This day was the eighth birthday of the third princess Yaoxiang. Because Huifei had just passed, Dong Yuheng refused to let Concubine Zhuang hold a grand ceremony, so she asked her to prepare a grand banquet in Yanxi Palace to give up. Concubine Zhuang obeyed the order and asked someone to invite the emperor, but the emperor did not go there. He just rewarded the third princess with eight golden purses that were carved for birthdays and eight silver purses that carved for peace according to the system. Concubine Zhuang's niece was disappointed. Concubine Zhuang's long nails were pinched into the flesh, and he clenched his silver teeth tightly, making his chest flutter.

Bao, Rui, Gui, Concubine!

Chen Ning was at this time, and Chen Mei was sitting in the main hall holding the sleeping Yaohan, looking a little restless, "Empress, I will come here too. Is it inappropriate? If Your Majesty knows..."

Chen Ning said: "Where can such a young child leave his mother? Although she is accompanied by a wet nurse, don't you say she always looks for you at night?"

"Yes..." Chen Mei tightened the child in her arms.

"That's it. I'll say to Your Majesty later, Your Majesty should agree."

"I thanked the Empress." Chen Mei stood up to salute, but was stopped by Chen Ning, "No need to get up."

Chen Mei had no choice but to sit upright and lower her head.

The two were silent for a while, and Chen Ning sighed lightly and spoke again, "Mei'er, because I moved to Fuxi Palace, I'm sorry for you."

Chen Mei hurriedly said, "The Empress is so serious, it is my concubine who disturbed the Empress's quietness."

"It's not like this, I..." Chen Ning wanted to say something but stopped. Although Chen Mei had slept with Dong Yuheng and even gave birth to a daughter made her very uncomfortable, she also blamed herself. If she hadn't pretended to die, or had helped Chen Mei make arrangements for her first, she wouldn't have entered the palace garden. What should she do in the future? She has given birth to a child, so she is afraid that she can't leave the palace. Should she have to live in the palace for the rest of her life?

It turns out that being from private is so difficult.

"Empress, I know that you must have your reason for doing this. It doesn't matter, really." Chen Mei said quickly.

Chen Ning could only nodded, "I'll invite my mother tomorrow, you haven't seen her for a long time?"

"Really? It's great." Chen Mei smiled in surprise, "Since the confinement period, I have never seen my mother again."

Chen Ning curled her lips. Since she returned to the palace, she immediately invited Mrs. Chen Er to come. She thought there would be a rebuke, but she didn't want Mrs. Chen Er to be covered in tears, and she was happy for her living and felt sorry for her suffering. She owed the love she owed more and more.

At this time, the wet nurse came over and said she wanted to place the Seventh Princess on the bed to sleep. Chen Meigang gave the person to her, but Yaohan woke up instead. But she didn't feel comfortable sleeping. She looked as if it was strange and she cried again.

Chen Mei quickly shook her lowered her coax, but she still couldn't stop the child from crying, so the wet nurse came forward to take the little princess. Before she could coax her, the eunuch's voice came from outside, and the emperor was lucky.

With the endless stream of requests, the cry of the little kid turned into a very interesting music. Before the emperor arrived at the main hall, the voice arrived first, "Why are there any crying children?"

The voice seemed a little unhappy, and Chen Mei and the wet nurse both raised their hearts.

Chen Ning met everyone, Dong Yuheng looked at Chen Mei and his group, frowned slightly, and looked at Chen Ning.

Chen Ning let him sit down first, and then told him the whole story.

In fact, Dong Yuheng also heard about this and agreed to the queen's approach, but he didn't expect that Chen Ning would agree to Chen Mei to follow him.

"Since the imperial concubine said so, the imperial concubine will take charge of it."

"Thank you Your Majesty, thank you Empress." Chen Mei hurriedly thanked her.

Dong Yuheng asked the wet nurse to hold the Seventh Princess and look forward for a while, then gave Chen Mei and others a few words to retreat.

The emperor turned his head to look at Chen Ning, who had no expression, and said with a smile: "I think Qi Jie'er looks like you, do you think she looks like you?"

