The sound of falling rain continued until dawn, which made people feel a bit gloomy.

Sheng Yunzhao had a simple breakfast. Maybe the weather had passed and she was a little tired, so she planned to go back to the bed and lie down for a while.

But people from Cining Palace came to Xiangyi. Hu Dezhong, the manager of Cining Palace, personally brought someone to carry a sedan.

The smile on Hu Dezhong's face was thick and smooth, "The Queen Mother is considerate of your pregnancy, so she sent a sedan to invite you into the palace. Madam, this is the first time that the Queen Mother cares about you so much. It shows how much I like her." Madam.”

A faint smile appeared on Sheng Yunzhao's face, "Mr. Hu, I'll be there later. I happen to have something to honor her."

Anyone can say nice things, it just depends on whether they are willing or not.

After saying that, she went back to her room, took the brocade box and put it in her sleeve, and followed Hu Dezhong into the palace.

When I arrived at Cining Palace, I saw the queen kneeling outside Cining Palace in the rain.

The queen didn't let Gong'e hold an umbrella, she just knelt upright on the wet bluestone ground.

The bun is a little loose. I don't know how long I have been kneeling, and my hair is wet. The hair under the temples sticks to my cheeks.

Sheng Yunzhao paused, silently bowed to the queen, and then stepped forward.

This is a poor woman, she was only responsible for giving birth to a son.

But the son was raised by the Queen Mother after he was born, as if he had nothing to do with her, and he never got close to her.

Nowadays, she has such a pitiful mother's heart that when her son is at the end of his rope, she has to kneel down and pray for a chance of survival for her son.

I'm afraid that in the Queen Mother's heart, there is no use value. She is afraid that she will die on her knees, and the Queen Mother will not pay attention to it...

When Sheng Yunzhao entered the main hall of Cining Palace, the Queen Mother was sitting in a chair with her eyes closed and concentrating. The young chamberlain was standing behind her, pressing her head.

There is soothing and gentle music slowly flowing out from behind the screen, which adds a touch of leisure.

Probably after hearing the footsteps, the Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes and looked at the abdomen of Sheng Yunzhao who came in. "Well, after three months, you will show your pregnancy soon. You look good, I guess there is nothing wrong with the child." Making trouble for you.”

Before Sheng Yunzhao came closer to salute, she stopped him and said, "Let's just forget about those false gifts."

Sheng Yunzhao just listened to the Queen Mother's words and didn't take them seriously. He still knelt down and bowed before getting up.

The Queen Mother was satisfied and said, "Sit down, I heard that the business of your incense shop is good?"

As she spoke, she waved her hand, causing the chamberlain and the court musicians to retreat.

Sheng Yunzhao said: "It's all just for the ladies' support."

She said and glanced at the Queen Mother, and sure enough, her complexion was extremely poor, showing that he was shriveled and gray.

The Queen Mother saw that she answered appropriately and was not flattered by the fact that she was particularly kind to her. This calmness alone made her sigh inwardly that not many people could be as calm as she was.

The Queen Mother looked kind and friendly, "Have you researched the Beauty Pill that Ai Jia told you about last time?"

She had already reached the limit of her endurance and knew that it would be impossible for her to take the initiative to send her to the palace. Therefore, she specially sent Hu Dezhong to carry a sedan to pick her up.

A faint smile appeared on Sheng Yunzhao's face, "I will live up to the Queen Mother's expectations."

She reached into her sleeves and took it out, "After the Queen Mother talked to my daughter last time, my daughter sent people out to look for cinnabar, and finally pieced together some here and there. After several failures, I finally made it.

Even if the Empress Dowager does not send someone to tell me about my daughter today, I still plan to enter the palace to ask for an audience with the Empress Dowager. "

With that said, Sheng Yunzhao stepped forward and respectfully held his hands in front of the Queen Mother.

A flash of light flashed in the Queen Mother's old eyes. She thought Sheng Yunzhao was still going to push the envelope, but she didn't expect that she would actually do it.

She couldn't wait, but she still maintained her demeanor and opened the brocade box pretending to be indifferent.

But her slightly trembling fingers betrayed her excitement.

However, the fragrance hit her nostrils for a moment, making her completely forget about her posture.

Although the taste was similar to what Sheng Yunzhao gave her last time, the Queen Mother was well versed in elixirs and incense. Although she didn't know how to make them, the things she used were all of the best quality, and she could tell what was good by just smelling it.

The Queen Mother can be sure that this Beauty Pill is definitely more pure than the last one.

Then he frowned and his expression darkened slightly, "Why are there only nine?"

Sheng Yunzhao felt a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, everything in this is extremely precious, but I am just a minister..."

The Queen Mother understood immediately, her eyes flashed, and she said with some annoyance: "You girl, you seem to be quite smart, but also a bit too honest, just tell the Ai family what you need.

Let's do this, you make an order and come out, the Ai family will set up a separate elixir-making palace for you in the palace, so that it is convenient for you..."

Sheng Yunzhao sneered in her heart. She had expected that the Queen Mother would say this. Want her recipe?She said without thinking: "Some things are precious, but the most lacking thing is cinnabar..."

Sure enough, as soon as she said these words, the Queen Mother fell silent, and there was also a shortage of cinnabar in the palace.

The trash she raised also searched for cinnabar everywhere, but it was hard to find it.

After a moment, the Queen Mother raised her eyes and said somewhat tentatively: "Didn't you go to King Huainan to buy it?"

Sheng Yunzhao looked helpless, "The King of Huainan is not easy to talk to. He only gave me two words, no. There is nothing I can do..."

The Queen Mother secretly grinded her teeth. She had previously thought of using her to seduce Yue Chenyan to rekindle her old love.

After all, in the past few years, Yue Chenyan has been as calm as an enlightened monk at such a young age.

The only time I fell in love was with Sheng Yunzhao. .

But she was strangled in the cradle. She couldn't do it without using means to destroy it. Once the King of Huainan and Sheng Kuan joined forces, the Chu family would be in danger!

But now, Sheng Yunzhao is pregnant with a bastard again. He is calm, wise, proud and noble as Yue Chenyan. I am afraid it will be more difficult for him to fall in love again!

In almost a moment, the Queen Mother had already thought about it several times.

When he came back to his senses, he found that Sheng Yunzhao was lowering his eyebrows and looking downcast, as if he was also worried about the cinnabar. The childish face had faded away, his facial features were delicate and bright, his eyebrows and eyes were lively, and his movements revealed his butt. Not elegant.

Even an experienced old man like her liked it. With such a face, she secretly thought, there should be no man who would not be tempted by it.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother raised her voice and said: "Reward!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a waiter came out with a tray in his hand.

There was only a brocade box with the lid open on the tray. As she got closer, Sheng Yunzhao saw at a glance that there was a stack of banknotes in the brocade box.

Hu Dezhong closed the brocade box himself and held it in front of Sheng Yunzhao with both hands.

Sheng Yunzhao stood up, "This..."

Wouldn't you just use this little money to send her away?

According to visual inspection, the banknote is only 1 taels at most.

What she wants is not this precious little money.

Hu Dezhong said with a smile: "The Queen Mother has given me a reward, please accept it, girl."

There is no reason to refuse a reward from a superior, and besides, this is also her reward.

The Queen Mother said at this time: "If you work for the Ai family, the Ai family will not treat you badly. The Ai family will try their best to find cinnabar as soon as possible. You should continue to look for it and make more beauty elixirs for the Ai family."

Sheng Yunzhao smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother."
