Aunt Zhou had had nightmares for several days and was getting thinner and thinner day by day. The third prince was anxious and made different kinds of food for her every day.
But the effect is still not good.
Du Wanchun was also very worried. Xiao Feifei was handed over to Aunt Zhuang and took Aunt Zhou to Zhuangzi. Firstly, he wanted her to relax, and secondly, he wanted Dr. Xu to take a look at her.
In recent years, Dr. Xu and Lady Miao have managed Zhuangzi very well.
In addition to Xiangfang and Rougefang, farmland orchards harvest a lot every year.
Not only that, Du Wanchun had earlier sent people to build a pavilion, waterside pavilion and a pond full of lotus flowers in Zhuangzi.
Now is the time when the lotus flowers are in full bloom. Du Wanchun took Aunt Zhou to the pavilion to enjoy the lotus flowers. ?.?????.ℂ??
Aunt Zhou looked at the endless lotus pond, and the annoyance in her heart these days dissipated a lot.
"Mom, I heard from dad that you like to eat lotus seed soup. I will pick some back later and let Aunt Zhuang make some." Du Wanchun smiled at her.
Aunt Zhou came to her senses slightly and said, "Don't bother. Even if you make it, I won't be able to eat it."
Her recent weight loss was not just due to her mood. Her appetite had not been good since she became pregnant.
Du Wanchun said meaningfully: "Mom, don't be in a hurry, you can try it first when the time comes."
Aunt Zhou was filled with gratitude. She held Du Wanchun's hand and said, "Wan Chun, thank you for your hard work. I have a heart disease and I'm afraid it can't be cured."
Du Wanchun was silent. Aunt Zhou's worry was not unreasonable.
According to the emperor's temper, if he really knew that Aunt Zhou and the third prince had this child, he would not be furious.
Some things cannot be stopped by her own strength.
After a long time, she picked a blooming lotus from the lotus pond and put it in her hand. She said slowly: "Mom, look, does this look good?"
Aunt Zhou took it in her hand and smelled it. There was a faint lotus fragrance.
She smiled and said, "How about I make fried lotus for you today?"
Du Wanchun smiled in surprise and said, "Mom, can you still eat lotus flowers?"
Aunt Zhou looked at the lotus thoughtfully and said, "Yes, it's edible. It tastes fragrant and slightly sweet. It's the only craft I knew how to make in the past."
Du Wanchun felt very strange when he heard this. He smiled and took Aunt Zhou to the village to make fried lotus flowers.
It took the two of them half an hour to make a small bowl, and it tasted really good.
Aunt Zhou's appetite improved a lot after eating it, especially after eating the lotus seeds that Du Wanchun specially gave her. She suddenly felt that her appetite had improved.
In the past, when she was the empress, she loved eating fried lotus flowers. Even if she never cooked, she would always make a plate to satisfy her craving when the lotus flowers were in bloom.
Coincidentally, only the Empress knows this skill, and no one else can learn it.
Since the queen disappeared, the emperor in the palace has never eaten again.
The emperor didn't like eating fried lotus, but in the past, because the empress made it himself, he would try a few pieces even if he didn't like it.
Slowly, the love dissipated over time, and he no longer tasted it. Even if the queen sent someone to put fried lotus flowers on his table, he would pour them out without mercy.
Now when the emperor dreams back alone at midnight, he will think of those fried lotus flowers that he poured out.
Concubine Li would occasionally learn the craftsmanship of the empress and make it for the emperor.
But the taste is different.
Even so, the emperor still loved Concubine Li and would stay in Concubine Li's palace every night even if his health was not good.
Until one day, Li Fei became pregnant.
This was a great joy for the emperor, but Concubine Li was not happy because she did not want children.
When the emperor was happy, he was particularly tolerant of matters in the court.
Master Zheng took the opportunity to propose that Zhou Ruiyuan come to Beijing.
The emperor was obsessed with women these days and almost forgot about Zhou Ruiyuan. After hearing this, he immediately wrote an imperial edict for Zhou Ruiyuan to come to Beijing as an official.
According to the previous agreement, Zhou Ruiyuan was given the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
For a small county magistrate, this can be said to be a direct leap from the dragon's gate.
The emperor originally planned to let him start as the Minister of Justice, but now the position of Minister of Justice is occupied by Xu Meiren's brother.
