Queen Mother Yin looked at Chu Qianchen quietly.

Although Chu Qianchen's behavior seemed a bit overly attentive, Chu Qianchen's desire to please her was filial piety. A well-behaved and non-troublemaking princess was always better than those picky ones.

There are still 27 days until the wedding date. Maybe I can send a nanny to the mansion to teach her. Queen Mother Yin pondered in her heart.

Chu Qianchen carefully picked up the soup bowl, lowered his eyes to look at the fragrant ginseng tea in the bowl, his nose tip moved slightly again, and the corners of his mouth pursed.

"Empress Dowager, this ginseng soup is still a little hot. Please be careful when you drink it." As she said this, she slowly brought the soup bowl towards Empress Dowager Yin. However, when the soup bowl was brought to Empress Dowager Yin, her hand suddenly shook, and a drop of ginseng soup spilled from the bowl, splashing onto the sleeve of Empress Dowager Yin.

The orange-yellow ginseng soup left two obvious stains on her bluish-white sleeves.

Nanny He's face darkened, and she became more and more displeased with the future Princess Consort of Prince Chen. She was so rash in her dealings with others. It was a good thing that they were in Shouning Palace today. If they were outside, wouldn't people be laughing at the Queen Mother and Prince Chen?

But since the marriage had been granted, Nanny He could only curse the emperor in her heart.

Queen Mother Yin frowned slightly, but did not scold Chu Qianchen. She was about to send Chu Qianchen to wait outside, but Chu Qianchen took the lead and said, "Queen Mother, may I help you change your clothes?"

Chu Qianchen smiled obediently with his lips pursed.

When she wants to please people, her smile is as cute and sweet as it can be, making people unable to refuse her.

Her smile was sincere and her eyes were bright. She thought: Just like the prince said, the Queen Mother is a soft-hearted person!

She is a well-behaved child. Seeing Chu Qianchen's "timid" smile, Queen Mother Yin felt helpless and soft-hearted, so she agreed.

Chu Qianchen diligently helped Queen Mother Yin off the couch, gently squeezed her hand, and said in a gentle voice: "Your servant will serve the Queen Mother."

She was still smiling, a faint smile, and when she raised her eyes, her eyelashes trembled.

In the eyes of others, he looks like a pitiful little boy who is clumsy and afraid of being punished, just like a docile sheep.

"..." Nanny He frowned again, afraid that Chu Qianchen would be clumsy and fail to serve people well, and would end up causing trouble for the Empress Dowager.

However, Queen Mother Yin responded softly.

Queen Mother Yin looked at Chu Qianchen with a subtle look in her eyes. She placed her well-maintained jade hand on hers and said lightly, "Help me in."

She pointed in a direction, and Chu Qianchen carefully helped her to the green gauze cabinet at the back. His movements were slow and leisurely, and he seemed to be a little fearful.

"Madame He, please pick out some clothes for me." Empress Dowager Yin said while giving a wink.

Nanny He had served the Empress Dowager for decades. She was the dowry that the Empress Dowager brought into the palace from the Yin family, so she was naturally the most loyal to her.

She was a little surprised, but went to guard the partition door without saying a word.

Queen Mother Yin sat down on the couch and said softly to Chu Qianchen, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

When Chu Qianchen took her pulse for the first time, Queen Mother Yin thought she was overthinking it. However, this little girl did so many little moves to her one after another, if she still couldn't sense that she was doing it on purpose, she would be stupid.

When Queen Mother Yin looked at Chu Qianchen again at this moment, she was somewhat surprised and doubtful.

Chu Qianchen smiled sweetly, her dark phoenix eyes were like the night sky dotted with stars. That smile was a little cunning and a little smart, like the finishing touch. The girl in front of him was completely different from the docile girl just now.

Queen Mother Yin stared at Chu Qianchen in a daze.

Chu Qianchen smiled and said, "My Lady, please don't use the ginseng tea just now."

