Chapter 332: Becoming a Rent Collector in Infinite Weirdness 27
"Hmph~"
Qiao Jinhuan curled her lips and snorted, then stretched out her hand to nudge Chu Ji, "It turns out that in Erlang's eyes, I'm just a villain~"
"It doesn't matter. In my eyes, Jin Huan is a peerless beauty that exists in heaven and earth."
Chu Ji hugged him tighter, "It's all because I can't speak that makes you unhappy. But you also know that I haven't read much since I was a child, so don't get angry with me, okay?"
Qiao Jinhuan glared at him, "I'm not that stingy."
"Yes, yes, my Jin Huan is the most generous."
After a few words of coaxing in a low voice, Qiao Jinhuan was willing to give Chu Ji a good look.
Chu Ji looked very happy.
I knew that the girl in my arms was squeamish, but she looked cute and endearing.
Qiao Jinhuan suddenly raised her head and kissed him on the face, "I don't know why, but my temper has suddenly become much louder recently."
"I heard from others that many pregnant women are like this, and they will be fine after giving birth."
"Some want to eat green mango."
The green awns are far away in Qiongzhou, and it's getting hotter and hotter today. It might be transported from there...
Chu Ji thought about it, but when he lowered his eyes and saw the longing eyes of the person in his arms, he nodded involuntarily, "If you want to eat, I'll ask someone to bring it to you."
It is said that the food tastes ordinary, and it is troublesome to transport it, so it is not always available in the palace. Even lychees are only sent in small quantities every year.
Thinking about it, he asked again, "Do you want to eat lychees?"
"think."
Qiao Jinhuan nodded, pulled his clothes and said coquettishly: "Erlang~"
"Okay, okay, I'll get it all for you."
He wouldn't go so far as to treat his sweetheart badly with this little food.
"I knew Erlang treated me the best."
Qiao Jinhuan reached out and hooked his neck, smiling sweetly in his arms.
That laughter, flirtatious and charming, made Chu Ji's mind flood with desires, and an evil fire floated up.
However, Qiao Jinhuan was still restless, and her green-white fingertips were caressing down his chest in a subtle way.
The tight muscles and soft fingertips touch together, and the loose belt falls off with a pull, leaving only the jumping candlelight reflecting the spring scenery in the hall.
Separated from a healthy child, he was cautious while she acted recklessly.
The forbearing and restrained expression on his face pleased her, making her smile even more seductively.
Chu Ji almost failed to leave before dawn.
"Empress~"
After Chu Ji left, Taohong fetched some water and wiped it for Qiao Jinhuan. Her eyes looked worriedly at her slightly protruding belly, "Be careful when doing anything in the relationship during this pregnancy. Why don't you see less of Prince Su recently?"
"It doesn't matter, I have a sense of discretion."
Qiao Jinhuan looked tired and pretended to sleep, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "How is the Queen Mother doing?"
"According to Grandma Cai, the Queen Mother is checking on you recently. We don't know how many people from the Queen Mother are in our palace, Prince Su..."
Qiao Jinhuan waved her hand slightly, "Don't worry about it, she can check it out as she likes. Tomorrow you go to the Queen Mother to ask for leave for me, and say that I am greedy for coolness and used ice to dye the wind and cold. If you have time, you can go and talk to those noble people.
Let’s have a good chat.”
In the past two days, in order to become familiar with the Queen Mother, she went there every day to greet her.
Today, Chu Ji has been struggling a little too hard, and the traces cannot be covered. In the past, she was afraid that the Queen Mother would find out the problem, so she had to wait a few days before talking about it.
"yes."
After Taohong skillfully changed the sheets, she respectfully stepped down.
Smelling the early soothing fragrance in the room, Qiao Jinhuan fell asleep after a while.
The next day, before she got up, Taohong went to Cihe Palace to ask for leave from the Queen Mother.
"So is she. It's not even hot yet, so how can we avoid catching the wind and cold by using ice? No matter how hard you people serve us, you don't even try to persuade her."
The Queen Mother said with some displeasure upon hearing this.
It doesn't matter if Qiao Jinhuan is sick, but don't let anything happen to the child!
"Go back to the Queen Mother, my wife is always afraid of heat, and the servants can't help her."
Taohong pretended to be helpless and said that she was going to hire an imperial doctor for Qiao Jinhuan.
The Queen Mother nodded slightly, "Mr. Du happens to be here, so you can go with Tao Hong to visit the imperial concubine."
Eucommia ulmoides, who came to check the Queen Mother's pulse, responded, her lowered face full of bitterness.
But he still carried the medicine box and followed Taohong to find Qiao Jinhuan.
At that time, Qiao Jinhuan was half asleep and half awake. After a while of dressing up, she leaned on the soft couch, drank the porridge brought by Taohong, put her hand over and let Eucommia ulmoides feel her pulse.
"How is this palace?"
Nature is extremely healthy.
Eucommia felt her pulse and thought about it, and said wisely, "I'm just feeling a little cold. I'll be fine after just two days of rest. There's no need to worry, Madam."
"That's good. I didn't go to see my mother to say hello today. I only heard that my mother's condition has improved a little. What did Dr. Du say?"
Qiao Jinhuan asked casually.
"The Queen Mother is naturally in good health. I'm looking at you. She should be well in seven or eight days."
"Seven or eight days? Doctor Du, my mother's health is related to the stability of the country and is a top priority. You have to show your housekeeping skills~"
Hearing this, Du Zhong's face changed slightly.
After hesitating for a long time, he could only nod with a wry smile, "Yes, I will definitely do my best."
Seeing this, Qiao Jinhuan slightly raised her lips and said in a low voice, "How about three days?"
"……good."
Three days?
This noble concubine is really cruel.
Seeing that the Queen Mother's health was getting worse day by day, she was still not satisfied and wanted him to speed up the time of the Queen Mother's death.
After bidding farewell to Qiao Jinhuan and going out, Eucommia ulmoides could not help but sigh. When she turned back to report to the Queen Mother, she only said that Qiao Jinhuan was indeed infected with the cold, but it had no effect on the child.
The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief.
"Cough~cough...Mrs. Du, the Ai family is feeling increasingly powerless. How long do you think the Ai family can last?" asked the Queen Mother.
Du Zhong pursed her lips and said, "Your Majesty is already weak, and she has been getting more and more worried about court affairs recently. I'm afraid..."
"What's the matter? Just say it, the Ai family can bear it."
"As short as three to five days, as long as seven or eight days, the disease may break out completely."
Time is so short?
The Queen Mother's brows instantly furrowed and she said, "Go down. Do not tell anyone about this matter."
"Yes, Wei Chen resigns."
Three or five days~
The Queen Mother only felt that every booklet in front of her was a reminder, but she had to read it.
The words on the memorial suddenly seemed blurry in her eyes.
It seems...it's time for her to make a decision!
"Come here, tell the noble concubine and ask her to come to the Ai family tomorrow to attend to her illness."
Among the civil and military officials of the dynasty and the palace, there is no more suitable candidate to take care of the orphan than the imperial concubine!
Qiao Jinhuan smiled when he heard this and respectfully sent away the maid who came to deliver the Queen Mother's message.
"Your Majesty, what's going on with the Queen Mother? There are so many people in the harem, and she can't choose anyone. She has to ask you to serve. You are still pregnant with a child, how can you bear such trouble?"
Taohong complained angrily.
Qiao Jinhuan raised his hand and tapped her head lightly, "Idiot Taohong, this is a good thing, I can only ask for it."
