The queen has four sons and six daughters, and she can call the wind and rain

In Qingning Palace, Yun Zhining was preparing to have dinner when she saw Empress Dowager Xiaoci rushing in angrily, with Empress Dowager Xiaoyan following behind her without changing her expression.

She was stunned for a moment, then quickly took Little Grape to greet them both.

Empress Dowager Xiaoci snorted coldly.

"Qingzhu, take Little Grape down first. I and the Queen Mother Xiaoyan have something to say to your concubine."

Qingzhu was also very perceptive. When he saw that something was not right, he quickly wanted to leave with Xiaopuo in his arms.

Little Grape was worried that Empress Dowager Xiaoci would embarrass her mother and refused to leave. Yun Zhining said a few nice words and made promises before she got her out.

As soon as she left, Yun Zhining finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What does the Queen Mother want to tell me?"

Before Empress Dowager Xiaoci could speak, Empress Dowager Xiaoyan laughed.

"Okay, sit down and talk."

Yun Zhining personally poured tea for the two of them before sitting down.

Empress Xiaoci picked up the tea and took two sips, and the anger in her body finally subsided a little.

"I heard that you stayed in the imperial study for a day and a night, and during that time, Dong Ling didn't dare to get close to you for a while. Is this true?"

Yun Zhining raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Did someone complain to the Queen Mother?"

"Don't worry about it. Just answer me, is this true or false?"

"If I am not mistaken, the one who filed the complaint should be Concubine Shu."

Apart from her, there should be no one else who is so tactless and unable to judge the emperor's preferences.

"Yun Zhining!"

Seeing that Empress Dowager Xiaoci was angry, Yun Zhining immediately put away the smile on her face and looked at her seriously.

"It's true."

"You, you really want to piss me off to death!"

"Within three years, you've given birth to three children. Your body is extremely weak. Instead of thinking about replenishing your body, you dare to play with the emperor for such a long time. Why, do you want to have another child?"

"Don't you know that giving birth frequently will deplete a woman's essence and blood, and shorten her lifespan?"

"Besides, you already have three children now, and you have become a noble concubine. You can raise your own children yourself, and your position is quite stable. There is no need to rely on having more children to climb up the social ladder!"

"Your children are still young. Take good care of them first. When they are four or five years old, you can have another child."

"Wouldn't it be better for you to take advantage of this time to replenish the deficiencies in your body?"

"Why do this?"

Yun Zhining was stunned like a stupid goose.

"Empress Dowager, you are not here to scold me, but to care about my health?"

Unexpected.

She really couldn't think of it!

Why was Empress Dowager Xiaoci so good to her?

She was about to cry.

Queen Mother Xiaoyan rubbed her head and sighed softly.

"Empress Dowager Xiaoci had a good sister who entered the palace in the same year as her. She had a special physique and could easily get pregnant, so she was favored and gave birth frequently. She gave birth to thirteen children in ten years. All of them survived, but she lost her essence and blood due to giving birth to so many children in a short period of time. Then she fell into Concubine Li's trap and unfortunately died."

"Empress Dowager Xiaoci has always been brooding over this, so when she saw you like this, she couldn't help but think of what happened back then, and she was afraid that you would be killed like that person."

"You have to understand her."

Yun Zhining nodded and looked at Empress Dowager Xiaoci more eagerly.

"Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother."

"But you don't have to worry too much. I know this and have made adequate preparations. I will definitely not get pregnant again within three years. By then, the little grape, the little strawberry, and the little pomelo will be big enough to stand on their own feet. I will just let nature take its course."

"really?"

"It is absolutely true. Even if it is just to prevent the Queen Mother from worrying, I will do this."

Seeing that Yun Zhining understood her painstaking efforts and was willing to listen to her, Empress Dowager Xiaoci finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Women in this world have a hard time. When waiting to be married, they should learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs. They should have common interests and hobbies with their future husbands, so that they can communicate with each other and enhance their relationship. They should be able to knit and it would be best if they know how to cook. They should be able to take care of their husbands' food and daily life without asking others to do it for them. They should also be able to play the piano and dance to help their husbands relieve their loneliness."

"After you get married, you have to have children, manage the household, take care of your parents-in-law, and get along well with your sisters-in-law, relatives, and other ladies in other prefectures. After you get pregnant, you have to take a concubine for your husband. You can't let your husband be left alone to take care of him, and you can't let outsiders gossip about him."

“Only those who have experienced it can understand the hardships.”

"Men will never understand how difficult it is for us women. They cannot appreciate it and will not cherish it. But even so, we must cherish ourselves, love ourselves, and protect ourselves."

"If you are not willing to protect yourself, who else will care about you and protect you?"

Every word of Empress Dowager Xiaoci was thought-provoking and inspiring, and Yun Zhining was taught a lot.

It was already late, and Xiaohe Palace was still some distance away from Qingning Palace, so Yun Zhining asked the two empresses to have dinner in Qingning Palace.

There are many people who like to eat in Qingning Palace, so the dinner is relatively rich. Empress Dowager Xiaoci tried many rare dishes. Although there are many dishes, the portion of each is not large. They are nutritious, healthy and delicious but not meaty or greasy. Empress Dowager Xiaoci really loves them.

Seeing this, Yun Zhining asked someone to copy a menu for her to take back.

Empress Dowager Xiaoci stormed into Qingning Palace angrily. Many people thought Yun Zhining was going to be scolded, but when she came out she was smiling and looking refreshed, much to everyone's disappointment.

Shufei was so angry that she smashed a lot of things. As a result, when she was punishing the palace maid, she accidentally tripped over the debris and rubbed her face directly on the debris, leaving a big cut. She called the imperial physician to see the case late at night, which made people laugh at her.

Qi Yejing only heard about these things after he finished his work.

After listening, he was silent for a while.

"Dong Ling, take someone to Fengyi Palace and help me pass on a message."

"how about you?"

"I'm going to Fengyi Palace to see Concubine Ming."

"Yes."

I thought Qi Yejing would not come again tonight as Yun Zhining had already gone to bed. But just as she was lying on the bed, telling Xiao Pu Tao a bedtime story, she saw Qi Yejing pushing the door open.

She quickly stood up and prepared to salute, but Qi Yejing raised his hand to stop her.

"Sit still and don't get down."

Yun Zhining sat down readily and made room for him.

"Qingzhu, take Little Grape back to rest."

"do not want!"

Little Grape grabbed her sleeve and shook her head vigorously.

"Mom, I want to sleep with you tonight, is that okay?"

"this,……"

Yun Zhining looked up at Qi Yejing and asked for his opinion.

Qi Yejing ignored her, picked up Little Grape, spun her around a few times, and said with a smile.

"Of course, the three of us will sleep together tonight."

"Yeah, that's great, Father, I love you the most."

"Father loves us little Grape the most."
