The county owner is happy, and the scenery is remarried

Chapter 174

Liu Lanxue has been observing Shibaniang quietly, and even gets close to Shibaniang intentionally or unintentionally.

The little gift she brought made the little ladies of the Xiao family unprepared for her, and even the eighteenth mother said to her eagerly, "Sister, what other novelty gadgets do you have? Which family is my sister from?" Wife? How can you come up with so many rare things? You can’t buy these things even if you have money in Chang’an? My sister is so generous!”

Eighteen Niang got the benefit, one sister at a time, and she called sweetly.

Xiao Yuzhuo came back from the front hall to celebrate his birthday, and was whispering to Zhuxiang and Meixiang, when he raised his eyes, he saw Shibaniang and Liu Lanxue together.

She couldn't help but stop talking, and said instead: "When did Lan Xue and Shiba Niang get so close?"

Mei Xiang lowered her head and snickered.

Zhuxiang coughed lightly.

Xiao Yuzhuo turned his face and glanced at them, "Okay, let someone keep a close eye on King Ji to see what his purpose and intentions are when he came today. He knew that the official censor was staring at him, but he still went The Xiao family must have some kind of conspiracy in making such a trip!"

Zhu Xiang took the order and left, before she left, she suddenly caught sight of Liu Lanxue's hand shaking gently on Shiba Niang's cup.

Liu Lanxue moved very quickly, when Shiba Niang stretched out her hand to drink the tea cup, she withdrew her hand and came back.

It's just that there was a smug smile on her face, but Zhu Xiang took a good look at it.

Zhu Xiang shook her head, and walked away, watching the excitement is good, but the lady's order must not be forgotten.

Xiao Yuzhuo took Mei Xiang to Liu Lanxue and Shiba Niang.

"Isn't Eighteenth Mother going to perform a birthday present today? Why are you still sitting here? Why don't you hurry up and get ready?" Xiao Yuzhuo reminded.

Eighteen Niang glanced at her, got up and said: "Thank you, princess, for reminding me that today's father's birthday, my sisters all have a heart to send, I don't know what my sister wants to give? But I want to set an example, let my sisters also learn from my sister filial piety?"

She chuckled.

Liu Lanxue got up quickly when she saw Xiao Yuzhuo.

Shiba Niang's slightly mocking tone surprised her.

Xiao Yuzhuo smiled indifferently, "There's no such thing as setting an example. Giving a gift is all about the thought, and it's best if it can be delivered to the hearts of others."

Eighteen Niang lowered her eyes and chuckled, "I heard that my sister had a hard time in Wancheng, and opened a small restaurant to make a living. Even if there is nothing I can do, my father will not care about my sister. Just like what my sister said , as long as you have that kind of heart.”

After finishing speaking, she gave Liu Lanxue a blessing in a serious manner, "Sister, sit down for a while, I'll go get ready, and we'll see you later."

It was as if Liu Lanxue was her real cousin.

Liu Lanxue was very surprised in her heart, but nodded calmly.

After Shiba Niang turned to leave, Liu Lanxue whispered: "My lady is really too low-key at home, isn't she? How dare she look down on her like this?"

Xiao Yuzhuo chuckled softly, "She is insignificant, and it doesn't matter what is insignificant. It is unwise to expose my strength to insignificant villains, and let the real enemy find out my details."

Liu Lanxue nodded, her face flushed slightly and she said, "That... lady, I still have some things to do, please let me leave and come back to serve my lady later."

Xiao Yuzhuo looked at Liu Lanxue with a half-smile, "You must have gotten close to Eighteen Niang unintentionally, right? What are you planning? Today is my uncle's birthday, so don't make any trouble!"

Liu Lanxue nodded again and again, "Don't dare, madam, don't worry, the servant girl heard that Shiba Niang disrespected you, so I will punish you a little, and you won't cause any trouble!"

Liu Lanxue repeatedly bowed to Xiao Yuzhuo.

Not wanting to attract the attention of others, Xiao Yuzhuo waved his hand and told Liu Lanxue to leave.

She was sitting in the backyard, but she knew clearly what was going on in the front yard.

I heard that Jing Yannian was injured in the future, but he also asked someone to send a congratulatory gift.

