September 9th is the Double Ninth Festival.
Chu Xuanchi and Mo Zhaohua entered the palace after breakfast.
Emperor Wenzong was quite surprised, "I didn't see you enter the palace on the Dragon Boat Festival in the past, but today on the Double Ninth Festival you are still thinking about me."
Chu Xuanchi explained, "I was busy with the war in southern Xinjiang and had no time to pay attention to the festival. Over time, I neglected it."
When Emperor Wenzong mentioned this, he felt guilty and ashamed, and said, "I have worked really hard these years."
"It was the princess who reminded me to go to the palace to visit my father, mother, and grandmother today, and I just remembered that it was Double Ninth Festival."
Chu Xuanchi pushed all the credit to Mo Zhaohua. This was indeed her intention, but her main purpose was to go to the Fuguogong Mansion.
They are all elders. Since they have gone to the palace to pay their respects to their parents and grandmother, it would be reasonable for them to go and visit their grandfather.
Emperor Wenzong looked at Mo Zhaohua and said, "Princess Yu is really good. She is worthy of being favored by our mother. She is well-educated, respectful and filial."
Mo Zhaohua lowered her eyebrows and said, "As a son and daughter-in-law, this is my duty. If I can help the prince share his worries, it would be even better."
She was well-dressed, had a dignified manner, was well-mannered, and spoke in a comfortable way. The more Emperor Wenzong looked at her, the happier he became.
He showed a kind smile on his face, "I have chosen a good wife for Lao Wu. I am relieved to have you by his side."
Chu Xuanchi smiled and said, "Since the princess came into the mansion and took charge of the household affairs, I have become much more relaxed. If the housekeeper has any questions, just go to the princess."
Although there was a butler managing the palace in the past, he still had to be asked a few questions. Now that there is a mistress, there is no need to disturb him.
"It's good to be relaxed, so that you can recover from your injuries with peace of mind." Emperor Wenzong asked with concern, "It's autumn and the weather is getting colder. How are you doing?"
Chu Xuanchi said in a high-sounding tone, "Thank you for your concern, Father. I have the careful care of the court doctor and I am much better now."
"That's good. When you get better, even if you can't go to the battlefield again, with your intelligence, you can still help me."
Emperor Wenzong was not just hinting, but telling him directly that even if his legs were crippled, he would still have a place in the court.
Chu Xuanchi talked more today. The couple sat with Emperor Wenzong for a long time before taking their leave and heading to Shoukang Palace to meet Empress Dowager Yuande.
After they left, Emperor Wenzong asked Li Tuquan thoughtfully, "Little Li, do you think the change in Old Five is a bit too big?"
"Your Majesty, ever since the incident with the Imperial Concubine, Prince Yu has not had anyone close to him. Now that he has married the Princess, it is reasonable for there to be some changes."
When mentioning the imperial concubine, Li Tuquan's eyes darkened, but he lowered his head and no one could catch this scene.
Emperor Wenzong's eyes were dark. "Either he is putting on a show for me, or the Mohist Jurchens are capable of coaxing him."
Li Tuquan said: "According to the reports from the spies in Prince Yu's Palace, the prince and the princess have always been treating each other with respect in the palace."
Emperor Wenzong raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, "This is not enough, we need to make Lao Wu truly fall in love with the Mo family girl, so that he will have a soft spot."
"Your Majesty, is your head aching again?" Li Tuquan walked around the imperial desk and came behind Emperor Wenzong's throne. He raised his hand and said, "I will give you a massage."
Emperor Wenzong gasped in pain, "None of these mediocre doctors can treat me so far. What's the point of keeping them?"
Li Tuquan massaged him skillfully, "Your Majesty, please be patient. The imperial physician has repeatedly warned you not to get angry, otherwise it will be more likely to cause an attack."
On the other side is Shoukang Palace.
Mo Zhaohua pushed Chu Xuanchi into the main hall.
