Chen Ba couldn't laugh or cry on his face, but his heart was bleeding.
He had opened a jar of this wine, so he kept the unopened jar at home.
He didn't dare to keep other things privately, so he brought them all.
Chen Ba shook his head, "No more, this thing is hard to come by!"
The Queen Mother nodded slowly, suddenly becoming very interested in the gifts he sent.
"What's in the gift box?"
Chen Ba quickly opened another gift box.
Two small cans of tea and a basket of fruits.
"Why are there so many fruits in this season? Are they grapes? Apples? Pears? Oh, and white jade melons?
"Isn't this a fruit that ripens in the same season? Chen Sima is really amazing, how did he put them together?"
The Queen Mother looked at the bright and juicy appearance of the melon, and she couldn't help but salivate.
She called to the palace maid, "Quick, take it and wash it."
"Don't peel it!" Chen Ba quickly warned.
The Queen Mother was stunned when she heard this, "Ah? What's the point?"
Chen Ba coughed lightly and said, "Yes, I will slowly explain to the Queen Mother later."
The Queen Mother waved her hand.
The palace maid went to wash all the fruits without peeling them.
After drinking the cup of wine, the Queen Mother became more and more energetic.
Recently she has lost her appetite and has a severe headache.
I couldn't sleep all night long, I had heartburn and stomachache, bad breath, and a bad temper.
But after Chen Ba had been here for a while, she never lost her temper. On the contrary, the more she talked to Chen Ba, the happier she seemed.
When the melon and fruit enter your mouth, the aroma of tea overflows.
The Queen Mother's whole face was radiant, as if she had suddenly returned to the best state she had been in over the years.
She stared at the fruit, then looked at Chen Ba in shock.
"This isn't from your hometown, is it?"
Unless Chen Ba’s hometown is in Wonderland!
Chen Ba smiled slightly and said, "These things are really rare. I only have so many of them. When I got them, I didn't dare to keep them secret at all. I donated them all to the Queen Mother."
"I only hope that my empress Feng is in good health and that my emperor can feel at ease. This means that I am completely loyal."
Chen Ba gave him the gift and bowed to leave.
Empress Dowager Chen has been the direct daughter of the Zhongming Dingshi family since she was a child.
Later, she successfully entered the palace and became the queen.
It can be said that she has a smooth journey, rich clothes and fine food, and a life that is exquisite to the point of fingernails.
It was only when she got older that the age-related diseases that were not forgiving of time came to her, making her unhappy.
But these things Chen Ba sent her today suddenly made her feel energetic.
Although she was well-dressed and well-fed, she had never tasted such good wine, such good tea, and such rare fruits.
"Quickly, please invite the emperor!" the Queen Mother said quickly.
Emperor Chen was worthy of being a filial son.
He had just left the court at that time and was discussing matters with the ministers in the Qinzheng Hall.
When I heard that something happened to the Queen Mother, I looked for him urgently.
He left his ministers behind and went to the Queen Mother's Palace without stopping.
I thought there was something wrong with the Queen Mother.
But when I entered the palace, I didn't see the imperial doctor, nor did I smell the strong smell of medicine.
On the contrary, there is a mellow aroma of wine, a light tea aroma, and a refreshing fruity aroma...
This fragrance actually made his mind, which was tired and had a headache due to political affairs, feel relieved.
"Queen mother?"
The emperor couldn't help but be startled when he saw the radiant Queen Mother.
He looked back at the palace door where he walked in... wondering if he had gone to the wrong place?
Is this really his mother?
The Queen Mother has been unwell for a long time.
The doctors in the palace tried their best, but none of them could relieve the Queen Mother's pain... As people get older, they will naturally feel uncomfortable here and there.
Emperor Chen is still posting lists and aggressively recruiting folk miracle doctors...
I have never heard of any miracle doctor falling into the eyes of the Queen Mother. Why does the Queen Mother suddenly seem to be well?
