A man with a fairy-like and handsome appearance was what Ruan Ningyun had been expecting, but at this moment, his face was as gloomy as water, and Ruan Ningyun felt a little scared.

"She was the one who contradicted me first..." Ruan Ningyun said with a lack of confidence.

Qiuyue, who was standing aside, was secretly delighted. After all, the prince still cared about her and even vented his anger for her.

Chu Younan said coldly: "She is the princess's person. Don't you have to look at the owner when beating a dog?"

The corners of Qiuyue's mouth suddenly drooped, causing the wound on her cheek to become affected, and she grimaced in pain.

Ruan Ningyun was not in a good mood either. Seeing Chu Younan was angry, she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty! She is the one who wants to join forces with me to deal with the princess! I didn't intend to compete for favor, so how could I agree?"

Chu Younan looked at Qiuyue with a little suspicion.

Qiuyue pretended to be calm and said, "I dare not..."

But they didn't know that Chu Younan had already read their thoughts clearly.

"You are punished by privately punishing the princess's maid by copying the Rules for Females a hundred times!" Chu Younan said to Ruan Ningyun.

Ruan Ningyun looked resentful, "Your Majesty! It's her..."

"Do you have any objection to my punishment?" Chu Younan frowned and stared at her.

Yes, but I dare not say it.

Ruan Ningyun swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth and shook her head, saying, "I dare not."

Qiuyue was overjoyed and grinned, but she accidentally touched the wound and hissed in pain.

Just a gentle touch.

But Chu Younan turned around and glared at her, "You are so weird and don't know how to fulfill your duties as a maid. I punish you to kneel for two hours!"

Qiuyue's smile froze completely, "Your Majesty, this servant..."

"You still dare to talk back? Add two more hours!" Chu Younan interrupted her.

Qiuyue was a wild maid who had never received any maid training. She was bold to begin with, and now she was even more ignorant of life and death. "I didn't talk back!"

"Add two more hours!" Chu Younan said in a deep voice.

This time Qiuyue didn't dare to say anything. No matter how hard her bones were, they were not as hard as the Regent. If she made another sound, she would probably break her legs.

Chu Younan turned and left.

Qiuyue and Ruan Ningyun were left staring at each other, wishing they could stare holes in each other's bodies.

But in comparison, Qiuyue was clearly at a disadvantage. Other concubines were punished by just writing, but she had to kneel and break her legs, so she secretly made up her mind to climb up and hug the thick legs.

The Imperial Palace.

After friendly negotiations between the two Empress Dowagers, they decided to hold a talent show for Chu Youyang.

Xue Jinrong was almost furious and secretly decided to leave the palace.

Chu Youyang knew her temper, so he went to Queen Mother Mei to plead for mercy. But as soon as he entered the yard, he saw a strange figure.

He jumped off the sedan, limped over, and grabbed the man by the collar, without caring about his image at all.

Gu Rui was startled and turned around to look, seeing the two of them staring at each other.

"Who are you?!" Chu Youyang shouted angrily. He felt that this nurse was a little weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Gu Rui covered his chest and said in a thin voice: "I am the little princess's wet nurse..."

The voice is weird, the posture is weird too.

Mainly because Chu Youyang pulled him, the two big buns he was holding tended to fall crooked.

The two continued to stare at each other.

Upon seeing this, Xiang'er secretly ran to tell Empress Dowager Mei.

There was a man secretly hiding in the palace. If this matter were to get out, Empress Dowager Mei's reputation would be ruined. Empress Dowager Mei was also a little panicked and hurried out, "Why is the emperor here?"

Chu Youyang let go of her hand and said, "Greetings to the Queen Mother. Isn't this nurse the one from Tongcheng? Why does she look so unfamiliar?"

"That wet nurse had trouble acclimatizing to the local climate on the road, so I found a temporary one. The little princess was close to her, so I didn't change her." Empress Dowager Mei pretended to be calm.

Chu Youyang looked at Gu Rui again with doubt.

Empress Dowager Mei hurriedly asked, "Rui Niang, didn't I ask you to go to the Regent's Palace? Why haven't you left yet?"

"The little princess was crying just now, so I am leaving now." Gu Rui said hurriedly.

"Then go quickly!" Empress Dowager Mei waved her hand.

Gu Rui retreated in a hurry.

Chu Youyang was full of doubts.

Seeing him staring at Gu Rui's back, Empress Dowager Mei hurriedly asked, "Is the Emperor here for something?"

"Oh, right!" Chu Youyang then remembered the purpose of his visit and hurriedly limped forward, "Mother, can the selection be postponed?"

"Come in and talk!"

Seeing Gu Rui leave the yard, Empress Dowager Mei breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Rui was indeed going to the Regent's Palace, and he had told Queen Mother Mei about it. It was because he heard Queen Mother Mei say that the Regent Princess was jealous for some reason, and wanted to divorce Chu Younan just because he favored a maid.

In fact, Gu Rui understood very well. He knew that Su Bei was not an ancient man and could not accept having three wives and four concubines. But he suddenly remembered something...

He had set up a peach blossom formation in Tongcheng, and Chu Younan and Su Bei had lived in it. He estimated that they would get jealous and angry more and more in the future...

He has to sort this out.

But he kept thinking along the way that this matter must not be said openly, otherwise who knows how the two of them will punish him.

How can we get them to cut a lock of hair each and put it in the bedroom of the Tongcheng Prince's Mansion? This is a later story. Let's first talk about who he talked to about this.

Although he was dressed as a woman, he was a real man. It would definitely not be appropriate for him to meet Su Bei. If Chu Younan knew about it, who knew how jealous he would be given the remaining influence of Taohua Town.

So he decided to meet Chu Younan.

But when Guizi was taking him to Lingfeng Pavilion, he was seen by Duan Zhanfang.

Many people in the mansion knew that Chu Younan brought Qiuyue back to Lingfeng Pavilion. Duan Zhanfang felt sorry for Su Bei at the time, and now that he brought another one with him, Duan Zhanfang could hardly hold back her anger.

But she finally held back. The princess is so pitiful, so let's not make things difficult for her.

When Gu Rui entered Lingfeng Pavilion, he happened to meet Su Xiujie coming out.

Su Xiujie was very annoyed when he saw it.

Even if Chu Younan couldn't help it, didn't he have a concubine in the mansion? At worst, there were so many maids, why did he still look for someone from outside? Looking at the way that vixen walked, her body was up and down, she didn't look like a good person!

No, he had to find Su Bei quickly and keep the matter secret if possible.

When he got there, he saw Duan Zhanfang was also there, and the two of them didn't seem to be having a very happy chat.

Duan Zhanfang must have told Su Bei about it? He hurriedly asked, "Did you tell me about that?"

"She said it." Su Bei frowned.

It’s over, Su Bei must be unhappy!

Su Xiujie quickly comforted her, "It's not a big deal."

"Isn't this a big deal?" Su Bei said unhappily.

"Calm down, nothing is more important than your health. For a man, it's normal to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that the prince's status is not ordinary..." Su Xiujie hurried to comfort her.

Duan Zhanfang's eyes suddenly widened. "We were just talking about my family asking me to look for a husband in the capital, how did it get involved with the prince?"

Suddenly, the scene became very awkward.
