Chapter 239 Different Color Peony

Dongfang Xiu left Yangxi Palace.

When he left, his right hand was covered in the long sleeve, and he couldn't see anything.

Xia Xi came back from the imperial study to deal with government affairs, saw her sitting alone in front of the window, and asked with a smile, "Dongfangxiu came to visit you?"

She turned her head and nodded: "I told some of Bing'er's experiences along the way, but I can tell that the child has grown up."

He smiled and echoed: "In the future, when you are in better health, I will arrange for Binger to go on a study tour in the palace. Locked in this square all day long, it is better to go out and have a look."

She agrees.

The husband and wife had nothing to say all night.

The next day when Xia Xi went to court, he heard that Dongfang Xiu asked him for leave.

It turned out that he was accidentally scalded by the tea when he returned home yesterday, so he cannot teach Binger martial arts for the time being.

Xia Xi was also concerned, and personally sent the imperial physician to ask a doctor, and finally prescribed some herbal medicine, and told not to touch the water, and then returned to the palace to return to life.

After listening to Qiqi, she sent someone to send some supplements to comfort her, but she didn't mention it.

Bing'er returned to the palace, healthier than ever.

Qi Qi was still worried, so she ordered He Xiaowen to come to him for questioning.

He Xiaowen is an imperial doctor who went on a study tour, and he knows Bing'er's body very well.

He stood in front of the gauze tent, bowed his head respectfully, and said earnestly: "I would like to report to the empress, the prince is in good health, and he has not felt sick outside, and everything is going well."

She nodded and said nothing.

He Xiaowen just stood there.

After standing for a long time, she suddenly asked, "Have you seen Li Keben these few days?"

Li Keben had disappeared since Qiqi was taken back to the palace.

These days, she was ill and did not look for these old people.

Ever since Bing'er came back, she suddenly had the idea of ​​using the old man.

He Xiaowen raised his head in surprise, looked at her in disbelief, and said hesitantly: "Empress Empress, you...you..."

Qiqi's current appearance is no different from before, so He Xiaowen is naturally familiar with it.

However, no one knew that she had recovered her memory.

Even Xia Xi was deceived.

He Xiaowen hesitated, not sure about her memory, only stuttered.

She blinked and said calmly, "Although I haven't recovered my memory, I already know your identities. Don't be nervous."

He Xiaowen was no longer nervous.

But there is also a touch of loss.

"Li Keben... seems to have gone to Xiaoyang City, I... don't know much about it."

He is a pediatrician who spends his days in the palace, and he doesn't know much about Li Keben's whereabouts.

She nodded and told him to back down.

I just thought about it a lot, and if I want to find Xia Xue, someone must go to Xiaoyang City.

But she has no one.

Instead, you can ask Xia Xi to borrow someone.

But Xia Xi's right-hand man has not yet returned, who can borrow someone at this time?

Qin Cai is brave and intrepid, and can't be used, so he can only be Xia Xi's coachman.

The confidantes who followed her to look for Xia Xi in the past have now been incorporated into various military camps and become good generals.

She frowned, suddenly lost her mind.

It would be best for her to look for Xia Xue, but unfortunately she fell ill.

A few days later, Bing'er came to visit her in the palace and drank tea with her by the pool.

The fish in the water swim happily, but Binger no longer feeds them.

Qi Qi sprinkled fish food into the water in handfuls, smiled and said nothing.

Bing'er said: "Mother, I went to Wutonghou's mansion as a guest the day before yesterday, and saw a peony blooming there, it was so beautiful."

"It's just a peony, don't we have many in the palace?" Qiqi asked casually, not caring.

Bing'er frowned: "But that peony flower seems to be a different species. There are several colors blooming on one vine, which is even more beautiful than the peony flowers in our palace."

Qiqi remembered that Bing'er usually didn't like these vulgar flowers, and she had never heard him mention how beautiful peonies are before.

Why are you so concerned about this matter today?

She raised her eyes, looked at Binger's beautiful face, and frowned: "Why are you suddenly interested in the peonies of Wutonghou's family?"

She is not interested in peonies, but is very interested in her son's mood.

Bing'er refused to answer.

After staring at the koi in the water for a long time, he turned and hurried away.

For three days in a row, she did not see Bing'er.

I also heard from the scholar and Dongfang Xiu that he didn't go to Taixue for classes.

Qi Qi was worried about the child, so she went to see the East Palace in person, but Binger shut herself in the East Palace and refused to go out.

It seems to be sulking at someone.

This is really strange.

Qi Qi had many doubts in her heart.

It's a pity that Xia Xi was busy with state affairs, so she didn't have time to pay attention to him.

She shook her head, and quietly pulled Gong'e away, walking halfway, she remembered Wu Tonghou.

She was stunned, and beckoned Feng Nian to carry it out of the palace and go to Wutonghou's mansion.

Before the person arrived, the inner eunuch who sent the order first delivered the decree to Wutong Houfu.

As soon as Wu Tonghou's mansion made preparations, everyone in the whole mansion knelt at the door and waited for the guests.

When Qiqi arrived, Wu Tonghou hurried forward to greet him.

She stretched out her hand to push him away, and walked lightly towards the house.

Along the way, the flowers and trees are sparse and the scenery is beautiful.

The willows and willows are full of flowers, so beautiful.

The scenery in the palace, no matter where it is, reveals a trace of majesty and solemnity.

It makes people feel depressed.

But here, for no reason, there is some meaning of small bridges and flowing water.See a little bit of gentleness and beauty.

Wu Tonghou and Mrs. Hou Ye followed her, step by step, not daring to be careless.

Everyone knows the identity of this queen, and also knows the origin of the past.