Empress Dowager Yuande sat in the main seat, her face wrinkled like flowers.
She couldn't help but feel happy, "Zhao Zhao, my sweetheart, you really brought Chi'er here again."
Chu Xuanchi was pushed in front of her, sitting in a wheelchair and greeting her with his hands folded, "How is your grandmother?"
Mo Zhaohua knelt down and bowed, smiling and saying, "I wish you all the best, Grandmother. May you have a long and happy life."
"Good, good, good." Empress Dowager Yuande said three good words in a row, "Chi'er is thoughtful, Zhaozhao is even more thoughtful."
Mo Zhaohua asked with a smile, "Grandmother, Zhao Zhao brought some Chongyang cakes that she made herself, would you like to try them?"
Empress Dowager Yuande asked, "Zhao Zhao can also make Chongyang cake? Your mother came to the palace a few days ago and said that you can't make cakes."
Mo Zhaohua was very surprised that Rong Qing would go to the palace to visit the Queen Mother. Before the divorce, she never left the house.
It seems that Rong Qing has indeed let go of the past and truly started a new life. I wonder how Mo Yun would feel if he knew this.
It would be best for him to stick to the path and not regret it. Otherwise, even if he regrets it to the core, Mo Zhaohua will never let Rong Qing jump into the fire pit.
Mo Zhaohua was thinking a lot, and he replied, "I really didn't know how to do it before, but I just learned it recently. I want to make chrysanthemum wine next year."
Chu Xuanchi and Empress Dowager Yuande really had nothing to say to each other, but the Empress Dowager didn't mind. She felt satisfied just by looking at him.
Mo Zhaohua knew that he didn't like to stay too long, so he chatted with the empress dowager for a while and then got up to take his leave, going to Fengyi Palace to pay his respects to the queen first.
It happened that the Crown Prince was also in Fengyi Palace. When Empress Jingren heard the news, she asked him, "Why is Prince Yu here? Does Chen'er want to hide away?"
The prince sat on the chair, motionless as a mountain, "No need, I came here just because I knew he would come, so I could talk to him about that matter."
Queen Jingren then allowed Chu Xuanchi and his wife to enter the palace, and the prince sat beside them with a gentle smile on his face.
Chu Xuanchi was slightly stunned when he saw the prince. The prince was kind and filial, so he guessed that the prince would come to Fengyi Palace today, but he didn't expect to run into him.
His emotion only flashed by for a moment, and he soon returned to normal. Together with Mo Zhaohua, he bowed and greeted Queen Jingren and the Crown Prince.
As she did in previous occasions, Empress Jingren first asked about Chu Xuanchi's injuries to show her concern, and then briefly chatted about family matters.
After that, he and Chu Xuanchi had no more topics to talk about, and they just chatted with Mo Zhaohua. But this time, with the prince here, things were different.
While they were chatting, the prince was also chatting with Chu Xuanchi, "The fifth brother has married a princess, which is a little different from before."
Chu Xuanchi spoke gently, "Father has just said this, which shows that he is wise and powerful, and has given me a good princess."
The prince's voice was gentle, and it sounded like a spring breeze. "Fifth brother, are you free these days? Can you find some time to come to the East Palace in a few days?"
Chu Xuanchi's face remained calm, but he was already on guard in his heart. "I wonder what the Crown Prince wants to see me about?"
The prince glanced at the queen and said, "I have been weak since childhood, and the princess has not been pregnant for a long time, so I have been looking for a famous doctor among the people..."
He initially sought out a famous doctor to use folk remedies to regulate his body. After marriage, he had the added consideration of having a child, so this year he quietly added treatment for his legs.
In a few days, a new famous doctor will come to Shengjing. It is said that he is quite accomplished in treating leg diseases. The prince wants him to see Chu Xuanchi.
Chu Xuanchi was really surprised, "The Crown Prince actually found a famous doctor to treat my brother's leg disease?"
