Aunt Zhou was slightly startled after hearing her words, and then she immediately thought of the emperor.
Now the emperor is looking for her, whether it is for old friendship or for other purposes. If we can start with the emperor and make good use of him, we might be able to save our lives.
Du Wanchun saw that she was lost in thought and continued: "Mom, don't worry, this place is far away from the capital, and those people can't reach here."
After hearing her words, Aunt Zhou felt much better.
At this time, the child was full and gave a small burp.
The little milky voice was ringing in the house, very cute. ?.?????.???
Zhou Ruiyuan outside the house heard the sound and quickly held the child in his hands again.
At this time, Aunt Zhuang came with food again.
This time it’s rock sugar bird’s nest.
The third prince brought the bird's nests from the capital last time. Aunt Zhou didn't eat any of them, she kept them all for Du Wanchun's confinement period.
In addition to bird's nest, there are several nourishing ingredients.
Because of the care of Aunt Zhuang and Aunt Zhou, although Du Wanchun has not yet given birth, her complexion is better than that of ordinary women.
Especially her skin, which was so white and rosy that ordinary people wouldn't know she had given birth at a glance.
Du Wanchun occasionally gets out of bed and wants to go out.
However, Aunt Zhou was worried that she would blow the wind, so she only allowed her to walk around the house.
Du Wanchun wished he could have his confinement soon.
At this time, the eldest and second child in the cradle nearby also woke up.
Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhuang each held a child and coaxed her.
Originally, everyone was still worried about Princess Duan, but as the children woke up, the room became lively again.
Magistrate Li listened to the cries of the children in the room, his face full of envy.
He and the previous Mrs. Li raised Mr. Li and Miss Li together. Although it was later learned that these two children were not biological, after all, he had devoted more than ten years of love to them.
Thinking about it now, my heart still hurts.
Now that something happened to the Sun family, Mrs. Li left Cheng'an County with her two children for her own sake.
Magistrate Li gave them a sum of money when they left, which was considered as his greatest kindness to the two children.
Now that he and Lady Liu have reached middle age, they may never be able to enjoy family happiness again.
Zhou Ruiyuan walked out with the child in his arms and said to County Magistrate Li: "Master Li, I may have to help you keep an eye on people entering the city these days."
County Magistrate Li quickly responded: "Don't worry, I will definitely send more people to the city gate."
After hearing this, Zhou Ruiyuan nodded slightly.
Inside the palace.
The emperor favored Jiang Guiren for several days.
The concubines in the harem were all envious.
Today, as he was about to go to Guiren Jiang's palace, he was stopped by a palace maid, "Your Majesty, the concubine wants to have dinner with you."
The emperor hesitated as he heard the footsteps.
The palace maid continued: "The concubine said that the emperor has not been to her for a long time."
The emperor listened, lowered his head and turned around and said, "Okay, tell the concubine and I will go to her place for dinner later."
"Yes, Your Majesty." After hearing this, the palace maid immediately turned around and left.
The emperor had no choice but to change his clothes and go to Princess Duan's palace.
Concubine Duan was wearing a light blue dress. Although she was in her thirties, she was as beautiful as a concubine who had just entered the palace.
When she saw the emperor coming, she did not go out to salute, but continued to make tea in her hand.
When the emperor came over, he slowly handed him the tea in his hand and said, "I heard that you are very fond of Jiang Guiren recently."
The emperor took the tea, took a sip and said slowly, "She is very sensible."
Concubine Duan had a smile on her face. She made another cup of tea gracefully and said slowly, "I remember you said that about the Queen before."
The emperor said solemnly, "The queen is dead, you don't need to mention her anymore."
Concubine Duan was not angry and handed him the pastry on the side, "This almond cake is what you like to eat."
The emperor picked up a piece and ate it.
Concubine Duan didn't say anything more, but left him to continue having dinner.
The dishes for dinner were all the emperor's usual favorites.
The emperor did not leave Princess Duan's palace that night and did not come out until early the next morning.
After he came back, the favored Jiang Guiren was relegated to the cold palace.
No one knows why, except that the emperor has a new favorite concubine.
It's just that this beloved concubine is no longer as favored as Concubine Wu.
In a pavilion dozens of kilometers away from Qingzhou Mansion, a group of men in black clothes took their horses to rest here.
I saw a leading man in black taking out a map and pointing at it and said, "Is this the place the Queen Mother mentioned?"
