Work overtime

Chapter 796

"Your Majesty, rest assured." Jiang Xian stood up and stepped aside. He looked at Li Hongyuan solemnly, nodded, and said in a low voice, "I will go and prepare the wild ginseng soup."

The meaning is self-evident.

Soon, the harem was filled with concubines and little princes and princesses kneeling.

Li Hongyuan held his eldest son in his arms and said, "Zhang'er, hurry up and say hello to the ancestor."

"Hello, ancestor. May you be in good health. Zhang'er pays his respects to you, ancestor."

"Zhang'er is four years old, right?"

Zhang Er replied politely: "My dear, Zhang Er is four years old. I will go to school next year."

Jiang Yuebai pinched Zhang'er's face and said, "Study hard and become a good emperor like your father when you grow up."

"Thank you, Grandmother, for your guidance. Zhang'er understands."

Jiang Yuebai tried to open his eyes, but he could only see a blur. It seemed that he was really dying.

[System reminder: Host, you only have 30 minutes left. If you don't want to die, you can use your points to redeem your life.]

She couldn't help but think of the Third Prince and the Ninth Prince who were far away in the Northeast. She hadn't seen them for many years.

In the first few years, the two sons were busy with local affairs and had no time to visit her; when they finally had some free time in the past two years, Jiang Yuebai was visiting everywhere all year round and was not in the palace. The family just couldn't get together.

The Northeast has been put on my itinerary for next year, but I haven’t had the chance to go there yet.

There is also the New Australia Kingdom. According to Old Thirteen, King Zhongao has unified the South Australia Kingdom. Chinese is the first official language, and the central and local government departments are all copied from the Ming Dynasty. The scenery is beautiful, but it is much more backward than the Ming Dynasty, with wasteland everywhere. It's a pity to leave it empty and not grow vegetables or crops. To be honest, she also wants to go and see it.

What a pity.

Jiang Yuebai couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I miss them so much. I really should go see them earlier."

[System reminder: Host, you only have 25 minutes left. If you don't want to die, you can use your points to redeem your life.]

Li Hongyuan immediately understood and said, "Grandmother, do you want to see the Third and Ninth Uncles? I will go with you next spring. You should take care of your health first."

"Grandson, your royal grandmother can't accompany you any longer. You have to be a person like your royal grandfather. Do you understand?"

Li Hongyuan, "Grandmother, no, you still have to go to the Northeast to see the Emperor's uncle, and you still have to ride a horse."

"I do want to," Jiang Yuebai said with a smile, "Now that you mention it, I don't want to die either. Why hasn't Doctor Ge come yet?"

There were only white dots flashing in front of her eyes, making her feel dazed. She felt so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes.

[System reminder: Host, you only have 20 minutes of life left. If you don't want to die, you can use your points to exchange for life. ]

[System reminder: Host, your life value is detected to be extremely weak, less than 20 minutes. Once again remind you that you have a lot of unused points, you can use the points to exchange for life. Please choose yes or no? ]

"Grandmother, please don't go to sleep yet. Drink some ginseng soup."

The queen helped Jiang Yuebai sit up. Li Hongyuan fed her wild ginseng soup while anxiously looking at the door. Yes, why did it take so long? He suppressed his anger and asked, "Where is Doctor Ge? Where is Doctor Ge?"

"Your Majesty, Doctor Ge is on the way." The young eunuch answered cautiously.

[System reminder: Host, your health value is detected to be extremely weak, and you only have 15 minutes left. If it is less than 10 minutes, you cannot recharge. ]

Jiang Yuebai thought about it and realized that there were still many things to do and he couldn't die yet.

Quickly click the system button [Yes].

Enter the points exchange life interface. According to Jiang Yuebai's current emperor favorability points, if all of them are used to exchange, it can be exchanged for 99 years of life.

Jiang Yuebai wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. It seemed that Li Beichen still loved her a little. He loved her enough to let her live a good life again.

Thinking of this, my nose actually felt a little sore.

