Chapter 36: Please
If there is the slightest movement in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it will not escape the eyes of these people in the Mansion.
When Sang Xiaoxi learned this, he still sat in front of the bookcase and studied the medical book in his hand, unmoved. After a while, Liu Mei walked in with lotus steps, and saw her daughter sitting there motionless like a mountain, with only a medical book in her eyes, and sighed helplessly.
She stepped forward and said, "Xiaoxi, why are you in the house all day, either reading medical books or reading other things." You're just a woman, isn't it possible that the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion will be a girl in the future?"
Sang Xiaoxi didn't like to listen to her mother's words, especially when she heard her mother take her ridiculous identity as pride.
She put down the medical book with a frown and looked up at her.
"Mother, I have my own plans, so you don't care about me. ”
"What are you talking about? I don't care about you, who do you want to control you? I'm just a daughter like you, of course I have to keep an eye on you and remind you what to do and what not to do. ”
"Right and wrong, I know in my heart, I'm not a three-year-old anymore. ”
"It's because you're so thoughtful that I have to be extra careful. If you take the wrong step, your life will be ruined. She said and took away the medical book from Sang Xiaoxi's hand.
"These are secondary, and the most important thing for you should be to make your father happy. Your life is in your father's hands. Mother also hopes that you can live well in the future, do you understand?"
Sang Xiaoxi looked at her mother helplessly, how could she entrust her life to someone else?
"Mother, my life should be in my own hands, in my father's eyes, I am just a concubine, how can he value me? ”
Her thoughts are different from Liu Mei's!
My mother always felt that if she wanted to change her fate, she only had to marry someone. But she feels that women don't have to marry to change their fate. Even if she can really become Princess Chen, if she doesn't have some skills and can't serve the public, she will have to live trembling in the future.
She believes that what King Chen needs is not a princess to do decorations. Sang Xiaoxi wants to be his right and left hand, and can help him at critical times.
If you learn medical skills well, you may be of great use in the future. Looking at the Art of War, that's because she wants to have more common topics with King Chen. She just wants to be the different person in King Chen's eyes! These thoughts don't need to be understood by her mother.
"Rely on yourself? Don't you marry for the rest of your life? As long as you marry, you still have to rely on your husband. The only one who can decide who you marry is your father. ”
Liu Mei handed the ginseng soup she had prepared to Sang Xiaoxi: "This is what I prepared for you! Your father has been in a bad mood these days because of the eldest lady's affairs, so you sent this bowl of ginseng soup over to please him and make him happy." ”
Sang Xiaoxi looked at this bowl of ginseng soup and smiled.
"Mother, do you think that such a bowl of ginseng soup can change my status in the mansion? You can't help but think too simply! My identity as a concubine cannot be solved by ginseng soup. ”
"At the very least, let your father see you better. Your father is angry about the eldest lady's affairs, and you are a smart boy who should understand what I mean. ”
Sang Xiaoxi looked at Liu Mei: "Mother, haven't you always said that you are at ease with the status quo and don't want to fight for anything?"
"Of course I won't fight for anything for myself, but I am a daughter like you, of course, I hope you can be happy in the future, and don't be like me, always inferior. ”
She never thought of fighting for her status and maintaining her favor in the house, all because she didn't want her daughter to be left out in the cold. A concubine can survive in the house and make life a little better, only by looking at the face of the husband.
The husband has one more smile or a sigh today, and he can decide whether the dinner of their mother and daughter will be meat or vegetables.
"If you listen to me, you won't be wrong. Your father likes a well-behaved and obedient child, and at this time, you should care more about him. It would be good for me to go with you and talk to him and let him sort it out. ”
Liu Mei said, pulling Sang Xiaoxi to Sang Chengyuan's study.
Sang Xiaoxi was reluctant, and she didn't want to refute her mother's face, so she had to go with her.
When she came to the door of the study, Liu Mei specially asked Sang Xiaoxi to put on a good-looking smile.
"Remember what I said, do you hear me?"
Sang Xiaoxi nodded, stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Father!"
"Come in!"
The door opened, and Sang Chengyuan was handling official business in front of the bookcase. Seeing that it was their mother and daughter, their expressions softened.
"Why did you two come here together?"
"Master, Xiaoxi knows that you have been a little sad recently, and you are worried about your body, so I personally stewed ginseng soup and brought it over to replenish your body. You taste it hot and see how it tastes?"
"Is it medicinal food?" Sang Chengyuan heard this, and there was a slight smile between his eyebrows. Of the two daughters, one is finally sensible. The eldest daughter somehow has changed her temperament since she was injured, and now, she will only make him angry.
Thinking of this, Sang Chengyuan had a headache.
"I put a few mild herbs in it, and my father drank it just right. If the father feels comfortable drinking it, the daughter will bring it to you every day in the future. ”
"You mother and daughter, you have a heart. Let's try it!" It just so happened that he also wanted to take a break.
The gentleness of the concubine happened to be Sang Chengyuan's medicine to relieve fatigue.
The taste of ginseng soup is what Sang Chengyuan likes, he tasted it, praised it, and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's obviously a sister, but it's more sensible. If Qingrou could be like you and think more about me, I wouldn't be so upset. ”
Sang Xiaoxi smiled faintly: "Eldest sister, she probably has her own thoughts. ”
"It wasn't like this before, but after this injury, the whole person is different. When I think about her, I have a headache. Hello guys, at least let me worry a little. Xiaoxi, if you listen to your father, you will definitely think about you in the future, and he will definitely not treat you badly. ”
"I am my father's daughter, and I think about my father, this is a matter of duty, and I dare not make my father angry. ”
"That's good! ”
"Then tomorrow, I will ask Xiaoxi to prepare it for you with a different taste, and adjust your body well, and you won't feel too tired. Liu Mei said, taking the initiative to step forward to help Sang Chengyuan knead his shoulders.
Sang Chengyuan leaned on the Taishi's chair, enjoying the dedicated service of the mother and daughter.
At this moment, Jin Yuyan also came over with dessert. When they saw that their mother and daughter were here, a cold light flashed in those shrewd eyes, and they quickly disappeared.
She walked in with a smile and asked, "It seems that my sister and I have a good heart, and we both thought of sending something to my master." I didn't bother you!"
