the next day.

Murong Shu went to the Zhenshan Palace to check the health of the two children. Princess Ning Ran took the children to her own yard and took care of them personally. When Murong Shu arrived, Ning Ran and the wet nurse were playing with the children.

"Princess, Madam Wen is here!" the servant came in to report.

"Please bring Shu'er in!" The princess handed the child to the wet nurse and hurried out to greet her.

"Hello, Aunt Ning." Murong Shu didn't expect that the princess would come to greet him personally.

"Good boy, get up quickly. Why are you here so early? Have you had breakfast?" Ning Ran pulled Murong Shu enthusiastically, worried that Murong Shu came early and had no time to have breakfast.

"Aunt Ning, Shu'er has already had breakfast. Her husband has gone to court. Shu'er has nothing to do in the mansion, so she came to see her brothers early."

Murong Shu took Ning Ran's arm and walked into the house together. They had a very good relationship and Ning Ran really loved Murong Shu.

"Then come in and have a rest. You can have lunch at Aunt Ning's place. Fresh milk has just been delivered to the farm today. Aunt Ning will ask the kitchen to prepare it right away."

All the cooks in the palace knew how to cook. Murong Shu had taught them before. And now that the two children were well again, Ning Ran was in a particularly good mood.

"Where is my second sister-in-law?" Murong Shu didn't see Jun Mingyue and thought that she and her second brother had already returned home.

"She's probably staying in bed again today. I'll send someone to call her right away." The princess explained to Murong Shu with a smile.

"Aunt Ning, let my second sister-in-law sleep a little longer. She has been busy recently. I'll go see my brothers first." Murong Shu stopped Ning Ran from asking someone to call Jun Mingyue. Jun Mingyue was indeed scared by the cowpox incident.

Mingche and Mingyuan were the children that the Zhenshan Palace had with great difficulty. If anything happened to them, the consequences would be disastrous. Jun Mingyue couldn't eat or sleep for the past few days, and she only relaxed after her younger brothers recovered.

"Only the Mu family spoils her. Look at which daughter-in-law has such freedom as her." The princess' eyes were full of smiles. She was happiest that her daughter had married well.

"And Shu'er's mother-in-law and sister-in-law are both the best. Aunt Ning will definitely be the mother-in-law in the future." Murong Shu did not forget to praise the people of the Wen family.

"That's right. Your mother-in-law is a good person. Your eldest and second sisters-in-law are also kind. The most important thing is that Ziyu is favored. You are benefiting from Ziyu's influence." Ning Ran patted Murong Shu's hand and joked with her.

"Then Aunt Ning should be even more relieved. My second brother is also favored!" Murong Shu's answer made both of them laugh.

"Mother, Shu'er, what are you talking about? Who is favored?"

As soon as the two finished talking, Jun Mingyue walked in from outside.

"Shu'er, you're here!" Jun Mingyue was very happy to see Murong Shu.

"Who can be like you!" The princess gently tapped her daughter's forehead, her eyes full of doting.

"I accidentally overslept today. I will promise to get up early tomorrow. Mother, please don't blame your daughter." Jun Mingyue acted coquettishly with Ning Ran like she used to.

"You are still thinking about tomorrow. Your son-in-law will come again today. Go back to the mansion with him." The princess asked her daughter to go back to the general's mansion first.

"I understand, mother. I will go back with my husband today. I will be relieved now that my brothers are well." Jun Mingyue had originally planned to go back to the general's mansion with Mu Siqing today.

While they were talking, Murong Shu had already taken the pulse of the two children and found they were recovering well. The princess and Jun Mingyue were completely relieved.

Jun Mingyue originally wanted to let Murong Shu go to her yard to play for a while, but the empress dowager's oral order arrived first, asking Murong Shu to enter the palace.

Originally, the people from the palace went to the Wen Mansion, but Murong Shu came to the Zhenshan Palace, and the people from the palace followed him to the Zhenshan Palace.

"Princess, Madam Wen, Princess, the Queen Mother asked me to bring Madam Wen to the palace. The Queen Mother misses Madam Wen." The palace servant who came to deliver the oral message carefully conveyed the Queen Mother's words.

"Shu'er will follow eunuch to the palace now." The matters at Zhenshan Palace were also finished, so it was a good opportunity for her to go to the palace to check the Empress Dowager's pulse and see if she should change the prescription.

"Thank you, Madam Wen." Murong Shu was kind, and the palace servants were also relaxed. If they couldn't invite Murong Shu back, they would have no way to report.

"Mother, let me go with Shu'er. I haven't seen the Royal Grandmother for a long time." When Jun Mingyue heard that Murong Shu was going to the palace, she wanted to go too.

"Go ahead. You haven't paid your respects to your grandmother since you came back from Haicheng. It's a good opportunity for you to go with Shu'er." The princess has been busy with her children recently and has not been to the palace, so it's a good opportunity for her daughter to go.

"Don't worry, mother. The Empress Dowager won't blame Yue'er." Jun Mingyue was speaking the truth. The Empress Dowager loved her the most. She would only be happier if she went to the palace. How could she bear to be angry with her?

"You just rely on your royal grandmother's love for you. Okay, go quickly. Your royal grandmother will definitely keep you in the palace for lunch, so your mother won't leave any food for you." The princess looked at the time and guessed that they would have to have lunch in the palace.

"I understand, mother. Shu'er and I will go to the palace to see the Empress Dowager first. Thank you for taking care of my brothers. If I see my father, ask him to return home earlier." Jun Mingyue's last sentence was a joke to the princess.

"Hurry up and get going! Your father hasn't been to court for so many days. It's a rare occasion that he goes today. You mustn't cause trouble, or your uncle will cry to you."

The princess thought about how she had finally managed to get her husband to attend court today, and she was troubled by the fact that her daughter was still causing trouble. She quickly urged her to leave. Neither this father nor this daughter was a worry.

In the palace at this time.

The Queen Mother knew that her eldest son was coming to court today, so she asked the palace maids to call Prince Zhenshan over when the court was over.

The Queen Mother was relieved only after she learned from King Zhenshan that her grandson had recovered.

The following time was the time for Prince Zhenshan to complain, mainly because he didn't want to go to court. The Queen Mother drank tea and didn't even look at him. The nanny beside her wanted to laugh. The prince still didn't understand his position in the Queen Mother's heart.

The Queen Mother called him here because she wanted to know about the young master's situation, not to listen to his complaints.

King Zhenshan talked for a long time but the Queen Mother paid no attention to him, so she tactfully shut up.

"Empress Dowager, Madam Wen, Princess Mingyue, and Miss Yueyue are here." The little palace maid came in to report.

When the Queen Mother heard that several people had arrived, her eyes lit up and she said to King Zhenshan, "Hurry up and go to work. I am still busy here, so I won't keep you here."

"Mother, I'm not particularly busy. Why don't I stay here and chat with you?" Prince Zhenshan didn't want to leave at all, but the Queen Mother didn't give him a chance.

"Hurry up and send the prince out, and then invite them in. It's so hot outside, don't get too hot. And ask the imperial kitchen to send some delicious cakes."

The Queen Mother was happily making arrangements, completely different from the calm way she was drinking tea in front of King Zhenshan just now.

Prince Zhenshan was sad. His mother no longer loved him. He had been crying for so long since he came in, but his mother had not served him any tea. Now her daughters had just arrived, but she had even arranged for them to be served with cakes. It was too biased.
