Yu En stood up the moment the Queen Mother spoke, a hint of sternness appeared on his face, and he looked at the two people behind Gu Zhiyin expressionlessly.

The aura of the first eunuch in the harem was instantly grasped.

Queen Mother Qin sat with domineering dignity, staring at Fu Yunjing with sharp eyes.

Fu Yunjing subconsciously reached out and touched the back of his neck.

Hiss, why does it feel so cold?

"Greetings to the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother be blessed with good health and happiness."

Fu Yunyao and Fu Yunjing knelt down together and paid their respects to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother nodded calmly: "No need to be polite."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

The two of them stood up one after another.

The Queen Mother glanced at Fu Yunjing sideways, then looked at Fu Yunyao, her cold expression slightly relaxed: "It's Yunhua, I haven't seen you for many years, you have grown so beautiful."

Yunhua is Fu Yunyao's title.

She was flattered by the intimacy in the Queen Mother's tone: "Queen Mother, you are so kind. Yunhua is unworthy of it."

"Sit down and talk, Yu En, bring the tea." said the Queen Mother.

Yu En responded and went out of the house to make tea.

Fu Yunyao sat down aside, and Fu Yunjing followed suit.

The Queen Mother secretly cast a look of disdain at him.

When I think about what I just heard about Fu Yunjing's romantic affairs, it is really annoying no matter how I look at it.

Yu En quickly brought the tea and tactfully gave the first cup to Gu Zhiyin.

The Queen Mother's favorite "granddaughter" must be served well.

Then it was given to Fu Yunyao and Fu Yunjing.

The two men did not think there was anything wrong. Moreover, even though they were of noble status, they did not dare to look down on the eunuchs around the empress dowager.

The empress dowager had met Fu Yunyao when she was young, so she naturally had an impression of her. The empress dowager was also aware of the bad things that the Ji family had done, so when she saw Fu Yunyao this time, she comforted her.

Soon, there was a knock at the door, and Mother Yang said outside the door: "Princess, dinner is ready."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yunyao stood up and said, "Queen Mother, we will take our leave first."

The Queen Mother looked at her and said, "Since you are here, let's eat together."

Fu Yunyao: “No…”

"You shall not disobey my orders." The Queen Mother stood up and said in a very domineering manner.

This is not the palace, there are not so many rules.

What's more, it was Yinyin's yard. If she drove people away at dinner time, wouldn't that be embarrassing for Yinyin?

"Yes, Queen Mother." Fu Yunyao responded obediently.

The Queen Mother walked out of the house and paused when she passed by Fu Yunliying: "You should stay and join us."

Fu Yunjing: “…”

Oh, so when you, Your Majesty, said we should eat together, you didn’t include me at all?

There was also a tone of disgust and reluctance.

How reluctant I was to invite him to dinner.

Knock! So angry.

But I didn't dare to speak.

Yu En helped the Queen Mother to go to the flowers.

Fu Yunjing walked with Gu Zhiyin at the end and couldn't help asking, "Does the Queen Mother have any problem with me?"

Gu Zhiyin turned her head and looked at him with a puzzled look: "No, how did you know that?"

Fu Yunjing frowned, wanting to say that he felt it everywhere.

"Don't worry, Prince. The Queen Mother is just not good at expressing herself. She is actually a very kind person." Gu Zhiyin said.

Fu Yunjing's mouth twitched slightly, and he muttered quietly: "That's for you, right?"

Not everyone has the courage to dine at the same table with the Queen Mother.

Gu Zhiyin had recovered from the initial shock of learning her identity.

In addition, the Queen Mother loved Gu Zhiyin, so when facing her, she always restrained her sharpness and edge, just like an ordinary kind old lady, so Gu Zhiyin could respect and love her as her grandmother without any pressure.

Although Fu Yunyao was nervous, the Queen Mother did not use the rules to pressure her, nor did she show any dissatisfaction towards her, so she was able to eat well.

But Fu Yunjing felt like he was having his last meal before execution.

After finishing the meal, he felt completely exhausted.

The next day, the Queen Mother moved into Yunting Courtyard with Yu En. Gu Zhiyin transferred Ruyi and Zhuqi to serve them. Zhuqi knew martial arts and could protect the Queen Mother at any time.

Although there will be no danger in Pingyang Palace.

Yunting Courtyard is not big, but it is exquisite and elegant.

Gu Zhiyin accompanied the Queen Mother to look around so that she could make timely changes if there was anything inappropriate.

The Queen Mother had nothing to be dissatisfied with. It was just a temporary stay. Could she really ask the Prince of Pingyang's Mansion to build a Cining Palace for her?

Besides, it was her granddaughter who ordered people to clean it up, so even if it became a rotten doghouse, she couldn't bear to say no.

At this time, Mother Qin walked into the yard with several maids.

"Greetings to the Madam." When outside, Mother Qin always followed Yu En's address.

The Queen Mother nodded at her.

"The old princess was afraid that the young maids would be clumsy, so she specially ordered me to serve them." Mother Qin grinned and said, "These are the maids of Chaohui Hall. They come here every day to clean the courtyard, so I brought them here to pay my respects to the Madam."

"Greetings, Madam." After Mother Qin finished speaking, the maids all bowed.

The Queen Mother raised her hand and motioned for them to stand up.

Yu En took a step forward, blocking half of the Queen Mother's body, and looked at Mother Qin as if she were facing a great enemy: "Madam, I have servants to serve you here, so we don't need you."

Humph, he already knew everything. This Qin Caiyin originally worked for the empress dowager. What does she want to do by serving the empress dowager?

Ah, someone is trying to shake his position as the Queen Mother's number one servant.

My uncle can tolerate it, but my aunt can’t.

Mother Qin's eyes fell lightly on Yu En's broken arm, and then she raised an eyebrow at him.

The meaning is clearly: How can a servant like you with half an arm and a disabled body serve the empress dowager?

Yu En's face suddenly turned dark: Killing someone and destroying his heart is too much.

"By the way, as a servant, it's not appropriate for Yu En to stay in the backyard all the time. Manager Zheng has arranged a room for him in the front yard and assigned a few servants to serve him so that he can recover from his injuries in peace."

People who knew the situation knew that Yu En was a eunuch and there was no strict separation between men and women, but no one in the palace knew about it. When they saw such an old man staying in the backyard all day, they thought it was ridiculous.

Yu En: “…”

a bolt from the blue.

He knew that this girl had bad intentions and was trying to get him away from the Queen Mother so that she could take over her position and monopolize her favor.

Queen Mother: This stupid servant really doesn’t want it for a moment!

The Queen Mother understood what Mother Qin meant and allowed Yu En to move to the front yard without any objection.

Yu En walked away bitterly: So love will disappear, right?

The Queen Mother lived in the Prince of Pingyang's Palace like this. She had no endless memorials to review, no intrigues in the court, and no missions for the family that almost suffocated her. She enjoyed the rare quiet time.

The old princess would also come to pay her respects to the Queen Mother every day, bringing Fu Yunyao with her.

Regardless of whether the Queen Mother liked to see her or not, she was reluctant to see her because she had to remember the rules.

Fu Yunjing lived in the front yard and went to the academy every day. He didn't need to see the empress dowager every day, which made him feel relieved.