His Royal Highness the King of Yue was in the palace, so it was inconvenient for him to come and go. He didn't even send a gift, so he directly sent a palace man, with two empty paws, to congratulate him and said, "Fortune is like the East China Sea, and life is better than Nanshan". It's over.

Many people say that King Yue is stingy...

Xiao Yuzhuo really knew that others didn't know about the old master of the Xiao family's mess in Wancheng, how could the King of Yue not know about it?

If he doesn't come or give presents, I'm afraid that the elder of the Xiao family is still rejoicing in his heart.

It's just that King Yue and King Wu with a different surname didn't come, but King Ji came here in person, which was even more eye-catching.

Xiao Yuzhuo was probably not the only one staring at him.

Xiao Yuzhuo was calling attention to what congratulatory gift Ji Wang gave her uncle.

But suddenly he heard a scream coming from the adjacent courtyard.

The scream was shrill, like a cat called Chun being strangled by someone.

Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help being startled, and was about to ask someone to take a look, when he saw Liu Lanxue flashing in through the small door at the side without making a fuss.

There was still a slight smile on her face.

Xiao Yuzhuo waved at Liu Lanxue.

Liu Lanxue hurried over, "What do you want my lady to tell you?"

"What was that sound just now?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked softly.

The eldest lady is busy with other things at the moment, the second lady hastily sent someone to find out what's going on.

There are also young ladies who are curious and want to see it.

Xiao Yuzhuo stared at Liu Lanxue.

Liu Lanxue stuck out her tongue, "It's just to make her suffer a little bit, don't worry, my lady, there won't be any big trouble!"

As soon as Liu Lanxue finished speaking, she heard the little lady who was watching the scene hold her nose and hug her back and whispered, "It stinks..."

Xiao Yuzhuo also went to watch the excitement.

Only the crying voice of Shiba Niang came from the clean room, she cried and didn't want anyone to approach her.

The second lady persuaded outside, "If you encounter something, just say it, there are no outsiders here, they are all our own..."

Before the second lady finished speaking, she heard the eighteenth lady inside yelling for everyone to leave, and she didn't want to help.

Those who were close to the clean room covered their mouths and noses slightly, as if there was a filthy smell overflowing from the door.

The second lady understood in her heart, she hesitated for a while, and waved people away.

Especially the little ladies who were happy to watch the excitement were all invited away.

Xiao Yuzhuo was already far away, but when she saw the scene was cleared, she also turned and left.

It was said earlier that the banquet had begun, and the female family members and the ladies of the Xiao family were all invited to the flower hall.

Everyone was talking and laughing, as if they had forgotten Shiba Niang.

There are also little ladies performing arts to celebrate their birthdays.

But until the banquet ended, the male guests began to open up to drink, and the female guests gradually left to eat snacks and watch the play in the yard, and they did not see the eighteen mothers who were going to perform for their father.

When Xiao Yuzhuo was sitting and listening to the play, he heard two little ladies whispering in a row behind him.

"Have you heard? Eighteen Niang finally came out of the clean room in filth! The stink is overwhelming!"

"No wonder I heard that she practiced the piano for more than a month just to perform today, but I didn't see her on stage."

"That smell, can my aunt tell her to come out to shame her? The guests in front are all distinguished guests!"

"She still wants to take advantage of today's birthday banquet to make a splash! Isn't that a lot of limelight?"

"Haha, it really is 'notorious'!"

……

The two young ladies talked and laughed triumphantly.

Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head helplessly, he was really angry with a child...

Unexpectedly, the child got so angry that Shiba Niang really didn't show up for a whole day.

It is said that she asked someone to carry more than a dozen buckets of water to bathe.

I don't know what made her sick?
After listening to the play for a while, Xiao Yuzhuo went to visit Shiwuniang again.

Today, Prince Ji came to the Xiao family to celebrate the birthday of the elder of the Xiao family, and she thought she would drop by and invite Shiwuniang to return to Prince Ji's residence.

I don't know if he didn't think of this, or if Shiwu Niang refused.

Shiwu Niang was still lying on the bed, looking listless, she didn't mention King Ji's matter, Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't take the initiative to mention it, and made her sad again.

