farmer's husband

Chapter 431
The last time Concubine An was punished by the queen to kneel down, she developed a high fever after returning home, which lasted for three days before the fever subsided slowly.

After the fever subsided, she stayed in bed for another five or six days before going out for a walk.Because of this, the queen has ridiculed her countless times, saying that she is too delicate.Thanks to the imperial concubine who came forward to protect her from time to time, she was able to continue to live in peace.

After learning about Concubine An's illness from King Liang on the third day of junior high school, Chai Dong took it to heart, and he didn't fall asleep almost all night in the third year of junior high school.Although he later found out that Anpin's fever had subsided and his body was gradually improving, he was still worried.But as a foreigner, he had no choice but to let Chun Zhi go.

Chun Zhi is actually very unwilling to deal with An Pin again.But seeing Chai Dong's hopeful face, she still nodded helplessly. "Understood, I will definitely find a chance to see her."

Chai Dong hastily let out a light breath, and he held her hand. "Then it's hard work for you, lady. When you come back from the palace, my husband will definitely make up for you."

He also knew that she and An Bin were at odds.But one is his sister who is close to him by blood, and the other is his first wife. Between these two, he has no way to choose.

Chun Zhi just pouted.

In a blink of an eye, it is the Lantern Festival.

Since she was going to enter the palace to enjoy the lanterns at night, Chunzhi rushed to make a big pot of glutinous rice balls during the day, and the whole family ate them together. Then she handed the two children to Chunya to watch, and then she reluctantly entered the palace. went.

Since Yuzhang regained her vitality, the Empress Dowager's spirit has also improved a lot.

When Chun Zhi entered the palace, he saw her crouching on the imperial concubine's couch, watching the big dog and kitten playing together with a smile on her face.

Chun Zhi stepped forward to salute, and the queen mother waved to her, letting her come to her.

"On the first day of the first day of junior high school, Aijia was too tired, and I felt comfortable listening to you talk, and fell asleep without knowing it. This is really rude. This is Aijia's fault! Therefore, Aijia has to give you some compensation." The Queen Mother smiled and said, then looked at her again, "Tell me, what do you want?"

Again.

Why can't her old man just reward her with some gold, silver and jewelry?Then he took it home directly, left some to support the appearance, and exchanged the rest for money.All she needs now is money!
She and Concubine Liang have already invested a lot of money in preparing to open the store recently.Princess Qin is the backer of their shop, so she doesn't care about anything.By the way, she evened out that shop from her own name, and then handed over the title deed to Princess Liang, and then she didn't ask any more questions.The decoration of the shop, the labor inside, and various embroidery pieces, as well as the cat and dog toy shop next to it, these are all Chunzhi and Princess Liang who are racking their brains.

Although there is some money in Prince Liang's mansion, Concubine Liang also expressed her willingness to give all the money away.But Chunzhi Chaidong is an elder, how could they have the nerve to oppress the younger generation like this?Therefore, they still insisted on sharing the expenses equally with Princess Liang.

It is also because of this that now they are clinking poor again.

However, for a person like the Queen Mother who has never had to worry about food and clothing since childhood, she probably doesn't know what it feels like to be poor, right?It's not good for me to ask for money so blatantly.

Chunzhi had no choice but to whisper, "My wife really has a merciless request."

"What, you say." The queen mother nodded immediately.

"I heard that my aunt was sick a while ago? I don't know if she is well now. I want to see her."

"Your aunt...oh, it's Concubine An!" The queen mother finally realized, "Is Concubine An sick? Why doesn't the Ai family know?"

"Back to the queen mother, she is ill. But she is already cured." The maid next to her quickly explained.

"Oh, that's good." The Queen Mother nodded.She never cared much about those low-level concubines.So now that she knew that An Bin had recovered from her illness, she didn't care even more.

However, since Chunzhi now proposed to see Concubine An, it was just a matter of little effort for the Queen Mother, and she had to agree.

The queen mother thought for a while, and then she nodded: "It's a big festival, and everyone should get together to have a good time. Then let's ask someone to bring Anpin with me, and let her accompany us to watch it together. Deng, this can be regarded as creating an opportunity for you sister-in-law and sister-in-law to have a good talk."

The corner of Chun Zhi's mouth twitched again.

She just wanted to see An Bin, as long as she was sure she was fine, she didn't want to spend too long with An Bin, let alone talk to her, okay?

The empress dowager's arrangement is a bit too considerate... It's too considerate!
Chunzhi smiled wryly in his heart, but he still had a grateful expression on his face to thank the Queen Mother: "In this case, that would be the best. My wife, thank you Queen Mother!"

"It's nothing, it's just a matter of raising your hands." The queen mother waved her hand, but a smile appeared on her face.

She was very satisfied to be able to help Chun Zhi.

