Queen is fearless

Chapter 75
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I have used the best medicine, and there will be no scars on your empress' hands."

After finishing the medicine, the imperial physician saluted Zhou Jing and told him back.

"Is there any pain relief?" Gu Jinzhi's face was a little pale, and Zhou Jing guessed that it must be in pain. He looked at the imperial physician and asked him.

"This...or should I give the empress a prescription for pain relief?" The wound medicine rubbed on the hands has a slight pain relief effect, but looking at the emperor's appearance, he seems to be quite concerned.

"No need, you go down." Gu Jinzhi spoke before him and ordered, the imperial doctor looked at the emperor, saw him wave his hand, and then bowed and retreated.

"Your Majesty, it's fine, don't worry, it's just a minor injury." After the imperial physician left, Gu Jinzhi held Zhou Jing with his other hand, and comforted him with a smile.

"Look at your complexion, so pale, how can you be all right? In front of me, if you are in pain, just speak up."

As Gu Jinzhi held her back, Zhou Jing couldn't help but look at her hand, with obvious distress, which brought a smile to Gu Jinzhi's face.

"It's just a skin injury, it will be fine if you take care of it. This soup is cold, so I'm afraid it won't taste good. Your Majesty, don't drink it anymore."

Looking at the table, Gu Jinzhi was going to pack the food box, Zhou Jing picked up the remaining soup and drank it down.

"How can I waste the soup made by Jinzhi? It's delicious when it's cold." Showing the empty bowl to Gu Jinzhi, Zhou Jing smiled and packed the food box.

"After lunch in a while, you go to the inner room to have a rest first, and when I finish dealing with it, I will accompany you back to the palace."

"When the emperor finishes his work, let's go to the Shoukang Palace to visit the Queen Mother?" The Queen Mother is very kind to Gu Jinzhi, and when she is free, she often visits the Shoukang Palace.

Apart from serving the emperor's soup today, she specially prepared a portion and ordered someone to send it to Shoukang Palace.

"Alright, I'm busy these days, and I don't have time to greet my mother." Nodding, Zhou Jing ordered Yuan Bao to go to the small kitchen to see how the lunch was being prepared.

After he returned to the dragon case, he continued to deal with the court affairs in hand.

Gu Jinzhi was idle and bored, so he simply found a book and leaned on the soft couch to read it. For a while, the hall was very quiet.

In the Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager was tasting the soup made by Gu Jinzhi herself, "This child, the Empress, is really caring. I don't forget to give a copy of the soup I made for the Emperor to Ai's family."

With a smile on her face, the Empress Dowager was very happy. The one who brought the soup was Bai Zhi who was beside Gu Jinzhi, she could definitely trust her.

Inevitably, the Empress Dowager wanted to ask a few questions, and Bai Zhi responded to all the questions with a respectful tone.

"The Queen Mother didn't want to come back before, are you happy now?" Liu Momo stood aside, and after listening to the Queen Mother finished speaking, she said with a smile.

"Well, glad, the empress is even better than Ai's family thought." Nodding, the empress dowager drank up the soup that the empress dowager brought, "I'm afraid I won't be able to eat much for lunch."

"Then eat less. The old slave told people to prepare snacks in the small kitchen. If you are hungry, eat some."

The queen mother is not very old, but her stomach is not very good, the doctor ordered to eat less and more often.

As a person close to the queen mother, Liu mama naturally puts the queen mother first in everything.

As the evening approached, Zhou Jing and Gu Jinzhi came to the Shoukang Palace. The Queen Mother was very happy to see the two of them.

In front of Zhou Jing, the queen mother kept praising Gu Jinzhi, "The queen's soup is really good. The Ai family drank all the soup you sent."

"If the queen mother likes it, she will give it back to the queen mother when the son and minister do it again."

Hearing the queen mother praised him, Gu Jinzhi smiled and said.

"That's good, Ai's family will be waiting." Holding Gu Jinzhi's hand, the queen mother saw the wound on her hand.

"How did you do this? Why are you still injured?" Looking carefully, the Queen Mother knew that it was a burn, so she quickly ordered Liu Nanny to find out the scald medicine she had here.

"Mother, don't worry about it. It's okay. In Longgan Palace, the emperor asked the imperial physician to show his children."

The concern on the Empress Dowager's face was very real, Gu Jinzhi felt that his soup was not given away in vain.

"You still have to be careful, what should you do if you get a scar? The medicine for wounds here at Ai's house is not available to the imperial physician."

After Grandma Liu got the wound medicine, the Queen Mother handed it to Gu Jinzhi and told her, "You can use it a few times a day, and it can still relieve the pain."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Gu Jinzhi accepted it with a smile, opened it in front of the Queen Mother, and smelled it.

"Look at the intimacy between the queen mother and the queen. If no one mentions it, I'm afraid they will think you are mother and daughter."

Zhou Jing sat on the side, and he was naturally happy that the queen mother and the queen got along well.

"I've been busy with court affairs during this time, so I don't have time to pay my respects to my mother, and ask my mother to forgive her sins."

Of course the Empress Dowager would not question her, she knew that the Emperor was busy, so she was very happy to be here with the Empress today.

When Zhou Jing was speaking, she did not forget to add Gu Jinzhi to let the queen mother know that she reminded herself to pay her respects.

When he said this, the Queen Mother inevitably praised Gu Jinzhi a few more words, and Gu Jinzhi sat aside, accepting the Queen Mother's praise with a smile.

Whether it is royal or private, the problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exists. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law often depends on how the man in the middle deals with it.

Zhou Jing is smart, and the Queen Mother is also smart. Of course, Gu Jinzhi is not bad either. When three smart people get together, naturally there will be no conflicts.

"The Ai family sent someone to send a letter to King Rui. He must have received it and is on his way to the capital."

"When he arrives, leave their mother and son to spend a new year in the capital, and let him take Taifei Xing back to the fief."

Thinking of something, the queen mother looked at Zhou Jing and said to him that the emperor must know about King Rui's entry to Beijing.

"My son knows. I heard from my mother that she wanted Concubine Xing to leave the palace, so my son sent someone to send a letter to King Rui."

According to the regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty, after the crown prince is established, all adult princes will be rewarded and go to the fiefdom. Without an edict, they are not allowed to enter Beijing without permission.

The Queen Mother wrote a letter, even if King Rui received it, he had to submit a memorial to the emperor, or he could only leave for Beijing after receiving the emperor's edict.

"That's good. Ai's family is getting old, and my memory is not as good as before. I just remembered this matter. Fortunately, you are thoughtful."

After listening to Zhou Jing's words, the queen mother nodded, and it was her limit to be able to endure the torture of the concubine until the New Year.

For dinner, Zhou Jing and Gu Jinzhi stayed in Shoukang Palace for dinner, and talked about next year's draft.

This draft is mainly for the royal family, those royal family members of the right age, and it may be possible to add a few people to the harem.

Inevitably, the queen mother wanted to persuade Gu Jinzhi a few words, lest she would feel uncomfortable because of the draft.

To this, Gu Jinzhi responded with a smile, but his eyes drifted to Zhou Jing from time to time...
