Chapter 196 I Really Didn’t Treat Them as Outsiders
Qianbaiwei Food Court specializes in catering to female customers. Among all the shops on Zhuque Street, the food court is naturally the most suitable for the Empress Dowager to visit.
Li Jixin's eyes turned slightly.
"Prime Minister Mu, the great grandmother is old and frail, so she shouldn't be overly happy or sad. Send someone to invite Divine Doctor Ye over."
"Go find Peng Yuanzheng. He's on duty at the Imperial Palace today."
"Can Peng Baicao's medical skills compare to Divine Doctor Ye's? If my great-grandmother makes even the slightest mistake, you'll be the only one I'll hold responsible."
Prime Minister Mu was furious, but he could only send someone to pick up Ye Jianan.
Li Jixin continued, "Prime Minister Mu, if you borrow someone's space, don't forget to compensate them for their losses. Otherwise, the court will be embarrassed."
Prime Minister Mu glanced at Yang Ziliang.
Yang Ziliang was speechless. What was he doing? He should have reported this matter to the Ministry of Revenue. Oh, Ruan Bai was not there.
Yang Ziliang cursed in his heart. The food in that food court was really not cheap. He had spent a lot of money just buying food for Li Jixin these days.
If he were to take over the food court, it would cost him several months' salary, right?
If old man Ruan Bai doesn't reimburse him, he will stab him in the heart every day.
Although Yang Ziliang complained a lot, he still went to the food court.
Most of the customers in the store were those who had hid here in danger that morning. They were all people who loved to watch the fun, and when they heard that the Queen Mother was coming, they left the store reluctantly.
When Yang Ziliang asked for the private screening fee, Lu Yanyan was stunned.
The Empress Dowager and those two incredibly handsome boys, Li Jiren and Li Jixin, have all been to her shop. Her shop will be full for at least three months, okay?
However, if you don't make money, you're a bastard.
"Five hundred taels, thank you."
Fortunately, the group of people who just left settled their bills, otherwise she would have offered seven hundred taels.
Yang Ziliang's heart choked. Five hundred taels! His annual salary was only eight hundred taels.
But considering the normal business of this store, five hundred taels is not too much to ask for. He must find a way to get more from Ruan Bai.
Lu Yanyan asked someone to quickly clean up the best private room in the backyard and served several servings of all the food and drinks in the restaurant.
Li Jiren and Li Jixin helped the Empress Dowager into the food court, and Prince Qing and his son followed behind.
Li Jiren also called out to Yang Ziliang, "Master Yang, please call the newly crowned top scholar Han Qingyun over. He's in the Mingxiang Tower next door."
Yang Ziliang: What?
Han Qingyun is a future pillar that Yang Ziliang is optimistic about. He feels heartbroken when he thinks that this person might be taken to Jiyang.
But Han Qingyun is not from Jiyang yet, and Li Jiren dares to flirt with Han Qingyun in front of him. This is too much!
Li Jiren frowned.
"Master Yang, what are you thinking about? Don't you know that Mrs. Lu from the Gourmet Shop is Han Qingyun's wife? It's not convenient for us to come to this shop with the Second Prince, so it's better for him to be here too. Don't you agree? Minister of Rites."
He stretched out the words "Minister of Rites" to make them look particularly long.
Yang Ziliang's face flushed. How could he have forgotten? These days, he had seen Han Qingyun and this Lu Dongjia going in and out together quite often.
Thinking back to the ranking of the palace examination, the emperor wanted to move Han Qingyun to the back because Han Qingyun was not a wealthy businessman. At that time, the emperor said, "It's just three shops."
Yang Ziliang shed tears of envy. He would never be able to earn enough to own three shops like this in his entire life.
Li Jixin drove everyone out of the store, leaving only Lu Yanyan to lead them to the private room.
The Empress Dowager looked at the children's playground in the courtyard and couldn't help but praise it, "What a clever idea."
Li Jiren, Li Jixin, and Prince Qing couldn't help but be amazed. Li Chonglin looked eagerly at the slide, seesaw, and children's room...
The Empress Dowager felt soft-hearted.
"Xiaowu can stay in the yard and play. I'd like to trouble Shopkeeper Lu to keep an eye on him."
Including the young prince of Prince Lin’s Mansion who died young, Li Chonglin ranked fifth.
Lu Yanyan knelt down and responded, but he felt strange that these people really trusted him.
Watching several people enter the box, Lu Yanyan explained to Li Chonglin how to play.
Li Chonglin is a smart man. After Lu Yanyan explained it only once, he knew how to play it.
