A carriage with a green cover and vermilion tassels drove out slowly from the home of Duke Cheng Guo in Sanyuanpo.

According to the Queen Mother's decree, Gu Jin's mother and daughter are now entering the palace.

It’s still cold in Beijing in February.

The thin and scorching sun is like the curling mist gathering on the tips of the plum blossoms, and the cold glow is dense; the mellow fragrance of the plum blossoms is hidden in the flowing wind.

Song Pan'er changed into a brand-new scarlet tapestry cloak, with a honey pink begonia trousers trimmed with silver edges and a moon-white threaded skirt.

She had her hair combed into a bun, two tortoiseshell combs on her head, and long silver lilac earrings on her ears. When she held her temples slightly with her bright wrists, the earrings were moving, and the brightness was pouring out.

"...I don't look good. I'm really afraid that the Queen Mother will see me and think I look like this." Song Pan'er muttered several times along the way.

When she met the Queen Mother for the first time, she felt uneasy.

The Queen Mother was Gu Jinzhi's future mother-in-law, which made her even more at a loss for fear of losing her daughter's face.

However, she was pregnant and thought that the color was not as good as before, and she was afraid that the Queen Mother would laugh at her in her heart.

Anyway, she was very nervous.

She started to get nervous when she received the order, and her nervousness still hadn't passed until the carriage was halfway down the road.

Gu Jinzhi quietly held her hand and said softly: "Mother, the Queen Mother is the most kind."

The Queen Mother now regards Gu Jinzhi as a life-saving Bodhisattva, so she will naturally not be serious to Song Pan'er.

Song Pan'er smiled, feeling quite reassured.

After a while, the carriage entered the palace.

Eunuch Chang from the Queen Mother's Palace was waiting for them at the entrance of the palace.

When we arrived at Kunning Palace, the bluestone in front of the palace gate gave off a slightly chilly glow against the sunlight.

Song Pan'er's palms were sweaty, and she didn't even have the energy to take care of Gu Jinzhi. When she raised her eyes, she saw that Gu Jinzhi was still the same calm person as before.

After setting foot on Danqi and entering Kunning Palace, I smelled a fragrance as calm as water, which should be burning rosemary.

When a palace maid came forward, Gu Jinzhi knelt down and called her aunt.

The anxiety in Song Pan'er's heart suddenly disappeared.

What are you afraid of? I won't eat her.

When it's time to calm down, Song Pan'er can hold up her position. No matter how anxious she is, it's useless, so just let it go.

Song Pan'er heard Gu Jinzhi call her aunt, and vaguely remembered that this aunt was the one who sent Gu Jinzhi home a few days ago.

She also saluted.

Aunt Cheng smiled and led the mother and daughter inside: "The Queen Mother has been waiting for a long time. She always asked the slaves to take a look. Have you arrived yet?"

"I was delayed a bit on the way, and I deserve to be damned if I kept the Queen Mother waiting." Song Pan'er said with a smile.

Entering the main hall, Song Paner lowered his head and walked lightly.

Gu Jinzhi walked behind her.

As soon as he stepped in, a loud boy's voice sounded, very happy and happy: "Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi!" Then with crisp steps, he ran towards Gu Jinzhi's mother and daughter.

In the main hall of Kunning Palace, the princes, princes and grandchildren would not dare to make such a noise, unless this person was the most doting and tolerable person of the Queen Mother.

There is no doubt that he is the fool King Luyang.

Song Pan'er quickly raised her eyes, looked at him twice, then lowered her head and followed Aunt Cheng forward.

Gu Jinzhi's hand has been tightly grasped by King Luyang.

He smiled brightly and looked at Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi had no choice but to hold him and smiled at him.

A group of people came forward and saluted the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother spoke with a warm voice and said calmly with a smile.

The palace maid brought brocade tea for them to sit on.

King Luyang sat next to Gu Jinzhi and whispered to her: "Xiao Qi, let's go play."

Gu Jinzhi did not move, but whispered: "It's cold outside, I'm afraid of the cold."