Chen Ning heard this and said depressedly: "How do I know?"

As soon as he heard this, he knew that she had a bad temper and hugged her helplessly, "You woman, as soon as she returned to the palace, she got angry with Concubine Chen and I. Why did she agree to let the Seventh Princess come here again? And she also called Concubine Chen to come together?" He really couldn't understand her temperament.

Chen Ning knew that Dong Yuheng really didn't understand this seemed absurd problem for modern people. She pursed her lips before looking at him and said, "It's not them who are angry with me, it's you."

Hearing this, Dong Yuheng frowned, "This is the queen's idea, why do you blame me again?"

Chen Ning couldn't help but feel angry when he saw his expression. Alas, this feudal emperor with infinitely close to zero emotional intelligence! She bit her lower lip and said bluntly: "What I'm angry about is that you are so fickle and romantic, and you want to recruit all the beauties in the world into the harem, and even Chen Mei doesn't let it go."

"I have been talking nonsense. I have never collected beauties from all over the world for my own desires. The talent show is just a system that fills the harem every three years, for the sake of my Dong Clan Dynasty's blessing and prosperity." The only woman he got for his own desires was her. For some reason, she was not as beautiful as a fairy, not virtuous and generous, and never gave birth to children for him. These are nothing important. As long as she is by his side, he will be satisfied.

What he meant was to only regard women as playthings and tools for having children. He had always been a ruthless emperor, and he had personally experienced this. Chen Ning still doesn't know why he fell in love with such a man, nor does he know why he gave his tenderness to her.

"Don'er don't want me to have more children and more blessings?" Dong Yuheng asked, stroked her cheek.

Childhood has always been the most important thing in the feudal family. Chen Ning understood, but she still shook her head, "I don't want to give birth to you if I wasn't born to you."

Dong Yuheng hugged her pitifully, "Don't I want you to get pregnant with blood? It's just that you have suffered a great disaster and your body has been hollowed out. I have to take care of you first."

Chen Ning nodded, "I know." She actually didn't plan to get pregnant, and this was just right for her. Actually, it wasn't that she didn't want to take over an emperor and she was mentally prepared for what kind of crisis she would bring, but she couldn't imagine that the harem's resentment towards her turned to her children.

Seeing this, Dong Yuheng smiled helplessly, "Oh, you, the most jealous woman in the world, don't know where you developed such a temperament."

"Yuheng, you don't understand that no woman really wants the man she loves to hug another woman and let another woman give birth to his children unless she doesn't love him." Chen Ning looked at him, "This is true in ancient and modern times."

Dong Yuheng never had time to bother to understand women's thoughts. It was a bit incredible to hear her say, "You say all the women in the world are jealous women?" Then where did they learn the Three Obediences and Four Virtues?

"You put your heart in mind, if I have two or three husbands..."

"Stop!" Dong Yuheng interrupted her with an unhappy face and was talking nonsense again!

Chen Ning was amused and crying, "Look, you don't even want to give me an example."

"I am a husband, you are a woman."

"Men and women are all human beings, so what's the difference? In short, I know that you don't want me to have other men, and I don't want you to have other women. This is the human heart." Chen Ning pointed it out, and she understood that she couldn't let him accept it all at once.

Dong Yuheng fell silent. Chen Ning knew that he had listened to her words. He smiled and leaned against him and calmed down. He lowered his head and gently played with his fingers.

She knew that he had some meaning of boiling a frog in warm water, and also knew that many of his considerations were that he would not agree with the monogamy practice if he had not really taken her to heart. But could she not give the other person the way he did?

A few days later, the emperor rested and took Chen Ning to the Princess to sit for a while. When the queen came, the four of them had a conversation. The Princess was neither lukewarm nor warm to Chen Ning, and he only thought she was an ordinary concubine.

Dong Yuheng was afraid that the concubine would be exhausted, so he left Shouyang Palace.

The queen and the emperor talked about choosing a concubine for the general, saying that she would send someone to the Qiankun Palace for a moment. After Dong Yuheng agreed, she bowed and left.