When Xiao Yuzhuo came back from Shiwuniang's place, he saw Zhuxiang and Liu Lanxue still sitting on the porch in her yard.

"I put some laxatives in her cup, and I figured she would have to clean the room at that time... I overturned the clean bucket through the airy window, and she sat on it..." Liu Lanxue smiled and told Zhu Xiang talked about her "criminal process".

Xiao Yuzhuo coughed lightly.

The two maidservants in the corridor were startled.

Liu Lanxue quickly jumped out from the corridor, "Lady, you are not angry with the servant girl, are you? It is just to make her lose face, the servant girl did not hurt her!"

"Young lady who has not left the cabinet, you value face more than life. Aren't you kidding too much? The sisters at home have started to laugh at her. If people outside know it, how can you tell her to behave in the future? ?" Xiao Yuzhuo said in a low voice to Liu Lanxue.

Liu Lanxue hung her head, looked at her toes, and said nothing.

"My lady, the servant girl has inquired about it. King Ji sent a pair of Gu Kaizhi's paintings as a birthday present to the Elder Master." Seeing Liu Lanxue biting her lower lip, Zhu Xiang seemed to be aggrieved, and quickly changed her voice.

Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, and raised his hand to put on Liu Lanxue's shoulder, "I'm not trying to scold you, who wouldn't be angry? I just want to remind you that you are getting older, and you have to be calm and calm when doing things in the future. Today's matter, If anyone sees that you did it, Eighteen Niang will become the object of sympathy for everyone. How stinky she is, your reputation will be stinky. Do you understand?"

Liu Lanxue bit her lower lip and nodded, "My servant understands, lady."

"Well, when you plan others in the future, think about it more, what should you do if the plan falls on yourself?" Xiao Yuzhuo said slowly.

Her tone was not harsh, but Liu Lanxue felt as if a heavy order had fallen on her heart.

Xiao Yuzhuo and Zhuxiang entered the main room.

Mei Xiang was still standing beside her, reaching out and gently tugging at her sleeve.

Liu Lanxue looked up at Mei Xiang, "I... Did I go too far today?"

Mei Xiang sighed softly, "It's also time for Shiba Niang to learn a lesson. She is about to be married to Ji, and now it's for her own good to teach her a lesson in her mother's house! When she comes to her in-law's house in the future, if she offends But no one is merciful to her!"

Liu Lanxue tilted her head, "Then tell me, I've done a good deed?"

Mei Xiang stared at her, "I'm comforting you, but you can't tell?"

"Since it is to comfort me, why not comfort me to the end, why do you have to say it!" Liu Lanxue stomped her feet, pouted her lips and went to the front yard.

Mei Xiang shook her head and smiled, stepped into the main room to wait on her.

When she entered the door, she heard Zhuxiang talking.

"Besides the painting, I heard that there is also a small rosewood box, which King Ji secretly gave to the Elder. As for what's in that box, I haven't been able to see it."

Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Maybe that box is the real congratulatory gift that Prince Ji is going to give today, maybe it's the key."

"The servant girl asked someone to sneak into the courtyard of the long house?" Zhu Xiang whispered, "Keep an eye on the old man, he will always open the box!"

"Then when do you have to keep an eye on it?" Mei Xiang stepped forward and said, "Young lady sent someone to the Grand Master's room earlier, so it's time for her to contribute her strength, right?"

Zhu Xiang was slightly taken aback, "When did the lady send someone to the elder's place? Why doesn't the maidservant know?"

"Why don't you know? When you were still in Wancheng!" Mei Xiang giggled.

Zhu Xiang was stunned for a while before suddenly remembering, "Oh...it's her! The girl from Yanyu Building!"

The elder of the Xiao family beat someone to death in Wancheng, and it was because of that girl.

"The servant girl is going to check her tone!" Zhu Xiang said immediately.

Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "Don't go, go around and send a message to her from outside through the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce."

"We all live in a big house, do we still need to go outside?" Zhu Xiang scratched her head.

Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "It's because I live in the same house that I have to be more careful. Otherwise, if people know, I, as a niece, still inquire about the affairs of my uncle's house, how ugly would it be?"

