After dinner, Bai Jiaojiao brought the bath water and put it on the wooden table for Zhou Shiling.

Since Bai Jiaojiao came to take care of Zhou Shiling, in most cases, she washed Zhou Shiling's face and changed the dressing.

Zhou Shiling's legs were injured and she couldn't use the bathtub to bathe, so she could only wipe them with a sweat towel. Zhou Shiling only allowed her to help her wipe her back, and most of the time, she asked Su Xi to take care of her bathing.

Bai Jiaojiao brought the water and was about to take the faceker when she heard Zhou Shiling's words: "Sister, you don't have to worry about me for now, go take a bath and rest earlier." I'll wait for Su Xi to come back. ”

"Sister Su Xi hasn't come back yet, I'll help my sister ...... first."

Before Bai Jiaojiao finished speaking, Zhou Shiling hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Su Xi will be back soon, it's really fine." Sister, you've been busy all day, so you washed up early and rested. ”

Bai Jiaojiao knew that Zhou Shiling was exquisite, but Zhou Shiling didn't let her help her, so she had to give up. Then he took the water and went to the next room, and after bathing, he returned to this room and lay down next to Zhou Shiling to rest.

She saw Zhou Shiling with her eyes slightly closed, but she could see that Zhou Shiling was not asleep. Because Zhou Shiling occasionally frowned, he would also purse his lips lightly.

She was also thinking about how to find out who Wan and Bai Qingyun, the mother and daughter, wanted to harm after stealing the powder.

As soon as I have something on my mind, I just want to lie quietly on the bed and wait for my sister to come back.

In the dead of night, Bai Jiaojiao really heard a slight footstep, which was coming from the next room.

There was a slight sound of the door opening.

Bai Jiaojiao guessed that it should be Sister Su Xi's return. She had washed the dishes in the kitchen before, and she had gently closed the wooden door of the kitchen.

When I heard the sound of the door opening, I just wanted to go over and cook for Sister Su Xi. Although she knew that Sister Shiling was not asleep, she carefully lifted the thin quilt, got out of bed, and then arranged the quilt.

Zhou Shiling's question came from Bai Jiaojiao's ear: "Do you want to go out?" Younger sister. ”

Although Zhou Shiling's voice was soft, it was enough for Bai Jiaojiao to hear it clearly.

Bai Jiaojiao replied: "I feel that Sister Su Xi is back, and I want to go to the kitchen to heat up the meal, so that she can eat it early and come over to take care of my sister's bath." ”

Zhou Shiling loves cleanliness, even if her legs are injured, she can only lie on the bed to rest. But Zhou Shiling takes a bath several times a day, and has to change several sets of clothes every day.

Sister Su Xi told her, "Our young lady has been very particular since she was a child, and the house must be cleaned cleanly, and the clothes must be changed very frequently. Change it at least once a day in winter and at least twice a day in summer. ”

"That sister is ...... on the battlefield" Bai Jiaojiao wanted to say, my sister just wanted to pay attention to it, and she didn't have the conditions to pay attention to it.

Su Xi said: "Miss can't pay attention to it on the battlefield, so I have to not pay attention to it." But as soon as the young lady leaves the battlefield, she will go home and take a good bath, and it will take at least half an hour or more. Every time I take a bath, I don't know how many petals and medicinal powder I use. ”

Bai Jiaojiao heard Su Xi say that, so during the days when she was taking care of Zhou Shiling, she would help Zhou Shiling prepare the medicine powder every day.

After Su Xi helped Zhou Shiling take a bath, he could apply some anti-mosquito powder on his body for Zhou Shiling, and there was a faint fragrance of JU to dry petals, and Zhou Shiling only soaked his feet with petals in these days.

I heard Sister Su Xi say that some of the petals used by Sister Shiling were given by Shi Ye, and some were picked for her by Zhou Shiling's husband outside.

Bai Jiaojiao has also seen Zhou Shiling's petals in a cloth bag, many of which are excellent herb flowers.

There are also some petals that are packed into sachets by Zhou Shiling and carried with them, and there is a faint fragrance wherever they go.

