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

A voice suddenly rang in her ears, Yun Zhining's hands trembled, and the notebook immediately fell to the ground.

She didn't even bother to bend down to pick up the thing, and quickly stood up to greet the visitor.

"I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager be blessed with good health."

"You recognize me?"

"You are joking, Queen Mother. You are so charming and graceful, how can ordinary people compare to you?"

Queen Mother Xiaoyan smiled but showed no mercy in her words.

"So do you think Aijia is more like the empress dowager, or is Empress Dowager Xiaoci more like the empress dowager?"

"Of course it's you, the Queen Mother."

Oh?

Empress Dowager Xiaoyan finally showed some interest in her.

"You said without hesitation that I am more like the Queen Mother. Aren't you afraid that the Queen Mother Xiaoci will blame you if she finds out?"

"You should know that the one sitting on the throne now is not Ai's son, but Empress Dowager Xiaoci's biological son."

Yun Zhining was very calm.

"Although the emperor is the biological son of the Empress Dowager Xiaoci, he should call you mother according to the law and reason. According to the law, you are his stepmother and a well-deserved mother. According to reason, it was you who worked hard to educate him and helped him ascend the throne. Although he may argue with you on many things, in his heart, you are his second mother. Even the Empress Dowager Xiaoci cannot change this. Of course, the Empress Dowager Xiaoci is also a grateful person. She treats you as her own sister from the bottom of her heart, and naturally she will not reject your closeness to the emperor."

This time, Queen Dowager Xiaoyan really laughed.

"Yun Zhining, Yun Zhining, you are so brave that you dare to guess the master's intention. Aren't you afraid that if you guess wrong, it will bring disaster?"

Of course she was afraid.

But those in power hate it most when the people below them are afraid of death and cowardly. If she really shows cowardice and fear, then her life will be ruined.

What's more, she had floated above the palace for decades in her previous life, and she knew everything she should and shouldn't know. She was confident that she would not guess wrong.

Thinking of this, Yun Zhining shook her head and chuckled.

"I am not afraid. I have the confidence."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Why are you going to Xiaohe Palace instead of staying in Furong Pavilion at this time?"

"In reply to the Empress Dowager, I am here to visit the Empress Dowager Xiaoci."

"Why did you think of visiting Empress Dowager Xiaoci for no reason? Could it be that you are like those women in the harem, trying to curry favor with her and use her to please the emperor?"

Seeing that Empress Dowager Xiaoyan's face had turned cold, Yun Zhining hurriedly explained.

"Your Majesty, you misunderstood. A few days ago, I had an argument with Sun Da Ying, and the Emperor punished me by confining me to my room for five days and making me copy a copy of the Diamond Sutra to pray for the Empress Dowager Xiaoci. Today, the confinement period is over, so I will send the copied Diamond Sutra to the Empress Dowager Xiaoci."

"Show it to me."

"Yes."

Yun Zhining turned around and glanced at Qingzhu who was serving beside her. Qingzhu immediately took a neat booklet from the tray and handed it respectfully to Empress Dowager Xiaoyan.

Empress Dowager Xiaoyan flipped through it for a few seconds and a smile appeared on her face.

"Your handwriting is neat and you are neither arrogant nor impatient. It seems that you have really reflected on yourself. Your attitude was also very correct when you copied the scriptures. Not bad, not bad."

"I know I have done something wrong, so I dare not neglect it. However, the Empress Dowager Xiaoci is still sleeping peacefully, so I cannot disturb her. I can only trouble the Empress Dowager to give this Diamond Sutra to her."

Queen Dowager Xiaoyan did not say anything, but turned to look at the palace maid beside her and asked.

"When did Empress Dowager Xiaoci go to bed?"

"To answer the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager Xiaoci entered the bedroom an hour ago. As for when she went to bed, I'm afraid only she and the palace maids who served her know."

"This woman, ..."

