If she wasn't pregnant, I wouldn't bother with her, but now that she's pregnant, things are different. We need to be careful and cautious about everything."

"Yes, princess, don't worry, I know what's going on."

Mu Sili successfully got a ticket to Mulan with her thick skin. She was very happy and drank two more sips of the spiritual spring water.

There might be accidents during this Autumn Hunt in Mulan, so she needs to drink more so that she can perform meritorious service in time and protect the baby in her belly.

"My son pays his respects to my mother."

"Why are you here? Didn't Yinzhi say he wanted your help? What's the matter?"

Seeing the words "Tell me quickly" clearly written in Mu Sili's eyes, Yinqi said that he felt a little headache. Her mother's desire to listen to gossip has become stronger and stronger since the birth of her ninth brother.

After all, he is a filial son. Since his mother wants to hear it, it’s okay for him to talk to her.

"It's about my eldest brother getting married. Didn't the Emperor already have the eldest and second sisters-in-law arranged for him? My eldest brother is the eldest son, so he should get married first.

But the eldest brother himself was a young and inexperienced boy. Although he seemed carefree on weekdays, he became anxious when he heard that he was going to marry a wife, so he asked his son, the second brother who was the prince, and the third brother to come up with ideas.

Mother, I heard that my eighth brother has been playing with my ninth brother and the others recently. Why don't you say anything?"

"What's there to say? Am I the kind of person who can't stand seeing others get along well with your ninth brother and his friends?

But what you said reminds mother that your seventh brother is quite lonely. Since Yinsi can get along with Yin'er and others, I think he can too.

Wenxin, have someone deliver a message to Concubine Cheng, telling her that I really like Xiaoqi. Xiaoqi is a prince, so he needs to interact more with his brothers. Tell her not to keep Xiaoqi locked up in the prince's residence all the time, as it's not good for him."

"Yes, I will go to Qixiang Palace right away. If Concubine Cheng knew that you care so much about the Seventh Prince, she would definitely be grateful."

"I just can't bear to see Xiao Qi alone. It doesn't matter whether you are grateful or not. What matters is that I am thinking of Xiao Qi."

"I understand."

Looking at Wenxin's leaving back, Yinqi rolled his eyes. If mother didn't like eighth brother, she should just say it directly. Why did she drag seventh brother into this?

However, he didn't like his eighth brother very much. He was so young but he acted like a pleaser. He didn't know how Concubine Hui taught him.

My eldest brother was educated so well, so how could my eighth brother, who was also raised under Concubine Hui, have such a bad temper? I don't understand.

"Mother, I'm going to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. My son and the Emperor will be back for dinner tonight. Please ask the kitchen to prepare a few of my favorite dishes."

"good."

In the Yiku Palace, Mu Sili was chasing Yin'er all over the palace with a feather duster in her hand. Behind her followed Wen Xin, who looked worried, Yin'er and Yin'er, who were busy trying to stop the fight, and Yin'er, who was watching the show nearby.

"Mother Yi, don't be angry. Ninth Brother really didn't organize any gambling. It was all just Eighth Brother's nonsense.

At best, Brother Nine just shouted something from the sidelines, and as a result, more people placed bets. If you don't believe me, go ask them, it's indeed the case."

Yin? was explaining anxiously that his Ninth Brother was so delicate and tender that he couldn't stand Yi'er Niang's beating. He had to persuade him, otherwise he would not be able to bear to look at his Ninth Brother after he was disfigured.

"That's right, Brother Nine really didn't do anything. I don't know why his sons became like that.

"Mother Yi, didn't you say that the Emperor and Fifth Brother would be back for dinner? If they see you so irritable, Ninth Brother will be in trouble."

When Yinzhen heard that he was in danger, he became anxious.

"Mother, I really didn't gather anyone to gamble. I just shouted twice and left with my tenth and eleventh brothers, and my eighth brother too.

I really don't know how the news of my son's gambling scandal got out. He's been wronged."

Although Yinzhen was only five years old, he was very mature in his speech and actions, and did not look like a child who had just turned five at all.

After hearing his words, Mu Sili had nothing to understand. It must be that Yinsi was playing tricks behind their backs again, using their dandy behavior to highlight his own excellence.

"Mother, the Emperor and my fifth brother are coming soon. Please give your son some face. He came out of your belly. Don't you still believe in his character?"

"If you give me the two thousand taels of silver that you hid, I will still believe you."

When he heard that he was asked to give away his hidden silver, Yinzhen refused to accept it and immediately stuck his butt out, asking Mu Sili to spank him.

Anyway, the palace servants in Yikun Palace knew their limits. Even if they really hit him, they would just touch him lightly and would not dare to make any big moves.

Mu Sili was speechless after seeing his action. She was asking Xiaojiu to hand over the banknotes to her, not to embezzle his banknotes. Was it really that necessary?

Seeing Mu Sili frowned, Yinsi thought she was unhappy and wanted to show his presence to win her attention. It would be even better if he could seduce her to be on his side, so he spoke to her with the same words he used to talk to others.

"My dear mother, my ninth brother didn't do it on purpose. Don't be angry. You are pregnant now, so you shouldn't be so worried and upset.

Ninth brother, the banknotes should be handed over to your mother for safekeeping. My eighth brother told me before that you are still young and it is not suitable for you to hold too much silver."

Mu Sili raised an eyebrow and looked at him. How could he think that she was angry? She was just teasing Xiaojiu.

After hearing his words, Yinzhen was also a little unhappy. Isn’t this nonsense, my brother?

His mother would not be angry with him, but he earned the money himself, and it would be a bit uncomfortable to hand it over like this.

"When did I ever say I was angry? Xiao Ba, taking things out of context is not what a gentleman does. You are seven years old now, so don't speak carelessly. You should think carefully before you speak.

I heard that you have a very good reputation in the palace. This is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing. There is a crown prince in the palace, and you have made your reputation better than the crown prince. What? Are you coveting the crown prince's position?"

Yinsi's face turned pale. Mu Sili's words were too serious for him to bear. If it got out, he would be hated by the prince.

"Your Highness, mother, you misunderstood. How could I dare to have such thoughts? I just thought it was not good for my ninth brother to gamble in the palace, so I said that."

"Don't be afraid. People who don't know might think I've done something to you. If the Emperor asks about it, I won't know how to explain it.

Okay, go back and act more generously in the future. We are all sons of the emperor, born noble. Don't act like you're trying to please others all day long, or you'll lose face for the royal family."

Yinsi said with a pale face that he knew it and left. He didn't expect that his rhetoric, which had always been effective in the past, would fail with Mu Sili today. He had to go back to his mother and change his tactics.

When Yin'er saw Yinsi leaving, he also wanted to slip away. If he didn't, his small treasury would be lost.
