Prince Han went to find another place to calm down.
Gu Mei was panting and feeling a little uncomfortable.
Gu Jiu took her pulse and said, "Sister Mei is still a little weak. Remember to take the medicinal recipe I gave you last time on time. It will help you recuperate."
Gu Mei smiled sheepishly, "Thanks to Xiaojiu, I will remember the medicinal recipe today. If it weren't for you, I would have suffered a loss today. Ever since I gave birth to Niuniu, I feel like my brain isn't working very well."
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, "Sister Mei is stupid for three years after pregnancy."
Gu Mei was stunned at first, then burst into laughter, "You're right, I'm stupid for three years after I got pregnant."
Gu Jiu held her hand and said, "Don't worry, Sister Mei. If something happens, even if I'm not here, you still have the entire Gu family to back you up."
Gu Mei shook her head, "Although my parents' home is in the capital, just a stone's throw away, sometimes I still feel isolated and helpless.
But today was different. Sister Xiaojiu vented my anger for me. I had always disliked that girl named Qu, but I couldn't get angry because of her status.
Today, I was so stern and told her to get out, but she shamelessly stayed. It shows that this woman, though young, has a lot of tricks up her sleeve.
"Sister Mei, I have a question, please don't be offended."
"Sister Xiaojiu, just ask."
Gu Jiu pondered for a moment before asking, "Is there something going on between Prince Han and Miss Qu?"
Gu Mei shook her head. "The prince definitely doesn't have any extra thoughts about Miss Qu, but I can't say for sure whether Miss Qu has any thoughts about my prince."
Gu Jiu looked puzzled. "Miss Qu is the daughter of a military family. She can't possibly marry Prince Han as a concubine. Is she going through all this trouble? Is she crazy? Or does she have other plans?"
"It's hard to say. Maybe they hope to piss me off to death so they can replace me." Gu Mei's words were full of resentment.
Gu Jiu comforted her, "Sister Mei, please be more open-minded. You have to think of it this way. You are the future mistress of this family, and now the wife of the prince.
Show your manners as the Crown Prince's wife. If anyone dares to bully you, don't worry about your face and just hit him.
If things really get out of hand, you can ask the Marquis' Mansion and the old lady to intervene and take charge of the matter for you."
Gu Mei held Gu Jiu's hand with her backhand, "Little Jiu, you are right. I was too polite to others before, and others thought I was weak and could be bullied. From now on, I will no longer be polite to those people."
Gu Jiu nodded heavily.
Gu Mei called the maid and asked, "Where did the prince go?"
"The prince went to the small study, closed the door, and refused to let anyone come close to serve him."
"What about Qu?"
"Miss Qu went to see Aunt Qu crying. Madam, I'm worried that Aunt Qu will go to the old lady and make a scene."
"Let her make trouble. I'm not afraid of her."
Gu Mei snorted, then laughed with Gu Jiu again, "I'm so sorry for making a fool of myself today, little sister Jiu."
"Sister Mei, please don't be polite to me."
She went into the room again to look after Niuniu.
The heat on Niu Niu's forehead has been subsiding, which is a good sign.
When Gu Mei saw Niuniu, she suddenly felt a surge of resentment. "He left without even looking at Niuniu just to get angry with me. I even doubt whether he has Niuniu in his heart."
Gu Jiu said, "Men who haven't experienced ten months of pregnancy won't be filled with fatherly love the way women are the moment they see a child born. You have to let Prince Han take care of Niuniu himself. With more time, he'll develop feelings for her."
Gu Mei agreed deeply, "You're right. Men don't have to go through ten months of pregnancy. People with cold temperaments naturally won't have feelings for children."
"Sister Mei, don't get stuck in a rut. Some men are slow to develop feelings, and they have to be nurtured slowly. It's not that they are cold-hearted by nature."
Gu Mei smiled and held Gu Jiu's hand. "Don't worry, little sister Jiu, I won't dwell on trivial matters. I just see things more clearly."
The maid Panchun came in to report, "Madam, Aunt Qu has come to the old lady to complain. The old lady wants you to come over."
