What, innocent and cute?

Yan Shu immediately became interested and asked, [How did the Queen Mother grow from an innocent and cute girl to a top-level palace fighting boss?]

System, [This has to start from the beginning. The Queen Mother was born into a famous family. She was dignified and gentle since childhood. After she came of age, countless princes and sons of the capital wanted to marry her. Once, when she accompanied her parents to the palace to attend a banquet, she was favored by Emperor Gaozu at first sight and was betrothed to the late emperor on the spot.]

[A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl was a blank slate at that time. Once the marriage decree was issued, she was completely devoted to the late emperor, and after the marriage, she was even more devoted to her husband. She sewed his clothes and shoes, accompanied him to read by lamplight at night, and made soup and snacks for him. In the beginning, the two of them were loving and supportive, and could be described as tender and affectionate. The late emperor even said that he only wanted her as a woman.

Hearing this, Yan Shu couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Sure enough, all the scumbags said such things. It's weird to believe him. If there was only one woman, how did the emperor come?

Sure enough, the system said again, "After waiting for her husband to ascend the throne, she also became the empress. The good days are gone. The late emperor began to recruit concubines. The gap between the past and the present was too big, and there were all kinds of intrigues in the harem. The empress dowager was unhappy. In addition, she had to take care of the harem. Although she got pregnant with difficulty, the child was not raised well and was born weak and sickly. 】

【Later, other concubines gave birth to two girls and one boy. Among them, Concubine Shu was greedy and even used a poisonous scheme to murder her legitimate son, trying to replace him with her own son. However, when she found out, it was too late. The already weak child contracted tuberculosis and died not long after. From then on, the empress dowager finally woke up after being heartbroken. She quickly killed her enemies, began to develop connections in the court, and adopted the emperor. Later, when the previous emperor died, she supported the emperor to the throne, and she finally became the empress dowager. 】

Yan Shu couldn't help but sigh in her heart, 【After going through blood and tears, she finally grew up to be a big boss. The empress dowager is really a heroine! Especially in that environment, she was able to cultivate the emperor so outstandingly, which was really not easy. 】

Yuwen Lan, who was listening quietly at the side, raised his eyebrows. He was indeed very good.

But she sighed again, [But this bloody storm is really terrible. I'd rather be a salted fish and eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day and have money. 】

Yuwen Lan, "..."

So this is what "salted fish" means?

In this way, she is indeed very salty.

But she was heard thinking in her heart, [So, the late emperor had four children before the emperor, but now there are only two left, him and the eldest princess. Then except for the eldest prince who died young, the remaining two... Could it be that the queen mother did it? 】

Yuwen Lan was stunned.

To be honest, he had thought about this problem.

But after being the mother and son of the queen mother for many years, he knew that although the queen mother was deep-minded, she didn't seem like someone who could do anything to a child.

System, [You're overthinking it. The Queen Mother was just taking revenge on the adults. She never did anything to the children. The two children were implicated by that bad Concubine Shu and contracted tuberculosis together.]

Yan Shu understood, [It turned out that it wasn't the Queen Mother. Tsk, Concubine Shu poisoned the eldest prince and ended up killing her own child. She really deserved it.]

[But to be honest, the Queen Mother also contributed to the fact that the Emperor is still alive today. Otherwise, if the Queen Mother hadn't adopted him, he would probably be the same as his brothers and sisters.]

Yuwen Lan heard this and felt complicated.

Indeed, the late emperor had more harems than now, and the bloody storms were indeed much more intense than now.

If the eldest brother hadn't died early and the Queen Mother had adopted him, he would most likely have died with his biological mother.

Therefore, he always remembered the Queen Mother's kindness in raising him, and did not want to do many things too harshly.

At this moment, Yan Shu sighed in her heart again, "It's a pity that the Queen Mother, who is so smart and intelligent, met a scumbag like the late emperor. If the other party is a steadfast and loyal man, she should be very happy."

Yuwen Lan's eyebrows jumped.

This girl actually called the late emperor a scumbag?

However...

to the Queen Mother and even his own biological mother, the late emperor was indeed not a good husband.

Especially later, the late emperor was obsessed with practicing Taoism and refining elixirs, and he didn't care about his only surviving son. It seems that he is not a good father.

He sighed silently.

The system is still telling Yan Shu, "In fact, the Queen Mother did meet someone she liked later. There was a time when the late emperor was obsessed with cultivating himself and almost ignored state affairs. The empress dowager was helped by a group of ministers to handle state affairs. Among them was a great scholar of Zhongji Palace who had unique insights and wisdom, and was deeply admired by the empress dowager. 】

Hey, there is a story here!

