Lu Ze coaxed Lingling softly and said, "Dad no longer clings to mother when he's grown up, and you shouldn't cling to mother either." Qi Yuning pushed Lu Ze away and picked up Lingling: "Don't talk nonsense. Lingling can always stick to her mother." Lingling reached out and hugged Qi Yuning's neck tightly, "Lingling likes mother." Qi Yuning rubbed Lingling and said, "Come on, let's release the kite and let all the bad luck go." In the Tai Chi Hall. Emperor Shi Yuan angrily accused Zhao Chongdao: "Do you still remember that you are Ze'er's biological uncle? You actually made Yu Xu the minister of Dali Temple privately, but do you still put me in your eyes?" Zhao Chong stepped forward and helped Emperor Shi Yuan slowly sit down and said: "Father, please don't be anxious. Ze'er is a bit young after all. He is really not old enough to convince the public at such a young age." "He is only two years younger than you. I have already ascended the throne as emperor at his age!" Emperor Shiyuan said angrily, "Back then, your sister married the Lu family just because of you. Instead of helping your own nephew, you actually helped promote the Yu family... You are simply confused!" Zhao Chong said repeatedly: "Father, please don't get angry. Taoist Master He specially warned you not to get angry when taking the longevity pill."
Emperor Shiyuan opened a longevity pill and took it. Zhao Chong lit the incense on the side and said: "Father, you should be more calm, so that I can prosper for generations to come." Emperor Shiyuan took a deep breath of the sweet smell, calmed down and said, "I have treated Ze'er badly this time, today is still his birthday." Zhao Chong smiled lightly and said: "Ze'er is Gu's nephew. If Gu has treated him badly, he will definitely make up for it." Emperor Shi Yuan smelled the sweet smell and felt relaxed physically and mentally: "Taoist Master He's elixir is really very useful. Combined with the scent of this sweet grass, it can make all diseases disappear." Zhao Chong said: "Father, it's fine if you like it. This sweet grass is more scarce than Taoist Master He's elixir. I heard that there are often rumors in Persia that smoking the sweet grass scent can prolong your life." Emperor Shi Yuan came to the incense burner and smelled it, "Your Majesty is interested." Seeing Emperor Shiyuan smoking in front of the incense burner, Zhao Chong saluted and said, "Father, I will take my leave first." Emperor Shiyuan said: "Wait a minute, I treated Ze'er badly today, I have to reward him with a birthday gift. You can take it for me later." "Yes." Zhao Chong responded. …… On Longhua Mountain, the azaleas in the mountains are in full bloom, and under the warm sunshine in spring, peach blossoms, cherry blossoms, and begonia flowers are in full bloom. The warm sun was shining on the mountain, and the spring was warm. Lingling was only wearing a pink chest-length shirt and skirt, and was throwing a paper kite that was taller than her. She was accidentally crushed by the paper kite. Qi Yuning and Lu Ze looked on with a chuckle. Lingling crawled out from under the paper kite, took Lu Ze's hand and said, "Dad, come and release the paper kite." Lu Ze took the paper kite string and let out some, then took the kite and let it fly next to the mountain stream. After a while, the big paper kite flew into the sky. Lingling clapped her little hands underneath and said, "Daddy is so awesome, Lingling wants to play too." Lu Ze tied the kite string to the wooden stick and gave the wooden stick to Lingling. The kite was so heavy that Lingling was carried for a few steps. Upon seeing this, Qi Yuning stepped forward to support Lingling, glared at Lu Ze and said, "With such a big kite, you are not afraid of making Lingling fly."
