Chapter 199

Wenwen gave the noble concubine a face in the palace, and the noble concubine was praised by the queen mother. For many years, the noble concubine has not been praised because of her natal family, and she is happy.

The Empress Dowager allowed her to let her natal family hand over a sign to visit her in the palace, which was also a thoughtful reward.

This time Mrs. Zhou brought Wenwen into the palace instead of her two daughters-in-law.

In fact, in the past, Ma Shi was not often brought into the palace, and the second daughter-in-law Qian was often brought into the palace.

Ma Shiba is not a mean person, he is honest and responsible, not smart enough, not capable of dealing with crises, limited by family background, lack of vision and heart.

She wasn't very good at home, she couldn't even support her, and she only entered the palace once or twice, and the imperial concubine could tell that her level was limited, so she didn't call her anymore, for fear of accidents.

There are eyes everywhere in the palace, and if you say a wrong word, you will be in big trouble. The old lady didn't dare to take her to cheat her daughter, so naturally she didn't dare to take her.

It's rare that the imperial concubine is happy to see Wenwen, so she brings her into the palace.

"Greetings to the Empress Dowager, and may the Empress Dowager be well."

Wenwen and Mrs. Zhou first came to the queen mother to say hello before going to the imperial concubine.

"Get up, the emperor praised you for being smart, the imperial concubine misses her natal family, and asked you to come and visit her."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for giving us such a high regard. This is also your kindness. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a good relationship. Otherwise, we can't say we will meet each other. You really love the imperial concubine and empress."

As a junior, Wenwen can say a few more words, and if she makes a mistake, the old lady will take care of her, so she is obedient and not afraid of making mistakes.

The queen mother really showed a smile, "You are really smart, and you really look like your father."

"Please take pity on the empress dowager, so that my wife can enter the palace again to gain insight. I came back in a hurry and didn't bring you a gift. This time I prepared a small gift. A little snack from my hometown is made by myself, Jiang sugar."

Wenwen's gift was approved by Mrs. Zhou, not on her own initiative.

"Oh, take it to Ai's house to have a look."

The old lady is a bit addicted to sweets, but it's not serious, and most people don't know that sugar is not wrong. The old lady Zhou didn't tell Wenwen about it, she guessed it herself.

The sugar was tested by the nanny, and brought to the queen mother to taste.

"How did you come up with the idea to make it with ginger?"

Wenwen smiled shyly, "My grandma likes to eat this, and she would make this candy for me when I was a child. Ginger has the effect of dispelling cold from the exterior, warming the middle to stop vomiting, warming the lung and relieving cough, and it also has the effect of detoxification.

Ginger can be added to the candy to dispel the cold in winter. Our hometown belongs to the junction of the north and the south, and the humidity is relatively heavy. Eat this to dispel dampness and cold.

When I was a child, I kept crying, and my grandma used this candy to coax me. I thought about dedicating my favorite things to the Queen Mother to express my heart. "

Things are not precious, but sincere.

The queen mother was a little dazed while eating ginger candy. No one knew except her personal nurse. Her mother was from Jiangnan and made ginger candy for her when she was a child. The taste was lingering in her heart.

"Yummy, you are a good boy, go and see the imperial concubine. She also misses her natal family very much."

The Queen Mother's voice and expression were much softer and gentler.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager."

Wenwen and Mrs. Zhou bowed and retreated.

The old lady Zhou was thinking that this gift was delivered to her heart today, and seeing the empress dowager's expression is extremely soft and gentle, she really likes it if she doesn't boast.

The two of them didn't speak on the road, they said many mistakes, and they went home to talk about something.

When I went to the imperial concubine's bedroom, the imperial concubine had been waiting for her very early. The number of times a woman who entered the palace could see her natal family was very small. Unless it was a critical moment, the imperial concubine would not let her natal family hand over the sign to enter the palace.

