Concubine Wen thought secretly in her heart, remembering that her fortune had changed after she met the little princess in the past two days.
After returning to the palace, I have to make more clothes for the little princess. Children grow up very fast.
Concubine Wen looked radiant and no longer as gloomy as before.
Queen Duan took a small revenge and was in a good mood.
On the way back to Fengyi Palace, Nanny Cui whispered, "I heard that the emperor has been investigating the eldest son of the Lu family recently. I heard that even the prefect of Jingzhao has been invited to the palace."
Queen Duan was surprised, Lord Lin?
Speaking of which, Lord Lin was also a close confidant of Emperor Shangwen in the past and should have been granted an important position. However, Lord Lin was unwilling to hold a high position and only wanted the position of Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture.
Emperor Shangwen saw that he was determined to do so, so he had to let him do it. However, if there were any major changes in the court, Lord Lin would appear in the palace.
In other words, Lord Lin was the Emperor Shangwen's secret eye for investigating the civil officials.
The net of heaven is vast and long, and nothing can escape it. If anyone has second thoughts about the court, he will certainly not be let off.
"Madam Cui, when you have time, tell my brother to investigate where the disaster relief money in the capital has gone in the past two years, especially focusing on investigating Lu Zongyuan."
Lu Zongyuan is the eldest son of Prime Minister Lu. He is resourceful and decisive. If the father and son had not disagreed on political views, they might have been able to win over all the civil servants.
Of course, Queen Duan felt that the farce caused by the two people's different political views and constant quarrels was more like a show.
This drama might be performed for everyone in the court, or it might be... performed by the current emperor.
"Yes, I understand."
After returning to Fengyi Palace, Queen Duan walked to Lin'er's side, looked at the cute glutinous rice dumpling, and couldn't help but curled the corners of her mouth.
My little lucky star, grow up quickly, and I will give you the best in the world.
Xiao Ruyu had a good sleep, and then she smelled a familiar fragrance from her nose. She recognized it at once. It was her mother!
"Mother, how is my cousin? Is there something wrong? My cousin treats me so well, nothing can happen to him."
Empress Duan was also worried about this matter and planned to send Nanny Cui to inquire about the news. At this time, a young palace maid brought news about the imperial physician Shu.
The palace maid brought the news and said respectfully.
"My lady, Imperial Doctor Yang said that Master Duan's leg has been bandaged, but he can't get out of bed for the next half month. He will be fine if he takes good care of himself."
The worry on Queen Duan's face finally eased. She raised her eyes and asked Nanny Cui to reward the palace maid with silver.
After the palace maids left, the queen ordered the guards of Fengyi Palace to go to the storehouse to find some ginseng and herbs to nourish Duan Yiling's body.
When Xiao Ruyu learned that her little cousin was fine, the stone in her heart fell.
I’m so glad that my little cousin is safe and sound. When she grows up, I can play with her!
Otherwise, my lame cousin won’t be able to find a wife when he grows up.
"Yiling is fine, Yu'er, you can rest assured."
Xiao Ruyu nodded heavily and clapped her hands as if she was cheering.
"My little cousin can play with me from now on."
The little princess's laughter made Queen Duan laugh uncontrollably.
"I'm afraid we'll have to wait a month or two, but by then, Yu'er might be able to crawl out and play."
"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Yang requests to see you." Someone outside the palace reported.
Queen Duan still had things to deal with, so she did not stay in the princess's palace for long. She instructed the wet nurse to take good care of the two children and then left.
Xiao Ruyu finally let go of her worries. Looking at Eleven who was standing straight beside her, she spoke in a soft voice.
"Eleven, tell me a story, please."
Eleven's stern face smiled, "What story would you like to hear, Princess?"
"I want to hear some stories from the market. Is there a story about a domineering prince falling in love with me? Or, a story about a willful lady being sent to the East Palace?"
Xiao Ruyu said this seriously, and Eleven spread his hands helplessly. He didn't know what the little princess's previous world was like, and how could there be such a weird notebook.
However, if it really exists, it would be very interesting.
"Eleven doesn't like to listen to operas. After returning to the Marquis' Mansion with his adoptive father, he has been studying and training every day. He has done a lot of things, but the only thing he has never listened to is a storybook."
Xiao Ruyu sighed, Xiao Eleven's life was too miserable, but being her secret guard wouldn't be so troublesome, all he had to do was protect his own life.
She raised her eyebrows and suddenly had a good idea.
"Eleven, you've never heard of a storybook, so how about I tell you a story and you write it down? Then we can sell the storybook and maybe we can make some money."
Eleven blinked his deep eyes. Although he had never written a storybook, the princess' idea was definitely right.
"Okay, Eleven will listen to the princess."
Xiao Ruyu is in the novice stage of being an infant, and is feeling bored right now. As long as he doesn't waste his spiritual energy, he will be full of energy.
In the past, when she was in Yaowang Valley, she would sometimes write storybooks to relax while practicing, and she could write stories with ease.
I shouldn't say this, but when younger immortals were popular in the immortal cultivation world, she even secretly wrote a conversation notebook for her master and junior fellow apprentices, but it was just for entertainment of course.
The master and the junior fellow apprentice are innocent.
When Eleven prepared the paper and pen, Xiao Ruyu's voice came to his mind. Compared with his usual soft and cute voice, this time it was a little gentler.
The little princess kept talking about the plot, and Eleven's brows furrowed deeper as he listened. That's right, what Xiao Ruyu read out was the story of the master and disciple that his junior had written.
When he heard the story of Nioniao Jiangjiang, Eleven's ears turned red. He quickly covered his ears with anger in his eyes.
"Princess, please don't say anything inappropriate. This... this is against the rules! Eleven can't write anymore!"
I thought it was a melodramatic storyline, but who knew it would turn out like this.
He quit writing and ran away. Xiao Ruyu sighed to the sky.
[Wow, maybe my storybook is well written, bad Eleven, I'd better not talk to you anymore. ]
When Eleven was halfway through his run, he heard the little princess looking so pitiful. He finally softened his heart and turned back, sighing and saying to the princess.
"Never mind. I'll just write it."
An hour later, Eleven put down his pen and put away the notebook. For a whole hour, he resisted the urge to tear up the notebook and finally finished writing the sweet story of two men younger than him.
He suddenly felt that it was not too harsh for his adoptive father to make him practice martial arts for five hours in the past. It was better than writing a storybook now.
The little princess kept talking about this, and when she finished the story, she turned over and fell into a deep sleep.
Eleven thought that Duan Yiling was injured, so he went to deliver the storybook to the teahouse and it was a good opportunity to go and see him.
So he got up and left the palace.
A month later, the teahouse in the capital suddenly became popular. It turned out that they had staged a play called "The Stunning Fairy".
There are quite a lot of scripts in the capital, almost endlessly, so it is extraordinary to be able to break through the siege.

After Duan Yiling's leg injury healed a little, he thought about not having seen his sister for a long time, so he impatiently begged his father to take him to the palace to see his sister.
