Chapter 356 She must have made a big mistake!

Wei Shiqing smiled and said, "My son has been busy these days, so he didn't pay much attention to it. However, when Yu Yonghuai went to the Ministry of War to report, my son happened to be there to do some work, and he glanced at him from a distance..."

Empress Nie immediately asked excitedly: "How is young General Yu doing?"

Wei Shiqing recalled: "He seems to be quite good-looking. He is tall and straight, taller than his son, and looks very heroic. Although he is strong, he is not too bulky..."

Empress Nie couldn't help but picture Yu Yonghuai in her mind following Wei Shiqing's description, and couldn't help being absent-minded: "He sounds like a good boy... Ah Yan didn't like to talk much before he left the palace, and I don't know how they get along in daily life. Ah Yan wouldn't make young General Yu angry and run away, right?"

Wei Shiqing recalled that before his brother left the palace, the little guy silently climbed into the carriage driven by Qin Gongfeng, and finally leaned on the window, with red eyes and hoarse voice, and told him, "Brother, please don't see me off."

Wei Shiqing's heart was like a piece of sunken wood soaked in water, slowly oozing out yellow water, bitterness slowly coming out. He silently decided in his heart to let the people from the Ministry of Works repair Yu Yonghuai's house first. Although his father also said that it was okay to exceed the rules, it was better to avoid such things.

Empress Nie suddenly remembered something, and her eyes lit up: "Oh, you said that the Yu family followed General Yu from the countryside to the capital to take up their posts. There must be someone missing in the inner house who knows the inner house of the capital well, right?"

Queen Nie had only just started talking when Wei Shiqing immediately guessed what Queen Nie was going to do.

Wei Shiqing shook his head and said, "Mother, giving a bigger house can be considered a reward for military merit. If you send someone there, I'm afraid that within a day, all the dignitaries in the capital will know that something is wrong with the Yu family. I don't think my second brother would want to see this."

Queen Nie felt a little lost for a moment.

Ayan was the son she and Emperor Jiazheng owed the most, and she also wanted to do something for Ayan.

Wei Shiqing couldn't bear to see the obvious disappointment on his mother's face. After thinking for a while, he suggested in a gentle voice: "Mother, when General Yu gets the title, I think he will ask his mother or grandmother for an imperial decree. When the time comes, remember to remind father and let him warn the people below not to block the imperial decree for General Yu's female relatives... In this way, when you summon the ladies of the inner and outer court to the palace for an audience in the future, you can naturally see the female relatives of the Yu family. At that time, you can appropriately show your love for the female relatives of the Yu family, and that will be enough."

Queen Nie showed a look of surprise on her face: "Yes, Ah Qing is still quick-witted."

As the two were talking, a figure in red rushed in, running very fast, as if someone was catching him from behind: "Mother! I heard that the Crown Prince is here?"

When Queen Nie heard the voice, she looked as if she had a headache.

Wei Shiqing laughed a little: "Ayou, you are almost twelve years old, can't you be more stable?"

The dashing young boy in red stopped in his tracks and smiled brightly at Wei Shiqing: "Brother! Didn't you say you would take me out of the palace to go horse racing when you were free in a couple of days?"

Queen Nie had a headache and said, "Ayou, come here, I was looking for you."

As soon as Wei Shiyou saw Queen Nie's expression, he felt something was wrong. He was about to slip away, but Wei Shiqing grabbed the back of his collar and threw him into Queen Nie's arms.

Queen Nie twisted Wei Shiyou's ear and said, "Yesterday, Concubine Bai came to complain that you scared your sixth brother, saying that a snake was crawling into his trousers and legs, and he jumped into the pond because of the fear. Is that true or not?"

Wei Shiyou coughed, his eyes wandering: "Mother, you also said that it was my sixth brother who jumped into the pool by himself..."

"Wei Shiyou!" Queen Nie called out Wei Shiyou's full name with a stern face.

Probably all children would be startled when hearing their parents call them by their full names.

Wei Shiyou finally calmed down: "Who told my sixth brother that my second brother is a disaster..."

The helpless expressions on Empress Nie and Wei Shiqing's faces changed instantly after hearing these words.

Wei Shiyou was still complaining with his head down, not noticing that his loving mother and gentle brother had already looked very unhappy: "...Sixth brother too, he dared to say that about second brother, I didn't beat him or scold him, I just scared him a little, that was good enough! He jumped into the pool by himself, do you blame me?"

Queen Nie stretched out her hand and placed it on Wei Shiyou's shoulder: "Ayou, you should just beat up your sixth brother!"

The young boy in red let out an "ah" and raised his head in confusion.

"Your second brother did it for Daxia..." Empress Nie said only this and could not bear to say anything more. She changed the subject, "...When your second brother left the palace, your sixth brother was not yet born. How could he know anything? Someone must have gossiped about it in front of your sixth brother. Concubine Bai was not strict enough to protect her, and she had the nerve to report it to me!"

Wei Shiqing sneered: "Speaking of which, not long ago, my father received a secret letter from the retired scholar Liu, and then reprimanded Bai Fei's mother's family, the Linyang Marquis Mansion. At this time, Bai Fei still dared to do this, who gave her the courage!"

Empress Nie remembered something, and a thin layer of frost appeared on her face. She warned Wei Shiqing: "Don't interfere in the affairs of the concubines in the harem. Leave this matter to me. You just need to take care of General Yu."

Wei Shiqing moved his lips, but finally bowed: "Yes, mother, I understand."

Before Wei Shiqing left, out of brotherly love, he still took his younger brother away.

——It was obvious that their mother was going to cause trouble for someone. If this silly brother stayed here any longer, he would probably get into trouble as well.

The two sons left the side hall. The sunlight shone obliquely through the window, hiding half of Empress Nie's face in shadow.

Queen Nie spoke in a calm voice as she called the chief palace maid, Mochun, over.

"Go, call Concubine Bai here, and have her kneel before the gate of this palace and reflect on her mistakes."

Mochun took the order and left.

Until she knelt on the cold stone slabs outside Kunning Palace, Concubine Bai still hadn't figured out what she had done wrong.

Could it be that it was because she and the Queen had sued the Third Prince for bullying her son, A Sheng? !

Your Majesty, you have gone too far!

Concubine Bai felt extremely aggrieved. In the evening, when Emperor Jiazheng finished his official business and came to have dinner with Empress Nie, he fainted on the stone slab.

Emperor Jiazheng learned from the palace that Concubine Bai was punished by the Empress to kneel here, and was a little surprised: "The Empress has always been good-tempered. Concubine Bai made the Empress so angry. She must have made a big mistake!"

Emperor Jiazheng flicked his sleeves and said, "Send Concubine Bai back to her palace, and let her rest well for the night. Then come and kneel in front of the Empress's palace tomorrow!"

Bai Fei's personal maids were all dumbfounded.

At this time, outside the palace, the Yu family received an urgent message sent by Lao Mao, saying that Old Master Liu had fainted due to being angered by the eldest master of the Liu family, and they begged Grandma Da Xi and Xing Xing to come and save him!