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, someone around her was already sending a message to An Bin.

After a while, An Bin came over.

"The concubine has met the empress dowager." She Shi Shiran bowed to the empress dowager.

It was indeed a serious illness, and An Bin had lost a lot of weight compared to a year ago, and she looked a little empty in such thick clothes in the cold weather.Her face was also a little smaller, her chin was pointed, her eyes were big, and she was extremely innocent and pitiful.

This appearance is somewhat similar to Chai Dong whom Chun Zhi met for the first time.

Although they are all in the palace and have lived together for more than ten years, this is the first time the Queen Mother has seen Concubine An.

She took a closer look at An Bin's appearance, then nodded: "He is indeed a lovely person, King Liang looks a lot like you."

Anpin quickly bowed her head. "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your compliment."

The queen waved her hand again. "Okay, get up!"

But in the harem, there are not a few such lovely people, and the queen mother has become numb after seeing too much.So after she casually boasted, she no longer paid any attention to An Bin.

At this time, Harue had no choice but to bite the bullet and lean closer slowly.

"Sister, I heard that you were sick before, how are you doing now?"

In front of outsiders, Anpin really looked considerate again.

She smiled at Chun Zhi: "It's okay, I'm already healed. Actually, it's just a little problem. It's just because I'm in the deep palace, you can't see it, and because those who spread the word exaggerate, you really think that something is wrong with me. Actually I'm fine! People who eat whole grains will definitely get sick, and I'm just an ordinary person!"

Chunzhi saw that although she was thin, she was in good spirits, so she felt relieved.

The two of them exchanged a few words in embarrassment, and someone from the emperor's side had already arrived. "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the carriage of the Empress Dowager is ready to start, and the Emperor specially ordered the servants to invite you to travel together."

"Quite." The Queen Mother nodded.

As a result, everyone in the Compassionate Ning Palace also got busy.

The queen mother is getting old, and she doesn't like to move all these years, she just likes to tease the dog in the bedroom.But last year, because her two dogs died and the other fell ill, the Queen Mother became even more depressed.Finally, the sick dog is cured now, and the queen mother gradually recovered her cheerfulness, so the emperor invited her out of the palace to watch the lanterns, as a way to cheer her up and get rid of last year's bad luck.

The Queen Mother readily agreed.

Speaking of which, the queen mother has not been out of the palace to watch lanterns for many years.Originally, the emperor just mentioned it casually, and didn't expect the queen mother to agree.In the end, the Queen Mother actually agreed!He was suddenly ecstatic, and he took this matter very seriously.

When the Empress Dowager travels, she will naturally take a chariot.Chun Zhi and the arrangement were not high-ranking, but because they were specially recruited by the Empress Dowager, the two followed the Empress Dowager's chariot, and then surrounded by a group of court ladies and eunuchs, they arrived at the gate of the palace in a mighty manner.

At this time, the emperor, empress, imperial concubine, prince Qin Wang and other people have all arrived.

The queen mother came over, and the emperor and queen came to greet her in person.

Then, the emperor supported the empress dowager to the high platform, followed by the imperial concubine, the prince and others, and then Chunzhi, concubine An and some wives summoned by the empress and others.

Every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the imperial court hangs lanterns on the street in front of the palace to have fun with the people, and this year is no exception.

When they went out of the palace gate, they saw that a large platform had been set up in front of them, the platform was as high as the Qianqing Palace, and it was covered with all kinds of delicate lanterns from bottom to top.

Climbing up the steps, the top is already full of people.Chun Zhi and An Bin could only find a corner and barely stopped.

And as early as after the queen mother was picked up by the emperor, An Pin had put away the tenderness on her face, and became indifferent to Chun Zhi again.

Chun Zhi had already made mental preparations, so she was not as sad as the previous few times.

Standing on a high platform, although the position is not very good, the view is much more magnificent than that seen from below.Looking around, there is a sea of ​​lanterns below, all kinds of lanterns are competing for splendor and beauty.There are also a few big ones, which are even more exquisite, and it is the first time Chunzhi has seen such a beautiful lantern.

When the emperor stepped onto the stage, all the people below knelt down in unison and shouted long live three times, with a loud voice.Although it wasn't him who they bowed down to, Chun Zhiren felt the great shock at the high place.

After the people bowed down, some craftsmen began to light fireworks below.This is specially made for the Lantern Festival, especially for the royal relatives and relatives.

Seeing the flames flying into the sky, and then splitting and transforming into vivid shapes, Harue could barely turn his eyes away.

It is indeed good to be a master!There are so many privileges to enjoy.She thought to herself.

Just as she was indulging in the shock caused by the continuous fireworks, she suddenly felt someone pushing her violently.Then, a voice shouted beside her ear: "Be careful, Queen Mother!"
