Chapter 169 Effort

The two tossed for half the night before they fell asleep exhausted.

At dawn the next day, Cheng Ke opened his eyes, looked down at Li Xiaonuan who was sleeping in his arms, and sighed with satisfaction, the things in this bed were so wonderful

Cheng Ke supported his head with one hand, slowly combed Li Xiaonuan's hair with the other, and after half an hour, he reluctantly sat up, lightly crossed Li Xiaonuan, and got out of bed.

Zhu Ye took the little girl to wait for Cheng Ke to wash up, changed into a silver and white silk robe, Cheng Ke sat on the couch in the west wing, ate slowly, and called Zhu Ye over and ordered:

"Young lady...... Tired, let her take a good rest, no one can disturb her, go and call Mama Lin over. ”

Zhuye respectfully agreed, and withdrew to call someone.

After a while, the bamboo leaves led Mama Lin to the door of the main house, Cheng Ke had already left the house, standing under the eaves corridor with his hands behind his back, looking at Mama Lin and commanding:

"You go and report to the princess, just say what I said, the young lady caught a cold last night, a little uncomfortable, take a day off, report to the princess, you go to the hospital again, ask the imperial doctor Huang to come over, and check the pulse of the young lady."

Mama Lin respectfully agreed, and Cheng Ke turned his head to look at the bamboo leaves and ordered:

"Good life waiting."

After speaking, he turned around and strode out of the courtyard, out of the palace, and went to the household department.

When Li Xiaonuan opened his eyes, it was already three strokes in the sun, and the cicada wings heard the movement, lifted the curtain, and saw Li Xiaonuan hurriedly get up with a panicked face, and reported with a smile:

"Young lady, don't worry, it's the master who ordered you not to wake you up, the master has already asked people to go to the princess to tell you about your illness, and also asked people to invite the imperial doctor to come over, just now the princess sent the spring grass girl over to see it, and ordered you to have a good rest."

Li Xiaonuan was stunned, breathed a sigh of relief, Zhu Ye came over with his clothes, bent his knees, and said with a smile on his face:

"The master said, the young lady is tired, let us wait, the imperial doctor has also come, grandma Sun was afraid of disturbing you, so she didn't dare to let the imperial doctor come in to diagnose the pulse, but only told the imperial doctor in detail what was wrong with the young lady, and let the imperial doctor leave the prescription, and he has been sent away."

Li Xiaonuan's face turned red, he actually said that she was tired Li Xiaonuan fell back on the bed, pulled the quilt over her head, waved her hand and said:

"Let me sleep a little longer."

Cicada Wing turned his head to look at Bamboo Leaf, Bamboo Leaf smiled and motioned Cicada Wing to lower the curtain, and the two walked out of the house lightly.

Li Xiaonuan slept until late afternoon, then got up, bathed and washed again, changed into a plain white silk shirt, a silk yarn pleated skirt embroidered with folded branches and flowers on a goose yellow background, and after eating, people put a chair under the main eaves porch, and sat on the chair to read a book.

Cheng Ke didn't return to Qinglian Courtyard until the twilight was thick, Li Xiaonuan took out the main house, Cheng Ke paused, looked down at Li Xiaonuan carefully, stretched out his hand to grab her, and asked in a low voice:

"Have you rested?"

Li Xiaonuan's face was flushed, she turned her head, and she didn't answer, Cheng Ke laughed and carried her into the house.

The two ate, Cheng Ke looked at Li Xiaonuan, and said with a smile:

"In more than half a month, it will be the Double Ninth Festival, and you will have to follow the palace to congratulate this year, my aunt said, I wanted to call you in these days to talk, first, to prepare for the Double Ninth Festival in the palace, she is also busy, and second, you have just returned home, and you are not in a hurry."

Cheng Ke paused, reached out and took Li Xiaonuan's hand, gently pinched her fingers, and continued:

"I'm ready for the Chung Yeung Festival, that is...... My aunt likes the needlework of Lianjia the most, and if you are not tired, you can embroider something at will and send it to her, and she will be happy. ”

Li Xiaonuan nodded hurriedly and said with a smile:

"It's easy, I don't know what my aunt likes? Bird? Landscape? ”

Cheng Ke was stunned, thought for a while, spread his hands and said:

"I really haven't noticed this, but my aunt is the best at dividing tea, and the emperor said that my aunt's tea dividing skills are only slightly worse than that of the idealistic master."

Li Xiaonuan looked at Cheng Ke in surprise,

"Your Majesty? And the masters? ”

"Hmm,"

Cheng Ke squeaked and dodged, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly smiled and changed the topic,

"Then I'll embroider a small mountain and a small moon to give to my aunt, it's time to tighten it, I can't embroider a large size, I can only embroider a small interstitial."

"The little interlude is good for me to say, even if it is embroidered with a handkerchief."

Li Xiaonuan laughed, shook his head slightly, and sighed lowly,

"You think I'm you"

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing, it's just a small embroidery screen, and the time is tight, so I'll let people take the needle and thread, and use the silk yarn as the base, embroider it transparently, and the artistic conception is better, so I have to start embroidering tonight."

Li Xiaonuan turned his head to look at Cheng Ke, said with a smile, raised his voice and called Zhuye to come in, and ordered him to go down.

Cheng Ke hesitated, stretched out his hand to grab Li Xiaonuan, and said in a low voice:

"Don't be too tired, or don't embroider."

Li Xiaonuan turned his head, looked at Cheng Ke with a smile and a smile, and did not answer.

