Chapter 450 For an Orange
Nanny Jin was watching nearby and was shocked.
"Princess, what's wrong with this thread? Is it a problem if your finger touches it?"
"It's okay, I'll check it out. But there shouldn't be this practice of applying something to silk threads in the palace, right?"
Fu Zhaoning asked clearly first.
"No, I have never heard of it."
"Then did this forehead ornament get wet before? Did it fall into some oil?"
"No, the Queen Mother loved it when the Fifth Princess sent it to her. Before going to bed, I took it down and put it on the dressing table myself. It was well kept and no one dared to touch it."
Nanny Jin thought about it and went to ask the palace maids again.
The palace maids all said they dared not touch the empress dowager's things.
"I need to check this thread quietly by myself. Should I go over there?" Fu Zhaoning pointed to the side hall outside.
"Princess, please."
Fu Zhaoning went to the side hall alone.
She needs to test it with the equipment in the pharmaceutical warehouse.
"Your Majesty."
The voice of a palace maid asking for greetings came from outside. Nanny Jin was talking to the Queen Mother, and when she heard the voice, she hurriedly said, "Is it Prince Jun who is here? Prince Jun really values the Princess, so he must have hurried to find her after hearing that the Princess was here."
Although the Queen Mother had just been diagnosed with poisoning, she felt more relieved when she heard Fu Zhaoning say that there was no danger for the time being and that she could cure it.
She laughed when she heard that. "I really didn't expect that Yuan would care about someone so much. It's really great."
It's much better than his previous cold-heartedness.
"Queen Mother, Prince Jun has arrived."
"Let him in."
Xiao Lanyuan was still carried in.
The Queen Mother was originally pleased with his changes, but now she couldn't help but sigh when she saw his face and his legs.
This child has suffered so much.
After finally having a girl by his side whom he cared so much about, his appearance was ruined and his legs were disabled.
"Is Zhaoning here?" Xiao Lanyuan asked about Fu Zhaoning as soon as he came in.
After he came out of the hall, he heard that Fu Zhaoning was called away by the Queen. He felt a little worried. He was about to go find the Queen, but then he heard that the Queen Mother sent Nanny Jin to take her away, so he hurried over.
"Here, I'm afraid that she will be wronged by the Queen, so I asked Nanny Jin to invite her over." The Queen Mother felt a little sad.
After all, Xiao Lanyuan was still a little wary when he asked this. Was he wondering if Fu Zhaoning was suffering or being wronged by her?
"The Queen Mother..." Xiao Lanyuan glanced at her, "Does she want to repair her relationship with me?"
The Queen Mother paused.
He said it so bluntly that she didn't know how to respond and felt a little embarrassed.
"Xiao Lanyuan!"
Just then Fu Zhaoning ran in.
Xiao Lanyuan could sense some excitement in her words. What did Fu Zhaoning discover?
"Slow down. You must be hungry since you haven't had breakfast yet. What if you fall down because your legs are too weak due to hunger?" Xiao Lanyuan said this to remind Fu Zhaoning not to say anything here, and at the same time to say something to the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother was indeed regretful. "I didn't expect that Zhaoning hadn't even had breakfast yet, and I kept her busy. Quick, serve the meal."
Fu Zhaoning was indeed hungry, so she had just secretly eaten a piece of bread in the pharmacy.
Fortunately, all the things in her pharmacy that she brought with her during the time travel would be automatically replenished when they were used up, and the original quantity would always be maintained.
She used to keep some bread, biscuits, duck necks, melon seeds, etc. in the pharmacy, as well as some milk and functional drinks, which she could sneak a bite of from time to time.
Only those things can make her miss the modern times again.
But when she was with Xiao Lanyuan, she didn't dare to eat too much. After all, it still had a smell, and she had to rinse her mouth after eating to prevent him from smelling it.
The Queen Mother's people quickly prepared the meal.
A maid whispered, "Originally, there was a silver thread soft cake that the Queen Mother likes to eat today, but I don't know why the imperial kitchen didn't send it. Queen Mother, I will go ask again."
The Queen Mother was about to say no, but Xiao Lanyuan had already spoken.
"Silver silk cake? I ate it."
He then said to Fu Zhaoning, "I left a few pieces for you. Go back and heat them up before eating. However, I also asked the imperial chef to make some more so that we can take them with us when we leave the palace. They are all the most delicious for the palace maids."
Fu Zhaoning: “…”
She remembered the plate of snacks he had taken away before going to court.
It turns out that the Queen Mother is also in there.
So, among those snacks, there might be some that the emperor and empress would like to eat for breakfast today?
"A Yuan, do you like it? Then I'll have someone make more." The Queen Mother was very happy even though she had nothing to eat.
"No."
Xiao Lanyuan placed his palm lightly on his stomach and looked at Fu Zhaoning with a little grievance, "Ningning, do you have any medicine to help digestion? I ate too much in the Golden Palace."
"puff."
Fu Zhaoning couldn't help laughing out loud.
He must be the only one who ate too much in the Golden Palace, right?
"Orange, there are still a few orange slices left, you can eat them," she said.
Nanny Jin quickly brought the orange over. "The princess brought it from the emperor."
"Ning Tianju? Ningning was able to get this from the stingy Queen. She's really amazing." Xiao Lanyuan immediately praised her.
Well, she is indeed worthy of being the woman that Xiao Lanyuan has chosen. She is so special.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh.
"I guess there won't be many Ningtian oranges sent to Beijing this year, and I don't have any here." She sighed.
"Ningning likes it?"
Xiao Lanyuan ate an orange, deep in thought.
"Mm, it's delicious."
"Then I'll ask the emperor to send some." Xiao Lanyuan signaled the guards to lift him up, "You have breakfast first."
Fu Zhaoning was stunned. "You're not going to go to the emperor to ask for oranges, are you?"
The Empress Dowager doesn’t have it here, so how can the Emperor give it to him?
Even if I can give it to her, isn't it a bit of an overreaction to ask for a few oranges just for her?
"I'll be right back."
Xiao Lanyuan had already left.
The Queen Mother did not expect Xiao Lanyuan to act so recklessly now, and could not help but look at Fu Zhaoning deeply.
"Zhao Ning, A Yuan treats you very well."
"It's okay." Fu Zhaoning only responded with this while eating.
That may be a good thing, but when she is angry, he can really make her angry to death. This man is like the sea, sometimes calm, sometimes turbulent and unpredictable.
But she didn't want to say so much to the Queen Mother.
It’s still unknown whether she and Xiao Lanyuan will be together until the end.
When she finished eating, Xiao Lanyuan came back, and he actually brought a basket of oranges, which seemed to weigh about ten kilograms.
“That’s all we have left,” he said.
"You got them all?" Fu Zhaoning was stunned.
"Well, if there's not enough food, I'll have someone transport it from the south?"
Nanny Jin smacked her lips.
Do you know how much manpower and money it takes to transport it once? Just because Princess Juan wants to eat it, do you have to transport it from thousands of miles away?
Fu Zhaoning was also a little surprised.
She could see that if she really said she wanted it, Xiao Lanyuan would do what he said.