Bai Jiaojiao felt that Zhou Shiling was blessed, and said, "Sister, brother-in-law treats you so well. ”

"Heh, I have known him since I was a child, and he has always treated me very well. When he grew up, he asked someone to go to my house to propose, and my father knew that I liked him too, but he deliberately didn't say anything. I was in a hurry. ”

When Zhou Shiling said this, she didn't look shy at all, so Bai Jiaojiao saw it, and teased her: "Sister, you don't know how to be shy." ”

"What's there to be shy about? I like people, and when they come to propose, my dad doesn't speak. I'm in a hurry, how can I be shy? Zhou Shiling pursed her lips helplessly and said, "I like someone, it's right." ”

"In front of Zhou Xiang, you dare to say that?" Bai Jiaojiao didn't believe that Zhou Shiling could be so bold. She had seen Zhou Xiang's person, and he was very serious, and she was a little scared when she saw it.

"Haha, of course I don't dare." Zhou Shiling glanced at Bai Jiaojiao, what's the matter with this child? I knew she was talking big, but I had to say it. Really. "What about you, if His Royal Highness the Second Prince really wants to marry you as a concubine, what will you do?" Zhou Shiling asked with concern.

Bai Jiaojiao hurriedly expressed her attitude: "I won't marry!" ”

"Why?" Zhou Shiling stretched out his finger and pointed to the sky above his head, and said: "Actually, they are like this, whether you like His Royal Highness the Second Prince or not, whether you can accept him or not, you can't refuse." Do you think, the mother of His Royal Highness the Second Prince,

But the emperor's favorite concubine, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, is a very important prince of the emperor. He wants to marry you, can you refuse? ”

"I can!" Bai Jiaojiao said categorically.

Zhou Shiling shook her head helplessly, "You are too young after all, and there are many things that you still don't understand." ”

Bai Jiaojiao smiled lightly, there are some things, it's not that she doesn't understand, but she doesn't want to wronged herself. She doesn't like the second prince, why should she accept him?

Zhou Shiling found some petals and gave them to Bai Jiaojiao for bathing, "These petals are the petals of medicinal herb flowers, you put a little bit when you bathe." ”

"Sister, when I go to collect medicine next time, I will also send you some petals." Bai Jiaojiao happily stretched out her hand to take the petals and said.

"Okay."

Zhou Shiling smiled comfortably and nodded.

Bai Jiaojiao thought about what Zhou Shiling had said to her, and when she heard Zhou Shiling's question, she lit the lamp so that she could find out the medicinal powder for Zhou Shiling.

She wanted to go to the kitchen to cook, so she came over to take care of Zhou Shiling's bathing.

After Zhou Shiling lit the lamp in Bai Jiaojiao, she saw Bai Jiaojiao's preoccupied appearance, and felt a little heartache. Stretched out his hand and patted the edge of the bed, and said, "Don't go to help Su Xi cook, you come and sit down for a while, and we'll talk." ”

Bai Jiaojiao had no choice but to agree: "Okay." ”

"Actually, I know you're not asleep, and you must know that I'm not asleep. We were all waiting for Su Xi to come back, so that we could hear her talk to us, Wan's side,

There's some news coming out. ”

Zhou Shiling stretched out her finger and pointed to the small wooden box next to the wooden table, and said, "Sister, help me get the small clothes in the box, I can do needlework, with you."

Talk. ”

"Sister, it's better to wait until dawn to do needlework, otherwise, it's not good for your eyes." Bai Jiaojiao persuaded softly.

"Let you take it, you can take it, why bother?" Zhou Shiling smiled disappreciably and said.

Bai Jiaojiao had no choice but to bring clothes to Zhou Shiling, help her light another lamp, and said, "In this way, my sister can see more clearly, which is good for her eyes." ”

"It's nothing, when I was younger, my biological mother made clothes for me. When I went through the evening, she sewed clothes in the house and lit only one lamp

This. ”

Zhou Shiling carefully embroidered flowers and chatted with Bai Jiaojiao.

