Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

Rufang was very anxious along the way and wanted to return to Fengyi Palace as soon as possible to tell the Queen about the cold treatment she had received in Prince Heng's Mansion.

But Meng Yunshang was not in a hurry. Not only did she walk slowly, but she also chatted with Danqiu and Dangui who were traveling with her from time to time.

If Rufang urged her, she would look over with a chill. Although she said nothing, her aura, which was exactly the same as King Heng's, was enough to make people tremble.

After finally reaching Fengyi Palace, Rufang instantly regained her aura.

She straightened her back and told Meng Yunshang in a condescending manner, "I will go in and report to the Queen first. Princess Heng, please wait here for a moment."

As for how long this moment is, it is up to her.

But Meng Yunshang didn't indulge her. "It's getting late. Please prepare lunch for me first."

Rufang: “???”

"Why, the Queen invited me to the palace, but she couldn't even arrange lunch for me? Or is it that the Queen has not been favored by the Emperor recently, so the entire Fengyi Palace has to depend on others for its favor?"

This was so bold that Rufang was so shocked that she didn't know how to respond.

After hesitating for a long time, she managed to squeeze out a few words, "Your Highness and the Emperor are deeply in love, Princess Heng should stop talking nonsense."

Meng Yunshang laughed, "Since it is not convenient for Her Majesty the Queen to stay here, then I will go to the Xianfei Palace to sit down and have a meal. I think my prince will not blame Her Majesty the Queen."

Rufang was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.

Everyone in the palace knew that the Queen and Concubine Xian had always been at odds with each other. Meng Yunshang followed the Queen's order to enter the palace, but she did not enter Fengyi Palace and went to sit in Concubine Xian's palace.

If this were to get to the ears of King Heng, who knows what kind of misunderstanding he would get.

Not to mention, if Concubine Xian told the emperor about her gossip, he would definitely blame the empress for disregarding their brotherhood.

After thinking it over, Rufang was very sure that Meng Yunshang did it on purpose. She had even thought of her excuse at this moment since she left her in front of Prince Heng's mansion.

Rufang's face turned pale, but she could do nothing about Meng Yunshang, and she didn't dare to neglect Meng Yunshang.

I could only speak respectfully, "Princess Heng, please follow me. I will prepare lunch for you right away."

"The dishes in the Imperial Palace's kitchen are definitely better than those in Prince Heng's mansion, Rufang, am I right?"

Rufang gritted her teeth and said, "Of course."

Without the Queen's order, even if she went to serve the meal, those old sly guys in the imperial kitchen might not be very enthusiastic and could only use money to get the job done.

Originally, she just wanted to deal with two dishes casually, but Meng Yunshang was like a worm in her stomach, blocking all her escape routes.

A table better than the one at Prince Heng's Palace cannot be purchased with just a few taels of silver.

The thought of spending her own savings on Meng Yunshang made her feel like vomiting blood.

But in front of Meng Yunshang, she couldn't show any displeasure, otherwise she would be used as a handle to attack the Queen.

I'm so angry, but I can't say it.

Meng Yunshang seemed not to notice that her face was pale and blue, and just smiled faintly, "In that case, I will wait for you."

Rufang gritted her teeth and led Meng Yunshang to the side hall of Fengyi Palace. She also sent someone she trusted to the imperial kitchen to serve the meal. After making sure that there would be no mistakes, she hurried to the main hall to report to Queen Chen.

After hearing her retelling, Empress Chen slammed the table in anger, "What! Meng Yunshang is so bold!"

"My lady, I feel that Meng Yunshang is more difficult to deal with than before."

"Humph," Empress Chen disapproved, "You can't even handle a brainless idiot. You're really going from bad to worse!"

"No, madam, it's Meng Yunshang..."

Rufang tried to explain herself anxiously, but Empress Chen refused to listen.

She interrupted Rufang impatiently, "Alright, call her over here. I want to meet her in person."

Rufang reminded carefully, "But your majesty, you haven't eaten yet, otherwise..."

When Queen Chen heard this, she thought, that’s right. Why should Meng Yunshang enjoy a good life in her territory while she has to starve and scold others?

"Then serve the meal first."

After thinking for a while, Empress Chen added, "My dishes must be more sumptuous than Meng Yunshang's."

Rufang should be fine.

