Wei Changying asked in surprise, "Dahee never found it, how could the Gu family get it? Could it have fallen into the hands of the Gu family? But I remember that no one from the Gu family was close to Princess Xu at that time, right?"

Xu family in Dah that time is still a in the dynasty in the field are quite influential family, but Dah when the country died, because of the force to protect and Xu family have blood relations with the Dah royal grandson in the south to establish a small dynasty, the small dynasty after the destruction. Xu family up and down almost by Wei Gaozu slaughtered empty ...... since then withdrew from the big Wei dynasty of the prestigious family.

But in the Xu family's power in those years, although with today's ancestors of these scholars have dealings or marriages, but have not heard with the Gu family particularly close.

Moreover, for Princess Xu, if she is close, can she be closer than her own blood?

Duanmu Xinmiao didn't think so "It shouldn't be the Gu family. Think about the early years of this dynasty, the Gu family in Hongzhou had a Gu Gu Guifei who lost favor and died of depression after growing old and losing favor. If the Gu family had obtained this formula during the previous dynasty, how could they not give it to her?"

"This kind of formula, it's not something that can be used casually, right?" Wei Chang Ying gently furrowed his brows and said, "You think about the 'Dreaming Scatter' thing, all of our families have heard about it, it's not a secret. It's not a secret. It's fine to prepare this kind of secret medicine in private, but it's not a small matter if people know about it! Especially if we do the use of the subject, so that the king knows, may be when ...... the Jingying Emperor of the Dachu and we just the great line of the previous emperor, that are addicted to wine and sex. They only want to understand the flowers to accompany the side, do not care about the history of the evaluation. But meet with the Mingjun, in order to reputation is not likely to permit the consort in order to invite favor to do so."

"These are trivial matters." Duanmu Xinmiao's interest in the formula itself was far greater than how the Abolitionist Empress Gu had gotten it, and she said unconcernedly, "I'm rather curious as to why this 'Dream Seeing Scatter' has the effect of being able to make a person return to their old age. According to the pharmacology, this is something impossible. However, the records in the history books about Emperor Jing Ying's Concubine Xu are true. If the historians had not tampered with or been hoodwinked, then this formula was probably one of the most esoteric formulas in all of history. In comparison, the cost of looking after Shen Bao for twenty years is yet not too much."

Wei Changying said thoughtfully, "If it really is 'Dreaming Scatter' and it does have the same effect as in the history books, then so be it. It's just that the history books say that Princess Xu regained her youthfulness after using this medicine after she had aged and lost her color. However, it seems that Empress Gu had maintained her blooming face and marvelous appearance since her youth, and only showed a little bit of old age before she was discarded, right? Otherwise, even if she didn't say anything before, the onlookers would have to guess up to 'Dreaming Scatter'."

"This does not mean that it must be false. Because the history books recorded that Princess Xu was after her old age, she didn't know where she had begged for such a formula to come from, and that's why she went back to her old age and returned to her youth. But if Gu had gotten this formula as early as when she was a teenager, and used it from then on, perhaps she just kept her maiden-like appearance all the time?"

Duanmu Xinmiao said, "'Dream Seeing Scatter' because no one has ever seen it except for Princess Xu in the records, so there's no way to recognize it as real or fake. Not to mention the fact that what I took was only half a prescription. I've pondered over it for the past two days, and I think it's rather uncommon. But it's hard to say whether it's real or not, so I wanted to go and seek advice from my master. However, what the Empress Gu said at that time was also reasonable, she took this formula out for the sole purpose of Shen Bao. And since Shen Bao entrusted to me, life, death, honor and disgrace are not in my hands? If it turns out that she has cheated me, she can take it out on Shen Bao. For the sake of Shen Bao's safety, forgive Gu for not daring to lie to me!"

Wei Changying thought to himself, "That's not necessarily true. The Empress Gu asked Duanmu Xinmiao to take care of Shen Bao for a very long period of time, twenty years. Compared to Shen Bo, who could insult or kill his first sister as soon as he ascended to the throne, Shen Bao will live for twenty years and will surely have children in the meantime, which is a good deal.

Besides, in this time of war and chaos, those people of the An clan, although they are all loyal to the abolition of Gu, that is, even if they counted on Gu's death, they will not change their will. However, most of these people are old, even if the world is peaceful, can not live another twenty years is a problem, not to mention now away from the royal family and the Gu family's shelter. They might have escaped Duanmu Xinmiao's pursuit here, only to be beaten to death on a whim by a few scoundrels in some corner!

