The two little buns stayed with the Empress Dowager all afternoon in the Palace of Compassion and Peace, coaxing the Empress Dowager into a happy mood.
But when it was time for dinner, the queen mother was upset again, because the queen mother wanted to drink medicine.
Su Xiaorui frowned slightly, and smiled brightly at her: "Grandmother, let's recite ancient poems for you again, and let's recite a sentence for you to drink?"
Thinking about the bitter medicine, the queen mother felt bitter in her heart, she shook her hand: "I don't want to listen to ancient poems."
Su Xiaorui thought about it for a while, and made a discussion: "Then let's recite a song, and you only have one sip, okay?"
Seeing the Queen Mother, Ye Xiaonian still didn't respond, and said again: "Grandmother, do you want to hear a story?"
The queen mother continued to shake her hands: "The Ai family doesn't like to listen to stories. This medicine, drink it later, it's getting dark, you should go back soon."
Su Xiaorui rubbed against the Empress Dowager, grabbed her sleeves, and wrinkled her whole face with a pitiful expression: "Grandmother, are you driving us away? Do you not like us anymore?" ?”
The Queen Mother froze for a moment, rubbed his little head, and said with a smile: "How could Great-Grandmother not like you, Great-Grandmother likes you the most."
"Then great-grandmother wants to prove it to us." Su Xiaorui glanced at Ye Xiaonian, "Really, brother?"
Ye Xiaonian nodded her head, her eyes revealed a hint of slyness: "Then great-grandmother, just drink the medicine, the more you drink, the more you like us."
"Yes. If you don't drink a sip, great-grandmother, it means you don't like us anymore."
The Empress Dowager stared at the little devil sadly, neither crying nor laughing.
Hu Momo stood aside, holding back her laughter. She believed in her heart that with the efforts of the two young masters, the Empress Dowager would still drink this bowl of medicine in the end.
Only the Queen Mother took a couple of sips, then she frowned and refused to drink.
Su Xiaorui was not in a hurry this time. He remembered the storytelling that his brother said just now, his eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on his face. Why don't he just tell his great-grandmother a thousand and one stories now.
So, regardless of whether his great-grandmother was willing or not, he cleared his throat and began to talk: "It is said that in ancient times, on the island of ancient Arabia, there was a kingdom..."
Sure enough, the Queen Mother was reluctant to listen to it at first, but when she heard Su Xiaorui telling the story vividly, she was immediately attracted.
Su Xiaorui saw that the Queen Mother listened with gusto, knowing that this matter has been rewarded, she blinked lightly at Ye Xiaonian.
Su Xiaorui followed the example of the heroine in the story and finished the beginning and middle of the first story, but it just stopped at the end.
The Empress Dowager heard the exciting part but couldn't hear the ending, she felt itchy immediately, and kept asking like a child: "And then, then?"
Su Xiaorui secretly laughed in his heart. In order to keep the emperor from killing her, the heroine in the story has endless stories, and each one is more exciting than the other. With the story of One Thousand and One Nights, he is not afraid that his great-grandmother will refuse to drink medicine.
"If you want to listen to the following content, great-grandmother should drink up the medicine obediently." Su Xiaorui showed a cute smile at the queen mother, with clear and innocent eyes.
Ye Xiaonian obediently brought the medicine bowl back to the Queen Mother's mouth: "Grandmother, I really want to hear the following content."
For the end of the story, the queen mother couldn't hold back after all, and quickly finished drinking the medicine.
Su Xiaorui was very happy when he saw the Queen Mother finished drinking the medicine, and he felt a sense of accomplishment. He finished the ending of the first story and continued to tell the second story, but he still stopped at the ending of the second story: " Great-grandmother, it's very late now, my brother and I are going back."
The Queen Mother stared at him: "And then?"
Su Xiaorui shook his head naively: "There is no future today. If my great-grandmother drinks the medicine obediently tomorrow, she will be able to hear the end of the story, hehe..."
Under the strong resentful eyes of the Queen Mother, Su Xiaorui and Ye Xiaonian quickly slipped away holding hands.
After the two little buns went back, Su Ying began to report what happened today: "Mother, letting great-grandmother drink medicine is like putting a knife on her neck. It looks very painful."
Ye Xiaonian nodded: "When my brother and I went there, Mother Hu coaxed me for a long time, but there was nothing I could do."
Su Ying couldn't help laughing, the Queen Mother had always been a strict and stubborn woman in her eyes, she never expected to have such a cute and naive side. She praised: "It seems that One Thousand and One Stories works well."
Su Xiaorui laughed and said: "The effect of dim sum is also very good. Great-grandmother likes to eat dim sum made by mother. What delicious food will mother make tomorrow?"
Seeing Su Xiaorui's greedy face, Su Ying couldn't help but tap his head: "You know how to eat!"
On the second day, the Empress Dowager's spirit improved a lot, but at the end of the day, without the supervision of the two little buns, she refused to take medicine again.
Su Xiaorui and Ye Xiaonian brought pastries and stood in front of the Queen Mother, and asked amusedly, "Grandmother Hu, I heard that you don't want to drink medicine in the morning again?"
The Queen Mother glared at Madam Hu: "Nonsense!"
Su Xiaorui tugged at the Queen Mother's sleeve: "Grandmother, then you should drink the medicine obediently now."
"Aijia is already cured, there is no need to take any more medicine." Great-grandmother said bluntly, and then she smiled again, she smiled at the two children, "Look how good Aijia is now. "
Su Xiaorui sighed, and raised the box in his hand: "Great-grandmother, you really don't take medicine anymore? Hey, fortunately, I have prepared a second story, and this box of delicious pastries."
There was a smile on Ye Xiaonian's lips: "We have consulted the imperial doctor, the great grandmother has to drink the medicine for seven days in order to be in good health."
When the queen mother thought of the delicious pastries and the unbearably itchy story yesterday, she couldn't help but glared at the two little devils. She took the medicine and drank it down: "It's all right now."
"Grandmother is so brave, your reward!" Su Xiaorui pushed the snack box up, and then climbed onto the bed by herself.
Thus, the wonderful afternoon time began again. The Queen Mother tasted the snacks and listened to the stories, not to mention how pleasant it was.
On the fourth day of the Empress Dowager's illness, Su Ying brought snacks into the palace to see the Empress Dowager.
On the way to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, Su Ying was still thinking that the Queen Mother never liked her, so she might not be happy to see her either.
When she thought of the empress dowager's stubborn and arrogant face, there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
Su Ying was brought to the inner hall by two little buns, she stepped forward slowly, and bowed gracefully to the queen mother: "Ying'er has seen the imperial grandmother."
"No." The Queen Mother's expression was indifferent, but there was not much repulsion on her face.
