Chapter 81: Pruning

She saw Li Lingyue's face blushing, and only then did she react in hindsight - she said it too directly, because she had already experienced marriage and knew what it meant to be married, but her daughter was different.

Although Li Lingyue has an arrogant temper, although she has always been very arrogant, but she is a girl in the end, no matter how much she tells her, she can't listen to it now, when she was young, who didn't only value her appearance, and she longed for the personable young man in her heart?

She sighed deeply and stroked her daughter's hair: "That's it, you don't understand this now, you just need to know that my mother will definitely pave the road for you in the future, let you go steadily, and will never let you suffer what your mother has suffered." ”

Li Lingyue naturally understood this sentence, and she was also a little uncomfortable with her mother's words for a while, so she couldn't help but hug Princess Baochuan and shouted in a low voice.

Princess Baochuan patted her, asked her to go back to change her clothes, and took her into the city and into the palace to greet Empress Dowager Cui.

Empress Dowager Cui recently had a cough, every day at night she coughed badly, almost to the point of not being able to sleep, the imperial doctors in the palace tried all kinds of methods, but failed to cure the queen mother, so when Princess Baochuan entered the palace, she saw that the Empress Dowager Cui lost a lot of weight.

She couldn't help but widen her eyes, and stepped forward to ask the Empress Dowager Cui: "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?" Why haven't you seen you for a while, and you're so haggard? ”

Empress Dowager Cui waved her hand, because she had not rested well recently, her face was a little pale, her eye circles were also black, and she exhaled without any energy: "It's nothing, it's just that the old problem has been committed again, and the cough is terrible." ”

Princess Baochuan knew that Empress Dowager Cui had an old cough, and when she heard this, she frowned: "In previous years, I also had a cough, but I haven't seen such a bad cough, why is it more serious this year?" ”

Empress Dowager Cui didn't speak, but Mama Wenhua sighed softly: "Yes, this year is more serious than in previous years." ”

Princess Baochuan said: "Some time ago, a Zhuangzi from other places came back to pay the rent and gave Erchen a box of orange red pills, saying that it was homemade by a doctor over there, and it was best to treat cough. ”

Empress Dowager Cui patted her hands: "If you think about the mourning family, it is filial piety." ”

After speaking, he saw Li Lingyue standing aside, so he beckoned to Li Lingyue, and Li Lingyue hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace.

Empress Dowager Cui hummed and asked her to get up, coughed a few words, and then asked Princess Baochuan: "I heard that you have been living in the suburbs recently?" How did you come up with the idea of living outside the city? ”

"The weather is too cold, Erchen is afraid of the cold year by year, and in winter, his hands and feet are always cold, and he is not even lazy to move, so this is not a long-term solution. Hearing that the hot spring water is good, Erchen simply went to live in the hot spring village outside the city, and it was okay to live in the city anyway. Princess Baochuan laughed: "But the hot springs outside the city are indeed good, after living for a while, the old problem of cold hands and feet of Erchen is much better, I heard that cough can also be soaked, it is better to go to the city to soak together." ”

In fact, this idea has been proposed by the Imperial Doctor before.

The imperial doctor said that it may be that the weather is particularly cold and dry this year, and the queen mother's cough will be aggravated, and she can go to the hot springs, which may be useful.

But Empress Dowager Cui didn't want to mobilize the people, so she refused.

At this time, Princess Baochuan mentioned it again, but Empress Dowager Cui still shook her head: "It's too troublesome, if it's not good after a while, let's talk about it." ”

As he was talking, the voice of Emperor Yongchang came from outside: "What's too troublesome? ”

The people in the first hall, except for the Empress Dowager Cui, all stood up and said hello to the emperor.

When Emperor Yongchang came in, he saw that everyone had already knelt on the ground, raised his hand to order everyone to be flat, stepped forward and sat next to the Empress Dowager Cui, and then asked Princess Baochuan: "Why haven't I seen you enter the palace for so long?" ”

Princess Baochuan's attitude towards Emperor Yongchang was still as respectful as usual, and she explained with a smile that her hands and feet were cold in winter, and then she said: "It's the queen mother, if I don't come to the palace, I don't know that the queen mother's cough is so serious." ”

Emperor Yongchang naturally also cared about the Empress Dowager Cui.

Since the matter of the Wang family, the knot between Emperor Yongchang and the Empress Dowager Cui has been untied, and the relationship is getting closer and closer.

Princess Baochuan brought up the matter of orange red pills and hot springs, and said softly: "I heard that it was useful, so I told the queen mother, I should try it anyway, there is no way to be so sick, but the queen mother refused, saying that it was too troublesome." I said, what's the trouble with this? ”

Emperor Yongchang also said: "Yes, what's the trouble with this? We also have a hot spring palace, and my son and daughter went to live for a while. ”

Empress Dowager Cui hesitated: "How can this work?" Isn't it a waste of state affairs? ”

"Why is that?" Emperor Yongchang laughed: "In the past, we also had to go to the summer or winter, but we went less, and when we went there, we just dealt with political affairs there, and it would not be wasted." The queen mother doesn't have to worry. ”

And so it was settled.

After Princess Baochuan sat here with Empress Dowager Cui for a while, she went straight to Concubine Xian's palace.

Concubine Xian is taking the homework of the seventh princess, although the seventh princess has a good temperament, but she is slow to learn things, and there is no spirituality, and she can't even compare to the eighth princess.

The seventh princess was carrying the homework taught by the Taifu today with tears in her eyes, and she was secretly relieved when she heard the announcement from the outside that Princess Baochuan was coming.

Sure enough, when she heard that it was a guest, Concubine Xian frowned and glanced at her daughter, and said softly, "Okay, let's go to the dormitory to rest for a while." ”

The seventh princess hurriedly responded, and was afraid that her embarrassed appearance would be seen by others, so she hurriedly bypassed the screen and went to the dormitory behind from the side door.

Concubine Xian smiled and welcomed Princess Baochuan in: "I heard that you live outside the city, and this palace has wanted to send you posts several times, but it didn't work, you are really good at hiding from you." ”

"Where?" Princess Baochuan also laughed: "I also received something from the mother outside the city, I am very grateful, no, I went into the palace to greet the queen mother, and I came to you." ”

After a few words of greeting on both sides, Princess Baochuan went straight to the topic: "By the way, I don't know how the matter of King Qi's selection of concubines is going?" ”

The smile on Concubine Xian's face faded a little: "It's a little troublesome, I can't see anyone." ”
