Chapter 314: Cooking Tea

"If only you weren't worried." The corners of Rong Chenghan's mouth turned upward/up, "If you're worried, it's not like I can't ......"

Liu Ruoxi stretched out her fingers and gently pressed Rong Chenghan's lips, signaling him not to continue.

"Ahan, I know what you want. We don't need to worry about this matter. You're busy enough these days, so you should take a break. Liu Ruoxi said to Rong Chenghan.

The old prince's health is not yet complete, but he can't be idle at all, and he loves to worry the most. Although it is a worry, after all, there are still injuries in the body, and some things cannot be done in person. Rong Chenghan is not only busy with his own business these days, but also has to help the old prince do a lot of things. Although Rong Chenghan never said that he was tired in front of Liu Ruoxi, Liu Ruoxi could still see it. Rong Chenghan spent less time with him, and more time was busy outside, and sometimes the two were eating, and someone came to deliver a letter to call Rong Chenghan away.

Rong Chenghan also knew that he had been with Liu Ruoxi less recently, and he was very sorry in his heart.

"I've been spending less time at home lately, so I've worked hard for you. After a while, I will definitely stay with you. There have been a lot of things in the yamen recently, and there are many things that my father can't ignore. The father is in a hurry, and if he doesn't see things done, where can he be stable. ”

"I don't blame you." Liu Ruoxi said, "In short, your body is important." I don't want you to be like your father. "In his early years, the old prince was devoted to official affairs, and he was completely negligent and neglectful of his wife, children, and family affairs. Later, the former princess passed away, and Rong Chengyi had an accident again, and the old prince suddenly woke up and took some energy to deal with family affairs and pay attention to his family. Even so, the old prince's temper has not fundamentally changed. In addition to being very concerned about Rong Chengyi, the old prince is still very negligent in other people and other things.

"No, it won't." Rong Chenghan said busily.

"It's hard to say." Liu Ruoxi smiled, "But I will never be like a mother." I'm not one of those virtuous people, if you snubbed me. I'm going to make trouble. ”

"What are you going to do?" Rong Chenghan heard Liu Ruoxi say this, so he asked deliberately.

"I can make as much trouble as I can, even if it comes to the emperor, I'm not afraid." Liu Ruoxi deliberately said with a straight face.

"I won't, Auntie." Although Liu Ruoxi was joking, Rong Chenghan's answer was quite solemn.

Liu Ruoxi glanced at Rong Chenghan with a little surprise. Rong Chenghan's eyes were dark and heavy, and there seemed to be some kind of strong emotion surging in them. Obviously, Liu Ruoxi's words reminded him of something else.

"I know." Seeing Rong Chenghan like this, Liu Ruoxi stopped joking. She softened her tone a little more. "They say that you are most similar to your father. In my opinion, Ahan, your temperament is still very different from that of your father. ”

"Ahan, you are wiser than your father. At your age, my father is certainly not as capable as you are now. …… I believe. Ahan, you will be more successful than your father in the future. ”

Liu Ruoxi's big eyes flickered, looking at Rong Chenghan's eyes gentle, and full of appreciation and admiration. Rong Chenghan looked at Liu Ruoxi's expression at the moment, and listened to Liu Ruoxi's words again, and the little depression in his heart instantly disappeared.

"Auntie, you're flattering too much." The corners of Rong Chenghan's mouth are up/up, and his eyes are full of smiles. Although he said so, his demeanor was clearly very useful, and he was a little proud. What man is looked at by his own woman with such adoring gaze. When you hear so many praises, you can't help but be happy and proud.

"Whoever flatters you, I am telling the truth." Liu Ruoxi said angrily.

"Nothing else, I'll try to be a ...... More competent father. Rong Chenghan gently stroked Liu Ruoxi's lower abdomen. Speech is extremely low but incomparably clear.

Liu Ruoxi immediately heard the meaning from Rong Chenghan's words. More competent, how can you say more without comparison. In the matter of being a father, who will Rong Chenghan compare with? This answer is not so difficult to guess, naturally it is the old prince.

Rong Chenghan never said that the old prince was not. But since Liu Ruoxi knew about the old things in the palace, she often felt unjust for Rong Chenghan in her heart. Regardless of whether the old prince is a competent father to Rong Chenghan's other brothers, here in Rong Chenghan. Liu Ruoxi thinks that the old prince is biased in doing many things.

