After hearing this, Ali asked Chu Chi to kneel down to Qi Yuning and thank him. Qi Yuning saw Chu Chi who was kneeling and kowtowing, and said softly: "Get up, there are many rules after entering the palace, but the only word you remember is loyalty, loyalty to His Majesty, do you understand?" Chu Chi looked at little Zhao Jie and said, "Are you listening to your Majesty's words and protecting your Majesty?" Qi Yuning nodded and said, "Yes." Chu Chi responded with a smile: "Don't worry, Princess, I will take good care of your Majesty and listen to your Majesty's words." Qi Yuning spent a day shopping with Zhao Jie today. When she returned to the room, she felt that her legs were not hers, and she didn't know where these children had the energy to go so far. Lu Ze pinched Qi Yuning's calf, "After giving birth to Lingling, your physical strength has deteriorated a lot." Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze angrily and said, "My poor physical strength is not because of Lingling, but because of you." Lu Ze smiled lightly, "Why did you think of letting Chu Chi join the Shang Palace Bureau?" Qi Yuning said: "Your Majesty will be in charge after he marries his wife. When the time comes, I need a trustworthy person in the harem who can protect the peace of your harem.
The Empress Dowager Zhou had no hope. She could only support a Shang Gong herself. The Shang Gong was already forty-three now and would have to retire in another seven years at most. " Lu Ze said: "Chu Chi is indeed a good candidate. He is very responsible at a young age and will definitely be able to assist the new queen well in the future." Qi Yuning also rubbed her calves and said, "The Chu family head just said that he was not the fiancée of Miss Tuesday..." Before Qi Yuning finished speaking, Xiaoman hurriedly came in and said, "Princess, it's not good, it's not good." Lu Ze withdrew the hand that was knocking Qi Yuning's leg, frowned at Xiao Man and said, "Who allowed you to break in without being informed?" "I'm sure." Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "Stop scaring my maid, Xiaoman, what's wrong?" Xiao Man said repeatedly: "Princess, there are rumors outside that Miss Tuesday and the prince spent a night together in a cave. Girl Tuesday's fiancé also broke off their engagement with Miss Tuesday because of this." Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "Just as you guessed, this matter has really been spread." Lu Ze said softly: "Now we can only see what the Queen Mother means." Qi Yuning said: "What if the Queen Mother wants the Lu family to be responsible for letting Lu Yun marry Zhou Jiamin as Lu Yun's concubine?" Lu Ze sighed deeply and said, "The only way is to obey the Queen Mother's will." Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said angrily: "If Lu Yun breaks the precedent of your Lu family not to take concubines, there will be an endless stream of courtiers who will send you beauties in the future like crucian carp crossing the river." Lu Ze said: "There is another good way to get the best of both worlds, that is, Lu Yun and Shen Nian reconcile and marry Zhou Jiamin as the princess. I think Zhou Jiamin is much better than Shen Nian, just because she is willing to risk her life to help Lu Yun take drugs." , it can be seen that she is a loving and righteous woman.” Qi Yuning sighed deeply. Lu Yun in the courtyard. Shen Nian knelt in front of the Buddha and copied Buddhist scriptures devoutly. When she saw the bright sky outside, she realized that another night had passed. She stood up and walked to Lu Yun's ward. Seeing the sleepy Lu Yun, when she was about to give Lu Yun medicine, Qiu Yue hurriedly came in and said: "Princess, the Queen Mother sent a palace official to convey the message, please go to the palace." Shen Nian said: "I'll dress up." Entering the palace to meet the Queen Mother, Shen Nianqiang put on makeup, hoping to make his face look better.
