The Adventures of the Crying Princess

The King of Qi returned to the palace and went straight to the study. When he opened the door, he found Sisi, dressed in purple, sitting in front of his desk. "But has there been any progress? Didn't I tell you not to come to me if there's nothing wrong?"

Seeing Sisi didn't say anything, Yuwen Xi walked up and pushed her, and the woman fell stiffly. Although the King of Qi was cruel, he had never seen such a scene, and he collapsed to the ground.

Zhuifeng pushed the door open and came in, "Your Highness..." Seeing this scene, Zhuifeng covered his mouth. After a long while, he asked, "Your Highness?"

Just as he was about to curse, the King of Qi realized something and looked at Zhuifeng, "You, aren't you going home to celebrate your daughter's birthday?"

Zhuifeng instantly knelt down and kowtowed, "I was kidnapped as soon as I left the mansion yesterday. If I hadn't run fast, I would have died. It's a pity that the birthday gift I gave to my daughter was taken away by the criminals."

The King of Qi came back to his senses and coughed, "Okay, get up! It's just a gift, but it's worth your concern. I'll send someone to find a better one later.

The Third Brother is really something. I stole his reward before, and now he is asking for it back from you. He is becoming more and more petty. "

"My Lord is right. It must be that Prince Yi. He has always been like this." Zhuifeng agreed repeatedly, stood up, poured a cup of tea for Prince Qi and handed it to him.

The King of Qi drank the wine without thinking too much, and glanced at Sisi, who was already cold, and said, "Get rid of him. The Queen Mother just returned to the capital, so this matter should not be spread outside."

"I understand." Just as Zhuifeng was about to leave, the King of Qi called him back again, "Has your brother sent back any news recently?"

Yuejiu disappeared, and Chunyue Tower was sealed off. At present, King Qi had no one available, so he thought of Zhuifeng's brother.

"I'll contact Zhuiyun right away." Zhuifeng deliberately acted ecstatic and ran out after saying that.

That night the King of Qi developed a high fever. The imperial doctors took turns to treat him all night long, but they could not find out the cause.

next day

Emperor Chengde called Bai Yimeng and asked, "Have you heard about the incident at Prince Qi's mansion?"

"I won't go!" Bai Yimeng sat down on the ground without thinking, "He hurt me before, so I won't treat him. Buddha also said that he would save those who are destined to be saved. I won't save him because I have no destiny with him."

Emperor Mingde gritted his teeth and said, "You little monkey, are you pretending to be stupid? What did I say to you last time? Repeat it to me."

“Your Majesty said that the King of Qi just provoked me and you beat him up… I understand, you suspect that I drugged the King of Qi?

It's impossible. It's not worth it for me to be beaten by my master just for a stinky toad. It's really not worth it."

Emperor Chengde breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt that there was something wrong with Bai Yimeng's words. After a while, he reacted and scolded, "Who are you calling a toad? Little monkey, you are getting bolder and bolder now."

Emperor Chengde patted Bai Yimeng on the head and said, "Prince Qi's Mansion, if you don't want to go, then don't go. The imperial physician has examined her all night and couldn't find anything. It's probably because she ate too much at the palace banquet. You should talk to me about the Queen Mother's health."

Apart from some old age diseases, the Queen Mother was in very good health. Bai Yimeng still used the same steps as before to treat the Queen, in order to prevent anyone from tampering with her.

"You're on guard against me too? She's my biological mother, how can I harm her? Tell me now, don't be stingy."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. During the period of treatment, I am responsible for the Empress Dowager's diet and medicine. The responsibility is heavy, and I dare not be careless." Bai Yimeng was not on guard against Emperor Chengde, but just wanted to be more cautious.

After listening to Bai Yimeng's explanation, Emperor Chengde nodded slightly, "Okay, I won't ask any more. You are just stingy, girl.

By the way, regarding the flood in the Huai River, I am not satisfied with the plan given by the Ministry of Revenue for disaster relief. Please write a copy for me now."

"I won't write this. Women in the family are not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Your Majesty is trying to harm me." Bai Yimeng gave Emperor Mingde a look that said 'I'm not stupid, don't lie to me'.

"Two shops, that's enough. If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who would know it was you who wrote it? In the end, you get two shops and I get a disaster relief plan, the best of both worlds.

Besides, I have to revise what a kid like you wrote, so it won’t become yours.”

Emperor Chengde patted Bai Yimeng on the head and said, "Will you write it or not? That's two shops. Normally, you would have to be beaten twice to get it."

"Three. If your Majesty agrees, I will write it."

