare to attack the royal blood at the feet of the Emperor..."
Chu Hongyu and Chu Changsheng shrank their necks in fear and hid in Yun Chu's arms.
Chu Yi frowned: "The wedding banquet broke up at the end of Youshi last night. The street was still busy at that time. How could such a thing happen?"
The queen's face was very serious: "Concubine Yuan, you go with me to see the emperor."
She is the mother of a country and the legitimate mother of all princes. If something happens to the prince, she cannot escape the blame and must stand up as soon as possible.
Concubine Yuan wiped her tears: "The emperor is in court. If not, I would not have found the queen."
"Then go and wait at the entrance of Jinluan Palace."
The queen stood up and walked out, and Concubine Yuan followed immediately.
Yun Chu and Chu Yi also led their children out of Kunning Palace. On the way to Changqiu Palace, Yun Chu whispered: "What do you think about this matter?"
Chu Yi said slowly: "Lao Liu has a flamboyant temper. In the past, there were palace regulations in the palace. After King Feng moved out of the palace, he often bullied men and dominated women. It is reasonable for him to be retaliated. I don't know who it is. So brave."
Yun Chu nodded: "Something happened to the Sixth Prince Cheng Wang on the day of our wedding banquet. You should come forward to investigate thoroughly."
Chu Yi held her hand tightly: "It's hard to take three days off. During these three days, I will stay with you and nothing will disturb me."
Yun Chu's face suddenly turned red.
When she looked up and arrived at Changqiu Palace, she quickly took her hand out.
