The chirping of birds outside the window woke the empress dowager lazily.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw the mottled sunlight shining into the bedroom, which made her feel very warm.

When he turned his head again, he saw the little princess sleeping soundly at the foot of the bed.

She felt it carefully and felt that her stomach no longer felt churning and her stomachache was gone.

"Qing'er." She called softly, and Qing'er responded and came to the bedside.

The Queen Mother motioned to Qing'er to draw aside the curtain. She saw the old doctors still kneeling on the ground, staggering and sleeping on the ground.

So he said, "You all may go away."

Then he saw Zi Sangyu sleeping on the side couch and said, "Yu'er, you go back too. Let the little girl stay here."

Zi Sangyu stood up upon hearing the voice and said, "Grandmother, let me stay here and serve you."

"Go back and rest, don't worry, I won't embarrass your little princess.

Don't let anyone embarrass her, go back, ah."

When Xiao Yuehan woke up, everyone had left.

Eunuch Wang also rushed to report to the emperor and ran back immediately.

Xiao Yuehan asked the Queen Mother softly: "My Queen Mother, do you want to eat?"

The Queen Mother shook her head: "I don't feel like eating at all. I'm not hungry at all. My stomach is still full."

"Okay, then we won't eat it."

She said to Qing'er, "Grind it for me. I want to prescribe another dose of medicine because the Queen Mother is fasting now and can't drink the medicine from yesterday."

The empress dowager drank the medicine and lay in bed, still feeling bloated.

Xiao Yuehan continued to massage Zusanli for her.

While saying softly, "Empress Dowager, let me help you up. Shall we go for a walk in the garden?"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she turned sideways and covered her head like a child.

Xiao Yuehan and Qing'er couldn't help but smile at each other.

Xiao Yuehan then spoke softly as if coaxing a child, "Isn't the Empress Dowager's stomach bloated?

Go out for a walk and a few turns, and your stomach will get moving.

Once your stomach moves, the things that make you bloated will no longer feel uncomfortable and will disappear, and your stomach will feel better."

"Really?" The Queen Mother glanced at Xiao Yuehan, still reluctant.

Xiao Yuehan still helped her up and considerately put a cloak on her.

She said, "Really, Your Majesty, how dare I deceive you?"

Xiao Yuehan and Qing'er supported the empress dowager, who had already washed and dressed, and came to the imperial garden.

The fresh air is filled with the fragrance of flowers, and birds are singing in unison with their friends.

The fish in the pond swim happily, sometimes chasing and playing, sometimes jumping out of the water.

The flowers are smiling, and the dewdrops are crystal clear, swaying in the wind.

The Queen Mother, Xiao Yuehan, Qing'er and the others were strolling on the winding path under the covered bridge.

The sun was just setting, casting its morning glow on them, giving them a warm feeling on the slightly chilly morning of early autumn.

Qing'er asked Guihua, who was accompanying her, to bring the canopy.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuehan advised, "Don't use an umbrella, the sun is shining brightly at this time.

Sunbathing can supplement calcium and warm the body. "

The Queen Mother and Qing'er looked at Xiao Yuehan in confusion and asked almost at the same time: "Calcium supplements?"

Xiao Yuehan was stunned and thought: There seems to be no such word as "calcium supplementation" in ancient times.

She thought for a moment and said, "It's to make our bones stronger," was all she could say.

The Queen Mother and Qing'er both laughed. They still didn't understand, nor did they want to figure it out.

The Queen Mother used her face to greet the sunlight, she closed her eyes slightly, and let Xiao Yuehan and Qing'er support her as she walked.

She said slowly: "But this sunshine shining on my body does make me feel comfortable."

Then he opened his eyes and said to Qing'er, "Don't always use the canopy to cover me when you go out next time.

Let me bask in the sun like this tree and this flower."

"Yes. Xiao Yuehan didn't expect that the Queen Mother would be so capable of accepting new things.

"Your Majesty is right. Everything grows with the help of the sun."

This was the first time they had heard these new words, but they all understood them.

The Queen Mother carefully discussed this with Xiao Yuehan: "All things grow with the help of the sun. Does that mean I also need to rely on the sun to keep healthy?"

Wow. Xiao Yuehan was so excited. The Queen Mother was the Queen Mother. She had received a good education since she was a child and her comprehension ability was too strong.

She explained like a teacher lecturing a student: "Yes, Queen Mother.

Look at the flowers, grass, birds and butterflies in front of us. They all depend on the sunshine.

The same goes for us. If we don't let the sun shine on our bodies for a long time, our bodies will become unhealthy.

If we get some sun exposure regularly, we can increase our resistance and are less likely to get sick.

Our bones love the sun, too.

The sun also warms our bodies, causing blood to flow faster and speeding up our metabolism.

So get some sun often.”

The Queen Mother listened very carefully, but she didn't understand anything about metabolism.

Xiao Yuehan did not continue to explain why modern concepts had to be instilled into ancient people.

She couldn't help but think of Professor He from the Military Medical University. Xiao Yuehan was his favorite student, and he was very confident in his judgment.

Did he know where his most talented student had gone? He thought of his classmates in the military academy, his professors, and his secret crush Zhou Chengzhi.

Thinking about her parents who had nurtured her wholeheartedly, she suddenly felt very sad.

Combined with staying up late last night, she felt dizzy and her stomach churning, but she persisted and did not let herself vomit.

In her confusion, she knew clearly that if she vomited, it would inevitably increase the Queen Mother's suspicion.

There happened to be a stone table and stone bench in front of them. Xiao Yuehan quickly helped the Queen Mother sit down and steady herself.

After all, she was young, and she forced herself to suppress the dizziness and the churning in her stomach.

Queen Mother, Qing'er has no idea what Xiao Yuehan has just experienced.

The Queen Mother was admiring her garden with great interest, the sun shining warmly on her body.

The Queen Mother had a ruddy complexion and her well-protected skin was delicate and fair.

She drank the tea Qing'er handed her and took a bite of a small snack.

Use the silk in your hand to tease the beautiful butterflies flying among the flowers.

He directed Qing'er to cut a bunch of flowers of various colors and pile them on the stone table.

She taught Xiao Yuehan and Qing'er how to arrange flowers.

She arranged the flowers of various colors and shapes in an orderly manner.

Xiao Yuehan was stunned. Isn't this the modern and elegant art of flower arrangement?

The Queen Mother looked at her flower arrangement and smiled happily.

She said to Qing'er, "Is this my garden? How come I never knew it was so beautiful?"

Qin Er used a silk handkerchief to wipe the sweat off the Queen Mother's forehead and said with a smile, "The Queen Mother usually likes to rest in the palace.

Just walk around the garden in the evening after the sun goes down."

Qin Er looked at the Queen Mother’s fair skin and asked Xiao Yuehan, “Princess, the sun will make your skin rough and dark.

Do you still need to come here to bask in the sun every day?"
