Wearing the Duke's Mansion, he was scrambling to save his life

Chapter 163: Anti-aging Pot

Princess Anping sat on a pear wood chair, holding the teacup in one hand and the lid in the other, gently fanning the rising hot air.

He said slowly: "When did the lady come back?"

The little girl kneeling below said, "Princess, the lady came back a few days ago and brought back a boy who is almost the same age as the lady."

Princess Anping took a sip of tea slowly and swallowed it gently.

She smiled at the nanny standing next to her and said, "Interesting, you brought a man back."

"How old is that man? About thirty years old?"

"Princess, the man looks to be around 18 or 19 years old."

Princess Anping gently put down the teacup and said to the little girl below in a gentle voice: "Don't be nervous, answer the question properly. How can you be about the same age as Madam when you are eighteen or nineteen? Madam was eighteen when she got married. She is over thirty now, right?"

"Princess, my lady's appearance has not changed. She is still the same as when she got married."

Princess Anping paused and said gently: "Oh! Very good, serve Madam well."

He said to the nanny beside him: "Give her a tael of silver and let her go!"

The nanny took out one or two taels of silver. The little girl took the silver and knelt down happily to greet him.

Wait until the little girl leaves the hall.

Princess Anping was a little confused. After ten years, she still looked only eighteen years old. What kind of girl was this born in the Qiao family?

"This girl's body is different from that of ordinary people!" Princess Anping said softly.

Mammy whispered, "No wonder the charcoal, which has always worked, can't kill the lady!"

Princess Anping smiled faintly and said, "I have no other choice. I will not take any action. I will leave it to the Queen to handle. The Zhao family should handle their own affairs."

Zhao Wudi came to Wuyuan and said that the queen was holding a flower-viewing banquet in the palace and invited wealthy ladies and nobles to appreciate the flowers.

Qiao Xiaoxi lay on the recliner in the yard and didn't want to go.

If you don't want to join in the fun in the palace, you will suffer if you don't do it well.

Zhao Wudi held Qiao Xiaoxi's hand and said, "Go! The Queen forced me to marry Princess Chaoyang. I said I found Qiao Xiaoxi. The Queen said she found her and asked me to bring her to the palace for a look. Otherwise, the Queen will ask the Emperor for permission to marry Princess Chaoyang."

Qiao Xiaoxi said with a smile: "Just grant the marriage!"

Zhao Wudi's face turned cold, and he stared at Qiao Xiaoxi: "What do you mean? You don't want me anymore!"

Qiao Xiaoxi stood up and stretched out her hand to pinch Zhao Wudi's mouth: "Go away, stop looking like a debtor. I'm going with you."

Zhao Wudi took Qiao Xiaoxi's hand, held it in his palm, leaned over and kissed Qiao Xiaoxi.

Pulled Qiao Xiaoxi out of Wuyuan.

Arriving at the palace gate and getting off the carriage, Zhao Wudi warned: "Follow me closely, don't get lost!"

The eunuch I met last time was waiting at the palace gate. When he saw Zhao Wudi and Qiao Xiaoxi, he hurried over to greet them.

"Young Master, Madam, the Queen wants to see you two."

Zhao Wudi brought Qiao Xiaoxi and followed the eunuch to the Queen's palace.

The queen sat on the high seat, and the concubines sat in order.

Zhao Wudi and Qiao Xiaoxi were just about to salute.

"No need to be polite." The Queen said with a smile, "Come here, Xixi, let me take a closer look."

Qiao Xiaoxi walked over and the queen took Qiao Xiaoxi's hand.

He said gently: "I haven't seen you for ten years. Xixi's face hasn't changed at all. Her hands are as white and delicate as they were ten years ago."

The Imperial Noble Consort and the Virtuous Consort came over and asked in surprise, "It's true! Xixi, how did you keep your youthful appearance?"

Qiao Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Practicing yoga can keep your face young."

I have to let yoga take the blame. I don’t know why I don’t age with the years.

The Queen laughed and said, "I heard that it is very popular in the palace now. She is the cousin of the virtuous princess. She learned it from some female teacher."

Xian Fei smiled and said, "Lipin can do it too. It looks very good. The emperor likes it."

The Imperial Concubine smiled and said, "This is not easy to learn. Only young people can learn it. I am old and weak, so I really can't do it."

The queen touched her face and smiled, "When I was young, I had never heard of this skill of keeping one's youth. I heard from Princess Xian that it was the teacher of that lady, an old immortal who had realized the skill."

The Imperial Concubine touched her face and said, "I'm old! It's better to be young! The Emperor doted on Concubine Li because she was young, and now she doesn't come to my palace anymore!"

Xian Fei laughed and said: "It seems like now, I am in love with Lipin and the new champion!"

This is talking about Tianyou. The emperor was clearly teaching Tianyou how to govern the country, but why did the concubines in the harem say that he was in love with the new number one scholar?

The queen smiled gently and said, "The emperor is not young anymore, it doesn't matter who he favors. It's up to him whether he comes to the palace or not. We old sisters can have fun by ourselves."

The Imperial Concubine smiled at Qiao Xiaoxi and said, "Xixi, come to the palace to play when you are free. I like Xixi when I see her!"

This is digressing.

The virtuous concubine didn't want to drop the topic of the emperor, and continued with a smile: "I heard that this new number one scholar looks like the emperor when he was young."

The Imperial Concubine thought to herself, no matter how much he resembles her, my son Prince Jing will be the one to use him in the future.

The queen thought to herself, no matter what he does, it will be my son, the wise king, who will choose whether to use him or not in the future.
