The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Nuoqing, the senior palace maid beside Concubine Zheng, came to Changqing Palace.

"Second Madam, my queen heard that there are no weak women in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, and she wants to see the style of the generals, so she invites you to come over."

The invitation from the Imperial Concubine could not be refused. The Second Lady felt uneasy and guessed that it was the Hongmen Banquet, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the children with her.

Since Chu Heyi was not in Changqing Palace, Nuoqing had to go to the horse farm in person to "invite" Chu Heyi over.

When they arrived at the horse ranch, Song Ju told her, "Miss Chu rode into the woods on horseback and won't come out until dark. There may be wild animals in there. Do you want to go in and look for them?"

Chu Heyi was practicing horse riding and archery, so she dared to go in; Nuoqing was a senior palace maid, and her daily life was comparable to that of an ordinary family's daughter, so how could she dare to go?

"When she comes out, please tell her, Teacher Song, that the Imperial Concubine wants to see you." After saying this, Nuoqing left.

Song Ju let out a breath. The one who pretended to enter the woods was not Chu Heyi, but Baihua who pretended to be Chu Heyi. He didn't know whether Chu Heyi left the palace smoothly. He hoped that she could come back safely.

Song Ju looked towards the palace gate from time to time.

The second wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei brought her children to Concubine Zheng's bedroom and knelt down at the palace gate to pay her respects to the concubine.

The imperial concubine sat on a couch in the palace, eating fruits and looking at the people kneeling outside the palace from afar, with no intention of calling them to get up.

In late autumn and early winter, the wind is very cold and it scratches the skin on my face and causes pain.

What's more, most of the people around the Second Madam were girls and children. After kneeling for an incense stick, Chu Xin, who was only seven years old, felt a little shaky.

The Second Madam gritted her teeth, lowered her upper body to the ground, and spoke again: "Greetings to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine. May Your Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

No sound came from the hall.

A gust of wind blew violently, and the withered and yellow fallen leaves swirled in the wind, and finally landed in an unknown place. The weather changed, and snow flakes like broken rice fell.

The children's faces were flushed and pale.

For the sake of the children, the Second Madam risked her life and spoke again: "I wonder why the Imperial Concubine summoned us here? The children are young and weak. If the Imperial Concubine has nothing to do, we will withdraw first and not disturb the Imperial Concubine's rest."

Her husband and children were guarding the northern border, so naturally she had to protect the children at home. If one of them got sick or died, it would be a death sentence for her.

The Second Lady would not allow this to happen.

So after she finished speaking, she prepared to stand up and help Chu Xin, the youngest child beside her.

Just at this moment, Concubine Zheng walked out of the palace. She was wearing a purple cloak, looking extremely gorgeous. She looked down at the Zhenbei Marquis family.

"I called you here because I have something to tell you. Why does the Second Madam dislike me and want to leave after just a short while?"

There was a hint of coldness in Concubine Zheng's steady tone.

The Second Madam paused in her motion to stand up and slowly knelt down again: "What instructions does the Imperial Concubine have?"

She continued, "The north wind is blowing and it is snowing. The children are too young to bear it. The emperor summoned us to live in the palace so that my husband and his family can concentrate on fighting in the north. If the children get sick from the cold, I am afraid it will be a waste of the emperor's kindness."

Use the emperor to pressure her?

There was a hint of violence in the imperial concubine's eyes.

If the father and son of the Zhenbei Marquis could return victorious this time, she naturally could not call the people from the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion to her palace to argue and vent her anger.

However, this time, the father and son of Zhenbei Hou will die in the northern border.

And her son will return victorious.

In this way, she can certainly bully the people in Zhenbei Marquis Mansion without restraint, as long as she is happy.

In the future, when the father and son of Zhenbei Marquis are defeated, even if everyone knows that the people of Zhenbei Marquis Mansion are being abused in her palace, what does it matter? She has a son who has made great military achievements. Who dares to seek justice for the people of Zhenbei Marquis Mansion?

