Go through it quickly, the host has a bug

Seeing the confused look on the little Taoist priest's face, Guanzhu Wang continued.

"The situation in the imperial court is chaotic now. If you touch the water on one side, you will be burned by the fire on the other side. The only way to stand on your own is to be alone. Do you think no one knows about the secret visit of the second prince?"

Guanzhu Zhao smiled sarcastically.

"Behind the second prince is the Zhao family, and they are particularly prominent among the princes. I'm afraid..."

The little Taoist priest paused and continued,

"Master, the advantages of being friends with him should outweigh the disadvantages."

Guanzhu Wang glanced at him,

"Don't take benefits that you shouldn't take in the future. I have always valued you. Don't let me live up to my expectations as a teacher."

The little Taoist priest then said with some fear,

"He gave it, but the disciple didn't accept it."

He was indeed tempted, but he still didn't accept it.

Guanzhu Wang also knew his disciple’s character, so he only warned him in a low voice,

"You just have to remember that nothing is permanent and no one can predict what will happen in the future."

The little Taoist priest felt a few twists and turns in his heart, and he responded in a low voice.

It was almost past time when Su Yanfei returned to Su Mansion. She went back to the yard to freshen up and then went to the front hall to eat.

"Fei'er."

As soon as I arrived outside the courtyard, I saw a woman standing under the hanging flower door. She was about 30 years old. She was wearing a double-breasted gown with a black background embroidered with crabapples and a lilac background with embroidered crabapple flowers. Half of the embroidered moonlight skirt was exposed. Inlaid with gems and gold head and face.

Even though she was dressed in such dignified and wealthy clothes, she still couldn't hide her slightly thin figure and pale face.

Like a sick beauty who will collapse if the wind blows.

"Are you tired these past two days?"

The sick beauty took Su Yanfei's hand and asked with concern.

It was none other than the original owner’s mother, Mrs. Qin.

Qin's birth was not smooth when she gave birth to her original owner, and her health has been in poor condition ever since.

"Don't worry, mother, Feier is not tired."

Su Yanfei patted Qin's hand comfortingly and said.

Mrs. Qin felt relieved when she saw her face was rosy, and the two of them walked in together.

"I heard from your father that Lu Chaoning's quelling the chaos went smoothly this time. He has already started to return to the DPRK. I am afraid he will be back in ten days."

Qin seemed to think about it for a moment before speaking in a low voice,

"Although Lu Chaoning is a bit taciturn, he is both talented and beautiful, and he has made many extraordinary achievements over the years."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Qin's face showed a bit of satisfaction, and she pinched Su Yanfei's nose.

"Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking. I'm afraid you've been worried a lot these days. Ever since the Crown Prince went to the border, you've become thinner even though you don't say it."

Su Yanfei quickly pretended to be aggrieved and said,

"Mom must have misunderstood. I am obviously greedy for the pastries my mother made. My mother is not in good health in the winter. I dare not bother you, so I am so greedy for tea that I don't think about food!"

"Is that why?"

Mrs. Qin was surprised by these words and stopped in her tracks. Looking at Su Yanfei solemnly and affirmatively nodding her head, she said with a mixture of humor and distress,

"You kid, why didn't you tell me that I could ask Rong's mother to cook it for you?"

“Rong’s mother’s cooking is not as delicious as yours!”

"Isn't it really because of the Crown Prince?"

"No! I'm just greedy."

"Okay, okay, I'll do it for you in the afternoon."

The sound faded away.

Today was a rare occasion for the whole family to gather together for a meal, and Su Yanfei also met everyone in the Su Mansion.

Su Changlin and Su Changfeng sat beside the old lady respectively. The two brothers looked similar but had different personalities. Su Changlin had a formidable aura, adhering to the principle of being silent when eating and sleeping, and did not speak.

Su Changfeng seemed much kinder, and he had a harmonious relationship with his second wife, Fang. From time to time, he would bring her some dishes that were not in front of him.

After lunch, Su Yanfei sent Mrs. Qin back to the yard, had another conversation, gave Mrs. Qin the peace charm, watched Mrs. Qin sleep, and then walked to the yard of the second room.

The second lady, Mrs. Fang, was currently embroidering the child's bellyband. When she saw Su Yanfei coming in, she stood up and greeted her with a smile.

Different from Qin's thinness, perhaps due to pregnancy, Fang was slightly plump, with willow eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, and a fair and shiny face with kindness. She asked with a smile,

"Why is this hour here?"

"When I went to burn incense this time, Fei'er specially prayed for peace and blessings to my second aunt. I heard that my second aunt has been having trouble napping since she was pregnant, so I thought of sending it over as soon as possible."

Su Yanfei handed over the peace talisman.The scent of sandalwood makes people feel soothed both physically and mentally.

"You have a heart."

Fang said with a smile.

Su Yanfei took Fang's arm and looked at Fang's face carefully.

"Second Aunt's complexion seems to be getting better and better."

Fang touched her face and said with a wry smile,

"I applied some pearl powder. Maybe I haven't had a good rest recently, and my face looks a little bad."

"I applied pearl powder a few days ago, but I always felt rested and lost several pounds. I haven't used it for the past few days, but I slept soundly. I thought I was the only one who didn't like this pearl powder. It looked like my second aunt had a stomachache. The baby inside doesn’t like it as much as I do.”

Su Yanfei looked at Fang's belly with innocence in her eyes, as if she had found a like-minded companion.

Mrs. Fang frowned and held her pregnant belly. Suddenly her palms moved slightly, as if the child in her belly was responding.

She touched it again in surprise, but her stomach was as calm as water.

"Little guy, are you the same as me? If so, just move."

Seeing Su Yanfei's childish look, Fang was a little amused.

"It's only been more than three months, how can it move?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach moved slightly again.

It's not an illusion.

“There are really some people who don’t like pearl powder!”

Fang made a sound in surprise.

On the way Su Yanfei came back, the system started begging again,

"Host, is there really something wrong with this white jade pearl powder?"

It has been asking for a long time, but the host ignored it at all.

This time Su Yanfei finally responded in her mind.

"This pearl powder contains musk."

"Musk? Who made it? Wasn't this white jade pearl powder rewarded by the Queen?"

The system is somewhat clueless.

"Isn't this very interesting? Because I found that not only the white jade pearl powder of Su Mansion is problematic, but also Mrs. Huang, and even many noble ladies and wealthy families in Jade City may be using this kind of pearl powder."

Su Yanfei's tone was calm, but the words she spoke made people feel cold all over.

The mechanical sound of the system was filled with a hint of doubt.

"Musk, long-term exposure to heavy doses can cause infertility, and even if you are lucky enough to get pregnant, it is easy to miscarry. White jade pearl powder has been popular for a long time and has always been loved and sought after. If what the host said is true, it will make the entire Jade City In other words, the wealthy and aristocratic families in the Chu Xiang Kingdom will gradually lose their descendants and gradually decline."

The system paused, then changed his voice to a surprised tone,

"What a big game of chess."

No wonder the Chu Xiang Kingdom was underpopulated, regardless of the royal family or the dignitaries.

Everyone even thinks that this situation is the norm. Maybe they have power and benefit, so there are gains and losses, and they have few heirs. This is a matter of course, and it is a theorem that everyone naturally acquiesces to.