The old prince is definitely a competent and loyal minister of the court, but he is not a competent father. Not only for Rong Chenghan, but also for Rong Chengxiang. Rong Chengxiang is contaminated with the habit of being a gentleman, which is not unrelated to the negligence of the old prince. There is also Rong Chengyi, although the old prince is now meticulous to Rong Chengyi, but at the beginning. At the beginning, the old prince was also very negligent with Rong Chengyi.

Rong Chenghan said that he wanted to be a more competent father than the old prince, and Liu Ruoxi believed it in her heart. Just like after the two got married, Rong Chenghan treated her with tolerance, love and care. Although Rong Chenghan is busy with official business, he has never snubbed her.

Rong Chenghan is a good minister of the imperial court, but at the same time, he is also a considerate and good husband for her.

"Han, I believe in you."

Rong Chenghan saw the old prince very clearly, and decided not to make the mistakes that the old prince had made. The old prince is extremely wise in official affairs, but not in family affairs. Rong Chenghan knew that he had to pay special attention to family affairs, and first he decided to marry a woman who was completely different from the Su family. Fate made him see Liu Ruoxi on the first day he returned to Beijing.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was October, and the wind blew the leaves like colorful butterflies flying all over the sky. The morning and evening winds have brought a little chill, but the sun is just right during the day, and the sun is indeed warm and refreshing.

A doctor came to check Liu Ruoxi's pulse, and left a message, saying that it was good for her and the child in her belly to take advantage of this season to go out for a walk and bask in the sun.

For the imperial doctor, Liu Ruoxi is convinced, so as long as the weather is good, she will take people to the middle of the clouds or go to the back garden of the palace to walk around.

On this day, Liu Ruoxi walked in the back garden again, because she was a little tired of walking, so she let people spread a brocade mattress in the pavilion next to her, sit in the pavilion and take a nap, while watching the cranes in the lake relieve boredom.

In June, a small red clay stove was lit next to it, and boiling water was now boiled to make tea for Liu Ruoxi. Mama Chang and Layue were busy putting a few small snacks and fresh fruits in front of Liu Ruoxi.

"Madame, I'm going to eat something, Madame herself is not hungry, I'm afraid I'm hungry." Mama Chang also smiled and said to Liu Ruoxi.

When Mama Chang said this, Liu Ruoxi really felt a little hungry, so she twisted a piece of pine nut cake and ate it slowly.

"I'm a little tired of eating them. Those cocoon gods that my mother just sent. Mama remembered to make some Poria cakes later. Hou Ye also loves to eat. Liu Ruoxi said to Mama Chang.

"The old slave wrote it down." Mama Chang nodded hurriedly, "I'll prepare when I go back." ”

As he spoke, he heard footsteps and laughter on the path around the corner, and after a while, he saw a group of girls and women turning out of the path.

Liu Ruoxi saw Su Qingnuan first. She was not surprised to see Su Qingnuan and Liu Ruoxi, she walked in the garden, and eight or nine times out of ten, she could meet Su Qingnuan by chance. Besides, the laughter just now was made by Su Qingnuan, and Liu Ruoxi had already heard it.

What surprised Liu Ruoxi a little was the person next to Su Qingnuan.

The princess actually walked out of Rongyuan Hall and also came to this garden. Not only did the princess herself come. She also brought Rongjin. Rong Jin was held by a nurse, and walked behind Su Qingnuan and the princess.

"Please invite the princess and Miss Su Qi to come and sit down." Liu Ruoxi thought about it, and then instructed the little girl who served.

The little girl walked out of the pavilion and saluted when she arrived at the princess and Su Qingnuan. The princess and Su Qingnuan also saw Liu Ruonan in the pavilion, and Liu Ruonuan saw that Su Qingnuan seemed to say something to the princess, and a group of people came over in clusters.

When the princess and Su Qingnuan entered the pavilion, Liu Ruoxi asked June to help her stand up.

"Forgive me for being heavy and not being polite."

