The day passed in the blink of an eye.
Concubine Chen recovered very well. She was able to eat and sleep well, and her complexion looked better day by day.
"Let me take the Queen's pulse again." Before leaving the palace, Jiang Ying took another look just in case.
Although it seemed like she was just taking a pulse, she had actually opened her sea of consciousness and scanned Concubine Chen's entire body like an X-ray, making sure that there were no problems anywhere before she withdrew her hand.
"The queen's pregnancy is very stable, and the two children get along well. Now we are just biding our time, waiting for them to grow up enough so that they can be born naturally."
In the past, Jiang Ying liked to use the Sea of Consciousness ability because it consumed a lot of energy.
I tried this once or twice when I was in school. The first time I fell asleep for days and nights and almost scared my roommate to death.
The second time was better. She slept for a whole day and night, and her cerebral cortex and eyeballs were very painful. If intrauterine surgery was necessary this time, she might wish she still had the skill.
If it's mainly common diseases, she can tell by taking the pulse, so there's no need.
But miraculously, after using the Sea of Consciousness for five hours, she seemed to have developed a natural immunity to the side effects of using the Sea of Consciousness, and now it is not so strenuous for her to use it.
This is great news for Jiang Ying!
Upon hearing this, Concubine Chen held Jiang Ying's hand gratefully, "Thank you, Sister Jiang. Oh, yes, I think it's okay for me to call you sister, right? You are younger than me, and I need you to continue to take care of my baby for the next five months. I can always call you Miss Jiang, Miss Ying, or something like that."
In fact, she wanted to recognize Jiang Ying as her sister, but she was afraid that it would be too abrupt.
So you should first adjust to the older sister being shorter.
Jiang Ying smiled slightly, "It's up to you, Your Majesty, to do whatever you like. However, my sister should be the same as your other sisters in the harem, right?"
She already holds the title of Princess of Yanzhuo County, so don't misunderstand that she wants to rise to the top.
Hearing this, Concubine Chen was stunned for a moment, then she laughed and pretended to be angry and hit Jiang Ying's palm, "Girl, you really dare to say anything!"
But she didn't have such an idea, especially unlike other concubines in the harem.
Those people, they are full of twists and turns, and have many thoughts in their minds, but if a woman is looked at by the emperor for a few more times, they will go into the news recklessly and spread rumors that are disgusting.
I'll knock on it if I have a chance!
Even though she was away from her child, Jiang Ying was still somewhat impatient when she could leave the palace.
There is so much freedom in the palace, it seems as if the air is filled with the smell of freedom.
Just as I packed my things, Yan Zhuo came over and said, "Let's go, let's go straight out of the palace. I've already talked to the emperor."
There were two days off in total, and Jiang Ying chose to leave the palace overnight, but if she was delayed early the next morning, she would have to wait another half day.
In addition to returning to the Duke's Mansion to see her grandmother and brothers, the most important thing is that she must go to Xinghua Village with Yan Zhuo to deal with the curse and the time bomb that concerns her life and the life of the Jiang family.
"Okay, hold our son for a while." Jiang Ying politely pushed his five-month-old, almost 10-pound son to her. It was too hard to hold this little meat ball now.
If she does farm work all year round and is quite energetic, I am afraid she will cry from exhaustion.
Then, Yanzhuo held the child while Jiang Ying freed her hands. Siyu followed behind with the bag and medicine box on her back. The group left the palace in a swagger and in a very low profile.
They didn't expect that when they left the inner palace, the eldest prince and the second prince would come to see them off.
The eldest prince said, "Aunt Jiang, the Queen Mother said that the egg yolk molten bean paste is delicious, but it is too sweet. Can you put more sugar next time?"
As he spoke, his short, fat little hands hurriedly stuffed a gold box into her arms.
"This is a gift from your mother. You must see it now. You can see it after you leave the palace." The eldest prince blinked, a little mysterious and generous. "Come back soon."
After all, the egg yolk molten bean and velvet milk cake are so delicious!
Aunt Jiang must have other delicious dishes. Thinking of this, the eldest prince Yan Shuheng couldn't help but licked his lips.
[Ha!] Xiao Yan was lying on the back of his scumbag father, looking down at the eldest prince, [Why does he look stunned? He already knew he was lying!]
[What does the Queen think is sweet enough? Does he think so too? 】
[Mother, don't pay attention to him, I think it's sweet and delicious! 】
Jiang Ying took the gift box with his mouth twitching.
