Chapter 1551： plan

The next day, Zhulan entered the palace in a carriage. This time, it was not the Empress Dowager who invited her, but the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was very busy. The Empress Dowager was seriously ill and needed to be taken care of. The Empress Dowager's thoughts were all on the Empress Dowager.

Yesterday, the female official came to pass a message, and she sent news to the Qin palace. The daughter did not come in person, but brought her a message. Recently, the queen has paid special attention to the Zhou family. Since the princes can leave the palace, the daughter and son-in-law have slipped away and huddled in Qin. No one in the palace is invited to go out.

Zhulan turned the bracelet on her wrist, this was the Queen's concern.

After entering the palace, Zhulan sat in a sedan chair. It was too cold, so she had to go to the queen's palace to be frozen.

When they arrived at the queen's bedroom, Zhulan let out a breath. Fortunately, she was not alone. There were also several noble ladies. Zhulan hadn't seen Mrs. Shen Hou for a long time. When she saw her this time, Mrs. Shen was full of old-fashioned looks, looking at her body and bones. It is not very tough, and his face is very pale.

After Zhulan surveyed the hall, "!!"

When she came to the hall today, her body and bones turned out to be the best.

Everyone greeted each other. The capital said it was big and big, and said it was small and very small. They had met and talked to each other, and they were friendly. The one who had the most contact with Zhulan was Old Shen Furen.

The old lady Shen looked complicated. She had never looked at the Yang family back then. Who would have thought that the Zhou family would have such a good fortune. It was implicated, but it was never reused with the change of imperial power.

Mrs. Shen's head hurts again. The daughter of the Shen family is not easy to marry, and it is impossible to find a good marriage. In recent years, it has been difficult to achieve. The eldest son even married several daughters to students from a poor family, saying yes Cultivation, it's just too slow.

When the queen came out, Zhulan noticed that the queen's makeup was heavy, and the thick foundation covered the complexion on her face. She had not seen the queen for many days.

The queen signaled, "Don't be restrained, this palace is looking for a few people today to chat."

She wanted to see Madam Zhou Hou alone, but she couldn't, the emperor watched her every move.

The old lady Shen spoke first, "Many have not seen the empress, but the empress's brilliance is still the same. The most fortunate one is the empress."

Zhulan turned her head sideways, it's been a long time since she saw the queen, she boasted too much, the queen mother is still alive!

The queen's face froze, but she didn't dare to respond, "The most fortunate one should be the queen mother, this palace can't compare."

The old lady Shen was embarrassed, "Look at me, when I see the Queen's happy mouth, I can't control it."

The queen thought for a while, then turned her head to look at Mrs. Yang, "I haven't seen the old lady for a long time. How is the old lady?"

Zhulan replied, "The minister's wife has been very good recently, and the empress is worried."

The queen said, "Bengong looks good at the old lady. I have got a lot of good herbs, and everyone will bring them back later."

Zhulan and the others hurriedly got up and thanked them.

The queen said again: "A few days ago, the fourth son met the young master of Zhouhou's mansion, and came back to tell this palace that the old lady and the younger son have read poetry and books, have extensive knowledge, and want to hear what the young master has to say."

Zhulan felt at ease, she was afraid that the empress would lead her son's red line, "There is this matter, the court lady doesn't know."

The Empress smiled, "The fourth child wanted to leave the palace, and this palace also knew that. I was afraid that the fourth child would learn badly. After knowing the prince of Zhouhou's mansion, this palace will not stop me, and I will disturb you at that time."

Zhulan hurriedly said, "It's an honor for the Hou's mansion to have the fourth prince come to the mansion."

She didn't want to offend the queen, especially the queen who didn't live long. Is the queen willing to die? Reluctant, the more you have, the more reluctant you are, not just for her son, the queen is reluctant to live the glory, so the queen is very dangerous.

The old lady Shen's face was stiff, she could see it clearly, good guy, they are here to serve as foils, she was still thinking about why they were all elderly, and also thought that the royal family finally remembered the Shenhou Mansion, and she was suffocated in one breath. heart.

The queen was tired, and everyone said goodbye. They all got the medicinal materials sent by the queen, left the queen's palace, and got on the sedan chairs one after another.

Zhulan had to admit that the empress made the right move. Although she had never met the fourth prince, she knew that the fourth prince was a playful person. The playful fourth prince and Changzhong would not tease the emperor. nerve.

When she got home, Zhulan was about to die of exhaustion. She hadn't worn the headgear for a long time, and the pressure on her neck was uncomfortable.

Qingxue came over for a massage, and Zhulan felt comfortable, "The herbs brought back from the palace are sent to the warehouse for storage."

Qingxue, "Yes."

Zhulan said again: "Qizhou was hit by a snowstorm, so I was afraid of getting sick from the cold. The medicinal materials accumulated by the third family were donated during the flood, and now there must be a shortage of medicinal materials. You go to count the medicinal materials in the warehouse and prepare some to send to Qi in a few days. State."

Qingxue thought of the storeroom in the mansion that was comparable to a pharmacy, and the old lady liked to store medicinal materials, "Yes."

Zhulan's shoulders were relieved, and she signaled Qingxue to go to work. It's hard to buy medicine now. Recently, the medicinal materials for treating typhoid fever in the pharmacy have basically been supplied to the imperial court, and there are not many medicinal materials left. Those who have typhoid fever at home can only go to the Look at the doctor, the doctor can only buy it after prescribing a prescription, and medicinal materials are hard to find.

Zhu Lan pursed her lips. In ancient times, medicinal herbs were hard to find, and doctors were hard to find, especially doctors with real skills.

In the afternoon, when Changyi came back, Zhulan wondered, "I just took a rest yesterday, and it's only this afternoon, why did you come back?"

Changyi rubbed his hands together, it was really cold today, "My son has an errand to pick up the envoys from various countries in Pinggang. I will leave tomorrow, so I will come back early to pack my luggage."

"Envoys of various countries?"

Changyi didn't hide it from his mother, anyway, it will spread sooner or later, of course, even if he didn't say it, his father would tell his mother, he saw it very clearly, and his father didn't hide anything from his mother, "He came to buy food and medicine. "

Zhulan thought of the abnormality at the border, "There is a lack of food."

Changyi was a little flustered in his heart, all countries were short of food, which was not a good sign, "Why is the weather changing so much?"

Zhulan thought to herself, she should have really entered the Little Ice Age guessed, "It will be fine."

Changyi I hope next year will be normal. "

Bamboo Orchid, "......"

Good idea, but unfortunately can't.

Changyi said again: "The Liu family didn't come back from Zhangzhou, and they sent a few masters who made medicinal materials there."

"The Liu family uses your Zhuangzi to take children?"

Changyi thought to himself, his mother's reaction was really quick, "Well, we have taken in a lot of orphans, and we have also raised some children who are smart and able to manage things. Next year, the Liu family will make a lot of moves."

Zhulan had to admit, "The Liu family has foresight."

Changyi is not reconciled, but there is nothing he can do. Who let his son-in-law enter the official position is too small, he can only comfort himself, the Liu family is an in-law and will not cheat a son-in-law.

Zhulan added: "The imperial court has become more and more strict with the control of medicinal materials, and now there is a serious shortage of medicinal materials. In the future, Liu Jiazhen will build Zhangzhou into a big state of medicinal materials, and Liu Da Gongzi's career will be on the rise."
