Chapter 216 Concubine's Self-cultivation 7
Liu Qixia looked at Zhao Jinyu, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what's going on. I am getting weaker and weaker, and I feel dizzy and dizzy."
Zhao Jinyu frowned, "How did she get sick when she was fine? How did the maids take care of her?"
The maids around were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.
Zhao Jinyu touched Liu Qixia's face distressedly, "What did the court doctor say?"
Liu Qixia shook her head. "The court doctor couldn't find the cause either. He just prescribed some tonic medicine."
Zhao Jinyu pondered for a moment, then said, "How about this, I'll ask someone to ask the imperial doctors in the palace to come and see you. They are highly skilled and may be able to find the cause."
Liu Qixia nodded, with a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that the imperial physician could find the cause and cure this damn disease as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, after the imperial physician looked at the prescription given by the court physician, he gave the same advice, telling Liu Qixia to have a good rest and then left with his medicine box.
Liu Qixia takes medicine all day long, and Zhao Jinyu also takes medicine continuously. The two of them seem like a pair of star-crossed lovers.

Nan Xi had been in confinement for three months. She had actually recovered a long time ago, but she still listened to the nanny and rested for a hundred days before coming out of confinement. It was time to pay her respects to the princess.
Nan Xi had a ruddy complexion and wore a Xiangfei-colored brocade long skirt. Her long hair was tied up with a jade hairpin. She looked simple and elegant.
She walked briskly into Furong Courtyard, forming a sharp contrast with Liu Qixia lying on the sickbed.
Liu Qixia lay weakly on the bed, looking at the radiant Nan Xi, unable to figure out the reason. Why was Aunt Nan, who had taken medicine, so energetic, while she was sick?
She was filled with confusion and anger.
"Mrs. Nan seems to be in high spirits today. How come you are more energetic even though I am sick? What is your intention in dressing up like this to come to me?"
Nan Xi smiled slightly, like a lotus emerging from clear water, and her appearance was three times better than before.
"Princess, you are joking. I am naturally beautiful and I am still beautiful even without any makeup."
Liu Qixia snorted coldly. Her body was weak and her momentum was reduced by half.
"In that case, ahem...you should stay and take care of him."
"Yes."
Liu Qixia originally wanted to make Nan Xi suffer, by asking her to hold the spittoon, clean the toilet, etc., but every time she wanted to vomit, Nan Xi would press on her, and she didn't know what method she used, but she couldn't vomit anymore.
So angry!
Finally, Liu Qixia couldn't stand it anymore, "You...you should leave quickly, I don't need you to serve me here anymore."
Nan Xi stood up and said goodbye, "Princess, I will leave first. You should take good care of yourself and try to give birth to a big fat boy for the prince."
Liu Qixia was so angry that her face turned pale. She wanted to refute, but her weak body made it difficult for her to even speak.
Liu Qixia: "You...you..."
Liu Qixia closed her eyes, not wanting to look at Nan Xi anymore. There was a hint of weakness in her voice, and it took her a long time to utter a word.
"Go away...I don't want to...see you."
Nan Xi turned around and left Furong Courtyard. The princess was too pampered and really boring.
Nan Xi walked around the garden. She had been a concubine all her life, and a pill of anti-aging pill could solve all her problems.
The maids saw that Aunt Nan was more beautiful than before, and they all stopped to look at her. Everyone loves beauty, and they all had a better impression of Nan Xi.
Nan Xi mainly wanted to let the old lady see that she was still alive and well.
Now Nan Xi is just a concubine and does not have the right to pay respects to the old lady. However, this is exactly what she wants. Who would want to run to serve the old lady?
The old lady was indeed anxious. The biological mother of the two young masters of the palace was a concubine. It was very unpleasant to say this out. Under normal circumstances, the concubine would be promoted, not to mention that the prince was in poor health now.
But the old lady wanted to kill the mother and keep the son, so she kept the child from Nan Xisheng.
As time went by, she could no longer suppress it. Not to mention the usual interactions between the ladies, even the imperial palace would ask about this matter.
At the same time, Zhao Jinyu's embarrassing experience at the banquet made him lose face.
As soon as he returned to the palace, he went straight to Ankangyuan to find the old lady.
"Mother, I went out for a drink today and everyone was congratulating me on the birth of my son, but Aunt Nan is still a concubine, which makes me very embarrassed."
The old lady sighed, she knew her son's difficulties.
"Jinyu, Aunt Nan gave birth to two sons. They are meritorious officials of the palace. Logically, she should be promoted."
Zhao Jinyu looked at the old lady in surprise. If he should be promoted, why hasn't he made any progress yet? It made him lose face.
"Mother, please hurry up. People outside are gossiping. It would be bad if it affects the reputation of the palace."
The old lady looked at her son and sighed. Who was she working so hard for?
"understood."
The next morning, Nanny Li walked into Nan Xi's residence with a gentle smile. This Aunt Nan was about to rise to the top, so she had to flatter her.
"Aunt Nan, the old lady said that she wants to meet the two young masters and asks you to bring the child over."
Nan Xi nodded, "Okay, Madam Li, I'll get it ready right away."
Nan Xi walked into Zhao Moxuan's room and saw Zhao Moxuan sitting on the carpet, playing with a small wooden car attentively.
He has a round little face and big black eyes, and is very cute.
"Xuan'er, grandma wants to see you and your brother. Shall we go and pay our respects to grandma?"
Zhao Moxuan raised his head, smiled innocently, and nodded.
"Okay, I want to pay my respects to my grandmother."
Nan Xi helped Zhao Moxuan tidy up his clothes, held his little hand, and walked out.
"Yun Chu, go and bring the young master here."
Yun Chu carefully took the sleeping little master out of the cradle and tiptoed to Nan Xi's side.
Yun Chu: "Aunt, the young master is sleeping soundly."
Nan Xi looked at the little master in the cradle, his pink and tender face occasionally revealing a satisfied smile, and endless love surged in her heart.
"Let's be gentle and don't wake him up."
Nan Xi took Zhao Moxuan by the hand and arrived at Ankangyuan.
When the old lady saw Nan Xi coming with two children, the smile on her face became even wider.
Old lady: "Nanxi, come here and let me see my little great-grandson."
Nan Xi gently placed the young master on the soft couch beside her, and the old lady came over to take a closer look.
The young master seemed to feel the gaze of his elders. He opened his sleepy eyes and looked at the old lady curiously.
The old lady: "Oh, this child has bright eyes. He will be very smart in the future."
Zhao Moxuan also squeezed next to the old lady and pulled at the corner of her clothes.
Zhao Moxuan: "Grandma, Xuan'er is also smart."
The old lady was amused by Zhao Moxuan's words and she touched Zhao Moxuan's head.
"Okay, okay, my Xuan'er is also very smart, and he is the pride of our palace."
Nan Xi pulled Zhao Moxuan and asked him to salute. Zhao Moxuan immediately stood up straight and saluted obediently.
Zhao Moxuan: "Grandma, Xuan'er is here to pay his respects to you."
