The Queen Mother has not seen Shen Cha for more than two years. She really misses her so much. One of them is in Xijing and the other is at the border. Even if they know that something bad has happened to the other party, there is nothing they can do. This feeling makes the Queen Mother particularly uncomfortable. like.
After hearing the announcement and learning that Song Jinyu and Shen Cha had left the imperial study and gone to her bedroom, the Queen Mother quickly ordered the little girl to get ready. She didn't know whether the child's injuries were healed or whether his illness had recovered. Therefore, many, many medicines are prepared in case of emergency.
Therefore, as soon as Shen Cha entered the Queen Mother's palace, she felt the care and concern from the Queen Mother. Before the ceremony was completed, she was pulled up by the Queen Mother herself and looked at her front and back, left and right, up and down.
"Mother, you scared Xiao Cha." Seeing the nervous look on the Queen Mother's face, Song Jinyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Together with Jin Miaomiao, she "rescued" Chen Cha from the Queen Mother's hands and helped her to cleanse her body. clothing.
"Are you scared?" The Queen Mother came to Shen Cha and rubbed her face. "I knew you were seriously injured and seriously ill before, which made me feel uneasy. Now I see you are alive and kicking. My heart can be considered relieved."
"Mother, you didn't scare me. Don't listen to sister Jinyu's nonsense. I miss you very much at the border. I have discussed with my brother that no matter what, I will come back to see you this year."
"You are still good, unlike the two brothers and sisters..." The Queen Mother pointed at Song Jinyu, "You have always been naughty and angry with me."
"...Okay, whatever the queen mother says is whatever she says."
Song Jinyu was helpless. She knew that once Shen Cha came back, the status of her and the emperor's brother would plummet in her mother's place. Oh, no, they didn't even have status. Her mother only had Xiao Cha in her eyes. .
Shen Cha smiled, took the Queen Mother's outstretched hand, helped her walk to the imperial concubine chair and sit down, thanked the little girl who moved the small stool for her, and waved to Jin Miaomiao.
"Empress, this is Jin Miaomiao, the military advisor's biological sister and the master's only direct disciple."
"Your Majesty Jin Miaomiao has met the Queen Mother, Queen Mother Jin An!"
Jin Miaomiao was a little nervous when she met the Queen Mother for the first time, but she still meticulously completed the ceremony taught to her by Song Jinyu and Shen Cha. After completing the ceremony, she stood there in a dignified manner.
"Good boy, I feel relieved that Xiaocha has a good boy like you by my side."
"Your Majesty is so complimentary, but I am so ashamed that I don't deserve it." Jin Miaomiao raised her head and glanced at Shen Cha, "It is my duty to take good care of the general. I dare not take credit."
The Queen Mother nodded and looked at the little girl standing next to her. The little girl nodded slightly, turned around and went to the inner hall, brought out a small box made of red sandalwood, and handed the small box to Jin Miaomiao.
"The Queen Mother, what are you..."
"Don't be afraid, this is just a basic medical book collected by me. If you keep it here, it will just gather dust. Why not give it to you, it will be of some use..." The Queen Mother looked at Jin Miaomiao with a smile, "I am young. When I was young, I liked to collect some classics, but after I entered the palace, I didn’t have time to read these books. Don’t feel pressured, just hold them.”
"Yes, I thank you for the reward." Jin Miaomiao took the small red sandalwood box with both hands and saluted the Queen Mother again.
"In this palace, don't be so reserved and relax." Seeing a thin layer of sweat on Jin Miaomiao's forehead, the Queen Mother gently shook her head and looked at the little girl and asked, "Are you all ready?"
"Go back to your Majesty, you are ready."
"Okay!" The Queen Mother patted Shen Cha's hand, "Let Jin Yu take you to take a bath and change into clean clothes. You will have lunch at my place."
"Mother, the emperor said that preparations are already underway."
"When they are ready, let them eat by themselves, or let them come to me." The Queen Mother looked at Shen Cha, "By the way, I heard that Qiyun came back with you? Where is he now?"
"He followed us back. Now he is talking to His Majesty in the Imperial Study Room. We encountered something on the way, and he wants to explain it to His Majesty in detail." Shen Cha thought for a moment, walked to the door of the dormitory, and said to Mei Lin, "Go to the Imperial Study Room. Tell Your Majesty to come to the Queen Mother for lunch."
"yes!"
