There was a joy in the central palace, and the happiest people were Emperor Beijin and the Ruan family. Who would have thought that Empress Ruan, who was almost forty years old, could still be able to return a clam and be pregnant with the imperial heir?

At first, Concubine Liu was just worried that the Ruan family would stand on the same line as Xiao Zhan to deal with the Liu family. How could he have thought that the Central Palace was pregnant?

The Liu family was completely confused.

"My mother, my son will never cause trouble for her mother in the future. Even if she suffers grievances, it's nothing. As long as my mother takes good care of her health and gives birth to the little prince smoothly, my son will never dare to contradict Concubine Liu in the future."

Princess Duanmin patted her chest, feeling a little scared. When Concubine Liu heard this, her eyelids were twitching violently. This girl deliberately disliked her and deliberately put eye drops in front of Emperor Bei Jin.

"Emperor, I'm..."

"Your Majesty, Duanmin is my daughter. Whoever bullies Duanmin is deliberately making trouble with me. Duanmin is such a miserable child. If it weren't for Duanmin, I wouldn't have been today."

Empress Ruan interrupted Concubine Liu in time. Concubine Liu clenched her fists tightly, and her eyelids were twitching violently.

"Mother, Concubine Qin has always been unforgivable, outspoken, but not bad-hearted. Lord Duanmin has a lot of it, and Concubine Qin has received the punishment he deserves, and he will never dare to commit it again in the future."

Princess Xinyang stepped forward with her belly and smiled and held Princess Duan Min's hand, "All the past has passed. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, I, the princess, will never give up."

Concubine Liu and his daughter sang together, but they didn't want Emperor Beijin to make the decision on Princess Duanmin. It would be enough to punish Guiren Qin.

Princess Duanmin lowered her eyes, "Thank you for your understanding. My son is just worried about her mother. The queen of the harem has not been concerned about everything in the harem for ten years. The little noble Qin dares to embarrass her mother in public. How many people in the palace know that the majesty of the queen of the central palace is still known."

Princess Xinyang's eyelids twitched and said embarrassedly, "My mother has always been in poor health. Everything in the six palaces is busy. Now that the mother is pregnant again, we should be polite."

Queen Ruan curled her lips and smiled. Seeing that Concubine Liu and his daughter refused to delegate power, she sneered in her heart, rubbed her eyebrows and waved at Princess Duan Min, "You are not young anymore. I remember that when Xinyang got married, she also studied accounting for a while. The emperor, the six palaces have many things to do, and Concubine Liu will inevitably have some inadequate care. I want Duan Min to learn to follow, which can be considered as sharing one or two for Concubine Liu."

Concubine Liu's face changed slightly. Isn't this just a disguised need to separate power?

"It's up to the Queen." Emperor Beijin let go and gave Princess Duanmin the right to assist in the six palaces. Concubine Liu's breathing was tightly frowning. However, Emperor Beijin had already spoken and was not easy to refuse, so he had to nod and agreed, "Thank you, the Queen, for sharing my worries, I will definitely do my best to teach the princess."

Emperor Beijin was still immersed in joy, and he ignored Concubine Liu's little emotions and protected Queen Ruan back to the palace to rest.

The ladies saw the argument all morning and sighed inwardly that the palace was about to change.

Princess Duanmin put her hands on the back of Wei Gui's hand and walked slowly forward. Her palms were covered with sweat. She had never been so tough before, and she had never spoken loudly beside Concubine Liu, let alone accusations like today.

"Xiao Qi, I did it just now."

Wei Jiang lowered his head and smiled, "The eldest princess did a good job just now. You are the legitimate princess, with a noble status and support from the queen. Now you are still the lucky star of the Ruan family. Even if you stand on the same line as the queen, the queen will not blame you for anything the eldest princess does."

Not only will he not blame him, but he will also be grateful to Princess Duan Min. Today he just took the opportunity to give Concubine Liu a warning, and the power of the harem will sooner or later return to the central palace.

Princess Duanmin smiled.

"Long search!"

A shout came from behind, Princess Duanmin stopped and looked back at Princess Xinyang who was rushing towards him angrily.

