She is different from the empress in the history books

Cheng Fei tilted her head, not quite understanding why her resistance was so firm, but she actually didn't have that kind of close relationship with the other party since she was a child, so she complimented her intentionally and wanted to leave.

At this time, the aunt suddenly asked:
"I heard that a new family moved into the village?"

New here?

It was actually a bit strange to ask Cheng Fei this question, after all, she had just come back.

But she thought about it, and it was probably Ahu's family that she was talking about. After all, in this village with a strong clan, the people in this village are too organized, and outsiders would not choose to settle here unless they had to.

Cheng Fei nodded.

"Have you seen them? I heard from your mother that he is a very strong young man and that he has a sick mother."

"I have seen Ahu, but not his mother. Do you know my uncle?"

In fact, Cheng Fei just asked casually, but the other party nodded, and she said calmly:
"We have met several times. It's not easy for the mother and son. If you can help, please help them."

Cheng Fei wanted to ask more, but saw that the aunt's eyes had been gently closed, and she seemed to have fallen asleep due to sleepiness.

Cheng Fei blinked a few times and felt something was wrong, but she didn't ask any further questions and walked out of the door quietly, closing the door for her.

At this time, Qu Song was leading people to stand at the entrance of the palace, waiting for inspection.

That's right, it's Qu Song.

He is the one responsible for delivering the annual gifts. After all, he has been in the palace several times and has become a relatively peaceful saint.

Moreover, he can speak eloquently, and he has established some friendship with some servants, whether it is to respond to Pei Wei or other people's inquiries, or to ask someone to help spread the word in case of any emergency, it is easier.

Qu Song stood leisurely at the door and chatted with the guards, watching them carefully inspect the items in the box. He even took them out one by one without being nervous and didn't even blink.

"Hey, brother, I've heard it a long time ago. Your princess has made a magical elixir. How about you, don't you show it to your brothers?"

Although their job is essentially to guard the gates, they are different from the old men who guard the gates of ordinary people. These guards are basically the children of wealthy families and wealthy families. They guard the gates at the entrance of the palace. That is the transitional stage of their first career. Brush up on your qualifications and become familiar with important ministers.

Therefore, even though Qu Song has entered the palace several times, he is regarded as Pei Peng's valued subordinate, but he really does not deserve to be called "brother" by them.

The word "brother" at this time is naturally very valuable and must be exchanged for benefits.The advantage is that he can see the magic elixir earlier than the emperor.

But not everyone gave Qu Song this face, and not everyone believed what was said from Chengyang County.At this time, someone sneered:
"What kind of magic pill, you really believe it. Princess Chengyang has stayed in the capital for so many years. When the old god of Shangqing Temple was still there, she also went to offer incense every year, but she never made any magic pill."

The implication was that Pei Peng was deliberately trying to fool people.

Especially the person who said this, the elder of the family was thinking about how to get the wine recipe from Pei Peng and marry Xu Shu, so that everything in the princess mansion would belong to his family.

The elders in the family had been preparing for this for a while. They even tried their best to impress Pei Wei's servant who paid a high price to impress him, and finally convinced Pei Wei.

He began to fantasize about how he could bypass his cousin to please Xu Shu, tricking people in first and then talking about it. What was the result? What was the result?As soon as the news about the magic pill came out, Pei Wei stopped moving.

Pei Wei is willing to be confused in other people's affairs, otherwise he would not be able to make the harem so chaotic, making it difficult for Wang Shu, the queen, to suppress the concubine who is about to move, but when it comes to his own affairs, he is very shrewd.

That's right, once Pei Peng married off her daughter, no matter what she wanted to do, half of her enthusiasm was gone. Who made her have no son? Without a son, who else could she earn family property for?
However, once her anger has dissipated, will she be determined to give the recipe for the magic pill to her son-in-law?

How could Pei Wei allow this to happen?If someone else takes the recipe for the magic elixir, then who is he as an emperor?
So, it was an easy matter to close the box.

Although there are other ways for people who want to marry Xu Shu, at present, there are too many difficulties. Without His Majesty's approval, it will be difficult for them to deal with Pei Peng.

They also sent people to Xu's family. After all, Xu Shu's grandmother is still alive, and her surname is Xu. The patriarch can also manage her marriage, but it is not as easy as the emperor bestowing a marriage.

Qu Song couldn't afford to offend the other party, so naturally he wouldn't respond with any harsh words, but he was too lazy to talk to this fool. After remembering the other party's appearance, he decided to inquire privately, and then continued to watch the guards inspecting him with a smile. .

Fortunately, these things are annual gifts for the emperor and the masters of the harem. Even if they want to find the magic pill, they will search very carefully, it will only slow down the progress.

No matter how slow the progress was, there was still time to finish the search. They even looked through the vases, makeup boxes, and small pots of tea. There was nothing, still nothing, no round pills.

They were careful when searching for gifts, but much rougher when searching for people. Qu Song and his party were searched from top to bottom, even their tied hair was loosened, but they were still not found.

That is, it was near the end of the year and it was not the time to go to court, so they could be asked to check like this, but even so, they still failed to do so.

"go in."

The guards waved their hands rather unfavorably and stopped calling Qu Song brothers.

Qu Song cupped his hands, showing no displeasure at being neglected, and then called on the people behind him to follow him.

Pei Wei sat drowsily at the top. He slept late yesterday and the day before yesterday.Well, to be precise, he has been sleeping late in the past month.

Not only did he sleep late, but he also started to lose control over his food, not just his appetite, but also other aspects.

He originally listened to the imperial doctor's words, but now he doesn't listen much anymore. There is no Queen Mother in the palace to dissuade her. Wang Shu tried to dissuade her twice, but she felt that the harmony between husband and wife was more important. She also wanted to have a child. Well, in short, no one would persuade me.

The last time Qu Song saw Pei Wei was a month ago. This time after he saluted, he glanced at Pei Wei and quickly lowered his head, but he was shocked in his heart - why is the emperor in this state?

It's not old or sick, but a kind of fatigue revealed from the inside out. Coupled with his bloated figure, slightly protruding eyes, and chapped lips, besides the fatigue, there is also Faint excitement, and a completely undisguised eagerness.

"Quick, quick, quick, here's the magic pill, show it to me!"

Thanks to Mr. A for the reward for encouraging the bot, thanks to Xiaoxiao, Mountains and Rivers Full of Hearts, thiefcat1220, and Moon Passerby for their monthly votes.There are three additional updates, one for two-month tickets and one for rewards. I will try my best to finish them today and tomorrow.
