Although Empress Changsun was seriously ill, she still cheered up today and asked the palace maids to help her change clothes, and even put on a light make-up.
The queen with light makeup didn't look so haggard, especially with the lipstick on her lips.
"Guanyin Maid, the lipstick you put on today is particularly beautiful." Li Shimin looked at his wife and praised with a smile, but actually he felt very sad. The queen was too sick and weak, and even with makeup, she couldn't hide her haggard appearance.
"Today I applied the sacred sandalwood heart. I think it looks a bit more beautiful."
"Oh, it turns out to be a sacred sandalwood heart. It looks good and smells good. I like it." Li Shimin said, holding the queen's hand and praising it.
He tried hard to find some relaxing topics, hoping to make today's atmosphere more relaxed, "Where did you buy this from?"
"Qianjintang is the pharmacy in the country of Prime Minister Wu. His family's Qianjintang is now the largest pharmacy in Chang'an. It not only has many doctors and raw and cooked medicines, but also sells fragrant medicines, perfumes, facial oils, soaps, etc., which are all very famous.
Yes. Just say that their lipstick has eighteen colors.
Each lipstick also uses 18 kinds of spices, so his lipsticks are both beautiful and fragrant,"
Empress Changsun smiled and said to her husband that she would not usually talk to her husband about this, but at this time she followed her husband's words and chatted about this, smiling from time to time, as if she had returned to the time when we were a young couple.
The lipsticks produced by Qianjintang come in eighteen colors, each of which uses eighteen kinds of spices, which is dazzling. After adding beeswax, it not only greatly improves the moisturizing and durability of the lipstick, but also does not stick to the cup.
Compared with the lipsticks from Wujia Qianjintang, the lipsticks from other brands are much inferior. The Jiajian lipstick, which is said to be the formula of Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, is only composed of fourteen spices.
"This set of Qianjintang's eighteen-color lipstick was given to me by Changle as a gift."
Li Shimin came out holding the queen who was wearing light makeup,
The two of them were smiling and in a good mood. Cheng Qian and Li Tai also helped Huai Yu pass on the dishes and arrange the dishes.
Originally, meals in the palace were always divided into separate meals, with each person having several dishes and each eating his own food. Today, Huaiyu suggested sharing the meal and getting a round table.
Li Shimin, Empress Changsun, and their five children, as well as Princess Yuzhang who was raised by Empress Changsun, plus Wu Huaiyu.
A table of nine people.
Huaiyu didn't want to serve at the table, but Empress Changsun strongly invited her.
So at this table, the family brought an outsider.
Princess Yuzhang was originally born to a concubine. Her mother died in childbirth. After she was born, Princess Yuzhang was raised by the eldest grandson Queen and treated as if she was already born.
The six princes and princesses are considered to have the same mother, so they originally had a good relationship. However, the relationship between the King of Wei and the Crown Prince became more subtle, especially when the emperor did some dirty tricks, which inevitably led to the birth of the obese Li Tai.
some ambitions,
Naturally, the relationship between brothers is not harmonious.
But today, in front of the queen, the emperor also made his attitude clear, and he was very kind to his eldest son Cheng Qian.
Cheng Qianze also sincerely criticized himself in front of his parents, brothers, sisters and teachers, and apologized to his father, saying that he had made mistakes before.
Li Shimin graciously accepted and understood Cheng Qian.
Then Li Shimin also formally explained and even retracted some of the things he had said before that he shouldn't have said in front of the Queen and Li Tai.
For example, the emperor solemnly stated that Cheng Qian was the eldest son born to him and the empress, and he was also the crown prince for six years. He had always been smart, studious, and very wise. He had made some small mistakes before, but it would be good if he knew his mistakes and could correct them.
"Cheng Qian, you were a good prince before, and you will be a good prince in the future. I will still leave this world to you in the future."
"Qingque, you are smart and studious. This is good. If you want to compile a geographical record, I support you. You, Cheng Qian and Pheasant Nu are all brothers from the same mother. In the future, you and Pheasant Nu will help you well.
