I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Hearing this, Fang Xiu took out the exquisite wooden box from his bosom, put it on with both hands, and said in a gentle tone: "This is the elixir that I have invited to live in seclusion. It is an elixir refined for the Queen Mother. It is called Zhuyan Pill."

The queen mother was slightly taken aback when she heard the words "miracle doctor" and "elixir".

Although she doesn't have much contact with Fang Xiu, she can see that Fang Xiu is not a person who just talks about it.

If it is an ordinary famous doctor or elixir, it will definitely not be worthy of the titles of "miracle doctor" and "elixir".

"I don't know what this so-called elixir will look like."

Curiosity appeared in the Queen Mother's eyes, and she winked at the maid beside her.

The maid understood, stepped forward to take the wooden box, and presented it to the Queen Mother.

After the Queen Mother reached out to take it, she opened the wooden box, and saw a blue elixir lying quietly inside, which looked ordinary and did not have the brilliance of the legendary elixir.

On the side, Wu Mingkong's pretty face was slightly hot when he saw this so-called elixir.

She really wanted to praise this elixir, but the ordinary appearance of the elixir made her unable to open her mouth.

After holding back for a long time, only one sentence came out:
"The road is as simple as it is, this elixir can be said to be back to the basics"

The voice fell.

She herself felt that this was forcibly seeking love, a blush appeared on her pretty face, and she glanced at Fang Xiu.

That look seemed to say: I have already said, this is the first time you have accompanied me to see your mother, the gift you prepared should be more delicate, why are you so perfunctory.

Fang Xiu, on the other hand, looked calm and calm, and said seriously:

"I paid a very high price to find this elixir. If it were replaced with thousand-year-old ginseng, there would be [-] roots. The medicinal materials are easy to get, but the magic doctor is hard to find. In my opinion, this elixir is enough to be called a elixir. A priceless treasure in medicine!"

In any case, it cost [-] emotional points, so there is always something different from ordinary pills.

[Emotion value +2000]

When the little empress heard this, her pretty face turned even redder, and she couldn't help covering her face with her hand, thinking in her heart, this traitor is usually not a person who talks freely, how did he become like this when he came in front of the empress.

Medicines are easy to get, but miracle doctors are hard to find.
Thank goodness he can tell!

It was obviously just an ordinary elixir, but in his mouth, it seemed like it really became a elixir.

Thinking so, Wu Mingkong opened his mouth, wanting to restore Fang Xiu's impression in the queen mother's heart, but for a while he didn't know what to say.

Forget it, give up, that's all.

With a helpless expression on his face, Wu Mingkong once again covered his face.

aside.

When the queen mother heard this, a gentle smile appeared between her brows and she replied: "You really have a heart."

After a pause, he stretched out his slender fingers, picked up the elixir, and said with a light smile, "I'm looking forward to it, what is the effect of such an elixir?"

After the words fell, he looked at Fang Xiu with curiosity in his eyes.

"How to take this elixir?"

How to take it?

The system mall did not introduce it either.

Fang Xiu was slightly taken aback, lost in thought.

Seeing this, Wu Mingkong couldn't bear it anymore, glared at him, lowered his voice, and called angrily: "Fang Xiu!"

Hearing the voice of the little empress, Fang Xiu hurriedly replied: "I forgot to ask the miracle doctor at the time, but nothing unexpected happened, it should be swallowed."

"What do you mean, no accident, if there is an accident, such an elixir, if it doesn't work, wouldn't it be a waste."

Wu Mingkong looked at Fang Xiu and said angrily.

This sentence, on the surface, is to blame Fang Xiu, but in fact it is to excuse him.

In case this so-called "elixir" has no effect, it must be the wrong way of taking it, not that the elixir itself has no effect.
The Queen Mother could naturally hear the implication, and couldn't help but glanced at her daughter.

She had deduced from the various performances of the empress since she was a child that the relationship between the two was very close, and their friendship was far beyond that of ordinary monarchs and ministers, but she did not expect that it would reach this point.Don't shy away from her.

I know, the two are the emperor and the prime minister, but I don't know, I thought they were the husband and the lady.
The Empress Dowager thought for a while, and then she showed a gentle smile on her face again, and said softly: "I am very pleased that Fang Xiu has such a heart."

The voice fell.

Wu Mingkong was slightly taken aback.

The queen mother has controlled the harem for many years, and has always followed the rules in speaking and doing things.

As the head of all the officials, Fang Xiu is also the Grand Master, with a great status.

Even the queen mother should show enough attention to him, and it stands to reason that he should be called by his position, such as prime minister or grand master.