If Qiqi is disrespectful, I'm afraid Xia Xi will wipe out the Wutong Hou Mansion.

A group of people walked in a mighty manner.

Fast or slow, always cautious.

After a long time, Qiqi stood on the boulevard and asked: "I heard that there is a peony plant in the Hou's mansion, which can produce flowers of various colors. It is very strange. I wonder if Lord Hou will allow me to take a look at it?"

She didn't say she wanted it, she just said to watch it.

Wu Tonghou wiped off his cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "Please, empress, that strange-colored peony is in my daughter's boudoir, it is indeed very rare."

boudoir?

Qiqi's eyes flashed, and she nodded with a smile.

After walking for a long time, I came to a small courtyard with luxuriant flowers and trees on both sides.

The walls of the house were covered with large patches of roses, as beautiful as a ball of fire.

With a heartbeat, she pushed the door open and entered.

The courtyard is open and bright, and no large trees are planted.

There are various flower beds all over the place.

Plant a variety of flowers and plants.

Among them, peony flowers are the most.

Qiqi smiled and remained silent.

Wu Tonghou has already stepped forward and said respectfully: "My little girl likes planting peonies the most, and she takes care of all the flowers and plants in this yard, the empress laughed at her."

It turned out that she was a little girl who liked to plant flowers and grass.

She blinked, walked along the cobblestone path, and came to the main courtyard.

At the entrance of the building, in the middle, there is a different-colored peony blooming randomly in the huge flower bed.

Because of this peony, other flowers and plants are eclipsed.

In the world, there seems to be only such a bright peony.

Qi Qi smiled, stroked the cloak she was wearing, and coughed softly: "So, this peony is here?"

She turned her head with a smile, trying to find the lady who likes to plant peonies among the crowd.

It's a pity that I watched several times in a row and shook my head secretly.

For some reason, she always felt that the young lady who could grow such a garden full of flowers and plants would definitely not be a mediocre person.

Subconsciously, she blocked mediocre people.

After looking for a long while without seeing anyone, her eyes gradually turned cold.

Wu Tonghou's face turned pale, and he hurriedly bowed: "Qi...Qi report to Empress Empress, my daughter...my daughter caught a cold yesterday and has been recuperating indoors."

The queen ordered that everyone in the whole house should go to the gate of the house to welcome them.

However, in case of special circumstances, this etiquette can also be waived.

Anyway, the queen would not remember who came and who didn't.

Qiqi looked indifferently and nodded, she agreed to Miss Hou Fu's unreasonableness.

She looked at the peony flowers carefully again, shook her head in praise, and walked out of the small courtyard.

Perhaps Mrs. Wu Tonghou thought that it would be really disrespectful to let Qi Qi go like this.

So, I stood under the flower window and called my daughter.

"Peony, get up and pay respects to the empress, the empress came here to see the peonies you planted, this is a great blessing..."

Called a few times and no one answered.

Qi Qi thought, probably because she was seriously ill.

He didn't care, and continued to walk outside the courtyard.

Mrs. Hou Ye couldn't bear her complexion, and hurriedly called a few more times.

Only then did the sound of a woman waking up come from the room.

Mrs. Hou hurriedly called again.

The people in the room were confused and coquettish and complained: "I don't want to go. Yesterday that nasty prince actually wanted to steal my peony flowers. Today, the empress might also come to steal flowers..."

Hearing the voice, he was immature, very young.

But her voice was so crisp that everyone in the yard could understand it.

Qi Qi stood still.

Wu Tonghou's face turned pale with fright.

Everyone in the courtyard felt that they were burdened by this young lady.

There are many fighters with two legs.

Qi Qi turned her head and looked at the hall door.

Mrs. Hou was taken aback for a moment, and faltered: "Empress Empress, this, this..."

Qiqi didn't listen to her explanation, but went straight to the door.

She stood at the door, looking at the peony of different colors, white petals, pink petals, red petals...suddenly smiled.

After laughing for a long time, she tugged on the cloak again, and said softly, "I don't know where Miss Mudan ranks?"

She asked very modestly.

The Great Xia State pays attention to being well-matched.

Pay more attention to the daughter-in-law in power.

Therefore, she needs to ask the lady's identity.

Wu Tonghou didn't know what she meant, half excited and half nervous, he said: "My little girl...is the daughter of the courtier and the cheapest, ranked fifth, her name is Yan Ruizhu, the small character is Peony, she is now... 11 years old age."

Women who are less than Jiji usually do not have small characters.

When Wu Tonghou said that she was named Peony, he probably meant that her baby name was Peony.

However, seeing that she likes planting peonies so much, I'm afraid she is not a bad child.

11 years old, the same age as the prince.

She wrapped her cloak tightly, and said gently: "I have an idea, I wonder if Lord Hou would like to hear it?"

Wu Tonghou hurriedly lowered his head: "The Empress, please give me instructions."

"The emperor's sons are rare, and there is only one prince. It is really boring to be in the Imperial Academy on weekdays. Miss Mudan, since you are the same age as the prince and have such a bright mind, you don't know if you want to study in the Imperial Academy?"

Going to Taixue, there are Gao Taifu and Dongfang Taifu, there must be countless things to learn.

Qi Qi added: "There are also many female gardeners in the palace, all of whom are first-class in their craftsmanship. If Peony is willing, she can also learn a thing or two."

Wu Tonghou didn't say a word, as if the happiness came too suddenly, it was hard for him to accept it.

Mrs. Hou said: "The empress is so kind, my wife..."

"Mother, I'm not going!" The hall door opened, and a little girl in homely clothes stood at the door, looking over with pride.