Brother..."
"I have already thought about it. When you are eighteen years old, I will divide you into feudal states and establish a country. You will become a vassal state, a vassal state, and a hereditary descendant, and you will be the frontier of the Tang Dynasty."
The fat Li Tai always had a smile on his face, but looking at today's scene, especially when he heard the emperor's words about enfeoffment, he still couldn't help but feel shocked, and his smile became a little stiff and forced.
But he is also smart. On today's occasion, he can't say anything else and can only respond with a smile.
Father is kind and son is filial, brothers and sisters are respectful, brothers and sisters have deep love...
A rare scene of deep love between the Tian family in the Zhengzheng Palace.
The queen was seriously ill and had no appetite. She also had severe gas problems and had to avoid many things. The queen did not eat much of the health porridge Huaiyu prepared for the queen.
But she was very satisfied with today's meal and was in good spirits.
Huaiyu, an outsider, didn't interrupt, let alone try to overshadow the guest, and just listened to the family saying some warm words.
It took about half an hour to finish this meal.
Huaiyu was afraid that the queen would not be able to hold on anymore, so he asked the queen to go back to rest when she saw that she was almost there. Li Shimin and Cheng Qian sent the queen back in person, chatted with the queen for a while, and then left after the queen fell asleep.
The meal is over and everyone leaves.
The little fat man was obviously a little disappointed but forced a smile. Cheng Qian seemed to have really untied his heart and walked with his father, and there was no resentment in his eyes anymore.
The princesses and Jin Wang Li Zhi were relatively relaxed. Seeing the queen's appearance today, they all thought that Wu Huaiyu's action would improve the queen's health, and they were very happy.
As for the conflicts between the prince and the emperor, and the king of Wei, they actually didn't know much about it.
"Huaiyu, have you thought about the prescription? If you need any medicine, just tell me and I will definitely get it."
"I will study it carefully when I get back. After I prepare the prescription, I will ask the Pharmacy Bureau and the Imperial Medical Office to discuss it together, and then submit it to the sage for review."
Li Shimin trusted Wu Huaiyu, "You can just prescribe it yourself,"
Cheng Qian said on the side, "After the teacher prescribes the medicine, Gu will come and be responsible for decoction. Before serving the medicine, Gu will taste the medicine himself."
"Your Highness, medicine is for treating illnesses. You should not take it randomly when you are not sick. The prince has a filial piety. You can help boil the medicine or feed the medicine, but there is no need to taste the medicine. Even the medicine is still poisonous."
Li Shimin also agreed with this, "You can spend more time with your mother when you have time. You have your own palace servants to cook and serve the medicine, so there is no need to test the medicine."
"My son wants to stay in the Lizheng Hall temporarily so that he can take care of his mother," Cheng Qian said.
"It's good that you have such filial piety. Then you go back to the East Palace to clean up. You can stay in the Lizheng Palace for the next few days and take good care of your mother. You were too ignorant some time ago and made your mother sad. Please make up for it."
"Thank you, Father, for your permission."
Li Shimin patted Cheng Qian and said, "Besides taking care of your mother, remember to read more. You have been idle for a long time recently."
Cheng Qian said in shame, "I know I was wrong."
Li Shimin took Huaiyu to the Wude Palace. He still had many things to discuss with Wu Huaiyu, who had been away from Beijing for more than a year. They included the conquest of the barbarians in Lingnan, the trial of the new two-tax law in Lingnan, and the warrior Xun.
Matters concerning entering the DPRK, etc.
"Come back this time, or you can stay."
In the Hall of Wude, Li Shimin said to him.
When Huaiyu heard the word "need not", he understood clearly in his heart that the emperor had already planned for him to stay in Lingnan.
Otherwise, why bother saying "no"? Just say "stay".
After so many things happened, the emperor still planned for him to stay abroad. It seemed that his previous judgment was correct. Today is different from the past.
In this case, we have to find a way to send Samurai Yu to the political hall.
