Chapter 467 I offer incense to Wen Zhao

When Princess Xi and the eldest princess returned, they went straight to the palace.

Ye Qingyou heard this gossip from Nanny Hua, who is still observing mourning in the Empress Dowager's palace and has not left yet.

"There's no smoke without fire. Coming back suddenly at this critical moment may not be that simple." Nanny Chang thought of the mother and daughter and became particularly alert.

"According to the rules, they should have returned long ago after the empress dowager passed away. They shouldn't have come back to pay tribute after a hundred days." Ye Qingyou was not surprised at all.

Emperor Liang allowed them to come back now, I'm afraid it's not that simple. But the thought only passed through Ye Qingyou's mind, and he didn't think about it carefully.

Anyway, the trouble will come sooner or later and there is no way to escape it.

Nanny Chang couldn't help but suggest, "How about you stay sick for a few days and avoid this trouble?"

“If they are targeting me, and the higher-ups are willing to take a look, there is no way I can escape unless I am dead and lying in the coffin.” Ye Qingyou knew too well about Princess Xi’s madness. Although Yin Wenzhao has turned into a ghost, his influence on her will last a lifetime.

Chuntang immediately spat at the side, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't say such depressing words."

"Okay, let's just wait." Ye Qingyou drooled again when he saw the snacks on the table, but before he could pick them up and put them into his mouth, they were snatched away by Doctor Lu.

"You haven't been feeling well lately, so eat less sweets." He handed the snack to Chuntang directly, "You can't eat sweets in these seven days, so eat something lighter."

Chuntang stuck out her tongue. In fact, Doctor Lu had already given the order.

Seeing that Doctor Lu had not arrived yet, she secretly took some medicine. Unexpectedly, she could not escape the eyes of this miracle doctor and was discovered by him.

Ye Qingyou swallowed for a long time and had no choice but to obey.

After Dr. Lu examined her pulse, she fell into a doze on the recliner.

At this time, the eldest princess in the palace had already cried three times in front of the empress dowager, and then knelt before Emperor Liang.

Outsiders did not know what was said, but Emperor Liang allowed her to live in the palace, which was rare, and did not prohibit her from interacting with the families of other princes, marquises and court officials.

The situation is delicate at the moment, and each mansion is acting in accordance with Emperor Liang's attitude.

But as the 100th day since the death of the Queen Mother was approaching, the Princess did not have much contact with other palaces. She just took Princess Xi to a few households, sat for a while and had a cup of tea, and was very low-key.

The 100-day memorial is the day after tomorrow.

Not only Ye Qingyou, but even the old prince was informed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs that His Majesty would hold a grand ceremony that day and all members of the royal family had to attend.

"So this means that we have to go too?" Ye Qingyou carefully read the content of the post and then put it aside.

"Are you strong enough to do it? The princess's attire is very heavy. Fortunately, this is a memorial service, so you can't wear hairpins, gold hairpins, or phoenix crowns. But you have to hold on for two hours. Can your waist hold on?" Nanny Chang felt a little worried, because Ye Qingyou's five-month-old belly was the size of an ordinary pregnant woman's six and a half months' belly.

Doctor Lu asked her to control her sweet intake because he was afraid that the baby would be too big and difficult to deliver, which would put both mother and child in danger.

Ye Qingyou sighed, "This is obviously a deliberate attempt to pick a fight. How can I not go given the current situation?"

"But you have given me the food and the medicine, are you still not going to give in?" Chuntang was very indignant and felt that Emperor Liang was too cruel.

Ye Qingyou sneered, "Just because your majesty won't do anything doesn't mean others won't... Let Doctor Lu prepare a back support for me. It's true that I shouldn't be absent from the Queen Mother's funeral." Although Emperor Liang ordered the arrest of Yuwen Yan, he did not convict him, nor did he deprive him of his prince title, and he did not implicate Ye Qingyou.

Therefore, people in the capital were ambiguous towards the Four Princes' Palaces. After all, they couldn't figure out Emperor Liang's mind, and no one wanted to step out at this time.

"I'll go and tell Doctor Lu right away..." Chuntang was more cautious. When she went to see Doctor Lu, she also went to the outer courtyard and told Pan Sisheng about the matter.

Pan Sisheng actually already knew about this, and he was negotiating with the old prince, hoping that Eunuch Zhong would follow Ye Qingyou.

"They are all female relatives. As a man, I cannot go with them. I can only ask Eunuch Zhong to accompany them. Although Nanny Chang is very capable, she is only one person after all."

"Why don't you switch with Qingyou and let Nanny Chang accompany you? Or I can let Uncle Weng accompany you for a day, and I can just take Chen Liu'er with me, right?"

During the 100-day memorial service, men and women sit separately.

This is not directed at Ye Qingyou, but is a rule that has been in place for thousands of years.

If it were business as usual, it would be fine. But now that the eldest princess and Princess Xi have returned, Pan Sisheng feels that he has nothing good to hide.

The old prince snorted coldly and looked at Eunuch Zhong, "Listen, is what he said a human being?" His own father had risked everything for a woman who would never marry him? !
Eunuch Zhong laughed awkwardly, "Anyway, I listen to my masters. I will follow whoever you tell me to follow."

"What's the matter? Even you are starting to favor that girl and don't want an old man like me?" The old prince couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.

Eunuch Zhong said, "You should be grateful for what you have received. The young master's medicinal food has not only spoiled your appetite, but I, the old servant, have also enjoyed it, right?"

"And the sachet he specially prepared for me is very good. My long-standing illness is no longer a problem. I can't help but be grateful!"

He was a eunuch. When he was castrated at a young age, it was like picking up a life from a pile of dead bodies, so naturally he would have many minor physical problems.

Eunuch Zhong was afraid of having an unpleasant smell on his body, so he washed seven or eight times a day.

But after washing for too long, the skin has become damaged.

Ye Qingyou helped him mix some incense to drive away the smell and help him sleep, especially the incense for clothes, which was exactly what Eunuch Zhong wanted.

The old prince really admired Ye Qingyou for this. She was the fourth emperor's consort after all, but she could always quickly get along with the servants.

"Don't show up, just watch secretly. After all, this is the palace." The old prince warned.

Eunuch Zhong accepted the order, and Pan Sisheng was very happy. When he got the news, he went to the backyard to find Ye Qingyou to ask for favor. This was a big deal, and he had already thought about what kind of item would be more suitable.

At this time, Princess Xi also received the news sent by the servants, "Are you sure Ye Qingyou will come on that day?"

"It should be possible, because the Fourth Princess did not refuse, nor did she find any excuses to decline." The servant reported.

Princess Xi took a deep breath and said, "Very good, very good."

"Why are you still fighting with her today? Xi'er, this matter has passed. Why don't we return to the capital and start over?" The eldest princess came in from outside and heard the conversation between Princess Xi and the servants.

Princess Xi looked at the eldest princess, her eyes sparkling and moist, "Mother, I also want to go and burn incense for Wen Zhao."
