Song Ping snorted and laughed when she heard this. "Your Majesty is simple-minded, kind and innocent. He naturally won't understand the way the Queen Mother punishes people."
Shuncai did not refute, but responded, "Your Excellency said that, but this is strange, why the Queen Mother, with such an iron fist, taught such a soft persimmon emperor, it is really sad."
Hearing this question, Song Ping did not answer, but her eyes flashed.
Before Shuncai realized that she was acting strange, Song Ping quickly smiled and said, "I heard that the two maids serving His Majesty were not very clean. Does your aunt know about this?"
"When this incident came to light, only the servant and I knew about it. His Majesty also stopped us from telling the Queen Mother, so I naturally had to take His Majesty's wishes into consideration."
"Eunuch Shuncai."
Song Ping's tone suddenly became serious. "You have served my aunt for many years. You understand her thoughts the best and know her love for His Majesty the best. If the two maids' actions were to get out, wouldn't it cause people outside to talk about His Majesty not being strict with his subordinates and not being able to manage the few palace maids in his own palace, let alone handle state affairs?"
Shuncai had not thought of this. He was stunned after hearing this. He was not sure what Song Ping was thinking, so he could only ask, "What does the lord mean?"
Song Ping was still smiling, but her eyes were cold. "Of course, it's to serve as a warning to the rest. With those two maids as an example, let's see who dares to mess around in the palace in the future."
After saying this, his tone suddenly changed, "Of course, your majesty is still young and has not yet appointed a queen, so all matters should be decided by your aunt. It is better to ask your aunt to make this matter."
He immediately understood what Song Ping meant. He paused for a moment, then smiled knowingly.
"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely get this done."
Song Ping took two steps forward, then turned around and bowed to Shuncai, "The gate of Shoukang Palace is in front of us. My aunt must be there without anyone to serve her. Father-in-law, just send her here. I can walk the rest of the way by myself."
Shuncai didn't say much, just smiled at Song Ping, "Then I wish you a safe journey."
Song Ping turned to leave, but Shuncai looked at his back for a long time without leaving. After he disappeared, he clicked his tongue twice and whispered, "No wonder the Queen Mother loves this little nephew so much. It turns out that this nephew's character is most like the Queen Mother's. He is just as resolute and ruthless as her."
Having said these words, Shuncai shook his head again and went back to report.
When Shuncai came back, the Queen Mother was dozing off. Without waiting for him to pay her respects, she opened her slightly squinted eyes and asked, "Are you going home?"
"My Lord was worried that the other palace servants were not serving the Empress Dowager well, so he did not allow me to see him off at the door, and only told me to come back to serve the Empress Dowager."
Shuncai just kept saying good things about Song Ping in front of the Queen Mother. Seeing that the Queen Mother did not feel disgusted, he added, "Your Excellency is really filial to the Queen Mother."
These words touched the Queen Mother's heart, and she smiled and nodded, "Ping'er is indeed a good child."
Speaking of Song Ping,
The Queen Mother thought of her own son again, "How is the Emperor? The breakfast has been delivered. How is he eating?"
Hearing the Queen Mother's question, Shuncai hurriedly said, "Queen Mother, have you forgotten? A few days ago, you tested your Majesty's homework and said that your progress was too slow. You asked your Majesty to read for another hour after the morning court every day."
As he spoke, he peeked outside and said, "It's only this hour now, His Majesty should still be reading."
Hearing this answer, the Queen Mother was silent at first, and then she sighed, "I forgot about this."
After a pause, she said angrily, "The emperor is not doing his job well."
Only the Queen Mother dared to say this, and everyone else wished they could close their ears so they wouldn't hear this.
There was no sign of panic on Shuncai's face. Instead, he opened his mouth several times, seeming to be a little hesitant.
The Queen Mother quickly noticed Shuncai's abnormality and turned to ask, "What's wrong?"
Shuncai's face was even more hesitant. After repeated questioning by the Queen Mother, he finally spoke, "I heard the other day that the two young palace maids who served Your Majesty neglected Your Majesty's diet and daily life because of their playfulness, causing Your Majesty to catch a cold. I don't know if Your Majesty's inability to study these days is related to the last cold."
The Queen Mother's slightly calm gaze suddenly became sharp again, "When did this happen? Why didn't anyone come to report it to me?"
Shuncai had not expected that this sentence would make the Queen Mother so angry. He knelt down hurriedly and said, "It happened three days ago. Your Majesty did not allow the people below to talk too much. Besides, it was just a minor cold this time. After the imperial physician prescribed medicine, Your Majesty is now much better."
“Bold!”
The Queen Mother reprimanded, and the whole hall was immediately filled with the sound of people kneeling down.
Shuncai knelt in the front and tried to persuade him, "I know that the Queen Mother is worried about your Majesty's health, but your health is equally important. I dare to ask you to put your health first."
Although she said so, the Queen Mother was in no position to listen to her at this moment.
"Help me change my clothes and go to Chaoyuan Palace."
Seeing that the empress dowager was still angry, Shuncai waved his hand and ordered several palace maids to help the empress dowager change clothes, while he ordered people to prepare the sedan chair.
In the Qianyuan Hall, the little emperor was reading. When he heard someone outside report that the queen dowager had arrived, his little face was immediately filled with panic.
Several young eunuchs hurriedly removed all the toys on the table and replaced them with a solemn-looking Shenshui incense. They then carefully comforted the emperor, "Your Majesty, rest assured. The Empress Dowager is your biological mother after all. She will not harm you."