"I went there with Sister Mei. After all, it was me who started it all."
"No need. I've already troubled Sister Jiu so much today. I can handle the rest myself. Sister Jiu, please have faith in me."
Gu Jiu laughed, "Then I'll go back to the palace first. The child can't be left alone. If the fever recurs, remember to follow my instructions to reduce the fever. Take three doses of medicine a day, it's better to take less than more."
Gu Mei wrote them down one by one.
She personally escorted Gu Jiu to the second gate, and only after she saw her get on the carriage did she turn around and go to the main courtyard to see the old lady.
…
Gu Jiu has confidence in Gu Mei.
Gu Mei is the eldest daughter carefully nurtured by the Marquis's family. She is good at handling affairs of state and is well-rounded.
However, in the past, I suffered because I tried to do everything too well, but it made me suffer.
Now that she has experienced Niu Niu's fever, Sister Mei has learned a lesson and will probably put away her tact and show her edge.
Gu Jiu returned to the palace in a carriage, and Xiao Cui told her, "Miss Chen Min is here, and she is visiting the princess."
"Sister Chen hasn't come to visit for a long time. Why is she here suddenly today when it's not a festival? Could something have happened to Princess Huyang?"
"I didn't find out. Madam, are you going to Chunhe Hall?"
"Wait a minute. Let me wash up and change first."
After tidying himself up, Gu Jiu came to Chunhe Hall to pay his respects.
Before I even entered the door, I heard Chen Min crying.
She hurried into the hall, "Why are you crying, Sister Chen Min? Did someone bully you?"
Pei's face was stern and she looked furious. "The eldest daughter-in-law has arrived just in time. Go tell Zhao'er to go to the Princess's Mansion and take a look. Princess Huyang is so outrageous that she actually allowed outsiders to bully her own daughter."
Where did this come from?
Chen Min wiped her tears and said nothing.
Only after a maid explained to Gu Jiu did she understand the whole story.
It turned out that Princess Huyang had not changed her old habit and kept two more lovers.
But this time, Huyang learned his lesson and stopped getting entangled with the children of aristocratic families. He raised two good citizens, Zuo Erlang and Zuo Sanlang, who were both handsome, strong and capable of serving others.
Still two brothers.
These two men, relying on the favor of Princess Huyang, act as if they are the male masters of the Princess's Mansion.
The Zuo family also prospered.
One day, Zuo Erlang's nephew came to the princess's mansion. He was probably pretending to be stupid, or maybe he was really stupid. He dared to speak rudely and flirt with Chen Min.
Chen Min went to Huyang to complain.
At first, Hu Yang was filled with righteous indignation and said he wanted to vent his anger for Chen Min.
A few hours later, Princess Huyang changed her attitude and scolded Chen Min for being nosy. She wanted to make a big fuss about even the smallest things and make them known to everyone.
Chen Lu learned about this.
Chen Lu led his men to attack the Zuo family and beat Zuo Erlang's nephew until he was paralyzed on one side of his body.
Princess Huyang was furious and, to vent her anger on behalf of Zuo Erlang, she actually sent people to capture Chen Lu, saying that she wanted to torture him and beat him with a stick.
Chen Min was so anxious that he had to go to the palace to ask for help.
Gu Jiu frowned. If what happened to Chen Min was true, Hu Yang must be out of his mind.
For a lover, she even beat her own son. Doesn't she care about her own daughter's reputation?
"Has this matter been reported to the prince?"
"The prince is not in the palace."
Gu Jiu took a deep breath and said to Pei: "Please ask your mother to send ten or twenty guards to my daughter-in-law. I will take care of this matter."
Pei frowned, "How can you, a woman, manage this? Call Zhao'er."
"Have you forgotten, Mother? The young master went to the military camp yesterday and won't be back until the next day off."
Pei really forgot about this.
After Liu Zhao came back, he rested in the palace for almost a month, and she had forgotten that Liu Zhao had been carrying out his duties in the military camp.
Pei asked, "How are you going to handle this?"
