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

"Stop, stop, stop, stop crying. Tell me what's going on."

The fourth princess wiped away her tears and sobbed.

"My elder sister won first place in the study room test yesterday. Father was very pleased and rewarded her with many things. My elder sister picked some to give to my eldest brother and his family, and even the younger ones like us got some."

"But she had something else to do yesterday and didn't have time to send someone to deliver it to us. This morning, she brought the things to the upper study and asked us to divide them among ourselves."

"The other brothers and sisters quickly took their share, leaving only me and my fifth sister."

"I liked a hairpin and wanted to take it away, but the fifth sister insisted that the hairpin was promised to her by the eldest sister. I asked her to produce evidence, but she refused and just threw a tantrum, asking me to return the hairpin to her. I persuaded her for a long time, but she refused to give in. I got angry and took the hairpin away."

"Then she started beating me."

"I couldn't help it, so I fought back."

Yun Zhining nodded and looked at the fifth princess.

"Is this what happened?"

The fifth princess nodded and added.

"But that hairpin was really what my elder sister promised to leave for me. It was just that when the things were being divided, I felt sick in my stomach and went to the guest room, so I didn't have time to take it."

"If I had known this would happen, I should have endured it and waited until I got the hairpin before going to the toilet."

Before she could finish her words, someone tapped her forehead and the Fifth Princess burst into tears instantly.

"My Lady, I did nothing wrong, why did you hit me?"

Yun Zhining glared at her and said unhappily.

"I am still unaware of the hairpin incident, so I have no way of judging whether you are right or wrong. But you shouldn't have said that you would not go to the palace just to get the hairpin."

"The human body has its limits. If you endure the cycle of reincarnation for a long time, your body will be damaged."

"It's just a hairpin. Even if your fourth sister really took it away, I can ask the people in the Decoration Department to make you an identical one. Is it worth it for you to harm your body like this?"

"Xiao Wu knows he is wrong and will never do such a thing again."

"This is so good!"

Yun Zhining touched her little head, then asked the children to sit down, asked someone to bring them cakes and fruits, and called Qingzhu in.

"Is Little Grape back?"

"The princess returned from Changchun Palace a quarter of an hour ago and is now reading in her bedroom, preparing for tomorrow's lessons. Your Majesty, do you need me to call the princess over?"

"Of course I want it. She is the one who caused this lawsuit. If she doesn't come to arbitrate it, does she expect me to do it for her?"

The corners of Qingzhu's mouth twitched slightly.

"Okay, I'll go call the princess now."

Little Grape came in soon.

As soon as she saw her, the fifth princess rushed up to her, hugged her legs and cried.

"Big sister, my fourth sister took away the hairpin you left for me. You must seek justice for me!"

"Then you hit me, who should I go to for justice?"

"You took my things, you deserve to be beaten."

"you,……"

The fourth princess was mad at the fifth princess and subconsciously raised her hand to hit her, but when she met Little Grape's cold eyes, she immediately gave in.

"Big sister, I didn't mean it."

Little Grape glanced at her indifferently, bowed towards Yun Zhining, and said with a chuckle.

"Mother, what's the matter with you calling me here?"

"Among the gifts you gave to your brothers and sisters this morning, was there an exquisite hairpin?"

"Indeed."

"Did you promise Xiaowu to give her the hairpin first?"

"Yup!"

Little Grape nodded.

"Any questions?"

"It's a big problem."

Yun Zhining glared at her and said unhappily.

"You promised Xiaowu, but Xiaowu was not there when the gifts were distributed, so the Fourth Princess took the hairpin first. When Xiaowu came back and found out that the Fourth Princess had taken the hairpin, he started fighting with her."

"Tell me, is this your fault?"

That's it?

Little Grape glanced at her mother and was speechless.

"The only gift my father gave me was a hairpin suitable for little girls. I can't give them my hairpin. They can't use it now!"

