However, this scene frightened Grandma Kong, and she quickly asked the servant in the house to ask a doctor to check her arm. The final result was that it was not broken or broken, but it was slightly sprained. She would be fine after a few days of rest.
"Fortunately, it's okay. I really can't fight Ma Diao for half a year. I might as well kill the Ai family with a knife!" The Queen Mother leaned on the back of the chair, patted her chest and sighed.
Mr. He clicked his tongue twice, with a look of disgust on his face, "Look at your useless fool. What fun is there in a horse crane? If you have a chance to visit our Ningyang County in the future, I guarantee that you will never want to go back to the palace again."
The Queen Mother became interested, winked at her and said, "First tell the Ai family what fun things you have over there, and the Ai family will think about it."
"Have you ever climbed a mountain and collected mushrooms? Especially after it rained, there are wild mushrooms all over the mountains and plains, red, green, white, and all kinds of colors. Picking them up, washing them, and frying them at will is better than if you were in the palace.
This feast and that feast we had there were much more delicious!”
Mr. He clapped his fingers and spoke eloquently: "There are also various wild fruits, especially in autumn, including prickly pears, jujubes, mountain grapes..."
The two finally stopped quarreling, and got together to tell interesting stories about the countryside. The others were very wise and did not interrupt, and hid in the shade of the bamboo forest and told ghost stories.
As for why we need to tell ghost stories, there is no other way. We have finished telling stories that are suitable for children, so we can only tell some stories that are not suitable for children.
Half a day passed by in a hurry, and it was time to part ways in a blink of an eye.
Shen Qingqing took advantage of the eve of their departure to ask the Queen Mother about the emperor's treatment. The Queen Mother waved her hands and said sadly, "He is still alive, but he is not living well. He is as tangled as a big rice dumpling on August 15th...
…”
Mother Kong corrected her: "Zongzi are from the Dragon Boat Festival."
"Whether it's Dragon Boat Festival or Mid-Autumn Festival, that's what it means anyway."
The Queen Mother sighed with a heavy heart, "That look is so miserable that the Ai family can't bear to look at it... But you don't have to worry too much. Gu Shitou said that there is no life-threatening danger. I estimate that it will last for a while and wait."
It should be fine once the wound has scabbed over."
Shen Qingqing nodded and comforted her in a gentle voice: "Don't be too sad. Take care of your health. You can come to the General's Mansion to sit down when you have time."
"Don't worry, it will come. He Cubao made the Ai family's hand look like this. She must pay it back no matter what, and the Ai family's good grandchildren..." The Queen Mother waved to Meng Qiyu exaggeratedly, "
Yu'er, the Ai family will definitely bring you a gift next time they come over."
Meng Qiyu also waved to her and said loudly: "Then remember to bring more food, I love meat the most!"
Mr. He burst out laughing, "What, I'll tell you that Yu'er is the world's greatest glutton, and you're still convinced!"
"I'm convinced, I'm convinced this time." The Queen Mother laughed along with her. The gorgeous sunset made the silver threads in her hair shine brightly, and the atmosphere was warm.

Shen Qingqing thought that she would have to wait a while longer for news from the palace, but she didn't expect that on the third day after the Queen Mother left, Gu Jiali came to take them into the palace.
"Has the emperor's health been restored?" Shen Qingqing was confused.
"It's not completely healed, but it's much better than before. As long as you're not too tired, there'll be no problem." Gu Jiali explained: "I told the emperor everything this morning. He really wanted to see the third prince, and
You and Meng Yuan."
"This is not a problem. We can just ask General Zhao to accompany us later." Shen Qingqing looked around and suddenly lowered her voice, "There are no other problems with the emperor, right? Just what I told you last time.
.”
Gu Jiali shook his head, "No."
"That's good." Shen Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, "Master Gu, please wait a moment while I go call Meng Yuan and Yu'er."
The three of them took a carriage sent by the palace. The carriage was spacious and bright, and it also came with drinks and cakes. Meng Qiyu ate all the way, and when they got to the place, everyone was full.
After entering the palace gate, the search and communication links were omitted, and the imperial guards driving the carriage drove the carriage directly outside Chengqian Hall.
This time, the door of Chengqian Hall was wide open, and the interior and exterior were bright and bright. It completely lost the gloomy and depressing feeling last time.
However, the gauze curtain in the room has not yet been removed. Through the hazy light and shadow, you can see a man half lying and half sitting on the soft couch against the wall. Just as the Queen Mother described, he is wrapped in white gauze from head to toe.
Only the eyes are exposed, like a big rice dumpling.
At the same time, the man behind the gauze curtain was also looking at them. He first glanced at Meng Yuan's plump and open forehead, then looked at Shen Qingqing's dark and deep eyes, and finally turned his attention to Meng Qiyu, who was kneeling in a small ball.
Qi Rui sat up slowly while holding on to the edge of the bed, and waved to Meng Qiyu, his voice trembling slightly: "Is this Zhuo Yu? You've grown so big... Come, let me take a good look at you."
Meng Qiyu subconsciously looked back at Shen Qingqing and Meng Yuan, her small hands tightly clenching the corners of her clothes, her expression tangled, obviously she didn't want to go through.
Shen Qingqing cast a comforting look at him, bowed and saluted the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Yu'er may be a little scared. Can you wait until he gets a little more familiar with you before letting him meet you?"
"Yes, I look really scary now." Qi Rui sighed in frustration and stopped trying. He changed the subject and faced the couple: "I heard from Jiali that you were the one who solved the trouble in Xiangcheng?
"
Shen Qingqing is neither humble nor arrogant: "We just did what we should do as citizens of Daqi."
"No, merit is merit, and merit should be rewarded. Is there any right or wrong?" Qi Rui retorted. After speaking, he softened his tone and asked: "Is there any reward you want? Just ask, I will try my best to satisfy you.
.”
Shen Qingqing didn't expect that he would ask this suddenly. After thinking for a moment, she tilted her head and squeezed her eyes like Meng Yuan, then pointed at Meng Qiyu.
The latter understood and said in a clear voice: "Reporting to the Emperor, we only hope that Yu'er can grow up safely and healthily, without being threatened or harmed by anyone. Other than that, we don't need any reward."
"It's great, Yu'er is lucky to meet you." Qi Rui was moved in his heart, and sighed and said: "But you still have to give the rewards that should be given. The rewards and punishments are clear. This is my rule. And you rescued me,
Raising a prince requires a great contribution, so this reward cannot be small."
Shen Qingqing's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a bad feeling. They must not be sealed as officials, and they would be trapped in the capital and unable to return!
What are you afraid of? The next moment, you heard Qi Rui say: "Meng Yuan, I once heard General Zhao say that you are a close disciple of General Fang. You are capable of both literary and military skills, and you are brave and resourceful. I will make you a third-grade mighty general."
, wait until you achieve success in battle one day, and continue to improve."
"Absolutely not!" Meng Yuan knelt down and kowtowed, and sternly refused: "The common people have neither military merit nor actual achievements. They really cannot afford the title of general."