The next day was the fifteenth, Li Xiaonuan got up early, the jade button gave her hair, inserted a jasper flower rich hairpin, took a big red shirt, and changed an indigo silk yarn eight skirts, Li Xiaonuan looked at the bronze mirror, looked carefully, and then came out of the clean room, Cheng Ke had already sat on the couch in the wing room, waiting for Li Xiaonuan to have breakfast.

Seeing Li Xiaonuan coming in, Cheng Ke looked her up and down, frowning slightly,

"It's good-looking, but it's too old-fashioned."

Li Xiaonuan looked down at her skirt and said with a smile:

"I'm going to say hello to my grandmother later, I think about the old man, I always like to see people dressed more solemnly, so I deliberately chose this skirt."

Cheng Ke snorted in a low voice, looked at Li Xiaonuan, and said sullenly:

"If you are born too well, she will not like it, and you should not pay much attention to it."

Cheng Ke paused, and then said:

"She rarely sees people, it's me, I can't see her a few times a year, you go to say goodbye, but kowtow in the yard and come back, and in the future, don't care if she likes it or not."

Li Xiaonuan looked at Cheng Ke with surprise on his face, saw him pick up the chopsticks, lowered his eyes, followed the chopsticks, and slowly ate breakfast.

Li Xiaonuan took the car, rushed to the main courtyard, waited for the princess to get into the car, and hurried to Ruizi Hall in the depths of the back garden.

As Cheng Ke said, Li Xiaonuan accompanied the princess and kowtowed in the courtyard of Ruizitang, and was sent out by her mother-in-law.

Li Xiaonuan waited for the princess to return to the main courtyard, Xu greeted her, and Li Xiaonuan waited for the princess to change her clothes, served tea, Xu stood in front of the couch with her hands down, and the princess motioned Li Xiaonuan to sit on the edge of the couch and asked carefully about returning to the door the day before yesterday.

Li Xiaonuan accompanied her with great interest, talking about the Gu family, Mrs. Zhou, Gu Yunhuan, Gu Xiao and the bride Yan, the two of them gossiped all the way, and the princess's eyebrows and eyes were stretched with pleasure, and she said to Li Xiaonuan, the farther and farther, until she reached the back garden of the Hou Mansion in Zhenning.

Li Xiaonuan listened carefully, was surprised, and smiled, Xu stole at Li Xiaonuan, and slowly thought about it in his heart.

Li Xiaonuan whispered with the princess about Cheng Ke's plan to decorate the first two courtyards of Qinglian Courtyard into a study, and asked the princess for ideas, how to arrange this study, how to furnish it?

The princess was full of interest, ordered someone to take the drawings of Qinglian Courtyard, spread them on the couch, and discussed carefully with Li Xiaonuan, how to arrange this place, Xiao Ke is the most satisfied, what to put in that place, Xiao Ke will like it......

In the morning, it passed in the blink of an eye, and the princess ate happily and hurriedly.

"You go back quickly, head into the yard, according to what we discussed, let people arrange it first, don't have to come over at night to say goodbye, Xiao Ke has now received a messenger, but it's hard, let the kitchen wait more attentively, what's the matter, just come and discuss with me, go back quickly, go back to eat, and take time to rest, you are still young, you don't know about this maintenance, you can't take it lightly, okay, go back quickly."

Li Xiaonuan smiled and bent her knees to retreat, went out of the courtyard gate, and went back in a sedan chair.

The princess watched Li Xiaonuan go out, sighed with satisfaction, turned her head to look at Xu and Mama Qiu, and said with a smile:

"I originally said that Ke's daughter-in-law was too young, but I was afraid that I would not be sensible, but I didn't expect that she was a very sensible person who was willing to work hard, you see, this child, now how much he knows how to be attentive"

Xu Shi was busy with a smile on his face and flattered:

"But no, the prince's affairs, everything is taken to heart, but he is more careful than the princess."

Mama Qiu glanced at Xu's and took over with a smile,

"There is a princess ****, how can there be a bad one? The young lady is so attentive, and the princess can worry less."

Mama Qiu paused, and without waiting for Xu Shi to answer, she hurriedly continued:

"It's ......"

Mama Qiu looked at the princess hesitantly, as if she was a little embarrassed, and said:

"In Qinglian Courtyard, except for the young lady who married the girl, the rest are all newly selected, and they have never waited for the prince in the past, and the young lady has to worry about everything inside and outside here, the young lady is weak and weak, and the old slave really feels sorry for the young lady."

Xu Shi turned his head to look at Mama Qiu, pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and did not answer again, the princess wrinkled her brows and sighed softly,

"You say it's right, Xiao Ke hasn't used a half-girl in the past two years, where can you pick this person who can be used immediately? Alas, this kid is just awkward."

"Why did the princess forget, Miss Lirui is still living in the Red Pavilion?"

Mama Qiu reminded with a smile,

"Miss Lirui has been waiting for the prince for the longest time, and even the prince has said that it is better to wait for Miss Lirui than to give Miss Lirui to the young lady, but it is an excellent helper."

Xu looked at the princess who nodded cautiously, and said with a smile:

"I remember that Miss Lirui is the same year as the prince, and she is twenty-one this year, right?"

The princess frowned slightly, thought about it, turned her head to look at the two, and sighed,

"Lirui is a really good, waiting for Xiao Ke for so many years, doing her best, in previous years, Xiao Ke has not been married, some things, I have to drag it out, now, let her go to Qinglian Courtyard, wait for Xiao Ke and Ke's daughter-in-law, tomorrow I will tell Ke's daughter-in-law, just give her a name."