Chen Ning has been observing Dong Yuheng and Meng Ya today. She looked at the tone and mood of the two of them, and felt a clear understanding in her heart.

After returning to Qiankun Palace, the emperor asked Chen Ning to sit in the study and play the piano to cheer him up. Chen Ning smiled and said.

However, before the Qin was taken from the Qin Pavilion, the scroll sent by the queen arrived. Chen Ning opened it quickly and the few people she invited were indeed in the list. She pulled out Princess Le'an, Princess Lehua and County Lord Qingyun and placed it in front of the emperor, patted it and said, "Let General Huang meet these three first."

Dong Yuheng looked at the character and raised his eyebrows, "You are so concerned." No wonder she was interested in asking a noble girl to come to the palace to accompany her a while ago, "But Lehua... do you like it too?" He glanced at her strangely.

"What's wrong?" Chen Ning was puzzled.

"Lehua is very timid. I heard that she fainted when she saw a mouse when she was young. Although she has grown a little over the years, I have scared her to cry once." However, when she looked at her with a slight sarcastic look, she turned pale.

"Really?" Chen Ning was happy and asked unkindly, "What else is there to do with her?" She hadn't heard a joke for a long time.

Dong Yuheng glared at her angrily, "Is it a gift to ask?" She dared to ask these questions.

Chen Ning pouted, "You know, but you just don't want to say it."

"Nonsense," Dong Yuheng cursed with a smile, "Why did you like her if I ask you?"

Chen Ning smiled and glanced at him, "I can't guarantee that General Huang will be fine."

"I don't have a good attitude to speak." Dong Yuheng scolded her without hesitation, then asked her to grind the ink and asked casually, "Are you helping Miss Hua find a way out?"

Chen Ning stepped forward, smiling faintly.

Seeing this, the emperor stared at her with a smile, "What strange things are you thinking about?"

"I want to welcome Brother Huang."

"I'm holding a banquet in the palace and let you go."

"I want to hold a banquet for him in private."

"Nothing." Dong Yuheng frowned.

"Why are you messing around?"

"Why do you, a concubine, want to invite a banquet for foreign ministers?" Still dare to ask in front of him?

"Is the life-saving benefactor a reason?" Chen Ning looked at him directly, "Not only him, I have always thought about having a banquet for General Jian, Feng Baolan, Han Zhen, by the way, you and Father Wanfu."

Every time she said a name, the emperor's heart kept sinking. It turned out that she had already missed death so many times.

"I'm considering it." He couldn't refuse her reason.

"Good man!" Chen Ning immediately smiled happily when he heard this, and stepped forward to grab his neck and kissed him.

"Okay, help me polish the ink." Dong Yuheng held her waist and curled her lips.

"As for your order, my Majesty." Chen Ning laughed.

At this time, Liu Youqin sent it over, Liuli placed the Qin and led the people out again.

The emperor chose a brush, looked at the piano on the desk, and suddenly said, "I heard that the Yuzhou Qu family has a peerless piano, named Zifeng, I wonder how much I can compare to the likes?"

Chen Ning chuckled, "You have to hear that before you know it."

After saying that, she glanced at the portrait again, hesitated for a moment, and said the unavoidable thing, "So, the Queen is also choosing a concubine for the eldest prince."

Dong Yuheng thought about another thing in his mind and responded casually.

Chen Ning paused and cleared his throat, "The Empress thought that the two girls in the Shen family looked very beautiful and liked them very much."

The emperor's hand that was about to dip ink stopped, and he looked up at Chen Ning, "Oh?"

Chen Ning nodded with a tough head.

Dong Yuheng raised his eyebrows and continued his actions just now, saying, "The Queen thought she wanted to imitate her mother and the Queen Mother," he paused and explained, "Concubine De has a real sister, who was originally my concubine. She entered the palace with Concubine Xian. She was chosen by the Queen Mother early in the morning, but she died later on the brink of delivery."

"Oh..." Chen Ning didn't want to turn over the old lies with him, so he had to respond stupidly.

"What do you think?" Dong Yuheng smoothed the paper and began to write.