The prince did not hold the brocade box, but held a flower that he had just picked from the imperial garden. He was small, so he stood on the ground, touching Jiang Ying's calves, and waved his hand, asking Jiang Ying to lower himself a little.
Glancing at Yan Zhuo, Jiang Ying was helpless and lowered his head in agreement.
The prince then carefully inserted the pink flower into Jiang Ying's hair, stepped back and tilted his head to take a closer look, and finally nodded with satisfaction, "It's beautiful, Sixth Auntie!"
Jiang Ying: "..."
How would she know when it became a name?
Yan Zhuo at the side was obviously very satisfied with this title. He touched the prince's head in praise and said, "Bai Ling is really smart. Later, the Sixth Prince will bring you some fun things from outside the palace."
"Okay, okay." The 3-year-old child was so happy that his eyes and eyebrows were flying.
The eldest prince was a little puzzled. Why did the sixth uncle praise his younger brother and praise him?
He stepped forward decisively and said, "Sixth Uncle, you can't be partial. I want to eat Li Ji's Jiaohua Chicken. Can you bring it to me?"
Yan Zhuo glanced at Jiang Ying from the corner of his eye, "Sure, call someone."
"Sixth uncle?"
"You called me..."
At this moment, he knew that the foodie was smart, and the eldest prince's IQ had improved. In short, he reacted quickly and shouted to Jiang Ying, "Hello, Sixth Auntie!"
The voice was loud and powerful, and he almost stood at attention and raised his hand to salute.
Jiang Ying: "..."
The palace maids and eunuchs who were passing by quietly in the distance couldn't help but look in their direction.
Jiang Ying gave Yan Zhuo a sharp look. "You dog king, you're always thinking about taking advantage of her."
The two little princes gave him such face, so Jiang Ying wanted them to return empty-handed, so he opened Siyu's medicine box and pretended to take out a few fruits from it, and then he took out some mangoes from the empty space.
He gave each of them two and handed them to the two children. "You two princes are really good. Take them. But remember to smear your lips with fruit juice before eating them. It's easy to have allergies."
The latter sentence was said to his two little followers.
Fruits produced in space are rich in spiritual energy, and are refined while the possibility of allergies is low.
The mangoes were quite large, weighing about two kilograms each, and the two children were too small to carry them at all. The palace maid hurried forward to take them, bowed to Jiang Ying and thanked him, then left with the young master.
It was only after this little episode that the family got on the carriage back home from the palace gate.
I didn't have time to complain just now. In the carriage, Xiao Yanqi was very polite. She reached out several times to take off the flower pinned by the prince on Jiang Ying's head.
[You little prince, you are a weakling, you don't have any appreciation for me. My mother is naturally beautiful, so beautiful that she can make fish sink to the depths and geese fall to the ground. Is it necessary for her to be so vulgar as to learn to wear flowers in her hair? ]
【And giving someone a flower as a gift is really a steal! 】
Suddenly, he sighed again, [Ah... But Concubine Ruan is quite poor, her family is a small county, why does she like to sleep so much? Because sleeping saves lamp oil, food and drink! ]
Jiang Ying: Is it necessary to be so calculating?
After all, she is the mother of a prince and a concubine!
However, this is just the monkey's superficial words. How can outsiders know the specific reasons?
When the monkey reminded her, she suddenly remembered that the eldest prince had given her a golden box and insisted that she wait until she left the palace to see it. She didn't know what it was.
He immediately bent down, opened the medicine box and prepared to take out the golden box to have a look.
Yan Zhuo pinched the boy sitting on her lap, but she always wanted to touch Jiang Ying's little legs. She was very surprised - no one was talking, so why did it seem like she and her son were interacting for several rounds?
What exactly is wrong with you?
With a "click", Jiang Ying finally took out the jewel box and opened it. There was not only a gift but also a small note inside.
——Aunt Jiang, Aunt Liuqin said that this is what the Queen Mother values most. I guess it should be able to exchange for a lot of money. If you want, can you sell me all your snack recipes?
Jiang Ying froze. How could this child be so happy eating?
Out of curiosity, I picked up the small square object in the box and took a look. It was made of jade and felt warm to the touch. The material alone was very valuable and it should be worth the money.
But when she subconsciously turned it over to see what was carved on the bottom, her hand got burned and she almost let the thing slip out of the car window.
"Yanzhuo, this..."
Jiang Ying was dumbfounded and put the thing in front of Yan Zhuo, wanting him to confirm it.
But before the words were spoken, the monkey's heart was even louder, and he cried out, "What? Is this the Queen's private seal? The eldest prince is... slapping his hands like a shaver, he's going to be doomed!"
