The fragrance of sandalwood filled the air as the delicate girl put on her makeup …

One of the maidservants by the side took out a golden, verdant, and verdant butterfly hairpin and placed it onto Consort De's bun. "Empress, this golden hairpin is very meticulous. The moment the hairpin is worn over your hair, it'll make you look even more beautiful."

Consort De smiled and said absent-mindedly, "Change this golden hairpin into a simple jade hairpin. It's better to wear a jade hairpin when the weather is too hot."

The maid gave an awkward smile and said, "If you don't find Sister Jingxiang, then combing the Empress's hair is no longer a servant."

Consort De was stunned for a moment. She suddenly remembered that she had heard Hua Xi mention this at noon. However, a guest had arrived in the hall …

Laiding himself in the hall, Xiaoxiao changed the teacups three times. Seeing that Laiding did not continue drinking the tea, she hurriedly asked, "Master Li, do you want some snacks? Our Blue Cloud Palace's snacks are pretty good."

Li Ting was now full. He used to be closed, but now he really couldn't eat anymore.

Just as Li Ting was about to decline, he heard Consort De's voice, "Sorry for making you wait for so long. You must really not come out to see Teacher after taking a nap."

As the saying goes, one does not hit a smiling person. Consort De's words of calling him 'sir' was truly unbearable.

Li Ting put away the fan in his hand and clasped his fists. "Imperial Concubine De is too kind. This humble one doesn't deserve to be the esteemed Empress' teacher!"

Consort De's smile was beautiful, as if her eyes were filled with happiness, "Then I'll listen to Master Li. I just heard from little Xi Zi that you want a solitaire from me. May I ask Master Li how you know that I have such a solitaire?"

Li Ting glanced at his surroundings, then suddenly stood up and said, "The Empress's flowers here are blooming very well. Today, I learned that this fragile little flower that grew in a basin can blossom so sweetly. If it wasn't for my care, I'm afraid I would have been defeated long ago. In the end, I turned into a handful of mud and disappeared."

Consort De's hand that was holding the brocade handkerchief tightened as he said to the people within the hall, "All of you, go down and wait. It's rare to see anything of nature today. I want to have a good talk with Master Li …"

When the servants left, Consort De's smile immediately disappeared as she asked in a stern voice, "What is the meaning of this?"

Seeing Concubine De's reaction, Li Ting also naturally opened his mouth and began to speak frankly. He said, "Empress should understand that following Chen Chengqiu is like following a venomous snake that spits its its tongue."

Consort De's face paled and asked, "How did you know?"

Li Ting thought that they would waste some time talking, but unexpectedly, with just a few words, he had exposed Consort De's true identity. This way, it would save him a lot of trouble.

"Empress, there is no need to worry about what will happen to Li Ting, but I am on the same boat as Empress. At the very least, we have a similar goal."

Consort De's heart felt a little more at ease. She raised her head and said, "Teacher Li, can you tell me what my goal is?"

Li Ting snickered in his heart. If he didn't see the hare or the woman who wouldn't let go of her hawk, could the poison in the Empress's body be cured?

"There's no need for you to worry about that. I can naturally cure it myself!" Consort De's heart was thumping. If the poison was cured, then there would be no need to be afraid of Chen Chengqiu, and he would not know the details …

Li Ting was too lazy to beat around the bush with her and said, "If the Empress's poison could be cured, it would have already been cured. Why wait until today? Besides, has the Empress thought of Chen Chengqiu's goal? "

"I'm under his control, so I naturally have to listen to him. If I can cure the poison, then naturally everything will be negotiable. As for the intentions of this crown prince, I'm not sure."

"Imperial Concubine, have you ever thought about how you would explain this to the emperor if big sister Hua Xi is truly pregnant?" Li Ting looked at Consort De's expression and saw that it was growing increasingly ugly. He continued, "If the Empress succeeds, will Chen Chengqiu give the Empress a way out?"

Consort De's mind spun as she coldly asked, "Then why are you telling me all this?"

Li Ting's beautiful eyes looked unblinkingly at Consort De and said, "I don't want esteemed guest Leng to be used again. She is not suitable for this place. For the Empress to leave Ting'er's side, the rest depends on your decision. "

A bunch of unknown flowers were blooming in the corner. A faint fragrance was wafting in all directions. A gust of wind blew in, bringing with it a fresh scent.

Ting strode out from the hall. There were puddles and puddles on the cobblestone path just after the rain. The sunlight shone like a small mirror that had just turned on.

Ten steps away from the fake mountain, there were several white porcelain lotuses in a vat. Inside the vat, there were white lotuses blooming. Hua Xi stood there, carefully looking at the flower bud that had just bloomed.

