Qing Guifei looked at the empty courtyard and was somewhat puzzled: "Where is your princess?"

  "Dong Chen was also somewhat puzzled, but as for Qianjius whereabouts, he generally understood: Back to the princess, the queen is not in the courtyard, usually its in the kitchen."

  "Because I have been helping the prince with his physical conditioning recently, all of the princes meals are being prepared by the princess. Its also time for lunch now."

  Dong Chen said after finishing, still looked at Wang Ye, Wang Ye, Im doing my best to speak well for the princess.

  Muyexiao was also satisfied with this answer, and Qing Guifei nodded: "Then go to the kitchen, when you arrive at the kitchen door, none of you are allowed to speak, Ben Gong will enter by herself."

  She led the way to the kitchen, and Mu Ye Xiang and Dong Chen couldnt help but exchange a glance. What was Qing Gui Fei up to today?

  Why does he have this feeling that his mother is coming today just to cause trouble?

  At this time, Muyexiaos feelings had been ignored, because Qing Guifei had already arrived in front of the kitchen. Sure enough, she saw someone busy inside the kitchen.

  And that flavor is so fragrant, this daughter-in-law seems to still have some redeeming qualities. Thinking of this, Qing Guifei coughed twice, showing off her presence.

  In 1999, upon hearing a cough, he naturally turned his head to look back and saw a beautiful woman standing there. Those who could stand here were naturally not ordinary people.

  Qianjiu thought for a moment and felt that his attitude should be better, Hongliang and Hongshao did know Qinggui Fei, but how did Qinggui Fei come?

  And just as the two of them were about to speak, they received a warning glance from Qing Gui Fei, silencing them.

  At this moment, the two of them didnt dare to speak anymore and could only look at Qianjiu with a face full of apology. Qianjiu, however, wasnt looking at them, but instead her gaze was attracted by Qingguifei who appeared at the door.

  She walked a few steps and came before Consort Qing: "This sister is so beautiful, are you here to find me in my courtyard?"

  Qing Guifei heard this title, first stunned for a moment, then felt some excitement in her heart, looking at Qianjiu: "This child really has good eyesight, what delicious food are you making?"

  Everyone originally heard Qianjius title and had a thunderous expression, Princess, that is your mother-in-law, not your sister.

  But when I heard Consort Qingguis response, it was even more infuriating. How could you not be affected by being praised and still maintain your original attitude? Didnt you come here looking for trouble?

  Qianjiu looked at the crowd in the courtyard and saw that no one seemed to intend to stop her from talking to this sister, so she felt relieved and could speak freely.

  "This is the chicken soup Ive been simmering, its for nourishing the body. Your Highnesss health is too poor, needs to be taken care of properly, and in about a week, youll be mostly recovered."

  "Right, sister, Ive made a lot, you can try some later too, my cooking skills are still good."

  Muyexiao finally couldnt help but cough twice: "Empress Dowager, that is your daughter-in-law. And Jiuer, this is my Empress Dowager, Qing Guifei, you should call her Empress Dowager."

  Qianjiu heard this sentence and immediately became flustered! What the heck! Is this her mother-in-law? No way, its that damn mother-in-law, from now on she and Jiu are done.

  But now, thinking of this, Qiujius eyes lit up, this is indeed the emperors concubine.

  Why did Qianjiu feel a surge of excitement in her heart? Looking at Qing Guifei, Qianjiu smiled so sweetly: "The daughter-in-law has seen the empress dowager and is paying respects."

  "Its been several days since I last entered the palace to pay respects to Your Majesty, and as a daughter-in-law, my heart is filled with anxiety. Now, its even more troubling that you have taken the trouble to come here, which is all my fault."

  Qianjiu suddenly changed his style, a standard noble lady, making Muyeye and others stare with wide eyes, is this really the same person?

  Isnt she schizophrenic? Able to transform into another person in an instant? Even Qing Guifei was stunned, how does she have such great power?

  Muyexiao coughed twice and looked at Qianjiu: "Speak properly."

  1999 was suddenly called a grievance, she worked so hard to show it, but not for Mu Ye Xiang ah, at least her identity couldnt be exposed.

  But what is good talk? However, her face was full of confusion: "Ive always spoken like this?"

  The shepherd boy couldnt help but look up at the sky, youve already shown your true nature, whats the point of pretending anymore? Do you think you can fool anyone else?

  Whats wrong with this guys brain? Mu Ye Xiao only felt that a flock of crows flew over the courtyard...

  Qianjiu looked at everyones expressions and couldnt help but put down her hands, feeling a bit depressed: "Whats wrong? You all look like you dont recognize me. Dont all the ladies of the inner chamber speak like that?"

  "Dont I look like one?"

  Qing Guifei heard this and suddenly smiled: "Youre pretending to be quite like, its just too much like, I guess theyve never seen your familys virtuous daughters side, so theyre surprised."

  "Mother, you are a good person, you are better than all of them."

  "Oh dear, Your Majesty, have you smelled something?"

  "Good heavens, my stir-fry is burnt."

