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

Before entering the palace, Yun Zhining sent her maid to Aunt An's courtyard. Lady Yuanchang arranged another maid for her. Ostensibly, the maid was to take care of her daily life, but in fact, she was to keep an eye on her every move and remind her to save Yun Fulan at any time. Since the maid was a spy planted by Lady Yuanchang around her, Yun Zhining naturally would not trust her.

So the first step was to transfer her away from her side and let Qingzhu be her head maid. As for the reckless and tactless Bilian, she was handed over to Madam Qi for discipline.

Some people may wonder why Yun Zhining doesn't even trust Bilian, who she brought from the Yuanchang Earl's Mansion, but trusts Qingzhu and Madam Qi 100%. That's because they don't know that in her previous life, Qingzhu and Madam Qi were her confidants.

After she was killed by Yun Fulan, Nanny Qi and Qingzhu tried every possible way to help her get revenge, and even almost poisoned Yun Fulan to death. If there had not been a miraculous doctor in the Imperial Hospital who transferred the poison in her body to the unborn baby in her belly, Yun Fulan would have died long ago.

This action caused severe damage to Yun Fulan's body, and she became infertile for the rest of her life. The emperor was also furious and had Qingzhu and Madam Qi torn into pieces, one by five horses, and the other by a thousand cuts. Yun Zhining floated into the air and saw with her own eyes that they were tortured to death, so in this life, she wanted to repay Qingzhu and Madam Qi for their kindness and let them follow her to rise to prominence.

It's a pity that she can't do it now.

It has been ten days since Yun Zhining entered the palace, but she still has not met the emperor. Everyone is waiting to see her make a fool of herself. Yun Fulan in the cold palace is getting anxious, but Yun Zhining is not panicked at all.

After the rain, the weather became much cooler, so Yun Zhining went out with Qingzhu, a basket on her back and a shovel in her hand.

After the rain, many small bamboo shoots and wild vegetables popped out of the ground. Yun Zhining rolled up her sleeves and dug happily. Soon she had dug a full basket.

"Okay, that's all for today. Let's go back. I'll make you some delicious bamboo shoots and pork stir-fried with amaranth. If you like soup, I can also make you some soup with bamboo shoots."

"Let me tell you, bamboo shoots have many benefits. They can clear away heat and resolve phlegm, invigorate the qi and soothe the stomach, and treat diabetes. They have many, many benefits."

"But I heard that bamboo shoots seem to have an effect on men. The emperor ate the food made by the young lady and was harmed. What should we do?"

"Rumors, all rumors, bamboo shoots won't have any effect on men."

"really?"

"Of course it's true. Why, now you don't even believe your young master's words?"

"No, no matter what you say, I will believe it. So, my lady, let me try the poison tonight. If the food tastes good and the soup is tasty, you can make new ones and send them to the emperor tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, since Qingzhu of our family has volunteered, my lady, of course I am very grateful."

The figures of the master and servant were getting farther and farther away, until they disappeared completely. Then Qi Yejing slowly walked out of the darkness with his men.

He glanced at the bamboo shoots and wild vegetables that had disappeared from the hillside, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his eyes.

"Dong Ling, please send someone to check which palace the maid named Qing Zhu belongs to?"

The eunuch Dong Ling, the chief steward of the imperial court, quickly recalled in his mind and said in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, Qingzhu is currently serving in Hibiscus Pavilion."

"Furong Pavilion?"

Qi Yejing frowned slightly.

"If I remember correctly, Yun Fulan, the eldest daughter of Earl Yuanchang, lives in Furong Pavilion. Yun Fulan was sent to the cold palace by me two months ago because she poisoned the queen. There should be no talented people in Furong Pavilion now."

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that ten days ago, Yun Zhining, the second daughter of the Earl of Yuanchang and the younger sister of the cold palace Yun, had entered the palace. Empress Dowager Xiaoyan discussed with the Empress and gave her a rank of a seventh-rank official. She was also arranged to live in the Hibiscus Pavilion before Yun, and she was living in the house that Yun had lived in before."

"Empress Dowager Xiaoyan and the Queen are indeed aunt and niece. They are both disgusting people."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry about this. Although Empress Dowager Xiaoyan and the Empress arranged for Yun Changzai to live in the house where Yun Shi lived before, Yun Changzai refused their arrangement on the grounds that she was not used to living in a big house. She also bribed the nanny around the Empress and moved to a small room in the northwest corner. It's not too disgusting."

"Oh?"

Qi Yejing raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"I never thought that this newcomer to the palace, Yun Changzai, is actually a smart person. It looks like Empress Dowager Xiaoyan and the Queen are going to shoot themselves in the foot this time."

"Let's go, Dong Ling, go back and have a good rest first, and then go to Furong Pavilion to meet our Yun Changzai later."

Yun Zhining didn't know that she almost ran into Daye's owner when she went out this time, and he was still preparing delicious meals for tonight in the small kitchen.

She was a skilled cook, and with the skills granted by the system, she was unrivaled. Soon, the entire Furong Pavilion was filled with a fresh fragrance, which became stronger and stronger.

Yun Zhining's current status does not allow her to have her own small kitchen, so any dish she wants has to be bought from the imperial kitchen. Fortunately, Lady Yuanchang gave her an extra 100,000 taels of silver so that Yun Fulan can live more comfortably in the cold palace. She did not feel sorry for spending Yun Fulan's money, so she had everything from chicken, duck, fish, meat, rice, flour, grain, and oil, and would never treat herself badly.

The sky gradually darkened, with a few stars dotted in the sky. The road was pitch black, and few people were walking back and forth. Qi Yejing walked with his hands behind his back, and the young eunuch carefully held the lamp in front of him. Dong Ling followed closely behind. It was very quiet along the way, and no one said much.

On the contrary, Hibiscus Pavilion was brightly lit with candles and filled with laughter and joy.

"My dear, are you done? My mouth is watering."

"How disgusting! Get out now and don't ruin our appetite."

"I don't, I won't."

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble."

"You guys go back first. After everything is sorted out, I'll have Madam Qi and Qingzhu take it back to you."

"Thank you, my Lord."

Yun Zhining made a lot of things tonight. She distributed some to the people below, some to Aunt Qi and Qingzhu, and there was about enough for two people left.

Yun Zhining thought that if she couldn't finish it, she would put it in an ice container and heat it up tomorrow morning. But who knew that as soon as she turned around, she saw a strange man standing at the door.

She was startled and quickly pulled the knife from the chopping board, holding it in front of her, and yelled in fear.

"You, who are you, why did you come to my Furong Pavilion so late at night, and what do you want to do?"

Qi Yejing tilted her head to glance at the delicious food behind her, and pursed her lips into a straight line.

He just wanted to taste what she cooked. Did she have to point a kitchen knife at him, making it seem like he was a person with bad intentions?