Lu Ze whispered: "I didn't expect Lingling to be so light." Lingling couldn't play with the big paper kite, so she walked aside to pick flowers. She picked a bunch of flowers and came to Lichun and said, "Auntie Lichun will help me make a garland. Lingling wants to bring a garland." Lichun's hands are very skillful, and in a short time he made a garland for Lingling to wear. Lingling ran up to Qi Yuning and said, "Mother, do you look good?" Qi Yuning saw the wreath on Lingling's head, smiled softly and said, "It looks good." Lingling handed the flowers she picked to Qi Yuning and said, "Mother, what's the name of this flower?" Qi Yuning looked at the brightly blooming flower in Lingling's hand and said with a smile: "This is called poppy beauty. It is said that when Concubine Yu said goodbye to the King of Chu, her blood was sprinkled on this flower, and the flower bloomed more and more brightly. That’s why it’s named Poppy.” "Princess, this is not a poppy." Shuangjiang said, "This is a poppy from Persia." "Afurong?" Qi Yuning had never heard of afurong. Shuangsheng stood aside and said: "It wasn't long after aphrodisiac was introduced to our dynasty. The biggest difference between this aphrodisiac and poppy poppies is that it has fluff and there is no fluff. The one without fluff is hibiscus. Persian merchants said that aphronium is used as a spice. There will be a sweet smell, and smelling the burning incense can make you feel relaxed physically and mentally, but it can also lead to addiction. It is a poison and should not be touched lightly." Qi Yuning repeatedly asked Lingling to throw away the aphrodisiac in her hand, "Why are there Persian flowers here?" Shuang Jiang leaned close to Qi Yuning's ear and listened softly, "I heard from a Persian drug dealer that when the Princess of Jin was in unbearable pain, she often used aphrodisiac to relieve pain. The Jin Palace purchased a large amount of aphrodisiac spice from the Persian drug dealer all the year round. .” Qi Yuning raised her eyes and looked at Shuang Jiang and said, "Princess Jin has been gone for a long time. Why did Prince Jin buy afurong now?" Shuang lowered her voice and said: "Persian businessmen said that if a pregnant woman smokes hibiscus, the child born will also have the addiction brought out of the mother's womb, which is hopeless. The slave girl is thinking about whether Princess Rong also needs hibiscus spice. ?” Qi Yuning said: "In addition to being addictive, what harm does this aphrodisiac have?" Shuangjiang said: "It is extremely harmful. The body will become thinner day by day, and may even become weak and seriously ill. However, because opium can relieve pain, addicts often take more doses, resulting in a sharp reduction in life span. If the addiction is severe, it is easy to be poisoned by overdose. Death, this thing is very harmful to people." Qi Yuning said: "No wonder Princess Rong of Prince Jin seldom goes out. Since she would have carried her in her mother's womb, why did Princess Jin harm her own child in the first place? Alas." Shuangjiang dare not comment more. Qi Yuning said: "Don't touch this aphrodisiac thing lightly. Instruct the medical clinics in various places to see if the aphron has flowed into our Dasheng Dynasty. If so, we must not tolerate it." Lu Ze came over and asked, "Afurong?" Qi Yuning told Lu Ze what Shuangjiang had just said. Lu Ze heard this and said: "This thing is really not a good thing." Qi Yuning looked at the hibiscus flowers growing by the river and said, "This flower is as beautiful as a poppy poppy, but it turns out to be so poisonous. We'd better order the guards to eradicate it after we leave." Lu Ze asked Shuang Jiang: "Once addicted to this drug, is it possible to withdraw?" Shuang Jiang said: "I heard from Persian businessmen that it is possible to quit, but quitting is like going to the gate of hell. Many people cannot survive and quit. This thing is really harmful!" Lu Ze pondered the aphrodisiac and said, "This thing must never fall into the wrong hands." Qi Yuning said: "The King of Jin should also know that a gentleman loves money and gets it wisely. I don't think he will leave the good prince alone and start the drug business by taking the wrong approach." Lu Ze nodded and said, "That's true."
It was cold before, and Lingling had not gone out to play since she came back from Beicheng. Today she played until the sun was about to go down. She was afraid that the mountain road would be difficult to walk at night, so Lingling was willing to go down the mountain. Back in the princess mansion, Princess Pingrou had already prepared a large table for Lu Ze to celebrate his birthday. As soon as Qi Yuning and Lu Ze Lingling entered the hall, they saw His Highness the Crown Prince sitting at the head. When Lingling saw Zhao Chong, she shrank into Lu Ze's arms and said, "Daddy!" Qi Yuning hugged Lingling and gave a perfunctory salute to Zhao Chong: "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince. Lingling is sleepy. I will take Lingling back to the palace to rest." Princess Pingrou said: "Since Lingling is sleepy, let the maid take her to Ze'er Courtyard to rest. I have already prepared a house for Lingling. You can stay and have a meal." Lingling was really sleepy. She had been playing wildly in the mountains this afternoon, and she had long since lost the energy and was yawning nonstop. Qi Yuning gave Li Chun and Shuang Jiang to Li Chun and asked them to accompany Li Ling to rest, and she sat next to Lu Baozhu. Qi Yuning saw Lu Baozhu's expression as if he had eaten a firecracker and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you so angry?" "Not yet uncle!" Lu Baozhu looked at Zhao Chongdao, "Uncle, you are the biological uncle of me and my eldest brother. How could you turn your elbows away and give my eldest brother's position as Minister of Dali Temple to Qin Yuli? uncle!" Zhao Chong looked at Lu Ze and said, "Ze'er is also angry with uncle?" Lu Zedao: "Your Highness must have had many considerations in choosing Yu Xu as Minister of Dali Temple. I can understand." Zhao Chongdao: "It's not that Gu Luo doesn't help you, my close nephew, it's because you are too young. It's inevitable that Gu Luo will become a nepotistic person..." Qi Yuning said in a bad tone: "The Eastern Palace is almost surnamed Qin now, isn't that enough of a nepotism?" Zhao Chong was not annoyed when he saw Qi Yuning's unkind tone in front of him. He just looked at Qi Yuning. She had flowers in her bun, as if a child put them on for fun. Lu Guogong coughed and said, "Today is Ze'er's birthday. Let's eat and drink. Eat and drink." Lu Ze gave Qi Yuning a piece of grilled lamb rib. Qi Yuning had no intention of eating and drinking, but her nose was more sensitive, and she smelled a faint sweet fragrance from Zhao Chong.
