Emperor Wen, who believed that he was a good father, nodded in agreement. However, he said, "My second son's mother died early. Naturally, I have to take care of him as much as the Crown Prince. I can't be a loving father."

Indeed, one was raised by him, while the other was raised by the palace maids and eunuchs. He really couldn't be a loving father.

After all, the difference was too obvious. Even a crafty person like Consort De, who was used to acting according to his mood, couldn't go against his conscience and praise Emperor Wen for treating his children equally.

Consort De's mouth twitched. After hiding her sarcasm, she took the initiative to change the topic. "The Princess has changed a lot recently. When I looked at her, I actually saw the elegance of Queen Yuan."

"Mei Niang looks like me …" Emperor Wen said very seriously.

Queen Yuan's face was like a silver basin, round and smooth. She was very blessed in this era and had a face that was widely praised by the elders. Wu Mei hadn't grown up yet. Her cheeks even had some baby fat. In addition, her eyebrows and eyes were 50% similar to Queen Yuan's. If she wore thicker clothes, she would indeed look like Queen Yuan from afar.

Consort De's words could be considered to have touched Emperor Wen's itch.

However, in Emperor Wen's heart, his daughter was so cute and beautiful. In addition to looking like Queen Yuan, she looked more like him …

To put it bluntly, the reason why his daughter was so beautiful was mainly because she had picked up his good points …

Sure enough, those who could become emperors were all shameless …

Consort De's mouth twitched. However, she still flattered Emperor Wen by saying that Wu Mei's eyes and mouth looked like Emperor Wen's.

One had to know that Emperor Wen's appearance could only be considered normal and delicate. His eyes were the common single phoenix eyes. However, Wu Mei's eyes were rather seductive fox eyes.

As for their mouths, the only similarity was that both father and daughter's mouths were red and the color was just right.

Consort De said that Wu Mei's eyes and mouth resembled Emperor Wen's. She was really good at flattering Emperor Wen.

It was no wonder that Consort De, a mere palace maid, could become one of the four high and mighty concubines.

After complimenting Emperor Wen, Consort De changed the topic.

Consort De was very skillful with her words. Even if some of her words were actually offensive, Emperor Wen still enjoyed it. Naturally, he didn't like the person whom Consort De was trying to insinuate.

It was late at night. Consort De stopped talking with Emperor Wen. The two of them had a romantic night.

The two of them didn't know that as soon as they got into bed, the content of their previous conversation was passed to Wu Mei's ears by the rats who were watching them.

Wu Mei said with a faint smile, "Consort De is really not simple. She really is the winner who had the last laugh."

A large rat with white hair on the top of its head and a black body squeaked, "Your Highness, what do you plan to do?"

Wu Mei glanced at the large rat with some skills and asked indifferently, "What do you think we should do?"

"We rats will definitely stand on Your Highness' side."

"That's how it should be," Wu Mei nodded with satisfaction, then asked, "Consort De was born as a palace maid, right?"

"Consort De was originally a merchant's daughter. After she was selected to enter the palace, she was lucky enough to enter the palace of Queen Yuan.

Later, when Queen Yuan gave birth to the Crown Prince, she hooked up with Emperor Wen. Not long after, she became a talented person. "

"She really does have some skills."

Although she said this, Fu Mei still had a calm look on her face, without the slightest trace of worry on her face.

Indeed, with Wu Mei's abilities, there was no need to worry. After all, no matter how powerful Consort De was, she was still a mortal.

Wu Mei currently had to gather all of her magic power to summon the soul of the Benefactor's child, so that she could give birth to the Benefactor's child. However, the ability to control animals other than plants was as simple as breathing.

With the rat army that was constantly monitoring the entire palace and reporting the situation, what could Consort De do even if she schemed?

Would Consort De have the last laugh because of her son?

Haha, with Wu Mei here, this kind of thing could only be a pipe dream.

Wu Mei raised her eyebrows and very indifferently ordered: "You guys continue to keep a close eye on her for this noble one. This noble one wants to see what else she can pretend to be apart from pretending to be a white lotus."

The big rat squatting on the table nodded his head heavily. Wu Mei added: "The concubines of the other palaces also don't relax. Also, this noble one's concubine-born brothers in this world also don't favor one and discriminate against the other. You must keep a close eye on her.

As for Brother Crown Prince … the servants of the Eastern Palace, you guys properly investigate them for this noble one. "

The big rat nodded his head heavily again, indicating that he would definitely complete this task perfectly. Then, he scampered off the table and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

One of Wu Mei's palace servants came in with a plate of crispy pastries and a few plates of preserved fruit.

"Princess, a few magpies landed in the courtyard just now. They were chirping non-stop. Don't mention how festive it was."

Chun Yu put the crispy pastries and the plates of preserved fruit on the table. Then, she went out again and brewed a pot of high-quality tea.

She poured out the foam from the first cup and then handed the second cup to Wu Mei.

Wu Mei picked up a piece of dessert, took a sip of tea, and then a bite of the dessert. She ate very contentedly.

