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

"The Emperor is worried that Ming Xiaoyi will be frightened and will not sleep well at night. He wants to accompany her, but he cannot abandon the Empress. So he should find someone else to accompany Ming Xiaoyi."

That makes sense!

Qi Yejing nodded, and soon became worried again.

"Ming Xiaoyi has been in the palace for less than half a year, and she has always lived in seclusion and rarely interacted with other people. I really can't think of a suitable candidate for the time being."

We can't let Mrs. Lin go to accompany her, right?

That's definitely not right.

Firstly, Mrs. Lin had to take care of Feng'er and couldn't get away. Secondly, she was a lady after all, and it would be too inappropriate for her to lower herself to take care of a little girl like Xiaoyi.

This is exactly what Zhou Cainv wanted him to say.

"If Your Majesty does not mind, I am willing to accompany Ming Xiaoyi."

"you?"

Qi Yejing glanced at her.

Not to mention, Zhou Cainv is indeed a very good candidate. Her rank is lower than Yun Zhining's. Accompanying Yun Zhining will not humiliate her, but will elevate her status. Moreover, she has spoken out to help Yun Zhining before, so she should have a good impression of Yun Zhining and will not hurt her. So all in all, she is indeed very suitable.

However, this also requires the opinions of the parties involved. If Yun Zhining doesn't like Zhou Cainv, he can't force her to accept Zhou Cainv.

"Ming Xiaoyi, are you willing to let Zhou Cainv accompany you?"

"I am willing."

Seeing Yun Zhining nodded without hesitation, Qi Yejing breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back quickly."

"Concubine, please retire."

Yun Zhining bowed slightly, turned around and left, but Zhou Cainv did not leave. Instead, she hesitated for a moment, walked up to Qi Yejing and whispered.

"Your Majesty, can I talk to you alone about something?"

The way back was quiet, and the only sound they could hear was the footsteps of people around them. Yun Fulan did not come back with them, so they could also chat about something.

"My lady, what kind of person do you think Zhou Cainv is?"

"I can't tell, but I can tell that she is a smart person."

At present, she is the most dazzling person in the harem. As long as he follows her during this period of time, he will definitely leave some impression in Qi Yejing's heart. If he is lucky, he may even be favored by the emperor or even get pregnant.

Even if she is not as lucky as her, her situation is still better than before, that's why she is said to be a smart person!

Qingzhu also thought Zhou Cainv was quite smart, but...

"My lady, you still have to be careful and never let your guard down. It would be bad if she was sent by someone to murder your unborn child."

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. I won't trust someone so easily."

"That's good. I will stand guard outside the door tonight. If anything goes wrong, just shout for me and I will rush in to save you immediately."

"okay, I get it."

Yun Zhining raised her lips and smiled, but her eyes were very cold.

Although Zhou Cainv's behavior tonight was a little strange, for some reason, she always felt that Zhou Cainv really wanted to accompany her and had no intention of hurting her, so she did not think too much about this matter, but focused all her attention on tonight's incident, as well as the fact that Yun Fulan had been framed, stripped of her title, and sent to the cold palace.

In her previous life, she never found out who framed Yun Fulan until she died. Although on the surface, this matter had nothing to do with her, in the long run, she must find the real culprit in order to be invincible. Otherwise, she might end up like Yun Fulan, and by then there would be no one like her to save her.

As for what happened tonight, she had a few guesses, but no evidence, so she needed to investigate carefully.

"Sister Ming, wait for me, Sister Ming!"

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard a voice behind her. She slowly turned around and saw Zhou Cainv and her maid Yaer running towards her breathlessly.

"Sister Ming, why didn't you tell me when you left? I had to chase you for a long way."

Yun Zhining raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile.

"I was afraid that it would affect your conversation with the Emperor, wasn't it?"

"What? I just wanted to ask the emperor for a favor based on what happened tonight."

"What are you busy with?"

"Don't worry, you'll know tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Zhou Cainv pushed Qingzhu aside, reached out to support Yun Zhining, and slowly walked towards Furong Pavilion. For a moment, Qingzhu didn't know who Yun Zhining's maid was.

When I returned, one part of Furong Pavilion was already lit up, it seemed that Yun Fulan had returned a long time ago.

Yun Zhining shook her head and chuckled, then took Zhou Cainv and others in.

Zhou Cainv looked around and frowned slightly.

"Sister Ming, your room is too small, don't you feel cramped?"

"Of course not. The smaller the house, the less dirt and filth there are, and it is easier to clean."

"Besides, I already knew Yun Fulan would come out. Instead of making trouble at that time, it's better not to get involved from the beginning, so as to avoid some harm."

"Ok."

No one cares, so why should she say anything here? She won't live here for long anyway. After she gives birth to the baby, the emperor will definitely move her to another palace.

With this thought, Zhou Cainü’s mood calmed down.

"Sister Ming, please settle down first. I'm going to go to the toilet and will be back soon."

"Xiao Kui, go with Zhou Cainv."

"No need, Sister Ming, Hibiscus Pavilion is not very big, I'll find out after looking around."

After saying that, she turned and ran out, and Yun Zhining didn't have time to stop her.

Forget it, just let her be.

Qingzhu helped her make the bed and said with a puzzled look on his face.

"My lady, do you find it strange that Zhou Cainu seems to have come to our Hibiscus Pavilion on purpose? But I really can't figure out what she has planned here?"

Yun Zhining couldn't figure it out either.

"It doesn't matter. With time, the truth will come out."

I hope nothing happens.

Facts have proved that Qingzhu's worries were unnecessary. Not only did Zhou Cainv not hurt Yun Zhining, she also took good care of her. Yun Zhining thought she would have a nightmare tonight, but as soon as she lay down and smelled the faint milky scent emanating from Zhou Cainv, her mood calmed down. After a few breaths, she slowly fell asleep, and then slept until dawn.

Today is the first day of the new year. Xiao Dongzi and others started busying themselves early in the morning, cleaning every corner of Furong Pavilion and pasting up blessing characters and couplets. Everyone was in high spirits.

"Happy New Year, my lord."

"Happy New Year, my lord."

"Happy New Year, my lord."

"Happy New Year!"

After getting dressed, Yun Zhining gathered everyone together and gave them New Year's money. There was laughter and joy in the side hall, but in the main hall, Yun Fulan's face was livid and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.

Who was the person who did it last night? Why didn't he just stab Yun Zhining in the stomach? If he had done that, the baby in Yun Zhining's stomach would have been gone. She would have been lying on the bed crying now instead of happily welcoming the New Year. He deliberately embarrassed her.

After sending out her own people, Yun Zhining did not forget the other two people.

"Ya'er, this is New Year's money. It may be a little small, but it is also a token of my love. You must accept it."

"Thank you, Ming Xiaoyi."

Yaer happily took the purse and opened it. She found a ten-liang silver ingot inside. She was instantly excited.

"Ming Xiaoyi, you are such a good person, so generous."

Unlike her young master, every time she gives a reward, she only gives one or two taels of silver. She is too stingy.

Zhou Cainv understood what she meant and snorted coldly.

"Why, do you want me to ask the Emperor to transfer you to Furong Pavilion to serve you?"

Yaer chuckled.

"That's a great feeling, thank you, my Lord, you are also a good person."

Zhou Cainv punched her in the face and Yaer felt pain instantly.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Just as she was watching the excitement, she heard a loud noise coming from outside, and Yun Zhining's face instantly turned ugly.

"Qingzhu, go out and see what's going on?"

"Yes, my lord."
