Being the King of War's Smart Wife
Visiting the Queen Mother
NEXT MORNING.
Li Chang Su was awakened by his biological clock. When Xuxu and Xuyao went in to serve a glass of warm milk and opened the window, the girl was still a bit reluctant to get up. Xuxu opened the bed gauze and tied it to the pole, then woke the girl up.
The sun had crawled from the eastern horizon until the girl narrowed her eyes as the sunlight hit her body. He woke up rubbing his eyes. The bed next to him had cooled down. It seemed that Mu Xianzhai woke up early.
"The noble went to the Second Prince's Palace early in the morning. Looking hasty, it seemed that something had happened," Xuxu reported like he knew what Li Chang Su was looking for.
"What's really going on?" The girl was curious.
Xuxu shook his head. "We don't know for sure. But his noble cousin came with a bad expression earlier. Maybe the second prince's situation isn't good enough."
"Daughter, shall we check it out?" ask Xuyao.
"We'll leave if Xian hasn't returned. All right, breakfast first." Li Chang Su got off the bed and went to take a shower. Xuxu cleared the bed and Xuyao prepared a breakfast menu.
After the girl cleaned herself up, a glass of warm milk was immediately spent. Then breakfast chicken porridge and also a good green vegetable soup. Sure enough, Mu Xianzhai did not return during the day before noon so Li Chang Su invited the two to go for a walk.
He Ze also ventured out while holding the boiled beans. They boarded a train to the palace where the queen mother and retired emperor lived.
"Daughter, why are we going to the queen's palace?" Xuyao felt that her master's goal wasn't to that place.
"Ask the situation first. I also want to see Grandma's health today." Li Chang Su stroked the fine feathers on He Ze's body. "It seems that the Lict is so calm with Mu Hongzhi."
"Daughter, is the man named Lict a man from a foreign land?" Xuxu was very curious about the man who was the same age as the princess.
"He is of Chinese and European blood. But spent all his childhood in China. So it's still our people" explained Li Chang Su.
"Oh, she has beautiful blue eyes. Like the life of the old emperor."
"Well, he inherited European blood." Li Chang Su was also helpless. The litt will surely be mistaken for a prince, but it is not. Today, however, the princes do not have blue irises.
After arriving at the front gate of the queen mother's palace, the guard found out if it was Princess Xian, so immediately reported to the old woman. Before long, the guards came and greeted the friendly Li Chang Su. The girl herself went downstairs and asked her two servants to bring two boxes of food for the retired emperor. As usual, he promised to visit here regularly.
When he arrived at the courthouse, Li Chang Su could see if the old woman was sitting in one of the small gazebos while reading some virtue books and prayers for the gods.
"Grandmother" said the girl immediately giving her greeting.
The Queen Mother coughed lightly and seeing if her granddaughter-in-law had come while bringing food for the retired emperor, a small smile painted her face. The old woman wore a golden yellow dress that was no longer bright and passionate, but looked graceful and courteous. He asked Li Chang Su to come and sit down.
"Su'er visiting Grandma this time was really fun. But next time there was no need to bother bringing food for the old man," the Queen Mother said with a slight sneer when reminded of the retired emperor who was overfed lately. But on the other hand, he also felt happy when the old man's bones no longer looked like a living skeleton.
Li Chang Su sat across from the Queen Mother and smiled wryly. "It's okay. Grandpa likes to eat, that's good. Su'er also made some health soup for Grandma" he said.
"Good boy." The Queen Mother coughed again and begged him in a gentle tone. "Well, Xian'er's not coming?" Seeing the girl coming with just her two servants, the Queen Mother was a little worried. These couples don't fight, do they?
"Yes God ... It's only fitting that your grandfather said that food wouldn't come to this house. You have a fever." The Queen Mother expressed little displeasure at the thought of her husband who only focused on food. "The old man was heartless. Her grandson's daughter-in-law is sick but still remembers food, so brash."
The Queen Mother would probably hit her husband with a stick later. Li Chang Su was helpless and shook his head. He felt that nothing was wrong. Let it.
"Grandmother, can I check your body condition?" ask the girl.
"of course. Grandma is getting better lately. The people who were watching this palace also seemed to have withdrawn themselves. Probably worried about suspicion." The old woman gave a rough sigh and stretched out her right hand.
"Did that happen after grandpa came home?"
"Yes, you're right. The other party seemed to have been on alert. The empress' heart was already black and her son inherited the ugliness of her behavior. Grandma has asked your father-in-law to keep watch" Suri said slowly.
Li Chang Su checked the pulse of the Queen Mother's tone and found no oddity. The old woman will be fine after this and her condition is also getting better.
"Oh yes ... The first prince's wife is due to give birth this month. You go there and see how it is. Grandma was worried that her wife's birth was in a way. Moreover, at this time some secret feuds had occurred. The first prince was probably busy outside," explained the Queen Mother rather worriedly.
"The first prince's wife previously had twins?" li Chang Su asked. He knew from Mu Xianzhai that the first prince's wife had twins. No wonder Mu Xianzhai wanted to have children at that time.
"Yes. His children are still small now. That good woman has given me a great-grandchild. Well, when are you guys gonna catch up?"
Li Chang Su's face immediately turned red. "Maybe three more years. I don't want to have a child too early" to be honest.
"Hey, this young man. Xian is getting old. She must have wanted to have children too" the Queen Mother deliberately teased her.
"Grandmother, I'll think about it later."
"Alright, alright ... Grandma won't tease you anymore. Come here, not just visit?"
"How did Grandma know?"
"What doesn't this Grandma know? You're not a fire-saving light girl. Xian'er is lucky to have you. How are you two, is it improving?" The Queen Mother knew that Li Chang Su was reluctant to marry Mu Xianzhai back then. And gave him a cold face. Now, it seems that the couple is more harmonious.
"It's okay. We're fine." Li Chang Su took a sip of the tea served by the waiter.
Before long, the old man's cry reached his second ear. The Queen Mother immediately had a cold face when she found out that the voice of the cry belonged to the retired emperor. It seemed that the affairs in the Imperial Palace were done so the Retired Emperor came home early.
The retired Emperor came to meet the second with his old fox expression. Then the Queen Mother immediately took the stick she carried with her at all times.
"You old fox!! Is your head just food and food?!" The Queen Mother yelled angrily at the old man and hit him.
"ah! My wife, why are you angry? I just greeted my granddaughter-in-law!" The retired Emperor immediately turned pale-faced when he saw that his wife was already angry.
