Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

Mo Che tightened the reins, parked the horse not far behind the Queen Mother's carriage, and led Xia Bai'an to get off the horse.

Xia Bai'an ran towards the Queen Mother's carriage with her skirt in hand, stepped on the footstool to get into the carriage, just as she opened the curtain, she was gently pulled in by Mingxin.

The queen mother was still leaning against the corner of the carriage, her face was rosy, and she didn't look uncomfortable at all.

"Your queen..."

"I heard that you had a conflict with Princess An last night."

The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes slightly, and waved to Nurse Mingxin next to her.

Nanny Mingxin followed her words: "Princess An is inseparable from the Xu family in the capital. Those sloppy talkers are probably trying to trouble you. The Empress Dowager specially invites you to sit here so that I can protect you."

After finishing speaking, Nanny Mingxin told the eunuchs outside that she could leave, and Xia Bai'an would take care of her here.

The eunuch outside nodded and ordered everyone to start again.

Xia Bai'an breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was scared to death. I really thought that something happened to the queen mother. It's fine if nothing happens."

As she said so, she still leaned forward and made one-stop arrangements for the empress dowager's pulse diagnosis.

Both the Queen Mother and Nanny Mingxin couldn't help laughing.

They wanted to protect Xia Bai'an, but Xia Bai'an only cared about his sick body.

After Xia Bai'an's pulse diagnosis, he was completely relieved, and just said in a low voice.

"The queen mother finally came out, don't always look at the prince and the emperor's affairs, but also think about your own mood."

"What?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows.

"If the Empress Dowager can be happy every day, her body will naturally recover better." Xia Bai'an said, gently lifting the corner of the curtain, "The green mountains and green waters outside are beautiful scenery that is rarely seen in the palace. Why don't the Empress Dowager open the window? Look more, take care of yourself is the most important thing."

The queen mother laughed: "Which adult doesn't think about children?"

Xia Baian smiled: "Think about yourself first, and then think about your children. King An knows how to advance and retreat, so naturally he won't let the princess cause trouble unscrupulously. The emperor respects you even more and obeys you in everything, so he won't hurt your heart. Why don't you let go of all your thoughts and have a good rest?"

After finishing speaking, the queen mother lowered her head seriously and thought about it.

She was born in a family, and when she was young, she stepped into the deep palace. Her friends died, and her enemies were left with only nameless tombstones. She fought for decades... She no longer remembers how to let go of these thoughts.

After a long time, she asked Xia Bai'an: "Bai An thinks, what do you think of the scenery outside?"

"Hmm, the Empress Dowager really seldom leaves the palace, I'm afraid she doesn't know the beauty of the world outside." Xia Bai'an smiled.

"Oh? Where did it come from?"

"Your Majesty, look at that cloud, it looks like a white swan, followed by a group of little swans." Xia Bai'an lay on the window, always feeling that what he was facing was not an old man, but rather he was teaching a child to recognize this world.

But... She looked at the emotions floating in the Queen Mother's eyes, and thought of Xuan Lanhua who was lingering on the sick bed, and recalled the medical skills of Wei Guogong's wife Shu Jingyun who was hidden deep in the mansion.

She came to this world and was lucky to have such a great freedom.

But these wives, concubines and queen mothers were far more trapped in a predicament than she imagined.

That being the case, even if they are treated as children, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

Xia Bai'an smiled softly, and continued to speak some nonsensical words.

"The forest over there is similar to the potted plants in your palace, the Queen Mother, like a cat's head."

"The pit over there looks like a chicken leg."

"Queen Mother! Look at the blue-tailed bird on the branch over there. It has a long tail and a white head. It's jumping and jumping so cute."

"Queen, I also want to eat the pastries you have at hand. Is there any one that is not so sweet?"

Xia Bai'an's voice continuously overflowed from the carriage, and the Empress Dowager's laughter also became her embellishment from time to time, and she even specially asked Ming Xin to get off the car halfway to get her some delicious and favorite pastries.

The guards on both sides all looked sideways.

The empress dowager is notoriously cold-faced, even if the emperor came to pay his respects every day, he rarely saw the empress dowager's smiling face.

Even the few princes whom the queen mother thought were not bad, at most they could get two or three lessons from the queen mother in a month as a response.

It was the first time they had seen someone who could make the Queen Mother amused!

Not even royalty!

The Empress Dowager couldn't stop laughing, she just patted Xia Bai'an's thigh: "You monkey, the girls couldn't climb trees to dig out bird eggs when they were young, I'm afraid I'll hire you a teacher from the capital next time."

"The children in the mountain village are wild and big. How can they be as spoiled as the ladies in the capital? If I really ask the teacher to control me every day, I can't make fun in front of the Queen Mother, and I can't stand shoulder to shoulder with Mo Che We're grilling skewers side by side." Xia Bai'an was helpless.

"Grilled skewers?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, "Last night, you and Princess An had a fight because of this?"

"I don't know. The princess came here and said that we have no shame, and that we shouldn't eat rabbit meat. She gave me a lot of pointers." Xia Bai'an knew that the Queen Mother liked Prince An, and he was afraid that he would love Princess An, but he didn't dare to directly criticize her.

The queen mother heard her concerns and narrowed her eyes slightly.

"After all, Concubine An comes from a family, and she always cares about these etiquettes, so you don't have to take it to heart."

After the words fell, the Empress Dowager looked at Ming Xin beside her.

With a clear mind, he quietly got out of the carriage.

Xia Bai'an was still a little confused, so he heard what the Queen Mother said.

"The Ai family doesn't like the Xu family's daughter. They have already sent the eldest daughter to the harem, gave birth to the fifth prince for the emperor, and married the youngest daughter to Chen'er. It's no matter how ambitious they are. It has become the reason why the emperor fears Chen'er." one."

Xia Bai'an was taken aback.

It turns out that there is such a key here.

She asked: "Actually, wouldn't it be fine if the prince didn't agree to marry the concubine?"

The queen mother said: "The civil servants of the Xu family are all in charge of the farmland and food. If it weren't for the impoverished land of Chen'er, and the emperor always stuck with food in winter, he would not agree to such a marriage."

"So it is."

Xia Bai'an understood, after all, the most important thing is to have a full stomach.

However, she didn't expect the Xu family to be in charge of this matter.

In this way, the Xu family is in charge of food and farmland, so it can be regarded as powerful, so the fifth prince will always attract attention...

She was dreaming, when the queen mother said, "Are you thinking about Princess An?"

Xia Bai'an said frankly: "I dare not think about it."

The simple three words have already made the Queen Mother understand that she wanted to pretend to be confused, and only said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, just be good in front of Aijia."

"Yes, Empress Dowager." Xia Bai'an hurriedly thanked her.

The queen mother looked at the scenery outside the window, and said again: "By the way, what about the grilled skewers you mentioned just now, when you arrive at the hunting ground, can you let Aijia have a taste?"

"As long as the queen mother likes it, it's fine."

Xia Bai'an smiled sweetly.

Mo Che, who was not far behind, almost listened to the conversation in the carriage, especially when Xia Bai'an talked with the queen mother - Xia Bai'an was always so pleasant wherever he went.