Meng Yunshang in the side hall was also busy. She told Danqiu, "Go to the imperial kitchen later and write down the dishes that the queen prepared for lunch today. When you leave the palace, you can chat with the storytellers in the teahouse."

Danqiu responded calmly.

Due to years of war on the border, the treasury was empty and the soldiers were short of food and clothing.

The emperor advocated frugality throughout the Yuan Dynasty, and even the empress dowager's Kunning Palace put it into practice. However, only Empress Chen's Fengyi Palace was still extravagant and wasteful.

However, no matter how luxurious it was in the past, it was only in the harem, and the people outside the palace were unaware of it.

Now that the princess is intentionally fanning the flames secretly, it will only take a moment for the people to know about Queen Chen's extravagant lifestyle.

The Chen family, as the queen's mother's family, was also not spared.

However, Danqiu felt that they deserved it, because they dared to attack the young master.

If the princess really wants to protect someone, she will definitely spare no effort.

Half an hour later, Meng Yunshang had eaten and drunk her fill, and Rufang also brought a message from the Queen that she wanted to see her.

Meng Yunshang went to the main hall of Fengyi Palace.

The sisters-in-law met again after many years. From the moment Meng Yunshang entered the palace, Empress Chen had been staring at her with a keen eye.

When Queen Chen saw that Meng Yunshang was slimmer and more delicate than before, her eyes were filled with jealousy.

As a woman, she became a resentful woman in the deep palace. But Meng Yunshang's condition is better than five years ago. What's the reason?

Empress Chen was not convinced. She felt sour in her heart that she couldn't help but choke back, "After not seeing you for so many years, Princess Heng is still so naive. How lucky she is."

Meng Yunshang smiled nonchalantly, "Your Highness is right. I have no ambitions. I cannot compare to you who command the six palaces with such majesty."

"It's been a while since we last met, why does Your Majesty look so tired?"

"I……"

"It must be the emperor who has troubled you, right?" Meng Yunshang blinked her big eyes and looked at the queen, with an expression that said, "You don't need to tell me, I understand."

But the next sentence was insulting, "If I were to say, Your Majesty is really something. He knows that the Empress has many palace affairs, but he still..."

"Cough cough..." Queen Chen was almost choked to death by her own saliva!

Who taught Meng Yunshang to speak like that!

"You are so tired, Madam. I feel sorry for you. Why don't you find someone to share the burden? Men are so fresh and youthful. Although I am your first wife, I am getting older and not as experienced as those young girls."

"If Your Majesty doesn't have a suitable candidate, I can help you choose one outside the palace. Whether it's a gentle and generous lady from a noble family, a chivalrous woman who travels the world, or a daughter of a general, I can help you find one."

"Enough!" Queen Chen finally couldn't control herself. She slapped the table and looked at Meng Yunshang with obvious anger.

Don't think that she didn't hear it, Meng Yunshang's words were clearly the same words she said back then.

At that time, she took advantage of the fact that Meng Yunshang was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to serve her, so she selected a few palace maids and prepared to have them take her in on the pretext of her status as the eldest sister-in-law.

But in the end, not only did he fail to send the person away, but he also got himself grounded.

After so many years, Meng Yunshang actually brought up the old matter again and ridiculed her. She was really bold.

"Look at yourself. You don't have the manners of a princess at all. You're making noises like a commoner. It's really unlucky for Prince Heng to marry you."

Meng Yunshang sneered: "I am not as capable as you, my lady."

Just as Queen Chen was about to be proud of the intimidating effect her words had on Meng Yunshang, she heard Meng Yunshang say again.

"I haven't been able to prepare a candidate in advance. But Liuli, who is beside the Queen Mother, is pretty good. She has the charm of the Queen Mother when she was young. I think she is the type that the Emperor likes."

Empress Chen's expression froze, she knew about Liuli behind the Empress Dowager.

The emperor did mention it to her, saying that Liuli had been with the empress dowager for many years, and her behavior was extremely appropriate, making her a role model for women.

More importantly, Liuli was not an ordinary palace maid, but a distant niece from the Empress Dowager's family. The Empress Dowager kept her by her side with the intention of showing her a good appearance.

Meng Yunshang's words forced Queen Chen to think deeply. Could it be that the Emperor was the man chosen by the Queen Mother for Liuli?
