Queen Xiaoxi

Bu Bin also quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears on her face.

Erden ran in excitedly holding half-opened lotus flowers and green lotus leaves, followed by two brothers Erbala and Erribala. Behind the two brothers were Garzang and Ji Heping, who was smiling.

Erdun excitedly held half-opened lotus flowers and green lotus leaf pods in front of Princess Duanjing, and said happily: "Erden, please smell, this lotus smells so good. And the lotus seeds in this lotus pod, peel them off." When you put the skin off and put it in your mouth, it’s crispy and sweet. It’s delicious.”

"It's delicious, just eat more. Now is the best time to eat it raw. In a few days, when the lotus seeds are old, they won't taste like this anymore." Princess Duanjing wiped the sweat on her daughter's forehead with a handkerchief. Zhu, said softly.

Bu Bin also looked at the scene in front of her with a smile, and then waved to her two grandsons standing aside.

The two brothers Erbala and Erlibala immediately stood in front of Bubin.

Bu Bin lovingly held the hands of the two brothers and said lovingly: "They are really two good children. Guo Luo's mother has heard about them. It has been all thanks to you two brothers to support your mother for many years."

"Mother Guo Luo praised her. Her grandson was born to E Niang, so she must protect her." Erbala took the lead and said.

Eribala also nodded in agreement.

Bu Bin's face became more and more happy. She held the two brothers' hands one by one and praised Princess Duanjing: "Duanjing, you have raised a pair of good sons."

"Mother Guo Luo, Erden is also a good daughter of Er Niang. You can't just praise your brothers." Erden said coquettishly to Bu Bin, unconvinced. Although Princess Duanjing and Garzang were at odds with each other before, the two of them still doted on their only daughter.

"Erden, there is no reason for you to talk to Guo Luo's mother like this." Princess Duanjing instructed her daughter dissatisfied.

Listening to her granddaughter acting coquettishly and saying unconvinced words, Bu Bin didn't feel dissatisfied at all, but quickly changed her words: "Yes, yes, it's all Guo Luo's mother who said the wrong thing, and our Erdun is also a very filial good boy. "

Erdun happily took Princess Duanjing's hand and chattered about what he had just seen and heard.

Garzang did not speak, but looked at the scene in front of him with a smile, feeling particularly harmonious.

Ji Heping, who was watching from the side, was extremely excited when he saw the scene in front of him. This scene was what the empress had been looking forward to. However, looking at the time, Ji Heping couldn't help but step forward and remind him, "Ms. Qi, it's getting late now. Isn't it time to prepare meals?"

Only then did Bu Bin realize that it was time for lunch, so she quickly ordered: "Quick, quick, quick, pass on the food quickly. And hurry up and have someone prepare water for the princess, the consort, and the children to wash up."

"Come on, I'll make the arrangements right now." Ji Heping quickly agreed and clapped his hands.

Hearing this, the maids and eunuchs outside the palace quickly came forward and removed the tea and snacks from the table one by one. Then one by one they presented basins and handkerchiefs and approached the masters.

After everything was put away, three generations of grandparents and a family of six sat on the Eight Immortals table.

Bu Bin was at the top, with Erdun and Eribala sitting on both sides. Next to Eribala sat Erbala and Garzang. Next to Garzang sat Princess Duanjing and Duanjing. Next to the princess is Erden.

Garzang grabbed his wife's hand under the table and secretly handed a jewelry box to his wife.

Princess Duanjing took the jewelry box and opened it. There was a jade bracelet inside. Princess Duanjing looked at her husband, and when he nodded, she stood up and walked to Bu Bin, presented the jewelry box, and said: "Mother, this bracelet is the same as the pair of mandarin duck jade bracelets. It was specially collected from outside. When I saw this bracelet, I wanted to present it to you, my mother-in-law. Take a look, it is said to have been passed down from the previous dynasty."

Concubine Bu took the jewelry box handed over by her daughter, opened it, and said proactively: "Why would you give such a good bracelet to me? You'd better put it away quickly and present it to the emperor after lunch." The Queen Mother is better." There was a sapphire five-bat bracelet embossed in the jewelry box. A quick look at it and Bu Bin knew it was an old item that had been handed down. The bracelet made of sapphire is also engraved with five vivid bats, which is extremely rare.

"Eniang, this is my consort's filial piety to you. How can you be so polite as to donate to the Queen Mother?" Princess Duanjing knew that her emiang said this for herself, but she still stopped her.

