After the old Doctor Zhang finished writing the medicinal recipe and left, Madam Hua did not mention her previous act of pretending to be lame in front of Ying Dongjun. She didn't stay for a long time. She told Ying Dongjun a few words and left.

Before leaving, Madam Hua called Hua Mian out and asked a few questions.

Madam Hua returned to the palace and was about to go to Shouxian Palace, but she met Lu Li on the way.

Lu Li waved his hand to ask his subordinates to retreat, walked forward, and bowed to Madam Hua, "Enjoyed Mother."

Madam Hua looked at him, nodded, but said, "In the palace, don't call me adoptive mother, but call me madam, so as not to gossip."

Lu Li replied concisely: "Okay."

Madam Hua: "Are you deliberately embarrassing the princess today?"

When Lu Li thought of Lu Guang's advice, he did not say what he suspected of the princess, but said, "I happened to run into it when I was performing official duties."

Madam Hua didn't know whether it was believed or not. She frowned and said, "I don't know how Lu Guang taught you on weekdays. This is the palace. After all, the princess is a princess. She is your master. You are the following today! Even if you have had any unhappiness with her before, I hope that it will be over here and don't provoke her again in the future."

Lu Li lowered his head and said nothing.

After Madam Hua taught her adopted son a lesson, she asked again: "Didn't I ask you to check the whereabouts of Yuyang Zhenren last time? Do you have any flaws?"

Lu Li said, "I took people to Tsinghua Temple. The building was empty. The Yuyang Zhenren was missing and no one knew his whereabouts. I have sent someone to look outside the capital. As long as there is news, I will come to tell the nanny."

Madam Hua nodded, asked nothing else, and turned around and wanted to leave.

Lu Li suddenly asked, "Is Madam going back to Shouxian Palace?"

"Yeah." Madam Hua paused and turned around and asked, "What? Is there anything wrong?"

Lu Li glanced at her and shook his head, "Nothing is wrong, nanny walk slowly."

Madam Hua left without looking back.

Lu Li watched her walk away and turned around and left.

Madam Hua returned to Shouxian Palace and reported Ying Dongjun's situation to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager was silent for a while and asked, "Since Chengping has been able to walk on the ground a long time ago, why should he hide it from the Ai family? Does she distrust the Ai family?"

Madam Hua said, "That's not necessarily true. Today I heard Hua Mian say that she accidentally heard the princess say something to her eunuch. The princess said that lame legs also have the benefits of lame legs. She went to the palace to see the queen mother and the emperor, and no one forced her to kneel down."

The Empress Dowager was stunned for a moment, couldn't help laughing, and shook her head and said, "This is indeed what Chengping said, and it is indeed something she can do. Think about it carefully, she seems to have no other benefits except for being able to kneel a few less people. Alas, this child has been spoiled by her father and is full of energy!"

Madam Hua thought of the Empress Dowager's words just now and asked: "Why does the Empress suspect that the Princess does not trust the Empress?"

The Empress Dowager sighed, "Today she came into the palace and ran into Princess Huai, which made Princess Huai angry again. The Ai family remembered the incident when she broke a leg in Ningxiang. At that time, she knew that Princess Huai's mansion was standing on the side of the Ai family and the emperor, but she still made a ruthless move, which almost made Princess Huai's mansion turn against each other. The Ai family was thinking, do she still remember the disagreement between Princess Huai and her mother when she was a child, and she always remembered the grudge in her heart."

Madam Hua thought for a while, "The princess was smart and premature when she was young. She may indeed remember that Princess Huai was disrespectful to the empress. The county lord of Ningxiang? When the empress was about to give birth, Ningxiang accidentally pushed the empress and caused the empress to fall and give birth prematurely. If the county lord was not too young at that time and was the daughter of Prince Huai, the late emperor would not have been furious. The princess might have heard of this, so she would not have been able to get along with the county lord of Ningxiang everywhere."

The Empress Dowager was stunned and whispered: "She is a vengeful person. So do you think she will remember the affair of the Ai family?"

Madam Hua frowned, "Empress is confused. What kind of hatred can there be between the princess and the empress? You are your own grandparents and grandchildren."

The Empress Dowager: "At the beginning..."

Madam Hua interrupted the Empress Dowager, "Empress, there is nothing in the past! Although you do not respond to the princess as she is as requested as the previous emperor, you have always loved and favored her! The princess is also close to and dependent on the Empress and obeys and respects her."

The Empress Dowager fell silent and looked at a point in the void with a god.

Madam Hua said softly: "Empress, you know the princess's character. If she has any grudges against anyone, she will never be able to hide it. She wishes to fight against that person at all times, but she doesn't care about what her enemy is. You will know it by looking at her attitude towards the Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager nodded, "Yes, she has such a personality, she can't stand the slightest grievance, and can't hide the resentment in her heart. She will avenge any revenge on the spot. Forget it, I just mentioned it casually."

Madam Hua said, "Don't mention it in the future, the Empress will not mention it."

"Okay, let's not mention it." The Empress Dowager smiled. "You go to the warehouse to find the five hundred-year-old ginseng, and then see what other good medicinal materials to use. All of them are sent to the Princess's Mansion to replenish Chengping's body."

Madam Hua sighed, "The Empress is so kind to the princess."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "She is my granddaughter, so I naturally love her. But you should leave these things to the maid. Lu Guang just came back. Take time to accompany him more so that he won't come to Ai's house to complain."

Madam Hua said dismissively: "I have errands, and he has errands, so where can I have so much free time? Madam, I'll go to the warehouse to take a look."

When the Empress Dowager heard that she said, she didn't care much and nodded, "You go."

...

Let’s talk about Doctor Zhang. After leaving the princess’s mansion, the old man was about to go back to the mansion for dinner, but he met Yu Shunchen at his doorstep.

Yu Zhongling held a huge three-story food box in one hand and a jar of wine in the other hand, and smiled gently at the old doctor Zhang, "Yu has the freshly cooked elbows of sauce and a jar of good flower carvings in Wanfu Building. I wonder if Old Doctor Zhang can give a glimpse of his face?"

Such a market image appeared on Yu Shunchen, and the old Doctor Zhang did not feel distorted. He couldn't help but sniff, and then glared at Yu Shunchen, "Even if I can keep you out, can I still keep this good wine and food? You cunning! Come in!"

Yu Shunchen smiled when he heard this and followed the old Doctor Zhang into the Zhang Mansion.

It was already past mealtime. Doctor Zhang asked the attendant to put the wine and dishes brought by Yu Shunchen on the table, and ordered a few simple and easy-to-make vegetarian dishes in the kitchen.

He is old and focuses on health care. He eats light food on weekdays, so he is particularly greedy for the good wine and meat brought by Yu Shunchen.
