Chapter 101
"Uh...this...isn't that good." Jing Se felt like laughing at Haohao's sudden move, although she wanted to say yes, but at this time, she had to put on a face. passable.

"Promise, promise!" Haohao rushed over and hugged her waist, his small mouth was as sweet and crisp as a freshly picked pear, "You look so good-looking, don't you just want to recognize your mother for Haohao?" Is it?"

Old Prince Chu rubbed his forehead helplessly.

Princess Chu also couldn't help laughing, but she was more worried. She was worried that Jing Se would not like this child, and even had opinions on him.

"Girl Se." Princess Chu said in a low voice, "This child is more lively, so don't take it too seriously."

Jing Se smiled, and reached out to caress Haohao's head, "No, I think he is very well-behaved, with such a sweet little mouth, I think he is also very smart, the second master can pick up such a child, Good luck."

"Mother~"

Haohao grinned softly and yelled, pouted and kissed Jingse on the cheek with a "boo", which made the old prince of Chu feel disgusted, "Stinky boy, there is no rule about recognizing a mother." , what the master taught you these two days, you have learned it in vain, right?"

Hearing the words, Haohao stuck out his tongue in secret, and then he was willing to let go of Jingse, and stood upright in front of her, bent his knees, knelt down, and made a grand salute, "Haohao has seen mother."

After all, he knocked his head three times.

Jing Se hurriedly got up to help him, "Get up quickly, the ground is very cold, it will be bad if you freeze your little body."

After Haohao stood up, he personally poured tea for Jingse and brought it over, "Mother, please have some tea."

"So cute." Jing Se took the teacup with a smile, took a sip, and then said with a smile: "The tea that Hao Hao personally poured is fragrant."

Seeing this, Princess Chu relaxed her heartstrings that had been tensed for a long time, and asked again: "Girl Se, can you have dinner?"

"It's already been used." Jing Se said: "I came here specially for the follow-up consultation of Brahma Shizi. I haven't seen him today, but he's not at the house?" If he wasn't there, it was just right, and she went straight back to the house.

"He is here." Princess Chu said: "I saw him go to the study just now, so I will ask someone to invite him."

"Thank you, Princess." Jing Se stood up and saluted.

"You child, you don't need to be so polite." Princess Chu stepped forward, took her hands, and asked her warmly again.

Jing Se listened patiently, always with a faint smile on her face, and answered every question of Princess Chu carefully.

Not long after, the maid who had gone to the study to invite Fanchen came back, stood outside the door and reported in a low voice, "My lord, Shizi said he won't be coming, let Miss Jing come over to see him in person."

Jing Se knew that Fan Chen would say this, she smiled slightly, looked at Princess Chu and the old prince Chu, "My lord, my concubine, even though I have a marriage contract with the prince, after all, I haven't gotten married yet, and the rules are stuck. There, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go to him for a follow-up visit alone, what do you two think?"

Princess Chu also felt that something was wrong. Although there were only a few masters in the Chu Palace, she didn't care about those cumbersome rules, but since Jing Se had brought it up, it was impossible for her as a mother-in-law to stand on the side of her son. Told Jing Se to meet him in the past.

After thinking for a while, Princess Chu said to the maidservant who answered: "Go and tell Xiao Shen to stop being a moth and come here earlier, otherwise, I will let girl Se go home directly."

The maid quickly withdrew.

Jing Se sat down again, and Haohao also sat down beside her.

Jing Se looked sideways, with doting eyes in her eyes, and asked him, "I heard that Brahma Shizi hired you a teacher, how is your homework these two days?"

Haohao raised his head with confidence, "Mother, Haohao is studying hard every day, Mr. likes Haohao so much."

"Really?" Jing Se showed a surprised and pleasant expression.

Haohao said: "If mother doesn't believe it, you can ask grandpa. Grandpa will personally check Haohao's homework every day."

Old Prince Chu took the opportunity to say: "Haohao, go back to the study and do your homework, otherwise when Boy Shen comes over and sees you being lazy, you will definitely have nothing to eat."

Haohao stood up and bowed to Jing Se, "Mother, then Haohao will leave now."

"Go ahead, study hard!" Jing Se looked at him with a smile, and watched him leave the main hall.

Not long after, the maidservant who spoke earlier came back.

Seeing that there was no one behind her, Princess Chu couldn't help frowning, "Why, Xiao Shen still refuses to come?"

The servant girl shook her head, "Your Majesty, Master Shizi said, let the servant girl first ask Miss Jing, after watching it for so long, is she sure that he can fully recover today?"

Princess Chu looked at Jing Se helplessly.

Jingse's face was stunned for a moment, and then she returned to indifference, "Then you go back and tell the son, Jingse is a mortal born and bred, and I have never done such a thing as a prophet, and I can't do it."

The maid quickly passed Jing Se's original words to Fan Chen in the study.