Zhu Xiang's expression froze, and she nodded again and again, "The servant girl knows."

Uncle Xiao's birthday had passed two or three days before Zhuxiang got some news from the girl in Yanyulou.

"That girl can be regarded as a favorite in the long room, and the elder has to stay with her for three nights in five days!" Zhu Xiang chuckled, "The girl is still a maid in the Yanyu Tower, and now it seems that she has no other skills. Learn less!"

Mei Xiang laughed straight at the side, "I've never eaten pork, and I've been in the Yanyu Building for so long. I can't even keep a man's heart. It's a shame!"

"Speaking of business, have you found out anything?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.

Zhu Xiang hurriedly came forward, knelt and sat beside Xiao Yuzhuo's couch, "I asked, after the birthday, the Elder got a medicine called 'Forget Worry Medicine'. This medicine can soothe the nerves and relieve pain, relieve diarrhea and cough, To worry about worry, but also..."

Zhu Xiang covered her mouth with her hand, and whispered a few words in Xiao Yuzhuo's ear.

Mei Xiang stared curiously, "There is no one else in this room, why are you still carrying me behind your back?"

She reached out and poked Zhuxiang.

Zhuxiang is not afraid of pain, but itchy.

When she poked her like this, Zhu Xiang shrank back and smiled, "I'm not behind your back, don't ask about your little girl's family!"

Mei Xiang was not convinced, "I'm a little girl, so you're not a little girl? Could it be that you're already married and have a family? I can't listen to what you said?"

When Zhu Xiang heard this, her face turned red instantly.

"She can't tell me I can say it!" Xiao Yuzhuo gave Mei Xiang a teasing look, "The 'Forgetting Worry Medicine' can not only relieve cough and relieve asthma, but also strengthen the yang, and increase what others can't do! The woman who made him benevolent completely forgets herself and wants to be immortal. die!"

After Xiao Yuzhuo finished speaking, Mei Xiang immediately raised her hand to cover her face, "My lady..."

This time it was Zhuxiang's turn to laugh at her, "Don't you want to listen? Don't you listen? Why are you so ashamed? Don't cover your face with Meixiang!"

When the two servant girls were laughing, Xiao Yuzhuo lowered his eyes.

Forgetfulness medicine, is it opium that changes the soup without changing the medicine, the skin without changing the bone?

I heard that opium has existed since ancient times, but it has many names.

"Tell her to find a way to get some out and show Juxiang." Xiao Yuzhuo said in a deep voice.

Immediately, Zhu Xiang stopped playing with Mei Xiang, and responded with a serious face.

The elder of the Xiao family took his anxiety medicine very seriously, if it wasn't for the bed, he would be on the verge of excitement.

The girl tried her best, and he was so obsessed with it that he couldn't promise to give her one.

The girl got a worry-free medicine, but she didn't dare to take it privately, and handed it to the person who contacted her.

It was a few days before Xiao Yuzhuo got the Wangyou medicine.

"Look at Juxiang, there is only one pill for this medicine, is there any more, can you tell the ingredients in the medicine?" Xiao Yuzhuo handed the pill to Juxiang.

Ju Xiang took it carefully, put it on the tip of her nose, sniffed it vigorously, then took a little bit off and put it in her mouth to taste.

Xiao Yuzhuo looked at her nervously.

She frowned suddenly, and spat out the medicine with a bah sound.

"The addition of other things is just to cover up the bitterness of the medicine itself, but its actual active ingredient is still medicine." Ju Xiang whispered.

Xiao Yuzhuo snorted, squinted his eyes and said, "So it's just a little less pure?"

Ju Xiang nodded again and again, "My servant has been thinking about this drug these days. In addition, I tried it on cats and dogs before. , will still become addicted, once addicted, I am afraid that it will be difficult to block this medicine."

Xiao Yuzhuo took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

"What does King Ji want to do? Give his own generals to take medicine? He also sent it to the uncle of the Xiao family, and he called it 'forgetfulness medicine'? Who else did he give this medicine? On the Double Ninth Festival, he offered Is it also drug for the saint?" She frowned and wondered.

