The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

"Empress, you, you don't like Mian'er anymore?"

Chu Mian looked like he was deeply shocked. When he raised his eyes, they were already filled with tears.

Shen Qingyan didn't expect her reaction to be so big, and hurried to explain.

"No, I just think that you must miss your parents after being away from home for so long. It won't be too late to enter the palace when you have time in the future."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Mian's big eyes could no longer hold back tears, which fell down. She pulled her sleeve and said weakly, "Empress, Mian'er doesn't want to leave... Please don't chase Mian'er away, okay?"

Shen Qingyan was a little surprised. She had only been with Chu Mian for a few days, could he have such deep feelings for her?

However, this is a good opportunity to teach Mrs. Chu a lesson.

*

When Mrs. Chu entered the palace, she was not very willing.

If the emperor had not issued an edict, she would have wanted Chu Mian to stay in the palace for a few more days.

It must be that Mian'er was ignorant and clamored to go home, which made the Queen angry, so she ordered the Emperor to come to the palace to take her away.

Mrs. Chu became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Chu Mian hiding behind Shen Qingyan.

After bowing with anger, Mrs. Chu smiled at Chu Mian.

"Mian'er, be good and come to mother."

The smile that did not reach her eyes contained a hint of coldness. Chu Mian knew at a glance that this smile from Mrs. Chu meant that she would be punished by her when she returned.

So Chu Mian made a prompt decision and hid behind Shen Qingyan again.

Mrs. Chu's smile froze on her face, and her voice became a little stern.

"Mian'er, don't act like a spoiled brat in front of the Queen. Come here quickly. I'll take you back to the palace."

After saying this, she did not forget to say to Shen Qingyan very apologetically: "I guess Mian'er has caused a lot of trouble to the Queen and the Crown Prince. I apologize to the Queen on Mian'er's behalf."

Shen Qingyan watched her perform calmly, her tone indifferent, and no emotion could be heard.

"Mian'er is well-behaved and sensible. This palace likes her very much."

Mrs. Chu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. That’s good.

She wanted to ask Mian'er to stay for a few more days, but the emperor had already given the order, so she didn't dare to say it.

But Chu Mian never cooperated with her and came over, and her patience was almost exhausted.

"Mian'er, what's wrong with you? Come to your mother quickly. It's time to go home. Your father and brother miss you."

Chu Mian finally mustered up the courage and shouted, "I don't want to go back!"

In an instant, Mrs. Chu's smile froze on her face.

"Mian'er, you're not listening again, are you?"

The sudden cold tone made Chu Mian's heart tremble.

Shen Qingyan patted her little shoulder gently, which gave her great encouragement.

The Queen Mother said that no matter what she wants to say, she must speak out boldly, even if the other party is her father or mother, she must not be timid, otherwise she will be easily bullied when she grows up.

So, she wants to say it!

So she shouted to Madam Chu: "Mother, Mian'er doesn't want to go back. Mian'er doesn't want to be beaten, doesn't want to go hungry, and doesn't want to learn etiquette!"

Mrs. Chu was horrified. She never expected that Chu Mian would say these words in front of Shen Qingyan.

She glanced at Shen Qingyan and quickly tried to make excuses for herself.

"What are you talking about, Mian'er? You are still so young, how could your mother let you learn those things? Be good, come here quickly."

However, Chu Mian did not move. Instead, Qingmei stepped forward and lifted up Chu Mian's sleeves.

"Mrs. Chu, why don't you explain this?"

Mrs. Chu's expression changed, but soon turned into anger.

"What's going on? Who made Mian'er like this? Queen, you must take care of Mian'er!"

It's really clumsy for the thief to cry "stop thief".

Shen Qingyan smiled sarcastically, and with a gesture, the female doctor came out.

She first bowed respectfully, and then spoke loudly.

"The wounds on Miss Chu's arms were all caused by pinching. Judging from the marks, they were pinched by an adult's fingers. Now that they have faded a lot, we can still judge that these wounds were caused five or six days ago."

It happened to be when Chu Mian was still at home.

Madam Chu's expression changed several times, but she finally calmed down. She said with heartache and anger, "It must be those maids in the mansion who deliberately treated Mian'er harshly! Madam, Mian'er is my biological daughter. I can't treat her like this. There must be some misunderstanding!"

Shen Qingyan's smile became more and more sarcastic, "Madam Chu, why are you so anxious? I didn't say it was you who pinched me."

Mrs. Chu's face froze again, and she tried to make amends again.

"Empress, Mian'er is just an ignorant child. She is just talking nonsense!"

However, Shen Qingyan did not answer her, but instead raised her voice to the door: "Your Majesty, Lord Chu, you can come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Beihuai and Chu Zhenglian walked in from outside the door.

At this moment, Mrs. Chu could no longer hold back her anger. Her face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye. She even forgot to greet him. All she had eyes for was Chu Zhenglian.

"Master, why are you here?"

Chu Zhenglian's heart was filled with rage. If he hadn't taken into consideration that the emperor and the queen were still there, he would have slapped them long ago.

"Evil woman! What did you do to Mian'er?!"

Madam Chu quickly defended herself, "Master, you misunderstood. I, I didn't do anything. It was Mian'er who was talking nonsense!"

However, the moment Chu Mian saw Chu Zhenglian, he trotted forward and threw himself into his arms.

"Daddy!"

"Hey, Mian'er!" Chu Zhenglian immediately picked up Chu Mian, and his eyes, which were full of anger just now, were now full of love.

Then Chu Zhenglian asked gently, "Mian'er, tell Daddy, did your mother beat you?"

Chu Mian lowered his eyes and nodded his little head.

Before Chu Zhenglian was about to get angry, Chu Mian whispered, "Mother only beat me a few days before I entered the palace..."

Chu Zhenglian understood that Madam Chu wanted Shen Qingyan to like her when she entered the palace.

But this is not the reason why she treats Mian'er like this!

Chu Zhenglian suddenly looked at Mrs. Chu, who shrank her neck in fear but was unable to defend herself.

"You vicious woman, just wait and see how I'll deal with you when I get back!"

Gu Beihuai said coldly: "If nothing happens, let Zhaohua Palace be peaceful again."

Ministers are not allowed to enter the harem. If it wasn't for cooperating with Shen Qingyan, he would not have let Chu Zhenglian come to Zhaohua Palace.

Chu Zhenglian also knew his limits, so he quickly took his wife and daughter and left.

As soon as the person left, Gu Beihuai inexplicably felt relieved.

Now no one will disturb him and Yan'er's time alone, right?

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a palace maid came hurriedly to report.

"Your Majesty, Empress, something happened in Yaochun Palace. The two concubines started arguing!"

what?

Gu Beihuai and Shen Qingyan were both shocked. They had only been in the palace for a few days and they were already fighting?

As the mistress of the harem, Shen Qingyan naturally had to go and see what was going on, so Gu Beihuai had to go with her.

He gritted his teeth and thought, having too many women in the harem is not good!