Bu Bin reached out to pick up the jade bracelet and said: "Not only is this an old item passed down from the previous dynasty, but the carving is extremely rare. Besides, the good omen of five blessings is not something that E Niang can enjoy. On the contrary, Why don't you donate it to your Queen Mother? Considering this rare item, your Queen Mother can treat you differently." Bu Bin said and put the sapphire relief five-bat bracelet back into the jewelry box. After covering it, he handed it back to Duan Jing.

"Mother, please accept it. This is also the wish of the princess, son-in-law and the children. As for the empress dowager, we have another gift for you." Garzang comforted her.

"Yes, E Niang, this is the wish of my daughter, my consort, and your grandchildren." Princess Duan Jing comforted her again.

……

When Wanxian woke up, it was already lunch time. She rubbed her eyes and was surprised to find Kangxi sitting next to her, who was reviewing memorials. Wanxian quietly opened the quilt and wanted to throw herself on Kangxi's back to scare him.

Unexpectedly, Wanxian had not yet taken action. Kangxi joked without looking back: "Where did this little lazy pig come from? He finally woke up after sleeping so deeply?"

Wanxian curled up her little mouth and stuck it on Kangxi's back, complaining boringly: "Really, I wanted to scare Lord Long live. But Lord Long live, you made a sound."

"This is fine, but it's not mine anymore. Okay, stop lying on my back, come into my arms, come quickly." Kangxi said in a dumbfounded voice.

Wanxian obediently let go of her hand and snuggled into Kangxi's arms.

Kangxi reached out and touched Wanxian's forehead, then kissed Wanxian's little face affectionately, and said dotingly: "It feels like you don't have a fever anymore, but are you hungry?"

Wanxian nodded quickly and said, "It's okay if Long Live Lord doesn't say anything. When you say that, I really feel a little hungry."

"Then I will tell them to prepare a meal. I also asked them to prepare the beggar's chicken you want to eat in the morning. Eat more later." Kangxi stroked Wanxian's hair lovingly.

"Okay. Long live my lord, I'm thirsty and I want to drink tea." Wanxian said, reaching out to pick up a cup of tea next to the memorial on the kang table.

Kangxi quickly stopped him and said, "Don't drink it. This is tea. If you drink it, you will inevitably get rid of the medicinal properties. Be good, I and the others have prepared warm water for you and it's on the kang cabinet. I'll pour it for you, okay?"

"Okay, but I want Long Live Master to feed me something to drink." Wanxian leaned into Kangxi's arms and said unruly and willfully.

"I'm sorry, but you have to remember it yourself. I can't do this for nothing. All of this will be counted as interest. When your illness is cured, I will charge interest." Kangxi looked at Wanxian knowingly. Said with a smile.

"Long live Lord, you are not serious." Kangxi's words, even Wanxian, no matter how ignorant she was, knew what they meant. Shy Hongxia instantly covered Wanxian's little face, and she shouted angrily.

Kangxi also knew that Wanxian was just a papery tiger that could be broken by a poke. He hugged Wanxian tightly with a smile, then turned slightly and reached out to pick up the teapot on the kang cabinet.

Wanxian leaned obediently in Kangxi's arms and watched the movements of Kangxi's hands.

Kangxi got a glass of warm water and fed it to Wanxian's mouth with his own hands.

Wanxian touched the water in the cup slightly with her lips, and found that the water temperature was just right, so she drank all the warm water in the cup.

Kangxi smiled and asked, "But I still want a glass."

Wanxian shook her head and said: "I don't want to drink anymore. Long live my Lord, I want to eat. I want to eat beggar's chicken."

"Okay, my darling needs to eat well, so that the disease can be cured faster. Whatever my darling wants to eat, he must eat it immediately. By then, both chicken legs will be my darling." Kangxi hugged Wan. After Xianhao felt tired for a while, he then turned to the outside and ordered the food to be passed around.

As soon as the servants guarding outside heard the sound coming from inside, they immediately started to move.

After a while, the slaves brought out plates of delicacies.

Wanxian looked at the food on the table and swallowed her saliva. After sleeping for so long, she was really hungry.

When all the dishes were served, Kangxi waved his hand again to signal the servants to leave.

The slaves didn't dare not listen and quickly exited the room one by one.

When everyone was gone, Kangxi rubbed Wanxian's little head and said, "Okay, eat quickly. You can eat whatever you want, but you have to drink a bowl of soup first to cushion your meal."

"Then Long live the Lord, give it to me," Wan Xian ordered unceremoniously.

Kangxi lightly pinched Wanxian's face and said indulgently: "You are the only one who dares to command me so confidently." Although he was complaining, his hands kept moving, and Kangxi stood up and bowed to Wanxian. A bowl of soup. (End of chapter)
