Chapter 662 Jiaojiao Still Wants a Sister
Song Yanxi smiled faintly and explained, "The tranquilizing incense used by the Empress is simply a blend of more than ten common medicinal herbs.
Apart from calming the mind and helping sleep, there is nothing special about it.
As for the princess saying that the queen looks good these past few days, it's just a sign of getting enough sleep, so it's nothing surprising."
Seeing Mo Yingxue's look of disbelief, she continued, "Night is the time for sleep. If you stay awake for a long time in the middle of the night, or wake up in the middle of the night, it will consume your body's energy.
Not only will it cause hair loss due to deficiency of Qi and blood, but it will also cause a sallow complexion, and symptoms such as lack of energy and irritability.
"Ah, is it really so serious just because I don't sleep?" Mo Yingxue was shocked.
She said with regret, "That was too scary. From now on, I will never read a storybook by lamplight in the middle of the night again."
The queen glanced at her quietly and took note of what she said.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Xianglan coming over. She said, "A few days ago, I happened to get two ancient books on medical theory. I don't have anyone around me who knows medicine, so keeping them would be a waste.
Now it's a good opportunity to give it to you, so that you can make the best use of it."
Song Yanxi hurriedly said, "This ancient book is too valuable. I cannot accept it."
The Queen said, "If it were anything else, I would be reluctant to see you off.
This thing is useless to me, so please accept it."
Mo Yingxue also said, "Fifth sister-in-law, please don't be so polite to the Queen Mother.
This is medical skill, not something else. If you don't accept it, we won't understand it even if we stay."
They said this just to be polite.
If Song Yanxi took everything seriously, she would be stupid.
The Queen Mother had already sent people to deliver gifts to the Princess's Mansion a few days ago, and all the gifts were very valuable.
Now he has specially collected ancient books as a gift to her. This gift is a bit too much for her.
If she accepts it again, she may find it difficult to repay the favor when she needs it in the future.
Meeting her troubled eyes, Mo Jinchuan smiled faintly and said, "Xi'er, this is a token of the Empress's kindness. Please accept it."
The Queen saw the clue and said helplessly: "Why are you being so polite to me, child?"
She smiled kindly, "You will soon marry into Prince Jin's Mansion and become my daughter-in-law.
Not to mention just two books, even if you want the moon in the sky, I will find a way to pick it down for you."
Knowing that her words might sound a bit hypocritical, the Queen said sincerely, "I only have one daughter, Xue'er. Naturally, I will treat whoever treats her well."
She turned to look at Mo Yingxue and said earnestly, "You have a weird temper and you don't know how to say nice things. Fortunately, they are good-tempered and don't bother with you.
You should be more restrained from now on. You are almost getting married now, so you should not act as recklessly as before."
Mo Yingxue said unhappily, "Look at what my mother said. If I get married, I'll have to keep my tail between my legs. So I'd better not get married."
The queen's face darkened, "What nonsense are you talking about?
As a woman, there is no reason not to get married. I am not afraid of being laughed at if I tell others about it."
"What are you afraid of?" Mo Yingxue said nonchalantly, "Anyway, I have my father and mother to look after me. Even if I don't marry, I won't lose a single bite of food."
"If one day, your father and I are no longer around, what will you do?"
"Where are Father and Mother going?"
Meeting the Queen's worried eyes, Mo Yingxue suddenly had a flash of inspiration and blurted out, "I know. Father is going to take Mother on an incognito tour to understand the people's sentiments, right?"
The queen was amused by her naiveté and pushed her with her hand, saying, “Read less of those messy notebooks in the future. You’re always thinking about writing something in your head.
If people knew about this, they would think I gave birth to a fool."
Mo Yingxue was not annoyed. Instead, she deliberately moved forward and snorted, "If this son is an idiot, then what are my father, the emperor, and my mother, the empress?"
Before the Queen could scold her, she quickly said, "So I am not stupid, I am smart."
As she spoke, she chased after the Queen and asked, "Mother, am I very smart?"
The queen was so frustrated by her that she could only say, "Yes, yes, I have given birth to an extremely intelligent daughter."
Mo Yingxue felt a little embarrassed when she heard this, and said awkwardly, "Mother, how could anyone praise their own daughter like this?"
The Queen laughed out loud in anger, looked at Mo Jinchuan and said, "Look at how you all have spoiled her, and what has she become.
If she continues to indulge herself like this, who will dare to marry her in the future?"
Mo Yingxue stopped slouching and said confidently, "So what if no one wants me? I have my father, the Emperor, my mother, the Empress, and my fifth brother and sister-in-law."
She paused, then continued, "Even if things don't work out, I still have my third and second brothers. I won't be short of food."
"You!" The Queen smiled and shook her head, saying helplessly, "I really can't do anything about you."
Jiaojiao looked at the close mother and daughter, tilted her head and thought for a while, then hugged Song Yanxi tighter.
From now on, she will also have a mother.
Her mother is better than anyone else's mother!
Just thinking about it made the little girl laugh with joy, but she was afraid of laughing too loudly so she could only cover her mouth and laugh secretly.
Feeling the little person in her arms trembling, Song Yanxi's heart tightened and she hurriedly looked down to check.
Jiaojiao was caught off guard and met her worried eyes. She felt a little embarrassed and tugged at the corner of her clothes with her little fingers.
He looked left and right, but didn't dare to look her in the eye.
If you didn't know him, you would think he had gotten into some terrible trouble because of his guilty look.
Afraid that Song Yanxi would ask, she quickly whispered, "Mother, Jiaojiao didn't think about anything."
Hearing the word "want", Song Yanxi's heart finally settled down.
She touched Jiaojiao's little head and said softly, "Jiaojiao, you can think about anything."
"Really?" The little girl's eyes were full of anticipation.
Seeing Song Yanxi nod, she chuckled and said loudly: "Then Jiaojiao wants a younger brother!"
Thinking of the brothers who obviously preferred their younger sisters, she added, "Jiaojiao also wants a younger sister."
The little girl counted with her chubby little fingers, pointed out two and said, "Mom, there are two in total."
After recovering from the shock, Song Yanxi was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
She wanted the little girl to think about it, but it wasn't like that...
Seeing her face flushed red, Jiaojiao realized that she must have said something wrong. She lowered her head and poked her little finger and said, "Mom, I'm sorry. Jiaojiao won't think about it next time."
When Song Yanxi heard her admit her mistake, she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Did she scare the little girl?
Just as I was thinking about how to comfort her, I heard the Queen disagree, "How can I not think about it? Jiaojiao, you should think about it more. I am still looking forward to holding more grandchildren."
Unexpectedly, the queen would agree with the little girl's words. Song Yanxi felt her cheeks burning.
She glanced at Mo Jinchuan and saw that the latter was listening very seriously, obviously taking this matter to heart.
Seeing her shy look, the Queen smiled and said, "You two are not young anymore. Once you get married, you should hurry up and have some children."
several?
Facing Song Yanxi's somewhat shocked eyes, the Queen said as a matter of course: "The royal family has few offspring, so naturally the more children you two have after marriage, the better.
Don't worry about not being able to bring them. His Majesty has already decided on the teachers to be hired for the children in the future.
You just need to take care of yourselves, and leave the rest to His Majesty and me."
