"I... I wasn't careful!" Seeing the Queen Mother and Shao Wanru looking at her, Princess Yuyan turned pale and hurriedly lowered her head.
Shao Wanru's watery eyes rolled, and he stretched out his hand to take another piece of pastry to Princess Yuyan: "If you like it, princess, use a few more pieces."
The palace maid quickly took away the fallen pastry. Princess Yuyan looked at the pastry in front of her, and then at Shao Wanru. She wanted to put down the chopsticks in her hand but couldn't. She laughed twice and said: " Actually it’s not…”
"Don't you like this piece? What about this piece? The imperial grandmother rewarded it. I hope Princess Yuyan likes it!" Shao Wanru picked up another piece with a slightly different look with a smile.
Princess Yuyan looked at the cakes in front of her eagerly, and then looked at Shao Wanru's smiling face. She had to answer these words, "Thank you, Queen Mother!"
I picked up the piece of pastry with my chopsticks and took a small bite. The tiny gap was only as big as a grain of rice.
Then he put down his chopsticks and gently wiped his lips with a handkerchief: "It's really good!"
"Princess Yuyan doesn't like it?" Shao Wanru raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.
Princess Yuyan shook her head, with a hint of embarrassment in her expression: "The pastries of Niao Country are different from those of Dongcang Country. I... I am not used to them for a while."
"Since you are not used to eating, there is no need to force it!" the Queen Mother said nonchalantly, and then asked with concern, "How does King Qing treat you?"
Princess Yuyan is a princess in marriage. Regardless of whether it is public or private, the Queen Mother has to ask her questions.
"It's... it's okay!" Princess Yuyan lowered her head and twisted the handkerchief with a bit of grievance. She said she was okay, but her expression didn't look good at all.
"Why, Prince Qing bullied you?" The Queen Mother became unhappy, "The next time he comes to the palace, the Ai family will talk to him properly."
"The Queen Mother, you don't care about the prince's affairs, it's..." Princess Yuyan's eyes turned red when she said this, "Actually, it's not anyone's problem, it's just that I'm a little homesick!"
She didn't complain directly, but expressed her bad life in a roundabout way, and she didn't appear to be overbearing or rude. Princess Yu Yan looked much more well-behaved and pitiful.
This is the attitude most liked by the elders.
Princess Yuyan is not always surrounded by impulsive people.
Shao Wanru curled his lips calmly and said nothing, only quietly listening to the words of the Queen Mother and Princess Yuyan.
The Empress Dowager actually didn't pay much attention to the Prince Qing's Palace. After asking a few questions and comforting Princess Yuyan, she started talking to Shao Wanru again.
This time it was Princess Yuyan's turn to sit quietly aside and accompany her.
But Princess Yuyan didn't look at all peaceful. From time to time she looked at the pastries on the table, frowned thoughtfully, and then looked at the people waiting around the Queen Mother. Shao Wanru always felt that she was there. Looking at something.
His face was also very ugly.
"What do you think of Princess Yuyan?" It happened that the Queen Mother was talking about the eldest princess Ruiping. Shao Wanru smiled slightly and brought the topic to Princess Yuyan.
Princess Yuyan didn't pay attention to what the two of them said, and her attention wasn't on either of them. When Shao Wanru asked, she didn't react yet.
A nun behind her stepped forward and pushed her gently, and she suddenly realized. She turned her head and saw the Queen Mother and Shao Wanru looking at her, and hurriedly explained: "I just remembered some things in the house.
Things... I was distracted for a moment, please forgive me, the Queen Mother. "
"Are you tired? If you are tired, go back first!" The Queen Mother's eyes fell on her face, looked at her and asked.
"The Queen Mother, Yuyan... Yuyan will leave first!" Princess Yuyan stood up and said obediently.
"Mother Wei, send Princess Yuyan off!" the Queen Mother nodded and ordered.
Aunt Wei smiled and led the way, and Princess Yuyan followed her.
After they left, Shao Wanru's hand pressed down on the Queen Mother's hand: "Royal Grandmother, was this pastry made by someone new?"
"Right?" The Queen Mother nodded and said unclearly.
"Royal Grandmother, please have someone check these pastries and check if this person has anything to do with the country of Ao!" Shao Wanru said urgently in a low voice.
Princess Yuyan's expression was too weird, especially after seeing this pastry. When she took it for the first time, she clearly saw Princess Yuyan's mouth open. Although the mouthful was not big, it was not big. Maybe the rice grains were so small, but the bite was very small. Even when I was talking to the Queen Mother later, she kept looking at the cakes secretly.
It is obvious that he knows something and is still looking for something, but he is not entirely sure.
Since we have done this, there must be something like this. The Queen Mother is in poor health and needs to be more careful.
Seeing Shao Wanru's solemn expression, the Queen Mother nodded immediately, looked at a palace maid standing on one side, and gave her a slight signal. The palace maid stepped forward and carried the cakes down.
"Royal Grandma, did you think that your grandson-in-law's injuries were not serious?" Shao Wanru asked again.
