Chapter 224, Reward
This is the first time since giving birth to Brother Xu that Zhou Zhiqing has looked at Brother Xu seriously.
Brother Xu'er has a fair complexion, big eyes, slender and thick eyebrows, a straight nose, a small mouth with a slight pout, and small cheeks bulging, which is cute everywhere.
Zhou Zhiqing did not rush up to admit his identity. Yan Zhenjue guessed most of the right, Zhou Zhiqing really didn't think to let him call himself his mother so early, without him, Zhou Zhiqing thought that she was not worthy now.
Brother Xu was settled, and then sat down to eat obediently. Although the newly arrived palace maids didn't understand Zhou Zhiqing's identity, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had all orders, so they were all obediently waiting for the time being.
Zhou Zhiqing didn't say much, only instructed them to place Brother Xu'er's clothes, and he personally served Brother Xu on the side.
Brother Xu'er's temperament is very calm, although he doesn't have much strength in his hands, but he stubbornly fights with a spoon and the purple rice porridge in the bowl, and he has a posture of not giving up until he eats it in his mouth.
Zhou Zhiqing didn't say much, Brother Xu sprinkled her and cleaned it up for him, and when she got it on her hands and body, she wiped it clean for her, and the grandmother next to her was anxious, and couldn't help but say more: "Brother is still young, the spoon is not good, it is better to feed it by adults, otherwise the porridge should be cold." ”
Zhou Zhiqing only looked at Brother Xu, and asked softly, "Does Brother Xu want someone to feed you?" ”
Brother Xu raised his head, blinked his long eyelashes, looked at Zhou Zhiqing for a long time, was reluctant to talk to her, and lowered his head again. Zhou Zhiqing said: "No need, let my brother eat it himself." ”
Mama said, "This ...... His Royal Highness and Niangniang handed my brother into the hands of us and others, but it was not for my brother to toss so nonsense. In case we don't have enough to eat, we don't have warm clothes, and if we get sick again, we can't afford to eat. ”
Zhou Zhiqing was reluctant to be controlled in the past, but now it is even worse, and even because of the excessive suppression by Yan Zhenrui, there was an extreme rebound, she glanced at the grandmother coldly, and said very resolutely: "I am responsible." ”
Everyone was particularly displeased with her, and privately went to complain to the crown princess Xu. Put words into somebody's mouth. A lot of bad things were said. The Xu family didn't dare to do anything to Brother Xu, but it was difficult for Zhou Zhiqing to turn over his palm.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes it again, isn't that there? didn't say that she would be accepted and given her a name, so she didn't take care of it at this time. Where will there be a chance in the future?
Xu then ordered: "Bring Zhou Zhiqing over." ”
Zhou Zhiqing was inexplicable: "What did my mother call me to do?" ”
The grandmother beside the Xu family said with a cold face: "Niangniang called you." That's your blessing. Girl, hurry up, don't keep the mother waiting. ”
Zhou Zhiqing smiled and said, "Then bother Mama to go back to her mother." I'll go later. ”
The mama stared at her triangular eyes: "Miss Zhou, this is the Prince's Mansion, His Royal Highness is not here, Niangniang is the head of the family, she politely invites you, don't be embarrassed." ”
Zhou Zhiqing didn't want to attack in front of Brother Xu, so she cleaned his hands and face for him, pulled him to sit aside, poured him a glass of warm water, and then said to Mama: "Presumably your mother has misunderstood, I didn't sell myself in, but I was invited by His Royal Highness to live in the house temporarily, I don't expect Niangniang to treat her as a VIP, but at least hospitality, I guess Niangniang understands it, right?" If I'm causing trouble for my mother here, then I'll leave. ”
Mama was so angry that she was about to faint, who is this? It's crazy, isn't it? Who is she? Her Royal Highness is not here, she still dares to be so rampant, and even dare to pout her mother's face? If she doesn't say what she wants, she still wants to go? Where is such a thing, and what should she be? Vegetable market, come as you say, go as you go?
Zhou Zhiqing took Brother Xu'er's hand and said, "You can't sleep immediately after eating, I'll take you to the garden for a walk?" ”
Brother Xu left the familiar nurse and maid, and looked at Zhou Zhiqing with pleasant eyes, naturally she said whatever she wanted, held Zhou Zhiqing's hand, and followed him out. The threshold was too high, his legs were short and he struggled, and Zhou Zhiqing bent down and hugged him.
Brother Xu seemed a little scared and wrapped his arms around her neck tightly. Zhou Zhiqing's heart was sour, but she couldn't help but burst into a laugh and whispered, "Why are you so cowardly?" What's so scary? Can I take you up and climb the tree, and you won't be more afraid then? ”
Brother Xu opened his black eyes and looked at Zhou Zhiqing seriously and intently, and he didn't know if he understood.
The grandmother behind him had been insulted like this, this newcomer was not sensible, and he dared to treat himself as nothing, so he rushed over immediately, grabbed Zhou Zhiqing and said: "You girl who doesn't understand the rules, why don't you go with me to ask my mother for sin." ”
Zhou Zhiqing didn't watch out, she was dragged by this grandmother and staggered, Brother Xu was frightened, and hugged her tighter and tighter. has always hated these dog minions who rely on the power of their masters, and they are foxes and fake tigers, Zhou Zhiqing raised her legs and kicked this grandma away: "Anything, dare to come to me." ”
This grandmother is pampered in the house, and she is usually held by someone who is used to it, how can she ever suffer such a crime? This kick hit the fat stomach, and it rolled out like a round ball, and fell outside the door, screaming "murder" in his mouth, but he couldn't get up.
Zhou Zhiqing looked at her as if she was nothing, and walked straight past her. Brother Xu bit his fingers and looked at the grandmother on the ground from Zhou Zhiqing's shoulder and neck, but no one noticed that his eyes were strangely cold.
He didn't mention going down to the ground and walking by himself, Zhou Zhiqing seemed to have forgotten about this, and the mother and son walked out of the yard quietly.
Brother Xu fell asleep in Zhou Zhiqing's arms, his lotus-like arms were always firmly around her neck, Zhou Zhiqing carried him back to the dormitory and placed him on the bed, his eyelids moved sharply, and his petal-like mouth opened and closed, not knowing what he was saying. Zhou Zhiqing leaned to the side, gently hugged his small body, and patted his back with his palm.
Zhou Zhiqing thought that she had beaten the grandmother next to the Xu family, and she would definitely not stop there, but when she made a move, the Xu side died down.
It's just that during dinner, a palace maid specially sent a few dishes, which made it clear that they were given to Zhou Zhiqing.
Zhou Zhiqing only thanked respectfully when she heard this, and took it and put it aside. Brother Xu glanced sideways and said, "Eat." ”
Zhou Zhiqing stopped him and said: "Brother Xu is still young, he can only eat some soft and glutinous dishes, these dishes are not suitable for Brother Xu." ”
Brother Xu also turned his head and went to eat his egg custard.
Seeing that Zhou Zhiqing was indifferent, the palace maid couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and the maid told her that she must wait until she finished eating before she could go back to her life, and immediately urged: "The dishes given by the maid are all made in the small kitchen, and they are full of color, flavor, and taste, and the girl still eats it while it is hot, and the slave maid is good to go back to her life." ”
Zhou Zhiqing didn't raise her eyelids, but said: "I have already received the kindness of my mother, as for whether to eat or not, it is my own business." Why, if I don't eat it, can you still force me to swallow it? (To be continued......)
