After Xia Ji returned to the bamboo garden, she divided the boiled Chinese medicine into three parts early the next morning, prepared them, put them in antibiotic pills to dissolve, and when the queen mother's maid came to get the medicine, she told them to take them in the morning, noon and evening.

After a few days of doing this, on the third day, the maid who came to get the medicine reported that the queen mother had greatly improved and was able to get out of bed and walk around.

Early in the morning of the seventh day, Xia Ji prepared the queen mother's medicine as usual, but the queen mother's maid was delayed, and it was not until three o'clock that the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the courtyard gate, but it was not the maid who came that day, but the second carriage and a large group of cavalry guards - it turned out that the queen mother came to Zhuyuan in person accompanied by Concubine Hui.

The Queen Mother came in person, this is something that Uncle Xia Yu has never experienced, and Uncle Xia Yu and Xia Ji hurried to the gate to greet them after hearing about it.

The Queen Mother stepped out of the carriage with the support of her personal maid, and saw that she was like two people in the sickbed, and it seemed that she had basically recovered.

Uncle Xia and his wife welcomed the Queen Mother into the lobby, Xia Ji personally served tea to the Queen Mother and the king, and after the guests and hosts sat down, the Queen Mother said to Uncle Xia: "Uncle Xia Yu, you are a blessing for several lifetimes, the daughter-in-law you married is more beautiful than a fairy, not to mention, she is so smart and icy, the imperial doctors in the palace now want to worship her as a teacher."

"The Queen Mother has won the award, how can this little illness shake the health of the Queen Mother?" Uncle Xia Yu said.

"You can't say that, the mourning family knows in their hearts, if it weren't for Xia Ji this time, we would probably be separated by yin and yang now." The Queen Mother said.

"The Queen Mother is auspicious, and her longevity is still long." Natsuhime said.

"But Xia Ji, according to the first assistant imperial doctor, the prescription you prescribed is the same as the Xiaoqinglong soup prescription he prescribed to the mourning family before, the strange thing is that the medicine he prescribed has no effect at all, but the prescription you prescribed is immediate, and the medicine is eliminated, why?"

"There is a way that illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread, maybe the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor is to lay the foundation for the medicine prescribed by the concubine to play a role." Natsuhime said.

"Well, maybe there is a little, but the mourning family is also a good doctor after a long illness, it is said that the effect of the medicine works and the mourning family knows, but only your medicine surprises the mourning family, the effect is too amazing, the first auxiliary imperial doctor said that you have given medicine to work, but there is such a thing?" The Queen Mother said.

"Queen Mother, this can be regarded as a little secret of the concubine's body, there was a strange method when I was a child, but this recipe is only useful for occasional typhoid fever, and it varies from person to person." Natsuhime said.

"Oh, there's a trick, Natsuhime is really fairy-like. The king was very happy to see that the mourning family had recovered from a serious illness, and asked me to hand over a bounty of one thousand taels to you, and the mourning family also brought you some jewelry, as well as some small toys and longevity locks for your children, don't dislike it. The Queen Mother said, and ordered the three boxes to be carried up.

"We are deeply touched by what you gave to our children, but how can we afford such a valuable reward from the Queen Mother and the king?" Uncle Xia Yu and Xia Ji both bowed to the ground.

"This is your deserved reward, and if we don't give it to you, we will have no peace in our hearts." The Queen Mother said.

When Uncle Xia Yu and Xia Ji saw the Queen Mother say this, they had to thank him and accept it.

"Uncle Xia Yu, I heard that your family's cooking skills are good, and the mourning family has lunch at your house today, can you?" The Queen Mother said again.

"The Queen Mother's visit is the glory of the Xia family, and it is too late for Weichen to be happy to serve the Queen Mother." Uncle Xia Yu said.

"Good. The mourning family whispers to your daughter-in-law, and you go and prepare. The Queen Mother said.

"Empress Dowager Xie." Uncle Xia Yu said, retreated, and asked Jiang Wei to arrange a feast.

"Xia Ji, I heard that you became a mother, and the mourning family really wanted to go and see your son, but the mourning family had just recovered from a serious illness and was worried that it would be bad for the child, so I won't look at him today. You just got some jade and toys for him, you won't care, will you? The Queen Mother said.

"The Queen Mother is thinking about the concubine and the child, and she gave a heavy reward, and Xia Ji is grateful." Natsuhime said.

