Chapter 1031: First Step
Faced with Empress Dowager Li's almost eager questioning, Yang Yunxi was silent for a moment, and then told the truth: "Sister has already moved out of the palace." I haven't been in the palace for a while. β
Empress Dowager Li was also silent for a long time when she heard this, and finally asked softly, as if she was a little afraid: "Does she not know that I am sick-"
Princess Zhaoping naturally knew about this matter, and the Queen Mother was so sick, it was naturally impossible for her not to tell Princess Zhaoping. After all, it is a mother and daughter who are close to each other, if you really don't say it, I am afraid that Empress Dowager Li has three longs and two shorts, and Princess Zhaoping will definitely feel uncomfortable.
It's just that Princess Zhaoping knew, but she never planned to enter the palace. Yang Yunxi didn't plan to tell Empress Dowager Li about this, so she deliberately diverted the topic, and just said, "How do you feel about Empress Dowager?" If there's anything missing, just send someone and tell meβ"
Before she finished speaking, she heard Empress Dowager Li suddenly say: "I don't lack anything!" β
Although his body was so weak that he even struggled to open his eyes, this sentence was rapid and sharp. It's as if it's forced out of the chest.
Yang Yunxi suddenly stopped. She knew what Empress Dowager Li was worried about and what she lacked. But she couldn't do anything - at this point, she didn't know whether to say that Empress Dowager Li was to blame, or whether to say that Empress Dowager Li was pitiful, but in the same way, she couldn't blame Princess Zhaoping.
Princess Zhaoping refused to enter the palace because of resentment and anger in her heart. If Empress Dowager Li hadn't been so biased in the first place, maybe it wouldn't be like this today.
But thinking about it deeper, what's wrong with Empress Dowager Li's preference for her own son? Perhaps the most wrong thing was to transfer Zhu Li to Empress Dowager Li at the beginning. It was the first emperor who was wrong.
Yang Yunxi sighed slightly, lowered his eyes and was speechless.
Empress Dowager Li gasped a few times, but finally slowly calmed down, closed her eyes, and said weakly: "Chen, unless Zhaoping comes over in the future, no one else is allowed to come in." β
Empress Dowager Li was reluctant to see them.
Yang Yunxi raised his eyebrows, didn't stay any longer, and said lightly: "Since the Queen Mother said so, then I won't stay more." On the one hand, I disturbed the Queen Mother's purity. Sister, I'll talk about it again. β
Empress Dowager Li didn't seem to hear anything, just lay motionless.
Yang Yunxi came out of the house, and after waiting a little, sure enough, the Chen family also came out.
Chen smiled apologetically at her: "The Queen Mother has not been in a good temper recently. β
Yang Yunxi wasn't so annoyed, just smiled and understood: "If you are uncomfortable, you will inevitably be anxious." You serve the Queen Mother wholeheartedly, and naturally the emperor and I will not treat you badly in the future. β
The Chen family somewhat understood what Yang Yunxi meant, and breathed a sigh of relief slightly: "The concubine will definitely take good care of the Queen Mother." It's just the queen mother's body......"
"Wherever you can go, you can go wherever you can. You don't have to think too much about it. Yang Yunxi looked into the distance and saw that the sky was almost gray, so he sighed and said, "It seems that it is going to snow." Although the Queen Mother is afraid of the cold, she must also be ventilated and breathable, so suffocating, if she is not sick, she will be sick. And the wisps...... How did she lose weight like that? It seems that it is not long before production. I'm really afraid she won't be able to survive. β
Chen smiled bitterly: "She was afraid." β
As for what he was afraid of, Chen didn't say it, but Yang Yunxi naturally understood. To put it bluntly, it's just self-inflicted. Immediately, she sighed, and could only say, "You just comfort her more." β
Chen whispered in response.
Yang Yunxi didn't stay long, and went straight away. It's just that I can't help but think in my heart, if the Empress Dowager Li can't survive the winter, then the funeral will have to be prepared early. Shoucai doesn't have to worry, good ingredients have already been prepared. The key is mourning clothes, but this should be prepared earlier.
Thinking like this, she instructed Lan Sheng and asked the palace to prepare quietly in private.
Then he glanced at the sky again, tightened his cloak, and sighed lightly: "I'm afraid the snow this year is earlier than last year, and on such a cold day, I don't know how the people outside the palace are." Don't have a place to suffer. β
Snow disasters are no more feared than anything else, such as crushing houses or freezing crops to death.
"It is said that Ruixue is a good year, why should the master worry?" Sui Mei comforted softly, and reminded Yang Yunxi: "It's so cold outside, the master should go back quickly, don't freeze." Recently, many palace people in the palace have caught a cold, and they all complained of illness and did not dare to serve in front of their masters. β
"Since this is the case, then order the imperial dining room to boil several large barrels of ginger soup every day, distribute them everywhere, and let the palace people drink a bowl." Yang Yunxi joked with a smile: "I also have a good reputation by the way." β
It doesn't cost a few silver to boil ginger soup horizontally and vertically, not to mention that I really want to use this to make a reputation, so that the palace people don't get sick from the cold, but it can be regarded as a good thing.
Sui Mei chuckled: "Since this is the case, the master might as well come up with this silver himself." β
He took out one or two hundred taels of silver, and bought a lot of ginger, which was enough for one winter.
"Hengzhu, you and Lan Sheng are in charge of the silver, and the two of you will be done after the discussion." Yang Yunxi is not short of this bit of silver, so naturally he doesn't care much about it, but he hates those who fill his pockets: "It's just that people are keeping an eye on it, don't ask people to pretend to be ghosts in the middle." β
Speaking of this, Lan Sheng burst out laughing: "Who dares to have such a mind now? Those big stewards, one by one, they are better at biting. Now that everyone is in danger, where can they dare to do such a thing again? The master's trick saves a lot of investigative effort. β
Yang Yunxi was patted by Lan Sheng, but he didn't feel proud at all, but just smiled meaningfully: "Look at it, the benefits are ahead." What is this now? β
Lan Sheng and Sui Mei were both unaware of what was going on, and only looked at Yang Yunxi in confusion. However, seeing that Yang Yunxi didn't want to say, he didn't ask any more.
All the way back to Xiangluan Palace, Yang Yunxi asked Sui Mei to run to the imperial dining room.
Sui Mei went with a smile, but after a while, she came back with a bad face: "But it was a quick start." β
Yang Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted to what Sui Mei said, and then smiled: "Oh? Got someone first? But I don't know who it is? It's also good-hearted. Very sympathetic to the palace people. β
Sui Mei glanced at Yang Yunxi, hesitated for a moment, but said first: "Don't be annoyed, that master." β
Yang Yunxi laughed a little when he heard this: "What's there to be angry about? But look at you like thisβlet me guess, could it be Concubine Hui? β
There was a moment of astonishment on Sui Mei's face.
Yang Yunxi raised his eyebrows.