From Li Ting's point of view, he could see that she was standing with her back to him. Her watery pink clothes made her seem extremely attractive under the sunlight. Her pale cheeks were suffused with a faint pink hue, like a peach blossoming in spring.

Hua Xi seemed to have sensed something, and turned around with a smile on her face. Li Ting only felt something flying out from his chest, his heart beating incessantly.

In the end, he fled in panic …

Egret Palace:

A rare guest came to the palace today, a guest more beautiful than flowers.

Ru Yi went to the kitchen to bring over a lot of snacks and even a jar of sweet osmanthus wine. Looking at the girl eating happily, she asked softly, "Does big sister want me to wake up my noble family member?"

Qingluo quickly swallowed her saliva and said, "Aiyaya, you cute little girl. I'll wait for a while, didn't your young miss tired last night …"

Ru Yi's face reddened. Although she was young, she still knew some things. Last night, every time the emperor came, Jadeite Jiejie would let him go down. She said something about letting him rest well and coming back tomorrow to stand guard for her.

Qingluo ate and drank to her heart's content as she sized up the furnishings in Chen Shu's hall. Bai Yunfan was indeed meticulous. Even though his sleeping hall wasn't decorated in a luxurious and beautiful manner, it was still quite ingenious …

Qingluo rolled her eyes. Bai Yunfan had a rather strong defense against people. The screens in Little Shu'er's hall were all made of jade and stone. If they were wooden screens, they might have been soaked in poison.

Just as Qingluo was getting bored, Wen Wen rushed in. The pink and tender glutinous rice ball was really lovable. It captured Qingluo's heart the moment they met.

Lightly spitting out a fruit core from his mouth, he extended his hand towards Wen Wen and said, "Aiyaya, whose little darling is this? Come and let me hug you!"

Wen Wen looked at the glimmering light in Qing Luo's eyes and said with disdain, "Beautiful Mumu, what are you here for?"

The clever little girl knew how to bargain. Qingluo said with a doting expression on her face, "Mumu is here to play with a beauty. It's a good chance to see if the beauty is well or not."

Wenwen walked up to Qingluo and pulled on her clothes with her small hand. With her small face raised high, she asked, "What happened to mother? I hope Mumu can tell me."

"Mumm was wrong just now. He found a reason to play with a beauty."

Wen Wen's small face relaxed and said mischievously, "Mumu, why are you here to play with mother?"

"Kiss me gently, and Mumm will tell you."

I can't help it, how can adults be like this? Luckily this Mumu is so good-looking, if they wanted to be like an old nanny with a face like a monkey's bottom, seriously …

"No need to warm up, Mumu is bad ~"

Qingluo giggled and comforted, "Aiyo, my darling is unhappy!" Qingluo thought for a moment and then continued, "Then can you please discuss something with Wen Mumu?"

Wen Wen cutely nodded. Her eyes smilingly narrowed into slits as her cute little canines were slightly revealed. Immediately, she was brimming with happiness. She whispered to Wen Wen Wen, "Mumu is so good-looking. Wen, call Mumu elder sister."

Warm, deer-like eyes turned as he shouted, "Hello, Big Sister Mumu!"

Ru Yi, who was standing at the side, burst out in laughter. The little princess was too adorable. She had clearly said something to make people angry, but the obedient little person couldn't get angry no matter how he looked at it.

Qingluo was surprised for a moment, then laughed out loud, "Mumu was wrong. When you meet me in the future, just call me big sister, okay?"

Wen Wen's delicate eyebrows creased. The following words nearly made Qingluo collapse, "Wen Wen call Big Sister Mumu, then doesn't that mean Mumu will be addressed as the beautiful mother like Wen Wen!"

Was there something wrong with him? Was this logic? Did he deserve it... Therefore, he couldn't pretend to be inexperienced. He had to learn to accept reality. It was such a shame for him to plop down on the chair with a flop. [Previous Chapter] [Table of Contents] [Next Chapter]

Qingluo suddenly thought of her foolish son, then looked at the cute and pretty little girl in front of her. Qingluo was so angry that she wanted to kill someone. Silly cutie ~

As soon as he stepped out of the room, he heard the content of Wen Qingluo's words. He was laughing so hard that his stomach hurt, and he could not help but say, "Sister Li, Shu'er can't afford to call you mother, but Brother Wang is not willing to call Bai Yunfan his father …"

Qing Luo's face was so red that blood could drip from it. It was one thing to be made fun of by Chen Shu, but how could this be said that even a child couldn't win against him? If it couldn't be said, they would have to take back their reputation.

