I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

"He has been practicing the way of an emperor and the art of balance all day long. Now that the world is in turmoil because of him, I don't see how he can have the face to meet his ancestors!"

Qing Jue felt a little anxious when he heard the Queen Mother's words.

"My Lady, it is not a good thing that the world is in chaos. The people in the world will definitely suffer from this war."

"Your mother brought this slave back from the flames of war, but I dare not forget those days. I originally thought that the people could live a stable life for two years, but now..."

The Queen Mother's eyes moved, looking at the yellow leaves falling from the branches outside the window, as if she was lost in memories.

Seeing this, Qing Jue didn't dare to step forward and disturb him.

After a long time, the Queen Mother sighed leisurely.

"The Ai family didn't come from a war-torn era? Why don't you know what the world is in chaos?"

"But if this country invades, the people of Great Zhou will definitely fall into dire straits."

"Although Ai Jia is the emperor's biological mother, His Majesty has been arbitrary and arbitrary for so many years. How can he listen to Ai Jia's advice?"

"Now I say a few words intentionally or unintentionally. I just hope he can listen."

Qing Jue knew that the Queen Mother was helpless. If the Queen Mother could really influence the emperor's thoughts, the generals in the court would not be feared or demoted by the emperor.

"The Queen Mother, the palace servants of Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince would like to see you."

Just as the Queen Mother and Qing Jue were facing each other in silence, the palace maid's report came to mind outside the door.

Hearing that the visitor was from the Queen Mother's womb, the Queen Mother couldn't help but show a bit of joy on her face.

"Invite people in quickly. The Ai family must ask about Ke'er's situation."

The person who came was none other than the prince's personal eunuch. The young eunuch bowed to the queen mother and then presented the box he had brought with both hands.

"The Queen Mother, Your Highness the Crown Prince asked your slave to bring you pills. They say they are the new beauty pills from Jishi Hall. They say they are medicine but they are actually a kind of prepared tonic."

"It contains the essence of centuries-old ginseng, deer antler, snow lotus and other precious medicines, and the taste has been specially prepared."

The Queen Mother's eyes couldn't help but light up when she heard about beauty treatments.

He winked at Qing Jue, who immediately stepped forward and took the box from the little eunuch's hand.

"Does it really have the effect of beautifying the skin?"

"I heard that the doctor at Jishitang personally tried it, and it does have this effect. Although it won't make you ten years younger, it can make your skin firmer and reduce spots on your face."

"Get up and talk. The Aijia accepts Ke'er's wishes."

"The Ai family heard from the emperor that Ke'er and the Crown Princess fell ill. How is the situation today?"

The little eunuch's expression remained unchanged, and he continued what he said last night.

"Back to the Queen Mother, Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are fine. It's just that they were infected with the cold a few days ago and are still recovering, so they can't come to greet you in person."

"His Highness said that when he and the Crown Princess recover, they will definitely visit the Queen Mother every day."

Sure enough, the Queen Mother immediately beamed when she heard that her eldest grandson was coming to see her.

"Okay, okay, the Ai family is here waiting for them to come."

……

In the Yangxin Hall, the emperor was reviewing the memorials, and a young eunuch told the emperor what happened in the Cining Palace.

The emperor snorted coldly and threw away the memorial in his hand.

"The heartless thing only remembers his grandmother, and even forgets my father who single-handedly raised him!"

Liao Cheng was startled and hurried to pick up the memorial that fell on the ground.

However, he did not dare to say anything. The emperor was furious and might find someone to vent his anger on.

Sure enough, just now he was only looking at the memorial to the emperor, but his eyes immediately moved to Liao Cheng who was picking up the memorial.

"There's no need to pick it up and have it thrown out. It's all a bunch of nonsense. Everyone can answer the questions I asked."

"If I can tell you one, two or three, I still have to figure out whether what they say is true or false!"

Liao Cheng had no choice but to pick up the memorial and put it on the imperial case.

"Your Majesty, this memorial cannot be thrown away. If someone sees it, I'm afraid those censors will have to blame it again."

Hearing Liao Cheng mention the officials in the court, the emperor's face couldn't help but darken a little.

"How is Sima Lian?"

"My servant closed the door after hearing that Master Sima returned home. He should be recuperating at home."

The emperor's face looked a little better now.

"What did the Crown Prince send to the Queen Mother? Send someone to check it out. If it's something good for me, I'll also want some."

Liao Cheng was in trouble, but looking at the emperor's expression, he knew that the emperor would not regret it.

Seeing that Liao Cheng was about to leave, the emperor reminded him again.

"By the way, don't say it's me who wants it. Just find any excuse, I just want to see what the prince has done behind the scenes."

Liao Cheng responded and grimaced when he left the door.

……

"Your Highness, what happened?"

In a guest room of Jishi Hall in Qingshui County, a man in purple frowned while looking at the letter in his hand.

The woman sitting on the edge of the bed couldn't help but ask.

The man turned around and handed the letter in his hand to her, which showed the trust between the two.

"Liu Shun said that my father sent people to the East Palace. Although he has invited his cousin to deal with it in the East Palace, if he doesn't show up again, I'm afraid my father will become suspicious."

The woman quickly read the letter in her hand and turned her eyebrows slightly.

"Liu Shun said that he had already given the beauty pills to my grandmother. My father will definitely know about this, so your Highness doesn't have to worry too much."

The prince stood by the window, watching the bustle of people coming and going on the street outside the house, and fell into deep thought for a while.

The woman stood up and walked to her side, hugging the man from behind.

These two people were clearly the current prince and princess.

The prince felt the movement behind him, turned around and took the person behind him into his arms.

"Your Highness, it's Jin Yu's fault that has caused His Highness to this day..."

Thinking that the prince had never taken another concubine for her in all these years, and even though she had no heirs, the prince still did not give up on her, which made the prince's eyes red.

The prince sighed and hugged the person in his arms a little tighter.

"What are you talking about? I said I would heal you at the beginning, so how can I say no and not take my word for it?"

The prince's words made the princess choke up. The only right choice she made in her life was the prince.

"Okay, don't worry too much. Zhang Siyuan's wife is not a simple person. Didn't she say yesterday that your condition has improved? I believe that with her medical skills, you will be better soon."

The princess wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief and then smiled.

"General Zhang's wife is indeed very skilled in medicine, but I don't know where General Zhang is..."

Thinking of what they discussed last night, the princess couldn't help but feel worried.

Although they were indeed superior to Zhang Siyuan in terms of status, the person who treated her was Zhang Siyuan's wife after all.

If Zhu Qiuqi no longer wants to see her, no one will be able to force her to do so.