So this deal for the abolitionist Gu doesn't really sound very reliable.

But Huo Shenyuan only deceased, Duanmu Xinmiao and the eldest sister and stepmother to get upset, this eye on the bone there is a thing to share a point of her heart is also good. In any case, the master of the dictatorship of the saint is now very dissatisfied with the saint, Duanmu family to add the Shenbao this one does not matter.

Duanmu Xinmiao said something about the half-sheet formula in her hand, Wei Changying didn't understand medical science, and listened to the cloud, thinking of digressing from the topic, but she heard Duanmu Xinmiao let out a sigh and said, "I almost forgot the main thing!"

Wei Changying said in surprise, "Business?" Aren't the things I said just now important?

I heard Duanmu Xinmiao say, "Shu Jing has reached the age of marriage, but I don't know if righteous mother and sister-in-law have any plans?"

Wei Changying was surprised, "You're interested in Jing'er? For whom? For King Cai?"

As expected, Duanmu Xinmiao sighed "It is to see with the Shen family friendship Wei family, Su family are not suitable for her person, only to open this mouth. If the Wei Dynasty is in its prime, even if Suier is not favored, with the title and the feudal state, I can go to the rightful mother to directly ask for it. But now this scene ...... you also know that my big sister these years are not much to see outsiders, but before the first emperor's big line, Shu Jing in front of the palace door to meet the righteous mother, was seen by her, really like, go back to the rare after the praise a few times. So even though I know there is little hope, I still want to ask Suier."

Wei Changying said, "It's not really easy to talk about this. You know that the eldest family has only one son and one daughter, and our elder brother, whom you haven't seen much, is a great spoiler of children, even more so than his sister-in-law. Jing'er has always been understanding and filial, there is almost no one in the family who doesn't like her, her marriage, not to say that she will pick a good talent in the sky and on the ground, but also to tell her to be happy and satisfied."

Speaking here, she lowered her voice and said, "After Ji Wang's accident, the second sister was aggrieved. My mother and father privately said that they regretted marrying the royal family. In favor of the fourth sister and Gu Yan betrothed, and now the Gu family because of Gu Xiaode's sake, by the new king and the scholar clan Qi beat gangs of sidelined, father for this depressed to now ...... Jing'er this ......"

Duanmu Xinmiao said, "Alas, I understand. In fact, although my eldest sister is extremely fond of Shu Jing, she also knows that Suier is not qualified to marry Shu Jing. It was only after I heard from someone close to her that I took advantage of today to come over and ask you about it. Since you said so, then I won't mention it."

Just at the right age, Shen Shujing is beautiful and dignified, with a modest, gentle and generous temperament, which can be called a model for girls of this generation after Song in the water. Therefore, even if now the national mourning only after, the situation is chaotic, but still be many people in the eyes, calculating to test the Shen family's mouth.

After Duanmu Xinmiao mentioned it privately for King Cai, two days later, Shen Shuguang was called by Shen Xuan to go to the front yard to inspect his schoolwork. The first son of Shen Shuguang was summoned by Shen Xuan to inspect the front yard. Without the pestering of his naughty eldest son, Wei Changying finished his business and saw that it was still early, so he took the opportunity to bring his second son, who was relatively well-behaved, to visit Pei Meiniang's mother and son at the Xiangning Mansion.

When they reached the courtyard, they realized that Mrs. Min was there.

After both sides greeted each other, Mrs. Min was about to leave, and before she left, she purposely gave Pei Meiniang a wink and said, "Don't you forget it."

Although she was in front of Wei Changying, Pei Meiniang didn't give her mother too much face, and said bluntly, "This matter is definitely not going to be accomplished, and if you ask me to ask, I'll probably just go and ask. In any case, sister-in-law has loathed me for more than a day or two, so it's no big deal to add some more nastiness to her."

Mrs. Min was embarrassed because she said that and snapped, "You child, what are you talking about! Your third sister-in-law is still here, tell her to laugh!"

She is aware of her daughter's stubbornness and has been spoiled by her family. She is aware of her daughter's stubbornness and is used to being spoiled by her family, so she often speaks with little discretion and is worried that staying behind will be even more difficult, so she perfunctorily said a few words and said hello to Wei Changying and hurriedly took her leave.

