Traveling through time and space

"My father is so overbearing! He's even deprived me of the right to name my children," Gu Yuanyuan muttered, but she didn't dare to protest. "My children, I only hope you'll live a peaceful and happy life as a family." After giving birth, her eyes naturally lit up with maternal love. "Let's call the eldest Tuantuan, the second Yuanyuan, and the third Guoguo," Gu Yuanyuan asked the people around her, looking at the three children.

"Yes, as mothers, we only hope that our children can be safe and sound." The eldest princess picked up the eldest child and said, "Yuanyuan, the children are easy to tell apart. The eldest has a mole on her left wrist, the second has a mole behind her right ear, and the third has two xuan'er on his head."

"Mother is so attentive." Gu Yuanyuan observed carefully with curiosity. It was true. The next day was the children's third-day baptism ceremony, and the eldest princess was the host. What Gu Yuanyuan did not expect was that in the afternoon, the emperor and the queen came in person. Gu Yuanyuan got up, packed up and went to meet them.

"Yuanyuan is so lucky to have given birth to three sons for the prince. Yuanyuan may not know this yet, but my cousin Nana is pregnant with the prince's child. It's been almost five months. I had her pulse checked and she said she's pregnant with a daughter. Yuanyuan will also have a son and a daughter in the future." The tone was so arrogant. "And the queen mother will also love these grandsons and granddaughters very much."

"Empress, is there any relationship between your cousin's daughter and this princess?" Gu Yuanyuan didn't want to save face for her anymore, so she stood up and said, "Please ask the ladies to go out for a walk," Gu Yuanyuan looked at her father and asked the others to go out. Her father nodded, and the others went out. "Father, Yuanyuan can't bear it any longer. Since she can't bear it any more, there's no need to bear it anymore. Don't blame Yuanyuan for not saving you face. It's just that Yuanyuan doesn't want to put herself in a difficult position. People only live for one lifetime. Why should Yuanyuan put herself in a difficult position to make others happy? That's not cost-effective, and it's not Yuanyuan's style of dealing with things. Now that the child is born, it's time to settle some accounts," the father looked at the queen and said nothing, "Father, Yuanyuan wants to give you a big gift. Xiao Maozi, bring those girls in." Soon, Xiao Maozi brought in two girls and one boy.

"Ruyi, Ruxi, Ruyuan, why are you here?" Yin Ruyi stood up excitedly.

"Father, you said the Empress's father was an honest official. Do you know that the three people in front of you are his illegitimate children from his concubines? The Empress has been secretly supporting them all these years."

"Eldest sister," the three people who came in saw Yin Ruyi and walked forward carefully, wanting to get close to her, but they didn't dare.

"Yin Ruyi, don't you want to get closer? These are your half-siblings, your only relatives in this world."

"How did they get into your hands?" Yin Ruyi asked angrily.

"The slaves I bought weren't expensive, thirty taels of silver each. These two girls look pretty good. I was thinking of training them well and sending them to Yan Cai Tower. Maybe they could become the top girls. Or maybe I could just give them to you, Father, as concubines or something. They look good and are pretty hardworking, so they can serve you well."

"Nonsense."

"Father, Yuanyuan's filial piety, father, don't you accept it?" Gu Yuanyuan smiled, "There are only two options for the three of them. One is to send them to the palace and become your concubines, the other is to send them all to Yan Cailou."

"Your Majesty, please return my younger brother and sister to me." The Queen stood up and knelt before the Emperor.

"Queen, you've asked the wrong person. You should have asked me. At first, the emperor said he liked you, but your family background wasn't worthy of the throne. But Yuanyuan said, if the emperor really liked you, and said you were kind and gentle by nature, you're not that kind or gentle anymore."

Yin Ruyi stood up and asked, "What do you want?"

"Empress, this princess doesn't want to do anything, but you are such a cruel woman. Since you are so unkind, don't blame this princess for being unjust. You actually drugged Prince De and gave him women. Are you trying to win over Zhao Zimo, or are you just trying to make things difficult for this princess? If you are trying to win over Zhao Zimo, you made a wrong move. The prince is a loyal minister, and my father is his only master. If you just want to make things difficult for this princess, this princess can make sure that your wishes are not fulfilled, because those women are not worthy. So, this princess has nothing to say to you."

"Queen, what do you mean?" asked the emperor.

"Your Highness, I just want Prince De to have more children."

"Yin Ruyi, why don't you tell the truth?" The emperor was angry.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty," the Queen knelt down before the Emperor again, "Your Majesty, your ...

"I'm the Emperor's biological daughter, lost and found. He's been kind to me, and yet you're not happy?" This reasoning made Gu Yuanyuan laugh. "Or do you think your father can only be kind to you? What about the many concubines in the harem? Or has the Empress used some special trick to prevent the concubines from bearing your father's children these past few years?" "Gu Yuanyuan hasn't done any research on this; it's completely a lie."

"There's this matter? I'll look into it thoroughly." The emperor seemed to be lost in thought. This was not Yuanyuan's business. "Yuanyuan, you're not feeling well. Sit down and talk. What do you want to do with these individuals? The incident happened, and it has to be resolved. The emperor knows you have your thoughts."

"Father, Yuanyuan can also keep them as servants in the palace. It depends on whether the Empress is sincere."

"So what does the princess want?"

