The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

Chapter 325

Before leaving, Li Sheng told Hu Luanfei, "Last time, the emperor drank the 'Qingxin Xiehuo Soup' sent by the empress, and felt physically and mentally refreshed. Today, I asked the servant to tell the empress to make it again when you have time."

The ways of the world are probably like a thorn in the flesh, or like poison when drinking dove. If you owe enough, it will overtake your soul and be engraved in your bones and blood. You can never forget it, and it can never be erased. No matter how many years have passed, no matter how many things have happened, one day what you owe will have to be repaid, and you can't escape it.

She really wanted to go back to Menghu Mountain. Although it was not as rich and prosperous as the capital city, and there were no bells and drums in the palace, at least there were dogs barking and cicadas chirping, smoke curling up, and people working from sunrise to sunset. Although life there was hard, it was solid, free and unconstrained.

Thinking of this, her expression darkened. She understood that if the two problems of the Queen Mother and Qi Sili were not solved, Qi Siriao would never have peace in his life. He had a deep attachment and reluctance to Daqian, just as she always missed the years at Menghu Mountain.

"I understand. When I am healthy again, I will wash my hands and make soup."

Not long after Li Shengcai left, Hu Luanfei slowly walked back to the East Garden and sat down next to the table.

Before we knew it, night had quietly arrived, a cool breeze blew, and soon it began to drizzle, making the sky and the earth hazy.

bang-

The sound of bowls falling to the ground was heard from the main hall.

Then came the scolding voice of the nanny: "Bringing such hot soup over here, are you trying to scald the Empress Dowager to death?"

"I am guilty, I deserve to die."

"Okay, this won't happen again." After the Queen Mother spoke, the main hall became quiet, with only the slight sounds of palace servants cleaning.

Then, the Queen Mother came to the East Garden in person for the first time ever.

Hu Luanfei opened the lid of the ointment, and the bursts of mint fragrance instantly made her whole body feel refreshed.

Just as she had dabbed some ointment on the tip of her index finger, she saw the Queen Mother calling her with a smile on her face, "Luan Fei, come sit next to me."

Hmm? His sudden softening attitude could be a sign of gentleness.

Even though he didn't like it, Hu Luanfei still responded softly and sat down on the chair beside her. There was ointment on his fingertips, which he applied on the back of his hand. It felt cool and comfortable.

Aunt Zhang, who was waiting at the side, quickly brought her a cup of milk tea. The rich milky aroma was so refreshing and tempting that she couldn't help but drink a few more sips.

The Queen Mother's face was flushed, and her voice was much softer than the previous two days, "The Emperor loves you and rewards you with this ointment."

As soon as they came to talk about this, Hu Luanfei curled her fingertips slightly, and she thought for a moment and asked softly, "What does the Empress Dowager have to say when she comes to the East Garden?"

The empress dowager didn't dare to say it directly, and when she reached out to take the tea, a light red mark appeared on the back of her white hand.

Therefore, Hu Luanfei asked one more question: "Madam, your hand..."

The Queen Mother withdrew her hand, not caring at all, "You are Liao'er's princess, so don't be estranged. Just call me mother like Liao'er does."

It's an inexplicable show of goodwill, and I always feel like a weasel is paying a New Year's greeting to a chicken.

Hu Luanfei smiled awkwardly. No wonder he asked about the ointment right away. Maybe he wanted to get a piece of the pie. While thinking about it, he didn't forget to pick up the cup and drink a few more sips of milk tea.

The Queen Mother didn't say anything, and she didn't bring it up on her own initiative.

Nanny Zhang was waiting on the side, her face full of smiles: "That's right, when the prince was a child, he always loved to come to the Cining Palace to play with the Empress Dowager, and he would always clamor for the Empress Dowager to make cakes for him."

Hu Luanfei was disdainful in his heart. Who knows Qi Siriao's childhood life? You can make up all the stories. It seems that you have something to ask for, so you come here to play the emotional card.