"I heard that at first, it was just a slight scratch on the skin, nothing serious!" Although the Queen Mother felt that Shao Wanru's question was strange, she still explained, patted Shao Wanru's hand with her backhand, and comforted her kindly. : "It's okay, it's okay now!"
"Grandma Huang, who told you these words?" Shao Wanru asked.
The Queen Mother frowned, thought for a while and said, "Mother Wei said so, and Master Pushan also said so."
Shao Wanru's heart skipped a beat: "Why did Master Pushan see you?"
"Before, my health was not good. Aunt Wei said that Master Pushan's Dharma was very effective, so she would occasionally ask Master Pushan to recite sutras!" said the Queen Mother.
No wonder I saw Master Pushan’s disciples in the Queen Mother’s Palace.
The Queen Mother was in poor health and had an extremely noble status. It was very common for Master Pushan to come and lecture or recite sutras if she wanted to listen to them.
"Emperor Grandma, were there any other masters in the Buddhist hall before the palace?" Shao Wanru asked. When Master Pushan entered the palace, it was Shao Yanru's recommendation, but why did she stay in the palace all the time after entering the palace? Shao Wanru asked Like curiosity.
Shao Wanru didn't know much about Master Pushan. She always seemed to be above criticism.
It was like this when I was at Yu Hui'an, and it's still like this now.
"There was one before, but she was not in good health and suddenly fell ill. It happened that Master Pushan came into the palace, so the Ai family asked her to live in the palace first and preside over the affairs of the Buddhist temple. We will wait until the previous one is in good health. .”
The Queen Mother explained.
When Master Pushan entered the palace, the previous host of the Buddhist Hall fell ill and was sent out of the palace. She was the current host of the Buddhist Hall in the palace, so naturally she couldn't leave.
"
Grandma Imperial, will your health really get better now that she is here? "Shao Wanru said, stretched out his hand and grasped the Queen Mother's pulse gate, "Emperor Grandma, can I check your pulse? "
She now regards the Queen Mother as an ordinary respectable old man.
"Of course it's good. Master Pushan's Dharma is pretty good. Ever since she recited sutras for Aijia, Aijia's health has indeed become much lighter. During that period of time, the condition was recurring, and she came over from time to time. Okay soon." The Queen Mother nodded kindly and smiled.
Shao Wanru lowered his head and quietly checked the Queen Mother's pulse, his watery eyes slightly condensed.
The Empress Dowager's pulse seemed to be very stable, and there was nothing wrong with her. Only the elderly suffered from senility, but after careful examination, she felt a little suffocated.
"Grandma Imperial, let's switch hands!" Shao Wanru put down the Queen Mother's hand and said with a smile.
The Queen Mother nodded, and stretched out her other hand to let Shao Wanru diagnose and treat her. Her face was smiling and peaceful. She didn't care what Shao Wanru could diagnose, she just looked after herself wholeheartedly. The look made the Queen Mother very happy.
The Queen Mother only had two sons in her life. Although she adopted another one later, none of them were as considerate as a girl. Now she really likes Shao Wanru's considerate look.
"Royal grandmother, my grandson's medical skills are not good, but she has a master. Can she come and take a look at you?" Shao Wanru put down the Queen Mother's hand and said with a smile.
She still felt suspicious and wanted Master Mingqiu to come and take a look.
"Of course it's good, don't worry, the Ai family is doing fine recently, but you should be more careful and don't worry too much!" the Queen Mother warned in a low voice.
"My granddaughter-in-law knows, thank you, Grandma Imperial!" Shao Wanru raised his head with a smile, his long eyelashes fluttering twice on his pink face, looking very well-behaved and supple.
The Queen Mother became more and more happy. The child was growing well and matched Chen'er. The two of them standing together were very pleasing to the eye. The Queen Mother felt that seeing such a beautiful couple made her happy just thinking about it.
After the two of them talked for a while, Shao Wanru said goodbye to the Queen Mother and said that he would bring Master Mingqiu with him tomorrow. The Queen Mother nodded.
When I was at the palace gate, I met Nanny Wei who was coming back in a hurry.
Seeing Shao Wanru, Aunt Wei hurriedly stepped forward to salute, looking a little surprised. She obviously didn't expect Shao Wanru to leave so soon.
"Did Aunt Wei send Princess Yuyan to the palace gate?" Shao Wanru asked casually.
"After sending Princess Yuyan here, I went to check out the ginseng soup again. It's time to use the Queen Mother's ginseng soup!" Aunt Wei was prepared and replied with a smile.
Shao Wanru looked at Aunt Wei with a smile, stopped asking questions, just nodded to her, and then walked away with the two maids. Aunt Wei stood behind her with a smile to see them off.
After Shao Wanru's figure disappeared, his face turned ugly. The corners of his eyes twitched, and his whole person looked gloomy. He clicked his tongue vigorously, remembering Princess Yuyan's words before, and his expression was very ugly.
She didn't like Shao Wanru, and she didn't like Princess Yuyan either. Her nephew said that Princess Mo from Qingjun Palace was his backer and his niece, so of course she would help Princess Mo.
As for where Wei Dahai's niece comes from, Aunt Wei doesn't care, just have it! Besides, this is the Princess of Qing County...
