There was silence all around, and only two echoes remained for a moment.

The bird was startled, and Prince Rong was the first to react.

The veins on his forehead were throbbing, his eyeballs were so wide that they were about to protrude, and his elegant face in the past was now a little more ferocious, which made people shudder.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Your Majesty... I don't know what mistake my son has made to make His Majesty so angry."

Prince Rong didn't take what Qin Jingran said last night to heart at all, he was just a slave, how could Qin Sui get angry because of this?

His eyes fell on Qin Jingran who was covering his face in front of him, his brows were furrowed, thoughtful.

Did this bastard make another big mistake?

Qin Jingran who was on the side didn't have time to think so much, the burning pain on his face occupied all his thoughts, tears subconsciously flooded into his eyes, and he forced them back.

Can't cry, it's too embarrassing.

At this moment, he had long since lost the arrogance he used to have. He bit his lip and looked at Qin Sui uncontrollably, but he didn't dare to say a word.

"What? Jingran is unhappy?" Qin Sui smiled and let go of Yuning's hand, and patted Qin Jingran's shoulder lightly.

Qin Jingran trembled subconsciously.

The gloomyness in Prince Rong's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to make a rescue: "Thunder, rain and dew are all due to Jun's kindness. It was Jing Ran who offended His Majesty, and he should be punished."

"The emperor's uncle knows the general idea." Qin Sui nodded, turned to look at Yuning, as if asking him with his eyes: Are you satisfied?

Yuning was dumbfounded for a moment, and took Qin Sui's hand obediently.

He really didn't expect that Qin Sui would embarrass Qin Jingran in public, but he felt much happier in his heart.

But since he is already on Qin Sui's side, he is not afraid of tearing his face apart with Prince Rong and the others.

"Let's go." Qin Sui dragged him into the hall.

Prince Rong and his son followed up in embarrassment. Prince Rong raised his head and looked at Qin Sui's back with a gloomy look in his eyes.

In the hall, the palace people have almost prepared breakfast.

The group sat down, and after waiting for a while, Queen Mother Xuan came out from behind the screen. She was dressed in a solemn phoenix robe, her face was still charming, but the corners of her eyes and brows were a little more gorgeous.

Several people got up and saluted one after another, the Empress Dowager Xuan's eyes swept across Qin Sui Yuning's body one by one, and a sneer appeared on her face.

"Get up."

The Empress Dowager Xuan nodded lightly, seeing Yu Ning sitting on the side, her eyes were cold: "The Ai family didn't know that the wind blowing by the queen's pillow is so good, but she is just a slave, and the emperor personally stood up for you and slapped the prince in public. What a majesty!"

Before Yu Ning could respond, she turned her head to look at Qin Sui: "And the emperor, it's only been a long time since he married the queen, and he knows how to protect her. Do you still take Aijia seriously?"

After she finished speaking, the hall was suddenly quiet, the palace people did not dare to show their anger, but Qin Sui suddenly laughed out loud.

"My son's prestige is less than one-tenth of that of my mother's."

Qin Sui poured a glass of wine on his own, and paid respects to Queen Mother Xuan: "Furthermore, I am able to become what I am today, thanks to my mother's teaching."

After he finished speaking, Yu Ning was also shocked.

At first he only thought that the relationship between Qin Sui and the queen mother was not very good, but after all, they are mother and son, and the blood relationship will not be broken.

But looking at it now, it is clear that the trouble has reached the point where it cannot be dealt with, and Qin Sui has not even considered the Queen Mother Xuan as his own mother.

"Without Aijia, can the emperor still ascend to the throne?" The Empress Dowager Xuan sneered, her eyes suddenly turned to Yu Ning who was aside: "The empress is the head of the central palace, it is your duty to admonish the emperor. If you don’t do it well, you’ve learned the trick of being a vicious culprit.”

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager," Yu Ning turned to Qin Sui, and became a little softer: "Qin Shizi beat the servants in the palace without any explanation, embarrassing the concubine, as the lord of the palace, the concubine should not Not to maintain the majesty of the queen. What's more, I also want to ask the prince, why do you wantonly beat the servants in the palace without saying anything?"

Qin Jingran was suddenly called by his name, he was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a pale face: "He doesn't know the rules! The eunuchs in the palace know that my brother is a cultivator who only drinks tea, why did he serve him wine?"

Yu Ning was waiting for his words, and immediately said: "Then the prince should come and beat me. This New Year's Eve palace banquet was arranged by me, and I ignored that it is my responsibility that Mr. Jing Huan can't drink. Why didn't the prince come to ask me, so he scolded the eunuch without explanation? Or are you just trying to slap me in the face?"

After his words, Qin Jingran completely died down.

He didn't expect that the queen, who looked weak and deceitful, would have such a sharp-tongued side, blushing and speechless.

Qin Sui supported him with his hands, looked at Yu Ning with great interest, and didn't even open his mouth to defend him, as if he wanted to watch a show.

"The queen is very good at talking, and after a few words, she will completely push away her mistakes."

The Empress Dowager Xuan sneered and said: "Don't say that you just beat a slave, what's the point of killing him? A slave, wearing brocade clothes and being held high by everyone, is still a slave. Now this palace is also returning the favor." It's up to you to decide."

At the end of the Queen Mother Xuan's speech, the threat in her words was already very obvious.