King Luyang quickly sat up straight and said, "I'm also afraid of the cold. It's warm here," without saying anything about going out to play.

When the Queen Mother looked at them, she didn't blame King Luyang for being disrespectful, but felt happy.

There were so many girls in the palace, many of whom were prettier than Gu Jinzhi, but King Luyang only liked to stick to Gu Jinzhi. It was as if he liked Gu Jinzhi at the first sight.

Is this a fate cultivated in previous lives?

Song Pan'er lowered his head and sat upright.

The Queen Mother smiled and called her in-laws: "...If it were an ordinary family, it would be the Ai family who would go to see you. But now you are asked to come to the palace to see me."

She said it very modestly.

Song Pan'er's heart moved slightly, and she quickly stood up and said: "Being able to meet the Queen Mother is a blessing for a commoner woman."

They said some kind words to each other.

The King of Luyang stayed glued to Gu Jinzhi's seat.

If this was a normal boy, he would be scolded as worthless. On the contrary, the Queen Mother likes him.

The King of Luyang looked at Gu Jinzhi, and there was joy in his brows as he encountered a treasure.

After saying a few words as usual, the Queen Mother became a little tired.

Aunt Cheng asked Gu Jinzhi to enter the inner hall and take the Queen Mother's pulse.

Song Pan'er stayed alone in the main hall.

"...You are in good health, there is no need to worry." Gu Jinzhi smiled and said to the Queen Mother, "It's just that after spring, although it is cold, due to weather changes, it is sometimes cold and sometimes hot, so you are prone to warm evil. My ancestors are good at controlling it.

Purple Snow Pill, with loquat leaves and licorice added, is most suitable for the Queen Mother to take. I will go back and ask my grandfather to make it and send it to the Queen Mother tomorrow."

There are many diseases in spring. People like the Queen Mother, who have been ill for a long time, have a weak constitution, age, Yin deficiency, and insufficient righteousness, so they can easily contract the evil of warmth and heat.

Like my cousin's sister Xi yesterday, she was also invaded by Wen Xie.

"Purple Snow Pill? I remember this name. I'm afraid there are some in the imperial pharmacy." The Queen Mother smiled and said, "It's good for you to come to the palace tomorrow to accompany the Ai family. There's no need to bother with the medicine."

Purple Snow Pill comes from Qianjin Yi Fang and is a common medicine for treating various types of fever.

The Queen Mother also eats it in the spring and autumn. Because the name is easy to hear, she has a vague impression of it.

"The Purple Snow Pill in our house is different from the one in the palace." Gu Jinzhi said with a smile, "The Purple Snow Pill used in the palace can only clear the mind and rejuvenate the mind. Our family has added loquat leaves and licorice. These two

The medicine moisturizes the lungs and relieves coughs, and is most suitable for the Queen Mother to use. Just taking the purple snow pill that is commonly used in the palace, and adding loquat leaves and licorice to boil it is not as effective as the pills made from it. You believe me this time."

The Queen Mother burst out laughing: "The Ai family only believes in your words. The Ai family will never dare to look at those imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital again."

The Queen Mother's condition was just burning of liver fluid. It was mistaken for wind-cold. As a result, it was delayed and became more and more serious. In the end, she suffered a lot.

Once she was bitten by a snake, she had been afraid of well ropes for ten years, so how could she dare to use Tai Hospital? Now, she only trusts Gu Jinzhi.

After talking for a long time, Gu Jinzhi stood up and left.

The Queen Mother nodded.

When King Luyang saw that Gu Jinzhi was about to leave, he screamed and burst into tears. He held Gu Jinzhi's hand and refused to let go: "Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, if you don't leave, you play with me."

The Queen Mother looked at him and sighed slightly, saying that he was useless.

He has a stupid temperament and is unreasonable. He believes in nothing and cannot say anything.

Gu Jinzhi's hand gently took his other hand and massaged it a few times. His suddenly anxious mood stabilized a lot.

