"Just now I sent Yang Meiren back, and Yang Meiren's tears have not dried. The slave didn't know how to persuade her, so she had to follow this silently. Who knew that after crossing the bridge and walking not far away, Yang Meiren's legs were weak and she was about to fall. Zihao doesn't talk much, and his voice is thin when he speaks, but every word is very clear.

Shu E and the others were taken aback, and Zihao continued: "The slave and maid hold on hard, and ask Yang Meiren to sit and rest on the stone bench on the side of the road." When Yang Meiren came to her senses, she said to me, 'Don't take the girl to heart if she loses her honor today.' I hurriedly said no, and said that the little princess will grow up safely. Behold...... Who knew that it was such a casual sentence, and Yang Meiren cried again. She said, 'The little princess was only eight months old when she was born, and I was frightened into premature birth when there was a big change in the palace. I didn't listen to the imperial doctor's persuasion and insisted on giving birth to a child, but I ...... I can't have children anymore! ’”

Shu'e and Lilac both exclaimed "oh", and Hua Fu was also very stunned.

After a long time, Shu E sighed: "No wonder she said that Ruyue is her only hope, and what did she say that there is nothing to come out of this life...... But it turned out to be ...... That's right. Sun Niangzi, have you heard of this? ”

Hua Fu said: "Yang Meiren was a princess who gave birth in Yuqing Palace back then......"

"Yuqing Palace?" Shu E was shocked again. "Could it be the change that Yang Meiren refers to, it is ......"

"I heard that the fire in Yuqing Palace made Yang Meiren almost die, so she was frightened and gave birth." Hua Fu said: "Yang Mei was born one day, and the princess was born. But as for Yang Meiren's inability to have children, the slave maid didn't know. ”

Shu E nodded, looked at Lilac and Zihao and said, "This matter involves privacy, presumably it is very strictly concealed in the palace, and you should not say it." ”

Zihao continued: "After Yang Meiren said this, she suddenly realized that she was busy saying to me, 'Miss Zihao, I think of the past, my heart is sad, and I lost my words for a while, so don't take it to heart. Later, I sent her to the Flower House, and when I got to the door, she wiped her tears and asked me if there were any traces of crying on my face. ”

Shu E interjected: "Yang Meiren's love for her daughter is touching. ”

Zihao nodded and said, "Yang Meiren plucked a golden hairpin off her head and handed it to the slave maid. As he spoke, he took out a golden hairpin from his sleeve and held it in both hands for Shu'e to see. The hairpin is a common style among the concubines in the palace, and Shu'e herself also received one. The hairpin is a flower made of pure gold, about the size of an egg, the petals are lifelike, and the stamens are carved out little by little, which is very fine.

Shu E asked, "Has she said anything?" ”

"Nope. Just gave the hairpin to the slave maid, the slave maid first refused to accept it, she insisted on the medicine slave maid to accept, and then took me in, but the princess was not in the main hall, Yang Meiren went in to look at the princess, came out and told me that the princess was tired of playing, and was breastfeeding, let me come back to Mrs. I took my leave and came back. Zihao said.

Shu E nodded and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, you can take it alive." Do you understand what Yang Meiren means? ”

"Yang Meiren doesn't want the slave to go out and talk more." Zihao said. Shu E secretly praised in her heart, sure enough, she was the one who was going to follow Cao Shuyan into the palace.

In this way, the matter will be closed for the time being.

After dinner, Shu'e's only son sat under the lamp, writing and drawing with a pen. Lilac saw that Shu'e seemed to be very embarrassed, so she asked what was the matter. "I want to make some rice wine, but I don't know where to get koji," Shu said. ”

Lilac smiled: "Didn't the Queen Mother and the Emperor appreciate a lot of good wine after moving here, why did you think of making rice wine again?" You've never been a drinker. ”

Shu E smiled: "If I say a word in everything, you always have a string of words waiting for me." How do you know that I make wine for drinking? Besides, even if I was a beginner, I didn't dare to drink it, even if I made wine. ”

Lilac Qi said: "It's not used to drink, but what is it used for?" ”

"I'll surprise you when the time comes, but I won't tell you at this moment." Shu E sighed: "It's just that there is no koji, everything is nonsense." ”

Lilac hurriedly said: "It's not easy to ask for koji, there will always be a place in the pharmacy and kitchen." I'll help you find it tomorrow. ”

Sure enough, on the second day, Lilac found two taels of koji from the big kitchen of Yujin Garden, and came back, not only with koji, but also with the recipe for making rice wine, which was also copied in detail. Shu E smiled and praised the lilac for her magical powers, just ask for a few dollars, how did she get so much. Lilac smiled: "Where is my supernatural power, the father-in-law of the imperial kitchen heard that you wanted, so he hurriedly sent someone to get it, I waited for a tea time, and I was impatient, but the father-in-law came out, but he even had a prescription." ”

Shu E only smiled bitterly when she heard this, and handed a prescription to Lilac, and asked her to go back to Huadongyang, and take some according to the amount, only saying that it was for medicinal wine.

What is written on the recipe is: 10 cloves, half a cardamom, 5 coins for roses, 8 coins for fragrant herbs, 8 coins for cinnamon, one tael of fragrant pine, and 5 coins for patchouli.

Lilac smiled: "Why am I also on the square?" Then he frowned and said, "What are you, spices are not spices, and medicinal wine is not medicinal wine." ”

"You just have to go." Shu E said. "By the way, Sister Lilac, do we still have any musk?"

"Musk? There are still some in Yong'an Hall, but after the Dragon Boat Festival, I don't make sachets, so I put them away strictly. I didn't even think about bringing it here. Lilac said.

Shu E took the paper in Lilac's hand again, and followed it up in the most coquettish: Musk, a penny.

After receiving the medicine, Shu E started to drink. Hua Fu and the others all looked at it secretly.

Shu E ordered the small kitchen to clean the rice, steam it, put it in a jar, and seal the jar tightly.

In the next few days, Shu E went to Lanchuan in the morning, or sat down with a talented person. In the afternoon, Yang Meiren will take Ruyue to sit in the pavilion of Shu'e's bamboo forest.

Shu E didn't know what a two-year-old child should look like, but Ruyue was clever and smart, and although she spoke a little slowly, she was very clear. Coupled with the appearance of being born with pink makeup, it is even more reluctant. Shu E and Ruyue are together, and they are often amused by her. Shu E has grown so big, it is the first time that someone has played with her like this, she is very happy, and she is very obedient to Ruyue's temperament, pretending to make a grimace and sticking out her tongue, which makes Ruyue very happy.

The nurse is still the two nurses, Wu is obviously a little trembling when she holds Ruyue, but Qian is still the same as always, as if nothing has happened.

It's just the smile on Yang Meiren's face, but it's as faint as a day. Sometimes I obviously looked at Ruyue and Shu E smiling, but the next moment, my eyes turned red again.
