Chapter 1551 Planning

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

Yesterday the female official came to send a message, so she sent news to Prince Qin's mansion. The daughter didn't come in person, but she sent her a message. Recently, the queen paid special attention to the Zhou family. No one in the palace invites to go out.

Zhulan twirled the bracelet on her wrist, which was missed by the queen.

After entering the palace, Zhulan sat in a sedan chair, it was too cold, and she had to freeze when she reached the Queen's bedroom.

When she arrived at the queen's bedroom, Zhulan exhaled, luckily she didn't see her alone, there were several noble ladies, Zhulan hadn't seen Mrs. Marquis Shen for a long time, and when she saw her this time, Mrs. Marquis Shen was very old, looking at her bones Not very tough, his face was very pale.

After Zhulan looked around the hall, "!!"

Come to the palace today, her body is actually the best.

All the people greeted each other, Jingcheng said that the big one was big, and the small one was very small, they had met and chatted with each other before, they had a friendly face, and it was Mrs. Shen who had the most contact with Zhulan.

Mrs. Shen's expression was complicated. She had never looked up to the Yang family back then. Who would have thought that the Zhou family would be so lucky. He was implicated, but was never reused as the imperial power changed.

Mrs. Shen's head hurts again. The daughters of the Shen family are not easy to marry, and they can't find a good marriage. In the past few years, they have been unable to achieve high and low. The eldest son even married several daughters to students from poor families. Cultivate, just too slowly.

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 hadn't seen the queen for many days, and the queen was several years old.

The queen signaled, "Don't be restrained, I'm just looking for a few people to chat with today."

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

Old Mrs. Shen spoke first, "Many have not seen their empresses, but their brilliance is still the same. If you want to say that the most blessed one is the Empress Empress."

Zhulan tilted her head, how long has it been since she saw the empress, she praised too much, the empress dowager is still alive!

The queen's face also froze, she didn't dare to answer, "The most blessed person should be the queen mother, this palace can't compare."

Mrs. Shen was embarrassed, "Look at me,

When I saw the queen, I couldn't control my mouth when I was happy. "

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

Zhulan replied, "The minister's wife is doing well recently, and the empress is worried."

The queen said: "I see that the old lady looks good, I have obtained a lot of good herbs, everyone will take them back later."

Zhulan and the others hurriedly got up to thank them.

The queen said again: "A few days ago, the fourth son met the young master of Zhouhou's mansion. He came back and told me that the youngest son of the old lady has read poems and books and has a wide range of knowledge. He also wants to hear what the young master has to say."

Zhulan felt at ease, she was afraid that the queen would lead her son to a red line, "There is also this matter, my wife doesn't know."

The queen smiled, "The fourth child wanted to leave the palace, and I only knew about it. I was afraid that the fourth child would be a bad student. After knowing about the son of Zhouhou's mansion, I will not stop him. I will not bother you when the time comes."

Zhu Lan hurriedly said: "It's an honor for the Hou Mansion that the fourth prince can come to the mansion."

She doesn't want to offend the queen, especially the queen who doesn't live long, is the queen willing to die? Not willing, the more you have the more reluctant, not only for the son, the queen is reluctant to live the glory, so the queen is very dangerous.

Mrs. Shen's old face was so stiff, she understood it, good guy, they are here to serve as a foil, she was still wondering why they were all old, and thinking that the royal family finally remembered Shen Hou's mansion, and held her breath heart.

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

Zhulan had to admit that the queen's move was quite right. Although she hadn't met the fourth prince several times, she knew that the fourth prince loved to play. nerve.

When she got home, Zhulan was exhausted. She hadn't worn the headgear for a long time, and her neck felt 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 wind and cold. The old three families donated the medicinal materials accumulated during the flood. Now there must be a shortage of medicinal materials. Go and check the medicinal materials in the warehouse and prepare some to send to Qi in a few days. state."

Qingxue thought of the warehouse in the mansion which is comparable to a pharmacy, the old lady likes to store medicinal materials, "Yes."

Zhulan's shoulders felt comfortable, and she signaled Qingxue to go and get busy. It's not easy to buy medicine now. Recently, most of the medicinal materials for treating typhoid fever in pharmacies have been supplied to the imperial court. There are not many medicinal materials left. If you have typhoid fever at home, you can only go to See a doctor, the doctor prescribed a prescription to buy it, and the medicinal materials are hard to find.

Zhulan pursed her lips. In ancient times, not only medicinal materials were hard to find, but also doctors were hard to find, especially doctors with real skills.

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

Changyi rubbed his hands, it was really cold, "My son has an errand to go to Pinggang to pick up the envoys from various countries, and we are leaving tomorrow so come back early to pack our luggage."

"Emissaries from various countries?"

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

Zhulan thought of the anomaly at the border, "There is a shortage of food."

Changyi was a little flustered. All countries are short of food, which is not a good sign. "Why does the weather change so much?"

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

Changyi, "I hope next year will be normal."

Bamboo Orchid, "..."

It's a good idea, but unfortunately I can't.

Changyi said again: "People from the Liu family didn't come back from Zhangzhou, so they sent a few masters who concoct medicinal materials."

"The Liu family is using your Zhuangzi to accept their children?"

Changyi thought, his mother's reaction was really quick, "Well, we have taken in a lot of orphans, and cultivated some children who are smart and able to manage things. The Liu family will do a lot next year."

Zhulan had to admit, "The Liu family has a vision."

Changyi was not reconciled, but there was nothing he could do, it was too small for a son-in-law to enter an official career, so he could only comfort himself that the Liu family was in-laws and would not cheat their son-in-law.

Zhulan said again: "The imperial court has become more and more strict on medicinal materials, and now there is a serious shortage of medicinal materials. In the future, the Liu family will really build Zhangzhou into a state of medicinal materials, and Mr. Liu's official career will skyrocket."