Yan Shu's eyes lit up immediately, [Could it be that the empress dowager and this great scholar of Zhongji Palace have sparked a love affair? 】

Yuwen Lan, "???"

Great scholar of Zhongji Palace?

Empress dowager?

Spark of love? ? ?

What does this mean?

System, [It's a bit regrettable, before the spark was rubbed off, the late emperor had already become suspicious, and the great scholar took the initiative to resign and go home in order to protect the empress dowager. 】

Yan Shu, [??? Huh? 】

This is too regrettable! ! !

Just imagine, if the Queen Mother could have a spark of love with this Grand Secretary, and then something uncontrollable happened...

Tsk tsk tsk, what a shocking and extraordinary love story this would be!!!

Humph, since the scumbag is in front, it's okay to be cuckolded.

Yuwen Lan, "???"

What, it's okay to be cuckolded???

And a love story???

This girl...

But who is the Grand Secretary she is talking about?

At this moment, she was heard thinking in her heart, [But think about it, this Grand Secretary has been promoted to the Grand Secretary of Zhongji Palace, that's the Prime Minister!!! He actually resigned and went home for the Queen Mother, which shows that he really loves the Queen Mother! ]

Grand Secretary of Zhongji Palace?

Resign?

Well, Yuwen Lan probably knew who it was.

That person was called Qi Shuguang, and he was indeed a very talented person. He had taught him in the past, and he became the Prime Minister at a young age, but later he suddenly resigned and went home...

Could it be...

that person really had an affair with the Queen Mother...

He glanced at the Queen Mother quietly, but saw that her face, which was always dignified, had no other expression.

In his heart, there was no other voice except the surprise that he asked someone to write a storybook.

Looking at Yan Shu again, he saw that she had her eyes downcast and looked well-behaved. In his heart, he was still thinking, [I have an inspiration! I will write a story of a strange love in the past life when I go back, and fulfill the Queen Mother’s wish in the storybook.]

Yuwen Lan, "???"

This storybook cannot be published even if it is written!

He just told the Queen Mother that this was the storybook he asked someone to write!!!

~~

Yuwen Lan was so confused while eating this snack.

Fortunately, not long after, the chief eunuch of the Imperial Household Department suddenly came to report that an official from the Qianming Palace wanted to see him.

If he was pardoned, he hurriedly took Yan Shu and the Queen Mother to say goodbye and leave.

The Yu chariot was waiting outside the door. Yuwen Lan said to Yan Shu, "Get in the car, I will take you a ride." But

Yan Shu said, "I am not in a hurry, please go first, Your Majesty."

The first month of the year was finally over. The weather was warm and the Yu Garden was full of spring scenery. She was planning to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

It was not good to make the ministers wait anxiously, so Yuwen Lan had to say, "You don't have to rush to write the story after you go back. If you are tired, take a rest."

In short...

don't write the late emperor as a scumbag who is despised by everyone...

at least give him some face.

But these words could not be said.

Yan Shu replied unconsciously, and after he got on the Yu chariot and left, she leisurely walked in the palace.

After walking around outside for half an hour, Yan Shu returned to Ganlu Palace. After

changing her clothes, she was about to start writing a storybook, but just as she started writing, she suddenly felt uncomfortable.

At first, her neck was itchy, and she scratched it a few times, but unexpectedly, her eyes also started to itch.

Before she could rub her eyes again, she suddenly sneezed, and sneezed five or six times in a row.

Ren Dong was startled, and hurriedly touched her forehead, and asked anxiously, "Master, did you catch a cold outside just now?"

Yan Shu shook her head blankly, "No, it was quite warm just now..."

Before she finished speaking, she sneezed twice more.

When she finished, her eyes also became swollen.

She finally realized something was wrong and hurriedly said, "Go and invite Doctor Yu."

...

Yuwen Lan was in Yu's study, busy until the lights were turned on.

Seeing that the ministers had finally dispersed, Fu Hai dared to step forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to serve dinner."

Yuwen Lan groaned and asked casually, "Has Concubine Yi been used?"

If not, why not set up Ganlu Hall and eat with her.

Unexpectedly, Fu Hai frowned and said, "I heard that Concubine Yi felt a little uncomfortable this afternoon, so she shouldn't be used yet..."

What?

Before he finished speaking, Yuwen Lan immediately asked, "What happened to Concubine Yi?"

Fu Hai was frightened and said hurriedly, "I don't know the details, but I saw Doctor Yu go to Ganlu Palace in the afternoon, so I asked him casually. Doctor Yu said that it was Concubine Yi who told me."

