An Zhongtao was not a fool, how could he not know what they were thinking? But if he didn't let them learn, it would be very disadvantageous to him and Shen Biyun if it got out, so he nodded and said, "Okay, it's a rare opportunity for you guys to be so motivated, it's a good thing that you just want to learn, if anyone gives up halfway, don't blame me for being rude."
The four concubines groaned in their hearts, but could only grit their teeth and nod.
Shen Biyun looked at Lian Jinrong's smiling face and felt so angry in her heart. She had finally come up with this clever idea that would allow her to get close to the general openly and legitimately, but they came to interfere. It would be really hard for her to practice martial arts from now on.
She was too embarrassed to say anything to the general in front of them, not to mention that her cousin might not allow her to do so.
An Qingran in the palace had no idea that the General's Mansion was so bustling. She had been serving the Queen personally, decocting medicine, feeding her, giving acupuncture, and taking care of her, because Queen Yun would suffer from phlegm syndrome from time to time, and if she was not taken care of in time, it would lead to phlegm syncope.
Queen Yun watched An Qingran busying around, not only did she not complain, but most importantly, her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, as if everything she did was what she should do.
The prince has been busy these days and has not come over. An Qingran doesn't know whether her cousin has received her letter. She is really helpless about the queen's illness. If this continues, she will collapse first.
Of course, she knew that besides the prince, her father could also deliver her letters, but she was worried that her cousin would be unable to do anything about it. So she would be in a difficult situation, and she didn't know how Concubine Shu would deal with her.
An Qingran pulled out the silver needles, disinfected them one by one, wiped them with a dry cloth and put them back into the bag. She did all this meticulously. Queen Yun had been observing her and found that she was really rare and beautiful. In her opinion, she was better than the three most famous beauties in the capital. Her beauty was not too ostentatious. When she was quiet, she was extremely elegant. And when she was inserting needles and administering medicine, it was definitely a different scene. She had personality, was generous and calm. In short, she liked her no matter how she looked at her.
"The prince was very naughty when he was a child..." She suddenly spoke and scared An Qingran, who looked at her in confusion with doubts in her eyes.
Yes, An Qingran didn’t understand why the queen suddenly mentioned the prince.
"Don't blame me. There's not much left for me to worry about. The only thing that worries me is the prince. He has been naughty since he was a child and stubborn when he grew up. He sneaks out from time to time. I don't even know what he does all day..." Queen Yun sighed.
"The prince is very smart. He must know what he is doing." An Qingran continued.
"Yes, he has always been very smart. I remember that year when he was only five years old, his father gave him a task to recite the "Encouragement to Study" and said that he would be tested the next morning. But before his father even left the house, he had recited it by heart, which made his father happy. He thought I had taught him before, but that was really not the case. He just has a photographic memory." When Queen Yun said this, there was a smile on her face, and that smile was of pride.
She is proud of her son.
An Qingran thought that if her son could be like the prince, she would be proud too.
"However, this child is very stubborn. One time, he found that things in the palace were always flowing into the public, and some of them were things that had just entered the national treasury. He was only thirteen years old at that time, but he was determined to investigate this matter. He didn't sleep in the middle of the night... For a month in a row, he didn't even rest when it snowed. Originally, I thought that such a thing should not be handled by a child like him. It would be better to tell the emperor or I would send someone to investigate. But he insisted on investigating it himself, saying that there was no evidence, which made it inconvenient for his father to handle it. In the end, he really solved the case... I think it might be because of my physical condition, so he didn't want me to worry, and it forced him to mature so early. It was all my fault."
"Your Highness, you can't say that... maybe it's because of you that he matured early. But if you think about it from another perspective, this is also beneficial to his growth. So now the prince knows how to handle things and his mind is unfathomable. There are definitely benefits and no harm."
"Oh, what you said makes me feel warm inside. From now on, his body will be handed over to you." Queen Yun brought up the old matter again.
"As long as I can do it, I will not be stingy. Moreover, the Crown Prince saved my life, and I have no way to repay him."
Queen Yun nodded slowly, "I feel relieved when you say that."
It sounded like she was confessing something. An Qingran felt a little sour in her heart. She really always remembered the Queen and the Prince's life-saving grace in her heart. Without them, she would have died with hatred in this life.
But she didn't think about anything else.
At this time, Concubine Shu came and said, "I pay my respects to the Empress."
She remained respectful.
Having seen so many fights in the palace, An Qingran no longer really believes in the love between sisters. Even if she is her own sister, she would still harm her, right?
If you want to stay away from trouble, just stay away from the palace.
Her prejudice was hers, but she still bowed to Concubine Shu.
"Please sit down. You come here every day and are so polite every day. We are sisters. After so many years, you are still the same." Queen Yun said with a faint smile.
"It's as we should. No matter how many years you have been sisters, the rules of the palace cannot be abolished. Do you feel better today, sister?" Concubine Shu said with concern.
"Well, I feel better." said Queen Yun.
"Yes, it seems that sister's complexion is indeed better... Miss An is really good at it. When I heard the rumors in the market, I didn't dare to believe it. I was just thinking that I was afraid of missing out again. Now I try it, and it turns out to be the right thing." Concubine Shu was a little proud.
She did the best job in this matter. If she could cure the disease, she would be credited with the achievement. If she couldn't, she would put all the blame on An Qingran. She actually got rid of this little girl.
"You do have some abilities, but I'm afraid even the gods can't cure my illness." The queen sighed, "The palace has been very peaceful recently. I think even if I die, I can close my eyes. I'm relieved that the emperor has you to serve him."
"Sister, please stop saying that. Everyone in the world knows that the emperor loves you the most. No one can replace you in his heart."
"No one is irreplaceable." Queen Yun's expression changed slightly, "No one in this world is the same."
Concubine Shu was actually unable to continue for a moment, because Empress Yun was so smart, how could she not hear the perfunctory tone in other people's words? Yes, everything she said now was perfunctory.
So, Concubine Shu just sat there and sighed sadly.
No one spoke for a while and the room was very quiet.