In the study, Fanchen listened, and slowly put the pen on the pen hill, looked up at the red plum blossoms outside the window, and slanted his lips, "Don't you understand the prophets? The major events that happened in Jinling City in the past two days, isn't it She, a divine fortune teller, did the calculations?"

Looking away after a while, Fan Chen got up and walked out of the study, walking slowly and gracefully to the courtyard of Old Prince Chu.

Seeing him finally, Princess Chu breathed a sigh of relief.

Fan Chen walked to the center of the hall, bowed and saluted, "I have seen Grandpa, I have seen Mother and Concubine."

Old Prince Chu gave him a sideways look, "Boy Shen, girl Se has been waiting for such a long time, what are you still doing behind the scenes?"

"Back to Grandpa." Fan Chen smiled gently, "I just asked Miss Jing about my condition. She is a doctor who specializes in treating my illness. How dare I show off in front of her?"

Old Prince Chu snorted softly, "That's the best, don't waste other people's time, just sit down and show her."

Fan Chen always had a smile on his face, sat beside Jing Se according to his words, stretched out his wrist veins to the small table, and looked at Jing Se with his phoenix eyes.

Jingse's heartbeat suddenly accelerated after being stared at by him like this, and she even felt her cheeks were hot, which was extremely unnatural.

With her head lowered, Jing Se calmed herself down in the shortest possible time, slowly raised her eyes and looked at Fan Chen, and said in a low voice, "Before taking the pulse, can I ask the son a few questions first?"

"But it doesn't matter." Fan Chen smiled.

Jing Se said: "I want to know how many things you can't remember now."

Fan Shen was silent for a moment, and Jing Se said again: "You have to tell the truth, otherwise I can't continue to treat you."

"I don't remember much." Fan Chen's face became more gentle and elegant, with a slight smile, "For example, one night six years ago, or how I fell down the stairs in Huaqiao Town."

Jing Se's face was a little stiff, "Just... don't remember this?" Why does she feel that he remembers it all, and now he is just trying to test her and trick her?

"There are many more." Fan Shen said: "If Miss Jing wants to hear, I can tell you one by one in detail."

"No, no need." Jing Se continued to smile stiffly: "I just have a general understanding of the situation, so I can prescribe the right medicine. Since you still don't remember so many things, you can't rush to recover, you have to take your time Conditioning, if you act too hastily, it may backfire."

Fan Chen nodded in agreement, "You are right, take your time, one day, I will remember everything, right?"

Jing Se nodded with a stiff head, but she felt a little guilty in her heart. She only had a general understanding of Fan Chen's temperament in her previous life, and knew that she should not be close to him, but she couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

The two fought back and forth for a few more words before Jing Se put his fingertips on his pulse. The pulse was stable and beat four times in one breath, neither floating nor sinking, gentle and powerful, which was the pulse of a normal person.

Jing Se frowned slightly. Since it was the pulse of a normal person, it proved that he had almost recovered. How could there be so many things that he could not remember?

Jing Se withdrew her fingers calmly, raised her eyebrows and said, "The pulse of Fan Shizi is indeed not stable. It seems that it will take a long time to fully recover."

Fan Shen said: "Then, from now on there will be Miss Lao Jing."

Jing Se turned back very politely, "No trouble, because I will prescribe a new prescription later, replacing the few medicines in the previous prescription, and I won't have to come here every day in the future, I will only come every three or four days. will come."

Seeing that Fan Chen was about to speak, she hurriedly said again: "I've done the calculations. It takes more than half an hour on one side from Youxiang's Mansion to King Chu's Mansion. If I run back and forth like this every day, at least two hours are wasted on the road. Yes, if things go on like this, I am physically and mentally exhausted, and it is inevitable that I will not be able to do what I want when I take the pulse of Fan Shizi. If I prescribe the wrong prescription and prick the wrong needle, causing something wrong with Shizi, it will be my fault, so I will change the prescription to influence you Now that most of it has recovered, I don't need to be taken care of every day, I did this for your sake, what do you think?"

Fan Chen nodded lightly, "Very good."

Jing Se felt relieved, "Then it's settled."

"But..." Fan Chen changed the subject, and Jing Se's heartstrings that had just been relaxed suddenly pulled up, and she looked at him nervously, fearing that he would come up with something to punish her again.

"You have to follow me into the palace later." Fan Chen finished leisurely.

"What, what?" Jing Se didn't react for a moment.

Fan Chen met her puzzled eyes, suddenly smiled and said: "Do you remember what you promised the Queen Mother?"

Jing Se thought for a while, and said, "Didn't you agree that I would come to Chu Palace to see you every day in Yongshou Palace?"

"You're right." Fan Chen said, "You promised the Empress Dowager that you would come to Chu Palace every day, but today you said that you would only come back every three or four days in the future. Sitting here, I, my concubine and I Grandpa naturally knows that it's because I've mostly recovered so I don't need to check my pulse so frequently, but the Queen Mother doesn't know about it, so is it necessary for you to explain it yourself?"

