In front of the palace of Weiyang Palace, the grass does not grow enough, and the deep shade covers the sun.

There are two women sitting in front of the steps, the elder is coarse cloth and hairpin, if the one is luxurious and beautiful, it is the Empress Dowager Jing and Zhu Zhijie.

"So, you take the cold heart lotus I taught you to cook for them?"

"Yes, the flavor of the cold heart lotus and perilla leaves does match, and there is a bit of exotic novelty, and my father is very praised for eating it."

"Although he is the monarch of Cangwu Country, he is also the bloodline of my Yin Mu Country, so he naturally likes the taste of Leng Xinlian. There are some things in the bones that are not so easy to change. After Empress Dowager Jing finished speaking, she glanced at Zhu Zhijie sharply, and asked, "But you, just because these two things match, did you use them to cook?" ”

Zhu Zhijie was coldly asked by her, lowered her eyes and did not answer, and her heart became a little empty.

Empress Dowager Jing smiled: "I know that you still can't trust me in your heart, and you don't dare to ask, and you can't ask." You know that my sister Li Taijun is proficient in herbal medicine, and I expected her to come to the banquet, so I deliberately used this cold heart lotus and cooked it with heavy oil. The smell of perilla is domineering, ordinary people can't notice that there is a cold heart lotus, but my sister knows it when she tastes it. This cold heart lotus is all over the entire imperial capital, and only my sister's flower garden is there, she must have come to ask you why, isn't it? So you took the opportunity to ask her about me? ”

After Empress Dowager Jing finished speaking, she glanced at Zhu Zhijie's top, and sneered again: "I'm afraid that even the phoenix hairpin I gave you has also been shown to her?" ”

Zhu Zhijie was told by her one by one, and couldn't help but panic. She has been afraid of her mother since she was a child, and she has always heard that her imperial grandmother is ten times more powerful than her mother, so the fear of the three words imperial grandmother is deep-rooted. Now the Empress Dowager Jing is also worthy of her imperial grandmother, and she does not dare to be disrespectful even if she has suspicions.

"Jie'er...... Jie'er just thinks that all this is too amazing, Jie'er has just arrived in Cangwu, and there are indeed too many things that she doesn't know. ”

Hearing her whispered justification, the Empress Dowager Jing became more and more pitiful, so she put away her previous cold color, sighed and said:

"Well, it's not uncommon for you to be suspicious, so how can I blame you. In the old place of the deep palace, I suddenly met such an old woman, who was playing with some flowers and plants here, and I was a person who had been dead for decades in the mouth of the world, and it was hard to believe who it was. In fact, when I was teaching you Leng Xinlian, you asked me if I could eat, and I guessed your intention by looking at your expression at that time. If I don't want to do what you want, and just say that you can't eat, won't I save you all these troubles? I just think, if you have suspicions, then you might as well solve them, and now you can let go? ”

Zhu Zhijie was told what she said, so she had to nod silently.

Empress Dowager Jing continued: "Why am I trapped here in a different way, I promised you these old things in the palace, and I will tell you them one by one. It's just that you're not qualified right now, let me tell you. ”

Zhu Zhijie was stunned, secretly wondering what this means by not being qualified?

"Although you are married to the crown princess of Cangwu Kingdom, you should know how to solve problems for the Li royal family, but you don't even know the pain points of the Li family."

Zhu Zhijie thought to herself that the sore spot of the Li royal family did not refer to the clan

Mental Deficiency Caused by Marriage? How can such words be said that damage the face of the royal family? So he was silent for the moment.

Empress Dowager Jing said without scruples: "I know that you think that talking about the disease of intellectual deficiency is disrespectful to the emperors of Cangwu Kingdom, so you refuse to say it." But I'm not referring to this, but to another. ”

Another one? What other sore spots does the Lee royal family have?

"I think that since the opening of the dynasty of his ancestors, the descendants of the Li family are not prosperous, my son Hou Cong is already an only son, and now my grandson Chongyan is an only son, so a single line, the blood of the royal family is not thin? This is the most worrying thing for the saints today. ”

Zhu Zhijie understood what she meant, and this sore spot refers to the fact that there is no successor to the royal family.

Empress Dowager Jing lowered her voice and continued:

"Of course, the crown prince will become the monarch in the future, and he will also accept concubines on his side, and I also hope that the concubines in the harem can open up branches for the Li family, but now he is the only one after all, isn't he? He will have other concubines in the future. As the saying goes: Shaohua is fleeting, and the white head is just tomorrow. How can the emperor's love last long by relying on the wind and snow in front of him? But if you have a son-in-law, it's different. ”

Zhu Zhijie chuckled in her heart, since she and Li Chongyan met, they only thought about how to stay together day and night, and it seemed that they had never thought about him taking a concubine in the future. Although she knew that this was inevitable, she couldn't help but be confused when Empress Dowager Jing mentioned it so suddenly.

Does he really like someone else to go?

What he said to me, would he say to others?

Empress Dowager Jing looked at her lonely face and smiled.

