Yifang did what he said, so he was ruthless, and no one was allowed to send anything to Huanning Hall to eat. She knew that there was still food stored in the small kitchen of Huanning Palace, which could be enough for them to support for a while, but it was only five or six days at most. A month was enough time for them to be so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs.

"Niangniang, if Mrs. Shen really starved to death, won't the emperor blame her?" Although Teng Ling also felt that this was extremely painful, he was still a little worried in his heart.

"It was the emperor's own order to confine her to Huanning Palace, what does it have to do with this palace?" Yi Fang smiled with a chill.

It's just that this plan didn't succeed, and it happened that Liu Le lived in the palace during this time, and when he had nothing to do, he wandered around, and naturally heard the news that Mrs. Shen was grounded. Originally, she didn't want to go to this troubled water, but she heard a palace maid talking that the queen was not allowed to send food to Huanning Palace, so she planned to save Mrs. Shen's life.

Liu Le has his own thoughts, Mrs. Shen is now favored, even if she makes a big mistake, she is only grounded for a month. In the future, she will definitely be favored by Liu Heng, and when the time comes, she, the benefactor who saved her life by sending charcoal in the snow, will naturally be treated with courtesy, and if she wants to deal with Yifang through Mrs. Shen, it will be much easier.

After all, Liu Le has lived in the palace for many years, and he is very clear about the corners of the back doors of each palace and hall. She personally handed over the food to the people of Huanning Palace, and asked them to hand Mrs. Shen a note to let her know that she had helped her.

In addition to Huanning Palace, Yifang also has its own things to be busy. After giving the order, she didn't pay much attention, she had been in the harem for so many years, and she knew the virtues of those palace people. Now that Mrs. Shen is in trouble, and she has given an order not to bring her food, naturally no one will take the risk to help her. But she didn't expect that there was a Liu Le among them, and she deliberately played cards out of common sense, which disrupted Yifang's practice.

But Yifang didn't know about this matter for the time being, and she put her mind on Zhou Ying.

Shortly after Mrs. Shen was grounded, Zhou Yafu came to her in a big circle. Zhou Ying, a once a little child, has now grown up, married a young man in Shezi Restaurant, and gave birth to a lovely daughter a few years ago.

But the sky is not beautiful, just two months ago, two guests in the Shezi Restaurant made a move, Zhou Ying's husband stepped forward to persuade him, but he was accidentally hit in the back of the head and died on the spot.

Zhou Ying took care of her husband's funeral alone, and also took a daughter, although because of Deng Tong, Shezi Restaurant did not dismiss her. But after all, she dragged her daughter, and because of the death of her husband, she was hit hard, and she didn't do things as neatly as usual, and even she felt that she was living in a house for nothing, so she felt deeply embarrassed.

Zhou Ying, who was almost desperate, finally asked his brother for help, but now that the frontier is not peaceful, Zhou Yafu is still needed to go out to fight, and he has no time to stay in Chang'an City all the time, so he can't take care of his sister much. Zhou Yafu thought about it, but he could only ask Yifang for this matter.

Yifang is the benefactor of their brother and sister, who has helped Zhou Ying since she was a child, and also has a certain affection for this child.

"Niangniang, the sister-in-law's family suffered such a catastrophe, and the minister didn't expect it. But the minister is about to leave for the frontier to calm down a round of war, although he can help his sister in terms of money, but he can't always be by her side to enlighten her. The minister wants to come and go or only to meet Niangniang, the sister always thanks Niangniang for saving her life back then, if it is Niangniang, she may be able to listen to some. ”

"Bengong understands what you mean, it just so happens that Bengong is pregnant during this time, and he can't move around, and there is a lack of someone to talk to. Since you mentioned this matter, then it's time for Ying'er to come to the palace to live for a few days, and the palace can talk to her well. Yi Fang thought for a while, and added, "You have made a lot of military achievements for the emperor, and now you are also going to pacify the frontier for my Han Dynasty, just let your sister come to the palace to live for a few days, and the emperor will agree to come to the emperor." ”

"Thank you here. Niangniang's kindness to the minister's family, the minister's life is unforgettable, and he will always be loyal to our dynasty. Zhou Yafu solemnly bowed to Yifang.

"General Zhou doesn't have to be polite, the emperor can have an outstanding general like you to assist, it is my blessing for the Han!"

As Yifang expected, after mentioning this matter to Liu Heng, Zhou Ying and her daughter Wei Ruoqi were taken into the palace by a carriage.

When she first arrived at Jiaofang Palace, although Zhou Ying was still as gloomy as Zhou Yafu said, she couldn't help but show surprise after seeing the gorgeous buildings and decorations in the palace. The daughter who followed her had just become sensible, and was obviously not as sentimental about her father's death as her mother, but now she had come to a new environment, and she was curious about everything.

"Ying'er." Yifang went out to greet him in person, and as soon as he saw someone, he called out from a long distance.

