Childbearing system: The royal family is shocked to see their offspring wither away!

When the Queen saw Ling Dao coming towards her with a thin figure, she looked a little distressed.

"Hey, Lingdao, if you're not feeling well, just go back. I'll still pay you this month's salary."

"And the money for the medicine will naturally be given to you by me."

The emperor was very satisfied with what the queen said.

He smiled and said, "The queen is very virtuous."

"Ling Dao, you really have a good master."

"..."

Lingdao looked at the emperor holding one in his arms and Princess Pingnan holding another in her arms, and there was no strange look in his eyes.

She just said calmly, "Your Majesty is right. After all, the Queen is considerate of me, so I should also be considerate of her."

"...Your Majesty, your hands must be cold. I will go get you a hot water bottle right away."

"Your fear of colds started when you were pregnant with your youngest son. You need to take good care of yourself."

As soon as these words were spoken, the air became quiet.

No one in the palace didn't know how the queen contracted the cold.

Wasn’t she the ninth prince’s mother who contradicted the queen at that time?

Afterwards, the queen gave birth to a stillborn baby. The difficult labor took too long, and the death of the child also harmed the mother's body. This was a rare chance of saving her life.

Afterwards, she developed a fear of colds and could no longer have children. Even if she did, it would be very difficult and could easily harm her body.

So after the queen, she never gave birth to any more children, only one son and one daughter.

Ling Dao's words undoubtedly pierced the Queen's heart.

When Chen Zhining was at the scene, it was not that he was stabbed with a knife, but that knives were falling from the sky.

God knows what impression the Queen had of the Ninth Prince and Chen Zhining after hearing these words!

This is very obvious, and the favorability rating dropped a lot in an instant.

Even the system beeped and prompted: "How come... your favorability dropped by 15 points all of a sudden?"

"Host, it seems that this spiritual sword is not simple."

Chen Zhining nodded at Tu Douzi expressionlessly.

Then, he took the lead in breaking the heavy atmosphere and laughed softly.

"That's right. The Ninth Prince also knows that the Queen is afraid of cold, so he has been making glutinous rice and lotus seed soup since she was a child to nourish the Queen."

"This glutinous rice and lotus seed soup... needs to be boiled overnight. Last night, he specially cooked soup for the queen and boiled it overnight."

"His eyes were red from staying up so long, and he didn't get much sleep. This morning, he went out with big dark circles under his eyes, like panda eyes."

"This is probably the only dish he can cook. Besides, this soup can not only cure chills, but it is also what the Queen likes to drink."

"Empress, this soup is very beneficial to your body."

"He cooked the soup yesterday, and I brought it back early this morning.

It’s just that the food in the palace was so good that my daughter-in-law didn’t feel comfortable bringing the food he made.”

"..."

Hearing this, the queen's expression suddenly softened.

She hesitated and said, "Old Nine's cooking is naturally good. After all, he only knows how to make glutinous rice and lotus seed soup. I don't know how long he has been learning how to make this dish."

"This child...is not born with any cooking skills. If he wants to cook, he has to work hard to learn. The soup he made at the beginning was quite unpalatable..."

As he spoke, his voice gradually faded away.

The queen just felt that she shouldn't have done that just now.

Although, the reason why his youngest son was aborted was because of the ninth prince's mother.

The Ninth Prince's mother really deserved to die, but what had the Ninth Prince done wrong? !

He has suffered a lot of grievances in the palace over the years, and he is already twenty-two or twenty-three years old, but has not yet been granted the title of a prince. This time, he will be granted the title of a prince only because of his meritorious service.

...If it was a normal situation, when she was only 22 or 23 years old, how could I, as the queen, ask the emperor for a title? !

Even if the child was born to a palace maid.

She would also be generous enough to ask the emperor for a title.

After all, these are the only children who have grown up and started their own families.

He's so old, and if he doesn't ask for the title of a prince, wouldn't that make Lao Jiu and his wife... the laughing stock of the whole capital? !

But before the Queen, she felt uncomfortable and had some resentment in her heart.

She could have gone to the emperor to ask for a title. As the queen and the one who had been raising the Ninth Prince, she had the right to do so. But she really didn't want the Ninth Prince to live such a comfortable life.

After all, his legitimate son had already died at that time.

But today, when the queen looked at the bowl of glutinous rice and lotus seed soup brought to her by the maid beside Chen Zhining, her heart was shaken.

She didn't know what to feel.

It turned out that the Ninth Prince, whom she had always ignored, was thinking about her all the time.

On the day of Little New Year, he would also make delicious glutinous rice and lotus seed soup for himself.

Even the Crown Prince and Princess Pingnan don’t know how to make this glutinous rice and lotus seed soup... Thinking of this, the Queen’s eyes became moist.

At this moment, she felt a little regretful and wondered why she had treated Lao Jiu like that before.

Why is Lao Jiu... not his own son? !

The Grand Princess Pingnan, who was standing next to them, saw that the expressions of the Emperor and the Empress had eased a little.

He immediately took the glutinous rice and lotus seed soup and said with a smile: "Oh, this is really delicious!"

"Neither I nor my brother the Crown Prince know how to make glutinous rice and lotus seed soup."

"It seems that Lao Jiu is still filial to his mother."

"Mother, come and try this glutinous rice and lotus seed soup. How does it taste?"

"...Well, what he makes always tastes good."

At this moment, the queen showed a gentle smile, and even ignored the sharp look of Lingdao beside her.

She no longer cared about what Ling Dao had said before. She just drank several mouthfuls of the glutinous rice and lotus seed soup and ate several lotus seeds.

The lotus seeds are so soft and sticky that they almost melt in the soup.

But because the lotus seeds are so fresh.

So they haven't been completely cooked yet, but are immersed in the soup like small balls.

The milky white soup looks sweet and tempting. The lotus seeds are put into the mouth with a spoon and melt in the mouth as soon as they are taken a sip.

"...This tastes really good, and is no worse than what my small kitchen makes."

"And the lotus seeds and glutinous rice are fresh too."

The queen exclaimed in admiration, and then she began to smile.

"Pingnan, you and your eldest brother, you two must study hard in the future."

"Oh, I can't learn it."

Princess Pingnan said with a smile.

"This glutinous rice and lotus seed soup is not an ordinary soup. It requires a lot of attention just to find the right time to cook it over medium, high or low heat."

"......And the lotus seeds must be newly harvested this year, and the glutinous rice must be preserved in good condition."

"This glutinous rice is not in season now. To preserve it well and eat it with a good taste, it really needs a special storage and access method."

"If it weren't for Old Nine's thoughtfulness, then today... I'm afraid the glutinous rice and lotus seed soup you drank, mother, would definitely not taste particularly good."
