The old lady rolled her eyes impatiently and put down the tea cup: "Stop flattering the Ai family. There are many flatterers like you. Are you ready to leave the palace?"
Ming Lanruo obediently put away her flattering paws: "Yes, His Majesty said that Lanruo should move out as soon as possible to take care of Master Chitose."
The Queen Mother frowned and slapped the table unhappily: "Then just ignore the Ai family's illness. Those quack doctors in the palace are of no use at all!"
The surrounding palace maids were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and did not dare to express their anger.
Looking at the awkward-looking old lady, Ming Lanruo was not afraid and just sighed: "Don't be angry in your body. I will come to the palace every month to ask for peace of mind. Lanruo is always waiting for your call!"
To be honest, although I used the bitter meat trick to diagnose the Queen Mother's illness in order to gain a future, I also wanted to repay the old lady for her kindness in her past and present lives.
The Queen Mother's face became better then, and she poked her in the head angrily: "Your uncle in name only married you to a dead man, which is not a good thing. You insist on getting close to him for whatever reason, because you think the Ai family is not big enough."
Is it thick enough for you to hold?"
Hearing this question, Ming Lanruo only felt pain in his head. Are these big Buddhas in the palace lacking someone to hold their laps recently?
Cang Qiao was also annoyed that she didn't hug his thigh, but came to hug the Queen Mother's thigh!
"Calm down, you know I still have a little baby. After all, I can't live in the palace all my life. I also need someone to take care of and protect me outside the palace." Ming Lanruo patiently poured her the herbal tea she prepared and explained carefully.
The Queen Mother's face softened a little: "That's right, you have been kicked out of the house. You can't go back to the Duke of Ming Dynasty, and you still have a child with you."
She thought for a moment and then told Aunt Tan next to her: "Have someone open the Ai family's warehouse and buy some gold, silver and clothing materials for Princess Ai."
Aunt Tan smiled and nodded: "Yes."
Ming Lanruo was moved, but the old lady had always been a sharp-tongued person.
"What are you looking at? The Ai family's warehouse can't be stocked, and it's going to be infested with insects." The Queen Mother snorted uncomfortably.
Ming Lanruo suppressed a smile and lowered her head: "Yes."
It was really hard for her to imagine that such a queen mother could give birth to a son like the emperor.
After tidying up in the palace for several days, Aunt Qin told her that she could go to the palace to pick up the children first, and they would deliver the things directly to the backyard of the East Factory.
Early that morning, Minglan simply changed into a simple robe, put on a veil, and left the palace directly.
She remembered that the shop in Xuanwu Hutong was so good at making plum crystal cakes that wealthy families would often queue up to buy them.
The snacks were not expensive, but the master chef had limited energy and could not buy them if he arrived late. She thought of buying some for Xiao Xier.
Sure enough, when she got to the queue, there were only the last two boxes left, and she paid for them directly. The other people in the queue could only disperse with envy and sighs.
She happily took the packed things, and just as she was about to turn around, the package in her hand was suddenly snatched away.
Then two pennies were thrown directly at her feet, and a pampering female voice said: "This plum crystal cake is mine. Two pennies is double the price, which makes it easier for you."
Ming Lanruo was stunned for a moment. Why are there still people buying and selling by force these days?
She turned away annoyed and said, "When did I say that this pastry was going to be sold..."
However, when she saw the person standing behind her, her eyes widened in disbelief: "Why is it you?"
That person in a gorgeous crimson dress and a golden hairpin is not the maid Xiangxue who used to be by her side, but who is it?!
Xiangxue already had a maid beside her, and that maid was the one who snatched her things, carrying her cakes in her hand.
Xiangxue looked at Ming Lanruo, who was wearing a veil. Seeing that she was wearing simple clothes, she asked disdainfully: "What, do you know me?"
Ming Lanruo's face turned cold: "I don't know you, give me back the snacks!"
After saying that, he reached out and snatched his snack from the hand of the maid beside Xiangxue.
The maid was stunned, then stepped forward and grabbed her sleeve, shouting angrily: "This belongs to my wife, I gave you all the money!"
Ming Lanruocai didn't bother to pay attention to them, turned around and left with the cakes in hand.
"Ignorant bitch, do you know who I am? How dare you disobey me!"
Who would have thought that suddenly there was a strong wind behind her, and Xiangxue's whip struck hard at her back. This chapter has been completed!