Jing Se thought for a while, and what Fan Chen said was not unreasonable. If she didn't go into the palace to explain, in case she didn't come to the Chu Palace tomorrow, someone with a heart would take advantage of her and go to the Queen Mother to file a complaint, then wouldn't she be in vain? Wronged?

Thinking of this, Jing Se nodded, "Okay then, I'll go to the palace to explain in a while."

Glancing at Fan Chen, Jing Se said again: "In my opinion, the son of Fan Shi doesn't have to go?"

"Miss Jing has only entered the palace once, if I don't accompany you, can you find the way?" Fan Chen smiled at her.

Jing Se continued to decline: "I don't know the way in the palace, but there are many people in the palace who know the way. I can let someone lead the way. I believe it is not difficult to find Yongshou Palace."

Fan Shen smiled lowly, then looked at her, and said, "So, Miss Jing, do you know that the imperial palace is not a place you can enter if you want?"

"Yes." Jing Se raised her eyebrows, "Of course I can't come in and out of the holy land of the palace at will, but unfortunately, I happen to have such a cousin who is the third son of the Holy One. It seems that it is not difficult to enter the palace?"

Hearing Jing Se mentioning Gu Beiyu, Fan Chen's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, his lips tightened, showing a bit of displeasure, but it was only for a moment, and after a while, he returned to normal, as warm as jade before.

He said: "You go to the queen mother alone and say, do you think she can believe you?"

Jingse choked.

From the looks of it, the Empress Dowager seemed to favor Fan Chen. If she asked Gu Beiyu to take her into the palace to meet the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager would not be able to see Fan Chen's real situation, so she would inevitably be suspicious.

Thinking of this, Jing Se was immediately discouraged and resentful.

After fighting for a long time, she still had to go to the palace with him to meet the queen mother in the end.

Why can't she get rid of this person? She owed him in her previous life?
Fan Chen also moved quickly, seeing that Jing Se no longer refuted, he immediately sent someone to prepare the carriage.

Standing up, he said: "I don't think there is any need to delay, let's start now, lest Miss Jing will say that she is exhausted physically and mentally, and has no choice but to go."

This can be regarded as a satire of what Jingse said earlier.

In front of Concubine Chu and Old Prince Chu, Jing Se couldn't say anything, so she could only raise her eyes and give him a hard look.

Fan Chen turned a blind eye, said goodbye to Princess Chu and Old Prince Chu, and went out.

Jing se also stood up to say goodbye.

After Jing Se left the room, Concubine Chu looked away from her back, looked at the old prince Chu, and asked doubtfully, "Father, do you feel that Xiao Shen is a little strange today?"

Old Prince Chu didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, so he hummed twice, "When you are in front of girl Se, is boy Shen not strange?"

Princess Chu choked, and thought about it carefully, it seems that this is really the case.The last time Jingse came, Princess Chu was not at the mansion. Later, I heard from the maids that Fanchen asked Jingse to cook for him. At that time, Princess Chu was so shocked that she thought it was a maid. They chewed their tongues indiscriminately, and then confirmed it again and again before believing it.

Seeing these two people bickering when they met today, Princess Chu was also shocked.

She had no idea that Fan Chen, who was usually reticent, had the patience to talk so much to Jing Se. If it was someone else, he might not even bother to answer.

In addition to being shocked, Princess Chu was also a little elated.

Fan Chen is so special to Jing Se, does it mean that he cares about Jing Se?
Thinking of this, Princess Chu felt even more relieved, as long as the two could get married in the end, no matter how much they bickered, it would be fine.

Jing Se followed Fan Shen out of the gate of King Chu's mansion, Yingluo was a little surprised when she saw the two of them coming out together, she stepped forward and asked Jing Se in a low voice, "Miss Biao, what are you and Prince Fan doing? "

Jing Se said, "Enter the palace."

Yingluo was shocked, "Enter, enter the palace?"

"Don't talk too much." Jing Se signaled her, "Hurry up and drive the carriage from our house, I'm in a hurry, and I don't have time to waste here."

Yingluo came back to her senses, and immediately trotted over to let the coachman drive the carriage over.

Fan Chen had already got into the carriage of Prince Chu's mansion and took a step ahead, and Jing Se also quickly got into the carriage of Youxiang's mansion and followed closely behind.

Yingluo sat across from Jingse, hesitated to speak several times.

Jing Se saw it, and knew what she wanted to ask, so she simply said truthfully: "Most of Brahma's son has recovered, logically speaking, I, a doctor, should go to the palace to report."

Yingluo suddenly realized, "So that's the case, Miss Biao is really competent."

"Are you competent?" Jing Se asked.

"That's right." Yingluo covered her lips and smiled, "There are three patients in your hands, Miss Jing San, Miss Lou and Prince Fan. You are so busy every day that you are so thoughtful that you want to go to the palace to report to the empress dowager. What is this if you are not competent?"

Jing Se thought about it carefully, "If you say that, I also think I'm very competent."

The carriage soon arrived at Xuanwumen.