Gu Jiu said, "There's no need for my daughter-in-law to come forward in person. Divide the guards into two groups. One group will go to the Chen Mansion. If cousin Chen Lu hasn't been captured, they can protect Master Chen Lu. The other group will go to the Princess's Mansion. If Chen Lu is captured there, they can directly rescue him and send him back to the Prince's Mansion."
Pei frowned, "Will this work? Ten or so people can snatch the person away from the guards of the Princess's Mansion."
"My daughter-in-law is sure that the guards of the Princess's Mansion won't dare to fight to the death with the guards of the Prince's Mansion, and they might even let them go."
oh?
Pei thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you thirty guards. Take Chen Lu back to Prince Fang's mansion immediately. Hu Yang is truly outrageous. After only a few months of peace, she's causing so much trouble again. I think she needs a lesson."
Gu Jiu called Song Zheng and Bai Zhong.
"You two will lead your troops to the Princess's Mansion and the Chen Mansion respectively. Do you know what to do?"
"Don't worry, Madam. I will never embarrass you."
"Do your job well and you'll be rewarded later."
The two men received the order and led the team out of the palace.
Chen Min walked up to Gu Jiu and said, "Thank you, cousin."
"You're welcome, sister Min. You've been wronged."
Chen Min shook her head. "I'm not feeling wronged. I'm just worried about my brother. Mother is furious and might actually order him to be beaten. He's suffering this misfortune because of me."
Gu Jiu comforted her, "Don't blame yourself. This matter was clearly handled unfairly by Princess Huyang."
Chen Min bit her lip, her expression gloomy.
Since the death of Prince Consort Chen, Princess Huyang has been in a state of letting herself go, except for the initial month of panic.
Because of keeping a lover, she was fined for three years of her title and salary, and her princess's mansion was taken back by the Shaofu, and was only worth 60,000 taels, and she didn't pocket a penny.
This series of lessons only made Princess Huyang more restrained, but it did not stop her desire for men.
There are all kinds of ways to play with a mistress.
The reason why she wanted to deal with Chen Lu was because Chen Lu despised her, which made Hu Yang very angry.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the two brothers Zuo Erlang and Zuo Sanlang worked hard to serve her and try their best to please her.
While the three of them were having a ridiculous time in the house, a servant outside the door said anxiously, "Princess, it's bad. The palace has sent people to kidnap the young master."
"What?"
Princess Huyang pushed the two brothers of the Zuo family aside and opened the door in her outer robe. "What's going on?"
"Just now, more than a dozen guards from the palace rushed into the princess's residence and took the young master away. They said they were acting on orders."
"Is he a rebel? How dare he come to my princess's residence and snatch my son. Help me change my clothes. I will go to the prince's palace to ask for an explanation."
Take the opportunity to blackmail the palace and get some money to spend.
Chen Lu was sent back to the palace. Seeing that Chen Lu was fine, Pei was relieved.
She ordered her servants to settle the two siblings of the Chen family, and at the same time sent someone to urge King Ning.
The situation has become so serious. Based on her understanding of Hu Yang, it won’t be long before Hu Yang brings his men to attack the palace.
Pei didn't want to deal with Huyang and only wanted Prince Ning to deal with the unruly and unreasonable Huyang.
Gu Jiu led his men to settle Chen Min and his sister down, and then a servant came to report, "Madam, Princess Huyang has just entered the palace."
Chen Lu stood up and said, "I'm going to see her. I want to ask her if she has any conscience. I even suspect that she was the one who reported my father's death. Now that my father is dead, she can openly keep a lover."
Chen Min pulled Chen Lu aside, "Brother, don't go. You're no match for Mother. A single word of filial piety can keep you from turning over. Let your uncle and aunt handle this matter, okay?"
"Sister Min is right. Princess Huyang is your mother after all. Chen Lu, don't be impulsive. Sit here patiently and wait for news. I'll go over and take a look for you first."
"Thank you for your hard work, cousin." Chen Min said gratefully.
Gu Jiu comforted him, "Don't worry, this little thing can be solved quickly."