Wenwen and the old lady salute first when they enter the door, even relatives must abide by the rules, the national ceremony comes first, and the family ceremony comes second, even if it is a mother and daughter, the old lady also salutes her daughter.

After the salute, the noble concubine quickly pulled her mother up and observed carefully, with tears in her eyes.

"Mom, you have more gray hair."

The voice trembled with distress and unbearable.

The old lady Zhou smiled cheerfully, "Silly girl, how old am I? If I don't have gray hair, I'm an old goblin. Even Brother Yang is old."

The old man smiled openly, but Wen Wen understood that the old lady absolutely didn't want her daughter to know her mother's suffering, and she didn't want the imperial concubine to worry about herself.

"My concubine, let's sit down and talk."

Wenwen lowered her head and spoke in a low voice, and glanced at the old lady, which meant that the old man could not stand for so long.

"Oh, look, I was so excited that I forgot, give me a seat."

The imperial concubine hurriedly shouted, and the servant girl came over with a chair with a big circle and back. This chair is only comfortable to sit on. It is better not to sit on the embroidered pier, because it is uncomfortable to sit on.

The embroidered pier is very short, a little higher than a low stool, and much lower than a round-backed chair. People sit on it with their legs half-bent and do not lean on their backs. After sitting for a while, their limbs become stiff and uncomfortable.

On the contrary, it is not as comfortable as a ponytail and an armchair, but the palace pays attention to manners, and you can't curl up, which is not good-looking.

"How is your concubine these days?"

The old lady Zhou asked with concern, her eyes were full of love.

The noble concubine smiled brightly, "Mother doesn't have to worry about me, I'm fine, there's nothing wrong with it, Duan Jing is getting more stable, and I don't need to worry about anything."

There is only one daughter, and she has both sons and daughters. The son-in-law is also very competent and capable, and she is better than before.

In the past, I was worried about my daughter, and the harem was worried that she would give birth to a son to win the heir, but now I don't worry about these things, I can't give birth, and I'm old.

The emperor respected and loved her even more than before, and would come over every now and then to have a meal and stay overnight, and talk to her.

Looking at the smile, she knew that it was indeed much more stable, and the old lady Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is everything okay at home?"

"It's still the same as before, and there's nothing wrong with it. Now I want to teach my grandchildren more and share one or two for me."

As a metaphor, the problems of the Zhou family have not been significantly improved. I want to teach Hunzi and Wenwen, and teach the grandchildren more, maybe there will be improvement.

"Mother should have been like this a long time ago. I see that Wenwen and Hunzi are good children. You and father are both old and can't bear the fatigue. It's time to teach them. Even family affairs can let them participate more of."

It means that the emperor praised both of them for their outstanding talents and valuable personalities, and they can be trusted.

"That's the reason, and your father also persuaded me. The former son was Wenwen's own decision. I see that there are still rules for doing things. Since the mother agrees, I will teach the children more when I go back."

"Xiaoya's marriage, you have a plan in mind. If you have chosen someone, let me know, so that I can add makeup to my niece. You must not let up on your son's upbringing. The future of the family is the foundation of the family."

The noble concubine is looking forward to the prosperity of the family.

Why do you like Wenwen and praise her, because Zhou Hui, the Tanhualang, was taught by Wang's family, which indirectly gave the noble concubine a lot of face.

"That's the reason. Your father and I are also thinking about Xiaoya's marriage. There is a good candidate for the imperial concubine."

"I didn't see a satisfactory candidate. I thought in my heart that the right family is the best. If there is a scholar like Brother Hui, he is also a good candidate."

The imperial concubine means to have talents and abilities, and a clean and simple family background is good. It doesn't have to be a clan wife, the clan wife is actually very hard.

Although the imperial concubine doesn't like Ma Shi, she really loves Xiaoya and Brother Yang.

"I'll go back and think about it, and then I'll ask your father and brother, they are still young, and now Wenwen says let Xiaoya learn how to be a housekeeper."

The old lady Zhou looked at Wenwen, showing a very fond expression.