"Lady, this drug can indeed be used as medicine, and the medicinal effect is very significant. It can relieve cough, asthma, pain, and diarrhea. It can be said to be a very magical medicinal material! It can make people feel full of energy when they are sleepy, and it can also relieve pain. It can make people ignore their worries when they are shrinking from fear." Ju Xiang said in a low voice, "It's not unreasonable to call it Wangyou medicine."

Xiao Yuzhuo looked at Juxiang in shock.

Why is this thing a good thing from her point of view?

"If it weren't for the fact that this thing is extremely addictive, it would be fine to call it a panacea." Ju Xiang said.

Xiao Yuzhuo squinted at her, "A panacea? Do you think so?"

"Actually, sickness and suffering are not the most terrible thing, but the most terrible thing is the dependence of people's hearts." Ju Xiang said, "It is often not the pain that knocks people down, but the despair in their hearts. Most of the people who died of illness felt that they were hopeless. I gave up first, and then I was swallowed by the disease. But this medicine can cure people's diseases, and then capture people's hearts! Only when the medicine's properties accumulate to a certain level, will it slowly kill people."

"Capturing people's hearts?" Xiao Yuzhuo squinted his eyes, "King Ji deliberately lowered the purity of this medicine in order to prevent the medicine from harming uncle's body so quickly, but made him become dependent on this medicine, which in turn caused him rely……"

Ju Xiang nodded, "To put it bluntly, this drug is a chronic poison that cures illnesses for a while and is deadly for a long time."

Mei Xiang was terrified when she heard it, "Just tell the old man through the mouth of others that what he is taking is not good medicine but poison, isn't that all right?"

"But this medicine can bring people a very comforting feeling. That kind of comfort is probably like being rewarded, and the joy of being the number one in the exam, right? Let him experience the feeling of extreme brilliance, do you think this kind of thing is so easy to let go?" Ju Xiang frowned.

"Uncle may still have time to quit the medicine, but how long has it been since the Holy Majesty took the medicine on the Double Ninth Festival?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked with raised eyebrows.

Ju Xiang and Mei Xiang shut their mouths and stared at each other for a moment, but that's not too long a time!

"I remember my uncle has a doctor who is very trustworthy," Xiao Yuzhuo said, "Please ask Mr. Liang to find someone to meet that doctor."

Ju Xiang understood Xiao Yuzhuo's intention.

Let the doctor understand the harm of this medicine to the human body first, and then ask the doctor to persuade the elder of the Xiao family, which is naturally more convincing than other people's persuasion.

"Then tell the general...that's all, I'll tell him myself." Xiao Yuzhuo came to the table and wrote a note to Jing Yannian.

She talked about her worries and the dangers of drugs.She also said that she wanted to find out as soon as possible, what is the gift that King Ji gave to the Holy One?Could it be the drug?

Jing Yannian was also very worried when he received the note.

What Xiao Yuzhuo was worried about was that the Holy Majesty would be controlled by King Ji because of his drug addiction.

But Jing Yannian was more worried about the Holy Majesty's body.

But no matter what, it was the first time for the two of them to both worry about the Holy One.

Jing Yannian has been recuperating at home due to injury.

Because the crown prince hid and didn't show up, King Ji never left in Chang'an.

It is inevitable that King Ji noticed that Jing Yannian and Xiao Yuzhuo acted extra cautiously.

In Daxia, the winter solstice is a very important festival.

From the emperor to the common people, they must sacrifice to ghosts and gods on the winter solstice, praying for blessings and peace.

Its lively and grand, almost in time for New Year's Eve.

At that time, the palace will also give all the officials a holiday, so that all the officials will go to sacrifice and pray for blessings.

Taking advantage of the pre-winter solstice, when everyone in the palace was preparing, Jing Yannian invited Xiao Yuzhuo to enter the palace to pay his respects to the Holy Majesty.

The Holy Majesty is just in the Palace of Defei.

I heard that my son and daughter-in-law came to the palace.

Immediately, Concubine De couldn't hold back her tears.

The Holy Majesty glanced at her, probably because he was in a good mood at the moment, and he smiled and comforted her, "When King Ji puts down the rebel army and Nian'er's injury is healed, I will allow them to get married. Nian'er's child, Have you seen it? Nian'er's facial features and face shape are almost carved out of the same mold!"

