Wishful Things

She looked over to the queen, only to see that the other party nodded slightly to her with a smile on his face.

Xu Mingyi had a judgment in his heart, it was indeed helping her.

The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "Then I would like to trouble Miss Xu to show Ai's family too?"

"Yes, my daughter obeys."

There were no other maids serving in the room, so Mother Lan personally moved a drum stool in front of the Queen Mother, and asked Xu Mingyi to sit down and feel her pulse.

Xu Mingyi looked at it carefully.

"The empress dowager's phoenix body is healthy, but there is a little dryness in the lungs and viscera. I just need to write a prescription for reducing fire and nourishing the lungs and regulating the spleen and liver for you to use for a while, and the disease will be cured."

Sister Lan came over with a pen and paper.

After Xu Mingyi finished writing the prescription, he did not forget to say with a smile: "This trip to the imperial mausoleum will take six or seven days on the way back and forth. If the Empress Dowager feels tired or unwell, she can call my servant over. It's not necessarily better than the accompanying imperial physicians, but fortunately, they are close and quick, and they can also chat with you to relieve boredom."

The Empress Dowager smiled when she heard that, said "Yes" repeatedly, and waved to the girl again: "Come to Ai's house."

Xu Mingyi walked over.

The Empress Dowager took out a moon-white handkerchief that was as clean as new, poured a lot of sugar from the sugar bowl in person, wrapped it up in the handkerchief and tied it carefully, stuffed it into the girl's hand, and said with a smile: "Here, this is mourning." The consultation fee from your family."

Xu Mingyi felt that this action was really cute, and nodded with a genuine smile in his eyes: "Then the servant will keep it."

"It's time to put it away, after all, Ai's health is in your hands." The queen mother half-jokingly said.

Xu Mingyi nodded slightly again.

To her, it's not a joke - she'll do her best.

Seeing this scene, the queen thought of something, and the smile in her eyes was a little far away.

At this time, a court lady reported through the curtain: "Empress Dowager, Zhiyue is back."

Zhiyue is the maid of honor next to the Queen Mother. Before Princess Yufeng came over, she was sent by Nanny Lan to deliver things to Concubine Sun.

"Okay, it's getting late, and Ai's family is feeling sleepy after being pressed by you." The Queen Mother said softly with a smile: "Go back and rest, you have to hurry tomorrow morning."

Xu Mingyi replied "Yes", blessed himself, and retreated behind Princess Yufeng.

At this time, the maid named Zhiyue came in from outside the hall, and when she passed by Princess Yufeng's side, she gave way to the side and saluted.

Seeing Princess Yufeng leave, Zhiyue entered the inner room.

The queen was smiling and said to the queen mother: "... I haven't traveled far for a long time. The eldest princess is tired today. Didn't you listen to that child Yufeng just now, and fell asleep after entering the posthouse."

"The Ai family knows that she looks like a monkey now... If it is not because she is extremely tired, she must come to the Ai family to make a fuss."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Zhiyue saluted and stood by the side with a smile.

Seeing that the queen mother covered her mouth and yawned, the queen also left in a timely manner.

Zhiyue served the queen mother to wash and change clothes, and after the queen mother lay down on the bed, she retreated to the outside room to arrange other matters.

Sister Lan was with her in front of the tent, and when she was about to put down the bed curtain, she saw the sleepy Queen Mother smiling, her eyes were still awake, and she said in a low voice: "This girl from the Xu family is quite interesting today. Did you come here to press Aijia's shoulders on purpose?"

"The maid looks at the empress and seems to like this girl very much." Lan Liu said softly, "Perhaps there is something I can ask of you."

"The girl from Zhen Guogong's mansion, what can she ask to come to me, a useless old woman... Is it possible that she is really trying to trick me?" The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Forget it, don't think about it, I will do it in the future." It will be clear in the end."

Anyway, the child the queen likes must be a good child, and he is good-looking.

Now that I am getting older, I like to look at these flower-like little girls more, it makes people feel happy, and maybe they can live for two more years.

"Yes, go to bed quickly."

Sister Lan slowly lowered the smoky blue curtain.

...

On the other side, Princess Yufeng also just lay down.

"Xu Zhaozhao, why don't you come and sleep, what are you sitting there waiting for?" Seeing his friend sitting at the table having tea, Princess Yufeng urged.

Just as Xu Mingyi was about to speak, he suddenly heard two "dang dang" sounds from the window behind him.

She immediately put down the teacup in her hand, got up and went to the window, and pushed the window open.

Sure enough, he saw the big bird squatting on the window sill and calling out to her.

Xu Mingyi nodded knowingly, turned his head to Princess Yufeng and said, "Jiaojiao, you sleep first, I'll go out for a while."

"...I said why you have been refusing to go to bed for so long. The co-author is a beautiful woman who has an appointment." Princess Yufeng curled her lips sourly, and sighed: "Okay, okay, go, there are people outside. Wind, put on one more coat."

Xu Mingyi nodded, took the sandalwood hooded cape handed over by Shi Shi casually, tied it on his body, and went out without delay.

"..." Shi Shi, who hadn't had time to take the umbrella and hand it over, opened his mouth.

She didn't even leave the door, just turned over the window and went out, which was quite easy for Miss Xu.

The rain outside is not too heavy, the rain is thin and misty, and the sky and the earth seem to be shrouded in a layer of mist.

In such a weather, and it was almost the end of the Xu Dynasty, there were no people walking around, Xu Mingyi followed Tianmu all the way, and never met a single person.

Tianmu, who was leading the way, flew into a pavilion in front.

There was someone in the pavilion holding a lamp, vaguely seeing Xu Mingyi approaching, he couldn't help saying in surprise, "Why didn't Miss Xu hold an umbrella..."

As Xiao Qi said, he bent over and picked up the purple bamboo umbrella beside him.

However, when he was about to straighten up, he faintly felt a not-so-gentle gaze slowly pressing down...

Xiao Qi froze, then handed over the umbrella with both hands, bared his teeth and said with a smile: "My lord, here..."

Wu Chao took it, strode out of the gazebo, opened an umbrella and walked towards Xu Mingyi.

Seeing him, Xu Mingyi quickened his pace, walked towards him quickly, and hid under the umbrella he held up.

"It's still raining, why don't you hold an umbrella?" Wu Chao looked down at the girl in front of him.

"I think it's not too rainy." The girl pointed to the hood on her head, "And I have this."

"It's always cold to hit the body." Wu Chao led her to the pavilion, holding the whole umbrella above her head.

Inside the pavilion, the wind lamp was placed on the stone table, and Xiao Qi disappeared at some point.

The third eye shook its wings, squatted on the stone bench, and stretched its neck to look at the stone table. Seeing that it was empty, it seemed to yell in dissatisfaction——Why do you need a table if there is no food on the table?

"How? Can you see the empress dowager?"

In the pavilion, Wu Chao put away his umbrella and asked Xu Mingyi.
