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

It was still dawn when Zhou got up.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, the palace maid carefully drew her eyebrows and dressed her up meticulously. She put on the queen's clothes, put on the queen's phoenix crown, sat on the queen's carriage, and then followed Qi Yejing to the Taimiao to worship their ancestors.

After offering sacrifices to her ancestors, she returned to the palace and accepted the kneeling worship of court officials and concubines. Then she rightfully became the queen of Daye.

She had successfully taken ninety-nine steps, and only had one step left to go, but she failed at the last step.

On the way to the Taimiao, she was climbing the stairs when she suddenly felt dizzy. She didn't see the road clearly and fell down.

Qi Yejing wanted to hold her back, but it was too late. By the time he brought people to find her, she had already fallen to death.

Today is the ceremony to enthronize the new queen, but the new queen herself fell to her death while offering sacrifices to ancestors in the Taimiao. Rumors spread in the palace, saying that she came to the throne in an illegitimate way and suffered retribution. God has eyes, and Qi Yejing was furious and executed a large number of people.

Rumors still spread, but not as rampantly as before.

Zhou died unexpectedly, the harem was leaderless, high-ranking concubines were sick and weak, and some were unable to take on important responsibilities. Qi Yejing had no choice but to set his sights on Madam Lin and Yun Zhining.

In the imperial study, Qi Yejing had just expressed his idea when he was opposed by Mrs. Lin.

"I don't know anything. If the emperor leaves all these things to me, I will definitely mess it up."

"The harem is in chaos now, and we urgently need a capable person to rectify the harem and help the emperor stabilize the rear area, so the emperor should spare me."

"Concubine Qi and Madam Yin have been sick for many years and are unable to take charge of the overall situation. Concubine Xian is incompetent and has to take care of the fifth prince. She is too busy to do anything. Concubine Wan previously assisted Zhou in managing the harem, but not only did she not achieve any results, she also caused chaos in the harem. I dare not hand this matter over to her again. As for Concubine Zhe and others, it goes without saying that each of them is unable to handle the heavy responsibility."

"If you don't come out to take charge of the situation, who else can I trust?"

"Of course it's Concubine Yi."

Mrs. Lin bowed slightly and smiled.

"Before Zhou passed away, she asked Concubine Yi to help look at the account books and handle some matters. Concubine Yi handled them very well and in a very short time, so I think Concubine Yi is capable of doing the job."

Yun Zhining immediately shook her head.

"I did help Zhou deal with some things before, but they were all minor matters that were not worthy of being mentioned in public."

"Besides, I have to take care of Wan'er and Jun'er and help little Grape with her education. I really don't have time to spare."

"Your Majesty, please spare me."

Qi Yejing glared at the two of them and said angrily.

"Others rushed to me as soon as they heard that they could control the six palaces. Why are you two acting like I'm forcing you to take poison and refusing to accept it no matter what?"

Mrs. Lin shrugged.

"In my eyes, this palace power is no different from poison. Whoever touches it will die."

"I am still young and want to live a few more years to see Fenger grow up, get married and have children. So Your Majesty, please spare me. I really can't do this job."

"Your servant, ..."

Seeing that Mrs. Lin was like holding a hot potato, Yun Zhining quickly threw the hot potato away.

Unfortunately it was too late.

Qi Yejing had finally caught a sheep, how could he just watch her run away?

"shut up!"

"This matter is settled. I will have someone send the Phoenix Seal to Qingning Palace later. When you go back, think carefully about who in the harem can be of use."

"This is a good time for you to win people's hearts and establish your prestige. If you miss this opportunity, you don't know if there will be a next time."

Seeing that Qi Yejing was determined to hand over the palace power to her, Yun Zhining had no choice but to accept it obediently.

"In this case, I can only step forward and share the emperor's worries."

"That's pretty much it."

"However, if I take charge of the six palaces, I will not have the time and energy to take care of Wan'er and Jun'er. They are still young. If I can't find someone I trust to take care of them, I will be worried."

"Looking for me!"

When she heard about taking care of children, Mrs. Lin's eyes lit up instantly.

"I can't help you with palace affairs, but I have no problem taking care of the children."

"When you go back later, have someone pack up and send Little Grape, Wan'er, and Jun'er to Changchun Palace. I will take good care of them and will not let them lose a single hair."

"etc,……"

Yun Zhining raised her hand to interrupt her, looking puzzled.

"When did I say I would send Little Grape to Changchun Palace as well?"

"that,……"

Mrs. Lin chuckled.

"You can give away two children, and you can give away three children as well. Besides, Feng'er likes Little Putao so much, he will definitely not bully Little Putao, don't you think?"

Yun Zhining glared at her and was about to say something when a figure appeared in her mind, looking at Mrs. Lin with ill intentions.

"Sister Lin, since you like taking care of children so much, I'm sure you won't mind taking care of the eldest prince either."

"The age difference between the eldest prince and the second prince is not that big. They usually study and play together. Sister Lin, you often say that you like the eldest prince very much."

"The eldest prince lost his mother at a young age and needs someone to care for him. You must be reluctant to let him stay alone in the cold Fengyi Palace, right?"

My goodness, she has been dug into a trap!

However, what Yun Zhining said made some sense. The eldest prince was quite pitiful. Since she could help Yun Zhining take care of Xiao Pu Tao and others, then having another eldest prince would not be a difficult matter.

"Okay, then I'll go to Fengyi Palace to pick up the eldest prince later."

"Empress Yi, you go with Madam Lin and take the Phoenix Seal back with you, so you don't have to make another trip to Dongling."

"The minister and concubine follow the order."

In the side hall of Fengyi Palace, the eldest prince's eunuch was holding food and looking at the closed palace door with an anxious look on his face.

"Oh my goodness, my highness, you haven't eaten for most of the day, please eat something, otherwise the Queen's spirit in heaven will not rest in peace!"

"Eunuch Qi, I really can't eat right now. Please take it away. I want to be alone."

Think carefully about what he should do next?

"No, Your Highness. I know you can't eat right now, but you should at least drink some soup, otherwise your body will really collapse."

"Even if I beg you!"

Seeing that there was no movement inside, the father-in-law was about to rush in but was stopped by someone.

"Who?"

Just as he was about to scold the tactless palace maid, he met two pairs of cold eyes and his legs instantly went limp with fear.

"I deserve to die. Please forgive me, Madam Lin and Concubine Yi."

Madam Lin glared at him, her eyes fell on the palace door, and her expression softened instantly.

"My Lord, I heard from the palace servants that you haven't eaten for a long time. Come out and eat something quickly. No matter what happens, we are here and we will never sit idly by."

"Thank you for your concern, Lady Lao Lin. However, I really can't eat right now."

"Even if you can't eat it, you have to give it to me!"

Yun Zhining was not as good-tempered as Madam Lin. Seeing that the eldest prince refused to come out, she stepped forward, kicked the door open, and dragged the eldest prince out.

The eldest prince had been hungry for a long time and was so weak that he fell to the ground without any defense.

The feeling of grievance suddenly came to his mind, and he fell to the ground and cried loudly.

Seeing him crying, Yun Zhining finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on her face softened a lot.