Jing Se lifted the curtain and came down, and when she saw Fan Chen, she was waiting not far away.

Yingluo said: "Miss Biao, this servant can't accompany you in, so be careful."

"I know, you wait outside obediently, and I will come out in a short time." Jing Se explained, and then walked slowly towards the gate of the palace.

When Fan Chen saw Jing Se following up, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He was extremely gentle and approachable, not at all as superior and unattainable as the poisonous talker Jing Se knew in his previous life.

If she hadn't known for a long time that this is a master who is gentle on the outside but dark on the inside, Jing Se might be dazzled by this smile.

Walking in front of Fan Chen, Jing Se said, "Didn't Master Fan come to lead the way? Why don't you keep going?"

Fan Chen pointed behind Jing Se with his eyes, "There is someone behind you."

Jing Se was stunned for a moment, then turned around, and saw Gu Gan in a bright yellow python robe walking towards this side.

Seeing his calm demeanor, Jing Se knew that Jing Yuhuan hadn't started to expose Gu Gan's account book before she started to expose Gu Qian's account book. She collected her thoughts and gave a blessing, "My daughter has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing Jing Se and Fan Chen appearing at the gate of the palace at the same time, Gu Qian was very surprised, "Miss Jing, is this going to enter the palace?"

"Yes." Jing Se said bluntly, "Go to see the Empress Dowager."

Gu Qian didn't know that Fan Chen had already recovered most of his recovery. His eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling glanced around Fan Chen, and finally returned to Jing Se, "It just so happens that I also want to see the imperial grandmother. Since I happen to meet you We're here, so Miss Jing won't mind if we go together?"

"She minds very much." Before Jing Se could speak, Fan Chen took Gu Gan's words.

Jing Se frowned, but it was undeniable that what Fan Chen said was true, and she very much minded being with Gu Gan.

As soon as she saw his legs, she remembered that she had worked hard for several years to make him fully recovered and able to go to the ground. In the end, he turned his face and refused to recognize anyone, and gave her a miserable end with a decapitated body.

What Gu Gan said on the execution ground is still deeply imprinted in Jing Se's mind.

He said: "Xiamu, believe me, no man in this world is willing to marry a woman who is stronger than himself. Living in the shadow of a woman will be the tragedy of a man's life."

very good!

Now that he has changed his body, facing this extremely hypocritical man again, Jing Se suddenly smiled. Doesn't he dislike women who are too strong?

In this life, she must live a stronger life than when she was a female figure, so that he will not be able to escape Xia Mu's shadow for the rest of his life!

Slowly raising the corners of her lips, Jing Se followed Fan Chen's words and said, "Yes, I really mind."

Gu Qian's face froze, and Xiu's eyes narrowed. He fixedly looked at the woman in front of him. From the first meeting in Jingzhao Mansion that day to the reunion at the plum appreciating feast, and this chance meeting at the palace gate, she She has never given him a good look, even now in the imperial palace, on the territory of the Tian family, she is still the first to see her, indifferent and alienated, stubborn and stubborn, unwilling to bow her head easily.

Especially those eyes...

Looking at Jing Se's eyes, Gu Qian was once again shocked that someone in this world really had the same eyes as Xia Mu's.

The same spirit and brilliance, the same clarity and wisdom, the same... makes people fear for no reason.

Pulling back his thoughts, Gu Gan said: "I ask myself that I have never offended Miss Jing, so why are you so indifferent and reject people thousands of miles away?"

"His Royal Highness, I'm really sorry." Jing Se expressed her apology appropriately, "I don't have the habit of walking with foreign men, let alone..."

Jing Se didn't continue talking, but deliberately took a deep look at Fan Chen, the meaning of which was self-evident: she came with her fiancé, how could she agree to go with another man?

Gu Gan glanced at Fan Chen, and suddenly smiled, "Miss Jing is probably overthinking, Fan Shizi has always been magnanimous, but he is just in the same profession, how could he even mind such a trivial matter?"

"It seems that His Royal Highness has misunderstood me quite a bit." Fan Chen stepped forward two steps, calmly blocked Gu Gan's sight from looking at Jing Se, he raised his lips and smiled, "My magnanimity is not right to others, Especially when it comes to His Royal Highness, I prefer to haggle over everything."

Listening to Fan Chen's tone of voice, Gu Gan's expression slowly changed, his brows were slightly frowned, "Why, Master Fan has already recovered?"

"Not really." Fan Shen said: "But when I see His Royal Highness, I can barely recognize him."

Gu Qian knew that Fan Chen was not easy to deal with in normal times, and he wanted to leave now so as not to cause trouble, but for some reason, when he looked at Jing Se, he felt a strange emotion inexplicably: in front of Jing Se, he I don't want to lose to Fan Chen, and I don't want her to see a joke.

Therefore, Gu Gan, who was about to walk away, collected himself, stood still, and looked at Fan Chen again, "Since he has not fully recovered, what is the son of Fan came to the palace in such a hurry? You are not afraid of saying something wrong Did you offend the imperial grandmother by saying something or doing something wrong?"

