"aunt."

At the entrance of Yutang Palace, Fu Mengli's tears were swirling in her eyes, about to fall.

"I have met Her Majesty the Virtuous Concubine. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness."

Lin Jingsheng's wife, Zhang, was dressed in a cloth skirt and a straw hairpin. Her haggard face and white hair made Fu Mengli finally hold back her tears. Thinking of her aunt who used to be dressed in pearls, jades, silk and satin, she sobbed even more.

"Aunt, why is it so?"

Fu Mengli helped Zhang up, and they cried together.

After entering the Yutang Palace, Fu Mengli wiped her tears and ordered the palace servants to bring her the gold and silver she had saved, jewelry without the palace mark, and a letter.

"Without the fiefdom and salaries, and with so many servants, how can we live in the capital? This is what I have saved over the years, give it all to my aunt.

And this letter is for my father, asking him to take better care of my uncle and aunt and their family, and not to ignore them, not ask about them, and not have any contact with them just because my uncle has lost his power."

Fu Mengli frowned, her heart and eyes full of worry.

"Take this letter, Aunt. As for the gold and silver, keep them for yourself. When the Fifth Prince grows up, he will have many more places to spend money.

Your Majesty only took away your uncle's title, but did not confiscate the family property. Although he has lost his power, the family still has fields and shops, and they live frugally, and are not much different from before.

But today when I enter the palace, I am already a commoner, so it is not convenient for me to show off.

Also, your second cousin and your two nephews have not been implicated and still have things to do, and Su'er's marriage with the eldest princess has not been cancelled.

Mengli, true friendship is revealed in times of adversity. As long as you have a kind heart, you deserve your aunt's love for you."

Zhang said with relief.

Zhang did not mention the intention of asking Fu Mengli to plead for mercy for her eldest son Lin Qingang who was in prison. Although she was a woman who never went out of the house, she was not unaware of the importance of making choices.

It is better for a gecko to cut off its tail to survive than to not give up when it should.

Zhang felt helpless about her eldest son.

"Aunt, since my mother passed away, I have been closest to you. If anyone bullies you, just go to the Fu family and ask my stepmother to come to the palace and tell me. Her children are young and their future is uncertain, so she dare not offend me."

"I understand, Your Majesty." Zhang nodded.

Then he smiled and sighed, "The virtuous concubine is a capable one. Not long after entering the palace, she gave birth to the fifth prince. The fifth prince is growing up healthily, and the concubine is pregnant again.

When I first entered the palace to pay my respects to Her Majesty, she was just a beauty. Now, she has become a consort. That's great.

The road ahead is bright!"

"Aunt, if there is anything difficult at home that I, a concubine, cannot help with, you can go find Mingzhang. When Mingzhang is older, he will be able to handle things on his own."

"Your Majesty, please don't worry about these things. You are pregnant with the royal heir, so you should relax a little so that the royal heir can grow strong."

Zhang took a sip of tea, sighed, and said quietly:

"Have you heard, Your Majesty, that His Majesty is going to take the princes hunting?"

"of course."

Fu Mengli made tea herself and looked up, wondering why Zhang suddenly brought up this matter.

"His Majesty has appointed Su'er to accompany him.

In the future, when Su'er marries the eldest princess and becomes related to the Imperial Concubine Yi of Luanyi Palace, she will probably have frequent contact with the Seventh Prince. I'm worried that the Empress will think too much."

Zhang hesitated.

"Aunt, you worry too much."

Fu Mengli smiled and shook her head.

Now that her uncle's family has lost its power, they have to rely on Princess Wuyang. How could she think too much?

"Su'er married the eldest princess and became her husband. It was only natural for him to be close to Concubine Yi."

"Your uncle said that there was nothing that could be done about Qingang, and told me not to meddle in other people's business. He brought this upon himself, and I felt helpless but I let it go.

But Qingyu is still deeply trusted by His Majesty. I am thinking, should I let Qingyu go to pay a visit to His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince during the hunting trip?"

Fu Mengli thought for a moment, thinking that her aunt really had no sense of security.

"I will tell Mingzhang well. His temper is not good. My aunt has come here many times and has seen him many times. Although he is a little overbearing and willful, he is also sensible and knows what to do."

"Thank you, ma'am!"

Without the title, there will be no protection. Anyone in the capital can step on him. In the future, Qingyu will be closer to the fifth prince, and Suer will interact more with the seventh prince. There will always be a way out, Zhang thought to herself.