Seeing Chen Shu's flushed face, Qingluo knew that she had gotten back at him. Sure enough, Chen Shu was blushing all over as she said in a low voice, "Sister …"

Without waiting for Chen Shu to finish, Qingluo picked up Wen Wen and said with a smile, "Did you hear that, little darling. Your mother calls me big sister, so you have to call me big sister."

Warm hands pressed on Qingluo's chest, seemingly not hearing Qingluo's words. Instead, she continued to ask, "Mumu, what is hidden inside your clothes? It's bulging and fragrant and soft."

Qing Luo's originally proud expression suddenly turned into the color of a pig's liver. He couldn't hide his big chest these days.

Chen Shu took Wen Hezheng's hand and gently said, "This is a secret. When Wen grows up, I will discover this secret myself. If mother tells you now, then it won't be fun."

Warm and gentle, she said, "I saw that you stuffed your clothes with cloth, making them as big as Mumu's. The adults' age, the children's age, they're all gone …"

Forget it, Bai Yunfan had truly been deceived by Bai Yunfan. With his intelligence and warmth, why would he need her to be his mother?

Chen Shu glanced at Qingluo and asked, "Sister, what brings you here today?"

"Can't I come and see you?" Qingluo glanced at Wen Wen and gave Chen Shu a look.

Chen Shu smiled. In the next second, he understood what she meant. He said to Wen Wen, "Wen Wen, what are you planning to do this afternoon?"

Warm hands wrapped around Chen Shu's neck as he said, "Uncle Li Ting is playing the zither today. Warm hands hurt because he doesn't want to play the zither …"

Chen Shu took it and looked at it warmly. His meaty hands had a hint of purple on them. Although he was pained, he still said, "Go find the mama and get some ointment to rub on it. Tell Uncle Li a good talk and see if you can get lazy today so that Uncle Li can tell you a story."

Wen Wen pouted. She was no longer happy. However, after hearing the latter half of the sentence, she realized that her mother's heart ached for her. A cute smile appeared on her chubby face. She had completely forgotten that she came to Chen Shu for the sake of laziness.

Chen Shu smiled tenderly as he watched Wen Jing run out. Although he was smarter than other kids, Wen Wen was still not more than five years old.

Qingluo felt somewhat unhappy in her heart. She said to Wen Hei, "Have you seen enough?"

Chen Shu bashfully smiled and said, "Big sister is really angry?" "Wen Wen is still a child …"

Qingluo propped up her cheeks and closed her charming eyes. Her black hair was tied into a bun as she silently said, "Little Shu'er, my Hu Zi doesn't have any other good points apart from his sturdy appearance."

Chen Shu chuckled and said, "It's really good to be so warm and warm, but you're actually quite quick-witted. It's fine if it's just one, but it's not good if a girl is too smart."

In the past, the two of them only talked about rouge and cosmetics, or women's red calligraphy and painting. How could they talk about their children like this? Time was truly ruthless. If they were a little bit careless, they would have disappeared without a trace.

"Is the Sunflower Water still in great pain?"

"It's much better now. No matter when it was before, I would have had to cover it with Grandma Tang as soon as she came. This summer has truly been unbearable."

Qingluo still had her eyes closed and said, "You were previously injured, so if you were injured, let's not talk about …" Qingluo's hand rested on Chen Shu's wrist. After a while, she said, "Indeed, it's much better than before. Xiaofan has given you a lot of medicinal food in these three months you've been in the palace ~"

Chen Shu's big eyes were filled with confusion as he said in surprise, "Really? The meals I usually eat are all ordinary dishes and I don't feel any medicinal flavor at all."

Qingluo stood up, pinched Chen Shu's face, and disdainfully said, "Look at your face, Shuidi is indeed not fake, but this chubby one is also real." Since the medicinal cuisine had the word 'cuisine' on it, it naturally couldn't have the medicinal taste... "Why is my little Shu'er so stupid?"

Chen Shu blushed and asked in a daze, "Am I very dumb?"

Gritting his teeth, he said, "No wonder. I heard from Wang Sheng that you were beaten up by a eunuch under Consort De's command, and you didn't even explain anything in front of the emperor. How are you going to protect the warmth in the future?

"I was just stunned for a moment …" What Chen Shu said made no sense at all.

Qingluo waved her hand and said, "Doctor, if you are sick, I will write a prescription for you to eat on time." She flicked her clothes and said, "Put less ice in your room. If you get pregnant, you won't be able to keep it safe."

Chen Shu sat dazedly on the chair. Sister Qingluo's words were very true, she had to protect the warmth of the room …

Qingluo nodded her head in satisfaction as she looked at Chen Shu's thoughtful expression. She then went to find Bai Yunfan to report. Once again, the glittering gold went into Li Qingluo's pocket …
