Dressed as the villain's stepmother

The quality of the four treasures of the study were all top-notch, and Liao Xiaoping's eyes lit up when he saw them.

He looked up at his mother and saw that she had no intention of stopping him from accepting it, so he took it and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing how he couldn't put it down, Jiang Lianzhu couldn't help but smile: "This child loves reading the most, and this thing is precious to me. This is something that has been sent to his heart."

Seeing that she really liked him, Concubine Xi also raised her eyebrows and smiled with her crimson lips: "Before the eldest son entered the palace, I also heard from the emperor that this eldest son loves reading the most, and I think so. I love these things very much. Besides, we are all our own people, and these things are not expensive."

Jiang Lianzhu raised her eyebrows, sensing that her words meant placing them in her own group, implying that they were in the same boat, but she didn't refute it.

How things develop in the future is up to nature. In any case, it is best to remain neutral, but she is not stupid and makes enemies for herself.

Concubine Xi asked Liao Xiaoping to chat with Jiang Lianzhu. Since he came over after class, he quickly went back to listen to the lecture.

"The eldest son is quite self-conscious, unlike the third prince, who occasionally secretly complains." Looking at Liao Xiaoping's back as she hurriedly left holding the four treasures of the study, Concubine Xi sighed softly, with a hint of maternal love in her eyes.

"After all, we are from an idle family. How can this classwork be compared with that of a prince?" Jiang Lianzhu smiled and didn't care.The third prince is at an age that loves to play. Although he may occasionally complain, the prince's schoolwork requires more shopping than ordinary people. The third prince is already considered rare.

"Yes." Concubine Xi smiled and nodded, and the two chatted for a while before letting Jiang Lianzhu leave.

It was getting late when Jiang Lianzhu came out. Since Liao Xiaoping lived in the Prince's East Palace, she couldn't go to see him, so she planned to go back to Liumen first.

After walking out of the imperial concubine's palace for a while, they passed through a narrow path. A lame man passed by in a hurry. His legs were not convenient but he was walking with difficulty. He didn't even look at Jiang Lianzhu and his party.

"Who is this?" Jiang Lianzhu looked at him strangely and looked at the palace attendant leading the way with a confused tone.

"This is His Highness the eldest prince. He was separated by the emperor to open a mansion last year. The eldest prince doesn't go out often, so it's normal for the girl not to recognize him." The maid glanced back and saw that the eldest prince had gone away. she explained.

"I see." Jiang Lianzhu nodded. No wonder she had no impression of him. She probably didn't attend the previous banquet.

It was already dark when they returned to Liumen. As usual, Jiang Lianzhu went to stay with Liao Xiaoan and Liao Xiaole for a while, and then went back to her room to rest.

Early the next morning, Jiang Lianzhu went out early. When she arrived at Nancheng Medical Center, she saw that people sent from other medical centers had already arrived one after another, and they also brought a lot of medicinal materials.

When she came, Hu Dong had just written out the new prescription according to Princess Xiang's wishes. He distributed the prescription to several people and told them how to cook the soup.Because all of them have some basic knowledge, they don’t need any teaching, and they can get started quickly.

Because there were enough people, Jiang Lianzhu almost only helped, and there was nothing wrong with her.

There were so many people that the soup and medicine were divided quickly. After finishing all the soup and medicine, Jiang Lianzhu helped Princess Xiang, but she saw that those few people were extremely enthusiastic and gathered around to help.

"Lianzhu, since the soup and medicine are all divided, you should go and do your work first." Princess Xiang said with a smile, "You might as well go back and spend time with your children."

Knowing that Princess Xiang was chasing her, and thinking of the words "You are indeed a young man", Jiang Lianzhu looked embarrassed, but did not refuse: "Then I will trouble you, Princess."

As she spoke, she smiled and handed the porridge spoon in her hand to the medicine boy from other medical clinics beside her.

Princess Xiang laughed and said, "What's the trouble? Go and play. Her tone sounded like an elder asking a child to play in the sand."

There was nothing fun in the cold weather. Jiang Lianzhu was not in the mood, so she simply went back to her room, which was much warmer than wandering around outside.

In the pastry shop, she bought some apricot cakes and sugar cakes that Liao Xiaoan and Liao Xiaole liked to eat. She suddenly discovered that Sanbao didn't seem to ask her what snacks she had bought on weekdays, and she didn't know if she was embarrassed to ask.

But at this age, it’s really time to give them pocket money.

She thought about it, and when she returned to Six Doors, it was already Erbao's lunch break. When she returned to the room for two, Liao Xiaoan had already gone to Zhenbei Palace, leaving Liao Xiaole alone sitting on the edge of the bed, shaking his legs in boredom.

Jiang Lianzhu was stunned and entered the house carrying the pastries.

"Mom bought you delicious food, come here quickly." She put the pastries on the table and spoke in a friendly tone.

When Liao Xiaole saw her coming, surprise appeared on his face, and he jumped out of bed: "Mom, why are you here suddenly at this time?" She said, opening the oil paper wrapping the pastry, her eyes lit up, "Wow, it's apricot blossom cake. And sugar cakes.”

Seeing Liao Xiaole's cheeks bulging like a little rabbit, Jiang Lianzhu thought it was cute and couldn't help laughing.

At the same time, I felt a little depressed. I always felt that I was busy with my own affairs and neglected the children.

She watched Liao Xiaole gradually lose her childlike cheeks, thought for a while, and said warmly: "From this month on, Mom will give you some monthly silver every month. If you want to buy anything and play with it, you can buy it by yourself." After much deliberation, Sanbao's circle has begun to separate, and she herself cannot always stay with them.Nowadays, children are no longer young. They should also have their own circle and buy things they like.

"Okay, thank you, mother." Liao Xiaole smiled and rolled his eyes, patted his little hands stained with snack residue, and hugged her waist, smiling.

After staying with Liao Xiaole for a while, Jiang Lianzhu told her to take a nap, and then returned to her room.

For a child of eight or nine years old, Jiang Lianzhu was not sure how much money should be given to her. After much deliberation, she found that she was not short of money herself, but now that it was a time of natural and man-made disasters, she felt that it was better not to raise them to be coquettish. Luxury temperament, give them one tael of silver a month first. Liao Xiaoping is more mature and has a lot to take care of in the palace, so he will give them two taels a month.

She found the fabric that Chen Tianqi had given her earlier, and asked for needle and thread, preparing to make a purse for Sanbao.

Jiang Lianzhu made careful gestures, and after a while, she made three crooked purses.

She touched her nose, a little unaware that she would be embarrassed if the purse was placed on her.

Jiang Lianzhu did not give up and repaired it again, but when she saw that the repair could not be restored, Jiang Lianzhu gave up and planned to just pretend like this for now and go out to buy some nice bags tomorrow.

He took out the purse at his waist and was about to look for broken silver, when a folded piece of tissue paper fell out of the purse.
