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

Yun Zhining was very efficient and arranged medicated food for Empress Dowager Xiaoci that evening.

When Empress Dowager Xiaoci saw that all her favorite sweet and sour and spicy dishes were replaced with porridge and light dishes, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"I just want to eat something delicious, why are you doing this to me?"

"I don't want to eat, I don't want to drink, I just want sweet and sour pork ribs and boiled fish, I just want sweet and sour pork ribs and boiled fish."

Seeing that Empress Dowager Xiaoci was trying to avoid these things that were good for her health by throwing a tantrum, Empress Dowager Xiaoyan's face instantly fell.

"Jiang Ling, don't go too far..."

Before Empress Dowager Xiaoyan could finish her words, she heard sobbing from the other side.

Yun Zhining took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Queen Mother. I didn't mean to embarrass you. I just hope that your health can get better, so that Queen Mother Xiaoyan, the Emperor, and the Queen Mother won't worry about you every day."

"If you really don't want to eat, then don't make it difficult for me. I just sacrificed an entire afternoon to make so many things. I just accidentally cut my hand while cutting vegetables, and it broke and bled a little, but the Queen Mother has lost her freedom to eat."

"It's all my fault. I made the Queen Mother unhappy. I'm leaving now."

Having said that, she prepared to get up and leave.

But who knew that she accidentally tripped over a chair when she just stood up, and fell directly to the ground. A long scar appeared on her slender white fingers, which looked horrible.

The cry of Empress Dowager Xiaoci was instantly blocked in her throat, and she couldn't make a single sound.

After a long while, she finally spoke.

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you. I'll eat it. Is that not okay?"

Empress Dowager Xiaoci ate the food prepared by Yun Zhining with a fearless attitude, but as soon as she took a bite, her eyes lit up instantly.

"This, this is not a medicinal food!"

"This is a medicinal diet, or more precisely, a dietary therapy. After all, medicine is three-quarters toxic, and some medicines are really bitter and unpalatable, so try not to take medicine if you can."

"You are absolutely right. I don't know how those people in the Imperial Hospital made the medicine. The medicine they made is dark and bitter. I lost my appetite after just one look at it, let alone drinking it."

"You are so nice. You didn't make medicine for me, but used the method of combining medicine and food to help me regulate my body. That's great. I like it very much."

"Since the Queen Mother likes it, then eat it quickly. After eating, take a rest for a quarter of an hour, and then go for a walk in the courtyard. Don't stay in the bedroom every day. Go out and walk more often and breathe more fresh air outside. This way you can be healthy and live a long life."

When it comes to sports, Empress Dowager Xiaoci's face instantly falls.

"Ah, can you not go out for a walk?"

Yun Zhining did not say a word, but pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes. Empress Dowager Xiaoci immediately raised the white flag of surrender.

"Okay, okay, don't cry. I'll listen to you. Isn't it okay if I listen to you?"

Having finally found the nemesis of Empress Dowager Xiaoci, Empress Dowager Xiaoyan felt much more relieved.

After dinner, Yun Zhining accompanied Empress Dowager Xiaoci for a walk, sent her back to her bedroom, and prepared to return home.

As soon as she came out of Xiaohe Palace, she saw Queen Dowager Xiaoyan standing under a tree not far away. When she saw her come out, she waved at her.

Yun Zhining quickly ran over holding the hem of her skirt and bowed slightly.

"What does the Queen Mother want from me?"

"You did a great job today. What reward do you want?"

Yun Zhining was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"I just hope that the Empress Dowager Xiaoci can be healthy and live a long life. I hope that the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress can worry less. Other than that, I have no other requests."

"What if I must reward you?"

"Then please, Her Majesty the Queen Mother, reward me with one thousand taels of silver!"

"I knew you were uneasy about being close to Empress Dowager Xiaoci..."

Before she even uttered the word "kindness", Empress Dowager Xiaoyan was stunned.

After a moment, she came back to her senses.

"what did you just say?"

"If the Queen Mother really feels bad about this, then please reward me with one thousand taels of silver."

"Don't you want anything else besides money?"

"What else can I ask for? The emperor's favor or a high position?"

Yun Zhining raised her lips and smiled.

"The emperor's favor is illusory and unreliable. Today, the emperor may favor you very much for some reason, and tomorrow he will favor other concubines for other reasons. So, for me, it's my luck if I get it, but it's my fate if I don't."

"As for a high position, to be honest, I am not qualified at all."

"It would be better to get some real gold and silver. If I really fall out of favor one day, I can use it to treat the palace servants so that they won't starve to death in the cold winter."

Empress Dowager Xiaoyan stared at her for a long time, her expression becoming more and more serious. Just when Yun Zhining thought that she was about to be sent to the cold palace to keep Yun Fulan company, she heard Empress Dowager Xiaoyan slowly speak.

"You are so young, but your mind is so clear. With time, you will definitely become a great person."

"A tree that stands out in the forest will eventually be destroyed by the wind. I'm afraid the Queen Mother will need to take good care of it in the future."

"I can take care of you, but you have to show me your ability. Otherwise, I won't keep idle people under my command."

"In that case, please let the Queen Mother take a look."

In the imperial study, Qi Yejing was working on government affairs at his desk. He finally finished reading the pile of memorials at hand. He asked Dong Ling to take them away, then he leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh of relief.

"What time is it now?"

"Your Majesty, dinner has already passed half an hour ago. Would you like to eat something and rest for a while before continuing to handle state affairs?"

"Okay, you go make arrangements."

Dinner was served quickly. While enjoying dinner, Qi Yejing listened to Dong Ling's report on the movements of the concubines in the harem today. When he learned that Yun Zhining had gone to Xiaohe Palace, his brows immediately frowned.

"The confinement period has passed. Why did she go to Xiaohe Palace instead of paying respects to me?"

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that you ordered Concubine Ming to copy a copy of the Diamond Sutra for Empress Dowager Xiaoci to pray for blessings? So Concubine Ming sent the Diamond Sutra to Empress Dowager Xiaoci right after the confinement period ended. She happened to run into Empress Dowager Xiaoyan scolding Empress Dowager Xiaoci for not paying attention to her health, so she took the initiative to prepare some dietary recipes for Empress Dowager Xiaoci, all of which were light foods. Empress Dowager Xiaoci cried on the spot, and then Concubine Ming used her own method to treat her, and Empress Dowager Xiaoci raised the white flag and surrendered."

"Oh, I didn't realize that the magic weapon to restrain the Queen Mother is to fight poison with poison."

"This Yun Zhining is really capable."

"Is she still in Xiaohe Palace now?"

"No, after dinner, Concubine Ming accompanied Empress Dowager Xiaoci for a walk to digest the food, and then returned to Furong Pavilion."

"Okay, go out and get ready. I'll go to Furong Pavilion later."

"But,……"

Dong Ling pointed to the memorial on the imperial desk and reminded carefully.

"Your Majesty, you still have a lot of government affairs to deal with, including some urgent matters that cannot be delayed."

A moment later, two chopsticks flew towards him, accompanied by an emperor's roar.

"Dong Ling, will you die if you don't speak?"