"There is no need for His Royal Highness to worry about this." Fan Chen tilted his head to look at Jing Se, his eyes showed a doting look, "With such a smart and wise fiancee, even if the sky falls, she will stand up for it. What am I afraid of?"

After hearing this, Gu Gan couldn't help but sneer in his tone, "The Vatican is a man of seven feet. He doesn't rely on the sky, the ground, and his own body, but on a weak woman who has no strength to restrain a chicken. Does this seem a bit thick-skinned?"

"Thank you." Fan Chen's smile deepened, "Your Highness is thin-skinned, be careful of being pierced by broken porcelain."

This is an insinuation of the disfigurement of the crown prince's side concubine Jing Wanbai who has not been married.

Jing Se sighed secretly, Fan Chen's mouth is really poisonous!
However, at this moment, the poison is at the right time, at least Jing Se feels refreshed when hearing these words, this is the way to deal with people like Gu Gan!

Gu Gan's complexion really changed, and he suddenly looked at Jing Se and asked her: "Miss Jing's weak hands can hold up the sky for Brahma?"

Jing Se didn't answer, but Fan Chen answered, "Of course I can. What I want is just the sky above her head. If she is here, I can keep me safe and always. If she dies, I will die. Does the prince even care about this?"

Gu Gan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and an extremely strange emotion arose spontaneously. After taking a fixed look at the two of them, he snorted unwillingly, and walked away in a flash.

After Gu Gan left, Jing Se frowned and looked at Fan Chen, "His Royal Highness is right, Prince Fan is a bit thick-skinned." He is a big man, and he wants a weak woman like her to protect him?Are you dreaming?

Fan Chen raised his eyebrows with a smile, "Miss Jing is protecting you, so it doesn't matter if you are thick-skinned, under your protection, no one dares to do anything to me."

Jingse frowned even deeper, "When did I say I wanted to protect you?"

Fan Chen thought for a while and said, "Just now."

Seeing Jing Se's black face, he added slowly, "In front of the prince, you didn't refute my words."

Jing Se said: "No rebuttal doesn't mean admitting it? I just pretend I didn't hear it at all."

"Really?" Fan Chen looked at her, "You didn't hear it, so why did you say I have a thick skin?"

"... Pretend I didn't say it." Once again being entangled by him, Jing Se was so depressed that she didn't bother to pick words with him, turned around and left.

Fan Chen was obviously in a happy mood, with a faint smile on his bright red lips from time to time, walking beside her, with a tall and handsome figure, and slow and graceful steps, he looked like a banished fairy above the clouds.

Jing Se withdrew her gaze, thinking to herself that this person has acquired good acting skills, his appearance is not obvious at all, but he is actually black-hearted, and his words are poisonous, he is an out-and-out disaster!

From the corner of his eyes, Fan Chen caught a glimpse of her grinding her teeth, and smiled without a trace.

The two of them had nothing to say all the way, and they arrived at Yongshou Palace not long after.

The big palace lady guarding in front of the palace quickly went in to report.

Although the Empress Dowager did not expect these two people to enter the palace together suddenly, she was quite pleasantly surprised and immediately asked someone to come out and answer.

"Young Master Fan, Miss Jing, the Empress Dowager has invited you into the palace." The palace lady bowed respectfully to the two of them.

Jing Se smiled politely, "Thank you, sister."

"Slaves don't dare." The Grand Palace Maid was so frightened that she knelt again.

Jing Se said no more, and followed the little maid leading the way to the main hall.

Fan Chen looked at the plaque of "Yongshou Palace", raised his eyebrows, and followed Jing Se.

The Empress Dowager was seated at the top, looking at Fan, Shen and Jingse who came in, a smile appeared on her kind face, "Xiao Shen, why did you think of Yongshou Palace to visit Aijia today?"

Fan Chen's face was warm, and he replied with a smile: "The mirror has mostly recovered, so it should be time to enter the palace to announce the good news to the Empress Dowager."

"Oh?" After listening to the Queen Mother, she was really happy, and looked at Jing Se again, "Girl Se, is what Xiao Shen said true?"

"Returning to the Empress Dowager, the son of Brahma has indeed recovered more than half of his recovery. From now on, he does not need to see a doctor every day, but only once every three or four days." Jing Se said respectfully.

"That's great. As soon as Xiao Shen recovers, the Ai family will feel relieved." After the queen mother finished speaking, she glanced at the waists of the two of them and asked suspiciously: "Why don't you be the same as Xiao Shen? What about the pair of mandarin ducks that Dai Ai's family gave you last time?"

As soon as the queen mother said it, Jing Se suddenly remembered that she had put that jade pendant in her dowry after she went back last time, and she had forgotten all about it now, besides, she never expected to enter the palace suddenly when she went out in the morning, so how could she have time to wear that jade pendant? Plant something?
After calming down, Jing Se replied with a smile: "The objects bestowed by the Empress Dowager are naturally extremely precious. The ministers have to go to the Chu Palace to see the Brahma Prince every day. , the courtier has locked the jade pendant in the dowry box."