Wei Changying accompanied Pei Meiniang to escort her to the front of the mansion and then returned to the house, so he asked with a smile, "What was it that Mrs. Min was talking about? What did you say about inviting your sister-in-law to hate you?"

"What else could it be?" Pei Meiniang picked a washed grape from the plate and peeled it, dissected the seeds with a small silver knife, held it in a pad and fed it to Shen Shuxie, and while he was obediently eating it, she gently pinched him on his lotus root-like arm and laughed, "It would be good if Liu'er grows up a bit and is as sturdy as Xie'er."

Shen Shuliu was asleep at this time, so he was placed in the cradle next door. But Wei Changying had been there to see that his nephew, unlike his sister, was as strong as a normal full-term baby. Wei Changying laughed and said, "You make it sound as if Liu'er is worse than Xie'er, but I think Liu'er is in good shape! He'll be just like Guang'er and Xie'er he'll give you a headache when he's a week old."

"The house is only lively when children make a mess!" Pei Meiniang sighed, "Third sister-in-law, you were born in a blessed place and don't know it! I can't wait for Xi'er to be by my side now, even if she makes a mess every day, I'm willing to do it!"

Wei Changying pursed her lips and laughed, "Xi'er is a girl, how can you expect her to go up to the house? If she really makes such a fuss, when she reaches Jing's age, you'll be too late to cry! She's fine in Xiliang now, don't worry. Big sister is her own aunt, and she's treating her like the apple of her eye!"

Pei Meiniang clapped her hands and said, ''Oh, I forgot to say something just now. Third sister-in-law, didn't you ask me how I had to attract sister-in-law's dislike? It is Jing'er. My aunt married into the second house of the Deng family, and her eldest grandson, Deng Moxian, is about the same age as Jing'er, and isn't there another empress dowager in the Deng family? I'm not sure if you don't know that I offended my sister-in-law when I first got married, and although she couldn't ignore me for a few years, she's not been warm and fuzzy about it. Now I want to propose marriage to her daughter for my cousin's nephew, where would she care about me?"

After Shen Bo ascended to the throne, he named his late mother Zhou Baolin as the empress dowager, and although his nominal foster mother, Mrs. Zhen Yi, raised him for just a few days, she could not be disowned. Not only to seal Mrs. Zhen Yi as the empress dowager, but also to take her back to the imperial capital to personally support but Princess Anji, oh, now it is the eldest princess of Anji, on the pretext that Mrs. Zhen Yi heard that the late emperor's great line was deeply shocked, and was so sick that she could not get up the couch of the ground, and could not move at all, in the condolence era of its excuses away.

And Shen Bo to this foster mother's feelings are not very deep, is to think of its remote on the emblem Zhuang Su after the symbolic invitation a few times were refused, in the Anji Princess and his wife condolences, return to the fiefdom, let them to foster mother with a thick gift is also even if it is a filial piety.

In addition to this empress dowager, Deng Guifei's previous support for Shen Bo was rewarded. Although some ministers wrote to the court saying that you are neither the new king's birth mother nor his first mother, nor even his foster mother, so you should be honored as the consort, not qualified to become the empress dowager. However, Shen Bo still insisted that Deng Guifei in his own foster mother, Mrs. Zhen Yi long years of illness on their own care, and is the late emperor's second consort to the empress and so on, to honor her as the empress dowager.

However, because of the opposition of the ministers, the emblem was not put on.

However, the empress dowager with the emblem will not return to the capital in this life, and now the empress dowager Deng has become the head of the harem, and even more above Shen Bofa's wife, Empress Wei.

And Shen Bo insisted on honoring Deng as the empress dowager, not all for the sake of gratitude to Deng after all, Deng helped him back then also for their own sake in the beginning, Shen Bo is not stupid.

More than anything else, the reason had to do with Shen Bo's attempts to hold the reins of government himself. In this matter he tested the courtiers, at the same time is also hinting at the Deng family after all, no one to help, he in the court simply can not say. Even if Empress Dowager Deng is not that good at politics, how to say that the age is put there, and nowadays the honorable position and all rely on Shen Bo, many things, she is much more veteran than Shen Bo.

...... These and not to say, but even if Deng from the noble consort into the empress dowager, according to the situation of the world today, his nephew grandson wants to seek to marry the first eldest granddaughter of the Shen family, but also hope is slim.

So when Wei Changying heard this, he didn't say anything good or bad, but just laughed "Jing'er is getting big, and a family with a daughter is looking for a hundred! The time passes so quickly."
