Chapter 223 cordially express condolences to the other parent
In the beginning, Lihua chatted with whatever the Queen Mother said. The two chatted happily and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Slowly, the Queen Mother unknowingly accepted Lihua's guidance, gradually lost herself in Lihua's admiring eyes, and talked about many of her own affairs.
Lihua did two things at once, guiding the Queen Mother, observing the problems between the lines and descriptions, and constantly writing down the key points.
Poor complexion, black eyes, and a history of long-term insomnia;
Cold hands, easy palm sweating, signs of physical weakness;
Insufficient endurance, inability to sit for long periods of time, difficulty in supporting muscles, lumbar muscle strain, and shoulder and neck discomfort;
Being immobile all day long, lacking exercise, seriously lacking core strength, and prone to fatigue;
She doesn’t stay in the sun all year round, her skin color is abnormally white, she lacks vitamin D, and she has signs of hair loss;
Poor appetite, bloating after eating too much, slow gastrointestinal motility...
Lihua felt confident that these apparent symptoms were not very different from her previous judgment, and she knew what to do.
The Queen Mother thinks that the little girl Lihua is very interesting and cares about her body. She is very smart, understands everything, speaks sincerely and has a lot of knowledge.
Occasionally, I can also come up with a lot of new things, my ideas are wild and unconstrained, and it’s very interesting.
For example, when the two of them talked about summer vacation, the Queen Mother mentioned that she went to the summer resort in previous years and felt that everything was good, except that the boat and carriage were tiring and the journey was too slow. She only sat for half a day and her whole body became stiff.
Lihua agreed very much and said, yes, sitting still is tiring at ordinary times, not to mention the Queen Mother and Long Live Lord have to maintain their manners. If there is someone who can fly in the sky, dive in the water, or run without a horse, the seven-day journey will take several hours.
It would be great if we could just finish it.
The Queen Mother laughed. There is no such thing. She is really a simple little girl, childish.
Lihua smiled and said that she would later have the opportunity to make a big ball flying in the sky for the Queen Mother to see, but now that the heat is coming, it is more important to escape the heat. First, let’s build a cooling room for the Queen Mother. The temperature is suitable, cool and comfortable, so that the Queen Mother can feel better.
Some.
The Queen Mother said how much ice would be needed. Even though she was the Queen Mother, she would not be so extravagant.
Lihua said there was no need for ice, just leave it to her.
The Queen Mother patted Pear Blossom's hand repeatedly and was very happy, saying that if there was such a thing, Zhuang Ning Palace would arrange it as she pleased, but in her heart she thought that the little girl was very filial, but it was too unrealistic.
The two had a pleasant conversation, and the Queen Mother didn't feel bored at all. The more they chatted, the more they talked. Somehow, they talked about spices and aromatherapy.
The Queen Mother has seen all kinds of expensive spices and aromatherapy.
Incense sticks, coiled incense, tower incense, incense pills, incense powder, etc. are always in use in Zhuang Ning Palace, and they are incense-scented every day.
Lihua said with admiration that the empress is really an expert in incense, and she is very particular about the use of incense. Every time she comes to say hello, the incense she smells is different, and it is very consistent with the scene at that time.
The Queen Mother did not expect that Lihua noticed these details, and was very happy that someone understood and appreciated them.
Lihua went on to say that she had seen other incense, such as incense candles, which spread out fragrance with just one click, which was very convenient.
There are also aromatherapy essential oils. You only need to put a few diffusers to slowly diffuse the fragrance. There is no smoke to choke people, and the air will not be turbid after being smoked for a long time, making people feel happy and relaxed.
Mentioning this point, Lihua also mentioned various essential oils. In addition to being used for aromatherapy, they can also be used for skin care. They can be used for body massage, and they can also be made into skin care cream for daily skin care.
The Queen Mother heard that it was novel. She had always liked these things, but there was nothing so fresh. She couldn't imagine rubbing a bunch of spices on her body, not even fragrant powder.
