Chapter 222 Situation
In the afternoon, Li Chengze changed into Jifu and went to have dinner with the emperor. By the way, he talked about Yunnan affairs. Huilan wanted to mention the hard work of the soldiers more than himself. Asking for credit for the soldiers without mentioning himself also showed that he was selfless. The emperor must also
Don't forget his contribution, don't rush to express yourself, be more calm.
Huilan changed Sister Xin into a bright red Hunan skirt, and went to Cining Palace with gifts to pay her respects to the Queen Mother.
Peony has been waiting at the door for a long time, "Greetings to Liangdi and greetings to Princess Shuxian."
"Hello sister, sister is so beautiful."
Sister Xin is the most cunning. She goes to Fengshan Town every day to play, and she always exchanges favors and polite greetings. She has a sweet little mouth. She has red lips, white teeth, and is cute. Anyone who sees her is willing to touch and tease her.
As time goes by, I have learned to say how beautiful you are when you see a girl, and say how awesome your uncle is when you see a guy. You are absolutely right.
"The princess is the most beautiful. Come on, let's go to see the Queen Mother. When the princess enters, she has to kowtow and salute and wish the ancestors well. Do you understand?"
Mudan immediately fell in love with Sister Xin's cuteness and beauty, and without hesitation told her what to do to avoid offending the Queen Mother's taboo.
"Thank you, sister. My mother and concubine taught me when I was at home. I remember to kowtow to my ancestors and say hello."
Sister Xin answered her loudly.
"Princess is so smart, let's go."
Peony held her hand and walked in.
"Queen Mother, look who's coming, our princess is back."
As soon as Peony entered the door, she shouted with a smile and brought the person in directly.
Huilan also entered the door and bowed her head to pay homage. Sister Xin also knelt down and kowtowed to say hello.
"My concubine, Ding, sends her greetings to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is happy."
"Sister Xin sends her greetings to our ancestors, wishing them happiness, longevity, and health."
"Okay, get up quickly, good boy, come to our ancestors."
The Queen Mother also looked happy when she saw the mother and daughter, and waved to Sister Xin very happily.
"Hello, ancestor. I am Sister Xin. I brought a gift to my ancestor."
Sister Xin stood in front of the Queen Mother and said hello before taking out her little gift.
"Oh, there are also gifts. What did you bring to your ancestors?"
The Queen Mother was immediately interested. This child was well taught, polite and not afraid of strangers. He looked at you with big eyes, and his heart melted.
Sister Xin took out a purse and said, "This is the purse embroidered by my mother-in-law. I picked the flowers in it myself, dried them in the sun and put them in. They are very fragrant. Smell them, they smell so good. I have been preparing them for a long time."
, given to you."
His fat little hands held the purse and handed it to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother took the purse with a soft heart. Although she was not a child, her heart was very sincere.
"Okay, this is the best gift our ancestors have ever received. The Ai family likes it very much. Come and talk to our ancestors, okay?"
"good."
Sister Xin asked Mudan to carry her to the imperial concubine's bed, and sat in the Queen Mother's arms. She smiled so hard that the Queen Mother hugged her and refused to let go.
"Your Majesty, this child is not afraid of things. He goes out to play every day in Fengshan Town. He is as wild as a monkey. Don't be surprised."
Huilan smiled and explained.
"My little darling is doing very well. The Ai family has heard about what happened in Fengshan Town. It's hard for you. The prince did a good job this time, and you have a share of the credit."
"I don't dare to take it seriously. It's because His Highness and the soldiers fought very hard. The environment there is hot and humid, and many soldiers are not used to it. It's true that they suffered a lot. If we really want to be rewarded, the soldiers should be ranked first.
"
Huilan smiled and was polite, first mentioning the hard work of the soldiers.
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, "What you said is correct. There will be awards from the previous dynasty, and the emperor will not forget the meritorious officials."
"Yes. I brought you some local specialties from Yunnan and some gadgets when I came back this time. You can keep them to keep them fresh."
"Okay, you're interested."
