Chapter 91 Mother-in-law tests son-in-law
Qi took her son's hand, just smiled and didn't say anything, just observing quietly, as if the person in front of her was so dreamy, she was afraid that she would be awakened if she said something more. Du Shaoqing also knew that her mother's feelings for her, and cooperated with her that she did not break the tranquility of this moment.
Until Xiao Xuanxuan next to her couldn't wait, she shook Qi's hand and said coquettishly: "Grandma, where are Xuanxuan? Why are you always watching Daddy? It was Xuanxuan who woke you up, you ignored them."
Looking back at his granddaughter with a complaining look on his face, Qi hugged him in his arms, "Yes, yes, I forgot my good granddaughter, grandma was wrong, grandma was wrong."
Du Shaoqing looked at the happy look of his grandparents and grandsons, smiled knowingly, stood up and said, "Mom just woke up and must be hungry. I'll go and make some food for you now."
"No, come and talk to my mother. I have been thinking about it for twenty years this day, and today I finally got what I want. Just leave the cooking to the servants." The old lady thought she was in the Duke of Lai.
"Where are there any servants? You are in the Imperial Hospital now. I took you here for treatment yesterday." Du Shaoqing smiled.
"Why, why are you here? Why aren't you at home? I have agreed with your two younger brothers to bring you back to recognize your ancestors. Did they go back on their word and fool them into making their mother?" Qi asked in confusion.
"Don't you remember what happened before? Forget it, let Xuanxuan compensate you for your words. I'll make some food for you first. After you have enough, let's talk about it slowly. Everything at home is fine. You are here to treat the disease." Du Shaoqing patted my mother's hand and comforted her.
On the other hand, Zhang Chuchen was still persuading Empress Changsun, "Since this child is Du Xiang's son, he is completely worthy of Changle. Sister should not stop him. After all, the kids are so old. The two really have lovers. Why both of them have their own daughters?
Empress Changsun frowned slightly, "Sister will talk to him. Lizhi is my daughter. Of course, I want her to marry a good family. Although he is the eldest son of Du Xiang, he has no official position or a white body. Even if I am more generous, I will not ignore this family background for the time being.
But I must try his character, ability, and true love. If he does not meet my criteria for choosing a son-in-law, or is not loyal to love, then I will never agree. I will not look at the inhumane of my daughter."
"Hey, why are you so stubborn? Do you ignore Changle's idea?" Zhang Chuchen said helplessly, actually disagreeing in his heart, because when it comes to character and ability, Du Shaoqing is not sure how many emperors have been better than the prince consorts. Those playboys and second generation ancestors have never seen you, the queen, come forward to test.
These princesses are all your daughters. Are they still being used by the emperor as bargaining chips to win over the court officials? Do you just love Changle alone? Of course, Zhang Chuchen cannot say this.
At this moment, the palace maid came to report that Princess Changle insisted on seeing the queen.
"Haha, look, stop us from letting the whole family meet, let's see how your daughter makes trouble for you." Zhang Chuchen covered his mouth and smiled.
The two of them came to Princess Changle's residence, and the princess looked anxious, "My mother, did Xuanxuan come to Chang'an? I seemed to see her being with Sister Snow."
"Oh? Have you met?" the queen said in surprise, but then she thought that this was impossible. If she met, Xiao Xuanxuan would definitely not be like nothing happened.
"Is this true? Mother, please let your daughter go out. I can't ignore my child." Princess Changle rushed up and cried.
The queen said seriously: "Enough, I'm doing it for your own good. Du Shaoqing is innocent and has no power. Even if you can go to recognize each other without considering your reputation, where will you let the royal family face be? Can your father and daughter be tolerated?"
The princess was speechless and stared at her mother in a daze, "But he is already Du Xiang's son."
"So what? I didn't recognize my ancestors and return to my hometown, and I had no official position or title, and Du Xiang was gone again, and I was not worthy of you after all.
At most, your father will not kill him in front of his father, but the result will definitely not be good.
You don't have to worry about this matter anymore. Leave it to your mother later. I can guarantee you that if this kid is sincere to you, then I can also pull him. If he is a ruthless person, hum, you'd better forget it.
If you don’t want to harm the father and daughter, then before that, all you have to do is not to disclose your relationship with him, nor to meet them.”
The queen's face turned pale and she could not refute her words at all. The princess's face was pale, but she could only nod her head obediently.
Zhang Chuchen next to him said helplessly: "You mother and daughter, why bother with you?"
In the Imperial Hospital, Du Shaoqing personally stewed a pot of rotten millet porridge for his mother and a bowl of nourishing mutton soup. There was no iron pot here, so he had to make do with some things.
Seeing his son feeding him with a bowl, Qi smiled happily as if he was several years younger. He saw that he had lost his son and couldn't see enough.
"You mean, mother is not a disease, is it someone poisoned?" After dinner, the two of them talked about the incident, and Qi asked in surprise.
"That's right, and it's certain that the poisoned person is still a close person around you. He is still investigating the murderer. Do you still remember who ordered the spices in your house on the day or the day before?" Du Shaoqing asked.
Shaking her head, Qi said, "In the past, the second maid Xiaoju made the cleaning and decoration in the room, but she has worked in our house for many years, so it wouldn't be her."
"It's hard to say now. Dali Temple is sending someone to investigate. In short, after finding out, I will never let the murderer go." Du Shaoqing said in a hatred.
"Forget it, my child, isn't this okay? Don't hold grudges on others anymore. I can find you because God has the Vision of the Bodhisattva. I don't want you to worry about this." Qi persuaded.
At this time, Empress Changsun and Hongfunu walked in from outside. When the queen saw that Qi had woken up, she smiled and said, "Oh, are you mother and son whispering? I also said to see if Sister Qi has woken up. It's not the time for Sister Hong and I to come."
"Ah, it's Aunt Queen!" Du Xuanxuan, who was playing with cats on the side, said in surprise, and then trotted over to say hello.
Qi was about to turn over and get out of bed, and Empress Changsun hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Sister Qi was resting before he recovered. Sister was sitting next to your bed. Just talk to us sisters."
Before she sat down, the queen saw the bowls and chopsticks next to her, "Hmm? Have you just eaten?"
"Haha, the child is filial. I know I am hungry and I personally made it for me." Qi praised his son and said.
Hongfu Nu echoed, "Miss Qi is lucky. Your son's skills are amazing. He is much better at cooking than the imperial chefs in the palace."
Qi thought it was someone else who praised her son, but she didn't care, but the queen grabbed the conversation, "Oh? Is it? I can't compare to the imperial chef? That's not OK. I have to try it. Recently, because I have been sick, I have no appetite for every meal. I wonder if Doctor Du can condescend to make some appetizing delicacies for me?"