Now it is called by his first name, which shows that in the heart of the queen mother, Fang Xiu came to Yongshou Palace not as a prime minister or grand master, but as a junior.

in other words.

The queen mother, Fang Xiu, is quite satisfied with this person.

She originally thought that Fang Xiu, who had dominated the government for many years, bewitched the late emperor, and brought disaster to the country and the people, would be no different from a traitor in the heart of the empress mother.

When the queen mother saw Fang Xiu, she would never give him a good face, not to mention that her sword was on the verge of breaking out.

Therefore.

The little empress asked Fang Xiu to prepare a congratulatory gift a long time in advance, hoping to improve his image in the heart of the empress.

But she didn't expect that the scene after the meeting was much more harmonious than she imagined!
"This is what the minister should do."

Fang Xiu stood upright on the spot, bowed his hands and saluted.

When the queen mother heard this, she showed a warm smile on her face, looked at the maid beside her, and ordered, "Go get a glass of warm water."

"Yes."

The maid responded, turned and left, and brought a glass of warm water after a while.

After the queen mother took it, she lightly opened her red lips, put the elixir into her mouth, and then swallowed it with the help of warm water.

Seeing this scene, the little empress and the palace maid all showed surprise on their faces.

Obviously, it was unexpected that the Queen Mother actually swallowed the elixir.

In their eyes, even though this elixir is really made by a genius doctor, it has not been tested, so there is always a certain risk.

What should I do if my body has problems because of this elixir.

Not to mention them, even Fang Xiu was a little dazed when he saw the Queen Mother swallowing Zhuyan Pill without hesitation.

He had never met the Queen Mother before, how could the Queen Mother trust him so much?

Isn't she afraid that what she sent is actually poison?
After being stunned for a while, Fang Xiu suddenly realized that this was the empress dowager's way of buying people's hearts.

She could have treasured this "elixir", but she swallowed it in one gulp in front of her face.

This was to show her trust in Fangxiu.

In fact.

Although the Queen Mother lives in seclusion, she is not ignorant of the situation in the court.

She knows it very well.

Today's Dagan's actual emperor is not his own daughter, but the young Dagan prime minister——Fang Xiu!
In the face of such powerful ministers who dominate the world, suppression will not work, only win over.

How to win over?

It's nothing more than playing the emotional card and winning people's hearts.

"Poor parents all over the world, the Empress Dowager did this for the sake of the little empress."

Thinking of this, Fang Xiu sighed leisurely in his heart.

the other side.

The Queen Mother who swallowed Zhuyan Pill felt warm in her lower abdomen, as if something warm was flowing.

At first, she thought it was just her own illusion.

However, after calming down, I found that this feeling became clearer.

Finally, she realized that this was not an illusion, but a fact!

"Could it be that this Zhuyan Pill is really an elixir refined by a genius doctor, as Fang Xiu said?"

Thinking of this.

There was a hint of surprise in the Queen Mother's eyes, she looked at the maid beside her, and ordered: "Bring the glazed mirror."

"Yes."

The maid saluted and brought a mirror made of glass.

The queen mother held the mirror in her hand, and looked at the fair and delicate face reflected in it, her expression became more and more surprised.

The complexion shown in the glazed mirror is indeed much rosier than before!
It seems to be moisturized, glowing with supple vitality.

"Elixir. It's really an elixir"

Even the stable queen mother couldn't help being amazed at this moment.

From the beginning to the end, the little empress was observing the changes in the queen mother.

Keep your heart high and be ready to summon the imperial doctor at any time.

At this moment, seeing the Queen Mother's state, she first breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully there was no accident.

Then I was a little surprised.

Observing changes in appearance is a woman's innate talent, and the little empress is no exception.

She could obviously feel that after taking Zhuyan Pill, her skin became more hydrated.

Although he is already 34 years old, he looks no different from 27 or 28.

"If the queen mother and Fang Xiu go out together, no one will think that the queen mother is older than Fang Xiu."

Thinking of this, Wu Mingkong couldn't help looking at Fang Xiu, his delicate face showed anticipation, and asked impatiently, "Do you still have Zhuyan Pill?"

Fang Xiu shook his head lightly, and said leisurely: "I just said that medicinal materials are easy to get, but miracle doctors are hard to find. Such elixir is hard to come by, even if I pay a huge price, I will only get it from the hands of the magic doctor." Found one."

Hearing this, Wu Mingkong looked Fang Xiu up and down, with a look of suspicion on his face.

Although there is nothing wrong with saying this, but with more than a year of experience in getting along, she still feels... weird!
"This traitor must not only have one Zhuyan Pill! We must find an opportunity to squeeze it out!"

