"But under the current circumstances, there is nothing the Queen Mother can do."

Nanny Wei supported the Empress Dowager and pinned the crabapple blossom on her graying hair.

"Your Majesty can interfere with the Emperor's wishes, but you can't decide."

The Queen Mother's words were full of meaning, "I have my own way."

Xiao Ruyu pricked up his ears, wanting to listen to what the solution was, but he heard the footsteps getting farther and farther away.

Oh no, I wonder if the Empress Dowager is going to force another woman on Daddy?

She quietly poked her head out from among the flowers and found that the Queen Mother had gone far away, so she quickly pulled Eleven out as well.

[The Empress Dowager has passed away. There is no need to hide anymore.]

Eleven picked a few petals from the top of her head, took a look and chuckled.

【Eleven, lower your head.】

He lowered his head obediently after hearing her words. Xiao Ruyu tiptoed to pick off the petals that were stuck on his head.

She giggled.

【Eleven, you are a playboy. 】

Eleven blushed and shook her head, "Little princess, don't talk nonsense. Eleven has never flirted with anyone."

[Okay, it’s getting late, go back and rest. ]

Xiao Ruyu skipped back to the bedroom, leaving Eleven standing there in a daze.

After returning to her bedroom, she couldn't wait to start making medicinal wine.

Relying on the recipe from memory, she ordered her servants to fetch a large vat.

The maidservant had all gone to bed. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked, "It's late at night. Little Princess, why don't you do it tomorrow..."

"If the Queen knew that I was still awake so late, she would blame me."

Xiao Ruyu waved his hand and promised.

"Don't worry, if mother blames you, I will take the blame for you."

She told her maid what she needed and asked her to get it from the storeroom.

It was the middle of the night.

Xiao Ruyu rubbed his sore wrist, sniffed the aroma of wine, and felt satisfied.

Mission accomplished!

She collapsed on the bed, fatigue overwhelmed her, and she fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up the next day, it was already noon.

Before going to bed yesterday, she deliberately tasted some of the medicinal wine.

This part is used to strengthen the muscles and bones of the eleventh child, and naturally it also has a calming effect.

The headache caused by the hangover disappeared completely. Xiao Ruyu stretched lazily and thought of the medicinal wine in the other jar.

She jumped out of bed with her legs thumping and lifted the lid impatiently.

After just one sniff, she quickly covered it.

Eleven happened to come to pick her up from school at this time. He saw her stealthily scoop a spoonful of medicinal wine and put it in the wine pot. Just as she was feeling puzzled, she was called over.

【Eleven, come and hold it for me. 】

Xiao Ruyu took the wine jug down with great effort, and Eleven quickly took it.

[I’m not in a hurry to go to school today. I’ll go find my dad first.]

She pushed the wine jug into Eleven's arms, a cunning look flashing across her face.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Emperor Shangwen had just finished his morning court session when he saw Routuanzi running towards him.

He picked up Xiao Ruyu with one hand, and a gentle look appeared on his serious face.

"Won't the little princess go to school early?"

"Why did you come to see me this morning?"

Xiao Ruyu hugged his neck and said in a baby voice, "The teacher said I was diligent, so he granted me half a day off."

Hearing her say this, Emperor Shangwen's smile widened.

"That Yu'er is really hardworking."

[Eleven, bring the medicinal wine over here quickly.]

Eleven heard her thoughts and handed her the medicinal wine.

"What is this?" Emperor Shangwen looked at the medicinal wine in confusion, unable to figure it out.

"Why would Yu'er suddenly send me wine?"

[Dad, please try this. This is the medicinal wine I made myself.]

Hearing that she had brewed the wine herself, Emperor Shang Wen became interested. He opened the lid and the rich smell of wine hit him.

"Medicinal wine?"

"What is the effect of this wine?"

Xiao Ruyu immediately said, "It's a medicinal wine to relieve fatigue."

"Yu'er saw that Daddy was too tired from handling state affairs these days, so she made this wine specially."

She looked at Emperor Shangwen eagerly, urging him to drink it.

【Daddy, please try it. 】

Emperor Shangwen drank it in one gulp without thinking. The taste of the wine was mixed with a light medicinal flavor, and it was soft and delicious.

He touched Xiao Ruyu's head with a doting look in his eyes.

"Yu'er has grown up and knows how to feel sorry for me."

"I am very pleased with your thoughtfulness."

Xiao Ruyu blinked and tilted her head, "Then Daddy will be busy first, Yu'er will go back first."

Emperor Shangwen nodded with a smile.

After leaving Shou'an Palace, she went straight back to the Queen's Palace.

Queen Duan was also a little surprised to see Xiao Ruyu appear early in the morning.

"Why did Yu'er come here so early?"

Xiao Ruyu leaned close to her arms and handed her the medicinal wine.

[Mother, please try this medicinal wine that I made myself last night.]

“That’s pretty fast.”

Queen Duan smiled and tapped her forehead, a little angrily, "Did you go to bed very late again yesterday?"

Xiao Ruyu stuck out her tongue and held up the medicinal wine for her to drink as quickly as possible.

Queen Duan did not spoil her fun and took it and drank it.

The refreshing taste spread in her mouth, and she felt a little surprised.

“I didn’t expect that the medicinal wine Yu’er brewed is not inferior to the fine wine in the palace.”

Seeing her praise, Xiao Ruyu raised his head with a look of pride.

[Of course, this medicinal wine was carefully prepared by me.]

She suddenly thought of the purpose of this trip, and her face immediately darkened and became a little sad.

Seeing her sudden change of expression, Queen Duan was puzzled, "What happened?"

Xiao Ruyu pretended to sigh and mentioned it casually.

[I just went to look for Daddy. He was not feeling well, as if he had caught a cold. He lay down on the bed after the morning court session.]

"Really?"

When Queen Duan heard this, she instantly became nervous.

[Yes, Yu'er saw that Daddy has been coughing, Mom, please go and check on him. ]

Xiao Ruyu blinked her eyes, looking anxious.

Queen Duan did not think deeply about it and stood up anxiously, "Then I will go and take a look now."

"I've been telling you to work less hard these past few days..."

She muttered as she walked towards the door.

When he reached the door, he remembered Xiao Ruyu who was still in the hall, and turned around to give instructions.

"Jin'er hasn't woken up yet. Yu'er will go call him later."

Xiao Ruyu nodded like a chick pecking at rice and waved at Queen Duan.

After she left, Xiao Ruyu's expression changed instantly. She raised a bright smile and walked towards Xiao Rujin's bedroom humming a little tune.

Eleven was stunned and asked.

"What tricks has the little princess come up with? The emperor clearly doesn't have a bed..."

Xiao Ruyu grinned and leaned close to his ear.

[I mixed the flowers of the Chinese albizzia tree into Daddy’s medicinal wine, and gave Mom a potion to increase her fertility.]

"Albizia Julibrissin, isn't that right?"

Eleven was frightened and took two steps back before reacting.

"This...is not good for the Emperor and the Empress."

He couldn't hide the worry on his face, "If we are discovered, the little princess will..."

【Don't worry. 】

Xiao Ruyu waved his hands, looking relaxed.

[The amount of powder mixed with the flowers of the Chinese albizzia tree is very small, so it won’t be discovered.]
