I became an official of the imperial court by eating melons when I was still a baby

The hall was silent for a while, as if time had stopped.

Finally, the Queen Mother coughed softly and spoke, breaking the strange silence.

"So that's how it is..." The Queen Mother whispered, "Old Ancestor Fu Heng turned out to be so... um... lively and free-spirited. I am really surprised."

Then, the Queen Mother smiled and said to Madam Fu: "However, I still want to thank you for always thinking of me. I am glad to accept this kindness."

The Queen Mother turned around and called over Madam Liu, and softly instructed, "Madam, put the box away."

"Yes!" Nanny Liu responded quickly, then quickly walked to Fu Rong, carefully took the wooden box, and returned to the Queen Mother.

Seeing that the mission was accomplished, Fu Rong returned to stand beside Old Madam Fu.

At this time, Madam Fu showed a satisfied smile on her face, and she replied to the Queen Mother:

"You are so polite, Queen Mother. We are a family. Now that we know that this elixir may help cure that stubborn disease, we certainly hope it can help the Queen Mother."

After saying these words, Madam Fu slowly stood up and bowed deeply to the Queen Mother to show her respect.

"The medicine has been delivered, and it's time for me to return home. May the Queen Mother take good care of herself and stay healthy!"

The Queen Mother looked at Old Madam Fu, her eyes revealing a trace of reluctance, "If you are not in a hurry to go back, would you please stay and have dinner with me before leaving?"

Madam Fu shook her head slightly and sighed softly, "Alas, I am old and useless! My eyes can no longer see clearly, and it is even more difficult to move freely at night."

"Although I really want to spend more time with the Queen Mother, I am unable to do so. I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me!"

The Queen Mother heard this and stopped trying to persuade him: "If that's the case, then forget it. This is my first time meeting these two young people, and as an elder, I should prepare a gift for them."

After saying that, she turned around and instructed Aunt Liu beside her: "Go and take out two sets of the jade headpiece and jade bracelets that I just bought from my treasure house, and also take out a hundred-year-old ginseng."

After hearing the order, Nanny Liu hurried forward to prepare.

Seeing this, Madam Fu quickly stretched out her hand to stop him and declined politely, "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, the gift you gave me is too precious. You have already given us many good things during the festivals every year. There is really no need to reward us again."

However, the Queen Mother said firmly: "My dear cousin, please don't be polite to me. I rarely meet my relatives from my mother's family. It is only natural for me to give you some gifts when we meet each other this time!"

Then he advised: "Don't refuse, cousin!"

Seeing the Queen Mother was so persistent, Madam Fu knew she couldn't continue to give in, so she stopped trying to persuade her and instead told the two younger generations, "What are you two still standing there for? Why don't you thank the Queen Mother!"

Upon seeing this, Yao Yuzhen and Fu Rong hurriedly bowed respectfully once again.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for the reward!"

Nanny Liu acted quickly and soon prepared all the items needed for the Empress Dowager's order. She carefully placed them in a box to prevent them from being damaged by collision.

Afterwards, the three members of the Fu family thanked the Queen Mother again and left the palace with their rewards.

Eunuch Li breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them finally leave. He could finally take a look at the pills in the wooden box. He had been waiting for a long time.

The Queen Mother was also very excited at this moment. Just now Li Fuquan told her that Xiao Fuguan had specially bought pills for her to treat hair loss, and then the Fu family happened to bring these pills into the palace to present them.

If you say this is just a coincidence, the Queen Mother will never believe it.

She knew very well in her heart that this pill must have been made by Xiao Fuguan and her sister using some magic, so that it could appear in the world so naturally without arousing anyone's suspicion.

The Queen Mother put aside the turmoil in her heart, stared at the wooden box with burning eyes, and said, "Madame Liu, please open the box and let me have a look."

"Yes! I'll open it right away!" Matron Liu replied.

After she finished speaking, Nanny Liu carefully held the wooden box with one hand, and put her other hand on the box, flipping it up with force.

However, the next moment, something happened that puzzled the Empress Dowager and Madam Liu - the wooden box seemed to be stuck firmly, and no matter how hard Madam Liu tried, she could not open it.

Seeing that Madam Liu was sweating profusely due to anxiety, Eunuch Li on the side suddenly remembered that the wooden box that Qin Qin received last time was in the same situation. No matter how hard others tried, it was useless. Only Qin Qin could open it effortlessly.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Li hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully advised the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, this wooden box may require you to open it in person. Previously, the things that Xiao Fuguan bought for his father Qin Qin were also packed in such a wooden box, and at that time only Qin Qin himself could open it."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't help feeling a little surprised, but more of it was curiosity.

She had never thought that there was such a magical thing in the world! Could it be able to actively identify the person who opened it? !

At this moment, she had no time to marvel at the sight. She impatiently took the wooden box from Aunt Liu's hand, and then reached out her hand without hesitation to try to open it.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother opened the wooden box easily, and the true contents of the box were revealed to everyone.

I saw a pitch-black pill emitting a faint fluorescence lying there quietly, with its bottom supported by a soft lining, making it look particularly mysterious.

The Queen Mother looked at the mysterious pill carefully, her heart full of anticipation.

She thought of her bald head and the wigs in the room. She was reluctant to part with them. They were really convenient for changing hairstyles...

However, the empress dowager recalled her black hair when she was young, and she missed her hair then very much. After all, the wig was not her own hair, so she took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation.

Instantly, a warm current surged into the empress dowager's heart, and she felt her whole body become comfortable.

She closed her eyes and quietly felt the changes brought about by the pill.

Madam Liu and Eunuch Li were also waiting nervously, wondering what effect this pill would have...

After a while, the empress dowager slowly opened her eyes and felt a slight itch on the top of her head and temples. She excitedly reached out to touch her temples and was delighted to feel the soft and thin hair strands!

In front of Eunuch Li, the Queen Mother naturally would not take off the hood directly, but there was no doubt that the obvious itchiness on the top of her head indicated that new hair was growing on it.

Suddenly, the Queen Mother was so excited that tears filled her eyes.

After so many years, she was troubled by hair loss in the beginning, then gradually accepted the reality, and finally appeared in public wearing a wig. Now she can finally have her own hair and can finally show her true face to people!

"This is truly a miracle drug!" the Queen Mother murmured to herself, "Sister Yue has really helped me a lot!"

The Queen Mother decided to reward Qin Yue well.

At the same time, Qin Yue outside the palace sneezed loudly, [Huh? Who is thinking about me? ]

System: [Hey, maybe it’s the new melon calling the host...]