"Be careful." The princess held the little girl's shoulders and turned her eyes on Liu Ruoxi's stomach a few times. There is no emotion in the words. "According to me, you should stay in the house more at this time, and you shouldn't have come out so far. What the words of the imperial doctor, there is something to hear. There are also unhearable. ”

As she spoke, the princess let the little girl sit opposite her.

The princess has this temper, and Liu Ruoxi is not strange now, so she doesn't care.

Su Qingnuan smiled and said politely to Liu Ruoxi. At the same time, he hugged Rongjin from the nurse's arms and sat next to the princess.

The princess didn't speak, but glanced at the nurse. The nurse's face changed. I was busy coming over to take Rongjin back. Su Qingnuan didn't seem to notice the look in the princess's eyes just now, and she didn't return Rong Jin to the nurse, but she took advantage of the situation to send Rong Jin to the princess's arms.

"You want to be hugged by your mother, don't you?" Su Qingnuan said with a smile, as if her actions were meant by Rong Jin.

The princess took Rong Jin, Rong Jin was not tall and thin, but the princess's body was even weaker, and she didn't seem to be able to hold Rong Jin at all.

"You hold her and sit here." The princess commanded the nurse.

The nurse hurried over, stretched out her hand to hug Rong Jin, and sat on the embroidery pier on the side.

Although it is not yet winter, Rong Jin is the same as the princess, he has already worn Xiao Mao's thick clothes under his coat, and his body is tightly wrapped up and down, revealing only a pale smiling face. Both small hands are hidden in their sleeves. He was a little child who was carried around like this, but he never said anything, but when he was in the arms of the princess, he snorted like a little milk cat.

But after all, he is still a child, and he is always curious. When the nurse sat down, Rong Jin'er sat in the nurse's arms, and looked at Liu Ruoxi with a pair of eyes.

Liu Ruoxi noticed Rong Jin's gaze, so she also looked back, and smiled slightly. Rong Jin immediately turned his face away. Liu Ruoxi shook her head secretly, and after only a while, Rong Jin turned her head again and looked at Liu Ruoxi secretly.

He is familiar with these people, his mother, the nurse, and the seventh aunt, but Liu Ruoxi is a little strange to him.

"Would you like some hot tea? Send someone to the kitchen and ask them to bring some snacks? Liu Ruoxi said to the princess. She didn't let the girl who served her serve tea to the princess, and even when she saw Rong Jin's eyes fall on the table in front of her, she didn't offer to share some snacks.

The princess has never eaten food from her own kitchen, and she never lets Rong Jin eat outside. Liu Ruoxi knew about this taboo for a long time, and she would never commit it.

"No need." The princess's tone was still stiff, "I'll just sit down and go back." It wasn't for the seventh sister who repeatedly persuaded me, and I refused to come out. There's a cool breeze here. ”

The princess said that there was a cool breeze here, and when she was busy, the girl came to place the screen, and a close-fitting girl sent a large and a small cloak over.

"But I want to disturb the third sister-in-law to drink a cup of tea." Su Qingnuan said with a smile.

"Seventh sister is too polite." Liu Ruoxi asked June to bring a cup of hot tea and send it over.

"It's better to have tea from the third sister-in-law." Su Qingnuan took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"It's just ordinary tea, and it was rewarded by the palace last month, and each courtyard shared a share. The seventh sister should also have a share. Liu Ruoxi said.

"Yes. But I can't cook it. The third sister-in-law is an elegant person and knows how to cook tea, and we are too vulgar. Su Qingnuan said with a smile.

"The seventh sister is too good at making fun of people. Speaking of talent and elegance, who can compare to the seventh sister in this capital. Liu Ruoxi said.

"My third sister-in-law and I praised each other like this, and the big sister was going to laugh." Su Qingnuan was exquisite, and when she saw that the princess had not spoken, she said to the princess with a smile.

Liu Ruoxi took a look at the sun, she knew the temperament of the princess, and she didn't care about these at all. Don't look at the princess, the person is sitting opposite at the moment. Who knows where her spirit has gone at the moment, what she is thinking.

"What am I laughing at?" The princess withdrew her gaze from the lake, "The third lady is from the Liu family, and she can't be compared with other families. ”

"The princess has won an award, I can't afford it." Liu Ruoxi said with a smile.

The princess glanced at Liu Ruoxi and stopped talking.

