To prevent any complications, Song Qi and Gu Wu left that night.
Not long after they left the city, the midnight snack was ready at the palace.
The food in the palace was indeed incomparable to that outside. Song Wan had never tasted much of it.
Especially the braised pig's trotters. I don't know how the chef made it, it's so delicious.
Song Wan ate two of them before she felt her stomach was satisfied.
To be honest, sometimes Gu Yan was really worried that she would overeat. She didn't know if it would be uncomfortable for her to have so much food in her small stomach.
But seeing her eating happily, he always felt a strange sense of satisfaction in his heart.
Although Concubine Rou did not follow them to the North Courtyard, she did not rest immediately in her own courtyard. She had someone prepare midnight snack for her.
I don’t know what they like to eat, so I prepared a lot of each flavor.
As soon as he heard that their problems were almost solved, he asked the servants to put the midnight snack in the yard. The weather was getting warmer in June, and the food would not cool down for a while, which was perfect for eating slowly.
"And there's sweet pumpkin soup." Concubine Rou personally filled a bowl for Song Wan and said with a smile, "Ah Wan, take your time, there's no rush."
Song Wan lowered her head and took a big sip. "This sweet soup is good."
Yun Zhuo's appetite was piqued by her eating, so he also filled half a bowl and drank from it, saying in agreement, "The chef in the palace is indeed very skilled."
Tiffany Rou could see that the little girl liked eating meat and sweets very much.
There was a large table of food, and the things she touched the most were the sweet soup and pastries, as well as the various meats.
Life in Qiandi must be difficult. Concubine Rou gradually felt distressed, and her eyes towards Song Wan became more loving. "Since you are here, you can stay in the palace for a few more days. There are many delicious and fun places in Yizhou. I will let Lin'er accompany you to visit when the time comes."
It was just right that she could take advantage of these few days to prepare more silver, cloth and furs. She heard that the winter in Guizhou was particularly cold, so she could prepare more high-quality furs.
Song Wan, completely unaware that she was being misunderstood, thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll talk about it after I find my second brother."
Fun and delicious things subconsciously attracted her, but Song Wan felt that since she had news about her second brother, she should find him first.
Thinking of the chubby baby she had been eating since she was born, Song Wan became more determined to help her find her father.
Concubine Rou agreed, "We need to find your second brother first. If we need anyone, just tell Lin'er. There are still a few reliable people in the palace who can be used."
Gu Yan hurriedly thanked Song Wan, who was too busy chewing a chicken leg to reply, "Thank you, Queen Dowager, for your kindness."
Concubine Rou said, "Lin'er and I are weak, so we can't help much. I wonder how your brother is doing now? My brother gave me a ginseng a while ago. I'll take it back to your brother to nourish him."
He had no good medicine to treat the illness he brought back from the battlefield, so he must have had a very hard time this past year.
"Oh, by the way, when I came to Yizhou this time, the Empress Dowager openly rewarded me with a lot of precious medicinal herbs. Tomorrow I will ask the court doctor to check if it has been contaminated with any poison. If they are all good, you can take them back with you." Concubine Rou recalled carefully, fearing that she had missed anything.
When Yun Zhuo heard Concubine Rou say, "Check if there is any poison," he almost spit out the sweet soup in his mouth.
The concubines who came out of this palace all spoke so directly.
Song Wan felt that the way Prince Yi's mother spoke was very much to her liking, and she liked people who were straightforward.
Gu Yanji was very grateful that someone still remembered his elder brother's illness. It seemed that his elder brother had not misjudged the person. A son raised by a mother like Concubine Rou could not be a bad person.
He stood up and bowed to Concubine Rou. "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. However, my elder brother has recovered from his illness now. It would be a waste if he used such a good herb now."
Concubine Rou asked in surprise, "Is your elder brother's illness cured?"
Gu Yan nodded anxiously, "Yes, it's fine now. I can still go up the mountain and shoot a few wild animals from time to time."
Concubine Rou clenched her hands, extremely excited, "That's great, your sister-in-law should be relieved."
Gu Yan's anxious sister-in-law, Yan, is somewhat related to Concubine Rou. Yan's grandmother and Concubine Rou's aunt are sisters.
"By the way, how was your eldest brother's illness cured? Why did the imperial doctors in the capital say there was no way?" Concubine Rou couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Prince Xiang and Prince Yu were behind this?
"I was the one who cured Brother Gu Yanji's illness. I'm much better than the imperial physician." After Song Wan finished eating the chicken leg, she finally had time to speak.
Concubine Rou was a little confused. She looked at Gu Yan anxiously, "Ah Wan, are you serious?"
Gu Yanji's eyes fell gently on Song Wan's face, and he said in a soft tone, "Yes, it was indeed Awan who cured my eldest brother's illness. Not only that, my father and Uncle Song were also cured by Awan."
Surprise is no longer enough to describe her feelings at the moment. Concubine Rou looked at Song Wan with a more serious look, and she was filled with emotion, "It seems that Marquis Weiyuan has taught your granddaughter very well."
