Chapter 334 Women are more afraid of getting old and ugly
When Shen Zhaojun returned home, the happiest person was Nanny Chen.
Early in the morning, the mother and her two children sat together to have breakfast, with all kinds of breakfast in front of them.
"Madam, you have lost a lot of weight. You should eat something." He ordered the maid to put a stew pot in front of Shen Zhaojun and said, "This old servant will ask the kitchen to simmer the blood swallows over a slow fire overnight. Madam, drink it to replenish your body. You must not lose to the one in the palace."
"The one in the palace?"
Shen Zhaojun looked at Nanny Chen in confusion, then looked at her son, as if asking if anything had happened recently.
Chu Yunhuan shook his head to indicate that he didn't know. Nanny Chen lowered her voice and said, "Madam just came back and I don't know. Recently, everyone has been saying that His Majesty has regained his youth overnight and looks younger than Madam. Many people in Tiandu have opened a bank to place bets: Who will look younger, Madam or His Majesty?"
"boring."
Youhuang spoke suddenly, it seems that they are too well protected, so they are bored to do even more boring things.
Nanny Chen said disapprovingly, "I didn't care about it at first, but the rumors spread more and more, saying that your Majesty has become younger because of the dragon energy of the country, and that the reason why your Majesty has remained young is... I can't say it, anyway, it's not a good thing."
"Huan'er, you have been in Tiandu all the time. Has His Majesty really become younger?" Shen Zhaojun asked curiously. Sure enough, after comparing husbands and children, the next thing to compare is who is younger.
"My mother..." Chu Yunhuan quickly put down his chopsticks and said, "I haven't seen His Majesty recently, but according to the court officials who have seen him, His Majesty looks very good recently and indeed looks younger. As for what's going on in the streets, you don't have to care about it." It would be weird if he didn't care.
As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his mother. Conversely, it can be said that no one knows a mother better than her son. If a mother does not compare herself with others secretly, she would not be called Shen Zhaojun.
"Huang'er, have you finished your meal? Brother will take you to school." Not wanting to continue this topic, Shen Yunhuan had to use Youhuang as an excuse.
"I have not……"
You Huang was peeling eggs and before she could finish her words, Chu Yunhuan pulled her up and dragged her out.
He let go of her hand only after leaving Hanying Garden. He looked at Youhuang who was holding the egg and said, "You look so calm. Did you hear something in the palace?"
"Senior Xue Zun mentioned this to me when we entered the city yesterday." You Huang answered slowly while peeling an egg, and thought for a moment before saying, "Has there been any changes in the court recently? For example, has anyone been given a special official position?"
"Have."
Chu Yunhuan answered affirmatively: "I heard from Mr. Ruan of the Hanlin Academy that His Majesty recently appointed a Taoist priest as the Imperial Master."
Suddenly, he looked at You Huang in surprise and said in disbelief: "You came back with your mother yesterday, so... who was the person who lived with me a few days ago?"
"It was a magic puppet." You Huang did not hide it and explained with a smile: "Some accidents happened and my sister had to wait a few days to get back to Tiandu. Senior Xue Zun cast a spell to change the puppet into my sister's appearance and let it go to school in my place to prevent anyone from making a fuss about this matter."
"No wonder you haven't eaten much these past few days, it turns out it was the puppet that transformed."
Chu Yunhuan was speechless. He didn't see through her intentions at the first sight, which meant that he didn't know his sister well enough.
You Huang disagreed and said, "Xue Zun has always hoped that his sister would fast as soon as possible, so he deliberately made a doll that doesn't eat to satisfy his injured heart."
"Can't you eat while cultivating immortality?" Chu Yunhuan asked in confusion.
"Of course you can, but it's better not to eat it. However, that is for cultivators with average qualifications. For outstanding people like my sister, there is no taboo."
The brother and sister talked as they walked, and unknowingly walked to the second gate.
Suddenly, I heard hurried footsteps. I turned around and saw Xuanbing chasing after me with a food box. I was relieved when I saw that they hadn't gone far.
"The girl forgot to bring her lunch box."
Xuanbing adjusted his breathing and placed the food box in front of Youhuang with both hands.
You Huang put it directly into the ring and said, "I checked Daji's condition last night. She has shown signs of waking up. One of you must stay by her side."
"The servant understands."
Xuan Bing bowed and left.
When talking about Daji, Chu Yunhuan asked in confusion: "A fox, are you so nervous?"
You Huang said helplessly: "Daji is my sister's natal spirit beast. If anything happens to it, my sister won't die, but she will definitely not be happy."
"My natal spirit beast?!"
Chu Yunhuan was surprised and curious, and could not fully understand it literally.
You Huang said calmly, "It means that I have signed a contract with my sister, and I will be at her disposal in the future. However, Daji is only temporary. After he regains his sanity and recovers his cultivation, he will send her back to the fox clan. That is his home, and his family is waiting for him to return home."
"Did you see it?" Chu Yunhuan felt more and more surprised.
"I met the Fox Queen of the Snow Fox Clan, and the Phoenix, Vermillion Bird, and Black Bird of the Wing Clan."
When Suzaku was mentioned, You Huang thought about Suzaku's disappearance and said calmly, "Brother has a wide network of contacts. Has anyone picked up any strange birds recently?"
"Strange bird?" Chu Yunhuan thought for a moment and said, "What kind of bird is considered strange?"
"I've never seen one before..." You Huang thought for a moment and said, "For example, it has red fur all over its body, and looks like a red-feathered chicken."
"Red-feathered chicken, I'll ask someone to ask if anyone has seen such a strange bird." Chu Yunhuan knew that since his sister asked for it, it couldn't be an ordinary bird.
When the brother and sister walked out of the gate, they saw a team parked outside and a female official helped the little palace maid get off the carriage.
You Huang knew at a glance that it was someone from the palace who came to deliver the imperial edict, and she recognized the female official who was getting off the carriage. Chu Yun had already stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your subordinate greets Consort He.
He Shang Gong is A Heng. A Heng's full name is He Yuheng. Because "Yu" is heavy in the royal family, the surname is hidden. Usually, the empress only calls her "A Heng", while others respectfully call her He Shang Gong. She is a popular figure around the empress and is highly valued by the empress.
"Young Marquis is polite!"
Ah Heng returned the greeting and glanced at Youhuang.
Knowing that she was an immortal cultivator, she stepped forward and saluted Youhuang: "Greetings, Miss Youhuang. I am here to convey the emperor's order to summon Madam Shen to the palace to meet the emperor tomorrow."
You Huang didn't expect Ah Heng to take the initiative to explain the reason to her, so she raised her hand to help him up and said, "No need to be so polite, He Shang Gong. I will ask the doorman to go in and report the news. Please wait here for a moment."
He raised his eyes to glance at Ah Heng, then turned back to Chu Yunhuan and said, "You can't be late for school. I'll ask my brother to call He Shanggong. I hope He Shanggong will forgive me."
"Miss Youhuang, just go to school."
Ah Heng bowed with a smile, You Huang returned the greeting, and then bowed to Chu Yunhuan before getting on the carriage, impatiently opening the thing that Ah Heng had stuffed into his hand.
There was a line of words written on the thin piece of paper: The Imperial Master has bewitched Your Majesty into eating things that take blood as a lure. I hope the girl can help me find out what's going on.
As expected, compared to death, women are more afraid of getting old and ugly...
