Chapter 194
He looked at her broken forehead, the wound had already scabbed and fallen off, and she had been taking care of it carefully in recent days, and it had fully recovered without leaving any scars.

He opened his lips and said: "After today, you can enter and leave the Prince's Mansion freely."

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli couldn't help jumping for joy, before she had time to say anything, Beigong Tengxiao turned and left.

The corners of her raised lips fell slowly, she frowned slightly and said, "Then... will you come to Chunli Hall again tomorrow?"

Beigong Tengxiao paused slightly, and said, "No."

As the words fell, Chu Jiaoli's heart couldn't help feeling empty for a while, and finally...is it over?
When Beigong Tengxiao had disappeared, Chu Jiaoli tediously flipped through the house rules on the table and pouted lightly.

After a while, Beigong Tengxiao returned to Biluo Palace.

He sat back at the desk and began to review the memorial. Jingyue beside him frowned slightly and said, "Your Highness, have you noticed that the side concubine... seems to like you?"

Beigong Tengxiao said indifferently: "I know."

Hearing this, Jing Yue was full of surprise, and said, "So Your Highness knows..."

Beigong Tengxiao glanced at him and said, "Even a fool can see it."

Jingyue was a little puzzled and said: "Then why does Your Highness... want to be so close to her?"

Beigong Tengxiao narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, raised the corners of his lips coldly, and said, "Sound east, strike west."

In the afternoon, Chun left the hall.

Linglong stepped in from outside the house and said: "My Lady, the Empress Dowager in the palace is calling you to enter the palace."

Chu Jiaoli was stunned for a moment, and said, "This...so sudden?"

Linglong nodded and said: "Not only you, but also the crown prince and the second prince concubine."

The queen mother is the most powerful woman in the palace, right?I don't know if she can talk well, but with Chu Jiaoli's carefree personality, if she makes a fool of herself in front of everyone and angers the Queen Mother, it will be a big shame.

After thinking about it, she swallowed nervously and said, "Linglong, change clothes and make up."

"Yes."

After half an hour.

Chu Jiaoli and Xiang Yini boarded the carriage together, both of them were dressed up.

Chu Jiaoli lowered her head, tightly clutching the skirt on her knees with both hands.

Xiang Yini raised the corners of her lips lightly, and said, "My sister, don't be nervous, the emperor's grandmother is an easy-going person, my sister just needs to be calm."

Hearing this, Chu Jiaoli showed a polite smile and said, "Is that so? If that's the case, I will feel much more at ease."

A smugness flashed across Xiang Yini's eyes, the queen mother is the most disciplined, she will definitely be punished for her unruly appearance!

The three of them entered the palace, with Xiang Yini as the leader, Xiang Yili behind, and finally Chu Jiaoli.

It was March in Yangchun, a hundred flowers were blooming in the imperial garden, and an old man in a yellow robe was sitting in the pavilion.

The old man is 70 years old, covered with silver hair combed into a neat bun, and his regular facial features have a strong sense of oppression.

Since Concubine Ling Gui was in charge of the Six Palaces ten years ago, the Empress Dowager has taken the initiative to relinquish the rights of the Lord of the Six Palaces, chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha every day, and no longer interferes in the harem.

What the old man pays most attention to is the rules. For 70 years, she has always had a rigid temperament, and no one has seen her smile.

A few days ago, she called Beigong Tengxiao and Beigong Qianling to chat for a while, but she mentioned that she wanted to see their female relatives in a while.

The three of them walked up to the Empress Dowager with their heads down, saluted respectfully, and said: "The concubine pays homage to the imperial grandmother, and the imperial grandmother is blessed and safe."

The Empress Dowager raised her hand and took a sip of her tea, and responded in a low and steady voice, "Get flat."

"Yes."

The three got up, Chu Jiaoli glanced at her quietly, and couldn't help swallowing, with such a rigid and mean face, Xiang Yini actually said she was easy-going?Can't see it at all?
The queen mother glanced at each of them, and nodded in approval: "Sure enough, all of them are handsome and worthy of the royal grandchildren of the Ai family." She took a fixed look at Chu Jiaoli, and said, "I heard about Zhongluo's Huanli before." The princess has a pair of different-colored pupils, Aijia is considered a monster, but looking at it now, it is not bad, looks pretty and beautiful, the color of these eyes is somewhat similar to Qianqiu, so Aijia can feel relieved."

Chu Jiaoli gritted her teeth secretly, was she praising her or scolding her?She showed a polite smile, and said: "Thank you for the compliment from the emperor's grandmother. The concubine will definitely abide by her duties and will not lose the face of His Royal Highness."

A trace of doubt flashed across Xiang Yini's eyes, when did this Zhonggong Huanli become so polite?This disappointed her a lot!
The Queen Mother nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Xiang Yini, and said, "Pin Sheng, how is your relationship with the Crown Prince recently?"

Xiang Yini smiled just right, and said: "Thanks to the care of the emperor's grandmother, Pin Sheng and His Highness have always gotten along very well, playing harmoniously."

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Oh? Then why did Ai's family hear that you always go to your mother's house these days?"

At the end of the sentence, Xiang Yini's smile froze slightly, and said: "Back to the emperor's grandmother, the relationship between the concubine and her mother's family is relatively good..."

The Queen Mother gave her a displeased look, and said, "Nine Articles of Beiming Imperial Family Regulations No. 90, you read it to the Ai family."

Xiang Yini swallowed nervously, and immediately felt her head buzzing, her face was as red as fire with embarrassment.

She didn't know that the queen mother would summon her suddenly, so she had only seen the house rules twice, so how could she memorize them?
Right now, she was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears, and Xiang Yili beside her frowned slightly with worry, and lowered her head, not daring to answer.

Although she had memorized the house rules, 99 of them were about going back to her mother's house, but Beigong Qianling often took her to Xianghou's mansion, so she didn't dare to help at this moment.

Seeing the silent Xiang Yini, Chu Jiaoli reminded in a low voice: "The royal family needs..."

"Huanli, what are you muttering about? Is there any Aijia in your eyes?" The queen mother frowned and said in a low voice.

Chu Jiaoli was startled suddenly, she swallowed her saliva, and said: "If you go back to the emperor's grandmother, the concubine just... wants to remind the princess and concubine..."

The queen mother snorted coldly and said, "Oh? Then you are very good? Then tell me, what are these 99 family rules about?"

Seeing that Chu Jiaoli diverted the Queen Mother's attention, Xiang Yini breathed a sigh of relief, isn't she too stupid?Really overwhelmed.

"Nine Articles of Beiming Imperial Family Regulations No. 90: Royal female family members can only return home with the order of the Empress Dowager. Except for the serious illness of their parents, they cannot return home more than three times a year." Chu Jiaoli replied obediently.

Xiang Yini frowned in surprise, this... how could she know? !
Hearing this, the Empress Dowager was stunned for a moment, she said the family rules verbatim, she raised her eyebrows in surprise, and had a good impression of the woman in front of her.

She asked, "There are more than 200 family rules of the Beiming imperial family, how many do you know?"

Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips, and said: "If you go back to the emperor's grandmother, the family rules are 260 and [-], and the concubines have already memorized them all."
