Who can't play a frustrating game?
Before long, Green Ivy returned with a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. She wrote down a prescription and said to Chuchun, "Go and decoct the medicine yourself. You must find a way to get Consort Hao to drink it. As for whether the child can be saved, it all depends on fate." The child is also pitiful, having encountered such a mother. I wonder what sins this child committed in his/her past life.
She spoke softly, so only a few people in early spring could hear her. As for Zhang Chu, she couldn't hear her. She was still shaken. How could Consort Hao know about Empress Yide's affairs? Could there still be survivors from back then? What was the Emperor's attitude? She had to think of a good way to deal with it. Why were the marks those five years left on the Empress Dowager and the Emperor so hard to erase?
With something on his mind, he didn't have time to talk to Zhao Shu much. He curtsied and then turned to enter Fengxin Palace.
Zhao Shu was puzzled by her absent-mindedness.
Just then, Tang Gang came over carrying a large kite. "Princess, the kite is here."
Zhao Shu turned her head and saw that it was indeed the kite she had seen earlier. The words on it were still clearly visible: 'Wouldn't it make you happier if someone tried to make you laugh?'

The boy was quite bold. He wasn't intimidated by Xiao Guozi's fine clothes and rich attire, which made him look like someone from a wealthy family. He sized up Xiao Guozi with his fearless eyes.
Helpless, Xiao Guozi took out a few copper coins and handed them to him, "Can you tell me now?"
The boy grinned, stuffed the copper coin into his pocket, but thought it wasn't enough. He shook his head and looked at Xiao Guozi again.
Xiao Guozi got angry and grabbed the boy's hand with great force. The boy cried out in pain and begged for mercy, "I'll talk, I'll talk! It was an older brother who said we could fly kites here, and whoever could fly a kite would give us five taels of silver each."
"I'm asking you, who flew that biggest kite?" Xiao Guozi held his hand tightly.
The boy also had a temper; he didn't let go after answering, but he was also flexible and continued to answer: "It was that older brother who put it down."
