When I came out of the imperial study, it was already dark.
When the emperor learned about the bad things Wu Youjin had done over the years, he was very angry.
If Jiang Li hadn't been here, I'm afraid my headache would come back again.
Finally, Gu Qingchen received a secret order asking him to thoroughly investigate the hiding of Wu Youjin. Jiang Li knew that this New Year would probably be very busy.
"Greetings to the Imperial Uncle and the Imperial Aunt."
It happened that the Ninth Princess returned to the palace to pay her respects. She heard the news of Jiang Li's return to the capital from the palace maids, and waited outside the imperial study early.
After paying her respects, Gu Yuyan moved closer to Jiang Li and said, "Aunt Huang, I missed you so much."
The little girl had lost a lot of weight, but she had actually grown a bit taller. Jiang Li felt a little envious.
"The herbal medicine shop's business is getting better day by day. Now people from other places want to discuss cooperation. Master Yin Tian said that he will make a decision after you come back."
Xiaojiu took the initiative to report his recent achievements one by one.
After not seeing each other for such a long time, Xiaojiu had a lot to say to Jiang Li, but the emperor's uncle was always looking at her coldly, which made her so anxious that she didn't know where to start.
"Uncle, aren't you busy?"
Although she was very scared, Gu Yuyan thought for a moment and finally spoke.
"If you have something to do, I can accompany Aunt Huang to visit Grandmother Huang."
"No rush." Gu Qingchen took Jiang Li's hand and said, "I'm afraid the Queen Mother will be waiting anxiously. Let's go over quickly."
Gu Yuyan: ...
She had reason to suspect that the emperor's uncle had long wanted to hold hands with the emperor's aunt and that was why he felt that she was an eyesore.
"I heard you were coming a long time ago. Hurry up, have someone bring up dinner."
As soon as she saw Jiang Li, the Queen Mother waved to her and said, "Come here quickly so I can see you. How come you've lost so much weight?"
After saying that, he glared at Gu Qingchen.
"You little bastard, next time you need to do something, just go by yourself and don't bother us, A-Li."
I haven't seen you for a few months, and I always feel that the palace is much quieter.
Gu Yuyan nodded quickly.
The Empress Dowager is right, the Emperor’s uncle is so annoying!
Seeing Gu Qingchen being scolded, Jiang Li didn't want to say that she wanted to go out of the capital for a stroll, so she said, "This time I'm going out to find something to detoxify the prince. I must go, so it's not the prince's fault."
Hearing this, the queen mother's expression softened. "This kid is lucky. Thank you for your hard work, A-Li."
Knowing the reason for their departure, the Queen Mother was still a little worried, "Chen'er's illness..."
Jiang Li said softly, "Don't worry, mother. This trip out of the capital has yielded fruitful results. It won't be long before the cold poison in the prince's body is completely cured."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qingchen took Jiang Li's shoulder and brought her to the dining table. He then said to the Queen Mother, "However, the person who poisoned her has not been caught yet. This matter must remain confidential."
The Queen Mother was surprised, and then her eyes turned red.
She nodded while shedding tears, saying, "I understand, I understand. That's great, that's great."
With Jiang Li's guarantee, she no longer had anything to worry about.
And after this trip, she always felt that the relationship between the two had obviously improved a lot. If this continued, it would not be long before she could hold her little grandson again.
Therefore, after dinner was over, the Queen Mother asked someone to take out a lot of things from her private storehouse to reward Jiang Li.
Everyone only heard that on the day Princess Jingling returned to Beijing after her outing, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager both gave her generous rewards, which shows how much honor and favor she received.
So within two days, Jiang Li received a bunch of invitations, all of which were to banquets that noble ladies were vying to attend.
However, the woman that everyone wanted to please was sleeping soundly in the palace these days.
"Knock-knock—"
Bai Zhi listened to the noise in the room and then pushed the door open.
"The prince said he's been too busy lately and can't accompany the princess out. If the princess feels bored, she can go for a stroll." Bai Zhi paused. "The prince also said that if the princess sees something she likes, she can buy it. The palace has money, so you don't need to save it for him."
Jiang Li was a little dazed while sleeping.
Seeing the maids rushing in with various breakfasts, he looked at Bai Zhi in confusion.
"The prince was worried that the princess would be hungry when she woke up, so he asked the servants to watch over her so that she could eat something immediately after getting up to avoid stomach upset."
Jiang Li: ...
Is this man crazy?
"I used to think that the prince was a heartless person, but I didn't expect that he would dote on the princess so much after getting married."
The smile on Baizhi's lips never disappeared.
The prince was so busy these days that he was almost nowhere to be seen. Knowing that the princess wanted to rest in the mansion for a few days, he would occasionally have people find various small things and send them back to the mansion to entertain the princess.
When the master is pampered, the servants will naturally be happy.
As for Jiang Li, after washing up with Bai Zhi's help, she half-paralyzed in the chair, wanting only to curse that man to death.
Ever since the two of them broke the window paper, Jiang Li said that they should get along as a couple first. That way, when the time is right, they can have a formal wedding night.
Afterwards, Jiang Li explained to Gu Qingchen what it meant to be in love. After that, the man would show off whenever he got the chance, even going so far as to kiss and hug her… Although she admitted that she had taken the initiative, he was indeed too good at it.
Shaking her head, Jiang Li buried her blushing face in her hands. No, no, if she continues like this, she will become love-brained!
People who are in love don’t deserve to be rich!
Jiang Li kept brainwashing herself.
"Go to the herbal medicine shop."
Jiang Li stood up and left as soon as he said that.
She wants to build a career and make money!
"Now?" Bai Zhi was stunned.
"Well, now."
Although the herbal medicine shop has bought the storefront next to it, it is still packed and the waiting list has to last a month.
