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

Several people have died in the palace recently, and people are in a panic. Even Qi Yejing fell ill from exhaustion. He felt that this was not going to work. Yun Zhining happened to fall ill while taking care of him, so he wanted to raise Yun Zhining's position and confer titles on the six palaces to use happy events to offset the bad luck.

At the same time, the deceased Concubine Hui, Qi Xiurong and Liu Fangyi were posthumously honored, and their families were also rewarded. Public opinion in the court and the harem changed, Qi Yejing's mood improved, and his illness disappeared.

It happened to be the autumn hunting season, so he decided to take his concubines out to have some fun and relax. When they came back, they would have a brand new look.

In Fengyi Palace, when paying respects in the morning, a concubine asked about this matter, and the queen responded openly.

"The Emperor talked to me about this last night. He said that he would take Concubine Zhou and Madam Lin with him when he went out this time. The eldest and second princes are old enough to be taken out for some fun."

"Ming Xiurong has not left the palace for three years because of her pregnancy and childbirth. The emperor feels sorry for her and naturally wants her to leave the palace to relax."

"As for the others, it depends on your performance."

"But don't worry, there are 27 other candidates besides these three. Everyone can compete for it."

"Don't worry too much about those who were not selected. If there is a chance next time, I will give priority to you."

"Thank you, Queen."

Everyone was thanking the Queen, but Concubine An suddenly stood up.

"Empress, the Second Princess and the Third Prince are still young. This concubine and Concubine He are worried, so we want to stay and take care of them. When they grow up in a few years, we can go out and play if we have the chance."

"This opportunity will be left to the new sisters who have entered the palace."

The queen nodded, very pleased.

"An Zhaoyi is worthy of being the head of the Nine Concubines. She is generous and has set a good example for the other concubines in the six palaces. When I see the emperor later, I will definitely say a few good words for you."

"In that case, thank you very much, Queen."

The autumn hunting was confirmed, but the list of personnel had not yet been finalized. The various palaces vied with each other to send gifts to Fengyi Palace and to curry favor in the Imperial Study. All the delicious food and drinks went into the little eunuch's stomach. In less than ten days, the face of the little eunuch serving at the door became twice as round as a Fuwa.

Finally, Qi Yejing couldn't bear it anymore and issued an order.

Zhou Baozhu, Feng Cairen and Jiang Cairen are all on the list.

Among them were Empress Dowager Xiaoyan's niece Wei Jieyu, Empress Dowager Xiaoci's cousin-niece Kong Jieyu, the Queen's younger sister Zhang Jieyu, and Prince Kang's sister-in-law Lan Jieyu.

Those on the list were ecstatic, and those not on the list were angry and upset, but it was of no use.

Qingning Palace.

Yun Zhining was very happy.

"It's rare that the three of us are on the list. Qingzhu, go to the private storehouse right away and pick out two pieces of fabric and two sets of jewelry and head ornaments to give to Baozhu and Feng Cairen. When the autumn hunt comes, the two of you will dress up beautifully and you will definitely attract the emperor's attention."

"If you are lucky enough to conceive a dragon heir, I will do my best to ensure that you give birth to the child safely. By then, our Qingning Palace will be more powerful and we will no longer be afraid of others bullying us."

"The slaves obey the order."

"Please wait for a moment, Madam Zhou and Concubine Feng. I will be back soon."

"Good work."

Qingzhu had been with them for some time and was familiar with their preferences. Logically, she should have been able to quickly pick out the clothes and jewelry they liked. However, she was away for a long time, and her expression didn't look right when she came back.

Yun Zhining frowned.

"Qingzhu, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing the voice, Qingzhu glanced at Zhou Baozhu and Feng Cairen with some hesitation in his eyes.

"Didn't your Majesty wear a golden jade hairpin with an eight-treasure lotus pattern some time ago? At that time, Concubine Zhou and Concubine Feng liked it very much, so I wanted to find two similar ones, but after searching over and over again, I only found one. Please make the decision, Your Majesty."

"this,……"

After hesitating for a moment, Yun Zhining spoke slowly.

"Baozhu, I have given you a lot of pearl hairpins and jewelry in the past few years. Why don't you give this eight-treasure lotus gold and jade hairpin to Feng Cairen? I will go to the storehouse in person later and pick out two better ones for you."

"how?"

"No!"

Zhou Baozhu stamped her feet and said angrily.

"I have been eyeing that Eight Treasures Lotus Gold Jade Hairpin for a long time. I finally found a similar one. I don't want to give it to Feng Cairen."

"I do not want!"

"Baozhu, you are too willful!"

Yun Zhining originally wanted to talk to her nicely, but she refused to listen. Yun Zhining became annoyed when she saw this.

"Okay, that's settled. I'm tired. You two can go back first."

"elder sister,……"

"Why, you don't even listen to what I say now?"

"Baozhu doesn't dare."

"Since you don't dare, why don't you retreat quickly?"

"Yes."

Zhou Baozhu bowed slightly, turned around and left.

Feng Cairen also took her leave.

Originally, the matter ended here, but Feng Cairen always remembered that she ran to Furong Pavilion and slapped herself hard.

Normally, Yun Zhining doted on her, and Feng Cairen didn't dare to confront her in person. But today, she had angered Ming Xiurong. She might be driven out of Qingning Palace tomorrow and eaten by the jackals and tigers in the harem. If she didn't take revenge for this, when would she?

"Be careful and watch where you are walking. If you break this golden jade hairpin with eight-treasure lotus flower that Ming Xiurong gave me, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Zhou Baozhu was already very angry, and she became even angrier when she saw Feng Cairen deliberately embarrassing her.

"Mr. Feng, what do you mean?"

"Nothing, I just think you're useless. You've been with Ming Xiurong for such a long time, but you've never done anything for her. And you're asking her to protect you all the time. You're such a fool."

"It's also because Ming Xiurong is kind-hearted. If it were me, I would have kicked you out long ago."

"But she's not particularly stupid. She knows I'm more useful than you, so she gives me the good stuff first."

"So from now on, you should understand your own identity and stop showing off in front of me. Otherwise, you will definitely die miserably."

"Boom!"

A small stone hit Feng Cairen's forehead, and bleeding started instantly.

She took one look at the blood on her hands and immediately screamed.

"Zhou Baozhu, you dare to hit me!"

"I've already fought once before, so what's the harm in fighting again?"

"you you,……"

"I'll fight you!"

At the critical moment, Feng Cairen performed extraordinary actions. He grabbed Zhou Baozhu's hair and pressed her head into the water tank where lotus flowers were grown.

His head sank into the water and he instantly had difficulty breathing. Zhou Baozhu struggled desperately and grabbed Feng Cairen so hard that he was covered in bruises. But even so, Feng Cairen still refused to let go.

Before long, Zhou Baozhu's struggle became less powerful.
