Chen Afu came to the door of Zhuxuan, and the sedan chair also arrived. Princess Rui led a three or four-year-old boy out of the sedan chair. The little boy looks a lot like Prince Rui, but his face is pale and he doesn't have much energy. At first glance, he looks different from a healthy child.

Chen Afu stepped forward to greet him and blessed him, and said with a smile, "When a distinguished guest comes, it is difficult to welcome him from afar."

Princess Rui smiled and said, "I dare to disturb you so early in the morning and make Grandma Chu laugh." Then she lowered her head and said to the little boy, "Xuan'er, call Auntie quickly."

After hearing what Princess Rui said, Li Xuan raised his head and called Chen Afu, "Aunt, aunt."

He spoke very slowly, his eyes were clear, neither happy nor sad, as clear as a newborn baby.

Chen Afu knew that this child's intelligence had some problems, but it was much better than Chu Hanyan's before. King Rui and his wife showed their kindness to them, maybe because they saw that the legendary Chu Hanyan had become smarter, and they hoped that they could help the child, right?

Chu Lingxuan told Chen Afu more than once that he wanted to make good friends with Princess Rui. Although he didn't say it explicitly, Chen Afu guessed that the Chu family might also want something from King Rui or Princess Rui.

After dealing with Miss Chu for so long, Chen Afu naturally knows how to get along with such a child. And if such a young child becomes like this, he will most likely be a victim of palace fighting. Her heart was extremely soft, and she knelt down and placed a small horse jade pendant as big as her thumb in her palm. This was the meeting gift she was going to give to Li Xuan.

She smiled at Li Xuan and said, "Xuan'er, look at this pony..." She closed her hands and rubbed them twice, then spread her hands. The jade pendant on her hands was no longer there, and she said, "Hey, it's gone." ”

There was a slight change in Li Xuan's eyes, and he wondered, "Xiao Ma, go, go, where did you go?"

Chen Afu picked her up and said with a smile, "Let's go, Auntie will take you to find Xiaoma."

Princess Rui was still in a daze. This son wanted no one except her and the wet nurse, but now he was taken away by Chen Afu, whom he met for the first time. Perhaps the temple gate was found correctly this time.

They came to the east side room and asked Princess Rui to sit on the kang while the girl made tea.

Chen Afu also sat on the kang and sat with Li Xuan on his lap. He rubbed his hands again and spread them out. The pony pendant suddenly appeared in his palms. He smiled and said, "Ah, it's back again."

Li Xuan laughed out loud.

Chen Afu put the pony into his little hand and said, "Auntie, I will give this pony that knows how to hide cats to Xuan'er."

Li Xuan started playing with the pony.

Chen Afu asked the girl to take out the remaining egg tarts to serve the guests. Li Xuan was immediately attracted to the egg tarts again and ate two pieces in a row.

Seeing that Princess Rui seemed to have something to say, Chen Afu asked his servants to retreat.

Princess Rui finally explained the reason, "I'm not afraid of your laughter. This is a scandal in our palace..."

King Rui has many women, but he has few heirs. I am twenty-seven years old this year, and I have only two sons and no daughter. The eldest son is Li Chao, born to Jiang's concubine, who is already eleven years old. The second son is Li Xuan, who is four years old this year.

When Li Xuan was two years old, the seventh prince had not yet been crowned Prince Rui and they were still living in the palace. Li Xuan suddenly became stupid one night.

After investigation, it was found that he was frightened by a young eunuch who was pretending to be a ghost, or that it was the concubine Jiang who was behind the scenes. Because the seventh prince's concubine had never been pregnant before, the imperial doctor also said that the seventh prince favored women too early and too often, which damaged his roots and made it difficult for him to have a child. Concubine Jiang felt that her son would definitely be the only son of the seventh prince and inherit everything from him in the future. But who knew that when Li Chao was seven years old, the seventh prince's concubine actually gave birth to another son.

Concubine Jiang was afraid that her son's position would be robbed, so she bribed the young eunuch.

After the investigation was clear, the seventh prince was furious and ordered the death of Jiang's concubine. But he was also afraid that if Li Xuan's illness could not be cured, Li Chao would be his only normal child, and his title would still be passed on to him in the future. He was afraid of revenge from the Seventh Princess, so he sent Li Chao to his mother, Concubine Zhou De, where he is still...

After many treatments, Li Xuan is much better, but compared to normal children, he is still a bit stupider and thinner. If the child continues to be like this, he will definitely not be able to inherit the title of King Rui.

Of course, Princess Rui was not willing to take advantage of Concubine Jiang's son, so she kept looking for various ways to treat the child, but with little success.

She wiped her tears and said, "I heard from my father that you are very good at raising children. Even the eldest sister of the Chu family is so crazy... Oh, you have recovered from such a serious illness. My Xuan'er..." She gritted her teeth. Then he said, "Just take Grandma Chu to your house. You can take Xuan'er as long as you take the eldest sister of the Chu family. Please." Then, he looked at Chen Afu expectantly.

Chen Afu was a little embarrassed, how dare she take this child to Tangyuan. Not to mention that he is Princess Rui's precious egg, there is a big treasure there that she can't wait to hide in the cellar. She thought about it and realized that this child was not congenitally mentally retarded. He was in much better condition than Miss Chu at that time. If the child was properly corrected with medication and corrective measures, he should be able to be cured.

She whispered, "I got a secret recipe. I heard that green-leaf agarwood is helpful for this disease. At that time, by chance, I got one and gave it to Yan'er. I couldn't bear to light it at first, and took it bit by bit. Come out and let her smell it, and then light it when there is no smell. Use sparingly, one stick of incense lasted more than two months. Of course, you still have to continue taking the doctor's medicine..."

She wasn't lying. Green-leaf agarwood contained leaves of the agarwood tree. It was the scent of the leaves every night, coupled with her own correct guidance, that made Miss Chu come out of her own world.

She also talked about how to get into the inner world of children, how to make friends with children, etc. But she did not dare to give the green leaf agarwood to Princess Rui again, nor did she dare to say that she was familiar with Master Wu Zhi.

Princess Rui cried with joy after hearing this, and said full of hope, "I know that the emperor and the queen mother have green-leaf agarwood in their hands. I asked my prince to ask for one."

Chen Afu added, "I heard that the Queen Mother gave one to my third aunt. I will ask her. If she hasn't used it yet, I will shamelessly ask her for it."

Mrs. Chu San first gave the green-leaf agarwood stick given to her by Chen Afu to the Queen Mother as a filial piety. Later, Master Wu Zhi gave a few to the emperor, and the emperor honored the Queen Mother with three more, and the Queen Mother returned the previous one to the third lady.

Let's get the third lady's piece over as a favor first, and then she can give the third lady Chu's piece later.

Princess Rui was even more grateful to Chen Afu. She held her hand and said, "Thank you, Grandma Chu. If my Xuan'er's illness can be completely cured, I will let him accept you as his adoptive mother. No, I will accept you today, and I will Taking him to your house to play is also a visit to a relative."

Chen Afu quickly refused and said, "Thank you, Princess, for looking up to me. The second young master is of royal blood, how dare I trust such a great person."

Just kidding, how could it be that both uncle and nephew recognized her as their adoptive mother?
