Chapter 944 Others can’t do it, but she can.
At this moment, the Second Lady also came out with her people: "Tsk tsk, are they arguing again?"
He spread his hands while drinking wine: "Who made me born with such beauty that people envy me?"
The Second Lady smiled as she looked at the warm wine: "Let me see your natural beauty."
After a closer look, the Second Lady laughed, "No wonder she's angry. Even I was furious when I saw her. Tell me, we all eat whole grains, so why has your mother become more and more beautiful over the past decade or so? Now she looks like my daughter."
"Second aunt is wrong. Mother is the most beautiful woman in the world, so second aunt must be second. From a distance and up close, I think you two are sisters. Third aunt, on the other hand, looks like your elder."
Sanbao added with a smile, and what he said was true. Although Second Auntie didn't look like Mother, she was much younger than her peers.
The Second Lady was immediately amused.
"You naughty boy, you always know how to tease people. Come on, come on, come inside. I just got a big basket of crabs today, and I have them well taken care of. I know you like to eat them, but no one is allowed to touch them. I'll wait for you to come back."
"Second aunt, we can eat these crabs, but mother can't touch them." Sanbao said again.
The Second Lady was stunned for a moment, then saw the other treasures nodding. She blinked her eyes and excitedly hugged Wenjiu's arm: "What's going on? Is there something wrong? Tell the truth!"
Wen Jiu: "...My aunt, let's go in and talk in detail."
After saying that, he motioned her to look towards the door.
The Second Lady was stunned for a moment. "Why hasn't she left yet? I don't know what's wrong with her these past two days. She comes wandering around whenever she wants, and she looks down on everyone she sees. I don't know what's wrong with her."
"Come on, how do we go in and talk about it?"
As Wenjiu said this, he pulled the Crown Princess into the house.
"...Mother, aren't we leaving? If you want to stay a while, I'm going in to play with Sibaoer."
Outside the door, carriage
Inside, Hongqing saw his mother staring intently at the Fourth Prince's Mansion. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "How about you go in with your son?"
"I'm not going in! What for? To watch them laughing and playing mahjong every day? What does a coachman do for a living? Hurry up and get going. And you, don't ever go there again. Why don't you learn your lesson?"
The third lady was getting angrier and angrier the more she thought about it. These people weren't home to warm the wine, and yet they didn't even call her! They deserved to be short of one of them.
Hongqing glanced at his furious mother and finally chose to shut up.
He secretly envied Sibao. Now that Sibao was back, his uncle's house must be bustling with activity. He wanted to go and play, but his mother wouldn't let him.
Alas, I don’t know when my mother will calm down.
In reality, Wenjiu wasn't as lively as before. That evening, everyone went to see Shanzha's newly born twins and had a good meal. But since then, things have been quiet again. For several days, the Fourth Master hasn't been seen, and none of the sisters have come to play mahjong. Even Shanzha and his wife didn't even hold a celebration for the first month of their baby's life.
Wenjiu felt more and more that something was wrong. Those boys in her family were very cunning, but they didn't show any sign at all. Just when she heard that the Tenth Master had returned that day, Wenjiu immediately asked someone to come over.
Dabao and the others were afraid that the Tenth Master had let the cat out of the bag. Seeing that Mother had stabilized after three months, it would be better if they told her again. After hearing the news, they hurried over.
"Hey, you guys have all gotten stronger, huh?"
When the Tenth Master saw Dabao and the others, he immediately became happy and strode over to pat them one by one.
"They have become much stronger, not bad."
"Uncle Shi, you've been traveling so long, why don't you take a rest before coming here?" Dabao said.
"Why are you tired? I was just going to the hot springs with your tenth aunt. It was so relaxing. I rushed back as soon as I heard about the Royal Grandmother's illness."
As soon as these words were spoken, several treasures turned pale and turned to look at Wen Jiu.
"What are you looking at?" Wen Jiu frowned slightly. "Why would you hide this from me? You guys are just like your father."
Wen Jiu turned to look at Liu Su as he spoke. "Have you packed? It doesn't have to be much, just some food that's not available in the palace. The Queen Mother loves the canned yellow peaches I make, so bring more. Clothes and other things are all available in the palace."
