Chapter 1768 Getting Old Very Fast

Su Xuan was too lazy to look at her son, so she snorted and stopped asking questions. She turned around and went to find her mother-in-law to worship Buddha together.

Mingjia couldn't follow, so he could only find a pavilion to sit down. He didn't have the heart to look at the distant scenery, and his mind couldn't help but drift away. Miss He met his expectations of a wife.

He likes bright and generous girls, who are smart but not showing off, and who are good at socializing but not too radical. And if she suits his aesthetic looks, he feels like this is the girl for him!

Zhulan saw Su Xuan walking in with a smile on her face. There was no sign of anger towards her son on Su Xuan's face. She knew her son very well. This boy took after his father!

The old lady of the He family noticed it and chanted "Amitabha" in her mouth. It is too hard for women. Who doesn't want to have a husband who is devoted to them? Si Shi is blessed!

In the back hill, Yu Wen joked, "Your face is still red after being blown by the wind all the way."

He Sishi patted her cheek and said, "It's sunny today."

Yuwen: "Hehe."

He Sishi's face became even more flushed with panic, "The county lord is teasing me."

Yuwen blinked her eyes, "What did I tease you about?"

He Sishi wilted. It was still unclear what she had imagined. Young Master Zhou Mingjia was what she had imagined. She glanced at the county lord who was walking away and hurriedly followed him. She wanted to ask about something, but she was confused. She didn't see anything in the scenery and was only concerned about the confusion.

Both families were satisfied with each other, but there was no rush. Su Xuan insisted on waiting for Changzhi to come back. The fourth room had only two children, and marrying off the only son had different meanings, so they had to wait until the autumn examination was over.

Zhulan returned home and found out that Jiang Ling was here today, but unfortunately she was out. The provincial examination was over and Shao Xun was going to take part in the academy examination.

Zhulan asked Li, "Is there anything else?"

Li said, "The Concubine Chen sent some manuscripts over and asked you to take a look. The Concubine is waiting for your reply."

Bamboo orchid, "."

Her image as the number one fan cannot be destroyed!

Back in the main courtyard, Zhulan changed her clothes and picked up the manuscript. She found something wrong at first glance. This was not the writing style of Concubine Chen. She raised her eyebrows and turned to the last page. It was indeed written by Miss Jiao.

This girl has a lot of ideas, and they are very bold. At the same time, congratulations to Miss Jiao for catching the eye of Concubine Chen. Last time, the Concubine directly bought the story, and this time she sent the story to her, obviously wanting to cultivate Miss Jiao.

Yuwen didn't go back to watch the story together, "What a surprise."

She is such a lovely girl, but she has such a bloody mind!

Zhulan, "You're going to write your review and comments?"

Yu Wen stood up and said, "Grandma, I walked a lot today. I will go back to rest first."

Zhulan stretched out her fat hand and grabbed her granddaughter's sleeve. "You don't need to write with your feet."

Yuwen, "."

So why did she stay? She should have followed her mother back to the yard!

In Hexian County, Chuanzhou, Chang Zhi specially booked a private room in a restaurant. He had been in Hexian for a few days and had been asking about the eldest son of the second branch of the An family. This minor official who was plotting against others had not done any official work in recent years, but he was a good at making money.

The people next door have already arrived, the county magistrate and the young master of the An family. The two of them hold He County in their hands and have never thought that anyone would dare to eavesdrop on their conversation.

The county magistrate asked, "You are still so young, and your elders have gone to Beijing to become officials. It's a pity for you to want to be an official."

An Ao knew his own strengths and weaknesses, "I am very lucky to have succeeded."

The county lord's eyes were deep, and he said with a smile: "A small official also has his advantages, drinking."

Changzhi narrowed his eyes, haha, success was not luck, but the result of planning!

The people next door were drinking and talking about the county's political affairs. It was a pity that the money for repairing the reservoir could not be used. Last year's purge made them scared.

Changzhi and the others left, and he stood up and said, "Let's leave Hexian."

The servant said, "Yes."

Changzhi went all the way to Hexian and was delayed for quite some time. He went to secretly visit the students on the list. He felt heavy in his heart. Seeing the real person had a great impact on him, even though he had paved the way to Chuanzhou.

The servant returned to the carriage and asked, "Sir, what about He County?"

"We already know what we need to know. We should not make any surprises."

"yes."

Chang Zhi closed his eyes and rested. He had been angry before, but now he was no longer angry and his mind was empty. He thought quietly about many things.

The servant suddenly asked, "Sir, the provincial examination is over. Do you want to go and see the imperial examination?"

Changzhi: "No."

The servant felt it was a pity and also knew that the master would have to secretly visit many people, so he said nothing more.

The next morning at court, Zhou Shuren wondered why the Emperor was in a bad mood today, and even the Crown Prince was very depressed. He carefully recalled what big event had happened. After going through them one by one, Zhou Shuren frowned. There was nothing big happening in the court recently.

During the morning court session, Zhou Shuren noticed that Lord Wen looked anxious, and he immediately realized that something had happened to the Queen.

They were all smart people, and they had noticed it to some extent, and they quickly left as if it had nothing to do with them.

The Emperor and the Crown Prince came to the Empress's bedroom as soon as they finished their court session. The Emperor asked the Head of the Court, "Is the Empress all right?"

There was sweat on the head of the court, "Old minister."

The emperor's face was gloomy. "I absolve you of all guilt."

The head of the hospital was relieved when he heard this, and this time he said without hesitation, "The queen has caught a very serious cold this time. I have already prescribed medicine, and the queen will wake up soon."

The Emperor motioned for the Crown Prince to go in and take a look. "Go on."

The head of the hospital lowered his head and said, "The Empress has always been in poor health. It has not been easy to recuperate over the years. All the efforts before this illness have been in vain. It will be even more difficult to recover in the future."

The emperor closed his eyes and no longer asked about the queen's life span. He waved his hand and said, "You personally watch over the boiling of the medicine."

The head of the hospital knew that his life was saved, and he said, "Yes."

The queen woke up very quickly. This time she had a premonition that she might not live long. "Your Majesty, you are here."

The emperor frowned, "Why did you suddenly fall ill?"

The empress did not expect to fall ill after enjoying the spring rain. "I am sorry to have made the emperor worried."

The emperor sighed, "I hope you are well."

The queen also wanted to live longer. She saw herself through the emperor's eyes and her raised hand froze. How could she have aged so much? Looking closely at the emperor, the emperor who held great power, the emperor in his prime, mature and healthy, in contrast, she had aged very quickly in these years.

The queen waited for the emperor and his son to leave, motioned for the mirror to be brought over, and reached out to touch her face, "My skin is losing its luster."

The female official said, "My lady, it will be fine once you recover from your illness."

The queen chuckled and said, "Don't comfort me. I know it clearly in my heart."

The female official was very uneasy. The silent queen in front of her made her a little scared. "Your Majesty, you must take care of yourself. The fourth prince and the princess need you."

The Queen signaled the lady-in-waiting to take the mirror away and said, "Bring it here when the medicine is ready."

She closed her eyes after saying this, and only the Queen herself knew what she was thinking!

This time the Queen's illness was not hidden, and Zhulan learned the news that day.

Li said, "If you don't know, you might think it's causing trouble for the Second Prince's wedding!"
