Chapter 170 Birthday (1)
The wind is gentle and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.
Empress Pei walked slowly in the imperial garden.
Qing Daisonglan and other palace maids accompanied him to serve him. Cheng Jinrong, who was wearing green medical uniforms, held Empress Pei's arm and walked beside Empress Pei.
"I have seen the Queen!"
"I wish the Queen!"
The eunuchs and palace maids in the Imperial Garden knelt down and saluted.
Empress Pei nodded casually and continued to walk forward slowly.
The Imperial Garden is a royal garden that covers a very wide area. With such a slow speed, you can't finish it in a day.
For several days, Empress Pei was spending breakfast and wandering around the Imperial Garden for an hour, and returned to the Jiaofang Hall for lunch. After taking a nap, she came out for another hour or two.
Moderate exercise is very good for people's health. Queen Pei, who has a poor appetite, has grown more and more appetites recently and has become more sleepy. Her thin cheeks are quietly rosy.
It was afternoon, and it was the best time of the day. The bright sunshine shone on people, warm and warm. The palms on their foreheads were slightly sweating. Queen Pei was a little tired in her weak body, but she was in a surprisingly good spirit.
Cheng Jinrong always paid attention to the change of Empress Pei's expression and whispered: "The Empress has walked such a long way, and it's time to rest for a while. There happened to be a pavilion in front of her."
Empress Pei smiled self-deprecatingly: "I am not as good as a child as a few years old now. After such a long journey, I have no strength."
Cheng Jinrong pursed her lips and smiled, helped Empress Pei into the pavilion and sat down, while coaxing softly: "Empress Feng is weak. Even if she wants to exercise, she has to take her time and be anxious."
Of course, Empress Pei understands the truth about hasteness.
In the past, she ignored everything and was immersed in her own world. Not to mention coming to the imperial garden, she was not happy to see people even when she left the dormitory. But now, she has the will to survive and the fighting spirit to protect her daughter's safety, and she wished that her dilapidated body would be well immediately.
Empress Pei sighed silently.
Cheng Jinrong stood aside with a smile.
Empress Pei glanced at Cheng Jinrong who was smiling like a flower, and a little annoyed and bored, and disappeared immediately.
The palace maids brought pastries, fresh fruits and tea.
Queen Pei ate a piece of pastry and thought it tasted good, so she gave the rest to Cheng Jinrong.
Fresh fruits are sweet, enjoy!
The aroma of tea is everywhere, enjoy it!
Cheng Jinrong: “…”
She privately reminded Empress Pei not to treat her too well in front of others. At least she had to hide it a little and not reveal her love and trust too clearly.
Queen Pei should have agreed, but she could not change her habit of enjoying things. She would give her food, clothing and use whatever she thought was good.
Forget it! Take the reward first, and then remind me after I go back!
Cheng Jinrong smiled and thanked the Queen for her kindness: "Thank you for the Queen's great reward!"
Empress Pei knew the way of remedy and said slowly: "You serve me carefully and I will reward you, just take it with peace of mind."
Then, he passed on the oral order: "Qingdai, I will pass on the oral order of this palace, and reward Du Ti with two plates of fresh fruits from the imperial physician Zhou and the imperial physician Li."
Qingdai respectfully accepted the order and responded.
That's fine!
Empress Pei blinked quietly when she stroked Cheng Jinrong.
Cheng Jin tolerated the laughter and blinked at Queen Pei.
...
I just walked around and watched the flowers and trees, and before I knew it, the sun was going west.
Empress Pei was still not satisfied, so Cheng Jinrong advised softly: "It's almost too late, I'll go back to the Jiaofang Palace! Come and take a walk in the garden tomorrow morning."
Queen Pei nodded.
After returning to the Jiaofang Hall, I took a break for a while, and asked Dr. Zhou and Dr. Li to take the pulse. Then, it was time to tell me that I had dinner.
The second prince, Princess Shouning, and the sixth prince, came to the Jiaofang Hall together and had dinner with Queen Pei.
At the beginning, the sixth prince came to the Jiaofang Hall alone, and Empress Pei ordered Cheng Jinrong to have a meal together. In the past two days, the second prince Princess Shouning also had to show filial piety, and it would be inappropriate for Cheng Jinrong to have a meal together.
Empress Pei glanced and opened her mouth to admire six dishes for Cheng Jinrong.
Cheng Jinrong is not picky about food, and his taste is light. The six dishes that Queen Pei admired are all light and delicious stir-fry dishes or cold dishes.
Songlan took the dishes given by Queen Pei.
Princess Shouning complained half-jokingly and half seriously: "The mother is really concerned about this female doctor Cheng, and she is three points better than her daughter."
Queen Pei felt nervous, but she didn't show any expression on her face. She said lightly: "It's all naughty! No matter how kind the mother is to others, she is not as good as you. There are a few top-notch brocades in this year's tribute, with bright colors, and they are all kept for you!"
It is natural for young girls to love beauty. Princess Shouning likes gorgeous clothes the most. She smiled happily when she heard this: "Thank you, my mother. By the way, there are still a few days to go on the birthday of my mother. My daughter has carefully prepared a birthday gift for her mother! When the mother meets her, she will definitely like it."
Empress Pei cheered up and showed a loving smile: "Then I am waiting for Shouning's surprise."
Queen Pei's body has improved recently. Her mood has been getting better every day, and she speaks several times more than before. Not to mention Princess Shouning, even the second prince is happy.
A warm, soft and sick mother, of course, is not as healthy as the Queen of the Central Palace who controls the six palaces!
"The mother's body has improved greatly. My son is very happy to see it." The second prince smiled and said, "The palace banquet in a few days will be very lively. At that time, the mother's face will be more exposed."
Don’t be like before, just hold a false reputation and let Concubine Zheng snatch the glory away.
Empress Pei knew what the second prince meant when she heard it.
For many years, Empress Pei is quite familiar with the temperament of the second prince. Thinking of the "dream" that Cheng Jinrong once said, Empress Pei is even more disgusted with the second prince.
Being in the palace, doing acting has become an instinct. Even Empress Pei has long been used to wearing a mask to show her. He smiled slightly when he heard this, "What I mean is that no matter how sick I am, I have to open my eyes and pick my daughter-in-law."
One word hit the second prince's thoughts.
The second prince had no shame and bowed and smiled, "Then I'll have to work hard for my mother."
...
After dinner, the second prince stayed alone and told Empress Pei some private conversations between mother and son.
"Mother," the second prince whispered: "After the palace banquet in a few days, the father will also come in person. That day, the wife of the imperial decree will bring noble daughters of the right age into the palace."
"What I like is Miss Jiang Er from Duke Wei's Mansion. Please ask the mother and queen to see Miss Jiang Er for their son. If the mother and queen are satisfied, then ask the father to marry Miss Jiang Er for their son!"
Empress Pei's smile faded: "Have you met Miss Jiang Er?"
The second prince naturally replied: "I haven't seen it before."
Empress Pei remained silent.
Even if I haven’t seen each other, how can I come to like it?
