On this day, kingfishers were singing outside the window, and the sunlight fell among the green leaves, leaving mottled shadows on the ground. Li Sui was standing in front of a tall table, watering a small white jasmine plant on the table.

, the jade-like buds are stained with crystal jade beads, which look like a beautiful face, pure and flawless.

"Precious lady——"

Hearing the voices of Nian Nu and Yu Nu behind him, Li Sui looked sideways, smiled, took out the silk handkerchief and wiped his hands, stepped forward to hold Bao Ying's hand and said with a smile, "How did this happen?"

Bao Ying and Li Sui sat under the window supporting each other, then took the box handed by Hui Rong behind them, pushed it open gently, and inside lay quietly an embroidered fan made of Xiang Fei's bamboo, snow, turquoise, and jade flowers, with a cluster of flowers on the handle.

Azurite beads and tassels.

There was a hint of surprise in Li Sui's eyes, and he immediately took out the fan, and rubbed the two Qiong flowers embroidered on the fan with his fingertips. He felt that they were lifelike and so delicate that one could smell the faint fragrance of the flowers.

"Although I have never seen Qionghua, looking at the fan you embroidered, it seems like I have."

Hearing Li Sui's compliments, Baoying pursed her lips and smiled implicitly. She took the tea handed over by Jade Slave and gently held it with her right hand: "I was lucky enough to go to Guangling with my mother and the others once. At that time, Qionghua was in full bloom and the whole city was awe-inspiring.

It's like the sea, I still remember it like that, and when I embroider it, I can't help but see that scene before my eyes."

After saying this, Baoying took a sip of tea and saw Li Sui in front of her stroking the handle of the fan lovingly, swaying gently, and the cool breeze pushed it away.

At this moment, a maid opened the bead curtain lightly, walked in cautiously, and gave her a bow.

"Princess, Mrs. Precious——"

Li Sui looked for the sound, and saw the maid holding a few hands and saying hurriedly: "Word came from the palace that Her Highness the Queen suddenly suffered from severe vomiting during pregnancy in the past few days and did not want to eat. The saint hurriedly summoned the princess and Lady Bao to come in together.

Please stay with His Highness for a few days."

Hearing this, Li Sui raised his eyes and slowly stood up. Seeing this, Baoying stood up quickly and said worriedly: "How could this happen?"

Sensing that Li Sui's face was not good, Baoying also knew that Li Sui had been with Empress Yang since childhood, and their friendship must be extraordinary, so he reached out to Li Sui's arm with his right hand, and put his left hand on the back of Li Sui's hand to comfort him: "I heard

The elders said that women have different reactions during pregnancy due to their different constitutions, so you should not be too worried. Your Highness Hongfu will be cared for by a group of imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital, so it will be better."

Hearing this, Li Sui nodded to Baoying, then collected his emotions and said, "Since His Majesty has summoned us, let's pack things up early and go to the palace for a visit right now."

After entering the palace again, the carriage rolled slowly over the floor tiles of Xuande Gate. Li Sui, who was sitting in the carriage, quietly leaned his head against the carriage wall and pretended to close his eyes to rest, but his heart was already tightly entangled with the past.

In the previous life, my sister was unwell during pregnancy and had morning sickness almost every day. At that time, the whole hospital said it was because of the hard work of having her first child, so she forced herself to drink bowl after bowl of anti-fetal medicine every day. The emperor, the mother

The Wei Mansion also sent almost all the best supplements to the Li Zheng Palace.

But when it finally came to giving birth, most of the others were a bit plump during pregnancy, but Sister Dudu was so thin that her belly was not too protruding, and the child she gave birth to was even thinner and pitiful, crying as loudly as her breasts.

He is as frail as a cat. Although he is the son of an emperor and empress, and has been carefully cared for by the entire Imperial Medical Office, he was unable to survive even the spring cold at the beginning of next spring because of a small cold.

In the past, people thought this was destiny, but now that he had experienced it, Li Sui no longer believed it.

When the two arrived at the Li Zheng Hall, Li Sui skipped a group of court ladies who were saluting and walked straight towards Queen Yang's bedroom. However, it was completely different from the last time they came. When they walked to the door, they were hit by the strong and bitter smell of herbs.

It almost lingered around the entire hall, lingering, as if even the corners of his clothes were stained with that bitter smell when he walked, making people feel suffocated and depressed that they couldn't breathe. Li Sui's feet couldn't help but pause, and his heart gradually

It really didn't feel good, so I walked in even faster the next moment.

Turning around the hollow door, Li Sui vaguely saw the figure of Queen Yang through the gauze. The palace lady in front of her softly opened the bead curtain, and Li Sui walked in with Baoying. When she saw her leaning softly on the couch, she seemed to be

The sleeping Empress Yang felt as if she had been hit hard by someone. Li Sui couldn't help but pause and couldn't bear to move forward.

