The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

After leaving the palace, Uncle Zhao hurried home in a carriage.

When they arrived at the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, Uncle Zhao jumped down quickly.

The servants looked at their Lord Duke and felt puzzled.

At the same time, he was a little worried, afraid that something big must have happened in the mansion, which made the master so panicked.

Therefore, we become more cautious when doing things.

Uncle Zhao came to the main courtyard, "Where's the Madam?"

The little maid replied, "Madam is in the eldest lady's yard!"

Uncle Zhao sat on the chair and waved his hand, "Quick, go find the lady!"

"Yes, Lord Guo!"

Soon, the second lady came back in a hurry. She waved her hand and said, "All of you go down!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

So, the maids and old women who were originally serving all retreated outside the door.

The Second Madam came to Uncle Zhao and asked, "What's wrong? You went to the palace and came back in such a hurry. What happened?"

Uncle Zhao took a deep breath, "Something big has happened, Big Brother really needs to choose a new Crown Princess for the Crown Prince!"

The Second Madam's face also became heavy when she heard the news. "Did the Emperor say that himself?"

Uncle Zhao nodded, "I found some portraits of women in my eldest brother's palace today. I thought he wanted to add someone to his harem, but who would have thought that they were prepared for the crown prince!"

After returning to the capital, the second wife has not seen Qin Wan for some time.

However, she was still aware that Zhao Zhen had four more concubines in the backyard.

"You mean those portraits are prepared for the prince to choose a princess?"

Uncle Zhao nodded, "I guess so. Now that the prince has just moved into the East Palace, the status of the women in the prince's backyard will be determined."

The Second Madam stood up immediately and said, "No, I have to go to the East Palace and ask Awan what her plan is. This child probably knew the news a long time ago, but she didn't tell us anything."

Uncle Zhao nodded, "I guess so, I can't tell what big brother and Awan said!

Don't decide on her status yet. I can help find some people to submit a petition to make Awan the Crown Princess."

The Second Madam nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes, you go and talk to each family. Although most of the people we know in the North are military commanders, there are still some people, right?"

"Okay, let's split up!"

Uncle Zhao said this and then left in a hurry.

Zhao Qing and Zhao Yi knew that the Second Madam was going to the East Palace, and Zhao Yi insisted on going with them, "Mom, I haven't seen Little Lion for a long time. I want to see him."

Zhao Yi looked at the Second Wife eagerly and wanted to go to the Eastern Palace to play around.

The second wife had no choice but to take her son and daughter with her.

Compared with the lively Zhao Yi, Zhao Qing was a little silent. Since Zhao Qing came back from the north, he was not as lively as before.

Zhao Qing is now a daughter of the royal family. Although she is not a princess, the emperor is her uncle.

The status is not low.

Since returning to Beijing, the second wife has also taken Zhao Qing to attend banquets in Beijing, but other girls all stared at Zhao Qing's forehead, and some people even talked about Zhao Qing behind her back.

This made Zhao Qing very sensitive.

Zhao Qing even felt that her current life was not as comfortable as when she was in the mountains.

The second wife also knew about her daughter's heart knot, and when she went out, she could feel people's inquiring gazes.

However, she knew that she could not back down. The more you hide, the more others will look down on you.

Now Zhao Qing is not averse to going out, and the Second Madam also wants to take Zhao Qing out for some fresh air.

After the three of them got on the carriage, they headed straight to the imperial city.

East Palace, Yichun Palace.

The little lion has been sent back.

Zhao Zhen was also very busy every day. Cui Zhanshi of the Zhanshi Mansion had something to discuss with Zhao Zhen, so Eunuch Gao took the little lion back to Yichun Palace.

The little lion held Qin Wan's hand and said, "Mom, our house is so big!"

At this time, the little white tiger was running happily outside the hall. It had been locked in a cage before and had been whimpering sadly for a long time.

Now it is very happy to find that its brothers have not abandoned it.

"Mom, look, Tiger Head likes it here too!"

When Tiger Head heard the little lion talking about it, it immediately stopped, ran over, and whimpered at Qin Wan and the little lion.

When the servants in Yichun Palace saw that there was still a tiger in the palace, they became nervous.

However, at this time they all stayed far away, and would not come close unless their master gave them orders.

Qin Wan wiped the little lion's forehead and said, "Okay, go in with mom. It's getting cold now."

The little lion nodded, "Okay!"

Qin Wan led the little lion into the inner hall. It was winter now. Although it was not snowing in Chang'an City, the temperature outside was not low.

Granny Ping said at this time: "My Lady, please change the clothes for the eldest grandson!"

Qin Wan touched the little lion's back and found that he was indeed sweating and his back was wet.

"Okay, change the little lion's clothes!"

"Yes!"

So the little lion was carried out.

At this time, a palace maid was heard to report, "Your Majesty, the wife of Duke Anguo wants to see you."

Qin Wan thought for a long time before she realized that the maid was talking about the Second Madam. "Quick, please come in!"

Qin Wan wanted to send an invitation to the second wife, but today was the first day of moving, so she didn't have time yet.

Soon, the second wife and Zhao Qing and Zhao Yi were invited in.

"Second Aunt, I was thinking about posting something for you guys!"

Qin Wan immediately greeted the Second Madam warmly and started chatting with her.

Zhao Yi looked around and said, "Sister-in-law, I came to see the little lion. Why is he not here?"

Qin Wan smiled and said, "He's going to change his clothes, wait for him!"

"Then I'll go find him!"

Qin Wan gave the palace maid a wink, and the little maid took Zhao Yi away.

The second wife saw that her son was not there, so she began to ask, "Awan, do you know that the emperor is going to choose a princess for the prince?"

Qin Wan nodded, "Yes, I know!"

The second wife said with a look of disapproval: "You are Dalang's legal wife. Although Dalang was not the crown prince at that time, you were his legitimate wife and gave birth to his eldest son. You must have the position of crown princess!"

Qin Wan sighed and recounted the first day she returned to the capital, how she was summoned to the palace by the Queen, and how the Emperor threatened her. "...This is what happened. The Emperor wanted to take the little lion away. I had no way of letting him leave my side, so I could only agree to give up my position as the Emperor's principal wife."

Second Madam: “….”

The second wife's chest heaved, and she wanted to swear, but held it back.

“Your Majesty… Your Majesty…”

The second wife swallowed back what she wanted to say, "Then you can't just give up like that! If you don't want the position of the first wife, then the little lion will no longer be the legitimate son, and his position in the future will be very embarrassing."

At this time, Zhao Qing, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "Sister-in-law, what does the prince think?"