Even the emperor would make this matter smaller than it actually is.

"I am standing in the cold wind just like you, but I am not afraid of contracting typhoid fever. How come the people in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion are more delicate than me?"

The Second Madam pursed her lips, knowing that Concubine Zheng was deliberately making things difficult for her today. No matter what she said, she would always be found guilty.

He just said, "It's up to the Imperial Concubine to order."

"I have a robe that needs to be cleaned, but the people in the palace are too busy to handle it. I would like to ask the Second Madam to help wash it. I wonder if the Second Madam is willing to do so?"

The nanny beside the Second Madam immediately said, "Madam, just leave this rough work to me."

"Who are you? How can a servant like you touch my clothes?" The imperial concubine scolded, and then asked, "Second Madam, are you willing?"

"If your Majesty the Imperial Concubine doesn't mind, I'll give it a try."

The imperial concubine winked at Nuoqing, who then stepped forward and said, "Second Madam, please follow me to the backyard."

The second wife stood up, her knees a little numb, but she steadied herself: "Madam, I am willing to wash your clothes here, but can you ask the children to go back first?"

The imperial concubine's eyes darkened and she glanced over coldly: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Twelve-year-old Chu Hui spoke up: "My Lady Concubine, we will all follow your arrangements. Please don't scold my mother."

Chu Lu and Chu You also spoke up, saying they were willing to do things for the Imperial Concubine, and only asked her not to make things difficult for the Second Madam.

The Second Lady's eyes turned red, but she managed to hold it back.

"I heard that the men in the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion are very capable. Well, you, do a few somersaults for me to see. If I'm satisfied, you can go back." The imperial concubine said, pointing at Chu Lu, the only boy among the many girls.

"I promised the Imperial Concubine." Chu Lu said, looking at the Second Madam: "Don't worry, mother, the child is fine."

The Second Lady thought that it was just a somersault and it wouldn't be something that would embarrass Chu Lu, so she felt a little relieved and followed Nuo Qing to the backyard.

The water prepared for her to wash clothes was cold. The Second Lady gritted her teeth and washed them. She washed one piece after another, and they were all very clean. However, the Imperial Concubine said that she had to wash and there was no end in sight.

As for Chu Lu, he somersaulted one after another. The imperial concubine said it was very good and she wanted to watch more. So Chu Lu somersaulted continuously, his whole body was sweating, his legs were shaking, and finally he fell down. The imperial concubine was dissatisfied and said that he did it on purpose and told him to continue.

As for Chu Hui, Chu You, and Chu Xin, one peeled melon seeds for the imperial concubine, one wiped the floor for the imperial concubine, and one massaged the imperial concubine's legs, with no end in sight.

Chu Xin was responsible for peeling the melon seeds. She was young and her nails were soft, so her fingertips were covered in blood after peeling them.

The imperial concubine got angry when she saw the blood and refused to eat, "What a dirty thing!"

A small plate of peeled melon seeds was swept to the ground, and Chu Hui silently swept them all away.

The children shed tears silently, not daring to cry out loud.

The sky gradually darkened, the snowstorm grew stronger, and the cold wind bit her bones, but the imperial concubine started to complain: "Well, you Zhenbei Marquis Mansion relied on your illustrious military exploits and ganged up to bully me today!

"The one who did somersaults in front of me fell down on purpose to scare me; the one who pretended to peel melon seeds for me stained them with blood on purpose to scare me; the one who pretended to massage my legs made my legs blue; and you made my bedroom extremely dirty. I will go to the Emperor to seek justice!"

The imperial concubine was furious and stood up to find the emperor.

An arrow flew from the front, brushed past her ear, and with a clang, penetrated into the pillar behind her.

A sharp pain came over her, and the imperial concubine turned pale with fear. She looked up and saw Chu Heyi, dressed in red, standing at the palace gate with a bow and arrow in his hand.
