Chapter 275: Turnaround
Xia Nishang didn't pay attention to the matter of Leng Yechenlu and Leng Yexuan, after all, these things were so important in her eyes.
This matter was originally a matter of their father and son. Although Xia Nishang is the mother of the country, she is also the queen mother of Leng Yechenlu. But Xia Nishang knew that from the way Leng Yechenlu looked at her, she knew that Leng Yechenlu didn't regard her as a mother at all.
Perhaps, in Leng Yechenlu's heart, she is a bad woman who does all kinds of evil and bothers to hurt his mother.
"Mother, you're back." As soon as he stepped into the gate of Qifeng Palace, he saw Er Lan, who he hadn't seen for several days, guarding the door. As soon as she saw Xia Nishang come in, her eyes were full of surprise.
"Why did you come out, but what's the matter with Ting'er?" Xia Nishang stepped forward and grabbed Er Lan's hand, looked carefully up and down, left and right, and saw that she was all right, and then she spoke.
Tears flashed in Er Lan's eyes, looking at Xia Nishang's actions of looking her up and down, it was impossible not to be moved.
Er Lan's voice was slightly choked, and she turned around at Xia Nishang and said comfortingly.
"Queen Mother, everything is fine with the slave, don't worry." Er Lan said with a smile, although there were still tears on her face, but there was always a thick smile in her eyes. "The Seventh Prince is also very good, the fever has subsided, and the imperial doctor said that there is nothing to do."
"Are you telling the truth?" Xia Nishang listened to Er Lan's words and became very excited. The day before yesterday, the imperial doctor also said that although Leng Yechenting's current condition has stabilized, he can't meet yet, so as not to be infected. But now Er Lan told her that her son has nothing to do, how can she make Xia Nishang not excited?
"It's true, mother." Er Lan took Xia Nishang's hand and said very happily. Such a long time of hard work has not been in vain, and she is very happy. As long as the Seventh Prince has nothing to do, then the queen mother's mood will definitely improve. "The slave came to pick you up on purpose, let's go and see the Seven Princes together."
"Hurry, hurry." Xia Nishang happily pulled Er Lan and Ran Tian towards the palace where the cold night thunder lived behind.
Leng Ye Chenting had just drunk milk and was lying on the big bed, looking around. Seeing Xia Nishang and a few of them coming in, they wanted to sit up with their teeth and claws. If it weren't for the fact that he was young and his bones were still very soft, looking at that posture, he would really pounce.
Xia Nishang was so frightened that she hurriedly rushed forward, hugged his soft body tightly, leaned on her face, and kissed him gently.
She hadn't seen her son for more than half a month, how could she restrain her emotions, and the delicate makeup on her face was wet with tears. For a moment, I couldn't cry anymore.
Before Leng Yechen Ting understood what was going on, he was tightly hugged by his mother, and the whole person was stunned.
Fortunately, Er Lan and Ran Tian on the side were still sober, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them.
"Niangniang, the Seventh Prince is just getting better, but I don't want to hold it like this." Er Lan comforted Xia Nishang while taking Cold Night Chenting from her arms.
I don't know if it's because of the interdependence of the past few days, Leng Yechen Ting saw Er Lan, like a child who saw candy, and suddenly threw himself into her arms, and gently rubbed Er Lan's cheek with his little face.
"He's a good one." Xia Nishang watched her son switch to someone else's arms. On the one hand, I feel that he is a lot more sensible, and I know that Er Lan has been busy taking care of him in the past few days. On the other hand, he was slightly sad, after all, the child was still so young, and he didn't see him for a long time, and he didn't recognize it.
"Look at Niangniang, our Seven Princes are the smartest." Ran Tian saw the sourness in Xia Nishang's eyes, and hurriedly said on the side.
"That's it, the mother still eats the vinegar of the slave." Er Lan also understood, and said with a smile. He also hugged Leng Yechen Ting and asked him to touch his mother's arm.
Xia Nishang looked at her son's small soft fingers and gently crossed her arm, the taste in her heart can be imagined, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.
"Look at Niangniang, the Seven Princes are all fine, but they can't cry anymore, otherwise the Seven Princes will be unhappy." Ran Tian wiped the tears from the corners of Xia Nishang's eyes and said comfortingly.
"That's right, our seven princes, I like to see the queen mother laugh the most, don't you?" Er Lan hugged Leng Ye Chenting and said with a smile.
I don't know if Leng Ye Chenting understood what Er Lan said, but he clapped his hands and looked at Xia Nisheng, babbling happily and saying things that everyone couldn't understand.