When a person is in good spirits, he looks more than ten years younger!
"Your Majesty, come, come quickly!" The Queen Mother's face was full of joy and she was in high spirits.
But the emperor's heart skipped a beat... Isn't this the legendary "reflection of light"?
The Queen Mother didn't know what he was thinking... she knew she had to beat him.
The Queen Mother brought him a small cup of wine.
Even more stingy than Chen Ba, she only filled the small wine cup to about seventy percent full.
"The emperor got up early to attend the meeting. It was too hard. Try it!"
"You should not drink alcohol during the day..."
"This is medicinal wine. After the Ai family drank this, they immediately felt that their headaches were gone, their hearts were no longer depressed, and their bodies were no longer hot. Try it now!"
The Queen Mother admired her so much that the Emperor couldn't bear to refuse, so he took a sip of wine.
His eyes suddenly widened and he looked at the Queen Mother in surprise.
"how?"
The emperor drank it all in one gulp, "This wine... is wonderful! Where did the queen get it?"
The Queen Mother gave up and said, "Your Majesty, try this melon and fruit again, and taste this fragrant tea."
The emperor didn't know what kind of medicine the Queen Mother was selling in the gourd, but he was obedient.
After tasting all kinds of things...he suddenly couldn't sit still.
"Queen mother, stop hiding it! Tell the child quickly! As an emperor, I have never tasted such a good thing! This, this..."
Emperor Chen was surprised, happy and annoyed. How could he not know about such a good thing earlier?
Has he been kept in the dark by the people below?
The tribute given to him was not the best at all?
The Queen Mother waved her hand, "This is what your great Sima secretly sent to the Ai family. He said that he only had this little, and he gave it all to the Ai family."
Emperor Chen opened his mouth in surprise, "Chen Ba..."
"Queen mother, rest a while, I want to ask him carefully!"
Emperor Chen couldn't sit still for a moment, and he immediately ordered someone to summon Chen Ba into the palace to answer the question.
Chen Ba didn't go far.
He was sitting in his carriage, waiting outside the palace gate.
Based on his understanding of the Queen Mother and the Emperor...this matter cannot wait until tomorrow!
as expected……
Chen Ba entered the imperial study.
"Close the door!" Emperor Chen ordered.
The eunuch immediately closed the door outside.
Chen Ba, a martial arts practitioner, noticed that there were many great masters hiding in the palace.
"What does your Majesty mean by this?" Chen Ba was not panicked. When he presented those things, he had expected something like this.
"Wine, tea, fruits that are out of season..." Emperor Chen stared at him with burning eyes, "How do you explain?"
Hearing this, Chen Ba lifted his robe and knelt down.
"Back to the emperor, I dare not have any affair with a foreign country, but I went to Liang State as an envoy and formed a brother-sister relationship with the then Princess Huai.
"When I came back from Liang Kingdom, I already reported this matter. I wonder if the emperor still remembers it?"
Emperor Chen nodded, "I know, and I believe you. And now, King Huai has ascended the throne as emperor. The Chen State does not intend to have an enmity with the Liang State. There is no harm in having this personal relationship."
Chen Ba cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. These gifts were sent to Chen's mother by Empress Daliang through merchants. Back then, Chen Ba's mother gave her a warm jade bracelet. She also remembered this sentiment.
"My mother is very old. After trying that wine, she suddenly felt different! She felt refreshed and energetic.
"After much thought, I realized that Queen Liang was thousands of miles away and there was no need to harm my mother. I also know that she has superb medical skills and has an extraordinary relationship with Yaowang Valley.
"Therefore, I hurriedly present these gifts to the Queen Mother by borrowing flowers and offering them to the Buddha. If they can benefit the Queen Mother's body, I would be very honored."
Emperor Chen took a deep breath and leaned forward slightly.
"You mean... these things were given to you by Empress Liang? Empress Liang, Yaowang Valley...
"That's it! I understand! Opportunity! This is an opportunity!"
