Seeing this, Lu Qingtang pretended to put in a good word for Concubine Ning, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. My mother-in-law also has a bad temper because of the death of my uncle. Don't argue with her."
"Don't mention it, hey..." The emperor said, looking around, and then asked Lu Qingtang, "Princess Chen, did you see Wang Cairen coming today?"
Lu Qingtang immediately felt happy. It seemed that His Majesty was already interested in his mother-in-law.
So she pretended not to understand and asked, "Which Wang Cairen is he?"
The emperor was stunned for a moment, "Of course he is the one who makes clothes for the emperor's grandson. Is there a second Wang Cairen?"
"Yes, there is another one. I heard that he entered the palace two years ago." Lu Qingtang looked innocent, and then said, "Just now I saw Wang Cairen and Concubine Shu going there to play together. How about we Come and have a look.”
The emperor nodded and reached out to hold Mo Bao in his arms. Mo Mo was held by the nanny, and the group arrived at Lanting.
Far away, I saw the concubine Shu, who was luxuriously dressed and heavily made up. She made the Wang Cairen next to her look beautiful. The years did not leave any trace on her face, but made her more calm.
"I have met Your Majesty." Concubine Shu and Wang Cairen immediately stepped forward to salute.
Lu Qingtang and Concubine Shu looked at each other with pride in their eyes.
The emperor hugged Concubine Shu's son absentmindedly, but his eyes drifted to Wang Cairen.
Wang Cairen had not seen the emperor for a long time and had long lost feelings for him. Suddenly he felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at him. The wind in April and May was still a bit chilly, which made her face feel cold, and her cheeks turned red, like a shy girl.
Lu Qingtang coughed twice when he saw this, and Wang Cairen immediately covered his mouth and started coughing.
"Maybe I got wind after being out for a long time. Sister, please go back quickly." Concubine Shu immediately became worried.
Wang Cairen nodded, said goodbye to His Majesty, and left alone.
The emperor watched helplessly, wanting to keep her, but fearing that she would get more seriously ill from the rheumatic disease again, so he had no choice but to let her leave.
He looked a little obsessed and almost forgot that he was holding the child in his arms. He didn't recover until he heard the child's cry.
Lu Qingtang sneered and glanced at Concubine Shu, who was also full of disdain.
If a man wants to be obsessed with him, he must stay away from her and play hard to get.
To put it harshly, the key to hooking up and hooking up is to hook up first before you can hook up. The hook up must be stable before you can hook up after hooking up.
One day later, Wang Cairen was promoted to Wang Meiren.
A woman who had not been favored for a long time was not forgotten by old age and beauty. Instead, she was promoted to a higher position, and His Majesty did not have any luck. This undoubtedly shocked everyone in the palace.
"You're so old and you can still win His Majesty's favor. What's going on?"
"So what? Maybe your Majesty will see her when you go to the garden one day and come up with something on the spur of the moment. Your Majesty is always kind, but he just pities her."
"It's just that it's a joke that someone at this age in the palace can still be favored, let alone a woman who has given birth to a dead baby. How unlucky!"
…
Kou Dan walked to the corridor and heard a few little palace maids discussing. He immediately stepped forward and said coldly: "You dare to discuss the master's affairs, don't you want to lose your head!"
Several palace maids immediately turned pale with fright, "I don't dare to do it anymore. Please don't tell Sister Kuo Dan."
"I won't tell anyone else, but you should watch your mouth and go about your business." Kou Dan's expression softened a little.
The palace maids thanked them profusely and immediately dispersed. Kou Dan sneered again, "I only said it not for others to hear. I didn't say it not for the princess to hear. The princess is not anyone else."
After returning to the side hall, she immediately told Lu Qingtang what she had just heard.
Lu Qingtang fed the two babies with pumpkin milk paste. After listening to Kou Dan's words, he said: "Kou Dan, you did the right thing. You don't have to be polite to deal with these gossips, and you can't go too far."
"Actually, I didn't think much about it. I was afraid that these people would damage the reputation of the princess and spread the word that it was because our palace, Prince Chen, was jealous of the concubine's favor." Kou Dan told Lu Qingtang what he was thinking.
Lu Qingtang nodded. She put down the empty bowl in her hand and asked the two wet nurses to take the babies down to wash their faces. She stood up and patted Kou Dan on the shoulder, "Let's go find Sumu."
Su Mu was preparing medicine for Wang Cairen at the Imperial Hospital. This time it was Shiquan Dabu Decoction, which was a good warming and tonic recipe.
Ginseng, cinnamon, Ligusticum chuanxiong, rehmannia glutinosa, poria, atractylodes, licorice, astragalus, ginger, jujube, etc. are used.
While she was boiling medicine, she chatted with a young imperial doctor. Doctor Xiaotai had a handsome face and elegant speech.
Kou Dan snickered in front of the door and whispered to Lu Qingtang: "Looking at how handsome Dr. Xiao Tai is, Su Mu has forgotten what he is doing, right?"
"Keep your voice down, Su Mu will be embarrassed after hearing this." Lu Qingtang said and couldn't help laughing.
The two walked forward and stood watching them both.
There was a shy smile in Su Mu's eyes, which never moved away from the little doctor, who also smiled shyly.
"Brother Feiyang, you are so amazing, how can you know so much." Su Mu held his little face in his hands, his cheeks flushed.
Chen Feiyang lowered his head and smiled lightly, "I have been studying medicine since I was a child, and I am naturally familiar with medical science. If Miss Su Mu has something she doesn't understand in the future, you can always ask me. But your princess can also do it, I'm afraid she will have to do her own thing. .”
"How could it be possible? My princess is the most generous. Maybe she will discuss it with you." Su Mu said quickly.
Lu Qingtang smiled at Kou Dan beside him, and said slowly: "I don't care. If your prince finds out, he will probably get jealous again. Don't try to hurt me!"
As soon as these words came out, both of them stood up, their faces stained with crimson, just like a boy and girl who were in love for the first time. They looked panicked, and all of them buried their heads in their chests, not daring to look up at Lu Qingtang.
"Princess, why didn't you say anything when you came in?" Su Mu whispered, constantly grabbing the skirt of his clothes with his hands.
Kou Dan joked, "If I don't come here, I'm afraid that the soup will be boiled down before I know it. I'm even more afraid that some people will sell our princess."
She curled her lips as she spoke and bent down to look at the soup pot.
Su Mu blushed and did not dare to speak for a long time. When Chen Feiyang saw this, he immediately said: "No, Princess Chen, you misunderstood. I was the one who chatted with Miss Su Mu. Don't blame the girl. If the princess wants to blame, blame me."
After saying that, Chen Feiyang bowed to Lu Qingtang to express his apology.
Lu Qingtang pursed his lips and smiled, "It's just a joke. Why should Mr. Chen take it seriously? It's just a chat. I blame you for what you did."
She looked at Su Mu, and Su Mu also looked up at her, the shyness in his eyes rising again.