"Don't be afraid of your eldest princess. Your status is higher than her. No matter what Princess Xinyang says, don't be angry." Wei Shin's body raised.

Princess Duanmin nodded gently and straightened her back.

"Bang!"

Princess Xinyang stepped forward and slapped Princess Duanmin hard on the cheek. Five bright red slap marks appeared on Princess Duanmin's fair and jade-like little face. Princess Duanmin was stunned and clenched her fingertips.

"Bang!"

Wei Jing stepped forward and slapped Princess Xinyang without hesitation. The force was not light. Princess Xinyang shook her body and took a few steps back. She almost couldn't stand firm. She stared at Wei Jing with her hideous eyes and covered her face with one hand, "Bitch, you dare to hit me!"

"Rareless, the princess openly beat the eldest princess in the palace, but he committed a serious crime!" Wei Jing shouted coldly.

"You!" Princess Xinyang trembled all over her body in anger, and pointed at Wei Jing, "You guys catch this slut for me!"

Princess Duanmin reached out and grabbed Wei Ji with a cold face, "I see who dares!"

Several maids were stunned for a moment, hesitating and did not dare to step forward. Princess Xinyang stared at Princess Duan Min fiercely, "Don't think that if you cling to the central palace, you can do whatever you want. It's not just a torn shoe that has been discarded. What's the pride? Sooner or later, I'll make you kneel in front of me and beg for mercy!"

Princess Duanmin endured it again and again, and couldn't bear it anymore. She turned her head and left. She looked up and was stunned. She actually saw Princess Dingguo walking towards this side. Her feet were soft and she almost couldn't stand firm. Wei Jing held Princess Duanmin's arm.

"Is the eldest princess okay?"

Princess Duanmin was almost unable to hold on and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in. How could she meet him in such a mess?

The prince of Dingguo looked here, his eyes were calm. He glanced at Princess Xinyang first, frowned slightly, and quickly shifted his eyes and landed on Princess Duanmin on one side.

"Crown Prince!"

As if she saw her backer, Princess Xinyang broke free from the maid's support and walked towards the Marquis of Dingguo with red eyes. Tears came as soon as she said that she was so aggrieved that she exposed the slap marks on her face. She held her lower abdomen with one hand, went straight to the arms of Marquis of Dingguo, and rubbed her head.

"Princess." The princess of Dingguo Hou was still a little unnatural, so he stepped back. Princess Xinyang stuck it up again. The princess of Dingguo Hou stood stiffly and did not move. "What's wrong with the princess?"

"If the prince doesn't come again, I'm afraid I will never see us two again. I've never suffered this humiliation today when I grew up..."

Princess Duan Min's arms were trembling, and she turned sideways, trying not to see them. The palace maids around Princess Xinyang said what had just happened.

Wei Jing deliberately remained silent, on the one hand, hoping that Princess Duanmin would see the attitude of Prince of Dingguo and give up as soon as possible.

"The eldest princess..." The princess of Dingguo put one hand on Princess Xinyang's shoulder, protected the person in her arms, and looked at Princess Duanmin with a little angrily, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know where the princess offended the eldest princess, but the eldest princess actually taught the princess a lesson in public?"

Princess Duanmin pinched her fingertips into her palms and took a deep breath, "I've beaten them, so what else do I need to ask? If the prince feels distressed, just go to the front of my father to complain."

"You!" The Prince of Dingguo Hou was choked. The eldest princess Duanmin in his memory was gentle, virtuous, dignified and elegant, and was a kind and understanding girl.

How could it become like this overnight?

"Crimin, see it. Duanmin relies on the power of the central palace to bully me on purpose." Princess Xinyang crouched in the arms of Prince of Dingguo like a little woman. Her tone could be soft, covering her abdomen with one hand, "Criminal, I feel uncomfortable..."

The Prince of Dingguo Hou bent down and hugged Princess Xinyang and hurriedly left. Princess Xinyang leaned on the arm of the Princess Dingguo Hou and showed a smug smile in the direction of Princess Duanmin.

