Ning Yu sat weakly in the chair next to him, looking at Bai Ruozhu with worry in his eyes, as if he was not optimistic about her ability to learn the skills of a national master.

Jiang Yichun frowned slightly, he couldn't bear her working so hard. If she couldn't learn, she would not only be disappointed, but she would also have a lot of baggage in her heart.

But he couldn't help at all. He could only stand in the distance and watch her quietly, praying for her silently in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and Ning Yu interrupted Bai Ruozhu's meditation, "Okay, it's time to take a rest. Mr. Jiang should be finished with his work. You should go home first."

At this moment, Bai Ruozhu felt a little restless. Almost a morning had passed, but she hadn't even touched the threshold. It had only been three days in total. Could she really do it?

"Okay, I'll take a look at my temples first and then go back." After she said that, she turned and walked out, and saw Jiang Yichun standing at the door. He hurriedly smiled at her, but he still couldn't hide the worried look. into her eyes.

A smile suddenly appeared on Bai Ruozhu's face, "How do you think I will succeed in my studies? I already have some feelings, so there must be no problem. The national master said that I am a person with rising purple energy. Will I be bad?"

"I know you must be fine. Just don't work too hard. After all, you haven't had a good rest during these three days of traveling." Jiang Yichun said distressedly.

"Well, I'll have a good sleep tonight." Bai Ruozhu deliberately said confidently. She couldn't bear to see him worried.

The two of them took a look at Princess Jade. She was lying on the bed. She was so thin that she seemed to be embedded in the bed. Her body hidden in the quilt was like a piece of paper, which made people feel distressed just looking at her.

This is nothing. The most poignant thing is that her hair is all white and there are age spots on her face. How can she still look like a young girl in her prime?

She closed her eyes and breathed a little slowly, as if she was asleep.

Bai Ruozhu walked up to her and touched her hand, which was hugged outside the quilt with distress. The skin was already dry and wrinkled, and there were also many age spots. If she hadn't given her the pill, would she not have it now? Will it look like this?

"Let's go, I have to practice quickly and detoxify Feng Wan as soon as possible." Bai Ruozhu sniffed and said in a muffled voice.

Jiang Yichun hugged her shoulders to express comfort. The two went to see the Queen Mother again, picked up the little Dengdeng who played very harmoniously with the Queen Mother, and then said goodbye and left.

The coldness of the main hall returned. The Queen Mother sighed quietly and said to Liu Mu beside her: "It would be more lively if there were a child. There are just too few children in this palace."

"Don't worry, Queen Mother. Our Lady, Le Bin, will give birth in two to three months, won't you? Aren't you afraid that it won't be fun by then?" Liu Mu said with a smile.

The Queen Mother looked slightly bright, "Yes, the Ai family is waiting to hold Wen'er's child. But the emperor's heir is still too weak, and there is no movement from other people in the palace. He turns around and asks Ruozhu to give them a good look. It would be better for them to help the Emperor as soon as possible."

Liu Mu's eyes flashed slightly, and his expression was a little hesitant. He struggled for a few seconds and then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I heard some rumors."

"Oh? Tell me." The Queen Mother knew that this girl Liu Mu was good at martial arts and went to more places. She was also a steady and cautious person on weekdays. What she could bring up was definitely not ordinary gossip.

"There are rumors that the emperor intends to let Le Concubine give birth to his eldest son. He doesn't want other empresses to get ahead of him, including the empress..." Liu Mu did not dare to say any more at this point.

The Queen Mother was very surprised, but not angry. She sighed and said, "The Ai family will not interfere in Yin'er's own affairs."

She knew that her son had a close relationship with her niece Wen'er since they were young. The two grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Her son also revealed to her that he wanted to marry Ding Wen, but it was a pity that the late emperor granted him a marriage to Han's daughter before his death. He and Wen'er didn't become a married couple.

Later, he took Wen'er into the palace, but did not make him a concubine. He just arranged a concubine position that was not too high or too low, and he was also changing his direction to protect Wen'er.

After all, the Ding family is no better than before, and Wen'er's mother clan is not strong enough.

The Queen Mother sighed silently. Both of her children were good children and people who valued friendship, but now they were not very good. How could she not feel distressed as a mother?

…

Bai Ruozhu's family of three left the palace gate and rode towards the Bai Mansion. Bai Ruozhu thought that she would see her relatives soon, and temporarily put behind her the worries of not learning how to do it.

Xiao Dengdeng was sitting in front of his father. The jolting of the horse as it ran made him particularly excited. He cackled with laughter and shouted excitedly. Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but laugh next to him.

The three of them turned into the alley where Bai's Mansion was located, and saw a group of people standing in front of the house. Everyone was waiting eagerly, fearing that they had been waiting for them for a long time!

"Dad, Mom, we're back!" Bai Ruozhu shouted excitedly like a child, then flew off the horse, rushed to Lin Ping'er, and hugged her mother.

She used to be small and could throw herself into her mother's arms, but now she is half a head taller than Lin Ping'er, who also has more frosty hair on her temples.

Lin Ping'er's eyes were red but her crow's feet were getting darker when she smiled. She said excitedly: "You guys are back. I miss you so much!"

"I miss my parents too, as well as my eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother, mistress, and Guizhi. I was thinking about coming back every day when I was outside, and now I'm home." Bai Ruozhu didn't even notice the coquettishness in her tone.

Little Dengdeng was hugged by his father and got off the horse. He pouted and said, "Don't you miss me, mother?"

Bai Ruozhu let go of Lin Ping'er and scratched Xiao Deng Deng's nose angrily, "Don't you miss me? Mom said she missed our Deng Deng family at the city gate. Have you forgotten?"

Little Dengdeng laughed and said, "You said it, I didn't forget it."

Everyone laughed. Jiang Yichun stepped forward and saluted the two elders. Bai Ruozhu also hurriedly greeted the eldest brother and the second brother. The family forgot to go in when they were so excited, so they gathered at the door to talk. It was Zhang Liliang who reminded them before everyone reacted. , hurried back to the yard.

"I asked someone to prepare a banquet. We all served it and talked while eating." Lin Ping'er said with a smile.

Everyone agreed. Guizhi held Bai Ruozhu's arm and asked her if she had eaten well and slept well outside. Bai Ruozhu smiled and said everything was fine, and asked her how the business of the beauty parlor was.

Looking at the lively family, Bai Ruozhu felt extra warm. She had love, family, and friendship in this life, what else could she be dissatisfied with?

After entering the house, Bai Ruozhu asked Jian Qi to distribute the gifts to everyone. Even the youngest in the family, Xiao Chenxi, had a gift. The little girl couldn't speak yet, but when she saw the gift, she opened her mouth and smiled stupidly. She was just like Dengdeng when she was a child. Sex, Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but smile and said: "We, the children of the Bai family, are all born to be obsessed with money."