"Xia Ji, I heard Concubine Hui say that you want to accompany her to Wu Kingdom?" The Queen Mother asked.

"The concubine just wants to see the prosperity of Gusu." Xia Ji saw the Queen Mother asking about this, and I don't know if she was for or against.

"Yes, if the mourning family is a few years younger, they also want to walk around, but the years are not forgiving."

"The Queen Mother is still in her prime, and it is okay to go out for a cruise." Natsuhime said.

"The boat is tired, and the mourning family is no longer able to do it. It is right for you to take advantage of your youth and go out for a walk more, so as not to be helpless at such an age as the mourning family. Concubine Hui, when are you going to leave? The Queen Mother said.

"Go back to the Queen Mother to ask questions, and the concubine is ready to leave in three days." Concubine Hui said.

"Xia Ji, you want to accompany Concubine Hui to Wu Kingdom to have a look, does Uncle Xia Yu agree to let you go?" The Queen Mother asked.

"The concubine hasn't told him yet." Natsuhime said.

"If you don't have children, he shouldn't object, but you've just given birth, so you still have to think about it, okay?"

"I shouldn't be out of the way, kid, right?" Xia Ji said, in fact, she also knew in her heart that the child was so young, and it was indeed a little inappropriate to travel far away, but the mood to find Qu Hao was so urgent that she could only overcome difficulties to solve it.

The Queen Mother asked Xia Ji about the status of some children and talked about some topics related to parenting.

At this time, it was already noon, Jiang Wei had already prepared a banquet, and Uncle Xia Yu came over to invite the Queen Mother and Concubine Hui to the banquet.

The guests and hosts sat down behind their respective desks, and Jiang Weiren ordered the dishes to be served to everyone in turn, and at this time, Xia Ji took out the bottle of Red Star Erguotou liquor bought from Da Mao's house.

"Queen Mother, this is a bottle of liquor that I bought a few days ago with a lot of money in someone else's hands, the name of this wine is Erguotou, and it comes from overseas." Natsuhime said.

"Oh, it's just such a small bottle of wine, it's not enough for one person, right? But why is this wine so bright? Like mountain spring water. The Queen Mother said.

"Queen Mother, don't underestimate this wine, I have drunk this wine in Yingdu. Ordinary people will feel wonderful when they drink a drink; Drinking two glasses will make you slightly drunk; Drink three glasses and you will fall to the ground drunk. Uncle Xia Yu said.

"Really? In that case, pour a cup and taste it. The Queen Mother said.

Xia Ji personally stepped forward, poured wine for the Queen Mother, Concubine Hui, and Uncle Xia Yu, and then poured herself a glass.

The Queen Mother took a sip, and immediately changed her expression, and said: "Sure enough, it is good wine, the mourning family has lived in vain for so many years, and it is the first time to drink such a delicious wine, and I feel that the wine I drank before is just sweet water."

Concubine Hui will not feel amazing because she has drunk the liquor distilled by Xia Ji before, but the taste of these two pots of wine is stronger, she is also full of praise, and asked Xia Ji: "Xia Ji, this wine is so delicious, I wonder if you can buy it in Gusu?"

"It stands to reason that you can buy it, but it's hard to say if it's sold out." Natsuhime said.

"You say that, I can't wait to leave for Gusu tomorrow." Concubine Hui said.

"Concubine Hui wants to go back to her parents' house?" Uncle Xia Yu asked.

"Yes, Lord Sima. I want your lady to accompany me, I wonder if you can let me go? Concubine Hui asked.

"Well, this ......" Uncle Xia Yu was unprepared for the question thrown by Concubine Hui, and was speechless for a while.

"Don't worry, I will only borrow her for twenty days, and I promise to return it to you unscathed, and if you can buy it, I will pay you two bottles of good wine." Concubine Hui said.

"Concubine Hui's will, of course Uncle Xia Yu is willing to accept it." Uncle Xia Yu said.

"Lord Sima misunderstood, it's not a decree, but to discuss with you to borrow someone." Concubine Hui said.

"There's no problem with borrowing, it's just that Xia Ji just gave birth, and I have to ask her if she can arrange it properly." Uncle Xia Yu said.

"Okay, you husband and wife have a good discussion behind your back, and I will wait for your reply." Concubine Hui said.