"My ancestors still have the dried fruits that I chose. I picked them for you. They are delicious."
Sister Xin pulled the Queen Mother's clothes to take credit.
"Oh, that's right. My little darling is so filial. My ancestors must try it."
"Um."
The Queen Mother asked about Yunnan again, and Huilan picked some interesting and not-so-bloody things to talk to her about. After chatting for an hour, the Queen Mother got tired, and Huilan came out with Sister Xin in her arms.
After returning to Qinghui Garden, Huilan had time to sit down and said, "Take Sister Xin down to rest."
"yes."
Sister Xin was also sleepy. She rubbed her eyes and was taken away by the nanny.
Huilan took a sip of spiritual tea before saying, "Xiao Yuanzi, tell me what happened in the East Palace in the past two years."
"Yes, after you and His Highness left, it was calm at first and nothing major happened. But in the second half of the year, during the Chinese New Year, there was news. Someone put food in Wang Qin and Yu Ning's diet in an attempt to make the children sick. As a result, they were killed by the mother.
Found.
Soon someone also started to attack Linhua Palace. Qian was annoyed and found out some clues that they wanted to take away a child. Ma also got the news, so naturally he couldn't let her get her wish, so they started fighting, back and forth.
Everyone was left with nothing, so they were scolded by the Queen Mother.
When the child got older, Qian didn't know who heard someone say something, saying that the eldest son was unusual, so she took the child with her to greet the Queen Mother. Unfortunately, the child was a little shy and the Queen Mother didn't like it. Later, she couldn't even enter the door.
Yes, I refused to show up several times."
"Well, has anyone come to deliver account books or something like that today, or have Qian and others been here?"
"Going back to the master, no one has been here, and no servant from any courtyard has come to say hello."
Xiao Yuanzi told the truth.
"My heart is big."
Grandma Yan sighed and said.
"Okay, I understand."
Huilan pursed her lips and nodded with an unhappy expression. Qian was used to living a life of being unsupervised and favored by others, and she didn't want to give back her rights, so she kept shrinking her head and keeping silent.
"If she doesn't give it to us, it's hard to come and ask for it. It looks too ugly. Otherwise, let's talk to His Highness."
"No, let's wait for His Highness's intention."
Huilan smiled and didn't care. Sooner or later, Qian would understand that she had never been in charge of the East Palace.
Li Chengze came back after dinner and drank a few glasses of wine until he was still drunk.
Huilan prepared a large bowl of hangover soup for him.
"Have the account books been delivered? Has Mr. Qian come to pay his respects?"
After drinking the hangover soup, Li Chengze remembered this and asked.
"No one came over, and I didn't even show my face. Your Highness, it was okay at first after you left. Later, Mr. Qian and Mr. Ma took the medicine directly from our medicine cabinet in Qinghui Garden. If they didn't have to register a sum, they wouldn't even have it."
I don’t even want to take my fingerprints. There are a lot less medicines in the medicine cabinet, so anyone can get something from Qinghui Garden.”
Qiuyun was very unhappy and complained, saying that it would be fine if he didn't give it. We are the masters and we are the slaves.
"The medicine in the medicine cabinet was taken away?"
When Huilan came back, she didn't bother to ask carefully.
"Master, I can't do it without giving it. It was Grandma Yan who came forward to ask for signatures and fingerprints. Later, Mr. Qian came to get the medicinal materials. She said it was more convenient than going to the Imperial Hospital. We are the slaves of the East Palace. If the Prince is not here, don't cause trouble elsewhere.
Already."
Qiu Yun pouted in grievance. Wasn't he just bullying his master? He didn't dare to go to the imperial doctor, so he repeatedly took medicine from Qinghui Garden for his own convenience.
"I agreed. Zhou Ying did something to the child. I didn't hide away twice. If I didn't give the medicine, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to explain it clearly when I came back. However, every transaction was recorded in detail and signed with a fingerprint. It was Qian's own fingerprint.
Mr. Li also came to ask for it, and I gave it to him, but the request was that he had to press his fingerprints in person, and the slaves who came here do not count."