Yuwen Lan frowned, "Why didn't you report it to me earlier about what happened in the afternoon?"

Fu Hai said with a look of grievance, "I wanted to tell you, but you were busy and had no time..."

Yuwen Lan paused.

Yes, just now the ministers of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works came to report on spring planting and the construction of water conservancy and dredging canals, and he himself was so busy that he almost didn't even have time to drink. So

he didn't pursue it any further, just said, "Prepare the sedan chair, I'll go over to take a look."

Then he got up and went out.

As the sedan chair was rolling, Yuwen Lan was thinking all the way, since Yan Shu felt uncomfortable after returning from Ci'an Palace, could it be that the snacks given by the Queen Mother were poisoned?

- Unlikely.

Not to mention that Yan Shu had supernatural powers, he was also beside the Queen Mother at that time, and he did not find that the Queen Mother had any intention of harming her.

What was going on?

When he saw the place, he immediately got off the car and ran straight to the palace, but saw that Yan Shu had a red nose, tears, and a little swollen eyes.

Seeing him coming, she hurriedly wanted to salute, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you..."

Before she finished speaking, she sneezed three times in a row.

He hurriedly said, "No need to be polite, sit down quickly."

As he said that, he saw Doctor Yu in the hall, so he asked Doctor Yu, "What's wrong with Concubine Yi?"

But Doctor Yu frowned and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yi's symptoms look like a cold, but her pulse is not."

Yan Shu pinched her nose and said, "I don't have a cold, I don't know why I suddenly started sneezing... It's a bit like the peach blossoms are dissatisfied."

Doctor Yu said, "The peach blossoms haven't bloomed yet."

That's right, although it's spring now, it's still some time before the peach blossoms bloom.

In addition, Yan Shu had just asked the system to confirm that no one was harming her, so she was also puzzled now.

Originally, she wanted to ask Doctor Yu to take a look, but Doctor Yu took her pulse for a long time and couldn't figure out what was going on.

But before she finished speaking, Fu Hai said, "I heard that two peach trees bloomed over the Taiye Lake today. Could it be that the wind blew over there?"

Yan Shu was stunned. "Peach trees bloomed over the Taiye Lake?"

Fu Hai nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I just heard them say that this morning."

Yan Shu paused, and then she realized.

That's right, the weather has been warm these days and the east wind is blowing. The Taiye Lake is just to the east of the Yu Garden. She must have been exposed to peach blossom powder blown by the wind when she was walking in the Yu Garden in the afternoon.

The doctor Yu heard this and said, "I will prescribe a prescription for the queen." But he

muttered in his heart that he had seen many people who were dissatisfied with Liu Xu, but this was the first time he saw someone who was dissatisfied with peach blossoms.

Yu Wenlan's eyebrows jumped when he heard this.

First time?

How could he prescribe medicine with such medical skills?

He thought for a moment and asked Fu Hai, "What was the name of the doctor who treated Lord Cheng'en at the sacrifice last time?"

Fu Hai thought for a moment and said hurriedly, "Jiang Nianqi."

"It's him,"

Yuwen Lan said, "Call him to see Concubine Yi."

Fu Hai hurriedly agreed and immediately went outside the palace to call a quick eunuch to go to the pharmacy to find someone.

Fortunately, the pharmacy was not off duty at this time, and soon, Doctor Jiang hurried over.

Oh, by the way, since he dared to speak out at the sacrifice last time, the emperor promoted him two levels, and now he is a medical officer.

"Your Majesty , I am here

to see you." Doctor Jiang bowed, but before he could stand up, he heard the king order, "Go and see Concubine Yi, what's wrong with her?"

Doctor Jiang agreed, and immediately went to Yan Shu's side,

first asked about her symptoms, then checked her eyes and nose, and finally checked her pulse for a while. He quickly made a judgment, saying, "Your Majesty, this is a disease of dissatisfaction. What do you usually dissatisfy with? Peach blossoms? Willow catkins? Or apricot blossoms?" He

could tell it right away.

Yuwen Lan also had a clue, and answered for Yan Shu, "Concubine Yi is dissatisfied with peach blossoms, do you have any way to relieve it?"

Jiang Nianqi immediately said, "Yes, I will prescribe a prescription for your Majesty."

As he said that, he picked up the pen and wrote on the paper. After

the prescription was written, Rendong immediately asked Xiao Dongzi to get the medicine and boil it.

The doctor Jiang gave a packet of herbs to Ren Dong separately, saying, "Use these boiled water to bathe the queen, it can relieve the symptoms."