"We are temporarily in Beijing to give gifts, so we are staying in the old house. The place is small and pitiful, so we can't take the prince to play. After a few days, my family has moved to a big house. I will send someone to invite the prince, okay?

"Gu Jinzhi said to the King of Luyang softly.

After saying that, she took the veil and wiped his tears.

She was very careful and patient, and the Queen Mother could see that she was not pretending at all.

The Queen Mother was deeply moved.

Gu Jinzhi is really caring and she doesn't dislike this silly child.

King Luyang didn't quite understand what Gu Jinzhi was saying. He knew that Gu Jinzhi was leaving, so he cried and refused to let go.

The Queen Mother said: "... When the late emperor built the Luyang Palace, he couldn't choose a suitable place. Finally, people from the Ministry of Industry said that after Mr. Mu's house was confiscated, the house had been vacant and could be used. Mr. Mu was imprisoned for corruption and exceeding the regulations.

For those who raided the house, the courtyard of Mu's Mansion was even more luxurious than the palace. Everything was ready-made when building the palace.

The late emperor agreed, made slight changes, and built a mansion each for the King of Luyang and the King of Nanchang.

The size of the prince's mansion in Beijing was custom-made. After building separate courtyards for the King of Luyang and the King of Nanchang, the remaining area was a bit small and not enough for the other princes to build mansions. The late emperor ordered it to be built

I built a small garden and made it more exquisite. I am thinking about which princess I will reward it to in the future. I haven’t rewarded it yet. I’m afraid the key is still in the Ministry of Works.”

Gu Jinzhi listened carefully.

These must be old things. How could the Queen Mother remember them all at once?

I'm afraid I thought about it first.

No wonder Aunt Cheng asked Aunt Cheng to take her home in person last time.

Gu Jinzhi listened without saying anything.

The Queen Mother did not wait for her to speak, and continued to say to Aunt Cheng: "Go and tell the Emperor that the Ai family wants the garden, and ask someone from the Ministry of Industry to send the key immediately, and the Ai family wants to reward Jinzhi."

Gu Jinzhi immediately said: "The Queen Mother, since the palace is built for the princess, we cannot afford to customize it."

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, the customization there did not reach the level of the princess's mansion. It is just small and exquisite, and the gardening and forestry work is extremely beautiful. The late emperor wanted to give the princess a separate courtyard. The place is small, but it is very beautiful.

.The Ai family said that day, if you heal the Ai family, I will make you a princess. Although it is no longer needed now, I will give you the garden, which is what you deserve."

Gu Jinzhi did not refuse anymore, knelt down, kowtowed, and said thanks.

King Luyang looked at the Queen Mother and Gu Jinzhi in confusion.

The Queen Mother said: "Zhongjun, Xiao Qi's house will live next door to your house from now on. You can go and play with Xiao Qi every day."

King Luyang understood this time and was overjoyed. He smiled, showing his pure white teeth.

The Queen Mother looked at it and was very happy.

Song Pan'er was waiting in the front courtyard. After waiting for a long time, Gu Jinzhi didn't come out again. She wondered in her heart, could it be that the Queen Mother's illness had relapsed?

Then I saw Aunt Cheng leaving in a hurry.

Song Paner was even more confused.

Then, another man in official uniform hurried in.

She waited for half an hour before Gu Jinzhi came out of the Queen Mother's inner hall.

Aunt Cheng still sent them mother and daughter.

After leaving the palace gate and getting on the carriage, Gu Jinzhi showed the key and the house deed to Song Pan'er: "Mother, this is the house that the Queen Mother rewarded us with."

Song Pan'er was not familiar with the capital and didn't know the benefits of this house. She just smiled and said, "Why do you want something from the Queen Mother?"

"I didn't want it. It was because the King of Luyang refused to let me go and wanted to play in my house. I said the place was not wide enough and I would invite him after I moved in a few days. The Queen Mother asked someone to bring me the keys and the house deed. I'm afraid it was

It has been prepared a long time ago." Gu Jinzhi said.