"You can't say that." Qin Sui came out to add fuel to the fire: "Before the mother became the queen mother, how much more honored was she than others?"

His eyes were sarcasm: "I have lived a comfortable life for too long, and the queen mother should be blown by the northwest wind."

As soon as Qin Sui finished speaking, empress dowager Xuan's eyes flashed with apprehension.

The clean tabletop was scratched by sharp nails, and the corner of the Empress Dowager Xuan's lips curled up in a sneer: "Very well, the emperor has really grown up. He has learned to threaten his mother."

Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall became more and more tense, Prince Rong finally stood up and said, "What is wrong with Jing Ran? This matter is due to my inability to teach my son well. This king apologizes to the Queen and Your Majesty."

"Uncle Huang is right." Qin Sui looked over with a smile on his face: "If you don't fight, you won't be successful. Jingran should take good care of this child. Today, I disciplined him for Uncle Huang. In the future, Uncle Huang will have to pay more attention to himself." .”

Prince Rong gritted his teeth secretly: "Yes..."

A turmoil stopped temporarily, and no one could eat breakfast anymore.

Empress Dowager Xuan got up and walked away, Prince Rong also took Qin Jingran to leave, only Qin Sui sat there with Yu Ning and ate a table of carefully prepared breakfast, deliberately embarrassing Empress Dowager Xuan.

On the way back to the palace, Yu Ning thanked Qin Sui: "Thank you Your Majesty for standing up for my concubine, I am really grateful..."

His anger disappeared as early as in the corridor, and his anger was more in response to Qin Sui's words after that.

"Why is the empress so polite at this time? Didn't she feel wronged for me before?" Qin Sui's expression was the same as usual, and he even had the leisure to tease Yu Ning.

Knowing that Qin Sui had already seen that what he said last night were just excuses, Yu Ning's ears couldn't help but turn red, and he couldn't say anything immediately.

The two parted ways at the intersection, Qin Sui went to Qinzheng Hall to read the papers, and Yu Ning returned to Ganquan Palace.

From a distance, Xiao Linzi led people to greet him outside Ganquan Palace, his face was bruised and his eyes were still red.

The subordinates also spread the news very quickly. What happened in Changle Palace today has already been spread in the Sixth Palace.

Although not many people knew what happened in the palace afterwards, many palace people saw Qin Sui's two slaps in the corridor.

Kobayashi was naturally moved.

"Your Highness," Xiao Linzi knelt down and kowtowed when he saw Yu Ning: "How can you be a slave..."

"Get up quickly." Yu Ning had something in his heart, he only asked people to get up and went in.

There was nothing to do back in the palace, Yu Ning found a book to pass the time.

It was just a book that turned a few pages back and forth, but Yu Ning never read it.

He wanted to sleep, but he couldn't fall asleep under the covers, so he had to call Xiao Linzi again.

Xiao Linzi's face was full of concern: "Your Highness, what's the matter?"

After this encounter, he completely regarded Yu Ning as his master, and became more attentive to his work.

"Let me ask you." Yu Ning got up: "When did you enter the palace? What was the relationship between the Queen Mother and Your Majesty when you entered the palace?"

The mother and son obviously have a deep grudge, but Yu Ning doesn't understand what caused the mother and son's current attitude towards getting along.

"Returning to Your Highness, this slave is the palace that Yongtai entered in the third year." Xiao Linzi said: "When he entered the palace, His Majesty had already been on the throne for three years. This slave remembers that His Majesty did not often go to Changle Palace to pay his respects at that time. Go when you are called, and you will be back soon."

Yuning looked thoughtful: "That's it...you go down first."

It seemed that the mother and son had been at odds for a long time. If he wanted to know the ins and outs of the matter, he was afraid that no one would be able to tell him except Qin Sui and some old people in the palace.

After struggling like this for two days, Yu Ning himself gave up.

Forget it, he just needs to stay safely by Qin Sui's side, and he will die sooner if he asks.

The next half a month or so was peaceful, the Empress Dowager Xuan didn't know if she was afraid of Qin Sui's words, but she didn't come to cause any trouble.

However, Qin Sui seemed to be in trouble again these days, he was too busy to touch the ground, and hadn't been to Ganquan Palace for half a month.

Yuning had delivered supper twice before, but since then she became lazy, so she never went there again.

Time passed by in the blink of an eye, and seeing the beginning of spring, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to measure new clothes and wanted to make some new spring clothes for Yu Ning.

After measuring her waistline, Yu Ning realized that she had gained a lot of weight this winter!

Not only the waist is thicker, but the face is also round.

It's just that the winter clothes were bloated before, and he was too thin, so I didn't notice it too much.

Yuning was deeply affected by this, although he ate three meals as usual, but after dinner there was an extra activity of walking.

Xiao Linzi also smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, it will be spring hunting in a few days, and you will lose weight when you run around."

Yuning: "But I don't know how to ride a horse."

"It's not difficult." Xiao Linzi pursed his lips and smiled, "Your Majesty taught you."

"...Your Majesty is busy with everything, how could he have the time to teach me?"

Yuning sighed: "I just hope that he won't come before Spring Hunting."

Xiao Linzi was puzzled: "Why?"

Yuning shook his head and didn't say a word, just patted his soft belly silently.

In the past, there was no meat here.

If Qin Sui found out, he would definitely laugh at him again!