Ren Dong immediately took it and did as he was told.

When the bath water was ready, Yan Shu also went to take a bath.

Not to mention, when she came out a quarter of an hour later, her eyes were no longer swollen or itchy, and her nose was unblocked.

After drinking the boiled medicine and waiting for another quarter of an hour, the symptoms were gone.

Everyone was convinced, and Yuwen Lan nodded and said to Jiang Nianqi, "You are indeed a great doctor, but it is a waste of your talent to ask you to be a medical officer. From now on, I will promote you to be a doctor, and you will serve Ganlu Palace exclusively in the future." Jiang Nianqi

knelt down and said, "Thank you for your command."

He was promoted four levels in a short period of time, and everyone looked at him with envy.

However, he still looked calm and unperturbed.

Yan Shu thought he was a talented person.

But Fu Hai asked Yuwen Lan, "It's getting late. Concubine Yi seems to be feeling better. What would Your Majesty like to eat? You haven't had dinner yet."

Yan Shu looked at him in surprise and said, "Your Majesty hasn't had dinner yet? I'm fine now. You can go back and eat first."

Yuwen Lan sat there without moving and just asked her, "Have you eaten?"

Yan Shu shook her head, "No, I didn't feel well in the afternoon and didn't have time to eat."

But he said, "Then ask the kitchen to make something and I'll eat with you."

Well, that's fine.

Yan Shu felt better and was feeling a little hungry, so she nodded in agreement.

Not long after, the kitchen brought the midnight snack.

There were four dishes: pickled cabbage with vinegar, lotus root cubes with eight treasures, tofu in a pot, and pork tenderloin, as well as two bowls of porridge.

It was already late, so it was not suitable to eat fish and meat. Besides, Yan Shu had just taken medicine and could not eat too much meat, so the dishes were mainly vegetarian.

However, Yu's cooking skills were superb, and the vegetarian dishes were also cooked with relish.

After eating, Yuwen Lan ordered again, "Prepare water, I want to take a bath."

Yan Shu looked at him in surprise, "Your Majesty, you want to rest here tonight?"

But he nodded, "Yes."

Yan Shu was dumbfounded, "But I am sick."

Yuwen Lan smiled, "Don't worry, I won't bother you."

He paused and raised his eyebrows at her, "Unless you go into my arms yourself."

What? She went into his arms?

Yan Shu was speechless, "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that I will pass on your illness to you?"

He didn't take it seriously at all, "You won't pass on this disease to others."

Yan Shu, "..."

She was convinced, why did this man like to sleep with others so much?

Yuwen Lan said in his heart.

Yes, he was very reluctant to go back to Qianming Palace to sleep alone.

Because once he went back to sleep alone, it wouldn't work there.

The bedroom in Qianming Palace seemed like a curse, so weird, he was a little scared.

So no matter how she complained, he didn't care.

Anyway, he just liked to squeeze this bed with her.

~~

A night passed, and nothing happened.

When Yan Shu woke up, Yuwen Lan had already gone to court.

The medicine last night was very effective, she slept well all night, and she didn't feel uncomfortable anymore.

But she still didn't dare to take it lightly, and didn't dare to go out for a while.

——You know, the east wind is still blowing outside. If you go out, you will definitely get sick from the peach pollen.

Oh, the hard days have begun again.

Fortunately, the kitchen sent a rich breakfast, which gave her some comfort.

Well, the delicious and juicy steamed buns and the sweet pumpkin porridge are a perfect match, and the pearl glutinous rice meatballs are her favorite.

Just as she was eating with relish, she saw Lianxin running to her and said, "My master, the emperor just ordered people to dig up the two peach trees beside the Taiye Lake."

"Digging up?"

Yan Shu was stunned, "Why did the emperor dig up the two trees?"

Lianxin smiled, "It's because he was afraid that the queen would feel uncomfortable again, so the emperor ordered people to move them away. It is said that the two trees are decades old."

Yan Shu was speechless when she heard this.

Tsk, the last man who was so nice to her was her father.

When she was a child, her father cut down the old peach tree in the yard for the first time and discussed with the neighbors to replace the peach trees with apricot trees and pear trees.

It was the first time that her father would not bother others easily.

And now, the man who cut down the peach tree for her has become the emperor. She

felt a little warm in her heart.

She took a bite of the lotus seed cake.

Hmm, the sweetness spread from her mouth to her heart.

Honeysuckle smiled and said, "Your Majesty really cares about the master, but now only two peach trees are in bloom. What if peach trees in other places bloom in a few days?"