The queen mother suddenly realized, and then said: "It's better to wear it, it has a good meaning and auspiciousness, and it is also Aijia's hope for the two of you to be united for a hundred years in the future."

Jing Se nodded in response, her expression was in a trance for a moment, the queen mother in front of her was the princess sent by the Dongli Kingdom for marriage when the first emperor had not yet ascended the Great Treasure and was still the King of Yan.

Logically speaking, the Empress Dowager should be united with her own son, Taihe Emperor, and regard the Chu Palace as a hidden danger for the country, but the Queen Mother is obviously biased towards the Chu Palace.

This in the end is why?

Regarding this matter, Jing Se has always been very puzzled, because even when she was a woman in her previous life, she couldn't find any clues.

However, she could vaguely feel that there must be some secret hidden here, and it would definitely not be as simple as it seemed on the surface, otherwise it would be too unreasonable.

After some politeness, the queen mother asked Fan Chen and Jing Se to give seats respectively, and then asked: "Girl Se, the Ai family heard that your third younger sister was injured, and I don't know how she is recovering?"

Jing Se reported truthfully: "The third younger sister was seriously injured, and it is impossible to recover in a short period of time. It is hoped that she will fully recover after slowly recuperating in the later stage."

The queen mother frowned, "Which part did she hurt?"

"Face." Jingse said.

"This is terrible." The queen mother sighed, "My daughter's family is more beautiful than the sky. If she is injured so badly, wouldn't she have to delay her life? That would be a pity."

Jing Se could understand this sentence, the Queen Mother was implying that once Jing Wan Bai's face was really disfigured, the Crown Prince would not be able to marry her again, because the incomplete appearance is an insult to the royal family.

With light in her eyes, Jing Se said, "I hope that the third sister will be lucky."

The Queen Mother seemed reluctant to continue this topic, and instead said: "Girl Se, I heard that you have been recuperating in Wangyou Valley for several years. Can you cook tea?"

Jing Se nodded, "I know a thing or two."

After hearing this, the queen mother laughed and said: "You two have been here for so long, and Ai's family didn't ask anyone to refill tea, just because you want to taste Se girl's handicraft, and Xiao Shen has never tasted Se girl's handicraft, right?"

Fan Chen nodded of course.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Then today you are lucky."

After finishing speaking, he waved at Jing Se, "Se girl, come here."

Jing Se got up, "If the Empress Dowager doesn't dislike it, then the courtiers will find it ugly in front of you."

After she finished speaking, she walked forward slowly, and the maid beside the queen mother had already prepared the tea set, tea leaves and clean water.

Jing Se didn't move those tea sets in the first place, but squatted down, and cleaned the inside of the hearth lightly, sprinkled wet ash by the way, and then asked someone to fetch three or two red-hot short charcoals as a primer and put them into the bottom of the hearth. Only then did I start to clean my hands and dry them. I took tea cakes, crushed them and put them in a tea bowl, then scooped an appropriate amount of clean water into the kettle and placed it on the ground stove.

Her expression was extremely serious, as if her whole body and mind had been devoted to ordering tea.

Fan Chen clasped his index and middle fingers on the armrest of the seat without rhythm, and the eyes staring at her flickered a few times, and a faint smile overflowed his lips, which disappeared in an instant.

Jing Se kept staring at the hearth, and when the three charcoal fires of the primer just burned a thin layer of carbon ash, she immediately added charcoal for the first time.

Seeing that Jingse could calculate the timing of adding charcoal so accurately, the queen mother was very satisfied, and secretly signaled the maids not to disturb her, just watch from a distance.

At this time, Jing Se has no other distractions, her mind is highly concentrated, and her eyes are fixed on the change of the color of the charcoal in the furnace, lest she misses the time to add charcoal and the water temperature will become unbalanced.

When she was in Wangyou Valley in her previous life, she learned how to make tea with her master Zongzheng Chu, and she knew the importance of timely adjusting the heat and maintaining the water temperature.

After adding charcoal for the second time, the sound of water in the cauldron became louder. Jingse turned away her eyes and listened to the sound of water with her ears. If you observe the process of boiling water with the naked eye, it is difficult to grasp the precise degree of boiling water, you have to use your ears listen.

Jingse has practiced countless times in Wangyou Valley before, and she is already proficient. Listening to the water is not difficult for her at all.

After the water boiled for a moment, Jingse quickly took off the kettle, and after a while, poured boiling water into the tea bowl that had been filled with tea leaves to make a paste. After taking the bamboo whisk, he continued to boil the water in the tea bowl while stirring it with the bamboo whisk As a result, the tea leaves floated up to form porridge noodles. With Jingse’s continuous dripping of water and slight agitation, landscapes and clouds appeared on the water surface in a short time, like elegant ink paintings, and turned into flowers, birds and fish after a while The shape of the worm.