The pear blossoms raised little pear swirls and said sweetly: "Empress Dowager, yes, I will come to thank you in two days. I am preparing some essential oils for incense. I have brought them here now. You can take a look and try them out."
?"
After the court, Yuchi Gong returned to Cangchen Hall and asked Wu Dingbang to come.
He wanted to learn from the folk and have a good conversation with his father-in-law. This was the result of his careful consideration.
When the others came to the palace to salute, Yuchi went down and helped the person up personally, with a kind smile on his face: "Wu Aiqing, please get up. You have recovered well. Is there anything serious?"
After Wu Dingbang was rescued, the emperor specially allowed him to rest for some time, and today is the first day he will return to court.
Wu Dingbang noticed that the emperor looked at him very gently today, and he noticed it during the court meeting.
In this dynasty, when Yuchi Gong was very gentle to a minister, the minister would start to wonder whether his grooming was not done right or whether he had made some mistake recently.
After all, their long-lived master always spoke gently when he went to court, and with a smile on his face, he ordered the imperial army to kill people and throw them out.
Moreover, the gentler their smile is, the colder the words they speak, which makes people unable to argue, leaving bruises on their faces.
At this moment, Wu Dingbang was being helped up by himself, and the panic in his heart almost overflowed.
This is so unusual, he must have done something wrong!
It’s not surprising that Wu Dingbang thought so. The main reason was that the emperor sent people from the palace to the Wu Mansion every day to express condolences to him in the past few days, focusing on how he was doing, how Mrs. Wu was doing, etc., and changed his behavior.
Wu Dingbang was very moved at first and expressed his gratitude to the emperor for his great kindness. However, as he came more often, he gradually became more mentally stressed.
It's not that he has no courage, but in fact, someone comes to the palace every day, and the content of condolences is the same every day, especially if it comes from an emperor who can make countless people speculate about his words, so no one can panic.
Wu Dingbang couldn't even sleep well, and he began to wonder if he had dissatisfied the emperor by recuperating for too long and delaying official duties.
So he hurried back to the court without resting for a few days. If he continued to rest, he was afraid that his career would be over.
After all, the emperor has recently been reorganizing various ministries and yamen, and I don’t know which genius provided the emperor with a countdown method.
Nowadays, for every errand in every yamen, the emperor sends someone to send a countdown, and a page is torn out every day, which makes the courtiers' heartstrings tighten, fearing that they will not be completed by the time, and the efficiency is unprecedentedly high.
At this time, Wu Dingbang subconsciously admitted his mistake and resolutely said: "Thank you for your concern. I am in good health. I can handle official business today without any delay!"
Yuchi gave a respectful pause. He had never seen and had no experience in how people get along with their father-in-law and son-in-law, but his intuition was not like this.
Yu Chigong had a good impression of Wu Dingbang, a capable official, and he was easy to use.
Coupled with Lihua's relationship, he is willing to give others some face.
Especially in order to capture Yang Zhixu alive, Wu Dingbang was in danger and almost lost his life. In order to save Yang Zhixu, he was likely to be injured by a poisonous arrow.
Yuchi Gong broke into a cold sweat afterwards. Although he had ordered the shadow guards to rescue Wu Dingbang, when there was a conflict with capturing Yang Zhixu alive, the shadow guards would definitely choose the latter because he had given the order to capture Yang Zhixu alive.
If the little thief knew this, I wonder what he would think of him.
So Yuchi Gong sent people to care about Wu Dingbang every day to make up for it, because he was afraid that if something happened to him, he would not be able to tell the thief.
Yu Chigong thought about it at this time and felt that the other party was too nervous and was not the kind of warm and welcoming direction he wanted.
So he showed his concern again: "Don't be too busy. It's important to take good care of your body first. I heard that Wu Aiqing was stabbed by a gangster in the Arsenal Department. How is it now?"
