Chapter 291

Qin Jiu's brothers, Qin Zeyu was a little dumb while Qin Zening was too short-tempered, in short, these brothers were just full of youthful vigor and don't know how politics works. But with Gu Zezhi in the future, she doesn't have to worry about these siblings.

The corners of Empress Wei's lips slightly curled up, satisfied with Gu Zezhi. Assured, she then change the topic, "Xiao Jiu, how is your new house set up?"

Speaking of the new mansion, Qin Jiu got excited and talked about how she arranged the house in detail, she also talked about the florist and the camellias that Gu Zezhi gave her, she also mentioned how they demolished a yard for Qin Zening and Qin Zeyu to make into a training hall.

Empress Wei knew from Qin Jiu's words that the siblings were doing well after moving out of the Marquis's house, so naturally, she was relieved and looked a little better.

A while later, the emperor cleared his throat and said, "Xiao Jiu, stay in the palace for two more days and talk with your aunt."

Qin Jiu readily responded.

"Du Ruo," Qin Jiu said to Du Ruo with a smile, "Go back and tell my elder brother that I'm going to stay here with my aunt for a while, and they should take care of themselves."

Hearing Qin Jiu says this, Empress Wei's smile deepened as she said, "Xiao Jiu, you can stay as long as you like!"

Gu Zhen was also happy after hearing that Qin Jiu was going to stay in the palace for a while.

At this time, eunuch Zhou Xin came in and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, servants have checked the imperial garden, recently, willow catkins have flown. Some catkins are seen flying around when we arrived at the rockery next to Yuanxiang Water Pavilion, the catkins probably came blowing with the wind and the empress happened to pass by..."

The emperor's eyes flickered and waved his hand signaling Zhou Xin to step back.

Empress Wei smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I'm fine. You still have government affairs to do, so don't stay here with your consort."

"Xiao Jiu is here so I'll be fine. Zhen'er it's time for you to study, you can't be lazy!"

Gu Zhen was reluctant but still obediently stood up from the brocade stool and bowed to Empress Wei respectfully, "Yes, Empress Mother."

With the two being kicked out, the emperor took Gu Zhen away, and finally, only Qin Jiu was left alone in Fengluan palace to gossip with Empress Wei.

Qin Jiu said whatever came to her mind, she told her what book she had read, she also showed Empress Wei the handkerchief she embroidered recently, and also talk embarrassing things about Qin Zeyu...

Before she knew it, Qin Jiu drank two cups of tea and continued to talk happily until the curtain was raised again, and You Bai came in . She courtside and said, "Empress, the third Princess asked for an audience."

After a pause, You Bai added, "The Third Princess said it was important."

Empress Wei: "Let her in."

As if nothing happened, Empress Wei continued talking to Qin Jiu, "This child, A'Yu, has been spoiled by us since he was young, fortunately for Xiao Jiu you can control him and is willing to listen to you...."

Princess Changning, who was waiting outside the bedroom also heard the chatter and laughter from inside, her eyes dimmed and disappeared in a flash.

You Bai opened the curtain and came out, she then stretched out her hand as a gesture of inviting her inside, "Third Princess, please."

Princess Changning walked in calmly and nonchalantly, followed by her personal palace maid Ling Xiang, who was carrying a red lacquer-carved food box in her hand.

"Imperial Mother." Princess Changning gracefully greeted Empress Wei.

After Qin Jiu got up and courtside, she sat down again, still sitting on the brocade next to Empress Wei's couch.

Seeing that Qin Jiu had no intention to step aside, and since she was not in a position to kick her out, Princess Changning could only take another half step closer to Empress Wei's couch and asked with concern, "Imperial Mother, how are you feeling?"

"Much better," said Empress Wei with a smile.

"That's good." Princess Changning took a long breath of relief, "This daughter was really worried about imperial mother."

Princess Changning's voice was gentle and soft, her eyes were red, and her pretty little face was full of anxiety and worry.

She wiped the moist in the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and then added: "Imperial Mother, this daughter looked through the medical books for a long time and saw a folk remedy so this daughter asked the imperial physician and found out that this folk remedy is very effective for your qi disease, so this daughter boiled the medicine herself."

"Changning, I appreciated your kindness." Empress Wei said in a faint voice. "After the imperial physician's acupuncture, this empress feels much better."

"Imperial Mother, just try it." Princess Changning frowned and said worriedly, "Your health is not good, and this daughter has difficulty resting day and night thinking that this daughter is useless and can't do anything but only pray for you day and night and look through medical books, thankfully this daughter found this folk remedy."

Without waiting for Empress Wei's consent, Princess Changning opened the food box that was on the hand of the maid who was next to her and took out a bowl of steaming black soup from it.

Holding the blue and white porcelain medicine bowl in both hands, she presented it to Empress Wei.

The empress couldn't casually eat anything, even medicine, so instead of accepting and drinking it there, this bowl of soup medicine was taken by Xu momo who was beside Empress Wei.

Princess Changning then gave the medicine bowl to Xu momo, and at the same time withdrew her hand when her left sleeve slid down a little along her forearm revealing white bandages on the wrist, there were even still some spots of blood which looked horrible to see.

Princess Changning uttered "ah" in panic, like a frightened deer, and pulled down the cuff to cover the bandage on her left wrist.

Her eyes flickered as she darted up to look at Empress Wei, and then nervously hurriedly lowered her face.