After entering the palace, Shen Nian saluted to the Queen Mother Zhou in front of her and said, "I'm here to see the Queen Mother." Empress Dowager Zhou raised her hand and said, "Without ceremony, please come down and give me a seat." After Shen Nian took the seat, she thanked her profusely, "Thank you, Empress Dowager." Empress Dowager Zhou saw Shen Nian, who was still looking good, and said, "How is Prince Lu's health?" Shen Nian sighed and said, "Still unconscious." Empress Dowager Zhou worriedly said: "It's already the sixth day, why are you still asleep? Did the imperial doctor say anything?" Shen Nian said: "The imperial doctor only said to take the antidote first and wait for the prince to wake up on his own." Empress Dowager Zhou sighed and said: "How could you have been sleeping for so long? Have you ever asked the gods?" Shen Nian shook his head and said, "Not really." Empress Dowager Zhou turned the Buddhist beads in her hand and said, "There are rumors going around that my niece was annulled by her fiance because she saved Prince Lu. Have you heard about it?" Shen Nian raised his eyes and looked at Queen Mother Zhou, shook his head and said, "No." Empress Dowager Zhou held the Buddhist beads tightly and said, "My niece saved Prince Lu and lost her reputation. In both emotional and rational terms, the Lu family has to take responsibility for me, Jiamin. Now that Yun'er is still unconscious, it's better to Letting Jiamin be Yun'er's concubine is considered a happy occasion." Shen Nian said: "It's wrong to let Miss Zhou become the concubine of the county prince. I am willing to give up the position of the county prince's concubine to her." When Empress Dowager Zhou heard what Shen Nian said, she remembered what Qi Yuning had said before. The subsequent commotion made Zhou Jiayun unable to behave as a human being. Empress Dowager Zhou could get used to Qi Yuning, but not Shen Nian and said, "If you don't want to, just do it." Just say it." Shen Nian whispered: "Empress Dowager, I am sincere. I have conquered my father and mother since I was a child, and when I grew up, I conquered the first husband. The Huang family was ruined, so I voluntarily left Lu Yun's." Empress Dowager Zhou didn't look like she was faking when she looked at Shen Nian. A closer look showed that she wasn't like Qi Yuning, who deliberately made reconciliation difficult for the Zhou family. Empress Dowager Zhou could not help but feel a little more pity when she looked at Shen Nian. She was also a widowed woman, but due to her niece's future reputation, Empress Dowager Zhou could only feel wronged by Shen Nian and said, "You can go back first." After Shen Nian came out of the palace, he fainted on the ground with all his strength. Qiuyue on the side kept supporting Shen Nian and said, "Princess Princess." Shen Nian pushed himself up and saw steamed buns being sold on the street again, so he bought a steamed bun with red bean paste to eat. The red bean paste was so sweet that it was cloying, but Shen Nian, who had not eaten for several days, still forcefully ate it. After all, there is still a battle to be fought when I go back and ask to leave the Lu Mansion. …… In the Lu Mansion of Chang'an. Qi Yuning took care of the Qi family's account books and went to see Lu Yun with Lingling in her arms. It was already the sixth day. If Lu Yun didn't wake up again, Qi Yuning would inevitably become anxious. At Lu Yun's door, Qi Yuning saw two rude-looking maids. They wanted to stop Qi Yuning from entering, but they did not stop him. Qi Yuning entered Lu Yun's room and saw Zhou Jiamin holding a bowl of medicine in his hand. He took a sip and leaned down to press Lu Yun's thin lips. Qi Yuning was so shocked that he even covered Lingling's eyes, and then gave Lingling to Vernal Equinox, letting Vernal Equinox carry Lingling out. Qi Yuning walked inside, frowned at Zhou Jiamin and said, "Miss Tuesday, what are you doing?" When Zhou Jiamin saw Qi Yuning, the medicine bowl in her hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces, "County, Princess..." Qi Yuning looked at Zhou Jiamin and said, "I just pretend that I don't know about this matter today and haven't seen it. My maid will also be tight-lipped. I hope that Miss Tuesday will know the etiquette and be more polite!"
Zhou Jiamin blushed extremely and said: "When I came, Princess Baozhu was giving medicine to Prince Lu. Prince Lu had difficulty drinking the medicine. Princess Baozhu said that it was the princess who fed him the medicine herself, but Princess No one was seen early in the morning. So...I was afraid of delaying the time of taking the medicine, so I took advantage of the orb to leave...I..."
