In the end, Ruan Xiuzhen was the daughter of a cabinet minister. Although Ye Zhen knew that she went to the hunting ground with bad intentions, she still went to see her in person. The imperial doctor had already been invited. He said that her left calf was trampled by a horse and fractured. Fortunately, the guard next to her rescued her in time, so she was not trampled by the horse.
"Why did you go to the hunting ground?" Madam Ruan hated her daughter for failing to meet her expectations. She just went to the toilet but her daughter took the opportunity to slip away.
Ruan Xiuzhen was sober at this time. She could not achieve her goal but was injured. She was feeling sad. Seeing the Empress looking at her with a knowing expression, she felt even more embarrassed.
"Imperial Physician Li, will there be any future problems in our daughter's leg?" Madam Ruan asked.
"As long as she recuperates well, there will be no future problems." Imperial Physician Li said.
Madam Ruan breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Imperial Physician Li." She stood up and saluted Ye Zhen. "Empress, this official's wife is not strict enough to let my daughter provoke your interest. It is a crime worthy of death."
Ye Zhen said warmly, "No one wants accidents, but in the future, you should pay attention to be careful."
Although the Empress did not say a word of reprimand, Madam Ruan still felt a burst of heat on her face. Everyone knew that the Emperor took His Royal Highness to the hunting ground. Without a summons, all the noblewomen avoided going there. What was Ruan Xiuzhen, a girl who was not yet married, doing there? The purpose was self-evident. The joke had already spread behind her back.
The Ruan family really lost a lot of face this time.
"Thank you, Empress." Madam Ruan bowed her head in shame. When she went back, she must lock her daughter up. Even she didn't want to go out again. This incident would certainly become a joke in the capital.
Ruan Xiuzhen closed her eyes tightly. She resisted tears at this time.
Ye Zhen asked someone to send the mother and daughter back.
When she returned to the palace, Ye Zhen knew what was going on.
"Empress, Ruan Xiuzhen went to the hunting ground with bad intentions. While Madam Ruan was not paying attention, the horse boy had advised her not to disturb the horses. She also entered the stable with the fragrance of rouge. Horses are most afraid of the strong smell of rouge. She was lucky not to be trampled to death." Hong Ling told Ruan Xiuzhen what she had heard. "If the emperor had not left the hunting ground at that time, maybe Ruan Xiuzhen would have met him."
If Ruan Xiuzhen bumped into the emperor's horse, she wouldn't just have her legs broken. With the emperor's ruthlessness, she might have been trampled to death.
Ye Zhen had probably guessed that this should be the case. She shook her head and smiled, amused by Ruan Xiuzhen's approach.
However, she still felt that it was strange. It shouldn't be that easy to enter the stable of the hunting grounds. Ruan Xiuzhen had entered the hunting grounds too easily.
That night, when Mo Rongzhan came back from dealing with the memorials, Ye Rou had already gone to bed. After a simple wash, he lay down beside her and habitually held her in his arms.
"You're back?" Ye Zhen had already fallen asleep. Feeling his warm embrace, she opened her eyes in a daze and glanced at him. Today was her period. She thought he would sleep in the Palace of Heavenly Purity as before.
"It's been a tiring day. Do you feel uncomfortable?" Mo Rongzhan pressed his palm against her lower abdomen.
Ye Zhen smiled. "I don't feel uncomfortable. Why did you come back so soon today? Has Mingxi's reading partner been chosen?"
Mo Rongzhan whispered, "Well, he decided by himself."
"Mingyu also chose her by herself." Ye Zhen laughed. Both children had their own ideas.
"When will you let these children enter the palace again?" Mo Rongzhan said.
Ye Zhen responded softly, somehow thinking of the injured Ruan Xiuzhen. "Today, Lord Ruan's daughter was injured in the hunting ground."
Mo Rongzhan had already heard about it, but he didn't take it to heart. "Ruan Jinghua is a strict person and does not teach his children well."
"Miss Ruan went to the hunting ground for you." Ye Zhen poked him in the chest. "Did you know that she went to the hunting ground?"
"I don't have that much leisure time." Mo Rongzhan directly denied that Ruan Xiuzhen's injury had nothing to do with him. "She ran to the hunting ground for no reason. It can be seen that her mind is not pure."
Ye Zhen felt that he was right. If he was really impatient, he would have thrown her out directly.
"It's all because the emperor is too handsome and attractive that the little girl's heart is moved. She doesn't even want her life to see you." Ye Zhen joked with a smile.
Mo Rongzhan opened a pair of dark and bright eyes and stared at her. "Don't provoke me, Yao Yao."
Ye Zhen rubbed a few times in his arms. "I'm not wrong. When you appeared today, the eyes of those little girls were stuck on you."
"Can I make you unable to move your eyes?" Mo Rongzhan kissed her lips and asked.
He was so handsome and attractive, how could she be willing to look away?
"I like Brother Zhan the most." Ye Zhen whispered. She was not jealous at all today. She just felt lucky that this man was hers.
Mo Rongzhan chuckled, hugged her tightly and kissed her for a long time before releasing her. "Go to sleep."
Ye Zhen fell asleep in his arms contentedly.
The next day, Ye Zhen called Ming Xi over and asked him who he would choose as his reading partner. The answer surprised Ye Zhen.
In addition to Yan Xiaoliu, Ming Xi also chose three people: Mo Lianzheng of the Fifth Prince's family, Lin Yanbei, the eldest young master of the Lin family, and Xu Jinbei, the grandson of Elder Xu.
Except for Mo Lianzheng, the others were not particularly high-born.
"Do you like Zheng Ge?" Ye Zhen had never seen the other two children and was a little surprised that Ming Xi chose Zheng Ge.
"He is obedient." Ming Xi said simply. Although Mo Lianzheng looked silly, he was obedient and much better than Mo Lianbang. Ming Xi did not think that he was stupid.
Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows at her son's reason. She would observe him later. "Lin Yanbei … seems to be the son of the new assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"
Ming Xi nodded. "Yes, mother. When can they enter the palace?"
"Tomorrow." It seemed that he was anxious to be with his little friends.
"Why hasn't the Grand Tutor arrived yet?" Ming Xi asked in a low voice. He had been looking forward to Huang Fuchen coming to Jin Kingdom every day.
Ye Zhen whispered, "Calculating the time, he should be arriving soon."
Only then did Ming Xi leave contentedly.
"Niang niang, the third young master of the Lu family is outside the palace." Hong Ling came in and whispered to Ye Zhen.
"Lu Zan is back?" Ye Rou was slightly surprised. That was fast. "Let him in."
When she was in the Lu family, although Ye Zhen did not like the second branch of the Lu family, she still had a good impression of Lu Zan. She was willing to give him the opportunity to do things for her. He did do a good job and hoped that she could find a satisfactory answer.
After a while, Lu Zan was brought to the side hall.
"Third brother, you are back?" Ye Zhen came in and called him third brother with a smile.
Lu Zan dared not really treat himself as her third brother.