Chu Qianchen also knew that Queen Mother Yin would not easily believe him, so he borrowed Gu Jue's name and said, "It was the prince who asked me to take the Queen Mother's pulse."

Queen Mother Yin: “?”

Nanny He: “?”

Queen Dowager Yin and her servant looked at each other in confusion, both feeling that the world had been turned upside down.

Is this still the same honest, timid, submissive, and cowardly girl from before? !

Time was running out, so Chu Qianchen tried to be brief and got straight to the point: "Does the Empress Dowager know the miracle doctor at Jishidiang?"

Although Empress Dowager Yin was in the deep palace and was bedridden from time to time, she had heard that the emperor's eldest grandson Gu Yuanjia went to Jishidiang for medical treatment last month when he was seriously ill. She also tried to ask Nanny He to inquire about the miracle doctor.

However, the news they got was vague. Some people in the palace said that it was a miracle doctor who saved the emperor's eldest grandson, some said that Taoist Xuan Jing's Nine Returning Pills worked, and more people doubted that the miracle doctor, a girl who had not yet reached the age of marriage, could have any extraordinary medical skills...

Not yet of age? Queen Mother Yin's mind moved, and she looked at Chu Qianchen thoughtfully, could it be that...

"I am the miracle doctor of Jishidiang." Chu Qianchen admitted it generously, his smile becoming more and more brilliant.

It was a rare opportunity for her to enter the palace, and this was her only chance to speak to the Queen Mother in private, so she did not play tricks. Her most urgent task was to make the Queen Mother trust her completely.

"Are you a miracle doctor?" Queen Mother Yin murmured, still finding it hard to believe.

The second young lady of the Chu family knows Jue'er privately, and Jue'er also asked her to come to the palace to find her?

Jue'er, what does this mean?!

Queen Dowager Yin's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and ripples began to appear in her heart, which had been like a stagnant pool of water.

She couldn't help but look at Nanny He, who also looked surprised and doubtful, her eyes almost falling out.

Seeing Nanny He's expression, Empress Dowager Yin suddenly calmed down and thought to herself: My ability to judge people is naturally not as good as my son's.

Chu Qianchen added: "There is a problem with the combination of the ginseng tea just now. Two of the medicinal ingredients are incompatible, which will make people feel weak, especially the elderly whose blood circulation is slow. The medicinal properties will stay in the body longer, so the Queen Mother will feel drowsy and often in a trance."

What?! Madam He was so shocked that her handkerchief slipped and fell to the ground.

The Empress Dowager has been in poor health for many years. Although she has no serious illness, her health has been getting worse and worse, especially her energy is easily exhausted. The servants in Shouning Palace played two rounds of mahjong with the Empress Dowager, and she became tired.

Nanny He also suspected that someone might have tampered with the empress dowager's diet, so she sent someone to test for poison, but the young eunuch who did the test turned out to be fine, healthy and full of energy.

Miss Chu Er means that this combination of ginseng tea is only harmful to older people? !

Queen Mother Yin had recovered from the shock of Chu Qianchen knowing Gu Jue, and said calmly, "It's Gu Lang."

Gu Lang is the name of the current emperor.

Chu Qianchen remained silent and did not comment.

This is an obvious thing. In this huge palace, apart from the emperor, who else would dare to attack the empress dowager, and who else would have such great hostility towards the empress dowager!

The Qi dynasty valued filial piety, and Empress Dowager Yin was the successor of the previous emperor. The empress who ascended the throne was the emperor's stepmother. The emperor valued his reputation and wanted to rule the country with filial piety, so he could only take good care of Empress Dowager Yin, but he didn't want her to tell him what to do. So, for him, it was best for Empress Dowager Yin to be sick from time to time, so that when the emperor came to Shouning Palace to visit the sick empress dowager, he could be praised for his filial piety.

Nanny He calmed down and asked anxiously, "Second Miss Chu, the Empress Dowager..."