Wu Mingkong thought about this, nodded his head, and replied: "This statement is reasonable, if you can find it easily, it can't be called a elixir."

When the queen mother heard this, she couldn't help but look at Fang Xiu more.

After thinking for a while, she said, "I heard that this glazed mirror was created by you."

Fang Xiu opened his mouth, wanting to answer, but before he could speak, he heard the little empress beside him say:

"How can he have this kind of work, he is a craftsman under him, an improved formula."

The Empress Dowager said: "There are so many craftsmen in the world, why can the craftsmen under Du Dufangxiu develop so many novel objects? This is why there are Bole in the world, and then there are Maxima."

Wu Mingkong curled his lips when he heard this, but did not refute.

at this time.

The Empress Dowager continued: "Speaking of which, my unsatisfactory younger brother also spends his days in the mansion studying various objects, but he hasn't brought any benefit to the court for so many years."

Speaking of which.

She didn't know what to think of, and Liu Mei frowned slightly, obviously hating uncle Guo.

When Wu Mingkong heard this, he hesitated to speak.

She really wanted to say: "What's so interesting about those woods, it can make my father and my uncle indulge in it."

After thinking about it, I felt that as a junior, it was not appropriate for me to say such words in front of my mother, so I forcibly held back.

When Fang Xiu heard the Queen Mother mentioning the uncle, he didn't respond, just remained silent.

at this time.

The maid's voice came from outside the house.

"Report to the Empress Dowager that the uncle, princess and princesses have already entered the palace."

The queen mother said lightly: "Understood, bring them to Yongshou Palace."

"Yes, Queen Mother!"

The maid responded and turned to leave.

The Empress Dowager looked at the personal maid at the side again, and ordered: "Inform the Imperial Dining Room and set up a banquet."

"Yes."

The maid saluted and turned to leave.

The queen mother put her eyes on Fang Xiu and the little empress again, and said softly, "I'll talk about it later while eating."

Fang Xiu and the little empress saluted together when they heard this.

After a while.

Under the arrangement of the palace maid.

There are more than a dozen exquisite desks in Yongshou Palace.

Immediately, various fine pastries and tempting delicacies were placed.

The queen mother is naturally sitting in the middle, the first seat.

The little empress sat next to her, slightly to the side.

Fang Xiu and Uncle Guo ranked first on both sides.

On the side are the eldest princess, princesses, and some unnamed royal relatives.

All the people attending the banquet, except the queen mother and the little empress, looked at Fang Xiu with somewhat reserved eyes.

Although they are relatives of the emperor, they are not indifferent to the fireworks in the world on weekdays. They all know how terrifying the power of this Prime Minister is!
Even though they are members of the royal family and have a high status, if they offend the prime minister, they will still have to die.

On the delicate atmosphere of the hall.

Fang Xiu can naturally detect it.

He thought for a second, poured himself a glass of wine, stood up, faced the Queen Mother, first saluted respectfully, and then said sincerely:
"I am blessed with the grace of God to be able to have today. Looking back on the past, I can only be grateful"

"This cup of wine, I respect the Empress Dowager, as well as the late Emperor!"

After the voice fell, he raised his glass and drank it down.

When everyone saw this scene, there was a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Obviously, he did not expect that the Prime Minister would mention the late Emperor at the Empress Dowager's family banquet.

At this moment, looking at Fang Xiu with a sincere face, they could not help but see the face of the late emperor in their minds.

When the late emperor was still alive, he often held banquets, with all kinds of delicacies, dancing and playing music.

At that time, it was the happiest time for their royal relatives.

Unfortunately.
A few years after singing and dancing rose to prominence, Dagan went into decline.

The people are suffering, and various disasters occur frequently.

The number of banquets held by the first emperor also decreased.

After the empress came to the throne, she was diligent and thrifty, increased income and cut expenditure, and the banquet in the palace was only held once a year during the Chinese New Year.

It is difficult to experience the original happiness again.

Thinking of this.

Everyone's faces showed sentimentality, and at the same time, the original tension and restraint disappeared a lot.

Seeing this, the queen mother mentioned several light and interesting things.

The atmosphere in Yongshou Palace gradually became active.

Push the cup and change the cup for a few rounds.

Uncle Guo's face flushed red, he stood up suddenly, looked at the empress dowager in the first seat, and said with some pride:

"Empress Dowager, my brother has worked hard for a year and finally got results!"

Speaking of this, he paused, took out a small object from his bosom, shook it twice, and said loudly:

"Today, my brother presents this fruit of one year's hard work to you! As a congratulatory gift!"