"Oh, but I feel sorry for my mother." Xia Nishang only felt that her heart was about to melt, so she took the cold night Chenting in Er Lan's hand and hugged her arms, but she was reluctant to let go.
"Queen Mother, why don't we cook something delicious tonight, and also celebrate that the Seven Princes have finally recovered." Er Lan looked at the happy scene of their mother and son, and couldn't help but propose.
However, the suggestion she said also has a purpose. After all, there are many palace maids and eunuchs who have been busy with her for most of the month, and they have always taken care of Leng Yechen Ting very intimately. If it weren't for them, I'm afraid that Cold Night Chenting wouldn't be so fast.
Er Lan also wants Xia Nishang to treat these palace maids and eunuchs well, so that they will be even more desperate in the future.
In fact, Xia Nishang has thought about this matter for a long time. It's just that as soon as he saw his son jumping around, he left everything behind. Now when she heard Er Lan mention it, she couldn't help but knock on her head.
"That's how it should be. Everyone has worked so hard to take care of Ting'er, and this palace can't let them down. Xia Nishang nodded. Follow you to take care of Ting'er, everyone will pay an extra year's monthly money! ”
Although the palace maid's monthly money is not much, she also has two or three taels of silver a month. These two or three taels of silver are enough for an ordinary family to chew for half a year.
Xia Nishang rewarded them with a year's monthly money at once, plus those palace maids and eunuchs stayed in the palace, and there was no place to spend money, which was great news.
"Yes, Queen." Er Lanyan said with a smile. Xia Nishang has always cared about the money, of course Er Lan knows all this, otherwise, she would not be able to say these things.
"Ran Tian, you go and ask the kitchenette to prepare more of their favorite food." Xia Nishang hugged her son and was reluctant to let go, but she didn't forget to tell Ran Tian. "These dishes are all deducted from the monthly salaries in the palace, and we must let the people in our palace eat well."
"Don't worry, this matter will be left to the slave to do." Ran Tian said jokingly on the side. "I'm sure I'll let Sister Erlan eat what she likes."
"Niangniang, look at Sister Ran Tian, the slave and maid you are talking about seem to be so able to eat!" Er Lan, who was watching Xia Nishang from the side, heard this, but she stopped doing it, and said to Xia Nishang half coquettishly.
"Then the palace will punish you for dyeing Tian, how about it?" Xia Nishang watched the two maids playing around her, and she was also happy to accompany them, so she pretended to think and said.
When she saw that Er Lan and Ran Tian were both blinking at her, Xia Nishang lightly opened her lips and said.
"Just punish Ran Tian, you personally make a dish that Er Lan loves to eat. If it's not delicious, this palace doesn't follow. Xia Nishang was still holding back, but after finishing speaking, she couldn't help laughing.
Ran Tian on the side also looked at Er Lan with a smile, but Er Lan blushed, and looked at Xia Nishang and Ran Tian with a shy face.
"Niangniang is used to bullying slaves and maids with Sister Rantian, and the slaves and maids are gone!"
Xia Nishang was already a lot better, but when she heard Dellan talk like this, she couldn't stop laughing at all. The whole person was trembling constantly, and even the hand holding Leng Yechen Ting couldn't stop shaking.
Leng Ye Chenting didn't know what was going on, maybe he thought that the queen mother was playing with him, so he clapped his hands on the side and applauded.
All of a sudden, the room was filled with laughter and joy.
In the evening, Xia Nishang really fulfilled her promise, not only rewarding those palace people with monthly money, but also giving them a lot of dishes that they rarely can eat on weekdays, and personally promised that each of them could take a three-day vacation and have a good rest.
The palace maids and eunuchs in Qifeng Palace were all grateful. They originally thought it would be a thankless job, although they all worked hard to do it, but they didn't expect Xia Nishang to be really so generous.
Suddenly, they became more convinced and loyal to Xia Nishang.
Throughout the night, the laughter in Qifeng Palace seemed to have never stopped. The palace was brightly lit, and all the palace maids and eunuchs were happily sitting together, enjoying this rare carnival.
In a corner of the palace, though. On the ground outside the palace, there stood a woman dressed in pale pink. Did she look up at the moon in the sky, listening to the laughter that had not stopped in her ears, and her face was gradually dyed with a mocking smile.
"Xia Nishang, I want to see how long you can laugh."
The pale yellow chrysanthemums on her hands became scattered with the force of her fingertips. The broken petals, with the autumn wind, drifted to all corners of the palace, as if they had never existed.
The woman stood for a moment, then got up and went back, leaving only the broken path on the ground.
