Jiang Qingxue sighed heavily.

"Husband, don't be happy too early. I heard that the step-empress was poisoned when she was pregnant. The thirteenth prince was born with a disease. He grew up soaking it in a medicine jar since he was a child. With such a fragile body..."

Whether you can grow up safely or not is a matter of two words.

This Dongli country is afraid that its strength will be exhausted.

I'm afraid Su Yun's Qingyun Road is also hanging.

Su Yun had never met the Thirteenth Prince, but he had heard someone mention it vaguely. He was wondering how Jiang Qingxue, a stay-at-home woman, knew so clearly, but he did not ask further questions and just advised her. road.

"Madam, don't say this nonsense. Fortunately, there is no one else here."

Jiang Qingxue smiled and stopped talking.

She was out of confinement and it was already the end of the twelfth lunar month. Compared with the hustle and bustle of previous years, the capital this year was particularly lifeless. Even the vendors selling fireworks and firecrackers had disappeared, but New Year's goods still needed to be bought.

Su Yun asked Xiao Man and the housekeeper to buy new year's goods. There was not even meat in the market. They only bought a bunch of rice noodles and dry goods from the north and south. Su Yun sat aside and sighed.

"We're okay. Qingxue has just given birth. How can she bear it without any trace of meat?"

Xiaoman suddenly remembered something and reminded him with a smile.

"Sir, don't you still have a few chickens and ducks in the backyard? Keep the ones that lay eggs. The ones that don't lay eggs can be killed to replenish the health of my wife."

Su Yun lifted up her robe and walked happily to the backyard.

"Why did I forget this?"

Those chickens and ducks were given to them by Xiao Fuzi. They were reluctant to eat them and brought them with them when they moved. Unexpectedly, they saved the day.

Jiang Qingxue has always been generous and spends money lavishly. The eggs laid by those chickens are usually eaten by the cooks and women. This time Su Yun went to look and found not a single egg.

How could Su Yun know this? He rummaged in the chicken coop for a long time and wondered.

"Hey, why don't you have any eggs? Are you too old?"

Xiaoman looked at those hens for a long time and thought it was impossible. He casually assigned a boy to take charge of feeding the chickens and looking after the eggs.

"Maybe they haven't been fed enough. If you feed them enough today, they must let them lay eggs tomorrow. If they can't lay eggs again, you are the only one I can ask."

So, at breakfast the next day, Jiang Qingxue ate delicious steamed eggs. Su Yun sat next to her and smiled happily, not forgetting to tease her a few words.

"It's better for me to prepare for a rainy day. I prepared chickens and ducks a year ago. Otherwise, you and the child will starve. The child can't survive without milk. Now the wet nurse can't be found."

Jiang Qingxue said frankly that she didn't want to breastfeed by herself.

"You ask the housekeeper to go out and ask for milk-producing goats, and then find a way to buy two of them. I don't want to be a wet nurse all the time."

Su Yun actually bought two sheep, and Jiang Qingxue felt much more relaxed.

She took the postpartum repair elixir, and her body returned to its pre-pregnancy state. However, the weather was cold and she couldn't go out to exercise. She was bored, so she practiced health qigong in her room.

Su Yun looked at it for a moment and realized the beauty of it.

He picked up a pen and paper and drew every move.

As soon as Jiang Qingxue turned around, she caught something.

"Okay, are you stealing lessons?"

Su Yun took her hand, held it in her palm and rubbed it.

"What kind of kung fu is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

Jiang Qingxue closed her eyes with an unpredictable expression on her face.

"It's okay to tell you. The old god gave me a book, which recorded several exercises. This is Baduanjin. He said it can strengthen the body. Ayun is a scholar and has been weak since childhood, so he can practice it. Come try it.”

Seeing that what she said was serious, Su Yun also started to learn. He only learned for two days and mastered various movements.

"Madam, how do you think you are practicing for your husband?"

Jiang Qingxue was surprised and said again.

"Very good, I will teach you another set of exercises. This exercise is called Diamond Exercise. It can prolong life. The old god relies on practicing this exercise. He is already 108 years old this year and can still walk as fast as flying."

Su Yun looked at her suspiciously and smiled.

"The old god treats you so well. He has taught you such a powerful technique."

Jiang Qingxue suddenly felt depressed.

"It's a pity that he always disappears. I don't know if we can meet again in this life. Even Xiao Fuzi is gone. Ayun, I only have you in the future."

Su Yun felt pity in her heart and held her tightly in her arms.

"Nonsense again, and our children."

New Year's Eve soon came, and there was no palace banquet in the palace this year. Even if there was, it probably wouldn't be Su Yun's turn. The thought of being able to rest at home for another seven or eight days made him even happier than if he had attended the palace banquet.

The New Year's Eve dinner was not sumptuous, but the two of them were still very happy.

Su Yun looked at Jiang Qingxue and giggled.

"Madam, thank you for giving me the warmth of home and giving birth to a pair of children. With such a good wife, what more can a husband ask for?"

The firelight reflected his face, as clear as an immortal.

Jiang Qingxue also looked at him and smiled.

"When Ah Yun becomes successful in the future, don't forget what you said today. Of course, if you change your mind, I won't blame you..."

Su Yun interrupted her hastily.

"Why are you talking nonsense again?"

Jiang Qingxue was smiling, but her eyes were lonely.

"I hope that day never comes."

Su Yun was frightened. He felt that he could not figure out Jiang Qingxue more and more. Then he thought, maybe it was because Xiao Fuzi was not around, which caused her sadness.

……

The long cold winter has finally passed, and the ice on the river in the suburbs of Beijing has also melted. Xiao Fuzi often goes to the river to catch some fish, shrimps and crabs to satisfy Jiang Qingxue's appetite.

Su Yun was recently promoted to a fifth-rank official, and became the bachelor and lecturer beside the young emperor. He specialized in reading the history of scriptures and teaching academic studies for the emperor.

Just because he was the last top scholar in a new subject, and he was born with an unparalleled talent. The little emperor, who was only five years old at the time, had a runny nose and looked at the portraits of everyone in the Hanlin Academy. He and Zhou Junyan were chosen at a glance. .

The Queen was very dissatisfied.

"Emperor, these two are too young, how can they take on such an important responsibility?"

The little emperor caught wind and cold, sneezed all over the place, and couldn't stop his nose and tears.

"Queen mother...ah sneeze..."

The queen felt distressed and sighed.

"That's all, let's choose these two people first. When His Majesty gets better, we will announce them to the palace."

The vitality of the imperial court was severely weakened, and there were no more people to choose from. People with no backgrounds like Su Yun and Zhou Junyan were especially valuable.

When the imperial edict arrived at the Su Mansion, everyone in the Su Mansion was beaming with joy, but they did not dare to laugh too wildly. After all, the late emperor had just been buried in Huangling.

Ever since Su Yun became a lecturer, Jiang Qingxue had let Xiao Fuzi enter the palace and paid attention to the goings-on in the palace. Xiao Fuzi came back and said that the thirteenth prince was likely to die young.

Jiang Qingxue was afraid that he would be troublesome, so she hurriedly said.

"Don't waste my elixirs. You got so many birds last time and wasted several elixirs, didn't you? You must discuss everything with me in the future, and you are not allowed to make your own decisions."

Xiao Fuzi curled his lips and said.

"I wasn't trying to meddle in anyone's business."