As she spoke, she carefully looked outside the green gauze cabinet again, fearing that there might be eavesdroppers on the other side of the wall.

Chu Qianchen smiled calmly and calmed the two people, "The Queen Mother's ginseng tea was tampered with this year."

Queen Mother Yin widened her eyes slightly.

She had always had the habit of drinking ginseng tea, and she added some medicinal herbs to the tea. That’s when someone took advantage of her and deliberately made the wrong combination. It had been exactly one year since the emperor ascended the throne.

Chu Qianchen said, "It's fine now. Your Majesty has a good body foundation and has only been taking the medicine for a short time. Apart from feeling tired and dizzy from time to time, there are no other problems for the time being and it won't endanger her life."

"But if you continue to eat it for a long time, it will gradually affect your mental state," she pointed to her temple, "making you have crazy thoughts and even become depressed."

Only then did Nanny He breathe a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.

Chu Qianchen calmed down and said, "After a few days, Your Majesty, please summon me to pay my respects to you again."

After a moment of confusion, Queen Mother Yin slowly reacted.

As she responded, she began to sort out her confused thoughts: Since Chu Qianchen is the legendary miracle doctor, he must have extraordinary medical skills. Seeing her calm and composed look, does that mean that Gu Jue’s injury…

Queen Mother Yin asked tentatively, "Second Miss Chu, how is Jiuxia now..." After a pause, she added, "Jiuxia is Gu Jue's pen name."

Chu Qianchen naturally knew this. The prince’s private seal was engraved with his handwriting, Gu Jiuxia.

"The prince is fine." Chu Qianchen stopped there. It was not convenient for him to tell Queen Mother Yin that Gu Jue was not in the capital.

Anyway, she will cure the prince!

Queen Dowager Yin saw that Chu Qianchen acted as if it was a matter of course, and it was obvious that she had known Gu Jue's handwriting for a long time.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Bang bang bang!

Her heart beat faster, and even her usually cloudy eyes lit up. She whispered, "That's good, that's good..."

Her thoughts were racing: It was obvious that Gu Jue and Chu Qianchen were more than just acquaintances, she also knew his handwriting.

Queen Mother Yin knew a little about her son. Her son had been a child of destiny since he was young. As a prince, he was born noble and intelligent. It was easy for him to learn both literature and martial arts since he was young.

When Xie Wenjing was the Taifu, he once jokingly said that if Gu Jue was not a prince, he would definitely be able to pass the imperial examination and bring honor to the Gu family.

When they were young, Gu Jue had once told her with great enthusiasm that he wanted to take the imperial examination incognito...

Thinking of Jue'er's childhood, Queen Mother Yin felt sad.

Fifteen years old was a watershed for Gu Jue.

At the age of fifteen, Gu Jue went to the battlefield, and since then, he grew up suddenly.

He is no longer the reckless and carefree boy he was in his youth.

He became unpredictable and calculating.

Queen Mother Yin naturally understood that Prince Gu Jue represented not only himself, but also the entire Northern Army, and the burden he carried was too heavy.

He was the child she was proud of.

Her son was by no means a man who would allow others to control him, nor was he a coward, but he had never shown up since the imperial decree of marriage was issued. The only time he responded was to have the chief historian of the palace come to the Golden Palace.

All this is really not like Gu Jue's style.

Queen Mother Yin gazed deeply at Chu Qianchen, who was only a few feet away from her.

so--

The emperor's decree of marriage was most likely what Gu Jue wanted, or even what Gu Jue pushed for secretly. And the emperor still foolishly thought he had schemed against Gu Jue.

When this thought came to her mind, Queen Mother Yin suddenly felt that many things could be explained, and her eyes became different from before.

Kind, gentle, happy, and with a bit of interest like an elder looking at a younger person.