Concubine De felt anxious when she heard about her grandson, and looked at the Holy Majesty with teary eyes.

Although she didn't speak, she could have tears in her eyes, but it seemed like a silent accusation.

The Holy Majesty glanced at her, and couldn't help but soften his heart, "Another day, another day, I will ask Mrs. Xiao to bring the child into the palace to show you!"

Concubine De hurriedly wiped her tears, "Thank you, Your Majesty, but... it's unnecessary."

"Huh? No need? You don't even want to see your own grandson?" asked the Holy One.

Concubine De sobbed, "It's precisely because I miss you that I dare not see you. How can you see someone whose name is not right now?"

The Holy Majesty took a look at her and saw that she was gentle and quiet, although she was older, she was more charming, so he couldn't help but softly said: "Whether the name is right or not, and whether the word is right or not, is it up to me?"

Concubine De looked up at the Holy Majesty in surprise.

Crystal tears slid down her face, she was quiet and looked extraordinarily charming.

I am used to seeing the soft and charming beauties who can act like a baby in the palace.

Occasionally, I look at the dignified and quiet Concubine De, who is virtuous and noble, and has a unique style.

"I pass on my decree that Concubine De has no children. The King of Wu is loyal, upright, pure and obedient. He can recognize Concubine De as his godmother and do his best to be filial to Concubine De." The Holy Majesty said with a smile.

Concubine De was taken aback when she heard this.

Originally thought that one day the Holy Majesty would reveal Jing Yannian's identity as the prince.

Don't want his mother to become a godmother when he opened his mouth like this?The identity of the prince still has to be hidden?

"Isn't it justifiable to ask Mrs. Xiao to bring his grandson to see you?" The Holy One said with a smile.

Concubine De felt a little blocked.

He was clearly a biological grandson, but now he has become a god-grandson.

Whether it's good or bad, she has to thank Enna.

Concubine De quickly stood up and kowtowed her thanks.

The Holy Majesty waved her hand to wake her up, Jing Yannian was waiting for the Holy Majesty in the front palace, before seeing the Holy Majesty, he became the godson of Concubine De.

After Xiao Yuzhuo bowed his head to pay respects to the sage who came slowly, he was directly led by the palace servants, and went to the inner palace to pay respects to the Concubine De.

Although she is not remarried to Jing Yannian, but the grace of the Holy Majesty is here, so naturally what the Holy Majesty says is what it is.

Concubine De was unhappy.

Xiao Yuzhuo was quite happy.

"My lady, don't you want your majesty to recognize the identity of the general's prince?" Mei Xiang asked Xiao Yuzhuo secretly, seeing that the palace people were far away.

Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "If you're not a prince, it's too bad that King Ji is jealous and took the opportunity to assassinate! If you know this level of identity, why don't you go crazy and want to do harm?"

Mei Xiang sighed for a while.

Xiao Yuzhuo entered the palace with Jing Yannian this time because he wanted to see the state of the Holy Majesty.

Now that I can see Empress Concubine De, that's even better!Ask Concubine De, isn't it more grounded than guessing?

"Greetings to Empress De Concubine." Xiao Yuzhuo was introduced into the hall of Concubine De by the palace people, and hurriedly saluted.

Concubine De has not seen her daughter-in-law for a long time, and when they saw each other again, it was almost a life and death lapse!

Looking at it this way, she couldn't hold back her tears without saying a word.

The palace servants beside Empress Defei whispered in her ear, "Your Majesty, call the Princess to get up first."

Concubine De quickly raised her hand, choked with sobs and said, "Get up quickly."

Only then did Xiao Yuzhuo stand up straight, and she raised her eyes to look at Concubine De.

When we met for the last time, we were still in another courtyard outside the city.

Concubine De is just an ordinary woman, and her temperament can tell that she is well-bred.

Goodbye now, but I have become a high-ranking empress.The whole body is luxurious and looks even more radiant.

"Let's all go down, I'll talk to the Princess." De Fei Empress said slowly.

All the people in the palace withdrew.

Mei Xiang and Zhu Xiang also retreated outside the hall and stood at the door.

Only Ju Xiang still stood beside Xiao Yuzhuo, bowed her head and remained silent.