"Nowadays, the ladies in the capital are not very particular about cooking tea, I have heard people say, a few years ago, the capital was the most enthusiastic. It is said that at that time, the female relatives of each family also held a tea party. also evaluated the champions, the list of eyes, and the flowers. It's a pity that I'm young, so I didn't catch up with such a grand event. Su Qingnuan's eyes rolled slightly, and then smiled, "This matter." Others may not know, but Liu Hanlin and his wife must know. It seems to be what they were doing back then. The third sister-in-law has never heard of it? ”

"I don't remember much." Liu Ruoxi's heart moved, and she said lightly.

Seeing that Liu Ruoxi refused to say more, Su Qingnuan was slightly disappointed.

"Let's go back." The princess said suddenly.

"Big sister won't sit for a while?" Su Qingnuan asked. On the other hand, he had already stood up, and he was going to help the princess.

"Let someone carry a sedan chair over." The princess said to the people who served next to her. It was tired and did not plan to walk back on its own. Instead, I want to make a sedan chair and go back. Liu Ruoxi couldn't help but sigh secretly, even if she survived the critical illness, even if she had good medical treatment, the princess's body was really worrying.

The sedan chair had not yet arrived, but a daughter-in-law from the palace led a little girl over quickly. Look at the little girl's dress, she is not from the palace. Sure enough, I saw that the little girl was brought to Su Qingnuan.

"Seventh girl, Madame sent a maid to bring a letter to the girl, and asked the girl to go back when she was free." The little girl saluted Su Qingnuan and reported on the side.

"What's going on at home?" Su Qingnuan asked. Su Qingnuan seems to have regarded the palace as her own home, and if she wants her to go back to her real home, something must happen.

“…… Guests came to the house. ”

"What kind of guest?"

"And didn't say it in detail. The maid listened beside her, and it seemed that she was saying that the aunt and grandmother who married Jing Anzhou in Dongfu came back. The little girl's voice was crisp and authentic.

"Huh?" Su Qingnuan frowned slightly, as if she was a little puzzled. "Jing Anzhou's aunt, when did our family marry Jing Anzhou's aunt?"

Su Qingnuan's voice landed, and Liu Ruoxi heard an exclamation.

As soon as the princess got up from her seat, without the slightest warning, she collapsed.

"Come ......" Liu Ruoxi got up in a hurry, she naturally didn't have time to help the princess. A group of people serving around the princess stepped forward one after another and helped the princess up. The princess's face was still a little red, but her lips were pale.

Liu Ruoxi thought that the princess had fainted, but she saw that the princess's lips were trembling slightly.

"It's ...... What's wrong? ”

Su Qingnuan also turned around at this moment, exclaimed in surprise, helped the princess, and asked what was wrong.

"I didn't eat."

"Go and report to the second wife immediately, and quickly ask the doctor to come over." Liu Ruoxi's mind turned a few times, but her face was extremely calm, and she ordered them one by one, "You don't have to worry about anything else, just take care of Young Master Jin." ”

This is what was commanded to the nurse.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Ruoxi sent someone to inform Rong Chengyi, and then Su.

Lloy accompanied Su Shi to arrive first, and when Su Shi saw the appearance of the princess, his eyes immediately turned red, and his voice trembled.

"What's the matter, let you take care of the princess, that's how you take care of it. But if there is anything wrong with the princess, she will not spare you. Su Shi said this, and while letting the sedan chair carry the princess back to Rongyuan Hall, he asked Su Qingnuan what was going on.

"I don't know." Su Qingnuan said, seemingly inadvertently glancing at Liu Ruoxi.

Su Shi saw it immediately, and her gaze followed Su Qingnuan's gaze. It was the first time that Liu Ruoxi was looked at by Su Shi with such a cold gaze. Fortunately, Su Shi only glanced at Liu Ruoxi and turned his gaze away.

"Seven girls, tell me what's going on. I know you're careful. Saying this, Su Shi turned back to look at Liu Ruoxi.

"You are heavy, don't come with you, go back to Yunshuiju to rest." Su Shi said to Liu Ruoxi.

“…… It's okay, I'm worried about the princess. Liu Ruoxi replied.

"The princess has us, and that's enough. If you ...... again, when the prince and father and son come back, I can't explain it. Su's tone was cold. (To be continued......)
