Since the Queen Mother and the Third Princess were coming, Zhao Huaizhi couldn't leave the villa. He had to stay by Fengjiu's side. "Hurry up and go to the palace to ask for leave. I was injured today and won't be able to attend the court tomorrow morning."
"Yes." Ying Yi set out from the villa overnight, entered the palace through special channels, and successfully met the emperor.
"What did you say? Lao Jiu is injured?! What happened?" Emperor Bai Tian was shocked.
The youngest son said during the day that he wanted to marry his beloved girl, and his father had already started counting the betrothal gifts. But how could he have been injured in the evening? Who acted so quickly?
Ying knelt down and lowered his head, not daring to speak clearly, "Your Majesty, I left the palace injured."
These words made the emperor think of his queen first. He waved his hand and asked Yingyi to leave.
"Youming, go and ask." In the palace, there is nothing that the Youming Guards don't know, even if the Cining Palace has blocked the news.
The Netherworld Guards only report matters that the emperor is concerned about on a daily basis. They will not report other matters unless the emperor asks, but all of them are recorded in a register.
"Yes, sir." A dark shadow flashed down from the corner.
He returned soon after and handed the emperor a booklet.
The emperor was immediately enraged when he saw this. "Sun Wanwan! You're putting on airs in the Cining Palace!"
"Yes." The palace servants did not dare to delay and directly carried the emperor to the Cining Palace.
At that time, the queen had just finished taking a bath and was about to go to bed. Suddenly, she heard that the emperor was coming. She immediately rolled out of bed. When she raised her eyes, she saw the tall emperor had walked in with a very dark face.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?" The queen's face turned pale, and she obviously realized what a stupid thing she had done.
The emperor was so angry at her foolishness that he almost vomited blood. "Sun Wanwan, tell me what you were thinking? Giving your own son an aphrodisiac? How could a mother in her fifties do such a ridiculous thing?"
Aphrodisiacs were once a taboo in the royal family. The battle for the throne of the Nine Dragons was caused by an aphrodisiac that prevented the royal family from giving birth for ten years.
How dare the Queen give her son this kind of medicine, adding insult to injury?!
"Your Majesty, I was wrong. I saw Jiu'er was determined to marry a woman of unknown origin, and I was afraid that he would be deceived. So I came up with this desperate measure in a moment of desperation. But if he had just married Yuhua obediently, wouldn't there be no problem?"
"So you're forcing your son like this? Have you forgotten that your son is Zhao Huaizhi? You were promoted to the position of empress because of him. Do you want him to feel disheartened by you, his mother?"
Even the emperor had to rely on Zhao Huaizhi to consolidate his throne, otherwise he might not be able to suppress the court and his ministers. Therefore, the emperor was very tolerant and doting on Zhao Huaizhi.
"I am doing this for his own good. If he marries Yuhua, he will get the support of the Sun family." The queen may be stupid, but she actually just wants to be frank in front of the emperor. This has been her way of winning favor for many years.
The emperor did not like women who were too complicated, and the queen often suited his taste. In addition, Zhao Huaizhi was capable, so when the previous queen died of illness, she took the throne smoothly.
"Support, bullshit! You think the Sun family is so good, but why don't you see that the Sun family has been in decline for a long time and is holding your son back?"
Besides, why would the youngest son need help? Does he even want to ascend to heaven?
The Queen's eyes filled with tears. "That's your son too."
"Then you are ruining my son. Go and reflect on your mistakes! You should be thankful that you are only bullying your own son. If you were to go after the girl he loves, you would be punished by my son. I will not help you."
The queen shuddered and threw herself towards the emperor, as if grasping at a lifeline. "Your Majesty, please don't abandon me. My son is unreliable. I only have you..."
Whose motherhood was as miserable as hers? The empress actually cried, and then her entire body pressed against the emperor. What happened next caused all the palace servants to leave the room...
At the Ninth Prince's Villa, Fengjiu had eaten and drunk her fill. When she returned to her room, Zhao Zhunzhi had already tidied himself up and was leaning against the headboard reading a book.
Fengjiu took some clean clothes from the closet, went into the bathroom to wash up, swam a few laps in the large bathtub before coming out, dried her hair, and fell asleep on the couch.
Zhao Huai was injured by Chinese medicine, so I gave the bed to him.
Zhao Huaizhi paused as he turned the pages of the book, but he didn't say anything. However, after Fengjiu fell asleep, he quietly walked over, pressed Fengjiu's sleeping point, and carried her back to bed.
The system discovered it, but since this was the target of the young master's strategy and he had no ill intentions, Fengjiu was not woken up.
The two of them fell asleep in each other's arms. When it was almost dawn, Zhao Huaizhi carried her back to the couch, covered her with a quilt, and went out for morning exercise.
Fengjiu slept very comfortably and slept all night long. After waking up, she always felt that something was missing. As sensitive as she was, she could still smell the faint bamboo fragrance of Zhao Huaizhi on her body. Could it be because she slept on his soft couch?
But these details were unimportant. Yesterday, the Queen Mother sent out an invitation. A nation's Queen Mother was coming to visit a mere doctor? Fengjiu had to go and see what this great Buddha was up to.
Out of respect, Fengjiu chose a more dignified light purple soft cloud mist to wear, and specially tied her hair into a simple bun and inserted a few hairpins, making her look like a noble and graceful lady.
The quiet and elegant beauty startled Zhao Huaizhi when he just entered the room. She really had many appearances, but each one was beautiful.
"The Queen Mother has arrived. Wait for me to change my clothes and accompany you there."
Fengjiu didn't expect that Zhao Huaizhi was still in the villa. Doesn't he have to attend the morning court?
What made Fengjiu even more speechless was that when Zhao Huaizhi came out, he also changed into a light purple brocade robe.
For the past two days, this man has been dressed in black, like a giant crow. Has he taken the wrong medicine? "Childish." Fengjiu sneered and walked out first.
Zhao Huaizhi was in a good mood, as these were the clothes that the breeze had brought him this morning. Except for red, Zhao Huaizhi had all the colors that Fengjiu had.
A well-matched couple walked into everyone's sight in such a grand manner. Although the man was sitting in a wheelchair, it did not diminish his momentum at all.
In the hall, the Queen Mother sat in the first seat, the Third Prince and his wife sat on the left, and the middle was filled with gift boxes of various sizes.
Fengjiu raised her eyebrows and followed Zhao Huaizhi into the house.
"Huaizhi pays his respects to the Empress Dowager." Zhao Huaizhi was sitting in a wheelchair and could only bow to the Empress Dowager.
Fengjiu followed suit, bowing slightly, "Greetings, Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother was in a good mood, and her attitude was as amiable as yesterday, no different from the old lady next door. "It's me who has taken over the show. Please sit down and talk."
The Queen Mother saw the relationship between the two young people at a glance. She didn't expect that Zhao Huaizhi would have such an opportunity. A girl like Fengjiu, who has both ability and beauty, should really marry into the royal family to protect herself.
Otherwise, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing.
"Old Nine, you've heard about it too, right? Thanks to Miss Feng yesterday, I and the Third Brother's wife wouldn't have survived otherwise.
I came here today to express my gratitude to Miss Feng. Here is the gift list, all in the hall." The Queen Mother went straight to the point and had the list delivered to Zhao Huaizhi for his review.
