Ever since there was a little prince in Qingluan Hall, Concubine Yuan Gui came more frequently. Sometimes at dawn, she would just put down her chopsticks and people would arrive soon after.

"What does Concubine Yuan do with Beibei every day?"

Bi Xiu said: "Miss Hui, Yuan Gui and his concubines mostly accompany Bei Bei and chat about the Four Books and Five Classics, and there are some strange things.

The story is very interesting to me, slave."

Chu Yunning's eyebrows furrowed when he heard this: "What stories are they telling? Let's hear them."

"There is a story called Kong Rong Rangli, Leaving the Cauldron, and the Legend of the New White Snake..."

Every time Bixiu said a word, Chu Yunning's face darkened.

"Yesterday, Concubine Yuan also talked about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Miss, Concubine Yuan is really knowledgeable."

Chu Yunning pursed her lips tightly and already had a bold guess in her mind.

Yuan Guifei may have traveled through time just like herself.

"Chu Shanggong, we are disturbing you again." Concubine Yuan Gui smiled slightly at Chu Yunning, holding two boxes of white jade chess pieces in her hand.

"Concubine Yuan Gui, what is this?"

"When I was at home, my master taught me some new things. I had nothing to do, so I asked Beibei to come and play."

Chu Yunning raised her eyebrows and became interested: "I happen to have nothing to do this morning. Concubine Yuan, don't you mind if I come and take a look?"

"Of course I don't mind." Yuan Guibi narrowed her eyes and smiled.

Beibei heard Yuan Guifei's voice and ran over impatiently, smiling sweetly at Chu Yuning: "Mother!"

The three of them sat down in the pavilion, and Bi Xiu brought some fruits. Concubine Yuan Gui added, "I just saw that the little prince has gained some weight, so it's hard for Chu Shang Palace to worry about it."

"Bixiu and the nanny are taking care of her. I just go and check on her twice a day. It's not hard work."

Chu Yunning was holding a cup of iced milk tea with some jam added into it. It was sour and sweet and very appetizing. It just penetrated the heart and spleen and tasted great.

"Chu Shang Palace, the cook at my house will select several seasonal fruits and pound them, filter the residue, mix it with some honey and water, and put it in the ice cellar for a few hours. When it is taken out, it will be frozen and formed, which is called cool.

" Yuan Guifei said.

Isn't this just a popsicle?

Chu Yunning became more and more convinced that Yuan Guifei had traveled through time.

"Concubine Yuan Gui, it's really a blessing. I'll let someone try this method later."

"I just love eating and playing. Don't take offense to Chu Shang Palace." Yuan Guifei looked shy.

Chu Yunning smiled slightly without revealing it, but when she saw Yuan Guibi teaching Beibei how to play backgammon, she became a little uneasy.

"There are three directions: horizontally, vertically and diagonally. If you connect five pieces in any direction, you win."

Beibei nodded and eagerly grabbed a chess piece and dropped it onto the chessboard.

The two of them went back and forth, and soon Beibei mastered the essence of it, gained the upper hand with his intelligence, and won several times in one go.

Concubine Yuan Gui said with a smile: "Beibei is so smart, I feel ashamed."

"It's all good teachings from Concubine Yuan." Beibei smiled brightly.

It can be seen that he is in a good mood today.

"Miss, the little prince suddenly couldn't stop crying, and I really can't coax him." Bixiu rushed over anxiously.

"Chu Shang Palace, I am here. Go and see the young prince." Concubine Yuan Gui said.

Hearing this, Chu Yunning nodded, stood up and went to the inner hall. The little prince cried at the top of his lungs, his face turned red from holding back, and he even refused to eat milk.

"Lord Shang Gong, the slaves have been eating very lightly these days. I would never dare to neglect the little prince. Please spare the slaves."

The nannies were frightened. This was a golden lump that could not be touched. Any carelessness would be a serious crime of beheading.

Chu Yunning checked the little prince and found that it was due to colic, not the nannies' fault.

"Everyone, please get up. The room must be kept dry and ventilated. Don't cover the little prince's heat. If the little prince cries again, use a hot compress made with mugwort and fried eggs for a stick of incense."

She made a simple recipe for making mugwort omelette, and then hugged the little prince in a gesture of a plane hug.

The wet nurses looked at each other. They had never given birth before, and they had never seen such a novel way of raising children.

"yes."

The little prince slowly stopped crying in Chu Yunning's arms, sobbed and twisted twice, and fell asleep with a groan.

"Chu Shanggong is really amazing. The servants have been coaxing him for a long time without stopping."

The nannies all gave a thumbs up in admiration.

Chu Yunning returned the little prince to the nanny, and when he looked up, someone came from Chu Xiu Palace.

"Lord Shang Gong, Mrs. Chu Second, please go there immediately."

I have been so busy these past few days that I almost forgot about Mrs. Lin and took some time to visit Guiren Chu.