When the man walked away, Princess Duanmin looked up at the sky and forced the tears in her eyes back. After standing for a while, it seemed that she had a thousand pounds under her feet and could not take a step again.

"Is the eldest princess sad?"

Princess Duanmin nodded first, then shook her head, "I was blind and I looked at him. Forget it, it was a dream that was over."

"Did the eldest princess be determined to forget the prince?"

"Of course!" Princess Duan Min nodded and raised her chin, "He is not worthy of this princess, and I disdain the things Xinyang has used!"

Looking at the relief in Princess Duanmin's eyes, Wei Jing smiled and touched the slap marks on her face with her fingertips, "Does it hurt?"

"pain."

"Go back to the palace to apply medicine."

"Um!"

The next day, Xiao Zhan entered the palace and saw the slap marks on Princess Duanmin's face at a glance, and frowned. Princess Duanmin immediately explained what happened yesterday.

"It's me that's useless, thanks to Xiaoqi."

Xiao Zhan was angry and distressed, "She couldn't protect you for the rest of her life. There are some roads that you still need to walk forward step by step by step."

Princess Duanmin obediently listened to Xiao Zhan’s scolding, without saying a word. Wei Shi couldn’t stand it anymore, “The Princess has done a good job.”

Xiao Zhan shook his head helplessly and entered the palace every few days, for fear that the two of them would suffer any grievances in the palace.

"Don't worry, second brother, I will definitely protect Xiaoqi and will never let Xiaoqi get hurt!" Princess Duanmin raised three fingers and swore.

After all, I loved Princess Duanmin and couldn't bear to blame her. I carefully reminded the two of them, and did not stay for a long time and left soon.

...

After hearing about yesterday, Empress Ruan raised her eyebrows, "Xinyang hit you?"

"Don't worry, my mother, I slapped me back. My son was there yesterday. My son was not good at taking action again, and my son did not suffer any loss."

After saying this, Queen Ruan's brows eased. She knew that Princess Duan Min was weak and did not fight or rob. She was an honest girl with no scruples, not very good at heart, was well-behaved, gentle and easy to control. She was another princess, and Queen Ruan agreed to adopt her.

But on the one hand, since Princess Duanmin is already the legitimate princess, her temperament needs to be changed. She cannot be bullied like before, and she is lost by Feng Qigong's face.

"You don't have to bear this matter. Xinyang bullied you a lot before he left the house. Now he is like this, a pair of children raised by Concubine Liu!"

"The mother's queen is calm, but the son's minister is not good at it."

Queen Ruan sighed, "Forget it, it's not your fault for this. You did a great job. You didn't lose the majesty of the eldest princess yesterday. This should be the same in the future. You don't have to pay any attention to anything if you don't commit any trouble. Only when you take the airs of the eldest princess will respect you."

"Yes, my son is obeying the teachings of my mother."

"From today on, you will go to Concubine Liu to learn cooking in the harem, which will be beneficial to you in the future. If you don't understand anything, just ask Aunt Mei."

It is fake to let Princess Duan Min assist in the Six Palaces, and the most important thing is to decentralize power. On the other hand, it is to supervise Concubine Liu and wait for an opportunity to act.

"Yes, my son understands."

"If there is nothing important, you can step down first today."

"My son is leaving!"

As soon as the person left, Aunt Mei handed her a cup of tea to Queen Ruan. Queen Ruan took a sip and put it down, "It seems that she is much smarter than before."

"I have a word I don't know whether to say or not."

"explain."

Aunt Mei said, "I look at the princess's side as if someone is giving advice."

"You don't need to tell me about this. I know that Duanmin has a brother. By the way, has that palace maid been found?" Queen Ruan tried her best to find Wei Shi, and was almost about to go through the entire palace. She couldn't find anyone. She probably sent it out of the palace.

"I look at the eldest princess with a palace maid named Xiaoqi next to her. Although I don't speak quietly, I feel that I am not an ordinary palace maid."

After staying in the palace for decades, Aunt Mei has seen her for the rest of her life, and she still has this vision. Xiao Qi is not very good-looking, but her eyes are surprisingly dazzling.