Empress Defei took a look at Juxiang.

Xiao Yuzhuo said, "Concubine Concubine De, this is my personal servant girl, who understands medical principles and some medical skills."

Empress Defei nodded, "You don't need to be polite to me, no matter if I'm a commoner or an empress in the palace, to me, the best thing to hear is when you call me mother."

Xiao Yuzhuo was startled when he heard this.

"When a person lives to my age, many things are taken lightly. What about the glory and high position? Is it true that rich clothes and fine food are more comfortable than simple food?" Concubine De slowly shook her head, "The palace is tired..."

She sighed.

Only then did Xiao Yuzhuo realize that although her face was well maintained, there were still some gray hairs on her temples.

I remember that when she lived in another hospital, Madam Jing was kind-hearted and often laughed, her hair was full of black hair, not a single variegated color was dyed.

It's just three years since I saw him, and he looks a little old.

"You have to be careful when you speak and do things in the palace, it really takes a lot of effort." Xiao Yuzhuo said.

Empress Defei nodded, "I heard that the child is lively and healthy, and his nickname is Chongwu?"

During the interrogation, the eyes of Empress Defei were full of kindness and expectation.

Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "Xiuyuan named him Jing Yi, and nicknamed Chongwu because he was born on the Dragon Boat Festival. He's so cute, next time I'll bring him to show my mother."

The title "Empress Concubine De Fei" almost blurted out, Xiao Yuzhuo paused, and became a mother instead.

Let's talk to comfort Concubine De's heart.

Sure enough, the smile on Concubine De's face was much more friendly and soft.

After chatting for a while about Chongwu and her life in Wancheng these years, Xiao Yuzhuo asked, "Mother, do you know what gift King Ji offered to the Holy One on the day of the Double Ninth Festival? Has the Holy One been in good health recently?" What kind of discomfort?"

Ju Xiang, who was silent at the side, knelt and sat up straight after hearing the words, listening intently.

Concubine De frowned suspiciously, "I don't know what King Ji sent, but the Holy Majesty's body...doesn't seem to be anything wrong?"

Seeing the disappointment on Xiao Yuzhuo's and Juxiang's faces, she turned around and said, "No, the main reason is that the Holy Majesty will not be resting in my palace now, he only comes to sit and listen to me play the piano on weekdays. , said a few words and left, not even...not even holding my hand..."

Empress Defei said this, she was a little embarrassed, after all, she was very old.

But seeing Xiao Yuzhuo and Juxiang's eager eyes, she felt that speaking out seemed to be useful to them.

"There are many young and beautiful beauties in the palace, the Holy Majesty is now more likely to look up the brand of young beauties." Concubine De said.

The Holy Majesty is really blessed. Older women who have memories of him use it to recall the past.

A young and beautiful woman with no memory, just use it to enjoy her body.

Xiao Yuzhuo snorted very unhappily.

"Especially those beauties from Wancheng are the most favorite of the Holy One, and they are often asked to sleep with them. I can still have a few words with that woman named Fu Que. Why don't I try to find out what she has to say? Concubine De frowned and asked, "I'm just afraid that if I talk too much, I will be suspected instead. What does Yuyu want me to ask?"

Xiao Yuzhuo was worried that Mrs. Jing would be involved. It would be very bad if King Ji was afraid of Mrs. Jing, or hurt her again.

"No need, mother doesn't need to ask about this matter personally, Xiu Yuan and I should use other methods to find out!" Xiao Yuzhuo said.

Concubine De sighed softly, "I'm in the palace, but I can't help you with anything, I can't even help you take care of your children..."

She was about to cry as she spoke.

Xiao Yuzhuo was also particularly sad, "Mother, don't say that, I will bring Chong Wu to the palace to see you in the future."

Concubine De nodded repeatedly.

"By the way, mother, if someone gives you some medicine, saying that it can prolong your life, keep your youth forever, etc., you must not try it lightly, you must ask Ju Xiang to read it before you talk about it!" said such a sentence.

Ju Xiang also solemnly nodded in salute.

Concubine De nodded, "Don't worry, food can be eaten indiscriminately, how can medicine be taken indiscriminately?"
