Chapter 701 Jiuer, come to me
De Fei laughed when she heard this, and did not continue the topic. She only asked, "Is the Queen Mother awake?"
Concubine Yi raised an eyebrow, then followed Concubine De's words and said, "I haven't seen Nanny Fang yet."
As she spoke, Concubine Rong also walked into the Cining Palace at a quick pace.
It happened that Nanny Fang came out right after her.
Rong Fei immediately smiled and said, "Mammy, Sister Hui Fei just said that she was feeling a little unwell, so I came to the Empress Dowager's palace to take a look."
Upon hearing this, Nanny Fang immediately asked, "How is Concubine Hui's health?"
Rong Fei said, "He seemed to be in good spirits when he returned, but he was a little unwell. I will ask someone to check on him later, and I hope the Empress Dowager will not worry too much."
Nanny Fang then smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your help, Your Majesty. The Empress Dowager has excused you from paying your respects. She just said she is fine. You may all return now."
"The Empress Dowager is not feeling well. How can we be at ease if we haven't seen her? What did the imperial physician say? Is the Empress Dowager coughing again?" Rong Fei continued.
Nanny Fang: "The imperial physician said that the Madam should rest and recuperate. There is nothing serious wrong with her. She just has a poor appetite."
"Poor appetite? The Empress Dowager hasn't enjoyed her meals lately... Doesn't the imperial physician have any advice?"
After hearing this, Concubine De smiled and said, "Mammy, when Jiu'er came over, he also brought a lot of snacks and fruit juices.
These are some fresh things, so please send them in and ask the Queen Mother if she would like to use some."
Nanny Fang looked over and said, "Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort has ordered this, so I must send it to Her Majesty the Empress Dowager for her to see."
Then he glanced at the warm wine beside him, with a smile on his face: "Concubine Jin came today? The Empress Dowager was thinking about you a while ago."
He then glanced at Liusu who was following behind Wenjiu, and saw that his little granddaughter was now fair and tender, and was smiling at him. His eyes suddenly narrowed into slits due to smiling.
Wen Jiu also smiled: "The Empress Dowager is thinking about her, and I am thinking about her too. Since I can't see the Empress Dowager today, I have to trouble Madam to bring in some food."
Nanny Fang: "Please wait a moment. I will take the food in and ask if the queen wants to see you."
Having said this, he bowed to the ladies beside him and turned to go into the house.
At this point, almost everyone's gaze shifted to Wen Jiu, most with a hint of inquiry.
When they came over, Nanny Fang asked them to go back. When they came over to warm the wine, she went back in to pass on the message?
Nanny Fang's attitude, to a certain extent, represented the Empress Dowager's. Could it be that the previous rumor that Wen Jiu had saved the Empress Dowager was true?
Before anyone could figure it out, Nanny Fang came out and bowed with a smile, "The Empress Dowager invites you all in."
He then smiled at Wenjiu and Defei again and made a gesture of invitation.
The people guarding outside now looked at each other and followed them into the palace.
Wen Jiu stepped into the main hall of Cining Palace and couldn't help but frowning slightly.
Perhaps because the Empress Dowager was older and afraid of the cold, her chamber was much warmer than outside.
As far as the eye can see, there are four charcoal braziers.
You can feel that the air in this room is very turbid. I guess even a person with good health will feel dizzy if he stays in here for a long time.
After everyone entered the bedroom, they stood outside for a long time until the cold air on their clothes had dissipated, and then they went inside.
The Queen Mother was now leaning against the head of the bed, supported by a maid, her face still somewhat pale.
Seeing everyone, she also said angrily: "You guys, I told you to skip the greetings today, why are you all here? You are always disobedient."
Concubine Yi was usually closer to the Empress Dowager, and she smiled and replied, "Your Majesty, you are not feeling well. We haven't seen you yet today, and we couldn't sit still worrying about you. Now that I see you looking so radiant, I can finally sleep."
The Queen Mother laughed when she heard this, and said to Nanny Fang, "Listen, listen, she's getting more and more talkative."
Nanny Fang also laughed: "I think what Concubine Yi said is true."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around started laughing.
The Queen Mother's gaze moved around the crowd, finally settling on Wenjiu. She immediately waved at her, "Jiu'er, you're here. Come here, come to me."
Wen Jiu immediately stepped forward and let the Queen Mother pull her hand, saying with a smile, "It's been a long time since I last saw Her Majesty the Queen Mother. Jiu'er has missed you."
The Queen Mother smiled and took a few looks at him while warming the wine. "After giving birth, most women become more plump. How come you are still this thin? But look at this fourth brother. He's treating you well. You look good, rosy, and energetic."
Wenjiu's appearance was already very stern, and seeing him leaning over so obediently, and being the Queen Mother's favorite child, the smile on his face couldn't help but deepen. He even patted Wenjiu's hand.
[Ding, received 1 heart from the Queen Mother.]
"Empress Dowager, Jiu'er has always listened to you. Didn't you tell me to take good care of myself earlier? How could I dare to slack off?"
As he warmed the wine, he smiled again and said, "It's just that your Majesty has been slacking off. We agreed before that you should get up and move around, regardless of winter or summer. You've been lying down for a few days now, haven't you?"
When these words came out, everyone around couldn't help but be shocked.
The Empress Dowager is still sick. Who dares to let her move?
Even Concubine De was a little anxious. This girl usually seemed smart, so why was she being so naughty again?
The Queen Mother's cloudy eyes swept around, taking in everyone's expressions. She then patted the hand warming the wine and said, "Isn't it because you don't come often to accompany me? Only you are so audacious that you dare to let me go out with you. If you didn't come, how could they have the courage to do so?"
I still remember that the first time Jiu'er saw her, she dared to let me go for a walk outside the cabin with her.
The people behind them looked at each other in confusion, some of them not being able to figure out what the Empress Dowager meant. For a moment, no one dared to speak.
Concubine Zhide smiled and gave Wenjiu a glare: "You are such a rude child."
Then he looked at Empress Dowager Xiang again and smiled, "She is younger than you and hasn't seen you for a long time. She doesn't know that your illness requires rest and recuperation."
As he said this, he glared at Wenjiu again.
"Why don't you let the child tell the truth?" The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine De unhappily, then smiled and said, "My illness is all caused by holding it in."
He took another look and saw that no one around him continued to speak. He just pulled the hand that was warming the wine and said, "As soon as I saw the food, I knew it was you who sent it.
The smell was light and refreshing. I took a sip and felt much better. It was more effective than that medicine."
