The Queen Mother couldn't help but take a sip.
It's like...a land that has been experiencing drought for a long time!
The Queen Mother drank all the water in the tea bowl in one go, "One more bowl."
Grandma Gong was stunned, "Master, drink slowly..."
What should I do if I vomit after drinking so hard?
The Queen Mother didn't want to endure it. It was uncomfortable to endure hunger, and it was even more uncomfortable to endure thirst.
The most important thing is that she doesn't feel nauseated or vomiting at all now.
She drank three bowls in a row until Wen Yu's wine bag ran out of water, then she licked her lips, still wanting more.
"How did your mother prepare it?" the Queen Mother was curious.
"The dew on the lotus leaves, the bamboo liquid flowing out of the bamboo, plus the mountain spring water brought from the palace."
Wen Yu answered fluently. He was neither afraid nor deliberately flattering people who felt hypocritical and uncomfortable.
…
Siqin finally got the news belatedly that the Queen Mother had woken up.
She hurriedly came to the bedroom to serve him.
"Young prince, come down quickly. The Queen Mother is fragile and can't stand making noises." When Siqin saw Wen Jin's son, he was actually sitting on the edge of the Queen Mother's bed.
He was also holding the Queen Mother's hand and rubbing it, seemingly coquettishly.
Siqin suppressed her dissatisfaction and persuaded with a fake smile, implying reproach.
Wen Yu was startled, looked at her, and then at the Queen Mother.
He was not acting coquettishly, he was giving the Queen Mother a hand massage. After he practiced martial arts, Aniang would give him this kind of massage.
After pressing it, he felt that his whole body was relaxed, and his sore muscles no longer hurt so much.
"Step back." The Queen Mother frowned and glanced at Siqin, "You are so reckless that you give orders before you understand them clearly?"
Siqin's face froze, and she glanced at Xiao Yuchen who was sitting beside her... and took a step back in embarrassment.
The Queen Mother smelled the soft and sweet milky fragrance on Yu'er's body, enjoying the relaxation and comfort of his massage hands.
She couldn't help but speak a little casually, "King Huai is now quite old. Your father has several children at your age."
"There is only Yu'er in Prince Huai's Mansion. Children are very lively and need playmates. Prince Huai quickly adds some younger brothers and sisters to him so that Prince Huai's Mansion will also become lively!"
Xiao Yuchen smiled and said, "That's what the Imperial Grandmother said."
The Queen Mother glanced at Siqin.
"The concubine you married a while ago, I heard that she didn't understand etiquette and was demoted to a concubine by you. Is there anyone in the house who can help the princess with her internal affairs?" asked the Queen Mother.
How could Xiao Yuchen not understand her voice?
But he pretended not to understand, "Yes, the housekeeper, mother-in-law, and maid are all obedient and useful."
The Queen Mother glared at him, "What the Ai family is asking is if there is anyone who can serve you for her. You are young and vigorous, how hard is it for her to live as a woman?"
Xiao Yuchen sighed inwardly... He hadn't even had this woman in his mouth yet! It's because of his hard work, right?
"Siqin is the grand-niece of my mother's family. She has studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. She is gentle and generous..."
Hearing this, Siqin's face turned red. All grievances, sadness, and embarrassments were gone, and her heart was pounding wildly.
Xiao Yuchen snorted lightly before the Queen Mother finished speaking.
"I don't know if he is gentle and generous. But he is really bold. He almost delayed Wen Jin from coming to see the imperial grandmother!
"Didn't anyone tell the imperial grandmother? They asked the eunuchs to search her body, and they didn't allow the little doctor girl next to Wen Jin to come in... They made things difficult for the princess at every turn. Who are you trying to embarrass?"
Xiao Yuchen looked at Siqin coldly.
A chill ran down Siqin's spine, and she knelt down, "My maid dare not... It's all according to the rules of the palace. It's because Princess Huai has misunderstood. Your Majesty... why do you listen and believe?"
She felt aggrieved and shed tears.
