"This is not..."
Chu Zhiyi nodded.
"This is where you first flirted with me."
Gan!
Lian Suisui cursed in his heart, what does it mean to be frivolous?
At that time, she had just traveled through time, and the original owner planned to be Wang Climbing the bed, but she was taught a lesson, and was scolded by Qin, so she ran over in a random direction.
At that time, I just thought he was good-looking, but I was also afraid that he would hear what she was saying to Xiao Tao and run away to tell the truth...
"Ahem..."
Lian Suisui choked on his spit.
"This peach tree is the matchmaker. Shu Ying, bring the incense case."
Shuying: "..."
Shuying found a nearby palace official. Private incense halls were not allowed in the palace, so it took a lot of effort to get three incense sticks.
Chu Zhiyi lit incense and placed it under the peach tree.
Lian Suisui's mouth twitched and he urged: "I'll be late to see the Queen Mother."
It was already late when they set off. The walk from the palace gate to the Queen Mother's chamber took a long time. The sun was already high in the sky. If they delayed further, it would be time to have lunch.
Chu Zhiyi snorted with a nasal sound.
Lian Suisui stopped messing around and pushed him outside the Queen Mother's palace.
The little eunuch who was informed entered the Queen Mother's Ganquan Palace and came out apologetically after a while to report: "Ninth Prince, Ninth Princess, the Queen Mother has guests here. Please wait a moment."
Knowing that Chu Zhiyi and Lian Suisui were coming to pay her respects today and to meet guests at this time, Lian Suisui glanced at Chu Zhiyi's expression and knew that this was the Queen Mother's deliberate embarrassment.
But as juniors, they can only wait.
The sun was beating down on my body, making me dizzy, and Lian Sui was so hot that I couldn't help but wipe my sweat away.
Chu Zhiyi's pale cheeks were also blushing from the sun. Finally, a chamberlain came out of the inner hall and whispered to the chamberlain guarding the door. The chamberlain guarding the door came forward and saluted.
"Ninth Prince, Princess, Queen Mother, please come in."
"Good work."
Chu Zhiyi spoke, his attitude still gentle, and Suisui raised his feet to cross the threshold. He looked back and saw Shuying lifting the wheelchair across the threshold and placing it on the flat ground.
There are many steps in Ganquan Palace. Even when Suisui walks up and down, these steps and thresholds that have no effect on ordinary people are obstacles to him. If she hadn't healed his leg and Shuying hadn't accompanied him into the palace , when he is alone, it will be difficult to move in this harem.
They guarded the door and saw no guests going out.
Lian Suisui asked a question.
"What guest did the Queen Mother see today?"
The chamberlain hesitated for a moment. They had already arrived at the door of the Queen Mother's bedroom, and Lian Suisui heard the voices inside.
"That girl Suisui is too ignorant. On a day like today, she should come with the Ninth Prince to pay your respects to the Queen Mother. Wait until now, no one has come..."
It’s the old lady of the Qin family!
The chamberlain went in and announced.
The old lady of the Qin family looked outside, looking past her at Chu Zhiyi with worried eyes.
"I didn't know that there were guests here, disturbing my mother's purity."
Chu Zhiyi's voice was flat and no emotion could be heard.
Even though Sui Sui had finished her greetings, Mrs. Qin scolded her.
"Why are you here now? Let the elders wait for you..."
What she seemed to be blaming was actually caring about her.
Emperor Chen was raised under the Queen Mother's knees since he was a child. The Queen Mother couldn't bear to see Chu Zhiyi competing with her son for the throne and wished him dead. Mrs. Qin was worried that the Queen Mother would embarrass Lian Suisui, so she got up early today and handed the Queen Mother a notice to enter the palace.
Just now she saw what the chamberlain said in the ear of the Queen Mother, and she guessed that Lian Suisui and the Ninth Prince had arrived. Several times she tried to test them, but the Queen Mother changed the subject. Unexpectedly, her kindness turned out to be a reason for the Queen Mother to embarrass them.
The Queen Mother looked calm.
