"I will go into the palace with you."
Princess Qinghua came with her servants.
When the princess travels, it's a grand occasion, with several maids and wives.
Yunchu saw a familiar face among the pedestrians, it was Ding Dong.
Ding Dong stood in the front of the maids. It seemed that he had become a first-class maid next to Qinghua.
Princess Qinghua spoke to Yunchu and got into her carriage.
The carriage drove towards the palace, not far away, and arrived in a short time. Because Yun Chu was pregnant, Chu Yi specially requested the emperor's order to allow Yun Chu to ride in a sedan when he entered the palace to pay his respects, so as to avoid any accidents.
Yun Chu cherishes his own body and will certainly not refuse.
Seeing her getting off the carriage and sitting on the sedan, Princess Qinghua couldn't help but twitch the corners of her lips.
She didn't understand why her cold and aloof brother doted on Yun Chu so much without being afraid of being laughed at.
The two children also sat in the sedan with Yun Chu, and soon they arrived at Changqiu Palace. Yun Chu led the children down and waited for Princess Qinghua for a while.
A group of people walked in together.
"Brother Yu, Chang Sheng, you two come here obediently." Concubine Yin said with a smile on her face, "Grandma Huang specially prepared a birthday gift for you. Come and see if you like it?"
Most of the gifts given by Concubine Yin were good things from her own warehouse. The two children didn't know how precious those gold, silver and jade articles were, so they looked at them for a while and then played with them.
"Why didn't you bring Brother Shen into the palace with you?" Concubine Yin asked with a smile, "Let Brother Shen choose a few things."
"He just knows how to read. He really wants to become a nerd." Qinghua was complaining, but in fact he was showing off. "He was afraid that he would be compared to others when he went to the Imperial College after the new year, so he studied until very late every day."
"Don't read too much into your eyes." Concubine Yin said distressedly, "Last time I went south to pay tribute to some high-quality candles, I will ask the emperor for some to give to Brother Shen later."
Qinghua thanked him, coughed and said, "Chu'er is pregnant, but my mother and concubine didn't feel sorry for Chu'er."
Yun Chu pointed his fingers.
She already knew what Qinghua was going to do.
However, Concubine Yin misunderstood and said, "Mother Guo, I have ginseng, Ganoderma and Cordyceps in my warehouse. Choose the best ones and bring them."
Qinghua's lips twitched.
After giving various medicinal materials to Yun Chu, she finally spoke: "Mother concubine, what I mean is that it would be too hard for Chu'er to take care of Yi'er when she is pregnant."
Concubine Yin understood now.
As a prince, in addition to the main concubine, he must also have side concubines and concubines. This is a rule that a prince should have.
After Chu Yi got married, Concubine Yin selected several palace maids and prepared to find a suitable opportunity to give them to her. Didn't the opportunity come now?
"That's right." Concubine Yin looked at Yun Chu with a smile, "I heard that Yi'er has been staying in your room recently. This can't be done. You are the legitimate son of the prince, so you have to be careful about everything. So, I I will give you four maids, and they will take care of Yi'er's daily life."
Qinghua smiled.
It was said that if the elders gave it to someone, they would not dare to refuse. If their mother and concubine gave it to someone else, she did not believe that Yun Chu dared to refuse.
Yun Chu asked slowly: "There are several types of people who serve. May I ask what kind of service my concubine is talking about?"
Concubine Yin said with a smile on her face: "Of course, let them be Yi'er's roommates. There are more than four arranged at the moment. You can see which one is suitable and give her an identity first."
"Daughter-in-law, I dare to ask again." Yun Chu continued, "The mother-in-law asks them to be the girls in the palace's backyard. Are the four of them willing?"
"Look at what you said. It's a great blessing for a palace maid to be able to serve the prince closely." Concubine Yin took Yun Chu's hand, "As for the concubine, I think you should choose it, how about it?"
As a mother-in-law, she thought she had done a good job and gave Yun Chu the right to choose the concubine.
Looking at other people, any prince whose concubine is not personally selected by his mother-in-law, based on family status, family background, and character, will not respect the princess's opinion at all.
Yunchu lowered his eyes.
First Princess Qinghua intervened in these matters, then her mother-in-law, then maybe the queen, and finally the emperor might also get involved.
Chu Yi's identity is destined to prevent him from escaping this.
It would not be the best idea for her to keep refusing.
We should think of a way to make these people retreat.
There is no need for her to think of any solution.
Whoever caused the trouble will handle it.
Yunchu said: "Then please ask the mother-in-law to let the maids in, and the daughter-in-law can take a look."
Princess Qinghua pulled her lips.
Look, Yunchu didn't dare to refuse the gift from his mother-in-law.
Sure enough, we still have to rely on the elders to cure it.
Aunt Guo came in from the door with four maids. They were all beautiful and in their most glorious years.
Yun Chu looked at the four of them and said, "Even if the prince chooses only one of you to be his concubine, or none of you, do you still want to enter Prince Pingxi's palace?"
The four maids bowed their knees at the same time and said: "It is an honor for me to serve the prince. I am willing to obey the princess's instructions."
Yun Chu nodded: "Then follow me into the palace later."
"That's it." Qinghua said slowly, "Chu'er has accepted these four, and one more won't be much."
Yun Chu smiled slightly: "Second sister, do you want to give it to someone?"
Qinghua Shiran nodded: "Ding Dong is your grandma's daughter. She has served Yi'er since she was a child, so she will serve her even more devotedly. What do you think, concubine?"
Concubine Yin always felt that something was not good.
It doesn't sound good no matter how you say it, your eldest aunt has stuffed people into your brother's room.
Yun Chu nodded directly: "Second Sister, if there are others you want to give to, please give them all this time. I will accept them all."
Qinghua smiled. Once he was in front of the elders, Yunchu became easy to handle.
She took a sip of tea and said, "Five concubines are enough. The backyard of the palace is too empty. You have to put more thought into choosing your concubines."
Concubine Yin glared at Qinghua and signaled not to go too far.
Next, Yunchu drank tea lightly, and after lunch, he took the children and the five gifted women back to the palace.
Ding Dong stood among the five of them. His appearance was not the most outstanding, but his face was the most confident.
She was glad that she had taken the right path, borrowing Princess Qinghua and being given it to the prince in the name of Concubine Yin. In this way, the princess could not refuse.
And since she had a relationship with the prince in the past, she would definitely be able to win the prince's favor earlier than these four maids.
After she has established a firm foothold in the palace and becomes the prince's favored concubine, she must persuade the prince to take her mother back to the capital.
Yun Chu and the two children were sitting in the carriage. Chu Hongyu groaned: "I hate my father the most."
Yunchu asked: "Why?"
The little guy pursed his lips and said, "Father won't buy me crickets."
Yun Chu laughed: "There are no crickets in the winter. When the weather gets hot, Mom will take you to buy them."
After getting off the carriage and returning to the yard, Chu Changsheng took his brother and asked secretly: "My brother definitely doesn't hate my father because of crickets. Why?"
"Chang Sheng, remember, if my father gives birth to younger brothers and sisters with another woman, we will never care about him again." Chu Hongyu gritted his teeth and said, "If he dares to treat my mother badly, we will not give him anything." Retirement and death.”
Chang Sheng nodded: "I listen to my brother."
When Chu Yi returned home, he felt that the two children looked at him with daggers in their eyes.