Yan Shu was stunned.

Yes, do we have to cut down all the peach trees in the palace? What 's more,

there are also peach trees outside the palace. When the wind blows, won't they blow into the palace?

You can't ask all the people in the city to cut down the peach trees and never eat peaches again, right?

The peach trees are innocent!!!

No, although she was moved, this was not an option... Just

as she was thinking about it, she saw the doctor Jiang Yu from last night coming to the door and said, "I'll take the pulse of the queen."

Her eyes lit up and she hurriedly said, "Please come in, I have a question to ask."

Doctor Jiang Yu agreed and walked into the palace with his medical box.

Yan Shu tried to ask him, "Doctor, is there any way to make me no longer dissatisfied with peach blossoms in the future?" She

originally planned to just give it a try, but she didn't expect the other party to nod and say, "Yes, there is, but it depends on whether the queen can endure the hardship."

Yan Shu was stunned and asked, "How to endure the hardship?"

Doctor Jiang Yu said, "To cure this disease, it is actually to make the queen's body accept peach blossom powder without an overreaction. I will let the queen contact with an appropriate amount of peach blossom powder every day, and take medicine at the same time. Keep doing this for a while until the queen's body adapts, and she will no longer be dissatisfied with peach blossoms in the future."

Yan Shu thought about it, and simply gritted her teeth and said, "Okay."

It's better to try than not to try. If it is really cured, she won't have to be afraid of peach blossoms in the future, right?

It's a good way to get rid of it once and for all.

So she started her healing journey.

Every day, Dr. Jiang Yu would prepare a very small amount of peach blossom powder for her to hold in her mouth for a while, and then drink the decoction.

In this way, the amount of decoction was reduced day by day, but the amount of peach blossom powder was increased.

Sure enough, after seven or eight days, when the peach blossoms outside were blooming one after another, her reaction was much milder than in previous years.

~~

However, the family members outside the palace did not know about this. Seeing that the peach blossoms were blooming in large numbers again, Li's parents and grandmother were very worried about her.

On this day, with the emperor's permission, Zhu finally had the opportunity to enter the palace to visit the concubine.

As soon as they met, Zhu took out a packet of pills and said to Yan Shu, "This is what mother bought from a doctor in our hometown. It is said that it is specially used to treat your peach blossom disease. Would you like to try it?"

Yan Shu smiled and said, "No need. There is a particularly powerful doctor in the palace. I used his method and now I'm almost well."

Then she instructed her mother, "This doctor is probably deceiving you. The medicine will only be effective if it is suitable for the disease. Everyone's body is different. He didn't even check my pulse, so how could he prescribe medicine? Don't be fooled again in the future."

Zhu nodded and said with a smile, "I will never be fooled like this again, it's a waste of money."

Yan Shu noticed that her mother seemed a little tired in her smile.

So she hurriedly asked, "Is everything okay at home? Did something happen?"

Zhu said, "Nothing, everything is fine."

Yan Shu didn't believe it, so she quietly asked the system, [Did something happen at my home?]

System, [Yes, your brother Li Tianrui was bullied at Songhe Academy two days ago. He punched the other person twice in return. Unexpectedly, the headmaster there took sides and asked your brother to apologize to the other person.]

Yan Shu, [??? Isn't Songhe Academy known as the best academy in Beijing with excellent academic atmosphere? How could such a dark thing happen?]

The system snorted, [That was many years ago. Songhe Academy was originally founded by two great scholars and cultivated many excellent talents. It was indeed the best in those days. But later it became famous, and seeing the princes and nobles rushing to send their children there, those uneducated children of officials gradually corrupted the atmosphere, and now it has become a world of the powerful. 】

Yan Shu, "..."

If she had known this, she would not have asked her brother to go in. I thought it was a good academy!

But...

she was puzzled.

——I am now a concubine, as a member of my mother's family, how can my brother be bullied?

But I heard the system say again, [Don't you know your father's temper? He didn't want to cause trouble for you, so when he sent your brother to the hospital, he didn't reveal his identity, so everyone thought your brother was just a commoner. 】

Yan Shu understood, but was still angry, [Even so, they shouldn't bully people for no reason! Do commoners deserve to be bullied by them and can't fight back? The headmaster actually asked Tianrui to apologize? What the hell!】

System,【It's really nothing. The headmaster appears to be well-educated, but he is actually profit-driven. He has done so many evil things for fame in his life. In order to climb to the position of headmaster, he even sent his wife to the bed of a court official.】

Yan Shu,【???】

Tsk, interesting, he came to the door by himself!