The Empress Dowager stood up abruptly, watching this scene intently, unable to hide her shock.

Even Fan Chen, who has always been calm, couldn't help being slightly moved.

From controlling the precise timing of adding charcoal, to listening to the sound of boiling water, to using the height of the spout and gestures to create different scenes on the soup surface when ordering tea.

Such precise and superb tea cooking skills, people who know a little bit will definitely not be able to reach this level!

The queen mother froze on the spot for a moment, and it was not until Jing Se brought the tea soup that she pulled her back from her thoughts.

"The Empress Dowager, please have some tea." Jing Se smiled and spoke respectfully.

The queen mother sat back again, and when she looked at Jing Se again, her eyes were a little more inquiring.

Slowly taking the teacup, the Queen Mother took a sip, and then couldn't stop nodding her head in praise, "Girl Se, how can you know a thing or two? You are clearly an expert in this field."

"The empress dowager is overwhelmed." Jing Se showed a shy expression just right, "I just consulted with the disciples in the valley in my spare time in Wangyou Valley to understand a little bit. In front of the empress dowager, the minister Girl, this is showing ugliness."

The queen mother looked at her with a gentler smile on her face.

Jing Se personally brought another cup of tea to Fan Chen, and said in a warm voice, "Your Majesty Fan, please use tea."

Fan Chen was not in a hurry to answer, and looked at him with deep eyes. After a while, he raised his lips, "Miss Jing's 'know a little bit' is really interesting."

He didn't praise her tea cooking skills, but only summed it up in two words: interesting.

The smile on Jing Se's face gradually faded, secretly wondering if this person would have discovered something?
After thinking about it, Jing Se had never shown his tea-making skills in front of Fan Chen in his previous life, how could he see anything, he must be thinking too much.

Shaking her head, Jing Se pulled back her thoughts, put the teacup on the small table and returned to her seat.

It was the first time to cook tea for the Queen Mother, which was very favored by her old man, so she was overjoyed and rewarded Jing Se with a lot of gold and silver jewelry.

When she was finally able to leave Yongshou Palace, the Empress Dowager arranged for the maids to deliver the rewards Jing Se had received to the carriage outside Xuanwu Gate.

Walking to Xuanwu Gate with Fan Chen one after the other, Jing Se said to him: "I have seen the doctor today, and I have given the prescription to the steward of the Chu Palace, so I will go back to the house right away, Mr. Brahma, let's say goodbye." Pass."

"Okay." Fan Chen smiled slightly, watching Jing Se get into the carriage of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

On the way back, Yingluo was pleasantly surprised to see the gold and silver jewelry that the queen mother gave her, "Although I have been in the Duke of Jin's mansion for so long, I don't often see jewelry from the palace. Miss Cousin was rewarded like this by the queen mother today." , it can be seen that the empress dowager is very satisfied with you, this is a great thing!"

Jing Se didn't say a word, but she knew in her heart that Fan Chen was inseparable from her being able to get all of this. If it wasn't for the sake of that person, the Empress Dowager would at most just praise her.

Yingluo carefully decorated the jewelry, "This must be well hidden, so that no one in the right minister's house will have bad intentions again."

Jing Se couldn't laugh or cry, "You, when did you become so cautious?"

"Don't you have to be more cautious?" Yingluo curled her lips, "After staying in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion for so many days, I can see that there are really all kinds of people in that palm-sized back house, especially now. Now the third lady who is in charge of the house, on the surface, she is indeed doing her best, but she is actually a person who loves petty gains. Who would have guessed that after we take these things back, she will let you confiscate them? .”

Jing Se said: "Third Aunt's character is not very good, but she is not so stingy?"

Yingluo lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Who can say for sure? Last time, to welcome Miss Jing San to be released from prison, didn't there be a banquet, and then those daughters left before the banquet, and the rest of the meals, Naturally, you can't stay in the mansion, and the old lady didn't make a clear statement at that time, so the third lady handled it privately."

Jing Se thought for a moment, "How did Third Aunt deal with it?"

Yingluo lowered her head even lower, "The third lady secretly sold those vegetables, and all the money she got was put into her own pocket. When she came back, she told the old lady that all the food was taken out and distributed to the little beggars."

After finishing speaking, Yingluo raised her head slowly, "Miss Cousin, the servants also overheard this matter, even now, Mrs. Jing still doesn't know the truth. To be honest, those meals can't be sold for a few Qian, but this servant just can't understand the Third Madam's greedy behavior, you said that those little beggars not only didn't have food to eat, but also gave the Third Madam such a big blame, how wronged you are!"

"It's true." Jing Se smiled, "I'll find a way to make Third Aunt suffer a bit, so that she can have a long memory, so that indifference will eventually become a big problem."

Back at the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, the news that Jing Se entered the palace and was rewarded by the Queen Mother quickly spread.