In order to bring Yun Xiu into the palace quietly, Li Sui had previously used the opportunity of letting Nian Nu enter the palace to deliver food to Queen Yang, and secretly proposed to Queen Yang that Queen Yang would find a reason to summon him into the palace to accompany her.

I originally thought that today was just my sister's pretentious excuse, but now looking at the sister in front of me, Li Sui was speechless. He only felt that his throat was stuck, and his eyes gradually turned red.

Today was only half a month away from the last time I saw her at the bowing venue, but the sister in front of her was completely different from before, and she almost didn't dare to recognize her.

I saw Queen Yang, who was as sick as silk, lying on the couch with a weak spirit. She had lost her appearance. The clothes that should have fit her were not supported at all. Her face was so beautiful and fair in the past.

Now covered with an abnormal layer of sallow, her lips are pale with only a little blood. Just from this glance, it can be seen that she is not healthy. Maybe she has unstable sleep. Empress Yang on the bed frowned slightly and was restless even when she slept.

, as if aware of their arrival at this moment, Queen Yang slowly opened her eyes tiredly in the silence. When she saw Li Sui and Li Sui standing not far away, a gentle smile instantly appeared on her face and eyes, and she stretched out her hand, but only

Neng managed to call out: "Come on, come in quickly."

Hearing her sister's angry voice, Li Sui hurriedly stepped forward. Baoying followed suit and walked over to salute. He saw that Li Sui in front of him had already held Empress Yang's hand.

After holding this hand, Li Sui was shocked to find that Sister A was only twenty-two now, so thin that she could feel the bones under her wrist. There was still a young woman's hand under this palm, but only a layer of soft and loose skin remained.

It was just flesh, Li Sui's fingertips were trembling slightly and numb, and he felt extremely cold in his heart.

He raised his head and looked at the haggard sister in front of him. How could he ever have the courage and vitality to ride a horse and play ball with her?

Li Sui couldn't help but feel sad, and an uncontrollable sadness rose from her chest. She had to turn her head, trying to suppress the urge to cry, and tried to calm down.

Seeing Li Sui's tears passing by but trying to hold back, Empress Yang smiled softly and took a silk handkerchief to gently wipe the hair on her temples caused by the rush.

Bo Han said: "What's wrong? I look more and more ugly."

Seeing that even though Empress Yang applied powder, she still couldn't cover up the slight spots under her eyes, and looked exhausted, Li Sui still raised a comforting smile, leaned down slightly, and asked Empress Yang to raise her hands without using too much force.

Then she slowly shook her head and said, "No, I look good at any time."

Empress Yang smiled and retracted her hand, not wanting to see the girl's sad look anymore. When she lowered her head, she happened to see the fan in Li Sui's hand.

"This fan... is quite nice."

When Li Sui heard this, he looked over and knew that Sister A was changing the subject, so he couldn't bear to say anything more. He just covered up the sourness in his heart, looked sideways at Baoying behind him, stretched out his hand and said, "This is Baoying's craftsmanship."

After hearing this, Queen Yang looked over and saw a girl with good looks and elegant temperament walking over. She bowed, then took Li Sui's outstretched hand and smiled gracefully.

"What a beautiful lady."

While praising her, Empress Yang glanced at the fan in Li Sui's hand and said, "This embroidery work is even more exquisite."

"If Your Highness likes it, Baoying can also embroider one for Your Highness."

Seeing Baoying's watery eyes revealing the girl's clarity and sincerity, Empress Yang felt as if she had returned to her young boudoir, and nodded softly with a gentle smile.

"Sisters, you and I don't want to be called each other in such a formal way. Just call me Ajie together with Aman."

Seeing that Queen Yang in front of her was so gentle and close, Baoying felt warm in her heart. She nodded quickly and said, "What do you want to embroider? It's just that my craftsmanship is not as good as that of the palace, it's a bit rough."

"My sister is ashamed of herself."

Empress Yang smiled and lowered her head, as if she were touching the fragile treasure in the world. She carefully stroked the dress on her lower abdomen and looked at the hibiscus flower on it: "If you are free, you can embroider a hibiscus flower for me."

good."

Seeing that her sister's side face at this moment was becoming more and more gentle under the light, faintly filled with the brilliance that comes only from being a mother, Li Sui couldn't help but tilt his head and tried his best to smile.

"I just passed by the garden, and I saw that the hibiscus in the garden seemed to have bloomed."

As he said that, Li Sui silently glanced at the jade-colored water spring bottle placed not far away and said, "If you pick it and put it in the temple, it will add a bit of color."

Baoying, who was beside her with such a delicate heart, glanced at Li Sui who was sitting next to her, and naturally understood the meaning, and immediately cooperated and said: "I will go to the garden and bring back some branches for Sister."