This child is quite interesting. According to the information I have inquired about, she is obviously cowardly and mediocre, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Although she is a concubine's daughter, Gu Jue has always been very picky. The one he likes must not be an ordinary concubine's daughter, but must have something extraordinary.

Just from her medical skills, we can tell that this child knows how to hide her talents, and she is just a little girl of only fourteen years old.

She is a little young, but as long as Jue'er likes her, that's good. In another year, the child will be of age!

Jue'er is injured, so he should take time to recover this year. Queen Mother Yin's thoughts were scattered, and the more she thought about it, the further she went.

Chu Qianchen always felt that the look in Queen Mother Yin's eyes when she looked at him was particularly loving, and there was an indescribable feeling in it, and he blinked inexplicably.

Queen Mother Yin cleared her throat and said, "You have to drink this ginseng tea."

Chu Qianchen understood what the Queen Mother meant, nodded, and then changed the subject: "Your Majesty, I have another unwelcome request. I would like to ask for a Nanny."

Chu Qianchen smiled playfully, "I am young and don't know anything. Can Your Majesty give me someone?"

Queen Mother Yin's eyes became softer, her smile deepened, and a few friendly smile lines appeared at the corners of her eyes.

This child is indeed smart and knows how to act like a spoiled child.

Children who know how to act coquettishly will get candies. Besides, she is so beautiful. The children she will have with Jue'er in the future will definitely be smart, pretty, and know how to act coquettishly, and will be extremely lovable.

Empress Dowager Yin seemed to see a cute little baby calling her "Imperial Grandmother", which made her heart melt.

She suddenly seemed to have taken some panacea, her spirits lifted, and she agreed immediately.

Her good mood was also reflected in her words and actions. She asked Madam He to find her that goose yellow jacket, thinking that this color would make her look a little better and make her look more approachable.

Afterwards, Chu Qianchen and Nanny He helped Empress Dowager Yin change her clothes. Her movements were light and agile, which was very different from her clumsy and cautious look when she moved the soup bowl. Both Empress Dowager Yin and Nanny He sighed in their hearts and occasionally exchanged understanding glances with each other.

This is indeed a smart little girl!

Queen Mother Yin actually still had many questions in her mind. She wanted to ask Chu Qianchen how he knew Gu Jue and how serious Gu Jue's injury was. But now was obviously not a good time to talk. She was afraid that if they talked in private for too long, it would arouse suspicion and ruin Gu Jue's plans.

Never mind. There will always be a chance in the future, Queen Mother Yin thought.

She was in a good mood. After putting on the jade pendant on her waist, she also gave Chu Qianchen a white jade ring engraved with a phoenix, thinking that she would give her son another ring engraved with a phoenix in a few days.

After Queen Mother Yin changed into new clothes, she left the green gauze cabinet.

Chu Qianchen half lowered his head and followed behind Queen Mother Yin like a shadow. He walked like a willow swaying in the wind, occasionally looking forward timidly, as if he was afraid of being blamed by the Queen Mother.

The fragile girl is like a delicate flower in the spring breeze, trembling and charming.

Queen Mother Yin sat down on the beauty couch by the window, her slender eyebrows slightly furrowed, looking quite displeased.

A plump maid in her forties came over with a soup bowl and asked with a smile, "Empress Dowager, this ginseng tea is still warm. It's just the right temperature. Do you want to drink it now, or should I take it down and heat it up for you?"

Empress Dowager Yin pointed at the coffee table and signaled the nanny to put down the soup bowl.

"You are so impetuous, you don't look like a future princess at all," Queen Mother Yin scooped a spoonful of ginseng soup with her orchid finger, then put the spoon down as if she had thought of something, muttering, "The divorce period is less than a month away."

After she put down the spoon, she pointed at the nanny with her right hand, "Nanny Yan, you go with Miss Chu to the Yongding Marquis's Mansion and teach her the rules!"

Nanny Yan: “…”

Her pupils shrank slightly and her hands subconsciously clenched the handkerchief.
