Chapter 671 Silkworms
"Nowadays, the people of South Vietnam can eat cheap salt, and it is all thanks to Yue'er." Jun Lie's favorite thing is to chat with Xiao Jiuyue. Watching Xiao Jiuyue's belly getting bigger day by day is what he thinks is the happiest thing in the world.
"That also depends on you. Without your protection, the salt well would have been discovered by others long ago!" Xiao Jiuyue said modestly. If she had not chosen to cooperate with Jun Lie at that time, her salt well would have been discovered long ago!
"Mother~"
Little Xingxing staggered towards Xiao Jiuyue. The one and a half year old Xingxing could now walk very steadily and speak clearly. She raised her hand and said, "Send mother away!"
"Little Star, what are you going to give your mother?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at her daughter's chubby face, which was like a cotton ball. She stretched out her hand and looked at her daughter curiously, wondering what her daughter was going to give her!
"Empress!"
Lianxin strode after him, followed by her son Zhuangzhuang. Before she could finish her words, she saw Xiao Jiuyue staring at the silkworm in his hand without saying a word for a long time.
"Jun Huan!"
When Jun Lie saw the silkworm, he picked it up and placed it in front of Xiao Xingxing, saying by name, "How could you give worms to your mother?"
"It's not a bug, it's a baby!" Little Star wasn't afraid of Jun Lie at all. She looked up and said seriously, "Send it to Mommy, a silkworm baby!"
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star speaks fluently, but often repeats words, spouting out three words at a time.
Jun Lie pinched the silkworm and looked at his daughter's cute face while hearing the crisp words of Little Star. He just couldn't bear to scold her!
"Mother!"
Little Star looked at Xiao Jiuyue aggrievedly, with a pair of big gem-like eyes, which were instantly filled with tears and her mouth pouted.
"Thank you, Little Star, for the silkworms, mother..."
Xiao Jiuyue gently touched Xiao Xingxing's hair and glanced at the silkworm in Jun Lie's hand. Xiao Jiuyue, who had always been afraid of this kind of animal, really couldn't say anything to express her love for it.
Xiao Jiuyue paused and said, "Mom is very happy. When little Xingxing sees something he likes, he wants to give it to Mom!"
Xiao Jiuyue was happy that her daughter would send her any good things, but the bugs...
Xiao Jiuyue touched her daughter's face and said in a negotiating tone, "However, mother is afraid of insects. Next time, can we let our little star see her off?"
"Good bugs! Cute bugs!" Little Star tilted his head in confusion, his eyes seemed to be asking why his mother didn't like him?
"Xiao Xingxing, here are your silkworms." Jun Lie returned the silkworms to Xiao Xingxing. Xiao Xingxing opened his little hands and touched the silkworms happily. His cautious look was particularly warm and beautiful!
Little Star squatted down, put the silkworm on the ground and started playing. He took out a handful of mulberry leaves from his pocket and gave it to the silkworm: "Eat, eat, eat!"
"Haha~" Xiao Jiuyue laughed, holding her belly, and said, "How can little Xingxing be so cute!"
If she wasn't pregnant, she would definitely hold the little star in her arms and give it a good kiss!
Unfortunately, now that she is pregnant with twins, her belly is particularly big!
"Next time, you better watch out and don't let the princess play with bugs!" Jun Lie looked at Lian and the others and reminded them.
"Silkworms." Little Star looked up and corrected.
"Okay, okay, Silkworm." Jun Lie shook his head helplessly.
Xiao Jiuyue asked curiously, "Lianxin, where did her silkworms come from?"
"There are so many empty palaces in the harem. Didn't Her Majesty say that these palace maids were idle anyway, and now is the perfect time to plant mulberry trees and raise silkworms? Her Highness the Princess saw this and liked it very much. She said she wanted to catch one and give it to Her Majesty!"
Lianxin answered very seriously, describing the scene when she was so happy to get the little star and gave it to Xiao Jiuyue.
"My daughter is such a caring little girl. She always thinks of me, her mother, when she has something good." Xiao Jiuyue was very pleased.
Jun Lie on the side said sourly: "Don't they say that daughters are close to their fathers?" Why is Xiao Xingxing still closest to Xiao Jiuyue?
"You're already a father, yet you're still jealous of your daughter?" Xiao Jiuyue could barely suppress the smile on her face. She ordered, "Donggui, have someone raise some silkworms for Xiao Xingxing. But be careful, wash your hands after playing with them, and never put them in your mouth!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't like to stuff things into her mouth." Lianxin usually takes care of Her Royal Highness the Princess and her own son. But her own son is the only one who likes to stuff everything into his mouth!
Her Royal Highness the Princess likes to touch and look at everything, but never put anything in her mouth!
"Your Majesty, I'll go right away." Donggui immediately went to look for silkworms. There didn't need to be many silkworms for the princess to play with, as long as they looked good. Then she could put some things in the box so that the princess could have fun!
"That's true." Xiao Jiuyue smiled as she watched Xiao Xingxing feeding the silkworms, and all the tenderness in her eyes was revealed.
Jun Lie sat aside, and even when he listened to Xiao Jiuyue chattering about some trivial things and looked at the mother and daughter, he had an indescribable sense of happiness!
"Your Majesty, there's news from the palace!" Eunuch Gui stepped forward and respectfully handed over a letter.
Jun Lie looked at the handwritten letter, opened it and took a look before saying, "Since the emperor is ill, let the imperial physician go and treat him!"
"If the imperial physician is unable to diagnose the condition, please ask Mr. Wang to come." Jun Lie looked at the message in the letter, which said that the emperor was ill and did not want the imperial physician to treat him.
"Wait a minute." Jun Lie stopped Eunuch Gui and said, "I will go to the palace tomorrow."
"Yes." Eunuch Gui responded.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with father?" Xiao Jiuyue couldn't explain her father-in-law. He had ignored Jun Lie in the past, which made Jun Lie's childhood extremely dark and he grew up in the cold palace!
Jun Lie was able to leave the cold palace, firstly because of the sympathy and mercy of the Queen Mother, and secondly because he gave up his status as a prince and went up the mountain to collect herbs for the Queen Mother himself!
"It's an old illness. Since he abdicated, Father's health has not been good. But it's okay. Ask Elder Wang to prescribe some medicine and it will be fine!" Jun Lie said soothingly, "Tomorrow, I will go there myself."
"Go see the Empress Dowager again and ask her if she's willing to return to the palace." Xiao Jiuyue reminded him, "It's a pity that I'm not feeling well, otherwise, I would definitely go see her!"
She had met the Queen Mother several times in the palace. The Queen Mother gave her the impression of being a kind old lady. When she and Du Ting married into the royal family together and entered the palace, the Queen Mother even supported her!
Later, a lot of rewards were given!
"Okay, I will tell the Empress Dowager that you are looking forward to bringing her into the palace to spend her remaining years there!" Jun Lie held her hand and suppressed the worry in his heart. The letter said that the health of the retired emperor was not very good!