"Empress Dowager, you took such good care of the prince when he was young. As his wife, I don't know how to repay you."

The Queen Mother said kindly, "They are all the late emperor's children. I like them all."

Seeing Hu Luanfei applying the ointment, the Queen Mother asked tentatively: "The stuff the Emperor gave me is really good. When I applied it to the wound, there is not even a trace of scar. It is indeed a magical ointment mass-produced in the Western Regions."

Hu Luanfei understood what he meant, "This medicine is indeed effective. The Queen Mother is also injured, why not..."

The Queen Mother was really rude. She immediately jumped down the stairs when she saw one. "Then I won't be polite. Aunt Zhang, I'll take the medicine and don't disturb Princess Zhan from resting. We should go back too."

The Empress Dowager did not like the used ointment that Hu Luanfei pushed out, so she ordered Nanny Zhang to take the unopened bottle.

Just two bottles of ointment...

The Queen Mother had the ingenuity to steal a bottle from her. Without thinking, she knew why she did that. For Nanny Wang, the Queen Mother was willing to hurt herself to get medicine from her.

It's so pitiful that the empress dowager of a country doesn't even have ointment for burns. Is it because the Imperial Medical Bureau is incompetent or is Qi Sili unfilial?

There was an itch behind my ear, so I put some ointment on my fingertips and applied it there.

The drizzle was still going on and was about to turn into a storm. Hu Luan flew to the window, missing the little one at home.

I don’t know whether Qi Siliao took good care of Minglang.

"Luan Fei!"

I haven’t seen Qi Siliao for a long time, and I actually had auditory hallucinations late at night.

"Mother, mother-in-law..."

Hu Luanfei paused for a moment, his eyes suddenly fell on the medicine bottle, and a thought popped into his mind: This medicine is poisonous!

I threw it onto the table with a loud bang, and the bottle circled around the table...

"Mother, mother-in-law..."

Hu Luanfei covered his ears fiercely and muttered to himself, "Damn, this drug is really toxic. I only applied a little bit and I have terrible auditory hallucinations."

She completely ignored the fact that the two voices were behind her, and Qi Siliao did not remind her. He quietly walked closer, allowing the child's hand to touch her face.

"Ah!" The sudden touch frightened Hu Luanfei so much that he screamed, and the child started giggling at this moment.

Hu Luanfei was awakened from her dream. When she turned around, the child just happened to fall into her arms. "Minglang, it's really you."

It had been a long time since I last hugged my child, and Hu Luanfei greedily absorbed the milk scent from the child.

"Ma'am..."

"Hey, my dear baby, kiss me."

The doll in her arms was soft and adorable, but Hu Luanfei's eyes were filled with tears. She glared at Qi Siliao angrily, "It's all your fault. Why did you ask me to come to Cining Palace to take care of the sick? You made Minglang and I separated for so long."

Qi Si Liao helped her wipe away her tears gently: "We need to give her a hostage. If we can't do it openly, we can do it secretly."

"I've been so tired these past few days. Look, I was even stung by a caterpillar and got a rash all over my body. It was so uncomfortable."

"I will help you apply the medicine later." His voice was slightly hoarse.

Hu Luanfei blushed immediately at his ambiguous voice. She was originally still angry, but in a moment, her heart softened into a puddle of mud.

"Even if you suddenly show your goodwill, I will not forgive you." Hu Luanfei lightly hit his chest, "By the way, how did you two get in? Didn't they say that the Cining Palace was heavily guarded?"

Qi Si Liao lifted her hair, took out a bottle of ointment and slowly applied it to her, saying, "Thanks to you, we were able to seriously injure one of them. But I didn't expect that the big camphor tree near the flower room was full of poisonous insects, and I didn't expect the Queen Mother to value Wang Ma so much."

As soon as the thought of the camphor tree caterpillar came to mind, Hu Luanfei's hair exploded without Qi Si Liao having to lift it up...
