The wheels rolled forward, and inside the spacious carriage, the second lady asked, "What did you say to your aunt just now?"

Chu Heyi told the second wife exactly what he had said.

The second wife was surprised: "Aren't you afraid that she will spread your words?"

I couldn't help but worry: "Chu Runxue was raised by her. Although she is not her biological child, she is the only child under her knees and has a very deep affection for her. If she exaggerates a few words, it will be said that you spread rumors about Chu Runxue, which will be bad for your reputation."

"She won't spread it. If I have a bad reputation, Chu Runxue will also be implicated. She loves Chu Runxue, so she can't bear to let me go."

The Second Madam felt relieved after hearing her say this.

If you think about it carefully, the wife of Marquis Anyuan is indeed such a person.

After they entered the palace, they walked for a long time before they arrived at the place.

Chu Heyi looked up and saw three big words written on the plaque: Changqing Palace!

If there was no Evergreen City, this would be a good name, but because of the Evergreen City, the name of this palace becomes particularly intriguing.

Sure enough, later Chu Heyi casually asked Nanny Qi who was specially sent by the emperor to receive them, and he learned that the palace was not originally called this name, but was specially named by the emperor when they moved in.

Nanny Qi also said: "The emperor really values ​​the Zhenbei Marquisate."

Chu Heyi smiled: "Mammy, what you said hits the nail on the head. There are so many generals stationed at the borders of Daqi, but the emperor did not invite their families to live in the palace. He only invited my family from Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. This is really great for my Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. So I decided to ask the emperor for a reward later. He values ​​Zhenbei Marquis Mansion so much, he will definitely not refuse, right?"

Nanny Qi's expression suddenly became a little stiff.

What the emperor gives is called the imperial grace.

Anyone who actively asks for rewards is...overestimating their own abilities.

But Nanny Qi didn't want to say anything that might offend anyone, so she said, "I think so, but if the emperor is in a bad mood, it would be hard to say."

Chu Heyi stuffed a silver ingot into Madam Qi's hand and said, "Please lead the way, Madam Qi. We still have a long time to live in this palace, and we will need Madam Qi's care."

Nanny Qi really didn't expect that Chu Heyi would ask her to lead the way immediately after he said he wanted to see the emperor. She thought she would have to wait for three or two days.

But she was so sensible, the money was already in her hands, and her smile was so lovely and bright, that Nanny Qi couldn't refuse, so she let Chu Heyi follow her.

The imperial palace was huge, and Changqing Palace was located in a remote area. Chu Heyi followed Nanny Qi for half an hour but still hadn't arrived.

Instead, after turning around the lotus pond, I saw a little girl in front of me, catching butterflies with a round fan.

The girl was dressed luxuriously, with valuable pearls and jade on her head, which showed that she was of high social status. However, no one was following her. I guess she was busy catching butterflies and left the palace people behind.

"This is Princess Xinning." After giving the reminder, Nanny Qi brought Chu Heyi forward to pay her respects.

"You scared away all my butterflies!" The young princess pouted, looking very unhappy.

Madam Qi wanted to explain, but Chu Heyi took the lead: "We didn't deliberately scare away Her Highness's butterfly, but we saw blood on Her Highness's skirt, so we had to come forward to pay our respects. I wonder if Her Highness is feeling unwell?"

"My skirt is stained with blood? How come I didn't know that?" Princess Xinning touched behind her and indeed felt a lot of blood. She was immediately frightened.

Chu Heyi said gently: "Don't be afraid, Princess. If I am not mistaken, you should have your first period. This means that you have grown up, which is a great joy."

It turned out to be menarche!

Princess Xinning breathed a sigh of relief. Since she was eleven years old, her mother had always been concerned about whether she had her first period. The nanny beside her also told her that girls would have their first period when they grow up, so she knew about this in theory, but had never experienced it.

Now that she is thirteen years old, she has finally arrived.

"But they all say menstruation will cause abdominal pain, why don't I feel anything at all?"

"Everyone's physique is different, so the reactions are also different. For those who are weak, the abdominal pain will be relatively obvious."

As Chu Heyi was speaking, he noticed several maids and palace maids coming hurriedly towards him. They should be the ones who took care of Princess Xinning.

She stood up and took out two small things from the cloth bag she was carrying and handed them to Princess Xinning: "This is called Yue Anmian. Your Highness can use it. It is better than the ordinary menstrual belts in the palace."

"Thank you……"

"Princess, if you like it, you can come and see me. I live in Changqing Palace. Princess, please go back and take care of the skirt. I'll take my leave."

Without waiting for the princess to speak, Chu Heyi took Nanny Qi away.

After they walked away, Nanny Qi said, "The items used by the masters in the palace are delivered to their bedrooms by special people. If the young lady behaves like this today, it will easily cause trouble for her."

Chu Heyi said calmly: "Thank you for your advice, Madam. I will pay attention to it in the future. If the princess can use that thing, that's great. If not, that's fine too."

After walking for another incense stick of time, they finally arrived outside the Zichen Hall.

The emperor held court in the Chongde Hall, and the Zichen Hall was where the emperor handled memorials and discussed state affairs with his ministers after court.

It was noon and the emperor's morning court had ended. The guards were standing guard outside the Purple Palace. Nanny Qi brought Chu Heyi forward to explain their purpose, and the palace guard Yin Shao went inside to report.

The emperor was very surprised. He thought Chu Heyi would come to see him after three or five days - anyone with a little self-awareness would not wait that long!

But he never expected that Chu Heyi would come to him on the first day he entered the palace.

The emperor now particularly does not want to see anyone from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

However, he invited people from the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion into the palace, and his external reason was that he cared about them, took care of them, and resolved General Chu's worries.

It would have been fine if he hadn't gone to greet the other person on his first day in the palace, but now that the other person had come to pay his respects to him, he still refused to see her. How would the world view him? How would the historian write?

The emperor rubbed his brows and said, "Let her in."

Chu Heyi walked up to the emperor. It had been half a year since she returned to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. During this half year, she had grown taller, gained some weight, and her skin had become fairer.

The green dress makes her look bright and charming, which is very eye-catching.

The emperor was a little dazed for a moment. It was said that even a hero could not resist the temptation of a beautiful woman. It was rare that his son Dongfang Shuo chose the smart Chu Runxue in front of such a beautiful girl.

"Your servant Chu Heyi pays homage to His Majesty. Long live the emperor." Chu Heyi placed her hands on the ground and knelt down in worship.

"Stand up." The emperor said, "Have you seen where your family lives? If you are dissatisfied, tell Madam Qi and she will solve it."

"Everything else is fine, but there is only one thing I am not satisfied with. Madam Qi cannot make the decision, so I have no choice but to come to the emperor."

The emperor's eyebrows jumped. How dare someone say that he was not completely satisfied with the place he had granted him to live?

How dare she!

Are all girls who grew up in the countryside and have never received any etiquette so fierce?

However, the emperor could only suppress his anger and asked her, "What are you dissatisfied with?"
