Chapter 662 Fairy
In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, news came that the emperor had appointed a crown prince.
The one who was enthroned was Ming Fei's son.
The child was less than ten years old, but he had already been made the crown prince.
He even overwhelmed all the princes born to noble ladies in the dynasty.
Because of this incident, Qi Yixiu also sent someone to send congratulatory gifts.
Before, Qi Yan was the crown prince and the country was also given to him.
However, because Ming Fei was from the Chao Kingdom, the gift was doubled.
Rongning also sent some things back. Actually, she didn't have much, she just sent them back to let her mother know that she was fine.
The weather was cold, and the queen was in a hurry to go to the queen mother.
The Queen Mother is ill again.
As people age, they are bound to suffer from illnesses and disasters. The Queen Mother is in particularly poor health this year.
Itβs not a serious illness, I just feel uncomfortable every once in a while.
It happened to be winter now, and the Thirteenth Prince could not live without the imperial physician for a single day.
These two generations of grandparents and grandchildren saw the imperial physician every day, and the entire Ci'an Palace was filled with the smell of medicine.
This year, the Thirteenth Prince has to learn to drink medicine himself.
It's also miserable.
He is obviously a two-year-old child, but he looks like a one-year-old.
When the Queen came, she saw that the Queen Mother did not look well. She asked the imperial physician carefully and was relieved to learn that it was not too serious.
After a while, the concubines and nine imperial concubines arrived, but the queen said that the imperial concubines and beauties below did not need to come.
Normally, everyone should be tending to the Empress Dowager.
But the Queen Mother exempted me from this.
The first person that comes to mind is Concubine Jing.
Concubine Jing herself is not well yet. If she is ignored and asked to take care of her, it will be bad for her reputation.
If we don't skip her, she might fall ill after serving us for half a day, which would not be nice.
The Queen Mother simply didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she gave the excuse.
It would be enough if the queen came.
Instead, Shen Chuliu suggested that the second and third princes' wives should also take turns coming.
There are also the eldest princess and the second princess.
The Queen Mother agreed, so these few people have been going in and out of the palace in the past few days.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was much better, everyone looked relieved.
"You all sit down. It's cold today. Serve them some hypoglycemic tea to warm them up." The Queen Mother waved her hand.
Soon, the whole room was filled with the smell of ginger sugar tea, but it wasn't unpleasant at all.
Mixed with the previous medicinal smell, it somehow feels pretty good.
"Did you see any outstanding girls when Yi'er held a flower-viewing banquet before?" asked the Queen Mother.
The second princess smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, many of them are good. They are good-looking, well-educated and well-mannered. After the selection next year, I guess we will be able to have wives for all of them."
"That's good, it's time to make a decision. I don't know how long I can live, it will be great to see the prince's wedding." The Queen Mother sighed.
"Look at what you said, you will have to witness the Thirteenth Prince's wedding, right?" The Second Princess said with a smile.
"Alas, that child...is sick all day long." The Queen Mother shook her head.
"Don't worry, grandma. I think Thirteenth Brother seems to be much better. He eats more now." said the eldest princess.
She had seen it last year as well, and at that time the Thirteenth Prince seemed to be about to die.
"It is better than before. After all, the fetus is not strong enough and it is difficult to nourish it." Concubine Ning said.
"Yes, the problem during pregnancy does require a long time to be corrected." He Zhaoyi said.
The Queen Mother snorted, "It's really that Mei Xiuyi is no good. She ruined a good child."
The Queen Mother now just can't stand Mei Xiuyi.
Mei Xiuyi didn't come today and is under house arrest.
"I hate to see my children unhealthy. Alas..." The older I get, the more I can't stand it.
The children born to Han and Yi Chongyuan were both unhealthy and were not raised.
Now even the Thirteenth Prince cannot say that he can be supported.
How could she not worry?
I've been raising it for more than a year and I've started to develop feelings for it.
"It gets better day by day," said the Queen.
The Queen Mother nodded, this was quite pertinent.
Every day he could survive meant he could get through one more day, and after he turned three, he would be much better.
As they were talking, the emperor and the prince arrived.
Everyone hurried to greet him.
The emperor raised his hand to exempt him.
After questioning the Queen Mother, we sat down and talked.
"This ginger sugar tea tastes really strong. Don't give it to me. I'll just drink some tea." Qi Yixiu waved his hand.
"Then please have some tea, father. I think this is good and can warm your body." Qi Yan said with a smile.
"These father and son have different tastes." The Queen Mother laughed.
"Yan'er is just a child, greedy and playful." Shen Chuliu smiled.
"Let him be greedy. His father is still young, so he can be greedy and play for a few years. Alas, this boy will be a bad person when he grows up. When the emperor was young, he was also greedy, but he just refused to say it. Sometimes I don't figure it out, and he will be uncomfortable." The Queen Mother laughed.
The emperor was a little embarrassed: "My son doesn't remember these."
Everyone smiled.
The Queen said, "Yan'er has a good and genuine personality. He doesn't have to be rigid just because he is the Crown Prince. He should just enjoy eating and having fun, and not be delayed in his work. It would be meaningless for him to become an old scholar at such a young age."
"Yes, that makes sense." The Queen Mother nodded with a smile.
The Queen Mother sighed inwardly, thinking that children who have good food and fun are those who are protected by someone.
When she was still Princess Li, how could Qi Yixiu enjoy such good food and fun without being disliked?
Today, Qi Yan lives his life as he pleases, but Qi Yixiu back then had to be careful about being harmed, plotted against, and angering others.
Noticing that the Queen Mother was distracted, the Queen took the initiative to mention that the Queen Mother was also tired today, so why not take a good rest?
The emperor then stood up and took everyone away.
The Queen Mother is indeed old and in poor health.
She had a hard life when she was young and was assassinated many times, leaving her body with serious injuries.
Although I have been taking care of myself, the older I get, the more problems I have.
Naturally, things are getting worse.
The imperial physician has already told Qi Yixiu to take good care of himself.
Although he didn't say anything else, Qi Yixiu knew that the Queen Mother was old after all...
Everyone went back. Qi Yan did not follow Shen Chuliu. He followed the emperor.
There is still something else.
The emperor now taught him a lot of things, so in addition to studying every day, he also had a lot to read and learn.
Shen Chuliu returned to Yufu Palace and sat on the warm couch, breathing a sigh of relief: "It's still more comfortable here. The Queen Mother's place is too hot."
It was not just too hot. At first, the smell of ginger tea and medicine was pleasant, but after a while it was stuffy and gave me a headache. Especially in winter, concubines all wore perfume, and the mixture was not noticeable at first, but after a while it was suffocating.
There are only some fresh flowers here at Shen Chuliu's place, and the fragrance is barely noticeable.
It smells very good.
Shen Chuliu specially asked someone to bring rose scented water, and dripped a few drops on her wrist, which soon spread out. A faint fragrance filled her whole body.
So she fell asleep in this fragrance.
When Qi Yan finished his work and came to have dinner, he saw Shen Chuliu just woke up.
So I smiled and said, "My son thought it was a rose fairy from somewhere."
Shen Chuliu raised her eyelids and said, "Get out of the way. Fairy doesn't like people like you. You're too young. Fairy likes people like your father."
