The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

When Mrs. Chu heard this, she became anxious and hurried to stop Chu Zhenglian.

"Master, what are you doing? You want to bring Mian'er back after only one day in the palace. What do you think the Queen will think?"

"Besides, you know how much the Emperor dotes on the Empress. Even if you really want to take her back, what if the Empress and the Crown Prince just like Mian'er? Aren't you slapping the Emperor and the Empress in the face by doing this?"

When Chu Zhenglian heard this, he became a little hesitant.

Madam Chu pulled him to sit down and continued to dissuade him, "Master, you are just too cautious. I didn't say much. I just said that marriage is unpredictable. Even if someone said it, there is no evidence..."

With her advice, Chu Zhenglian gave up the idea of ​​entering the palace, but still warned Mrs. Chu.

"Hurry up and explain to those women that you should stay away from home for the next few days and don't cause any more trouble."

"I understand, sir. Calm down. Come and have a sip of tea. This is the best Biluochun tea sent by Madam Zhang..."

During lunch, Shen Qingyan saw how big Chu Mian's appetite was.

Three steamed buns, four glutinous rice and meat dumplings, five crystal shrimp dumplings, and a bowl of sweet porridge... If Shen Qingyan hadn't stopped him, Chu Mian would have started to eat the roast duck leg.

Who would have thought that a child whose teeth had just grown in could not wait to show off the power of his teeth.

Chu Mian was stopped and was a little puzzled. He watched the delicious roast duck leg being taken away.

"The Queen..."

Although Chu Mian didn't say the rest, Shen Qingyan understood it from her pitiful eyes.

Didn't you say that you would let me eat normally? Why are you stopping me...

Shen Qingyan touched her little head and said earnestly: "Mian'er, it's not that I don't allow you to eat, but if you eat more, your stomach will swell and ache, and then you will have to take very bitter medicine, which will be more uncomfortable than being beaten. Are you willing to try?"

When Chu Mian heard this, he hurriedly shook his head.

I remember that time when she caught a cold because of playing too much, her mother gave her a bowl of particularly unpalatable medicine and refused to let her eat the sweet candied fruit. After that, she never dared to get sick again.

"No, Mian'er doesn't want to eat it."

Chu Mian quickly put down his chopsticks and stood up obediently.

Shen Qingyan felt even more distressed. How could there be such a sensible and well-behaved child? How did Madam Chu treat her?

"Be good, as long as you listen to me, I will never treat you unfairly."

Chu Mian looked up at Shen Qingyan, his eyes sparkling.

The Queen is so gentle, even gentler than her mother. It would be great if the Queen were her mother.

"Uh-huh!"

Chu Mian nodded like pecking at rice, well-behaved and cute.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

After spending a few days together, Chu Mian has completely trusted Shen Qingyan, and would even secretly ask her for a hug when no one is around.

Shen Qingyan was also happy to see this happen, but still did not allow her to contact Yuxuan.

Every time Gu Beihuai came to Zhaohua Palace, he could see Chu Mian and Shen Qingyan together, and every time he wanted to be alone with Shen Qingyan, he failed.

Naturally, he was dissatisfied with this.

As night fell, after the two of them had been intimate, Gu Beihuai finally found an opportunity to talk about Chu Mian.

"She has been in the palace for a while. It is not appropriate for her to stay in the palace forever. I will let Chu Zhenglian take the child back tomorrow."

It would be fine if it was just the son of his rival, but there was also a little girl who was pestering Yan'er. Why was everyone coveting his Yan'er?

Shen Qingyan didn't notice the jealousy in his words, but instead told him about all the discoveries she had made about Chu Mian in recent days.

"Your Majesty, I feel that if Mian'er really returns to the Chu family, I don't know how Madam Chu will use her to torture her."

Gu Beihuai put his arms around her waist from behind and rested his chin on the crook of her neck.

"Yan'er, no matter what, Chu Mian is the child of the Chu family. How they raise their children has nothing to do with us."

Shen Qingyan naturally understood this truth, but she inexplicably didn't want Chu Mian to go back and suffer.

What's more, Madam Chu used Mian'er to use her, so she couldn't just let it go like this.

"Your Majesty, I will ask Mian'er about her wishes tomorrow. If she is willing to go back, I will have someone send her back."

Hearing this, Gu Beihuai felt relieved. After all, what child wouldn't miss home?

"Okay, Yan'er is really good."

After saying that, he lightly bit Shen Qingyan's shoulder.

Shen Qingyan felt pain and subconsciously shrank her body, but unexpectedly this was exactly what Gu Beihuai wanted.

It's another beautiful spring night.

……

Shen Qingyan swore that she would sleep in a separate bed from Gu Beihuai from now on.

Fortunately, during these few days, she asked Qingmei to secretly prepare a bowl of soup for her.

She would take it secretly every time after having sex, and Gu Beihuai was not aware of it.

Shen Qingyan knew what she wanted. She loved Gu Beihuai, but she also wanted to stay sober. Most importantly, she had to stay alive so that she could love him well.

Qiu Ying's death left a huge shadow on her, and she didn't want to repeat the same mistake.

This was a decision she made after much consideration.

Today is special, Shen Qingyan has to get up early.

Today is the day when those eighteen disabled women enter the palace to become concubines.

As the master of the six palaces, Shen Qingyan had to accept their audience.

Gu Beihuai knew that she didn't like trouble, so he kept everything simple for these 18 women entering the palace, and skipped all the procedures that could be avoided.

After washing and dressing herself up, and putting on the bright red palace dress that symbolized her status as queen, Shen Qingyan waited calmly in Zhaohua Palace for the arrival of the eighteen concubines.

These eighteen women were given titles according to the official positions and ranks of their elders in their families, including three concubines, four imperial concubines, five noble ladies, and six beauties.

Even though Shen Qingyan had prepared herself mentally, she was still shocked when she saw those disabled women.

But more of emotion and heartache.

Several of them covered their faces with veils, obviously because of facial disabilities and were unable to see people. Others hid their hands in their sleeves, some had bare arms, and some walked in very awkward postures. Some even came in on wooden wheelchairs.

Shen Qingyan didn't know that there were so many disabled women in Tianfeng Country. They usually stayed at home and were unknown to outsiders. If they couldn't enter the palace, they would have lived in darkness all their lives, right?

Everyone greeted Shen Qingyan one by one. Some had expressionless faces, while others looked happy, with different moods.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs had already arranged the palace, and after the visit, everyone went to their own palace.

After finishing all this, it's time for lunch.

Chu Mian had already washed his hands and was waiting for dinner. His eyes sparkled when he saw Shen Qingyan.

"Empress, it's time to eat!"

As he spoke, he handed her the chopsticks.

Shen Qingyan did not take it, but Qingmei took it instead and checked it quietly.

Chu Mian didn’t know about the twists and turns. She had only one thought in her mind - to eat.

This is the thing she looks forward to most every day.

Looking at Chu Mian's increasingly round face, Shen Qingyan couldn't help but pinch it.

"Look at what you eat. If you keep eating, you'll turn into a pig. What if your parents don't recognize you when you go back?"

When Chu Mian heard this, his face fell at a speed visible to the naked eye.
