Mingyu nodded, beckoned Yong Cong to come closer, and said with a smile: "You are such a playful child. You want to run out to play in such a cold weather. How about you? Are you having fun?"
"Yeah." Yong Cong nodded happily, and then said: "Tang, E Niang, sugar."
"Okay, I'll let someone get it for you." Without waiting for Mingyu's instructions, someone from the palace went to get the candies. There were osmanthus candies, almond candies, etc., six or seven kinds, but Yong Cong just shook his head.
, kept talking about sweets.
Mingyu hugged him and said, "Yong Cong, please tell me more clearly, what kind of candy do you want?"
Mammy said softly: "Master, what Brother Seventh wants is Dragon Beard Candy, every time... every time..."
Seeing her hesitating, Mingyu said displeasedly: "Go on."
Mammy lowered her head and said, "Every time Brother Seven comes back from... there, he will hold a piece of Dragon Beard Candy in his hand. He likes to eat it very much."
Mingyu's face darkened, and she said to Yong Cong, who was still clamoring for candy, "There are so many candies here, and everything is better than Dragon Beard Candy. Try it and see."
Yong Cong has the nature of a child. If he wants it, he must have it. He couldn't listen to Mingyu's words, shook his head vigorously, and said two words that he said more smoothly, "No!"
Mingyu was already in a bad mood, and he was even more unhappy when he was rejected by Yong Cong. She grabbed his shoulders hard and said sternly: "I said that Dragon Beard Candy is not delicious, but it is not delicious. You are not allowed to eat it again in the future."
!”
Yong Cong felt uncomfortable being held by Mingyu. While struggling, he shouted: "No! I don't want it!"
Mingyu angrily scolded: "You are my son, so you have to listen to me. You can't say no! From now on, you are not allowed to eat her food. Do you remember?!"
Yong Cong was already in pain from being caught by Mingyu, and now he was so severely reprimanded by her. He was hurt and scared. He cried "Wow!" Mingyu shouted: "I asked you not to cry anymore.
Did you hear that?!"
No matter what she said, Yong Cong kept crying, which made Mingyu upset and made him stand on the ground. Yong Cong also became stubborn and swept all the candies placed on the small table by the palace attendant while crying.
On the ground, Mingyu's tea cup was finally knocked over and water splashed all over Mingyu. Ji You quickly stepped forward to wipe the water stains on her clothes. Mingyu stared at Yong Cong who was crying and said angrily.
Speechless.
Mingyu's chest heaved violently, and he said in a cold voice: "You like crying, don't you? Okay, I will let you cry as much as you want. You don't need to eat today."
Mammy cautiously advised: "Master, Brother Seven is still a child, why should you be serious with him?"
Mingyu glared at her fiercely and said, "When will it be your turn to teach me how to do things?"
"Slave, you deserve to die!" Mammy knelt down in a hurry, not daring to say more. When Wei Jingxuan saw this, she scolded: "Bring Seventh Brother down quickly."
Mammy responded obediently. Seeing that Mingyu didn't speak, she quickly carried Yong Cong, whose voice was mute, down. After waiting until the cry could no longer be heard, Wei Jingxuan whispered: "Master, what mama just said is right.
After all, Seventh Brother is still young and ignorant. He only knows how to eat and play. Why are you angry with him?"
Ji Youyi came over and said, "Auntie is right. If the master gets so angry over this, it's not worth it."
Mingyu said angrily: "It was because Yong Lian was close to Nala Xianyue that Fucha Wanxiu found an opportunity to harm him. Now that Yong Cong is like this, how can I not be angry?" She bit.
He gritted his teeth and said, "This is all the Emperor's fault. He took Yong Cong to Yanxi Palace every three days. Isn't it just that his daughter died? What's so big about it? When I lost Yong Lian, I didn't see the Emperor like this."
"Don't worry so much. When Brother Seventh grows up, you can slowly teach him. After all, you are Brother Seventh's biological mother. How can he really get close to others."
Mingyu sighed heavily and said worriedly: "I am really afraid that Yonglian's tragedy will happen again, but Your Majesty... Well, I really don't know what to say."
"We can't rush this matter. Let's just think of a solution slowly. In fact, the problem with Prince Duanhui is that the master didn't take precautions in advance. Otherwise, there would be no chance for Concubine Xian to get close to the prince."
Mingyu looked sad and said: "It's all my fault. It was me who mistakenly believed Nala Xianyue, which gave Fucha Wanxiu the opportunity to kill Yonglian. Looking back, I am really sorry for him."
"It's been such a long time, Master, don't think about it anymore. I believe that the Seventh Prince will have great blessings and will grow up safely."
Wei Jingxuan's words comforted Mingyu a little. She paused for a moment and said, "By the way, how is the poison on your body?"
"Mr. Zhuang has looked at my slave and said that the poisoning is not deep, and she will be fine after taking a few doses of medicine." At this point, Wei Jingxuan said fearfully: "But Dr. Zhuang also said that if the poison is more serious, he would like to remove it again.
It’s difficult.”
Mingyu nodded slightly and said, "Did he ask you how you were poisoned?"
Wei Jingxuan shook her head and said, "Mr. Zhuang just prescribed medicine to this slave and didn't ask any questions."
Most of the imperial doctors in the palace are human beings who know what to ask and what not to ask. Zhuang Zheng was no exception, so except for what should be said, he did not say a word.
Mingyu was about to speak when someone from the palace came to report that Xianyue and Huang were outside asking for a meeting. A trace of disgust flashed across Mingyu's eyes, "Cao Cao will be here soon, he came so fast."
Ji You whispered: "If the master doesn't want to see you, I will send them away and ask them to come back another day."
Mingyu took a deep breath and said: "If you can avoid it for a while, you can't avoid it forever. There will still be dealings with you in the future; besides, avoiding like this makes me seem afraid of them." After a pause, she said to those who were still standing aside.
The palace servant said: "Go and tell them to come in."
The palace attendants left as they were told. Not long after, Xianyue and his wife appeared in the palace and saluted Mingyu together. Behind Xianyue, Aluo was holding a large stack of booklets.
After sitting down, Xianyue leaned forward and said: "I received the emperor's holy instructions and knew that the empress will be in charge of the harem from now on, so I came here to give the empress a book recording the entry and exit of an application in the palace."
Mingyu glanced at Jiyou, who walked over knowingly, took the stack of booklets and put them in Mingyu's hand. Mingyu flipped through them casually and chuckled: "It's been really hard for Concubine Xian these past few years, too.
I am not in good condition, and my health has never been better, and it is only now that I am getting better."
Xianyue lowered her eyes and said: "Your Majesty, you're welcome. These are the duties of concubines and concubines. I believe the harem will be more peaceful and harmonious with your Majesty in charge."
Mingyu glanced at her and raised the corners of his lips slightly, "This is natural, but the noble concubine and concubine Yi must help me wholeheartedly, don't you think so?"
"I will definitely do my best." After Xianyue, Huang also said: "Although my talents are shallow, I will do my best to assist my empress."