When Fifth Young Miss Jing Nanqing heard this, her heart itched so badly that she immediately came to Muyunju.

Jing Se was rummaging through the pair of mandarin ducks bestowed by the Queen Mother, when she heard Zhihua report that Miss Fifth was here, she closed the dowry box and went out to the Nuan Pavilion.

After Jing Nanqing entered the door, she called her familiarly, "Big sister, I heard you entered the palace again today?"

"Yeah." Jing Se held the hand stove with a calm expression on her face, "Master Brahma's condition has improved, so I went to the palace to report to the Empress Dowager."

Jing Nanqing was full of envy, "Big sister, I also heard that you showed off your tea-making skills in front of the empress dowager. My sister is young and has little knowledge, so she has never seen such a wonderful skill. Can you also do it?" teach me?"

Jing Se didn't answer directly, but raised her eyes to look at her, "Cooking tea is not only about skill, but also about state of mind. Don't you feel tired enough to go to Xuehai Academy every day? Do you want to learn such a tedious skill?"

The first emperor had a far-sighted vision. After the establishment of the women's official school, there was no restriction on the distinction between the concubine and the concubines, but all the official ladies in Jinling City could enroll.

Jing Nanqing was young, and she was always arrogant and arrogant under the connivance of Aunt Zhou. After entering school, her grades were not satisfactory, and she was ridiculed by her classmates a lot in private. When she came back, she would vent all her anger on Aunt Zhou, scolding Aunt Zhou for failing to give her the status of a prostitute, so that she was often bullied in the academy.

Aunt Zhou shed tears and worried about this, but the second master has been in office all year round. Even if Aunt Zhou has the heart to fight for the position of wife, she has nothing to do. What's more, it is impossible for Aunt Zhou to help her Things.

Jing Nanqing showed a trace of resignation on her face, and lowered her head, "To tell you the truth, my sis, Mr. yesterday also gave us a lesson on how to make tea, but I was stupid and I couldn't understand it, so I came to the aunt elder sister."

Yingluo came in with warming soup at this time, and happened to hear Jing Nanqing's words, she secretly gave Jing Nanqing a dissatisfied look, and said, "Fifth Miss may be disappointed."

Jing Nanqing turned pale and raised her head.

Yingluo had already handed the warming soup to Jing Se, looked at Jing Nanqing and said: "Our cousin has three patients in her hands, Mr. Brahma, Miss Lou and Miss Jing San. She is so busy every day that she is almost exhausted. Where else can I find time to teach you how to make tea, aren't you just looking for trouble?"

Jing Nanqing saw clearly that the person who spoke was just a maidservant, and immediately frowned, "Presumptuous! When is it time for you to intervene when the master is talking?"

Yingluo stood still, with a sneer on her face, "If Miss Fifth wants to use the following crimes to restrain the servant, then I have to trouble you to report to the Duke of Jin's mansion. After all, the servant is from the Duke of Jin's mansion. Miss is serving by your side, but the monthly record is taken from Mrs. Su, if you are dissatisfied, please go over there and tell me, if Mrs. Nods and thinks that the servant should be punished, then the servant will have no complaints and let you punish."

When Jing Nanqing heard this, she immediately lost her temper. She looked at Jing Se and cried, "Eldest sister, you slave is too bullying. Don't you just see me as a concubine? What's wrong with the concubine? I am also in this house." If you are the master in the house, you have no right to speak? Now that a maid is bullying her head, does she still put our Right Prime Minister’s House in her eyes?"

After Yingluo heard this, she sneered unequivocally, "It's really funny, Miss Wu came to our cousin's yard by herself to make fun of her, but in the end she blamed the crime on Miss Biao's maid, and gave me a slap in the middle of the day. The crime of not paying attention to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, the owner of Muyunju and our cousin have not spoken yet, but the fifth lady is good at picking gifts, so she started bluffing. You don't know how to cook tea. It's you It's her own business, it's up to Miss Biao whether she will teach you or not, why, could it be that you don't know how to cook tea, so why is it that Miss Biao doesn't want to teach you?"

Ying Luo has always been a protector of the Lord, so naturally she can't see Jing Se being wronged in this mansion, she speaks without panting, and Jing Nanqing chokes until her face turns red and turns pale, she stands up and runs out crying.

Yingluo snorted coldly, helped up the stool that Jing Nanqing tripped over when she ran out, and then muttered dissatisfiedly, "Who is this, a young lady who is like a wild girl from the countryside and has gone to government school?" , according to slaves, it’s nothing more than that.”

Jing Se seldom sees Yingluo getting angry, but this time, she was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. She didn't care that Yingluo sent Jing Nanqing away in this way, but rather agreed, because she didn't like it very much. Jing Nanqing, if it wasn't for Aunt Zhou's sake, Jing Se would have dealt with her long ago.

Not long after, Qing'er walked in with a look of hesitation, and said: "Miss, the Eldest Master sent someone to pass the message, saying that you should come over, could it be that Fifth Miss went to the Eldest Master to complain? "