Empress Dowager Xiaoyan was about to complain when she noticed the notebook at Yun Zhining's feet.

She frowned slightly, and the palace maid quickly went over and picked up the notebook.

Empress Dowager Xiaoyan flipped the page casually, and her face instantly turned cold.

"Qingmei, go to the west hall and bring Empress Dowager Xiaoci to me immediately."

"But Empress Dowager Xiaoci is sleeping right now. If I rashly go in and disturb her, I'm afraid that would not be a good idea."

"Just go ahead. If the emperor blames me, I will take full responsibility."

Seeing that Empress Dowager Xiaoyan looked like she could not be disobeyed, Qingmei had no choice but to turn around and leave.

Not long after, she came in with a beautiful woman with disheveled clothes and hair.

Although the man was still in a daze, he could still see her beautiful face. In addition, her appearance was not aggressive, so she was liked by Queen Dowager Xiaoyan and has been protected until today.

It's a pity that not long after the death of Empress Dowager Xiaoyan in the previous life, she was used by Yun Fulan to frame others. Such a dignified mother and empress dowager ended up like that.

"Sister, why did you rush to find me? What's the matter?"

Empress Dowager Xiaoyan slammed the note she found in the storybook on the table and shouted coldly.

"Explain to me, what is this?"

Empress Dowager Xiaoci glanced at the notebook next to her and instantly understood what it was.

"Um, hehe, sister, this is me, I, ..."

"Have you set a daily limit for ice drinks?"

"Don't you have any idea of ​​your own physical condition?"

"You drink so much cold drinks every day, aren't you afraid that you might get diarrhea and die of dehydration one day?"

"And you, Qinglan, I transferred you to serve the Empress Dowager Xiaoci so that you can see that she eats and goes to bed on time, not to be her yes-man and do whatever she asks you to do!"

Qinglan is really more wronged than Dou E!

"Your Highness, please understand. I follow Empress Dowager Xiaoci every day and watch her daily life, but she is the master. I cannot stop her from doing anything she wants to do!"

"I am truly wronged. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"You just keep irritating me day after day. If I die of irritation one day, you will be very happy!"

A cup of tea appeared in front of her, and a gentle voice sounded in the ears of Empress Dowager Xiaoyan.

"Her Majesty, please drink a cup of tea and calm down. Don't get yourself sick from anger. If you do that, your loved ones will be sad and your enemies will be happy."

"I just lied. Actually, I came here today to give Empress Dowager Xiaoci a handwritten copy of the Diamond Sutra and some medicinal recipes. If you follow those recipes, Empress Dowager Xiaoci will definitely get better. Of course, I have also prepared a few recipes for the Empress Dowager. Please take care of yourself. Daye cannot do without you, and neither can the Emperor, the Empress, or Empress Dowager Xiaoci."

Empress Dowager Xiaoci nodded frantically.

Empress Dowager Xiaoyan glared at her, then turned and looked at Yun Zhining.

"The imperial physician had prepared medicinal recipes for Empress Dowager Xiaoci before, but she refused to cooperate, and I can't watch her all the time."

"The Empress Dowager is very busy and naturally has no time to watch over her, but I am very free. From making the medicinal food to watching the Empress Dowager Xiaoci eat it, I will definitely do it myself."

Yun Zhining smiled very kindly, but Empress Dowager Xiaoci felt a chill in her heart.

"Well, sister, can we discuss this? I promise that I will never secretly eat ice drinks behind your back again. Can you please stop asking me to eat medicinal food?"

That was really nasty.

It would be better to just kill her!

"Okay, just give up on this idea. You no longer have any credibility with me."

"Mr. Ming, I leave this matter to you. If you do it well, I will reward you handsomely. If you don't do it well, watch your head."

"Don't worry, Empress Dowager. I will definitely serve Empress Dowager Xiaoci well and make sure she is healthy and plump."

I will never let her repeat the mistakes of her previous life.