Seeing this, Empress Yang nodded softly and said, "That's fine. You are entering the palace for the first time, so you can take a look at the scenery in the garden."

As soon as she finished speaking, Empress Yang ordered the maidservant beside her to follow Baoying and go to the garden.

"I heard that my sister has not been eating well recently. I happen to have a girl next to me who is very good at cooking, so I taught them to make some Qingfeng rice specially. I took the best crystal rice and added some long eye powder and sour bayberry. Because

As my sister is pregnant now, the minced borneol is not put away. After it is steamed, it is topped with a layer of buttermilk. Although it is not iced, I have tasted it. The sweetness and sourness are just right. It is a good way to relieve summer heat, increase appetite, and relieve morning sickness.

thing."

As Li Sui spoke, he motioned for Nian Nu behind him to come forward and offer food. Jia Mo saw this and picked up a chopstick to try and take two bites before passing it to Queen Yang. Queen Yang had no appetite at first, but

Seeing Li Sui's expectant look, he finally took the small bowl and brought it closer. He could smell the fragrance of frankincense overflowing in the bowl, along with the fragrance of rice. It was sprinkled with red bayberries, which added a little more.

I liked it very much. After taking a sip, my lips and teeth were indeed soft and glutinous.

"After all, the people around you are very skilled at craftsmanship."

Hearing Queen Yang's praise, Li Sui smiled and looked at the maid who had just offered the food and said: "It was Qing Zhi and Nian Nu who made it. It's been a hot day recently, and they made a lot of new food. If you like it, sister

, let them serve these two days, and also let them teach the chef how to do it, sister may be able to get in better."

As he spoke, the two people behind Li Sui came forward respectfully to bow. Empress Yang looked over, and she knew Niannu, but the maid next to her was a bit unfamiliar, and her appearance was not outstanding.

He looked very quiet and seemed to have never followed him into the palace before.

Empress Yang glanced at Li Sui and saw Li Sui taking a sip from the tea cup and looking at her with a smile. After thinking about Li Sui's previous proposal, she seemed to understand something, and then glanced at the lips of the two people who were saluting.

Pan Weibu said: "Okay."

When Empress Yang rarely finished the small bowl, she leaned down lazily, looked at the maid aside and said, "I'll talk to Ah Man, you guys go down."

Seeing that everyone was bowing and going down, Queen Yang then said to Nian Nu and the maids beside her: "Tell me again, are there any other ways to get rid of the heat and increase food? It has become more and more difficult for me to eat during the recent heat."

As he spoke, Li Sui carefully helped Empress Yang lie down, then turned to look at Jiamo who was standing aside and said, "I miss the buttermilk cherry a little bit. I'd like to ask Sister Jiamo to get one for me."

Hearing this, Jiamo saw the girl's smiling face, then turned to look at Queen Yang who was nodding, and immediately nodded and said with a smile: "Yes."

Jiamo knew that given her status, Li Sui did not really ask her to be the errand boy, but just asked her to stay outside. This shows that the princess must have something important to discuss with His Highness.

So when she walked out, she called Gong'e to the small kitchen, but she stayed in the outer hall.

When the palace returned to silence, Li Sui turned his head to meet Empress Yang's inquiring gaze, and motioned Yun Xiu to come forward, and then said softly: "Sister, do you still remember Hu Yuan, the imperial physician of the previous dynasty?"

Hearing Li Sui's words, Empress Yang nodded lightly. She didn't know how famous Hu Yuan was. He was ranked among the imperial doctors of the previous dynasty and was respected as the "Medical Saint". His medical skills were far above those of the entire Imperial Medical Office. Unfortunately, he was later involved in the imperial examination.

During a fight in the harem, he was exiled to a distant place. Later, he fell into hysteria and was never heard from again.

"Qingzhi's original name is Yunxiu, and she is Master Hu's granddaughter."

After hearing this, Queen Yang immediately looked at the woman in front of her in surprise, who looked thin and ordinary, with a rather low eyebrow.

"Yunxiu has studied medicine with her grandfather since she was a child, and is deeply familiar with the true inheritance of imperial medical orders. I specially invited her here this time, thinking that if she stays with my sister and takes care of her, it will always make me feel more at ease."

Empress Yang moved her eyes away from the silent Yunxiu and looked closer. Under the sunlight, the girl's profile was glowing with a soft and warm light. She felt warm in her heart. She pulled Li Sui and said softly: "Now

The entire Imperial Medical Office is about to circle around this Li Zheng Palace, yet I still want you to worry about me."

As he spoke, Li Sui pursed his lips and gently rolled up his sleeves for Empress Yang. Qing Zhi nodded lightly, then knelt down in front of the couch and carefully put his hand on Empress Yang's wrist. The surroundings suddenly fell into silence, even the people beside her.