"Oh, I'm just talking to my old sister. You slaves, why don't you come in and report when Sui Sui is here?"
The servants did not dare to talk back and hurriedly apologized.
"Okay, you're just a sight-sinner, why don't you get out of here!"
The chamberlains bowed their heads and left with their breasts in their hands. When the Queen Mother saw that Lian Suisui was still standing, she said, "It's been a long time since we last met, so Suisui can sit next to your grandmother."
Liansui thanked the Queen Mother and sat down next to Mrs. Qin.
The maid served tea. With Mrs. Qin's relationship, the Queen Mother did not embarrass them too much. After having a cup of tea in the Queen Mother's palace, the Queen Mother excused them to leave because she had a headache.
Mrs. Qin accompanied the couple out of Ganquan Palace.
"Excuse me, grandma, for making this trip."
Even Sui Sui solemnly blessed the body.
Mrs. Qin held her hand, nodded to Chu Zhiyi, and pulled her forward.
"I haven't seen the Queen Mother for a long time. I came to the palace to see her and help you. I didn't come here specially."
Mrs. Qin didn't want her to be burdened.
"Don't worry about your family affairs. That grandmother of yours is insane and talks nonsense all day long. Your father asked her to recuperate at home. Who knows how she escaped..."
Is her grandmother going crazy?
Lian Suisui reacted and looked at each other and smiled at Mrs. Qin.
"Grandma, I understand. I will tell anyone who asks in the future."
No wonder Pei Shu said her mother could handle it. This was indeed a good way to solve the problem once and for all.
They had to go to see Emperor Chen, and they separated from Mrs. Qin halfway.
The more Suisui thought about it, the more wonderful it became, so he copied the little book away!
Emperor Chen was busy, so they waited for a while, and the chamberlain came out to send a message, saying that Emperor Chen had no time to see them, so the two went to the Queen's Palace again.
This time they were not embarrassed, Chu Jingan came in personally and invited them in.
"Uncle Ninth and Aunt Ninth, why are you here? It's already dinner time and I'm almost starving to death!"
"Mother, please tell me to prepare the meal quickly!"
The queen doted on Chu Jing'an, and he couldn't behave himself anymore.
"You are so old, you still act like a child! Jin Shu, inform the imperial dining room to prepare the meal."
Chu Zhiyi and Lian Suisui were left to have dinner in the Queen's Palace.
"Uncle Jiu, I can now shoot three arrows in a row. I will demonstrate it to you later!"
"You eat and sleep without talking, why are you so unruly in front of your ninth uncle and ninth aunt!"
After the queen scolded him, Chu Jingan became honest.
After eating, he couldn't wait to drag Chu Zhiyi to the martial arts field, but Lian Sui was left behind by the queen.
"Don't worry, Ninth Brother, I will help you take good care of your younger siblings."
The queen was very much like the enthusiastic elders in the family, and she spoke affectionately towards Lian Suisui, but after the two left, her attitude became less enthusiastic.
"I heard that Master Lian's mother in her hometown suddenly found her way to the capital yesterday?"
Lian Suisui knew the highlight was coming.
"Back to the Queen, my grandmother did come to visit me yesterday, but it was not what was reported outside."
She didn't even need to ask, what was being said outside must be very unpleasant to hear.
"My grandfather died young. I heard from my father that my grandmother suffered from madness when he was very young. Sometimes she was sober and sometimes confused. When she was confused, she always thought that others were trying to harm her. My father was afraid that she would be taken to the capital and taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives. So I left my grandmother in her hometown in Pingyang to find someone to take care of her."
"Who knows how she found her way to the capital from Pingyang alone this time, or where she heard the rumor and concluded that my mother gave me all the Lian family's property as a dowry and insisted on making a fuss at my wedding."
"When my father was young, he had to study and take care of my mother. The family was extremely poor. My father has been an honest official these years. The house we live in now is from my mother's dowry. Where did the family's property come from..."
There seemed to be a figure behind the screen, Suisui adjusted his tone and expression.
"My mother loves me so much that she used her own dowry to buy me a dowry. It can be found in these account books!"
