Chapter 83 The tea ceremony

The next morning, Chu Yunning just woke up, and after washing and dressing up, he found that Beibei was gone. Bixiu said, "The Empress Dowager sent someone to pick up the little prince."

"So early?" Chu Yunning was surprised.

After thinking about it, Chu Yunning also went to Cihe Palace. She came to Cihe Palace a lot of times. Aunt Zhang was particularly kind when she saw her: "Thank you for the plaster given by Chu Shang Palace a few days ago. My sleep has improved a lot in the past few days, and I am energetic, and my arms and legs are also strong."

"Auntie, please come to me if you have any needs."

Aunt Zhang is the dowry of the empress dowager. She has been with the empress dowager all her life and has never married. She is usually very nice to her and Beibei. So when she saw that Aunt Zhang had gout on her legs and feet and had poor sleep at night, she went back and made a few plasters and sent them over.

"whee!"

Beibei laughed in the hall, and Chu Yunning leaned over: "Beibei didn't disturb the Queen Mother's rest, right?"

"What's the matter with Chu Shang Palace? The Empress Dowager likes the Little Prince, so how could he disturb him? Since the Little Prince lived in the palace, the Empress Dowager has been looking forward to the Little Prince coming to pay his respects every day, and even his appetite has improved."

Chu Yunning wrote a few recipes for Cihegong's kitchen. The empress dowager ate very well and her complexion became more visible to the naked eye.

At this time, King Xiao and his wife came to pay their respects to their hometown to pay their respects to tea outside the hall.

After a while, King Xiao came with Princess Xiao, and Chu Yunning turned around and wanted to leave, but subconsciously did not want to see the two of them.

"Why did you see this king hiding?"

King Xiao saw Chu Yunning from afar and couldn't help but sneer: "I was waiting here early in the morning, what tricks are you playing?"

Yesterday, King Xiao drank too much in the middle of the night and was in a dry mood and went to Danqiongyuan to walk around. There was also the smell of Chu Yunning's life. The smell belonged to her was inexplicably relieved.

But yesterday he found that the room was empty and nothing about Chu Yunning was left. King Xiao was angry and asked someone to ask, and then he learned that Chu Yunning had packed five big boxes and left. He was so cruel!

"King Xiao, Princess Xiao." Chu Yunning bowed a little and cursed in disgrace. He saw two plague gods early in the morning.

"This is Chu Shang Palace, it's really beautiful." Li Shanshan wore a very festive red palace outfit and snuggled in King Xiao's arms. For a moment, Chu Yunning thought it was Ye Yan'er who was resurrected.

The dignified Princess Xiao was so frivolous in public and was displeasant. I don’t know how Secretary Li Shangshu educated him.

She didn't believe that Li Shanshan could say anything good, but she heard the other party say the next second:

Before I saw him, I was still thinking about what kind of beauty he was so arrogant that even the prince looked down upon. Now that I saw him, it was beautiful, but after all, I was old and had two more children, so this identity was nothing more than that."

Chu Yunning squinted his eyes Li Shanshan: "If I hadn't made a seat for you as Princess Xiao, you should have knelt down and offered tea to me today."

Li Shanshan's face changed slightly. She was the princess who was carried in by someone with eight-handed sedan chairs!

"Also, don't forget that there is a Princess Xiao above you. Although the person is gone, the imperial edict is there, and you are just a second wife filling in the room!"

She is not a soft persimmon, especially when she has never provoked her, she will not be abusive!

"Prince!" Li Shanshan's eyes turned red, pouted and looked aggrieved, and she grabbed King Xiao's elbow and was about to make decisions.

King Xiao looked a little impatient and looked outside: "It's getting late, it's time to go to the palace to offer tea to his mother."

Without receiving support, Li Shanshan followed King Xiao in anger.

The empress dowager, who was in charge, had heard the sound outside, and immediately disliked Li Shanshan very much. She hugged Beibei and said something under her knees. Even when Li Shanshan knelt down to pay her respects with tea in her hand, she ignored it.

Li Shanshan knelt on the ground awkwardly with tea on her face for a long time, her little face turned red and she looked at King Xiao with grievance.

"Mother..." As soon as King Xiao spoke, the Empress Dowager slowly took the teacup and put it on the table without even opening the lid: "Aunt Zhang!"

Aunt Zhang took out a gift that had been prepared long ago, a ruler, a jade bracelet with excellent quality, and a set of pure gold jewelry.

Seeing the ruler, Li Shanshan almost cried.

"Since it is Princess Xiao, you must be careful in your words and actions in the future and do not smear King Xiao's face." The empress dowager said earnestly, but her eyes looked at Chu Yunning, secretly feeling sorry for her. How could a good marriage be disbanded?

"Yes, my daughter-in-law obeys the order." Li Shanshan didn't dare to breathe in front of the empress dowager, and listened silently to scold her.

"Ning'er, come to Ai's house to sit." The Empress Dowager waved to Chu Yunning, signaling her to sit beside her, and made a special place.

Chu Yunning couldn't resist and had to sit next to the empress dowager: "Empress Dowager, you have slept well these two days. Have you ever had any problems with head disease again?"

The Queen Mother seemed to be two of them just now, and she couldn't stop smiling: "You are still filial. The Ai family has been much more comfortable these two days. Unfortunately, some people are not lucky."

Whenever I mentioned this, the empress dowager felt so upset that she even felt a little regretful. Why didn’t King Xiao cherish such a good daughter-in-law?

"Empress Dowager, Ning'er is here to accompany you every day." Chu Yunning coaxed the Empress Dowager as if comforting the child.

The two started chatting, not taking Li Shanshan seriously at all, and didn't even leave lunch. They sent Li Shanshan to pay tribute to the queen.

As soon as the person left, the queen mother asked, "How can I relieve my anger?"

Chu Yunning was so amused that she received this feeling, so she nodded heavily: "I feel relieved, thank you, the Queen Mother."

"You are so kind to the Ai family, but the Ai family doesn't like the stingy look."

The Empress Dowager originally prepared other gifts, worried that Li Shanshan would be wronged, so she was preparing to comfort her for this, but she didn't expect that Li Shanshan would provoke her when she entered the palace, which directly made the Empress Dowager lose any favors for her.

So the empress dowager asked Aunt Zhang to change the gift, and did not forget to beat him hard. Such a stingy person who could not be the princess Xiao is not worthy of being Princess Xiao at all.

The Empress Dowager seemed to have thought of something, turned to Aunt Zhang and ordered: "Pick a parenting aunt to send it to Prince Xiao's mansion later, and let her teach Princess Xiao the rules."

"yes!"

Seeing that the empress dowager was so angry that Chu Yunning blinked at Beibei. Beibei immediately showed off his skills and made the empress dowager laugh so happily.

After laughing, the Empress Dowager asked Aunt Zhang to take Beibei out for fun. Chu Yunning knew that the Empress Dowager had something to do and said it separately.

"Grandmother of the Emperor, Beibei will be back soon. You will accompany Beibei to learn painting."

"Okay!" The empress dowager agreed with a smile, watched Beibei leave, and turned to Chu Yunning: "Ning'er, tell the Ai family, can Concubine Xia be kept? "

At this moment, the queen mother was like a lonely and helpless elder, staring at her with expectation.