  Everyone is standing here, Qianjiu has already forgotten about her dish, went back to the pot and found that the dish was already mushy, forget it, cant eat anymore.

  Qing Guifei slightly raised the corner of her mouth and glanced at Mu Ye Xiang: "Imperial son, your mother will stay for lunch to keep you company."

  Mu Ye didnt oppose: "Then lets have Mother Empress stay, Jiuers craftsmanship is still good."

  Qianjiu listened to Mu Yes voice and shivered, how could it be so cold! Goosebumps were about to appear, what was this Wang doing?

  In front of his mother, hes so affectionate, doesnt he know that mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are natural enemies?

  I dont know if Consort Qing will make things difficult for her, but it doesnt seem like she would. Anyway, Ill just go cook dinner first. If Consort Qing does make things difficult for her, then she can just endure it.

  Anyway, shes so pitiful, a group of people fighting over one man. Looking at her pitiful state, Ill just tolerate it.

  Thinking so, Qianjiu didnt mind at all and continued to lower his head to make lunch. It was soon almost done, and because there was one more person, Qianjiu also made a bit more.

  "Red square, lets take out all the dishes weve made."

  Hong Liang and Hong Shu quickly came to serve the dishes, Mu Ye Xiao and Qing Gui Fei were already seated. Looking at Qian Jiu Jiu, Mu Ye Xiao called out: "Jiu Er, come sit next to me."

  They kissed in 1999, are they so familiar? But the others mom is by their side, at least give some face.

  Mù Yè Xiāo smiled and said: "Thank you, Your Highness."

  After thanking him, Qianjiu walked over and handed a bowl of chicken soup to Mu Ye Xiang: "Your Highness, I added many medicinal herbs to your chicken soup."

  "Tastes good and can strengthen the body."

  He took the mug and drank it directly: "This taste is not bad."

  Qing Guifei watched the two people interact and always felt that something was off, but couldnt quite put her finger on what it was. She lowered her head to eat, the flavor wasnt bad.

  Its just that as soon as she thought of herself as merely a concubine daughter of the Qian family, her heart felt somewhat entangled.

  Although this Jiǔjiǔ Yātóu is a divine doctor, her status is too low. Thinking of this, the heart of Qíng Guìfēi felt somewhat uncomfortable, forget it.

  Considering she can cure the prince, I wont make things difficult for her. Anyway, others dont know her identity, and later, after the prince recovers, Ill find a noble lady of high status to marry him, so as not to wrong my son.

  Qing Guifei had already made up her mind in her heart, but her face didnt show it. Instead, she looked at Qianjiu with enthusiasm.

  In 1999, there was still some confusion in his heart. The emperors women were all masters of palace fighting, how could they be so gentle?

  Looking at her so gentle and kind, shouldnt she be repaying kindness with kindness?

  Qianjiu was still thinking when Muyexiao looked at her and said, "Jiuer, do you still have that face mask you make every night? If you do, give some to the empress dowager."

  Qing Guifei was somewhat puzzled: "What face mask?"

  Qianjiu blinked and then looked at Mu Ye Xiang: "Your Highness, those face masks are for improving my skin, but the Empress Dowagers skin is already very good."

  "Besides, if Mother needs a face mask, let me prepare one and send it to her. This is the only way we can express our sincerity. How can we just give her a little bit?"

  "Then how long will it take you to prepare? The Empress Dowager is waiting to return to the palace."

  Qing Guifei said she was unhappy, she had just left the palace, how could her son want to drive her back? Indeed, having a daughter-in-law meant forgetting ones mother. The palace is bitter in heart.

  Thinking of it, he gave Mu Ye Xiao a somewhat pitiful glance, and Mu Ye Xiao suddenly felt his head swell.

  Qianjiujiu was seriously staring at Qing Guifei, making her feel a bit hairy. Only then did Qianjiujiu shift his gaze to look at Mu Ye Xiang.

  "Your Highness, if we are to prepare it, I will need to make another trip to the pharmacy or have the steward go and purchase some, as I do not have any of the medicine readily available."

  "But please wait for one more day, Mother. The daughter-in-law will be ready tomorrow and then we can go to the palace together with the prince to see you."

  Qing Guifei still didnt know what a face mask was! Naturally, she wasnt very enthusiastic, and just murmured: "You guys are kind, so do as you please."

  Just as she finished speaking, the housekeeper led in a eunuch. The eunuch looked at Qing Gui Fei with an odd expression: "Your Highness, the Emperor has summoned you back to the palace."

  The Empress Dowager pouted, "Ive only just come out for a bit, never mind, lets go back. Oh, and daughter-in-law, dont forget to come to the palace tomorrow to see me."

  Qianjiu nodded: "Ill see Mother Empress off, and Ill definitely go visit you tomorrow."

  Having obtained Qianjius promise, Qing Guifei left, and the eunuch who came in afterwards took a subtle glance at Qianjiu.

  It seems that this princess is very much in the heart of the noble consort, otherwise, just meeting for a short while, she would make the noble consort remember her fondly.
