In the evening of that day, Nanny Qin came with the Queen Mother’s condolences and rewards.
Lihua came down with a set of etiquette, took the reward, and saluted solemnly in the direction of Zhuangning Palace: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness. I also ask Aunt Qin to go back and tell me that everything is fine for me. I will go to Zhuangning Palace in two days when I am ready."
Thank you to the Queen Mother."
At this time, Nanny Qin still didn’t know the true meaning of Lihua’s words.
She only felt that Lihua was really grateful for the Queen Mother's kindness, and she had to prepare solemnly for two days even to thank the Queen Mother. It was really thoughtful.
Nanny Qin didn’t think much about it. She had another important purpose for coming here.
Lihua asked someone to keep the reward. She happened to have something to talk to Nanny Qin about.
After finishing the condolence errand, Nanny Qin wiped her sweat and lamented that she was too busy these days, and many things happened, so she didn't sit down and have a good chat.
Lihua nodded in agreement and said yes, it’s a rare opportunity. The weather is hot, so grandma will have a cup of tea before leaving.
The two seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding and hit it off immediately, chatting enthusiastically.
From tea drinking to summer, from summer to daily trivial matters, from daily trivial matters to spices, jewelry, clothing maintenance, etc.
Thanks to Wu Zhu and Wu Lan, Lihua learned a lot about the hobbies of women of this era during the three years she studied in Wu Mansion.
But after talking to the well-informed old nanny in the palace, it was obvious that I got a lot of sublimation.
During this period, Nanny Qin's eyes flashed, and she started chatting: "Wu Mei, to tell you the truth, the Queen Mother thought the sour plum soup was like bitter medicine and refused to drink it, but now she fell in love with it after drinking it. Oh, it's really good.
."
With a smile on her face, she changed the topic: "What a coincidence, today's sour plum soup was sent by Long Live Master. I actually have the same recipe. Do you know where it came from?"
Lihua smiled and said: "Mommy, you have to ask Long Live Master about this, but I don't want to show off to you."
Nothing is said in one sentence, but everything is said. Everything is said without saying anything. It depends on what people think.
Nanny Qin was refreshed, her guess was confirmed, and she felt faintly excited.
The emperor sent someone to deliver sour plum soup to Zhuangning Palace, which shocked Nanny Qin, and then the Queen Mother.
This further confirmed the two men's speculation that the emperor was different from Lihua.
Aunt Qin came here not only to comfort and express condolences on behalf of the Queen Mother, but also to test the matter.
The emperor doesn't want to make public, doesn't that mean there is a connection between the two, otherwise how would Lihua know?
Nanny Qin couldn't sit still when she got the answer. There was an old lady in Zhuang Ning Palace who stretched her neck in hope. She had to go back quickly.
But how could Lihua let her leave just like that? Women's hobbies were only half-explored. How could they not take this opportunity to start with Aunt Qin to understand the Queen Mother?
After mentioning that the Queen Mother loved to drink sour plum soup, Lihua asked with sincere concern how the Queen Mother's appetite was recently and whether it had improved.
When mentioning this, Nanny Qin was very worried: "The Queen Mother is still the same as before, the weather is too hot and her appetite is not good, alas..."
She sighed and said nothing more.
Lihua sighed and said naturally: "Why don't Nanny Qin tell me what the Queen Mother likes? I will prepare some and take them with me when I go to thank the Queen Mother in two days, so that the Queen Mother will be happy. Maybe once she is happy, her appetite will be better
Where is it?"
Nanny Qin laughed and said, "Wu Mei is interested. If you come over, the Queen Mother will be very happy."
The Queen Mother is the most noble woman in the world, there is nothing she wants.
So when she heard Nanny Qin jokingly mention that Lihua had carefully prepared something she liked, she felt at ease in her heart: "Okay, okay, she is a good and thoughtful child."
But she didn’t expect that Lihua could really come up with something she liked.
What the Queen Mother wants most is to have a grandson, but this will not happen for a while.
But she saw hope, and she gossiped with Nanny Qin: "Do you think the emperor and Wu Meiren have already...? It's a pity that it's hard to look up Tong's history."
This rule was revised by a certain emperor of this dynasty decades ago. Only concubines should consult Tong Shi to verify the date when they are pregnant. Otherwise, they are not allowed to consult Tong Shi easily when there are no important events.
Mrs. Lien
The Queen and the Empress are no exception.
It seems that this rule has something to do with the main hall of Tingli Academy. Decades ago, a certain queen personally competed with the concubine for favor and did something to Tong Shi. The queen mother at that time directly killed the concubine, causing the concubine to die.
Two lives were wronged and died.
After the emperor of that generation learned the truth, he held the body of the concubine in his arms and was filled with grief. In a rage, he threw the queen into the cold palace. Since then, he changed the rules and it has been passed down to this day.
The Queen Mother would not dare to go to great lengths to check Tong's.
She said angrily: "The emperor is too well-hidden. Is it possible that even my mother, the queen, has to hide it?"
After a second thought, I thought: "Well, the tree is big and attracts the wind, so it's better not to let so many people know about it."
Isn’t Wu Fang’er a lesson to others?
The monster in the harem has not yet been found, so the Queen Mother agrees to do this.
The hope of having a grandson has appeared before her eyes. The Queen Mother is very eager and wants to call people to have a look, but she knows not to show too much impatience.
She had a dreamlike feeling: "Has Wu Meiren ever said anything about her getting along with the emperor?"
I always feel that things have changed too quickly, and it seems fake, which makes the Queen Mother have an unreal feeling.
Aunt Qin was very helpless.
The Communist Party mentioned something relevant, and Nanny Qin told the Queen Mother.
But the Queen Mother thought a lot from one sentence, and even thought about what kind of clothes her grandchildren should wear, which made Grandma Qin dumbfounded.
She saw what the Queen Mother meant and explained: "My Majesty, how can Wu Mei dare to say more without the Long Live Lord speaking? But that sour plum soup is really real!"
The Queen Mother nodded repeatedly: "Sour plum soup, yes, yes, yes, the Ai family will have another bowl."
The Queen Mother was in high spirits and prepared to take advantage of the concubine's greetings the next day to take a good look at Lihua, especially to see if her belly was bulging.
Unexpectedly, fate is not as good as fate. She was in high spirits, didn't sleep well all night, and had a severe headache the next day. She had no choice but to say hello.
Until the third day, Lihua came over to express her gratitude as promised.
Lihua said she would go to Zhuangning Palace in two days, so she really spent two days, one day is not bad.
In the past two days, Lihua prepared several plans tailor-made for the Queen Mother.
She laid out the rules and revised them every day.
Zhichun took a look and gasped: "Master, is this too..." strict for an old man?
Lihua thought about it for a while and agreed: "It makes sense, but you still have to go and diagnose it yourself." What if the dosage needs to be increased?
Wu Xue has been fooling around somewhere for the past two days and has not shown up.
Zhichun feels that this big cat is quite easy to care for sometimes, and this sometimes refers to when it does not appear.
Yuchi Gong came here twice, taking a lunch break each time before leaving. Coming to Tingli Courtyard was as comfortable as going to his bedroom.
The case of Wu Fang'er followed the disfiguring poison, Zhuang Ning Palace clothes and relatives outside Linglong Palace, etc., and finally pointed to one person.
As for the other person who is hiding very deep, all the clues are gone.