When Song Jinyu, Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao took a comfortable bath, changed into clean clothes, and returned to the palace, Song Jue, Shen Haolin, and Song Qiyun had already arrived, and Shen Haolin and Song Qiyun also took a shower. After taking a bath and changing clothes, he was sitting in front of the Queen Mother talking.
After finishing lunch at the Queen Mother's place, we chatted with the Queen Mother for a while. Seeing that she was a little sleepy, everyone stood up and left.
Before leaving, Shen Cha promised the Queen Mother that during her stay in Xijing, as long as nothing happened, she would go into the palace to talk to the Queen Mother.
"Xiao Cha came back to Beijing to rest." The Queen Mother glared at Song Jue, "Don't make her do so many things!"
"My son knows this and won't let her get tired."
Song Jue expressed that he was aggrieved and once again doubted whether he was the Queen Mother's biological child. He and Song Jinyu had the same idea. As long as Xiaocha appeared in front of his mother, nothing would happen to anyone else.
"Resign yourself to your fate!" Song Jinyu sent everyone out. Seeing her royal brother's expression, she laughed, "In the Queen Mother's heart, we are the ones who are here to cause trouble for her, and Xiaocha is her good baby. It has to hurt.”
"That's quite right." Shen Haolin put his arm around Shen Cha's shoulders and looked at the Song brothers and sisters, "You two are indeed capable of causing trouble."
"You're so good at being cheap, but your status is not as good as the two of us!" Song Jue rolled his eyes, "Okay, you guys can go back home and rest. If you want anything, we'll talk about it tomorrow. I'll leave Qi Yun behind, and we'll talk to you tonight Brothers, let’s have a good chat.”
Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao were preparing to leave the palace with Mei Lin and Mei Zhu. When they arrived at the palace gate, they bumped into Liu Shuai who had not yet left Xijing and returned to the south.
"Uncle Liu!"
Shen Haolin and Shen Cha bowed obediently. Although Liu Shuai has had a bad temper in the past two years and has become very stubborn, he is still their respected senior.
"I just heard that you were back, and I was wondering if I could see you in the palace. Isn't this a coincidence?" Liu Shuai helped the two of them up and looked up and down like the Queen Mother, " Okay, seeing that you two are fine, I can rest assured. Now that you are back, it’s time for me to return to the southern border. I can’t delay the Japanese issue any longer!”
"Uncle Liu already has a plan?" Shen Haolin looked at Liu Shuai, "The terrain of the Japanese country is complicated. We are new here, so we should be more cautious."
"Don't worry, this battle is very important, so be cautious in everything." Liu Shuai patted Shen Haolin, "By the way, that Hua Yao, who did you two recommend?"
"That's right!" Shen Haolin nodded, "He went to Jiapingguan City, crying and insisting on joining the army. My nephew saw that he was serious, so he told His Majesty that he should go to your old place to try Try, we really don’t have a suitable place for him.”
"That's true. Children who grew up in the south are not suitable for the windy sand in the north." Liu Shuai nodded, "After he came back from the border, he came to me many times. He was really sincere, so I had no choice but to accept him. First. Let me tell you in advance, if he does not meet my requirements, even if he is recommended by you two and His Majesty strongly agrees, I will not show mercy to him."
"This is natural. Since you accept it, you have the final say. We won't talk too much."
"Okay, remember what you two said. When the time comes, I will deal with him, but you two don't come out to intercede."
"Uncle, Hua Yao will definitely make you feel that it is worth your money." Shen Cha pointed to his head, "If nothing else, he has a good memory, which is very precious."
"I've already experienced it. He is indeed a rare talent." Liu Shuai smiled at Shen Cha, "I won't delay you anymore. It's been a long journey, so go back and rest!"
"Uncle Liu, let's get together again before you leave Xijing!" Shen Haolin smiled, "Uncle Qin and Uncle Yan both want us to hand over something to you."
"No problem!" Liu Shuai walked a few steps, then turned around and came back, "Speaking of Lao Yan, I have something to tell you. You two must pay attention. People from the Yan family are asking around every day. Whenever you come back, you will always hang around the Duke's Mansion."
"How many times have they refused and they still haven't given up?" Shen Haolin frowned, "If you insist on seeing Uncle Yan, what do you want to do?"
"It's not like you don't know the virtues of their family. In short, you two should be careful and don't get entangled with them. Otherwise, it will be like a dog-skin plaster that you can't get rid of!"
"We understand, don't worry about this, we will handle it."
"Don't argue with them. If they're not worth it, just blast them away." Liu Shuai shook his head and sighed, "If I had known this, why bother!"
