256 Something to be courteous
Lin Su was reluctant to join in the fun, so he went to the Empress Dowager Zhao, and it happened that the Empress Dowager Zhao picked fresh lotus pods with the little eunuch, so Lin Su offered a recipe, and the two of them sat in the newly built water pavilion drinking herbal tea and chatting.
"Don't eat too much of these things, change to sugar water to drink." Empress Dowager Zhao told Lin Su like a kind elder, she smiled shyly when she heard it, and easily let the maid ring on the side change the teacup, and said with a low smile: "It is also the herbal tea here that the Queen Mother is delicious, and the concubines pay attention to it on weekdays, and they never want to eat more." β
Empress Dowager Zhao pointed at her and smiled, "Look at your sharp teeth, is this still the fault of this palace?" β
There was laughter in the water pavilion. When the laughter gradually dissipated, Empress Dowager Zhao looked at Lin Su slightly, and saw that although she was still thin, her expression was still good, so she spoke, "Bengong looks at you a lot better now, but you are appetizing?" β
Lin Su said with a smile, "The concubine has indeed improved a lot in the past few days, so don't you come to the Queen Mother to eat." β
The Queen Mother laughed again, and after everyone laughed for a while, the Queen Mother waved her hand to let the others retreat and looked up at Lin Su.
"There is a guest on Empress Dowager Lan today, do you know?"
When Lin Su heard the sound and knew what he meant, he smiled and said, "Mrs. Lan came to greet the nobles in the palace today, I'm afraid it's just because of the incident that the Lan family has caused trouble in the past few days, right?" β
The Queen Mother sneered, "Speaking of it, it is also a famous family, and what is happening now really makes people feel ashamed when they hear it." There is still a face to beg in the harem, and spread out such a thing. I want to see what that man will do with this! β
Such a topic is a bit sensitive, not only to criticize the government, but also to involve the harem elders. As a concubine in the harem, she really couldn't say anything.
After Empress Dowager Zhao finished speaking, she glanced at Lin Su with a smile, "You have always been cautious, and this palace is also at ease with you." I just want to mention you. β
Lin Su immediately straightened his face, looking like he was listening, waiting for Empress Dowager Zhao to speak.
"Now that you are pregnant with an heir, the most important thing is your own body. Nothing else matters. Bengong looked at Ah Fu and Ah Ling, you are well educated, and I think that the children in the future will only be better educated. β
Lin Su's expression became more and more respectful, and he didn't dare to reply to Empress Dowager Zhao's words easily.
Empress Dowager Zhao has always liked her, and she said such things to show her position, and secondly, to express her dissatisfaction with the Lan family. Since X became the justifiable queen mother from her, she has become more and more imposing in her words and deeds, and the occasional domineering is very embarrassing.
The atmosphere inside the water pavilion was a little quiet, Lin Su personally got up and added a cup of hot tea to the Empress Dowager Zhao, and said with a smile, "Herbal tea is a cold thing after all, and the Empress Dowager should not drink too much." Speaking of which, the Queen Mother's water pavilion is really smart, and after sitting here for a while, I feel that all the heat in my body has dissipated. β
Empress Dowager Zhao's expression eased, and a smile appeared on her face. "If you like it, when you give birth to a child, you will also let someone be in Fuliu Palace. It's going to be cool this time next year. β
The two of them began to gossip, and the atmosphere slowly became harmonious, and after a while, lotus seed dew was brought from the kitchen.
Lin Su personally served it to the Empress Dowager Zhao, and she showed a hint of surprise when she tasted it slightly, "It's the first time I've drunk this thing, the taste is refreshing and refreshing, and it's not greasy." β
"I didn't think this thing was drinking it for the first time, but after drinking it, it had a fragrance that dissipated the heat, and there were nourishing herbs in it, which was good for the body." Lin Su waited for the Empress Dowager Zhao, and then took the lotus seed dew handed over by Qiu Yan, took the spoon and drank it slowly, and saw that Mrs. Zhao was tired, so he accompanied her to the palace to rest.
It wasn't until the end of the day that Lin Su and Empress Dowager Zhao got up and washed up under the service of the palace maid, and the grandmother beside Mrs. Zhao came with the news, and by the way, the guests from Empress Dowager Lan's side had left the palace.
Lin Su accompanied the Empress Dowager Zhao to drink a cup of tea again, and then got up to leave. Empress Dowager Zhao glanced at her with a smile and waved her hand, "Go, go, go." I know that you didn't come here today to accompany the old woman for no reason. It turned out that he was here to avoid trouble. Finally, he shook his head, "You're too cautious too." β
Lin Su didn't argue, just pursed his lips and saluted with a smile, then took Chunyan's hand and took a step back and left.
When she returned to the Fuliu Palace, it happened that Ah Fu and Ah Ling also woke up from a nap, and the nurse waited for the two little ones to eat a small half bowl of custard.
When the two little guys saw Lin Su coming in, they immediately slipped off the cloth mound and threw themselves on Lin Su's legs and shouted enthusiastically.
Lin Su picked them up one by one and sat back on the bed, and then asked them with a smile if they were obedient.
Ah Fu spoke more and more neatly, even with a precocious attitude, while Ah Ling was less than half a year younger than him, but he was childish, ignorant and naΓ―ve.
Lin Su played with the two children for a while, and the nurse saw that she was a little in good spirits, so she hugged the children and coaxed them to stop pestering Lin Su.
Lin Su returned to his room when he was free, and motioned for Chunyan to rest first, and then Xia Yan helped him change his clothes and put on a light-colored regular clothes that were relatively loose and comfortable.
Sitting in front of the vanity mirror, she took off the ornaments between the green silk and said, "What is the movement in Zixia Courtyard today?" β
Xia Yan smiled and threw a handkerchief over to wipe Lin Su's face, and said, "Concubine Lan didn't come back until after lunch, and as soon as she came back, she locked herself in the room and didn't speak. The slave maid used the excuse of sending her fresh grapes to let Xia He go, and I heard that she had smashed a lot of things in the house. It's just that it's all wood, and it doesn't break anything. β
The smile on Xia Yan's face brightened as she spoke, and Lin Su paused slightly when she took off her earrings, and then laughed.
This is indeed a thing that makes people laugh, Lan Xin is only afraid that he is full of dissatisfaction and does not dare to do anything, and even smashes things and fights carefully, for fear that it will be difficult to explain if he is discovered, and he can only drop some wooden things.
It's really sad.
With a slight sigh, Lin Su went out of the house, leaning on the beauty couch and flipping through the book, thinking that there was nothing wrong, but he didn't expect that when it was time for dinner, Lan Xin suddenly came over to greet her.
"It's a strange thing, it's the first time since she moved to the Fuliu Hall that she's been so attentive."
Because there were no outsiders in the house, Xia Yan was a little open-mouthed, and Lin Su was not angry when she heard her words, but made up for it meaningfully.
"I'm afraid that there is something to be courteous, and you must know that some "noodles" are not so easy to see. β
