Chapter 29 I am already old

Early the next morning, Queen Changsun got up.

Looking at the slightly pale face in the bronze mirror, Queen Changsun sighed slightly.

The red-flecked girl behind her comforted her, "Mom, please relax, you will get better in a few days."

"Sister, don't try to persuade me. I know how my sister is doing. I went to the tavern today and wanted to ask the tavern owner to draw a picture for me."

"Please help me clean up my sister. At least, she should be more beautiful." Empress Changsun smiled slightly and her voice was soft.

She didn't dare tell Hongfu Nu that she was going to see her son.

I can only make up such an excuse.

But speaking of it, it wasn't all an excuse, Zhao Chen really wanted to paint a picture for her.

"This shopkeeper can actually draw?" Hongfu Nu asked in surprise.

She thought again about the bastard she met. He dared to sell her a bowl of porridge for a hundred cents. It was simply unreasonable.

Comparing the two, Hongfu Nu wanted to punish the shopkeeper severely.

"Yes, that child is excellent at calligraphy and painting. Even Your Majesty finds it magical." Empress Changsun praised her child, and like other mothers, she spared no effort.

"Mother, can I take Ruoshuang with me? She is confined at home alone, and I am a little worried." Hong Funu thought of Li Ruoshuang.

"Sister, you have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Since you are worried about Ruoshuang girl, just take her with you." Empress Changsun said with a smile.

"Alas, the girl has grown up, and as a mother, I can't take care of her anymore." Hong Fu Nu sighed, shook her head, and dressed up with the eldest grandson Queen.

…

After Li Shimin finished handling the political affairs, he went to the Li Zheng Hall.

Today he was taking Empress Changsun to see Zhao Chen. Thinking that he still needed to consult Zhao Chen on some matters, he felt a little more anxious.

"Guanyin Maid, are you ready? We are about to set off." Li Shimin called out as soon as he entered the Li Zheng Hall.

"Your Majesty, let's go." Queen Changsun turned around.

Li Shimin rubbed his eyes and looked at Queen Changsun in disbelief.

Although the makeup was light, it concealed the illness of Queen Changsun.

A little application of pink and white will already make you look stunning.

"Guanyin is still the same as she was more than ten years ago, but I am already old." Li Shimin supported Empress Changsun and sighed.

"Your Majesty Qianqiu, why do you say such depressing words?" Queen Changsun advised.

"Qianqiu, if I could see Guanyin like this every day, what would I do to Qianqiu?" Li Shimin sighed.

"I will be by your Majesty's side every day." Empress Changsun said with a smile.

Li Shimin looked at Queen Changsun, and he didn't know what he felt in his heart.

Hong Fu Nu stood aside and didn't say a word.

But he sighed secretly in his heart.

…

Forget the Worry Tavern.

Zhao Chen is going back to Wannian County today, and the tavern is not open.

The two of them sat in the tavern with Fu Bo, waiting for the folks' ox cart.

Zhao Chen would not be able to walk back for dozens of miles without an ox cart.

"Sir, in another hour, the villagers should be here. It's very windy outside, why don't you go in and have a rest first, and I'll wait here?" Uncle Fu was afraid that Zhao Chen would blow the wind, so he persuaded.

"It doesn't matter, it's nice here." Zhao Chen smiled.

"Sir, it seems that a guest has arrived." Uncle Fu looked up and saw two carriages coming towards them on the street.

"Uncle Fu, go and tell them that the tavern is closed today." Zhao Chen said.

In addition to Lao Li and the others, people from the tavern usually come to eat occasionally.

Although they are few, they are still a large family.

Zhao Chen only thought it was a guest.

"Zhao boy, a certain

here we go again. " Before Uncle Fu could make any move, Zhao Chen heard Old Li Tou's voice.

Looking up, he saw Old Li getting out of the carriage and then helping Mrs. Li get out of the carriage.

"Aunt!" Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment, then stood up immediately.

He hadn't seen Mrs. Li for some days, and knowing that she was ill, he couldn't help but feel worried.

What's more, even when he was ill, Mrs. Li never forgot to find a job for him.

This kind of kindness is unforgettable in Zhao Chen's heart.

Zhao Chen stood up and walked over on his own initiative.

"Aunt." Zhao Chen cupped his hands towards Mrs. Li.

Seeing Zhao Chen again, Empress Changsun naturally felt uneasy.

Thinking that Zhao Chen in front of her was her biological son who had been living abroad for sixteen years, Empress Changsun couldn't help but feel a slight soreness in her nose.

But at this time, he must not show anything strange.

"Zhao Chen, you're doing okay lately." Empress Changsun said with a smile.

"It's good. Auntie looks really good today." Zhao Chen nodded and praised with a smile.

Queen Changsun was overjoyed and secretly thought that her preparations were not in vain.

"My aunt heard that you were going to paint a painting for me today, so she dressed up. She hasn't been so grand for a long time, but she is a little uncomfortable." Empress Changsun smiled faintly, and her words were like a spring breeze.

"My aunt is naturally beautiful. She doesn't need to dress up, but Lao Litou is very lucky." Zhao Chen smiled and looked at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin felt uncomfortable thinking that Queen Changsun was so dressed up today because of Zhao Chen.

Suddenly hearing Zhao Chen say this, he glared at him dissatisfied.

"Boy Zhao, I brought a lot of people here today. You and I will cook a few dishes and, by the way, serve wine." Li Shimin hummed.

"Not today. I have to go to my hometown in Wannian County later. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until tomorrow." Zhao Chen shook his head.

r\u003e You can never go back on what you promised over there.

"Then don't go. Your aunt came here specially today, how could you let her go back empty-handed?" Li Shimin frowned.

Queen Changsun finally came here.

I'll come here next time, but I don't know when it will be.

"How about this? I'll draw a picture with my aunt, and after two days, I'll pay her a visit in person. How about that?" Zhao Chen was unwilling and could only put aside the matters on one side for now.

"No……"

"My child, why are you going to Wannian County? Can you tell your aunt?" Queen Changsun tugged at the corner of Li Shimin's clothes and asked Zhao Chen.

"The villagers' rice has eared. They don't understand the new type of rice very well, so they asked me to go back and have a look." Zhao Chen explained.

"It's just rice, let's talk about it in two days." Li Shimin waved his hand.

"I have already promised that side, and I will never break my promise." Zhao Chen flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.

"Stop." Li Shimin shouted from behind.

Zhao Chen ignored him and went straight back to the tavern.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry." Queen Changsun advised.

Li Shimin looked sullen and stared at Zhao Chen.

"Sister, is this the tavern you're talking about?" Hong Fu Nu got off the carriage from behind and unexpectedly discovered that this was the place she had been to yesterday.

That hateful boy was here, selling her a bowl of porridge for a hundred cents.

"Exactly, could it be that sister..." Queen Changsun was shocked.

"Good boy, Ruoshuang, come here with your mother. We raided his tavern today." Hongfu Nu said hello to Li Ruoshuang.

He pulled out his long sword and rushed towards Wangyou Tavern.

A trace of astonishment flashed in Li Ruoshuang's eyes, and she followed slowly.

"Sister, stop." Queen Changsun shouted from behind, and she was already running forward.
