Get pregnant soon, and beauties will have many happy pregnancies

The Queen Mother thought that Rui'er had really listened to her. This grandson had always pleased her since he was young. Even if he made mistakes occasionally, the Queen Mother felt that he was still young and just needed two more years of experience.

Now that her grandson had admitted his mistakes and corrected them, she was naturally happy. She talked to Ruier for a long time and gave him many rewards.

Prince Rui kept trying to talk to Ji Yunhuan, but Ji Yunhuan just pulled the Queen aside to chat and ignored him at all.

He was keenly aware that Ji Yunhuan's gaze always drifted towards Yuwen Yi intentionally or unintentionally, and even though he was right in front of him, Ji Yunhuan didn't even look at him.

Prince Rui suddenly discovered that Yuwen Yi was exceptionally smart today. Even though Concubine Jiang was humiliated like this, Yuwen Yi said nothing. He would not be wrong if he did not speak, and he would not disgust the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

He refused to let Yuwen Yi succeed.

Prince Rui accepted the reward from the Queen Mother. He had received too many of these things and had long been accustomed to them. Now he only wanted military power, but the Queen Mother refused to give it to him!

Prince Rui suppressed his dissatisfaction and said with a smile: "I see that Eighth Brother doesn't seem very happy. The banquet has been going on for such a long time, but Eighth Brother hasn't said a word, as if he doesn't want to see us."

"I haven't been back to the capital very often in recent years. This is my first time attending the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. I've already sent my birthday gift. I wonder what good things you've prepared? Don't hide it. Show it to me."

The Queen Mother has not received the gift from the Eighth Prince yet, so she doesn't take it too seriously.

She didn't like this grandson in the first place, because he was of low birth and his biological mother was not very glorious. She was also unwilling to give the royal heir to the empress to raise, so she felt even more disgusted with Jiang Pin and her son.

The second reason was that the Eighth Prince had a bad temper since he was a child. He always had a stern face and often quarreled with others. All the princes in the palace had been beaten by him. Every time he came to see him, he was dirty, which really made her dislike him.

She had worked hard in the harem of the previous dynasty for her entire life. Finally, the emperor took power. The empress dowager wanted to indulge her grandchildren and pick out the younger ones she liked to dote on. It didn't make sense for her to accommodate an unpopular grandson.

As time went by, she lost even more feelings for the Eighth Prince.

So she knew that the emperor sent the eighth prince to the battlefield to boost morale, but she did not object.

Later, the Eighth Prince made many military achievements, but his temper was still unpleasant. He always caused trouble when he returned to the capital, and she didn't like to see the Eighth Prince.

However, in this battle in the northern border, the Eighth Prince did expand the territory for the Chen Kingdom and indeed made extraordinary contributions, worthy of being recorded in history. She had given him all the rewards he deserved and even asked the emperor to give the Eighth Prince a title. She had already done her utmost.

The Eighth Prince will be a very good general, a commander-in-chief who can lead the army in the northern border and has good character. Besides, there is Concubine Jiang in the palace, so the Eighth Prince will not dare to mess around in the northern border, so he can be used with peace of mind.

The Queen Mother was only concerned about the country and the people, and she really didn't have much affection for the Eighth Prince as a grandparent.

Yuwen Yi came over, knelt down and kowtowed to the Queen Mother, but he could not utter any auspicious words.

The Queen Mother patted Yuwen Yi's shoulder kindly and asked him to stand up. "You are fighting outside and can't take care of such a small matter. I don't blame you."

"You are of royal blood. I have high hopes for you. Whether in the capital or on the frontier, you should do your best to share the emperor's worries. For the sake of Chen country, you are brave and good at fighting. I am very pleased with this great victory. In the future, you should be more diligent and motivated, and don't be arrogant."

"I know you don't like occasions like this, but you can't stay in Prince Yi's mansion forever. Okay, go back and sit down, or you'll feel uncomfortable."

Prince Rui said dissatisfiedly, "Grandma, you are biased! He is fighting outside, and I am fighting outside too! I started preparing last year. This year, I visited the southwest and sent reinforcements to the north, but I didn't forget grandma's birthday. I think my eighth brother doesn't care about grandma!"

"He has been like this since he was young, cold-hearted and often quarreling with his brothers. As his elder brother, I taught him a few words, but he dared to hit me. He was also so arrogant and domineering when he was in the North, and he did not allow his grandson to lead the army. He has no blood relationship in his heart. He doesn't even take his father seriously, let alone me, his elder brother."

Yuwen Yi suffered a lot when he was a child, and everything he did was wrong. He just wanted to save his wet nurse, but ended up bullying his brother.

Those people beat and scolded him, and if he occasionally fought back, the news would be reported to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and he would be scolded again.

Even for something as trivial as paying respects to the Empress Dowager, someone would suddenly rush out and dirty his clothes, and the eunuchs around him would lie with their eyes open, saying that he got his clothes dirty because he was running around.

The teacher in the study also said that he was undisciplined by nature, had a bad character, and would never learn well.

Countless insignificant little things formed a dense web, and he was stuck in the web, with nowhere to escape.

Even if he later broke away from this web and made great achievements in the military camp, once he returned to the capital, no one still believed him. After all, they were blood relatives, but he knew that the emperor and the empress dowager did not have much affection for him.

The matter was done, and there was no way he could explain the trivial matter of many years ago to the Empress Dowager. He knew that he had no Imperial Grandmother, only the honorable Empress Dowager.

Fortunately, he still has Huan'er, who has planned everything for him, and he will definitely not go wrong if he follows her instructions.

Yuwen Yi knelt on the ground and didn't get up. He was too tall and had a strong body. It would be too oppressive for him to stand up. He didn't look like a grandson at all.

So he knelt there without moving, and the young eunuch next to him quickly handed him a scroll. Yuwen Yi personally held it in front of the empress dowager and slowly unfolded it.

"This is Master Luo Zisong's last work. I found it by chance when I was fighting in the Western Territory many years ago, and I have always wanted to give it to my grandmother."

The Queen Mother stroked the texture on the scroll, looked at the style of the signature, and the seal hidden in the scroll, and she was absolutely sure that this was the authentic work of Master Zisong.

"Master Zisong's painting style is strange and bizarre, and people have mixed opinions about him. Some say he just paints randomly, and the flowers, birds and fish are not flowers, and the contemporary scholars all look down on him, but I just like his unrestrained and eccentric style."

"Fish are flying in the sky, birds are swimming in the water, flowers are blooming in the clouds, and the sun is rising brightly from the dead wood... What a beautiful conception. Those vulgar people simply don't understand it, and few people collect Master Zisong's paintings. You have a good eye."

Yuwen Yi didn't know much about painting, but Huan'er said that Luo Zisong's paintings were very good, and he also found them very interesting.

"When I was young, I had the honor of seeing the Flying Fish painting in my grandmother's Kunning Palace, and I kept it in my mind. Later, I came across this painting, Dead Trees Revived in Spring. I was delighted to see it, and thought that my grandmother would like it, so I took great pains to collect it."

Prince Rui looked at the messy painting and frowned, "Why haven't I seen it in my grandmother's room? Are you making it up? You haven't been to Kunning Palace for many years, but I often go there to pay my respects to my grandmother."

"I don't think you really want to honor your grandmother. You said you got it in the West Territory, so why didn't you give it to your grandmother earlier?"
