As Ning Yuxi finished speaking, Cheng Zhao, who was following behind her, also paid his respects to the Empress Dowager in a formal manner: "Cheng Zhao also pays his respects to the Empress Dowager."
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran to the Queen Mother, threw himself on her legs and gave her a big hug.
The empress dowager was grinning from ear to ear. The wet nurse following behind Ning Yuxi, holding Cheng Yao and Shu Xun, a brother and sister wrapped like two bear cubs, hurriedly asked the wet nurse to put them down, and scrambled to throw their short legs into the empress dowager's arms.
Seeing this, Ning Yuxi hurriedly warned, "Chengyao and Shuxuan, please stop messing with the Empress Dowager. She can't stand you two naughty brats."
Ning Yuxi was well aware of the destructive power of these two little guys and was afraid that they would go too far.
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother glared at Ning Yuxi and said, "I'm in good health, how can I not stand the noise? I just like them making noise, it makes things lively."
Ning Yuxi could only smile helplessly: "Yes, yes, the Queen Mother is in good health."
The Queen Mother smiled with a hint of pride, as if to say: Of course.
At this time, Aunt Yu beside the Queen Mother smiled and said: "The Queen Mother's health is getting better and better, thanks to the medicinal recipe that Concubine Yi presented to the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager has been feeling much lighter lately, and I've noticed her complexion is much better too. The Imperial Physician came to check her pulse a few days ago and said her condition has improved, and that if she keeps taking the medicine, she'll hopefully recover."
Aunt Yu is always thinking about the Empress Dowager. Now Ning Yuxi's prescription is effective, and the Empress Dowager's health is getting better day by day. Aunt Yu is truly grateful to Ning Yuxi.
Without waiting for Ning Yuxi to respond, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "I am indeed feeling much lighter now. Your prescription is indeed useful, Concubine Yi. However, my complexion is not entirely due to the effect of the prescription.
Those skin care lotions you sent me all day are working really well. I feel like I have fewer wrinkles now."
Which woman doesn't love beauty? The Queen Mother's skin became better and better after using the skin care lotion sent by Ning Yuxi, and her wrinkles became much lighter, so she was naturally happier.
Ning Yuxi smiled. The skin care products she made were all natural and additive-free. The essences extracted from various flowers were naturally useful. When applied externally and adjusted internally with the medicinal recipes, the effect was even more obvious.
As for the medicinal diet recipe, Ning Yuxi knew that her recipe was very useful. As long as she persisted in taking it for two or three years, the gynecological problems of the empress dowager would be cured. It was not surprising to hear the empress dowager say this at this moment.
But she still smiled and said, "As long as it's useful, I'm glad. I hope the Queen Mother lives a long life and that she can help me control those two naughty monkeys, Cheng Yao and Shu Yun."
The two little guys couldn't speak complete sentences yet, they could only call out some simple names, and they kept chattering. When they heard Ning Yuxi say "pihouji", they also shouted: "pihouji, pixieji~"
This caused the empress dowager to burst into laughter again, and she kept saying that if Ning Yuxi Niang and the others stayed any longer, her wrinkles would get deeper.
After chatting and laughing for a while, Cheng Zhao and the two little guys felt a little sleepy. They got up early today and were busy all morning until the early hours of the morning. It was already the beginning of the afternoon, which was also the usual nap time, so it was natural for them to feel sleepy.
It was time for the Empress Dowager to take a nap, so she asked Ning Yuxi to take the little ones back home. Just now, after the banquet, she called Concubine Yi to get close to the children and talk to Concubine Yi.
Secondly, Concubine Yi had taken good care of her body, and the skin care lotions she developed were very useful, so he wanted to reward her privately.
Ning Yuxi instructed the wet nurse to dress the little ones in cloaks and hats, and she also let Luoying and Ruyi tie their cloaks. Just after saying goodbye to the empress dowager, Aunt Yu, who had disappeared for a while, came in with a palace maid.
The palace maids following behind were holding all kinds of precious jewelry, cloths, rare toys and other treasures in their hands.
Ning Yuxi was wondering, and the Queen Mother said, "Don't leave in a hurry. Take these things with you."
Hearing this, Ning Yuxi was slightly surprised. Although the palace was not short of these things, the ones from the empress dowager looked different from ordinary ones and were more precious.
After thinking about it, she realized that the Queen Mother might have seen that her medicinal recipes and her skin care lotions were useful, so she wanted to reward her.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother was heard saying, "Concubine Yi, you have taken good care of my health, so you deserve a reward. These are my rewards for you."
Ning Yuxi's eyes lit up when she saw those things. She was a vulgar person and liked these valuable things.
However, she did all this for the Queen Mother because of the fate with Princess Yincheng. The Queen Mother had always been very kind to her. Later, when there were the Queen Mothers Cheng Zhao and several others, they also loved them very much. She should return the favor.
Secondly, she also wanted to please the Queen Mother so that she would have security in the harem in the future. If she accepted these things this time, she would not be able to ask the Queen Mother for help if she had any problems in the future.
But this is a reward from the Queen Mother, and it would be ungrateful not to accept it.
"This..." Ning Yuxi was hesitating when she saw the Queen Mother smiled and said, "You don't have to be shy. These worldly possessions are worthless. You are a person who suits my tastes very well. You have served me diligently in the past few years.
You have raised Chengzhao and his sister so well, and now you have cured the illness that has troubled me for years. Naturally, I want to reward you, and you are not allowed to refuse! "
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? This is what I, your concubine, should do. I serve you, educate your children, and take care of your health. This is all my duty, but I dare not accept your reward."
"You child..." The Queen Mother looked at her with a fierce face, pretending to be unhappy. "It's your due? Who can do what you should do? I will honor anyone who can do it! If I give it to you, just accept it. If you refuse again, I will be very unhappy."
Ning Yuxi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Since the Queen Mother had said so, she had no choice but to accept it "reluctantly": "Then I thank the Queen Mother."
Seeing this, the Queen Mother smiled again, thinking to herself, she had been with Concubine Yi for so long, how come she couldn't figure out her preferences? She just knew that Concubine Yi liked valuable things.
After a pause, the Queen Mother continued, "I know you are a good child. If you have any problems that you cannot solve in the future, just come to me and I will take care of it for you."
She didn't like the concubines in the harem coming to pay their respects to her because she knew that those people were just trying to please her and take advantage of her for the shade, so she was too lazy to see them.
But after living with Concubine Yi for so long, she initially respected her because she saved her Yin Cheng, then she raised her Cheng Zhao for a period of time, and later it was simply because of her as a person.