Xiao Yuchen felt cold in his heart, no wonder Wen Jin didn't give him a good face.
This woman's words are really irritating. I wonder if Wen Jin will blame this woman's rudeness on him?
Xiao Yuchen's eyes were as sharp as a sword, "Grandma Huang, it's just right. You're crying. It's really unlucky! Get out!"
Siqin felt a lump in her throat. It doesn’t matter if you cry, it doesn’t matter if you don’t cry.
"Don't be afraid. Daddy only cares about my great-grandmother. He doesn't want to hurt you." Wen Yu said softly.
Siqin looked embarrassed.
The Queen Mother looked at Wen Yu with relief, and then looked at Siqin with disappointment, "Children are smarter than you!"
Siqin's face turned pale.
"Why don't you see Wen Jin?" the Queen Mother asked.
The palace aunt quickly stepped forward and said: "Princess Huai is personally making honey pills for the Queen Mother. The princess said that honey pills are different from decoction. If you want the best effect, there are many details that need to be grasped... The princess is afraid that the maids and palace maids will master it. I can’t live here anymore, and I’m still staying in the kitchen.”
Wen Yu's little face was confused, "Isn't it hot in the kitchen? Mother and concubine are most afraid of heat. When she gave birth to me, she hurt her body, and she is prone to heatstroke when she gets too hot."
The Queen Mother's face tightened, a little surprised, "This Wen Jin..."
"Don't worry, Grandma Huang, my grandson will go and have a look." Xiao Yuchen stood up and said.
He glanced at Wen Yu again, "Is Yu'er going?"
"I'll play with my great-grandmother, and daddy can go by himself."
When Wen Yu saw his father walking away, he stuck out his tongue at the Queen Mother and whispered, "I'm also afraid of the heat. It's cooler here, great-grandmother."
The Queen Mother touched his head lovingly and said, "The Ai family knows that you, a clever little devil, want to accompany the Ai family."
…
Xiao Yuchen came out of the dormitory and turned a corner when he saw Wen Jin leading the chrysanthemum pickers and holding medicine, walking along the palace corridor.
He glanced around and ducked into the side hall.
Wen Jin just passed by the door of the side hall, and unexpectedly a hand stretched out from inside, dragging her into the side hall.
"it's me!"
Xiao Yuchen learned about her needles and immediately reported it to his family.
Before she could hit her on the hip with her knees and threaten with needles... she closed the palace door.
Caiju was stunned outside the palace door when she heard the prince's voice coming from inside, "Waiting outside."
Wen Jin raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Is something wrong?"
"Did you make the medicine yourself?" Xiao Yuchen smelled the smell of fireworks on her body. The faint fragrance of lotus, mixed with the smoke of fireworks, does not feel inconsistent, but feels like returning to nature.
Wen Jin looked at him calmly, "Yes, you want a medicine test?"
Xiao Yuchen's heart tightened. He was obviously here to care about her, but she was only defensive and distant from him.
"You and I are one husband and wife, how could I doubt you?"
Wen Jin said nothing, but his expression clearly showed disapproval.
Xiao Yuchen's heart was heavy. He took a deep breath... He wanted her to change his mind. It seemed that he still had a long way to go.
"No!" He said resolutely, "I want to tell you...if the Queen Mother tells you later that she wants me to accept the concubine, don't be angry, I will refuse."
Wen Jin smiled and said, "I'm not angry."
Xiao Yuchen stared into her eyes, trying to look into her heart... Her eyes were calm and cold.
He understood that she wasn't lying or trying to show off.
She really...didn't care.
"Is there anything else, Your Majesty? If nothing happens, I'll go get treatment."
Wen Jin didn't take the needle this time and stabbed him several times with his bare hands. Taking advantage of his arm's weakness, she pushed him away suddenly, opened the door of the palace and walked out.
Xiao Yuchen stood there, feeling cold from head to toe... He clenched his fists slightly.
"Wen Jin, I will never give up."