"Is what you said true?"

"Of course it's true. Doesn't mother believe me now?"

"If that's the case, then it's your father's fault. When I see him tonight, I will definitely give him a good talk."

"Let's deal with these little guys first."

"Who has that hairpin now?"

The fourth princess took it out of her sleeve pocket reluctantly and handed it to Yun Zhining.

Yun Zhining took it and took a look at it, and she knew why the dispute caused it.

Although the hairpin is small, it is very delicate.

The hairpin is made of white jade, with a lotus flower on the top. Although the jade is small, it is smooth and translucent all over, and it is obviously an extraordinary piece. There are also long tassels at the end of the hairpin, which swing when walking, which is very beautiful.

No wonder the two of them were fighting over it.

Yun Zhining waved to the Fifth Princess, who came running over.

She pinned the hairpin into the fifth princess's small bun, touched the tassels, and nodded.

“It’s really beautiful.”

The fifth princess chuckled.

"Can I take this hairpin with me?"

"Of course you can. Didn't your elder sister just say that this hairpin is for you? Since it's for you, it's yours. Of course you can take it away."

"Thank you, Madam Concubine."

"You're welcome. I'm just being pragmatic."

Yun Zhining reached out and pinched her chubby little face again, and then had her sent back to Concubine Feng in Yuhua Palace.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the Eighth Prince quickly said goodbye.

Only Yun Zhining, Xiao Pu Tao, the Fourth Princess and the Sixth Princess were left in the main hall.

The Fourth Princess glanced at the Sixth Princess who seemed to be indifferent and aloof, her eyes swept across the mocking Little Grape and fell on the serious Yun Zhining, her heart trembled.

"My Lady, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."

"Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"

"I shouldn't have been so optimistic. I knew that the hairpin was given to my fifth sister by my eldest sister, but I still tried to snatch it from her."

"I am willing to accept the punishment. Please, Your Majesty, I hope you will punish me."

"Since you already know you are wrong, I will not punish you severely."

"When you go back, copy the words 'filial piety' and 'brotherly love' a thousand times and think carefully about what they really mean and how to practice filial piety and brotherly love in the future."

Yun Zhining's punishment was not severe, but in the eyes of the Fourth Princess, it was a heavy slap in the face, and her tears fell instantly.

In Linghua Palace, Concubine An was playing with the Tenth Prince when she saw the Fourth Princess coming back with red eyes. She asked the wet nurse to continue playing with the Tenth Prince, then took the Fourth Princess into the main hall, helped her wipe away her tears, and asked softly.

"What happened? Why did you come back with red eyes? Did someone bully you?"

The fourth princess shook her head.

"No one bullied me. I did something wrong and was punished by the Imperial Concubine."

"What did you say?"

Concubine An was startled, and a hint of anxiety appeared between her brows.

Over the past seven years, Yun Zhining's pressure has become increasingly severe, and her methods of handling things have become more sophisticated, but she is not very strict with the princes and princesses, and generally does not punish them.

"Tell me honestly, what did you do wrong? Why did the Imperial Concubine punish you?"

The Fourth Princess told her exactly what had happened today, and Concubine An became furious after hearing it.

"I usually don't give you food or clothes, why are you so short-sighted that you actually did such a thing for a hairpin? How can you be worthy of my teachings?"

"Mother, I know I was wrong."

"In fact, I didn't intend to compete with Fifth Sister for the hairpin at first, but when she picked it up and showed it off proudly, I suddenly remembered that Concubine Feng showed off the gift given by the Imperial Concubine in front of you, and I felt a little unwilling."

"It was obviously you who got to know the Imperial Concubine first, but the Imperial Concubine favored Concubine Feng very much. Whenever there was something good, she would give it to Concubine Feng first. The same goes for my eldest sister and the third sister. Whenever there was something good, she would leave the best for my fifth sister. I really feel unfair for my mother, and I also feel unfair for myself."