"You have such worries, every woman in the harem has them. That's why I said, if you're a dragonborn, it's different. Not only will Chongyan take more care of you, but your position in the middle palace will not be shaken. ”

Zhu Zhijie looked at the Empress Dowager Jing with wide eyes, and said blankly: "Is this true?" ”

It's not that she doesn't know the harem anecdotes of the kings of the past dynasties, but in her Bihai Country, the empress has always held the country, and the affairs of the harem are completely blank, and she has no way of hearing and witnessing. So as soon as Empress Dowager Jing said this, she believed it.

Empress Dowager Jing smiled: "Don't say it from afar, just look at me." I was just a favorite concubine at the beginning, and the first emperor had his own queen standing in the middle palace, but in the end, I was the only one who could leave an heir, and the queen could only be depressed all day long, and in the end she died early. And I, gave birth to the emperor, and the emperor inherited the unification, didn't they also give me a queen? Which one of my things is inferior to the original queen? Therefore, as long as you have a royal descendant, not only will Jiangshan Antai relieve the sore spot of the Li royal family, but also the love you crave and the status in the palace can be kept one by one. Do you understand that? ”

Zhu Zhijie heard it attentively and nodded indifferently.

Empress Dowager Jing smiled and said: "If you have a dragon descendant, the one thing I am most concerned about in my heart can also be settled, this is my real imperial granddaughter-in-law." Only then will you be qualified to know what you should know. ”

After speaking, Empress Dowager Jing waved her hand at Zhu Zhijie and said mysteriously:

"Come, I'll see the same thing with you."

She led Zhu Zhijie to the edge of the flower garden,

After searching in the grass for a while, he pulled out a grass plant. Zhu Zhijie saw that the grass grew like a crescent moon, layer upon layer, and there was a petite white flower at the end, and a bunch of red fruits the size of Sichuan peppercorns were produced under the flower.

"This is the herb of our Yin Mu country, and this fruit is plucked and mashed, wrapped in gauze and applied to the navel at night, once every three days, and the woman will be more likely to conceive."

"Really?"

"How is it not true? We call this grass more sons and more blessed grass, in the past, there were women in my Yin Mu country who could not conceive, and after using this grass, within half a year, most of them could be had. You can use this one first, and I'll look for a few more when I go back, and you can pick it up again in a few days. If you had had a man and a woman, the Holy One would have slept more peacefully, wouldn't he? ”

Zhu Zhijie was just worried about her words about the heir, and now she has been stuffed with another herb, and she can't help but have some doubts in her heart.

How she was so eager to persuade me to get pregnant.

There are a lot of exotic flowers and plants in this flower garden, which ones are beneficial and which are poisonous, I don't know at all, how can I use them rashly.

Zhu Zhijie thanked her while thinking about it, took over the Duozi Duofu grass, and after a few more gossips, she got up and said goodbye. What I thought in my heart was that the last time I took the cold heart lotus, I dared to make it into a dish after trying the poison first. Now that she has this lot of blessings, her words alone are strange, and she has to inquire first.

Zhu Zhijie returned to the Zhaohua Palace, and the crown prince Li Chongyan was sitting in the palace, and when he saw her, he asked, "Where have you been?" I sent for you, but you couldn't find it. ”

"I went around the garden and it was nothing. You rarely come back for a few days this time, why don't you sit at your father's place more? ”

Li Chongyan said with a hippie smile: "You came to ask me instead, don't you want me to stay with you for a while?" ”

If it was on weekdays, Zhu Zhijie would have blushed with shame, and when she heard him say this today, she suddenly remembered what the Empress Dowager Fang Caijing said about the prince's concubine in the future, and she felt a little depressed, and her face was not happy but worried.

"Don't tease me yet, I have something to do, you have to help me."

Li Chongyan saw that she was solemn, and said strangely: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhu Zhijie took a handkerchief, carefully wrapped the multi-seed multi-blessing grass, and put it into a sealed envelope and handed it over.

"I remember you said that Li Taijun is proficient in herbal medicine, and I want you to show her this herb what kind of herb it is and what its effects are, but don't say that I want to ask. Can you help? ”

Li Zhong hesitated: "Don't say it's ...... you want to ask?" What does this mean? Why did you see my aunt and grandmother that day, and you had all these mysteries? It's all a family, and you still don't want to know that it's what you want to ask? ”

Zhu Zhijieyu poked his finger lightly between his eyebrows, and said angrily: "Ask so much, do you help or not?" ”

"Help! Naturally, it's a help! Xinyang County Order Receives Order! Li Chongyan also pretended to take the envelope very solemnly, put it in his arms, and immediately approached her face and kissed it.

Zhu Zhijie was really caught off guard this time, her face flushed with shame, and she said, "What are you doing in broad daylight?" ”

"What to do? Hehe, this county order is to commit the following offenses. Li Chongyan was about to pounce, but Zhu Zhijie was so frightened that she hurriedly flashed to the side and took it

sleeves to block. was secretly thinking about how this narrow ghost was always not serious, but he found that there was no movement, and when he put down his sleeves, Li Chongyan had already left the hall with the envelope.

"This is going to the Taishi's Mansion? Sure enough, he was concerned about my affairs. Zhu Zhijie's heart warmed.

While he was thinking about it, the prince turned back from outside the palace.

"Hey, Princess, aren't you following Your Highness? How did you get back? ”

"Oh, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that there are several things I want to show you, and since His Royal Highness went to the Taishi's Mansion first, he said that it would be the same to let the old slave show you first."