After she finished eating the crispy pastries, Wu Mei teased Chun Yu: "What's so strange about magpies? In the future, our Feng Qi doesn't have much, but we definitely have enough magpies."

"With a noble phoenix like the princess, this servant will be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix for the rest of my life."

Chun Yu was a girl with a round face, and her words were very likable.

She was also very diligent. When Wu Mei put down the teacup, she quickly refilled Wu Mei's cup.

"Where's Qiu Meng?" Wu Mei asked coldly.

Chun Yu couldn't help but shiver. She increasingly felt that her princess's majesty had become more and more powerful after she regained her sanity and was no longer a fool. With just a short question, Chun Yu felt even more pressured.

"Princess, I want to let you know that Qiu Meng … Qiu Meng has been missing since this afternoon. This servant also doesn't know where she went …"

With the constant reports from the rat army and the bird army, Wu Mei naturally knew where Qiu Meng went.

She only asked this because she wanted to find a way to deal with Qiu Meng.

Originally, according to Wu Mei's bad taste, Qiu Meng, who had been planted by someone else, would jump out in front of her?

If that was the case, she would be happy to watch the show.

However, who told Qiu Meng to be so careless as to have designs on Shui Cheng?

Wu Mei couldn't tolerate a disloyal person having designs on the family she had assigned to protect. In a flash, she decided to find a random reason to deal with Qiu Meng.

Wu Mei smiled indifferently and said, "Since you like to go out and don't like to stay in my Feng Qi Palace, there's no need for you to come back.

Chun Yu, tomorrow, tell Wang Mama, who serves Brother Crown Prince, to send Qiu Meng back to the Ministry of the Interior. "

The palace maids and eunuchs who were sent back to the Ministry of the Interior were never treated well. They would only be assigned to do the dirtiest and most tiring work.

However, this was what Qiu Meng deserved. Who told her to touch Wu Mei's bottom line?

Wu Mei only used the Ministry of the Interior to torture Qiu Meng and didn't directly take her life. It was rare for her to be kind.

Chun Yu also knew this, so she only felt that it was a pity that Qiu Meng was a little ignorant. After the princess regained her sanity and was no longer stupid, would she be as easy to fool as before? She had a habit of slacking off and stealing, which finally annoyed the princess.

Chun Yu had this idea because she didn't know that this little sister who lived in the same room was a spy in the hands of another concubine. She only thought that she disappeared from time to time because she sneaked to a secret place to slack off.

Although Chun Yu guessed wrong the reason why Wu Mei punished Qiu Meng, she was likable and diligent, so she didn't want to plead for Qiu Meng.

First of all, she was a person who understood the rules. She knew that once Wu Mei said something, it was a foregone conclusion. It wasn't something that a little servant like her could change. Second of all, although they lived in the same room and called each other little sisters, they didn't have a deep friendship. It wasn't worth the risk for Chun Yu to plead for her.

Chun Yu bit her lips, "This servant understands. Tomorrow, this servant will definitely look for Wang mama and have a good talk."

As she spoke, Chun Yu looked at the half-open window and said hesitantly, "Princess, it's late. You should go to bed."

Wu Mei nodded and got up from the mahogany couch. Chun Yu helped her bathe and change clothes, and then she went to bed.

Wu Mei didn't have any dreams that night. She slept until dawn.

After she got up in the morning, she first washed and dressed. After a round of tidying, she sat at the table and began to eat the sweet millet porridge with frost sugar.

Chun Yu went to Wang Mama early in the morning and told her Wu Mei's order. Wang Mama then led her to punish Qiu Meng quickly and decisively.

After Wu Mei finished a bowl of millet porridge with frost sugar, Qiu Meng was sent back to the Ministry of the Interior, crying and wailing.

After Wu Mei finished her breakfast, Shui Cheng appeared as if he had planned it in advance.

"Little sister, you woke up so early. Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Shui Cheng smiled and pinched Wu Mei's chubby cheeks. Then, as if he was in the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, he casually ordered the servants of Fengqi Palace to serve him breakfast.

Chun Yu went to the small kitchen at the back of the palace and brought out the same breakfast as Wu Mei had earlier. However, because Shui Cheng didn't like sweet things, he didn't put frost sugar in the millet porridge that night. Instead, he put some minced meat.

Shui Cheng quickly finished his breakfast.

After he finished his breakfast, he didn't intend to leave in the yellow Crown Prince's court robes.

Wu Mei was a little confused. After all, according to her understanding, Shui Cheng usually liked to wear casual clothes. Once he put on the Crown Prince's court robes, he would most likely go to the morning court.

Today, the sky was already bright. If Shui Cheng went so late, wasn't he afraid that Emperor Wen would be dissatisfied and think that he wasn't diligent enough?

Wu Mei asked in confusion, "Brother Crown Prince, aren't you going to the morning court?"

"Father was busy eating cabbages last night, so he probably got up late.

I'm going now because I have something to do with Father. It's not a big deal. "
