"I've already told Li Shuo that he will take care to protect you."

When the third day arrived, Ye Shuhua rode into the palace.

Dongfang Yao also asked to enter the palace together and prepare for the queen's birthday with Ye Shuhua.

Inside the Royal Palace.

The queen was closing her eyes and recuperating, and the palace maid came to report.

"Queen Mother, the second princess has entered the palace."

Mama, who was rubbing the corners of her forehead for the queen, smiled sinisterly: "Queen mother, do you want the old slave to send someone to embarrass her?" ”

The queen waved her hand to let the palace maid retreat, and then said: "Grasp the proportions, and the people of the Inner Court Division have all orders?" ”

Mama smiled flatteringly: "It's all ordered." ”

"Okay, let's go."

Because it was for the queen's birthday, Ye Shuhua's residence was arranged in the small courtyard next to the Baihua Palace.

said that it was a small courtyard, but in fact, it was a place where a palace maid who had been pampered lived in after she became pregnant.

And the palace maid died in the courtyard.

The palace has always been suspicious of the death of people here, so it has been deserted.

"Miss, they have gone too far to arrange for you to live in such a dilapidated yard! You're here to prepare for the Queen's birthday! ”

Ji Cui looked at the yard full of dust and cobwebs, and was so angry that he complained.

Ye Shuhua is nothing, she went to the house to take a look, and then looked at the small courtyard, but she thought it was not bad.

"Alright, let's get to work, let's clean up."

It was the queen's intention that she came to the palace to prepare for her birthday, and she knew how much she hated herself.

Arranging such a broken yard and not arranging someone to clean it is a basic operation.

Ji Cui nodded reluctantly and began to pick it up.

Bamboo Shadow also cleaned up with him.

At this time, Mama Zhou, who was beside the queen, came.

There were also several palace maids beside him, holding futons in their hands.

smiled kindly, "This is the futon prepared for the second imperial concubine, and the old slave has been busy today, so he didn't spare time to clean up the yard for the second imperial concubine, please forgive me." ”

As she spoke, she waved her hand and ordered the palace maids to throw all the bedding in their hands to the ground.

Looking at it again, the futon was an old yellowed bedding, and you could smell it from a few steps away.

"The old slave has to go back to restore the queen's life, so he won't bother the second princess."

Mama Zhou said this again, and turned around to leave.

Ji Cui was already angry, and Zhuying on the side also clenched his fists.

Ye Shuhua's expression did not change, looking at Mama Zhou who was walking away.

"Miss, this Mama Zhou is really too deceitful!"

Ji Cui roared angrily when he saw the people walking away.

He bent down to look at the futon on the ground and screamed, "Mom, there are bugs in there!" ”

"Is this for people! Mama Zhou is too much! ”

Ye Shuhua secretly thought in her heart, her eyes flickered, and she glanced at the futon on the ground.

"Put the futon away first, it must be put away."

"Then what are we going to do at night, Miss?" Takekage asked.

The requirements for entering the palace were strict, and they only brought a few clothes and nothing else.

Now it's winter, there is no bedding and no brazier, this is to freeze them to death.

Ye Shuhua was not in a hurry, "Let's clean up the house first, someone will send new bedding and charcoal fire later." ”

Ji Cui and Zhu Ying answered one by one and began to move.

Sure enough, as soon as they finished cleaning and it was just getting dark, someone came.

It's Lishuo.

The stove is charcoal, and the futon and refreshments are all available.

"If there is anything else that the imperial sister-in-law lacks, tell me directly, and I will order someone to arrange it."

Ye Shuhua smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”

After Li Shuo finished speaking, he took his leave.

It was night, and he couldn't stay any longer.

Coming out of the courtyard, he went straight to the Hundred Flowers Palace.

"The son visits the queen mother."

When the queen saw that her son had come to see her so late, she knew who he was coming for.

"If you came to see Hongu to say something to make Hongu angry, then leave quickly."

Li Shuo twisted his eyebrows and took a step forward and said: "Queen Mother, why do you treat the imperial sister-in-law like that, the imperial sister-in-law is here to prepare for your birthday, you don't give charcoal fire or bedding, do you want to freeze her to death?" ”

"This palace is busy, this thing is all done by Mama Zhou, Mama Zhou just sent the futon, why didn't you give it?"

"The Queen Mother! Erchen knows that you hate the second brother, but you can't transfer this dislike to the imperial sister-in-law, right? ”

The queen looked at the unsuccessful son in front of her, she was helping him, he had been against her, and his elbow turned out!