The system has been counting down. Anyway, it can be redeemed at any time, just like recharging a mobile phone, but the number of years must be a multiple of ten. Jiang Yuebai redeemed ten years first.

I forgot that system points can be exchanged for life. Otherwise, I should have agreed without hesitation when I asked Li Beichen to lend me his life. I wouldn't have to worry about it for so long. Unfortunately, even if I was willing to lend him my life, I couldn't lend him more.

Jiang Xian, who was standing by, looked at Jiang Yuebai's frowning face, and felt a dull pain in his heart. He was very uneasy, "Your Majesty, I will try acupuncture again."

"Okay." Li Hongyuan responded immediately. He ordered everyone to leave, leaving only the queen in the inner room.

After Jiang Xian performed some acupuncture, Jiang Yuebai slowly woke up and opened her eyes to look at them. Li Hongyuan and the Queen both cried with joy. Jiang Xian also wiped his tears with his sleeves.

When Jiang Bingliang and Jiang Jinshu finally arrived, panting, they knelt in front of the bed and shouted, "Sister, sister!"

Jiang Yuebai smiled and stretched out his hand, which was tightly grasped by his brother and sister. "You are here?"

Jiang Bingliang and Jiang Jinshu nodded desperately. When Doctor Ge arrived, he knelt in front of the bed and felt the emperor's pulse, then reported to the emperor, "The Empress Dowager was too worried and distressed, which is why she is like this. Fortunately, Doctor Jiang used acupuncture in time to save her life. I will prescribe a few more medicines, and she should be cured soon."

Li Hongyuan was overjoyed, tears glistening in his eyes. "Great! Reward! A huge reward!"

He knelt down in front of the couch again and said, "I'll just say that the Empress Dowager is a lucky person and nothing will happen to her."

Everyone wiped their tears and cried with joy.

In the following month, the Queen, Tana, and Wang Wanyi, the niece of Jiang Yuebai's mother, were the ones who took care of her. Wang Wanyi gave birth to a boy and a girl. The Queen had already given birth to two boys and a girl.

The five eldest princesses, the Liaodong King, and the Andong King returned to the capital to visit their old mothers. They took care of Jiang Yuebai for ten days before returning to celebrate the New Year. By the New Year's Eve, Jiang Yuebai's illness had recovered more than half.

All three of them are 44 years old, and their faces show traces of middle-aged years. They are no longer the children they used to be.

The little Liaodong King looked more mature and steady, his gestures were grand, and he had a royal aura. He was very serious when he was silent, but he smiled when he spoke. In fact, this smile was only for his mother. In front of his mother, he could be a carefree child. Jiang Yuebai ordered the palace people to make him a lot of delicious food from his childhood. The Liaodong King said that he didn't want to go back to the northeast, and he just stayed with his mother.

But within a few days, his wife was about to give birth and called him back. His wife was two years younger than him, at the age of 42, she could still get pregnant. He was so happy. Jiang Yuebai gave him many rewards and made many snacks that were easy to preserve for him to take back for the children. The emperor also gave him old bacon and Guizhou aged wine to take back, which made him even happier.

The third brother, King Anton, who had his left arm broken, was more gloomy. But he used to be the most lively and talkative person.

When the third child came in, he saw his mother leaning against the head of the bed, looking at him tenderly and calling his nickname.

"Atai~"

He was overwhelmed with emotions and walked quickly to the bedside, threw himself on his mother and burst into tears.

Hearing the third brother crying, Jiang Yuebai was shocked but also felt distressed. He sighed and gently stroked the third brother's hair, "Atai, it really made you suffer to stay in that wild place for these years."

"Mother, I have missed you so much these years. When I heard that you were seriously ill, I was scared to death." The third brother said with a sob.

Jiang Yuebai smiled, "You kid, you're still crying even though you're already so grown up."

"I can't help it." The third brother raised his head, tears streaming down his face.

