Tell the lord, the princess has climbed the wall

Chapter 157: Bird's Nest
It seems that Sima Cheng's prediction was correct, these people are indeed drunkards who don't care about drinking.

It's just that Liang Ran is more honest than I expected. I heard that she just gave birth and took care of her son every day in the mansion. She didn't expect to get this confidential information, and even risked getting her maid to send it to her. .

The kindness of dripping water is reciprocated by the spring, it seems that I did not save the wrong person at the beginning.Zuo Mu thought with relief in his heart.

Finally, amidst all kinds of speculation and anxiety, Zuo Mu entered Ci'an Palace with the nanny who led the way.

However, after entering the main hall, Zuo Mu was surprised that she hadn't seen the Queen Mother for the first time, but a slim woman came in front of her.

The woman's eyebrows were like willow leaves, her eyes were like autumn water, and her jade-like face was exquisitely beautiful. Before seeing Zuo Mu, she smiled sweetly.

This woman, Zuo Mu, was naturally very impressed. If not Mu Qi, who else could display the beauty of a woman so captivatingly?
To be honest, compared to the last time we met, Mu Qi has lost a lot of weight, and when walking carefully, she can find that one leg is a little lame, which should be the masterpiece of Ah Li and the others last time.

"Concubine Kang, you are finally here. The Empress Dowager has been nagging about you for a long time, please come in quickly." Seeing Zuo Mu, Mu Qi greeted her intimately as if nothing happened, and pulled her straight to the bedroom of the Queen Mother Bai. .

"There is Princess Laoqi!" Zuo Mu lowered his eyes and smiled coldly in his heart.

It is rare to be so enthusiastic, it seems that he is really courteous for nothing, either adultery or robbery.

Entering the bedroom, I saw the noble and elegant Queen Mother, leaning against the head of the bed listlessly, her black and glossy hair was half loose and casually draped over her shoulders.

Although not as radiant as usual, the whole person exudes a kind of alternative beauty that makes people feel pitiful.

"I haven't been out for a long time and I don't know that my mother is in poor health. My daughter-in-law is late, and I ask my mother to forgive me!" Zuo Mu entered the door, saluted and apologized.

"It's good to be here, it's good to be here, Cheng'er is sick these days, it's not easy for you to come, please sit down and rest." The Queen Mother Bai greeted weakly, but she seemed more generous and kind than usual. few.

"Thank you, Empress." Zuo Mu got up and sat on the brocade stool beside him, doing his best.

"Qi'er, now that Concubine Kang is here, you should go down and rest for a while anyway," the Queen Mother Bai arranged for Zuo Mu, then turned to look at Mu Qi and praised,
"Daughter-in-law, you don't even know that Empress Xu and the others are sick these days, and it's all because of this girl watching day and night. It's really rare to see such a well-behaved and sensible child in these years. Take a look, in order to serve me This old lady, she has lost a lot of weight."

"What the empress dowager said, it's Qi'er's blessing to serve you by your side." Mu Qi replied obediently with a shy face.

"Good boy, go and have a good rest. I know that you and Concubine Kang haven't seen each other for a few days. When it's lunch time, I'll let Nanny Li call you. It's not too late for you to talk about yourself."

"Yes, please trouble Princess Kang to take care of her first, and Qi'er will go down first."

The two said goodbye reluctantly, and Mu Qi finally went out.

What a picture of you caring for me, grandparents and grandchildren loving each other deeply. In comparison, my daughter-in-law seems superfluous.However, Mu Qi seems to have improved a lot after the last lesson, at least she has become more and more good at acting!Staring at Mu Qi's gradually disappearing back, Zuo Mu thought silently.

Empress Dowager Bai looked at Mu Qi's back as she went away, then glanced at Zuo Mu who had been dazed from time to time since entering, and smiled weakly,

"You don't have to worry about it. In Aijia's heart, you are all the same. I have already asked Madam Li to clean up the two rooms in the west wing. One is for Qi'er to live in for the past two days, and the other , I will keep it for you, if you are tired and sleepy, you can go there to rest at any time."

"The queen mother is thoughtful. It is the daughter-in-law's duty to serve the queen mother. The daughter-in-law is not sleepy."

While talking, I saw Li Mama coming over with a bowl of steaming hot soup.

A strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine rushed to the face, Zuo Mu took it and sniffed lightly: Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, Baiziren, Schisandra...

Sure enough, it was a serious illness, and all the medicines he drank were calming and nourishing medicine.

Zuo Mu lowered his eyes to hide the thoughts in his heart, slowly blew the medicine to cool down, and carefully fed it to the Queen Mother Bai in small sips.

Soon, the Empress Dowager fell into a drowsy state after drinking the medicine.

Can't you be sleepy?After taking such a heavy tranquilizing medicine, if I were a normal person, I would lose my energy after drinking it.
Look at the Empress Dowager Bai again, although she pretends to be weak, her eyes are clear and her tongue is ruddy, she has no symptoms at all.It was rare for her to pretend to be sick and lie in the house for such a long time, and it was really hard for her.

For the remaining half of the morning, the Empress Dowager Bai lay obediently on the bed and rested, and did not use some tricks as Zuo Mu expected, tossing her to serve tea and water.

It seems that this is going to wait until the meal time to do it.Zuo Mu looked at the beam boredly, thinking silently.

In the blink of an eye, it was lunch time, and Mu Qi showed up on time. When Zuo Mu came to the outside room with the Empress Dowager Bai, he saw that there was already a large table full of delicacies.

"This golden bird's nest is a good thing. It is a specialty of the Yuezhi Kingdom. In the past few days, Qi'er has stewed a few cups for Ai's family. Not to mention that the body is really refreshed. You should try it later." As soon as the Queen Mother sat down, she pointed to the soup cups with white background and blue flowers in the middle of the table and enthusiastically introduced them to Zuo Mu.

"The special products of the Yuezhi Kingdom must be good. As long as your body can return to normal, the Queen Mother, it is better than anything else," Zuo Mu said with a smile, "Besides, these are Princess Qi's filial piety to you, daughter-in-law There is no disaster or disease, so let’s see if it’s free.”

"Concubine Kang is very polite. Knowing that you came today, Qi'er told Nanny Li to cook two more cups early in the morning. We didn't have a good time when we saw each other last time. You must appreciate this thin noodle today. .”

Mu Qi said kindly, and brought two cups of bird's nest without any explanation, one cup was placed in front of Zuo Mu, and the other cup was casually placed on her seat.

"Concubine Kang, please take a sip first, if you like it, Qi'er has some more, and I will pack it for you and send it to your house in person."

"Well, the taste is really good." Zuo Mu smiled, picked up the soup cup and took a sip, "However, it is unnecessary to send it to the family, the Queen Mother is ill, and these good things must be kept close to her old man first. There is a reason why we young people are still scrambling to get it.”

Mu Qi got up to serve the Empress Dowager Bai, seeing Zuo Mu taking a sip so quickly from the corner of the eye, she hurriedly lowered her eyes to hide the joy in her heart, and said modestly, "Princess Kang's lesson is that it was Qi'er who missed the mark."

After Zuo Mu finished drinking, he took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth.

After realizing it, she finally noticed something strange. At first glance, these soup cups seemed to be the same, but upon closer inspection, they were really different. It seemed that except for the soup cup she used, which had four petals, the others were all the same. It's all five petals...