"Don't overthink it, Queen. I won't transfer these three. As for your sincerity, will the Queen personally deal with the four women sent to Prince De?"

"I've dealt with those four women, so you just take care of these three..."

"Your Majesty is overthinking it. Executing those four will only ensure that I won't send them to the palace or a brothel." Gu Yuanyuan said this with certainty, leaving no room for doubt.

"I can't control this matter. The princess bought the slaves, so she naturally has the right to deal with them. But don't have those little thoughts in the future, otherwise I will not forgive you."

"Your Majesty, your humble concubine..."

"Father, Yuanyuan is tired and needs to rest. Yuanyuan also thanks grandfather for the gifts on behalf of the children." Gu Yuanyuan bowed to his father.

"Royal brother, Yuanyuan has only been born three days ago, and you're already keeping her talking. What if she develops a chronic illness?" The eldest princess came in and pulled Gu Yuanyuan out. "That's right. Without your mother by your side, there's no one to think about your future."

"Royal sister, Yuanyuan and the children are entrusted to you."

"Your Majesty, I know that if anyone bullies Yuanyuan again, I will do it first if you don't take action." The eldest princess helped Gu Yuanyuan out of the door.

"Mom, Yuanyuan is not the kind of daughter you want. She is arrogant and domineering."

"That's how it should be. Mom doesn't want the kind of girl who can't even fart even if you hit her with three sticks. She doesn't dare to resist anything. Others would feel unfair to her if they don't bully her." Gu Yuanyuan knew that her words were suggestive.

"Mom, everyone has their own personality. Yuanyuan just wants to live like this." In front of the eldest lady, Gu Yuanyuan didn't hold on any longer. When she lay down again, she felt tired. Although it was just a critical moment of the event, Gu Yuanyuan attended it simply with the wet nurses holding the children, and she was also a little tired.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Just wait until you're well again before dealing with them."

"I feel uncomfortable and I have to find a chance to vent my anger." Gu Yuanyuan lay down again. Gu Yuanyuan had a good foundation. After ten days, she was able to get out of bed and move freely. Gu Yuanyuan had not decided who would be responsible for the children. She had to have someone she trusted to look after the children. Now Xia Mei and Qiu Mei were responsible for all the children's affairs, and these girls did a good job.

"Princess, you are still in confinement. You should go to bed and have a good rest, otherwise there will be sequelae when you get old." Nanny Shang pulled Gu Yuanyuan, who was sitting on a chair thinking about something, to the bed.

"Mammy, look, isn't this princess okay now?"

"The princess is exactly the same as she was before she became pregnant with the little prince."

"You are still young, how can you understand so much?"

"Let's talk about business, Nanny Shang, Dongmei, we need a few trustworthy people to take care of the children. Those little girls can only do odd jobs and can't take care of anything big. Do you think Chunmei, Qiumei and Xiamei can take care of the children's affairs?" Gu Yuanyuan asked.

"I've observed them carefully these past few days, and the three of them work well together. Chunmei is attentive and can arrange some details reasonably. Qiumei and Xiamei are very clever and clever, and they've arranged the young masters' food, clothing, housing and transportation very well." Nanny Shang seemed to be hesitant to speak, and Gu Yuanyuan gestured for her to speak directly. "Princess, Nanny Hao has been with me for the past six months. I think she's loyal and honest, and she's well-deserved of her previous position as a hostess. She handles things cleanly and efficiently, and she's not as slow and cumbersome as the others. I think her ability to handle things is even better than mine."

"Madam Shang, do you think she is useful?" Gu Yuanyuan asked.

"Yes, these days, she has done everything I asked her to do very well, and she has also done everything you didn't ask her to do. She is also very careful and not the type of person who will just do whatever you ask her to do. She is also very smart and kind-hearted."

"Princess, this Madam Hao is quite good. She is very dedicated and works diligently. She won't cheat or slack off." Dongmei agreed. Gu Yuanyuan still believed what they said.

"Since you all say she is good, I naturally believe her. But I have other plans for her. The two farms that Prince Huan's Mansion compensated me with have not been used yet. I am thinking of using one farm specifically to grow some vegetables and fruits. I want to take back a few shops and open my own store, and let Madam Hao take care of it. What do you think?" Gu Yuanyuan wanted to open a few shops, so she had to have someone of her own to take care of them.

"Princess, the vegetables grown in Wuming Manor and the field next to it are enough for our several mansions to eat."

"Do you all know Le Shan Tang?" Gu Yuanyuan asked.

"I know. I heard that they are all homeless old people and children." Dongmei thought about it.

"This princess has always had an idea to go to Leshantang."

"Princess, do you want to donate some money to them?"

Gu Yuanyuan shook her head. "It's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. This princess wants to see for herself that those who are able to act can earn their own living."

"Our princess is so kind." Everyone laughed as they talked. Finally, Gu Yuanyuan decided that Qiumei and Xiamei would be responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the three young masters of Tong Baoxuan, while Rumei would be responsible for the management of all the servants of Tong Baoxuan, including the wet nurses.

After they all left, Gu Yuanyuan slept for a while in the space. When the time was almost up, she left the space and went through the tunnel to the courtyard on the east side of Yuhuai East Lane. "Meet the master." Yu Lin and

Yi Fei and his men knelt down and kowtowed.