Jiang Yuebai picked up the silk handkerchief and lovingly wiped away his tears. "You. When you were a child, you were the most noisy and the least fond of crying. If someone said one thing, you would say five things. Now you don't say anything. Mother is not used to it."

"Mother." The third child knelt in front of the bed like a child, letting his mother wipe the tears from his face, "My son wants to go back to his childhood."

Jiang Yuebai laughed, "What nonsense are you talking about? At that time, you grabbed the golden sword specially made by your father, saying that you were going to war. Now you really are going to war. It's pretty accurate."

She looked at her son's left arm lovingly, "Does your arm still hurt?"

The third child shook his head and held his mother's hand tightly.

Jiang Yuebai laughed again, "I'm not used to you being so frugal with words. I thought you would exaggerate and shout when you saw me, 'Mother, the child is back~' or something like that. That tone would make anyone happy. Tai'er, life over there is not very hard. It's made you stop talking."

"Maybe a little. It's snowing all the time." The third brother laughed, hahahaha.

Jiang Yuebai patted the third brother's hand, "That's good. Smile happily. Smile more."

In the next few days, the third child accompanied Jiang Yuebai for three meals a day, played Go, and read to his mother in a rhythmic manner. Sometimes, in order to make Jiang Yuebai happy, he deliberately acted funny. The two laughed together. The third child felt like he had returned to his childhood, happy and sad.

He always called out, "Mother~"

Whenever Jiang Yuebai asked him what was wrong, he would always grin and say, "Nothing. I just feel so good that my mother is still here."

It snowed heavily during the days when he came. The snow fell in large numbers, crystal clear. The mother and son sat by the window and watched the snow quietly. Jiang Yuebai couldn't help but think of the heavy snow when the five little ones were born.

Li Beichen told her that before he traveled through time, he lived in a city called Weihai, where there was a blue sea. In winter, it would snow heavily. The waves would roll the snow into the waves, which was an extremely shocking spectacle.

In winter, the Northeast was covered with snow and ice. Jiang Yuebai left the third brother in the capital to celebrate the New Year. The third brother said that the ethnic situation in his place was quite complicated. Although the New Year was the most auspicious time of the year, everyone stayed at home all day, which gave rise to a lot of idle anger, so there were more conflicts between tribes than usual.

Moreover, the generals and soldiers were celebrating the New Year in their original places, and he, as the commander, was staying outside to eat, drink and have fun. He felt bad about it, so he insisted on rushing back. When the emperor heard about it, he sent 20,000 soldiers to take him back to the Northeast.

But Jiang Yuebai was still worried about his son. It was difficult to walk in the snow and it was easy for something to happen. He asked two doctors from the Imperial Hospital to go with him and bring a bunch of herbs. He also gave him the powerful pills, aphrodisiac pills, cold-dispelling pills, hemostatic pills, and blood-dissolving pills provided by the system. He then used three lucky charms on his son.

During the New Year's Eve family dinner, Li Hongyuan invited all of Jiang Yuebai's relatives in Beijing to the palace and set up several tables. This was a great honor for the royal grandmother's family. It also showed that the three big families behind Jiang Yuebai had moved to the capital and formed marriages with the aristocratic families in the capital, and it had begun to take shape.

In the 23rd year of Jiashun, Jiang Yuebai took Tana to the northeast to visit the Third Prince and the Ninth Prince.

When passing through Liaodong Town, he met Meng Shu, who had been guarding the town after an absence of 23 years.

The sunny and handsome boy of fourteen has become a mature and resolute old general of fifty-eight years old.

Time is a butcher's knife to others, but it is a carving knife to Meng Shu, making him more and more charming as a mature man.

He stared at the woman he had loved for more than forty years. She was as beautiful as she was in her youth. Time seemed to be especially kind to her, and she looked only a little more dignified and elegant than before.

And the longing that had been suppressed for more than forty years erupted like a volcano, burning his throat, wetting his eyes, and making his voice a little hoarse.

"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Grand Empress Dowager. I wish Her Majesty the best of health."