"Bargaining is not cute at all. Go, take a pen and paper and write over there. Don't fight with me for the table."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bai Yimeng snatched the paper and pen from Emperor Mingde and ran to the corner behind the bookshelf.

After a while, Emperor Chengde remembered the Qianjiang flood and invited the officials from the Ministry of Revenue again.

As soon as the official from the Ministry of Revenue left, Yuwen Ji came again and talked about the Ministry of Justice investigating the adults.

Finally, Yuwen Ji asked with a smile, "Father, the child has been staying with the Royal Grandmother for such a long time, when will he come back?"

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Chengde was reminded, and he shouted towards the bookshelf: "You naughty monkey, come out! I asked you to write something, why is it so strenuous!"

Bai Yimeng yawned, then ran out holding a book, a pen and paper, "Your Majesty, please lend me this book."

Emperor Chengde snatched the paper and pen, took a look at it and said, "It's written carelessly, so-so.

It is impossible to borrow the book. At most, I will let you read it for a while tomorrow. Now, you should go to Cisheng Temple."

Yuwen Ji grabbed Bai Yimeng and said, "Father, your son also wants to stay in the palace."

"How old are you? You are not allowed to leave the palace! Hurry up and leave. The palace gate will be locked later. See how you will get out." Seeing that his son was not buying it, he said, "Tomorrow, let the little monkey go back for half a day tomorrow, okay?"

Only then did Yuwen Ji give up, and after instructing Bai Yimeng on some trivial matters, he left the palace.

Arriving at Cisheng Palace, the Empress Dowager lazily lay on the couch and said, "You went out again. I have also heard about your glorious deeds of learning the rules in the palace.

Don't think that I am the queen, I am soft-hearted and can tolerate you. I said I asked you to come and treat the disease, but in fact I want to set rules for you.

You are a child of the Bai family, and I have never liked you. But His Majesty said that you saved him and the third child, and you also treated the Queen, so I reluctantly accepted it. However, this rule must be established.

"Xiao Cui, take her down, let her kneel in the yard with a bowl on her head and think about what she did wrong. For every drop of water she spills, she kneels for one more hour."

"Princess Sui'an, please come in." Nanny Cui reached out to pull Bai Yimeng.

Just as the man was about to leave, the Queen Mother stopped him and said, "Wait, Xiao Cui, get her a cushion. She hurt her knees, and I have to explain to the Third Brother."

The fur pad was so thick that it almost reached Bai Yimeng's knees. An hour later, the secret guards beside the Queen Mother appeared and helped her up. They took her into the Queen Mother's bedroom and said, "Queen Mother, the stalkers have left. I have brought the little princess in."

"Well, turn on the lights." The Queen Mother lifted the curtain, and Nanny Cui took small steps forward and lit the candles.

"Are you feeling wronged?" The Queen Mother smiled faintly and stared at Bai Yimeng. "This is the royal family. Even if you are the Queen Mother, there will be people watching you. However, you are quite good at knowing to enter the palace and bring medicinal herbs as a cover."

Matron Cui swept away her previous dignity and came forward with a plate of snacks, "Little Princess, please eat something quickly. The Queen Mother knows that you like this, so she specially ordered the kitchen to prepare it."

"Listen while you eat. The harem should be in power. You can't be too soft or too hard. You have to learn the golden mean, learn to control them, and let them fight with each other."

"Who are you competing with?" Bai Yimeng was confused. Even if she married Yuwen Ji, she would only be a princess. Why would she learn this?

Could it be that the old queen knew about Yuwen Ji's plan? This was too careless.

"Little monkey, stop pretending. Don't you know what I'm talking about? You have many more tricks than others, and you still want to deceive me.

The Queen has a soft personality, so logically, she is not suitable to be the Empress. But since His Majesty likes her, I have no choice, so luckily, these years have been relatively peaceful.

You can't do this, you need to have some means and understand political tactics, understand?"

Seeing the Queen Mother's eyes widen, Bai Yimeng nodded repeatedly and swallowed the snack in her mouth, "This minister knows, it's the art of war, Daddy taught me some of it before."

"You're right." The Queen Mother felt that they had to take their time and not rush. Just as she was about to say something else, she noticed that Bai Yimeng was grinding the medicine powder. The old Queen Mother was unhappy, "I won't take the medicine! If you dare to force me to drink those bitter things again, I will tell His Majesty and let him beat you with a stick."

"Empress Dowager, today we will not take medicine, but pills." Bai Yimeng continued to use the method of making medicine for the Queen and made a pill for the Empress Dowager.