She had heard a little about Song Zhaoyuan's illness in the capital. An arrow almost grazed his heart, and he was only breathing his last when he was transported back to the capital from the northwest. During that time, he relied on various precious medicinal herbs to keep him alive.
The journey of exile was long, not to mention the various dangers involved, so she never dared to ask about their specific situation in Guizhou.
Even the imperial doctors in the palace were helpless to treat the injuries that Song Wan could cure. To be able to do so, he must have worked hard to learn medical skills in the northwest.
Gu Yan was anxious to know that Concubine Rou had misunderstood, but this misunderstanding was beneficial to Song Wan, as it made everyone think that she was good at medicine, rather than having some strange ability.
Song Wan thought of her grandfather, with whom she had only lived for a few hours, and her heart was moved. She remembered that when she first came through and opened her eyes, the first scene she saw was a white-haired old man trying hard to help her block the enemy's sword.
Speaking of which, that was the first time in Song Wan's two lives that she felt the feeling of being protected by someone. Perhaps it was because of this that she had tried so hard to help the old man find his family.
"Grandfather loves me very much." Song Wan's words were not just words, but her memory showed that the old man really loved the original owner. His sons, grandsons, granddaughters, and great-granddaughters were all inferior to the original owner in his heart.
Recalling the original owner's memories, Song Wan suddenly felt a little envious of her. Apart from their names, they seemed to be very different in other aspects.
When Concubine Rou saw that Song Wan looked sad ever since she mentioned Marquis Weiyuan, she could guess that Marquis Weiyuan was no longer around. When she was in the capital, the harem was cut off from news, and the empress dowager deliberately kept it from her.
She knew very little about the affairs of the Song and Gu families.
"Let the past be the past. Your grandfather probably doesn't want you to worry about him all the time." Concubine Rou touched Song Wan's head with a gentle tone.
"Your Majesty is right. The most important thing now is to find my second brother first. We can't let Chi Chi be without a father!" Song Wan decided that from now on she would live well for the original owner. She also wanted to be a child with a father and mother.
Anyway, she doesn't have biological parents in modern times. Since Qi was the original owner's mother, she should be willing to be her mother again. After all, she is a good person. She can fight, make money, and has a very handsome man.
Even her biological parents would be proud of her. Besides, it has been so long since she came here, and Mrs. Qi has always liked her very much. I think she must have the talent to be someone else's daughter.
Concubine Rou was halfway through approving when she suddenly stopped and asked, "Who is Chi Chi?"
Song Wan: "I forgot to mention, Chi Chi is my second brother's daughter. She's chubby and has a big appetite. She eats a lot, so I gave her this nickname."
Concubine Rou had not expected such shocking news to be waiting for her. She almost lost her composure, "Was your second sister-in-law pregnant?"
Song Wan nodded, "It was almost three months already."
Concubine Rou clenched her handkerchief tightly, feeling terrified. But when she came to her senses, she remembered her description just now: the child was fat and had a good appetite, so he must be a healthy child.
"It's not easy for her and the baby in her belly to endure such a difficult exile." Concubine Rou said with concern.
"It's okay to eat, it doesn't make people tired. As long as my second sister-in-law is full, she won't make a fuss." Song Wan told the truth.
Just by hearing what she said, Concubine Rou started to like this child whom she had never met before. She thought that she had a good appetite at such a young age, which she inherited from her aunt Song Wan.
"I still have a lot of supplements suitable for your second sister-in-law in my warehouse. I will have someone sort them out later and you can take them back." Concubine Rou said.
"Tonic?" Song Wan tilted her head. "Is it delicious? Can I eat it?"
She remembered that some chefs liked to put various tonic herbs into dishes, which were called medicinal cuisine.
Patients can eat it, and ordinary people can eat it too.
Tiffany Rou laughed, "Those supplements are not suitable for Wan. If you really want to eat them——"
Having said that, she paused for a moment, her eyes fell on Gu Yanji, and her tone was teasing, "Let Yanji marry you back soon."
Gu Yan's ears turned red with anxiety.
"Why?" Concubine Rou asked with a smile, "Don't you want to marry our Awan?"
Come to think of it, her son seems to be about the same age as Awan.
"He wants to." Song Wan quickly replied on Gu Yan's behalf, "He said he wanted to marry me a long time ago."
This time, not only her ears, but also Gu Yan's face turned completely red.
Qi Fu, Yun Zhuo, Yuanbao Ada, and even the always calm Li Lin couldn't help but curl up the corners of their lips.
Concubine Rou found that she liked Song Wan more and more. If she and Gu Yanji had not been engaged, she really wanted her son to marry her and make her the Princess of Yi.
Gu Yanji tried hard to calm down and held Song Wan's hand in front of Concubine Rou, trying to regain his sovereignty. He smiled and said, "Yes, I have wanted to marry A Wan for a long time."
Song Wan puffed out her chest proudly, raised her chin slightly, and hummed, "See, he admitted it!"
Concubine Rou chuckled softly, "Yanji, you must treat A-Wan well from now on."
As if she had finally regained the initiative, Gu Yan anxiously replied, "Of course."
Concubine Rou nodded with satisfaction.
Then he thought to himself, forget it, her son is not worthy of such a good girl.
