Everyone in the capital knows that the Emperor is fond of the Empress. If one can win the Empress's favor, then a few words of encouragement from her will bring many benefits.
Unfortunately, Yunrong listened to many kind words and accepted their compliments and "good intentions," but she just didn't become abnormal, making it hard to figure out what she was thinking.
They were angry but there was nothing they could do; after all, Yunrong was the Empress, and they could only swallow their anger.
Because of An'an's difficult life, Yunrong cherishes her youngest son very much. At this time, Bobo is...
A young eunuch beside him would often tell him about how Yunrong and An'an got along.
One day, Bobo suddenly overheard two palace maids talking in her courtyard.
"Did you know? I heard that the Second Prince was born on the dragon bed in the Qianqing Palace."
"I've heard about it. That's the imperial bed! And did you know that the Emperor and Empress dote on the Second Prince even more than they dote on our master? It's just a pity for our master; I wonder what he would think if he knew."
"What can one think? Since the Second Prince was born on the dragon bed, he was destined to be extraordinary. Since ancient times, no one has ever been born on the dragon bed. I think this matter can be recorded in the annals of history."
"That's right. When the Second Prince grows up and finds out about this, will he be able to accept it? With the Emperor and Empress's favor, it's hard to say what will happen to our master then."
"I really hope..."
Before the two women could finish speaking, Bobo suddenly appeared in front of them. He glanced at them and then ordered the servant beside him, "Gag these two palace maids, tie them up, and take them to the courtyard. Then gather everyone in the courtyard."
"Yes, Master."
Then Bobo ordered that the two gossiping palace maids be flogged thirty times in public, regardless of whether they lived or died.
The two palace maids were flogged thirty times and were practically dead. Bobo looked at everyone and said, "No one is allowed to gossip in the master's courtyard. If the master finds out, these two will suffer the same fate as those who gossip in the future."
Upon hearing this, even one of Bobo's personal servants turned pale.
Then they all knelt down on the ground with a clatter, saying, "Your servant obeys."
"Get up, everyone, and go about your own business."
Bobo's actions were not meant to be kept secret from anyone, so both Yinzhen and Yunrong knew about them. However, they knew that Bobo was punished with a cane because of gossip from palace maids, but they did not know the specific reason.