Chen Min nodded.
Prince Ning has not returned home yet.
Princess Huyang rushed directly to Chunhe Hall to cause trouble for the Pei family.
Pei was annoyed. "You beat your own son for your lover, and you think you're right."
Hu Yang chuckled twice, "I'm beating my own son, why is my sister-in-law meddling in my business?"
"Don't forget, I'm Chen Lu's aunt. How can I stand by and watch him suffer such an undeserved disaster? Also, you did such a ridiculous thing, and I haven't scolded you yet."
Hu Yang was furious. "When I lived in the prince's palace, my sister-in-law interfered in my affairs, and I tolerated it. Now I live in my own princess's mansion, and you have no right to control how I live. My sister-in-law's hands are a bit too long. Be careful, I will cut off your hands with a knife."
Pei was furious, "How dare you!"
Princess Huyang sneered, "If my sister-in-law interferes with my affairs again, do you think I dare?"
"Okay, okay, this princess can't control you now. When the prince comes back, I will ask him to deal with you."
"I'm also going to file a complaint with my brother, asking him to take better care of you and not to overreach, as this will only make you look bad."
Pei was so angry that she wanted to slap Hu Yang in the face to teach her a lesson.
Fortunately, Prince Ning came back, which prevented the two sisters-in-law from fighting directly.
Prince Ning heard the whole story as soon as he entered the room.
He came to Chunhetang angrily.
When Hu Yang met him, he started to complain, "Brother Wang, please control my sister-in-law. She is really going too far. She even wants to interfere in my internal affairs. It's really too much."
Prince Ning said with a stern face, "Huyang, are you itching for trouble?"
Princess Huyang was very aggrieved. "Brother, why did you say that to me? It was clearly my sister-in-law who was overreacting. Why didn't you scold her?"
"The princess did a great job today, why would I scold her? But you, do you deserve to be punished?"
The Princess of Huyang burst into tears, "Brother Wang, just send someone to kill me. You all can't bear to see me suffer."
Pei sneered, "You don't want to find a decent man, but you keep two lovers by your side. If you go out and ask around, you'll find that you've become the laughing stock of the capital."
"Whoever dares to laugh at me will not be spared by me." Hu Yang wiped away her tears and said viciously.
Prince Ning glared at him, "I am laughing at you too. Are you going to punish me too?"
Hu Yang shook his head aggrievedly, "Brother Wang, please make the decision for me."
Prince Ning angrily said, "If I don't want the two brothers of the Zuo family to be beheaded, you'd better restrain yourself. You dared to let outsiders bully my niece and nephew? Do you think I'm dead? If you do it again, no more nonsense. I will personally order the slaughter of every last one of the Zuo family. And everyone around you will be wiped out as well."
Princess Huyang shuddered, "Brother, why don't you get rid of me too?"
"If you were not my biological sister, I wouldn't care about your life or death. I would have told you to get out of here as soon as possible."
Pei took the opportunity to interject, "It's really worrying that Minmin is staying with Huyang. Your Majesty, why not let Minmin live in the palace? It's just a matter of adding another pair of chopsticks."
Prince Ning deeply agreed with this.
Hu Yang jumped up and pointed at Pei. "You are so mean, Pei! You even want to steal my daughter. Brother Wang, you saw it with your own eyes. My sister-in-law is so vicious."
Pei rolled her eyes.
Prince Ning angrily scolded Hu Yang, "Shut up. Chen Min is with you, and I'm afraid you'll harm her. From now on, Chen Min will live in the palace. Someone, go to the Princess's Mansion and move all of Chen Min's belongings to the palace. Clear them out."
The eunuch received the order and quickly sent someone to help Chen Min move.
Seeing this, Princess Huyang burst into tears, "Brother Wang, you might as well kill me. I want to go to the palace to see my mother and file a complaint."
Prince Ning chuckled coldly, "Go ahead, I won't stop you. It's a good opportunity for my father to see you and punish you once more."
Hu Yang was stunned, tears falling one by one.
vomit!
Huyang suddenly vomited!