"Master, everything is ready. Look, who are they taking with them?"
"You and An Luhai follow, the others stay at the mansion." After saying that, he looked at the Tenth Master and said, "Let's walk."
"Mom, where are you going?" Dabao immediately blocked her way.
"Go into the palace, I'll go guard the Queen Mother." Wen Jiu said calmly.
"Mother, your health is not good. If you don't think about yourself, you should think about your little sister in your belly. You can't go to take care of the sick." What you feared really came true. Dabao didn't dare to stop her, but just helped warm the wine.
"Okay, I know my body well. Don't try to stop me. You can't stop me."
"Uh...did I say something wrong, Sister-in-law Si, what's wrong with your body?" Master Shi sensed something was wrong.
"Even if you didn't say it, I guessed it. Second sister-in-law hasn't been seen for a few days. I'm afraid she has gone to the palace to attend to the sick. How long can you keep it a secret? If mother doesn't go, she will really regret it for the rest of her life."
Wen Jiu felt unhappy, thinking about how the Queen Mother had shown her love from time to time in the past two days. She also thought that the Queen Mother was thinking of her because she ate the food she sent.
I didn't know that she was seriously ill now and I was thinking about her.
Ever since the passing of Concubine Shu two years ago, the Empress Dowager has been in poor health and her memory is not as good as before.
Wenjiu and Xiaojin flipped through the history books and found that it was only a month since the empress dowager passed away.
Before, Wenjiu had been sending the Empress Dowager various supplements. Her health was much better than before, but Wenjiu was still worried.
There are some things that I am mentally prepared for, but it is still not easy to face them.
Thinking this, he walked out the door.
Dabao looked at it and sighed: "What are you looking at? Just follow me."
The group entered the palace in a grand manner.
The gatekeeper knocked on the group and held out his sword to stop them.
The commander saw it and immediately slapped him in the face, then smiled and let the carriage carrying the wine pass.
"You fool, how dare you stop anyone?"
The young guard was stunned: "This... Commander, I see you gentlemen, but there are women in the carriage. We must check them, right?"
"Since it's your first day on duty, I won't punish you. Remember, others can't, but this person in the carriage can. No one would dare to stop you from entering the Forbidden City, let alone the Cining Palace."
"This... Commander, why is that? The woman seems young and I can't see her face, but I recognize her clothes. They're not the clothes of a non-prime wife. Is this the Tenth Master's concubine? Or the concubines of one of the young masters?"
When the commander heard this, he immediately covered the little guard's mouth.
"Are you going to die? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll twist your tongue. Listen carefully, that's Prince Yong's only concubine, the mother of the Emperor's favorite quadruplets, and a big shot in front of the Empress Dowager, Concubine Wen!
Prince Zhan Dagumi, do you know?"
The young guard was stunned. "That's natural. When I was a child, I heard my father say that Prince Zhan Dagumi was known as the first Baturu of the Qing Dynasty. He defeated all opponents in the world, but in the end he lost to the disciple of the Fourth Prince."
"That's right, Zhan Dagumi is the disciple of this Concubine Wen. Rumor has it that the only one in the world who can rival the Fourth Prince in chess is this Concubine Wen.
She now manages maritime trade with the Ninth Prince, and is the first woman in Qing history to participate in government affairs. The Emperor has granted her the same rights as the princes, allowing her to enter and exit the city gates. The power she holds is beyond your and my imagination.
The young guard was completely stunned when he heard this: "She, she, she... doesn't look that big..."
The commander sighed a bit after hearing this. "Yes, it's strange. I was seven years old that year. I went with my father to attend the full moon banquet for the quadruplets of the Four Princes' Palace. At that time, I caught a glimpse of this concubine from afar. I was simply astonished by her beauty. I never knew that such a beautiful person existed in the world. Now my beard has grown long, and my children are even older than I was then. How come Concubine Wen doesn't look any older? Speaking of which, she should be close to forty, right?"
The young guard was completely stunned. After a while, he said, "The same age as my grandmother?"
The two fell into a long silence for a while.
After a while, the commander said, "Anyway, remember this: she doesn't like to show off and dresses modestly. Don't treat her like an ordinary woman. Don't say anything like what you said today."
The young guard nodded rapidly, "I know, I know."
