Why do I have the lowest fighting ability among the whole family?

Chapter 26 Celebrating your separation

Pei Shao really didn't understand why his usually soft and weak mother was related to the Queen Mother, the most noble woman in the world.

Since he couldn't figure it out, Pei Shao simply didn't think about it.

The palace gate was guarded day and night. It was not a short distance from the Cheng Mansion. When I arrived at the palace gate, I had reached the point where the key to the palace gate was locked.

Before the guard brother could chase him away with a dark face, Cheng had already signaled Bai Ying to hand over a sign.

The guard brother who got the sign looked obviously serious. He whispered a few words to the person behind him, and his face changed into a flattering expression.

"Madam, please ask a maid from the Queen Mother's Palace to lead the way."

Mrs. Cheng nodded lightly in agreement, her face calm.

Pei Shao followed Cheng into the palace gate, only to realize that the descriptions of the palace in the novels he had read were weak.

This place is just the city gate, but the decoration is already extremely luxurious and exquisite, with carved beams and painted buildings, and two lifelike dragon patterns carved on the tall city wall.

Pei Shao simply couldn't imagine how luxurious the bedrooms and residences of the empresses in the palace would be.

The Queen Mother's maid was already waiting at the city gate. She was a little surprised when she saw the wheelchair under Cheng's body, but she was sensible enough not to ask any questions and quietly led the way.

The most taboo thing for people who serve in the palace is to talk too much.

The maid stopped until she reached the palace gate with the plaque of Shoukang Palace.

"Mrs. Cheng, the Queen Mother is waiting for you inside."

She bowed briefly, opened the palace door, and escorted Mrs. Cheng in.

The Queen Mother is not as old as Pei Shao expected, but she is not young anymore. At this moment, she is kneeling devoutly in front of the Buddha statue, holding a string of rosary beads in her hand.

Mrs. Cheng did not disturb the Queen Mother, and followed behind in her wheelchair, signaling Pei Shao to kneel on another futon behind the Queen Mother.

After the three sticks of incense were burned, the Queen Mother raised her hand and signaled Mrs. Cheng to help her up.

"Why are you free to come here today? I have been married to the capital for more than ten years, and I have not even entered the palace once. It is rare to see her today."

"May the Queen Mother be blessed and safe."

Mrs. Cheng said, signaling Pei Shao to bring the wooden box to the Queen Mother.

The boxes still contained the same gifts she had given Cheng Yishen when she went out in the afternoon. The difference was that each box inside had been carefully written and pasted by Cheng on how to use it and its effects.

The Queen Mother opened the box and took a few glances, then took out a candy blind box.

"Is this what you came here for?"

She opened the seal on the brocade box and took out a crystal clear candy wrapped in cellophane.

"It's hard for you to remember that the Ai family loves sweets."

She closed the box again and put it back on the low table next to the imperial concubine. "Tell me, what are you asking for?"

Mrs. Cheng pursed her lips and smiled, no longer beating around the bush.

"My daughter is opening her shop today, and she needs someone of high status to give her a gift to increase her reputation. Isn't the Queen Mother the most noble person in the world?"

The Queen Mother held her forehead and smiled.

"It's just a small matter, just send someone to deliver a message. It's hard for you to make a trip because of your inconvenience."

"That's all," she waved her hand again, "You have already spoken to the Ai family, and the Ai family will naturally give you this face, right? I guarantee that this little daughter of yours will gain enough face."

The Queen Mother had nothing to do, and looking at Pei Shao who was as cute as a jade snow dumpling, she was also very tight, holding her little face and not letting go.

"When you have time, please send your little daughter to the palace to stay with the Ai family for a few days."

The Queen Mother sighed: "The palace is lonely, and it has been a long time since there was a prince or princess in the palace."

The Queen Mother had a headache when she mentioned it.

Today's emperor is good at everything, but he is not close to women.

I rarely go to the harem on weekdays, and even if I do, I go to the queen twice out of three times. Now the emperor is in his early forties, and there are only seven princes and princesses in the palace.

The Queen Mother looked at Pei Shao more and more like him, so she pulled out a phoenix hairpin from her head and gave it to her.

Mrs. Cheng hurriedly signaled to Pei Shao to thank him.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your love!"

Pei Shao's voice was crisp.

It wasn't until a eunuch came in to urge the Queen Mother to wash up and go to bed that the Queen Mother reluctantly returned Pei Shao to the Cheng family.

It wasn't until he left the door of Shoukang Palace that Pei Shao finally couldn't hold it in any longer and said what he was embarrassed to ask just now.

"Why do you still know the Queen Mother?"

[Obviously I am the golden thigh of the whole family! Why am I a mother now QAQ]

The more Pei Shao thought about it, the sadder he became.

I wanted to take my whole family out of the sea of ​​misery and make a fortune, but now I have become a mother to find a golden thigh for her?
  Listening to her daughter's plaintive voice, Mrs. Cheng smiled, touched her head and explained.

"The Queen Mother was playing south and was kidnapped by bandits. At that time, your brothers and I happened to go up the mountain and rescued the Queen Mother along the way."

Cheng made an understatement and said no more. Instead, she pinched the little chirp on the top of Pei Shao's head.

"In a few days, mother plans to send you over to study with your elder brother."

Mentioning the eldest son Pei Tianqing, Mrs. Cheng felt somewhat worried.

Now the whole family is prosperous, even the second son who was previously addicted to flower houses has made progress, the younger daughter is also smart and sensible, and even the adopted daughter now has medical skills.

Only the eldest son, who knew nothing about poetry and books, was obsessed with the Four Books and Five Classics and studied hard every day.

I have been studying for more than ten years, but apart from being a scholar, I have never achieved any honors.

It hurts to look at her as a mother.

How can I get a wife from now on? Whose good daughter doesn’t want to marry a promising son?
  Thinking about her eldest son's marriage, which is still pending, Mrs. Cheng felt quite sad.

The young masters in Jingzhong and Tianqing, who are as old as Tianqing, not only have wives, but also have several concubines, and their children will run all over the floor.

Only her Tianqing family has not seen any movement so far.

Mrs. Cheng sighed again, comforting herself with joy in her heart.

Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.

Since the New Year approaches these two days, the curfew in Beijing has become increasingly strict.

There was still a moment before curfew, and the road was already quiet and deserted.

The driver drove the carriage very fast, and it took only half a moment to arrive at the Cheng Mansion.

Several uncles returned home early, just waiting for Mrs. Cheng and Pei Shao to come back and have a nice meal together as a family.

"What day is it today? Why is the big brother back?"

Cheng was quite surprised.

Being busy with the shop, Cheng Yishen has not been home for several days. He stays in the shop for food and accommodation every day, watching the workers constructing during the day, and pondering over the design drawings at night.

"It's not like I've been busy with the shop these past few days and I just took a break today to celebrate your divorce."

Cheng Yishen filled up the wine glass in front of him without caring, his cheeks were faintly blushing, and he looked like he had drunk too much.

"Little sister...my little sister has suffered for so many years, and the days to come will be good ones."

he murmured.