Chu Guiren's injury has healed more than half, but he is still unable to get out of bed and move around. He lies on the couch and needs help from others to eat, drink and relieve himself.

Seeing Chu Yunning, Chu Guiren became a little excited. Under Mrs. Lin's pressure, Chu Guiren reluctantly forced out a smile and reluctantly called out: "Sister."

Chu Yunning gave a faint hum and looked at Lin again.

"Sister Ning, before, the Chu nobles were young and ignorant. We are all a family, and we will have someone to take care of us in the palace."

Lin had already suffered a lot in the palace these days, so she didn't want to offend Chu Yunning, so she had no choice but to give in.

"How did Second Aunt think about what I said before?"

Mrs. Lin had been thinking about the separation of the family for a long time, but she was not willing to accept that her daughter would never succeed, so she gritted her teeth and decided to give it a try.

"Does what you said before count?"

"Don't worry, Second Aunt, I will definitely make Lady Chu favor you, take good care of her body, and strive to give birth to a prince as soon as possible."

"There is no proof for what I say. I have to see Chu Guiren's child be born safely..." Mrs. Lin has already thought about it. When Chu Guiren gives birth to a child, it won't be too late for her to mention the separation of the family.

Chu Yunning raised her eyebrows and sneered: "Second Aunt, please don't take advantage of me and act like a good girl. The separation of the family is certain, it's just a matter of time. Since we can't reach an agreement, that's it."

Chu Yunning turned around and was about to leave. The next second, Mrs. Lin chased after her and pulled her arm: "Look, I was just talking casually for fun. When I get back, I will mention it to my grandmother and invite the clan leader as soon as possible."

Make arrangements to move.”

"Well, the day of separation is the day when noble Chu will be favored. Second Aunt, please don't challenge my patience."

Chu Yunning raised the corners of her lips slightly, glanced at Guiren Chu lying on the couch, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and put it down.

"This is medicine for removing scars. The emperor likes concubines with skin as smooth as gelatin. This bottle of medicine is worth a lot of money. For the sake of my fellow sisters, I will only help you once!"

Chu Guiren was surprised and happy when he took the medicine. He thanked her repeatedly and did not dare to express any opinions.

That's because Chu Guiren believes that Chu Yunning really dares to be rude to him.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Chu Yunning walked away with a puff of his sleeves.

"Daughter, you are no match for Chu Yunning. Stand firm first and talk about the rest later." Lin advised.

Chu Guiren curled his lips.

"She is different now than before. The emperor trusts her and even entrusts her to raise the only little prince. You have been beaten like this. Does it mean that the emperor has asked a question?"

Mrs. Lin has already seen the situation clearly after a few days here, and now she can't offend Chu Yunning.

"That's because the emperor doesn't favor me." Chu Guiren didn't think Chu Yunning was very capable. Emperor Mingwen gave the young prince to her only because she knew medical skills, nothing more.

"Who among the concubines in the harem won't fawn over Chu Yunning? What will happen if you go against her? Even the queen is grounded. While she still misses the Chu family, you must not be confused again."

Mrs. Lin regrets that her intestines are green now. She should not have sent Chu Zhen'er into the palace. She was so naive and self-righteous.

The most indispensable thing in the palace is beautiful young concubines, not to mention Chu Zhen'er is not a peerless beauty. If she offends Chu Yunning in the palace, the end will not be easy.

"Mom, if my daughter knows this, she will never go against Chu Yunning in the future."

When she is angry, she will not joke about her future.

Mrs. Lin left the palace worriedly after repeated warnings. It took a lot of effort to coax Mrs. Chu to relax and agree to separate the family.

Mrs. Chu stayed in the first bedroom. This was also a petty move of Lin. Mrs. Chu favored the second bedroom. With Mrs. Chu here, the second bedroom would not suffer.

"Second Madam, Chu Shang Palace sent someone to convey a message, saying that if the eldest lady cannot be the master of the family, it will not be considered a separation of the family."

When Mrs. Lin heard this, she almost became angry and vomited blood. In desperation, she could only grit her teeth and continue to persuade Mrs. Chu. After her words were worn out, she coaxed Mrs. Chu to stay in the second room.

The Chu family's mansion is divided into two parts, with a wall built in the middle. It is divided into two parts, the east and west, with two gates.

Chu Yunning was quite satisfied with the result. At least Mrs. Chu could live her own life peacefully without being bullied anymore.

On the day when the family separation was successful, Chu Yunning specially made some snacks to visit Emperor Mingwen.

"Chu Shanggong, wait a moment, the emperor is still discussing matters." Eunuch Mo looked worried, and Chu Yunning asked curiously: "Is there anything bothering the emperor these past two days?"

"It's not a matter of channels. The court's money for disaster relief is not enough."

Building canals and roads was a waste of time and money, which did not surprise her at all.

After waiting for a long time before being summoned, Emperor Mingwen asked without raising his head: "I have no money to repair the canal. Do you have any ideas?"