"What, you're in charge of this palace now? Hongu hates who has to let you approve it! ”

"Queen Mother, Erchen didn't mean that, Erchen just thinks that you shouldn't do this!"

"Should this palace use your beak, everything this palace does is not for you! Look at how many times you've been fighting against Hongu lately! You were well-behaved and obedient in the past, how good it is, look at you now, it's like being bought by that Li Zheng, you are the only one who obeys him all the time! Fight against Hongu everywhere! ”

"Queen Mother, the second brother is my biological brother, and he is also your own son, why do you hate him so much? Besides, the matter of the throne is who has the ability and who is in charge, and the sons and daughters do not have to sit on the throne of the emperor! ”

Syllable!

"Bastard!" The queen got down from the beauty couch and raised her hand to slap her.

"Everything in this palace is for you, you are not allowed to say this in the future!"

"Okay, the palace is tired, you can step down!"

The queen's face condensed and she roared.

Li Shuo knew that the queen mother was stubborn, and it was not possible to persuade her to confess once or twice.

I had to retreat first.

Mama Zhou stepped forward at this time to comfort the queen and said, "Don't be angry, the third prince will understand your good intentions one day." ”

The queen gasped a few times and said, "I hope he can figure it out!" ”

Early the next morning, Ye Shuhua packed up and left the courtyard and went to the Inner Court.

To prepare for the queen's birthday, it is indispensable to deal with the Inner Court.

The refreshments and dishes and the layout of the banquet have to be discussed and confirmed with the Inner Court Division one by one.

The head of the Inner Court Division was Gonggong Xu, but when Ye Shuhua arrived, he was stopped by a little father-in-law.

"Second Imperial Princess, our father-in-law Xu is unwell today, and it is inconvenient to see guests."

Ye Shuhua's eyes flashed, and she said, "What's wrong with Grandpa Xu?" ”

The little father-in-law lowered his head and said, "Father-in-law Xu accidentally fell into the water last night and was infected with the wind chill. ”

Overboard last night?

What a coincidence.

Ye Shuhua nodded quietly and said, "I know, then I also ask my little father-in-law to help me convey one or two, saying that I want to arrange the queen's birthday, and if Father-in-law Xu is unwell, I will also ask him to arrange someone who can be in charge to dock." ”

The little father-in-law nodded in response.

Ye Shuhua returned to her small courtyard.

For several days in a row, the Inner Court Division did not arrange for anyone to dock.

Ye Shuhua went to look for it a few more times, but she excused herself on the grounds of illness.

Dongfang Yao was arranged in a palace not close to her courtyard, which was arranged by the queen herself, and the treatment specifications were a hundred times stronger than Ye Shuhua's.

She wanted to go to Ye Shuhua the next day, but she was called by the queen to talk every day.

I want to refuse, but I can't.

That's why I came to her today.

Seeing such a small courtyard, Dongfang Yao showed an embarrassed look on her face, she knew that it must have been arranged by the queen.

In fact, according to her status, Ye Shuhua lived in the palace where she lived more than enough.

"Princess, you can move to live with me, although that dormitory is not big, it is more than enough for the two of us."

Ye Shuhua shook her head, "This courtyard is not bad." ”

Seeing that she was unwilling, Dongfang Yao didn't persuade her too much, and said, "By the way, I heard that Gonggong Xu of the Inner Court is sick?" Is he okay? This is less than ten days away from the queen's birthday. ”

Ye Shuhua shook his head, "He is determined not to see me, let alone let me successfully hold a banquet, of course the disease will not be easily cured." ”

"I guess he'll have to be sick for another ten days and a half."

"Then what should I do, I'll go to Gonggong Xu now, I'll look for him, he will always see me."

Saying that Dongfang Yao was leaving, Ye Shuhua stopped her.

"Don't go, if you go, he won't see you."

"So you're just going to spend it?"

Ye Shuhua took a leisurely sip of tea, "Of course not, let's wait and see." ”

"In two days, Grandpa Xu will come to me in person."

Although Dongfang Yao didn't know what method Ye Shuhua used, she believed her.

It's just, "So why are you waiting for these two days?" ”

Ye Shuhua smiled evilly: "Naturally not, there is one more thing that needs to be dealt with, it has been delayed for a long time, but it is okay." ”

"What's the matter?"

Ye Shuhua didn't say anything, but said, "I need you to help me do something." ”