The suppressed crying of several people could be heard in the box.
Lu Yanyan felt a little sad and turned to look at Li Chonglin, only to see him wiping his tears and pretending to be playing as if nothing had happened.
Han Qingyun came in with Ye Jianan and Han Huaixi.
Ye Jianan's hand holding Han Huaixi was shaking, and Li Jiren's voice was a little hoarse from the restraint.
"Doctor Ye, please bring Xiaoxi in."
Ye Jianan pulled Han Huaixi and strode into the box.
Han Qingyun and Lu Yanyan looked at each other and were certain in their hearts that their family was the one Li Jixin wanted to take away.
When Ye Jianan saw the Grand Empress Dowager, he knelt before her and said, "Little Master."
Then he said to Han Huaixi: "This is the Junior Grandmaster."
Han Huaixi kowtowed obediently: "Little Grandmaster."
"Good boy, good boy, get up quickly."
The Empress Dowager looked at Han Huaixi and liked him more and more. She took out a jade pendant from her body and put it into Han Huaixi's hand.
After Han Huaixi expressed his gratitude, he was pulled by the Empress Dowager to sit beside her.
The Empress Dowager looked at Ye Jianan's right index finger again and felt heartbroken.
"Little Sister, don't worry. Xiaoxi has learned the Ye family's Eighteen Needles very well. She will definitely be better than me in the future."
The Empress Dowager nodded, then looked carefully at Han Qingyun and Lu Yanyan outside the door and nodded. These two people looked like good kids.
Lu Yanyan and Han Qingyun did not close the door, and the two wanted to go far away so as not to disturb them.
"Mr. Han, Mrs. Han, there's no need to avoid suspicion. There's nothing you can't hear."
Han Qingyun smiled bitterly. Li Jiren really didn't treat them as outsiders. The two of them had no choice but to stand outside the door and listen to the conversation inside.
"That day, news arrived that your father was seriously injured. Your grandfather vomited blood during the morning court session and has been bedridden ever since.
The Queen took me to the Huguo Temple to pray, but when I came back, your grandfather had passed away, and even Wan'er was gone.
I am sorry for you, I didn't protect your grandmother well..."
Whenever the Empress Dowager thought of Qi Miaowan, she felt as if a piece of her heart was being cut out.
When Emperor Yongle was still the Prince of Qin, she entered the Prince of Qin's mansion as a female doctor and took care of the Princess of Qin and two concubines. They were truly as close as sisters.
Later she became the empress, and she was the only one in Emperor Yongle's harem.
She never thought about why women would make things difficult for other women.
She thought that even if they had the same husband, women would help each other.
Wan'er was a daughter of the Qi family and could not be the empress. The Duke of Ying's Mansion had indeed made many contributions to Emperor Yongle, so she and Emperor Yongle decided that Ruan Qingyao would be the Crown Princess and Wan'er would be the concubine.
It was not until they met later that she regretted this decision more and more, but she had made a move and could not regret it. She could only try to be nicer to Wan'er to make up for this innocent girl.
But she and Wan'er had been like mother and daughter their entire lives, yet in the end, she let Wan'er end up like that...
The Empress Dowager felt so much pain in her heart that she could hardly breathe.
Han Huaixi pressed her Neiguan and Danzhong acupoints. After a long time, the Empress Dowager finally resumed her normal breathing.
Li Jixin lay on the Empress Dowager's knees.
"Grandma, I don't blame you. You've suffered enough. Father asked us to take you home."
The Empress Dowager shed tears and nodded: "Go home, go home."
She turned to look at Ye Jianan: "Jianan, these kids think I'm old and can't handle anything. Tell me, what happened to Ying'er? Don't lie to me."
Ye Jianan's eyes were red.
"The prince is not well. If he is kept half asleep and half awake like this, he may live to be fifty. But if he is allowed to wake up, I'm afraid he will only have two years to live."
"My Ying'er..."
The Empress Dowager pounded her chest. That was her most beloved grandson, her pride, but now he could only lie in bed like a living dead.
Li Jiren grabbed the Empress Dowager's hand.
"Grandma, there's hope. You must stay healthy and watch Father get better. If he wakes up and sees you sick, who knows how heartbroken he'll be."
The Empress Dowager hugged Li Jiren and cried for a while.
Han Qingyun and Lu Yanyan felt sorry for what they heard. It turned out that something really happened to Prince Lin.
Li Jixin wants to take them to Jiyang, which must be related to Prince Lin’s health, but how can they help?
There must be something they don't know.