In the kitchen, Su Xi stood in front of the stove to heat a meal, and occasionally heard the laughter of Bai Jiaojiao and Zhou Shiling. She fried a few more dishes, so that Zhou Shiling and Bai Jiaojiao could eat a little with them.

A moment later.

Su Xi carried the tray and brought the food to the room for Zhou Shiling and Bai Jiaojiao and put it on the wooden table.

"Miss, Jiaojiao sister, eat some more."

As soon as the food was served, the smell of meat wafted through the room.

Bai Jiaojiao smelled this fragrance and felt very hungry, glanced at the dining table, and found that Su Xi had made fried mud dumplings: this dish, and she immediately wanted to eat it.

It's just that it's so late, where did Sister Su Xi go to catch loaches?

"Sister Suxi, these loaches ......, heh, you won't catch them, right?"

Hearing Bai Jiaojiao's question, Su Xi smiled embarrassedly and said, "I want to catch it, but I went to Zishuiqiao Village, and the road is very strict.

How to catch it? ”

"My dad went to catch it?" Zhou Shiling took the chopsticks handed to her by Bai Jiaojiao, picked up a fried golden loach, fed it to Bai Jiaojiao's mouth, and then asked Su Xi

Su Xi nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, on the way back, I met the Prime Minister." He was dressed in black and wore a hat, and as soon as he gave me the loach, he left in a hurry. ”

"He's like this, whether it's sending melons, fruits and vegetables, or fish and meat, it's rare to say a few words to anyone." When Zhou Shiling said this, she couldn't help pouting,

Said: "I still haven't figured out one thing, my father is so good to the eldest princess, why didn't she marry him, and voluntarily proposed to marry to the Northern Di Kingdom and her relatives?"

You say, could it be because my father is quiet and can't say nice things to coax her, so he can't touch her heart, right? ”

"Haha." Bai Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing, swallowed the loach she ate, and then dared to smile reassuringly, and said:

It's still quite comfortable

"If the eldest princess didn't know Zhou's affection for her, she wouldn't have told her father that she wanted Zhou Xiang to take her and his party to send her to the border. She clearly proposed that she must let Zhou Xiang send her there, and she must have wanted Zhou Xiang to accompany her more......"

"What's the use of that? She is going to marry someone else, and she asked my father to send it, isn't it obvious that she wants to break my father's heart? Zhou Shiling said with a displeased face: "I dare to say that if my father hadn't fallen in love with the eldest princess in his early years, no matter who he marries now, he will have their own children." He will definitely be very good to his wife and children, he will definitely be a good husband, he will be a good father. ”

This kind of thing, can it also be assumed?

Bai Jiaojiao shook her head and said, "Prime Minister Zhou's vision is not low, and ordinary famous ladies may not be able to enter his eyes." ”

Su Xi also nodded in agreement, "I feel that what Sister Jiaojiao said is reasonable." Do you think, isn't a certain half-sister of Princess Xinnan also interested in the Prime Minister? But when the father of the eldest princess Xinnan asked him, he didn't accept it? ”

At that time, he had the eldest princess Xinnan in his heart, even if she married to another country and relatives, he couldn't accept her sister. If he has no one in his heart, he may not really accept it. Zhou Shiling still insisted on her own point of view.

Bai Jiaojiao persuaded Zhou Shiling: "You better eat more loaches, don't think about those things anymore." Otherwise, you will live up to Prime Minister Zhou's love for catching loaches and personally sending you care.

I also knew in my heart that as soon as Sister Shiling heard Su Xi mention the Prime Minister, she hurriedly mentioned some of the affairs of the Prime Minister's early years.

They did this because they were just worried, she would inquire with Sister Shiling after knowing the news that the Prime Minister had come, how long would it take for her wish to go to Northern Xinjiang to heal the wounded?

To help her do this, Sister Shiling can only find the Prime Minister and them to help mention it to the emperor.

Sister Shiling knows how her medical skills are. Sister Shiling is the daughter of the Prime Minister, and it is only appropriate for the Prime Minister to say this in front of the emperor. However, Sister Shiling did not mention this topic. A trace of regret flashed in Bai Jiaojiao's eyes.
