Chapter 260
Author: Qing Yunmo
The only explanation is that Wan Meiren has placed someone in the Queen Mother's palace, and this person tells the Eighth Prince something about his biological mother Wan Meiren every day.
That's why a child at such a young age has to make noises all day long and must have his biological mother.
Yun Zhao stopped and reached out to pick up a flower that was in full bloom. These flowers were well taken care of. She walked a few steps forward and sat down in the pavilion.
A palace maid came over to wait on her. Yun Zhao waved her hand and said, "No need to come over. I'll just sit down for a while and then leave."
Yun Zhao didn't ask Qiu Yue to fan her, so she took out a small bamboo fan from her sleeve.
The bamboo fan was previously soaked in water with mint leaves. Now when I fan it gently, I feel a refreshing feeling.
The hot weather also has its advantages. The concubines in the harem are all huddled in the palace and are too lazy to come out. In addition, the emperor rarely enters the harem during this time, so it is very quiet here.
Qiuyue had been thinking about what happened in the Queen Mother's Palace along the way. When she stood still in the pavilion, she really figured it out.
No matter what, the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother after all, and Wanmei is just a little beauty. How could she extend her hand into the Queen Mother's Palace?
She doesn't have the ability either, unless someone helps her.
But in the harem, who would have the courage to help a beauty go against the Queen Mother?
Those who have this ability can only be concubines in high positions, but these concubines in high positions are not idle and have nothing to do. They find their lives too boring and find something to do for themselves, right?
Even if you are looking for something to do, you won't risk offending the Queen Mother, right?
After Qiuyue denied this guess, she directly targeted a person.
His Majesty.
Only he has the courage and ability to do so without worrying about offending the Queen Mother.
But... Qiuyue thought about it and still didn't understand.
First, he sent the Eighth Prince to the Queen Mother's Palace, and then encouraged Wanmei to go to the Queen Mother's Palace to win over the Eighth Prince.
Wanmei is making trouble in Cuiwei Palace, and the Eighth Prince is making trouble in the Queen Mother's Palace. Both parties are uneasy.
Why does this sound like you are looking for something to do?
As expected, Yun Zhao just sat in the pavilion for a while, then got up and prepared to go back.
On the way, I happened to meet the emperor who came to the harem.
Yun Zhao got out of the way and bowed his head in salute. The emperor caught a glimpse of him from the corner of his eye, frowned and said nothing.
Qiuyue was still stuck in her thoughts just now, and when she saw the emperor, she suddenly became stiff.
"Go back first." Yun Zhao glanced not far away and said.
The emperor went to see the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother couldn't bear it, so she asked the Emperor to come over.
Her original intention was to let the emperor see how disobedient and noisy the eighth prince was, so that the emperor would know how difficult it was for her and take the eighth prince away.
The Queen Mother thought very well, but the reality was somewhat different from what she thought.
For example, the eighth prince became well-behaved as soon as he saw the emperor coming.
He didn't cry and said anything, but he looked at the Queen Mother eagerly and said in front of the emperor that he was troubling the Queen Mother by staying here these days.
The Queen Mother had been wearing a mask all her life. This was the first time she was tricked by a junior who was only taller than her knees. She was so shocked that she couldn't even close her jaw.
In this way, she could only follow what she said, that the Eighth Prince was very well-behaved.
The emperor was naturally satisfied after seeing this. He waved to the eighth prince and held him in his arms.
The Queen Mother was filled with confusion and wanted to find an excuse to leave, but this was her palace, where could she go?
She could only wait for the father and son to finish their show of affection between father and son, and then let her grandma take them down.
Waiting for the emperor to leave, the Queen Mother looked at the Eighth Prince with something wrong in her eyes.
At a young age, he still had two faces, and it was as if he was born with them.
This kind of person either has great potential, or he is just a villain.
No matter which one it is, it's best not to mess with her.
The Queen Mother felt as if she had spilled a bowl of coptis water, and she could not be more miserable. Seeing that the Eighth Prince refused to follow him to the side hall, she could only brace herself and listen to his noises here.
Here in Yunzhao, as soon as she returned to Fanghua Palace, she heard that a lady was meeting her at the gate of the palace.
After hearing the name, she couldn't figure out who it was for a moment, "Bring the person here."
A quarter of an hour later, a lady with gorgeous clothes and an emerald headband in her bun walked in slowly.
Yun Zhao felt a little hot looking at her outfit.
Qiuyue has already greeted the little palace maid to bring tea and snacks.
The lady came over first to salute, and then revealed her identity, saying that she was Mrs. Gu Chen, Mrs. Ning Yuanbo.
Yun Zhao was not used to being called like this, so he said, "I wonder what Mrs. Gu is here for?"
Mrs. Gu Chen looked at the furnishings in the Fanghua Hall and said softly, "The Crown Princess may not know it, but in fact, I have some relationship with the Ling family, but the relationship is far away."
Yun Zhao raised his eyes, "Ling family?"
Mrs. Gu Chen smiled slightly, "It's the Ling family of Yun Guo."
Probably knowing that Yun Zhao was unclear, Gu Chen explained the marriage relationship.
After listening, Yun Zhao nodded, then said nothing and waited for Gu Chen to continue speaking.
As Gu Chen said, this in-law relationship is indeed far enough that it takes five generations to count, not to mention how long the gap is.
Of course, these are not the main point. Yun Zhao would not think that this lady came to the palace just to meet her and renew the relationship between relatives.
However, Mrs. Gu Chen only smiled and asked with concern about Yun Zhao's current situation, and then talked about Xiao Yandi and praised him a few times. Then she didn't stay much and asked to leave very knowingly.
Yun Zhao would not leave the person behind, but asked two palace men to take the person to the palace gate.
Su Xi walked over from outside and wondered, "If she is related to the Ling family, someone should come to tell the Crown Princess when she is in Yun Kingdom."
"Maybe the in-law relationship is so far away that people can't even remember it," Yun Zhao said.
She didn't take this little thing to heart. She just picked up the book and thought about the private visit incognito.
When Xiao Changyin came back and she was in a daze on the couch, she said something by the way.
"Uncle Ning Yuan?"
Yun Zhao came back to his senses and rubbed his stiff wrist, "What's wrong with Uncle Ning Yuan?"
Xiao Changyin spoke carefully, "Two days ago, Uncle Ning Yuan stopped me after the morning court and invited me over for dinner."
Yun Zhao: "Eat?"
She was thinking more, and felt that Uncle Ning Yuan probably wanted to stand in the prince's boat, but if he did it so obviously, wouldn't he be afraid of being accused of forming a clique for personal gain?
Xiao Changyin coughed lightly and looked at Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao was touched by the sight and asked, "What's wrong?"
Seeing that she didn't understand, Xiao Changyin could only say helplessly, "The problem is that this meal is a banquet for one of Uncle Ning Yuan's daughters."
Yun Zhao suddenly realized that half of her guesses were right. Ning Yuanbo really wanted to stand in the prince's boat, but the process was different from what she had imagined.
Xiao Changyin saw that she was just shocked and didn't express much, so he couldn't help but stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek, "Zhaozhao, what are you doing?"
Yun Zhao looked at him respectfully for a while, then nodded vigorously, "Yes."
