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

"No way, you really hid something in the room?"

"Let me find out what it is."

"No, Your Majesty!"

Seeing Qi Yejing getting up and searching everywhere, Yun Zhining rushed over and tried to stop him, but she didn't expect that she used too much force and knocked the box on the top of the bookshelf down.

Seeing the box fall down and covered with a little dust, Yun Zhining quickly ran over to pick up the box. Before she could hide it, Qi Yejing snatched it away.

"Why are you so nervous? What's in this?"

"It's just some love poems I copied. Nothing important."

"I don't believe it."

After that, he opened the box.

There was indeed a stack of love poems inside.

Last night the west wind withered the green trees. I went up to the tall building alone and looked at the endless road to the horizon.

The belt gradually widened and he didn't regret it.

Suddenly looking back, the man was in the dim light.

First she was sad, disappointed, and confused, then she was heartbroken and haggard, and finally she looked back inadvertently and found that what she was looking for was the surprise and enlightenment that had been behind her all along. On the surface, she wrote about the various stages of love, but in fact she talked about the realm of life. I didn't expect that she had such literary talent.

"Isn't it normal for a woman to write some love poems? Why are you hiding it?"

"I am afraid that the emperor will say that I am sad and depressed and will never come to see me again, right?"

"Don't worry, I won't."

Qi Yejing had just sorted out the love poems and was about to put them in the box when he noticed that Yun Zhining's expression was a little strange.

He immediately realized that there must be something else hidden in it, that was the key point, and these love poems were just smokescreens on top.

Thinking of this, he threw the love poem aside, reached out and knocked on the box, and found that the bottom was hollow.

"Bah!"

The wooden board was pushed open, revealing the golden notebook inside. Yun Zhining's eyes went dark and she almost fainted.

Xiaohe Palace.

After dinner, Empress Dowager Xiaoci was just about to go back to her room to think about her new storybook when she saw Qi Yejing coming, followed by Yun Zhining and Zhou Baozhu. They both had sad faces and it was obvious that they had encountered some trouble.

Empress Dowager Xiaoci sighed.

I knew this day would come, but I didn't expect it to come so soon.

"My son, I send my regards to my mother."

"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

"No courtesy, please get up."

"Emperor, it's so late. Why don't you take a good rest in Qingning Palace? Why do you bring Mingpin and Zhou Yingyan to Xiaohe Palace?"

Qi Yejing did not answer her question, but asked Dong Ling to invite Empress Dowager Xiaoyan over.

When they heard him asking people to invite Empress Dowager Xiaoyan, Yun Zhining and others immediately spoke up to stop her. Empress Dowager Xiaoci was the most nervous.

Because she was the mastermind of this matter, Mingpin and Zhou Ying were just accomplices. In fact, Zhou Ying had nothing to do with this matter at all. It was just because she liked the storybooks that Mingpin gave her a set.

It’s really unfair!

"Emperor, if you encounter any problems, you can tell me. Empress Dowager Xiaoyan is busy with the affairs of the former court and the harem every day. She is really too busy. You should not disturb her unless it is absolutely necessary."

"But now it has come to a point of last resort, and it is time for Empress Dowager Xiaoyan to step in."

"Dong Ling, what are you still standing there for? Go and invite Empress Dowager Xiaoyan!"

Empress Dowager Xiaoci tried to stop them in vain and could only watch as Dongling went to invite Empress Dowager Xiaoyan.

Yun Zhining and Zhou Baozhu had already hung their heads and could only wait quietly for the final verdict.

Empress Dowager Xiaoyan arrived soon.

"What happened, Your Majesty?"

"Mother, do you want to say it yourself, or should I let Mingpin say it for you?"

"I will take full responsibility for what I did. Please don't make things difficult for Mingpin. She was forced."

Empress Dowager Xiaoci glared at her son, then looked at Empress Dowager Xiaoyan, feeling very aggrieved.

"I am now the Queen Mother, supreme and in a position of power. No one dares to bully me. The Emperor handled the affairs of the previous dynasty very well. There were some minor quarrels in the harem from time to time, but the Queen handled them very well. She didn't need me at all. I was bored being alone, so I thought of writing some storybooks to kill time."

"When I was young, I wanted to be a great storyteller, but the conditions did not allow it at that time, so I could only bury it in my heart. Now, I have status and position, and I have no shortage of time and money, so I want to realize my dream when I was young."

"So you secretly wrote the storybook and asked Mingpin to help you sell it?"

"Of course not. Mingpin had just entered the palace and was unfamiliar with the place. How could she have such ability? I just asked her to help me polish it. After the revision, I asked the palace maid to take it out and find a bookstore to sell it. Guess what happened?"

"The storybook I wrote has become popular. Now people are discussing it on the streets and alleys. Even the storytellers in the teahouse have started talking about it. The bookstore owner took this opportunity to launch a woodblock printed version. I bought three copies, one for my own collection, and the other two for Mingpin and Zhou Yingying. Zhou Yingying helped me make revisions and Mingpin helped me revise and polish it. This is what they deserve."

Qi Yejing was almost pissed off by her.

"My mother, you are the dignified mother and empress dowager. You can do whatever you want. Why do you have to spend your time writing storybooks?"

"Let's take a step back. Even if you really like to write storybooks, why can't you just write them secretly in Xiaohe Palace? Why do you have to sell the storybooks and cause people in the court and the public to discuss them?"

"What's the point of writing secretly by myself? I want to share it with everyone and get everyone's feedback. This will give me a sense of accomplishment."

"You are already the Queen Mother, don't you feel a sense of accomplishment?"

"I want a sense of accomplishment brought by myself, not a sense of accomplishment brought by others. Do you understand?"

"I don't know."

"you,……"

In a rage, Empress Dowager Xiaoci picked up the teacup and smashed it on his shoulder. With a "bang", the teacup fell to the ground. Qi Yejing was fine, but Yun Zhining had a hole in his forehead and blood was gushing out.

Empress Dowager Xiaoci was frightened and immediately sent for Imperial Physician Chen.