Zhou Ying saw that the once approachable sister Shangguan was dressed luxuriously and was surrounded by a large group of people, so she didn't dare to step forward, but Wei Ruoqi behind her suddenly ran in front of Yifang.

"Wow, this dress is so beautiful!" Wei Ruoqi has been very active since he was a child, and he has always been able to please everyone in Shezi Restaurant, even when he arrives at the palace.

Zhou Ying hurriedly pulled the child back: "Ruoqi, don't move, see the queen mother." ”

"The people's daughter sees the queen's mother, and the queen's mother is happy forever." Xu has already taught them the rules outside the palace, and the mother and daughter have not made any mistakes in etiquette.

"When you come to the palace for the first time, you don't have to be polite or too restrained." Yifang instructed someone to take them in, "These days, you have been living in this Jiaofang Hall in the main palace, and the house has been arranged for you." Tengling, you take them over to settle down first, and after everything is cleaned up, then come and talk to the palace. ”

Zhou Ying responded, everything was done according to Yifang's meaning, but Wei Ruoqi's eyes seemed to be glued to Yifang's clothes, tilting his head and looking at it, it seemed that he really liked it.

Zhou Ying has worked in Shezi Restaurant for so many years, and she is the best at cleaning up the house. In less than half an hour, they had all packed up and were led to the Yifang.

"I haven't seen you in years, and I've heard from your brother that you've not been having a good time lately." After a few years, the timid girl in Yifang's memory has grown up, and she doesn't even know how to talk to her.

As soon as she heard this, Zhou Ying remembered her sadness again. She has a lot of worries these days, and she doesn't know how to describe the pain she is full of. Although Yifang has become a high-ranking queen, facing her, Zhou Ying still has a rare sense of security in her heart. She told Yifang about what happened before, and as long as she said such pain, she would be relieved a lot.

After saying this, Zhou Ying calmed down a lot, and it happened that the gifts that Yifang had ordered in advance to prepare were also delivered. She learned from Zhou Yafu that Zhou Ying had a daughter, and thinking that the little girls liked new clothes, she asked the weaving room to make a few clothes according to the appearance of Liu Yan, who was about the same age as Wei Ruoqi.

"Ruoqi, do you like this dress in this palace very much?" Yifang called Wei Ruoqi to his side and touched her hair.

Ruoqi nodded frankly: "I like it, the folk girl has never seen such beautiful clothes before, and it looks better on the mother." ”

"Do you want to wear clothes like this?"

"Yes." Ruoqi almost blurted out.

"Ruoqi, in front of the queen, don't talk nonsense." Zhou Ying hurriedly reprimanded.

Yifang waved his hand and asked people to present the clothes that had been prepared in advance.

"Ying'er, it's common for children to like beautiful clothes, and this palace knew that you were coming, so I ordered someone to prepare a few sets for Ruoqi in advance." Yifang asked people to bring the clothes to Ruoqi, "Look, these beautiful clothes are all yours." ”

"Queen Mother, how embarrassing is this? These garments were for the children of the palace. Zhou Ying was immediately flattered.

Yifang shook his head with a smile: "Although it is a dress made in the palace, it may not be impossible to wear it for children outside the palace." Ruoqi is now a daughter of a private family, maybe she will have the opportunity to enter the palace and become the master in the future! ”

Zhou Ying looked at Ruoqi and saw her looking at her with longing eyes, so she also nodded: "Then thank you to the queen mother, Ruoqi, don't hurry up and thank you." ”

"The people's daughter, thank you for the queen's love."

Zhou Ying took Ruoqi to live in the palace for more than ten days, but Yifang was still reluctant to let them go, so after asking Liu Heng for instructions, he kept them until the day when Zhou Yafu returned victorious.

A few days later, the January period has arrived, and it is time for Mrs. Shen to come out of the Huanning Palace. Although she relied on the plants sent by Liu Le to survive this month, she didn't dare to tell Liu Heng what Yifang had done to her. This is full of bad breath, and she can only swallow it by herself.

But Mrs. Shen is obviously not a person who will always swallow her anger, not long after she lifted the grounding, she went to meet Liu Le and designed a big drama for Yifang with her. Time passes day by day, and this big drama is gradually staged.

"Niangniang, this Mrs. Shen is really life-threatening, so she didn't starve to death, but after she came out, she was a little plump." Tengling is really puzzled by this.

Yifang smiled indifferently: "If she was really hungry for a month, of course it wouldn't be like this, but looking at the current situation, someone secretly sent her food." ”

"Mother, what should we do now? Mrs. Shen will definitely not give up at this time, and may turn around to find trouble with her mother. Tengling couldn't help but worry again.

"What are you afraid of her doing? She turned over so many storms in the harem, and she didn't see what happened to the palace, but she made herself suffer. ”

Yifang didn't seem to take Mrs. Shen seriously, but in fact, he was thinking about how to deal with her in his heart. Teng Ling is right, with her temperament, she will never give up.
