Chapter 23: The Babysitter
His chin hurt when he was pinched by Li Zhi, but fortunately, he let go after pinching it.
Zhang Wenyi lowered her eyes to hide the anger in her heart, and after a moment when her heart calmed down, she raised her eyes to look at Li Zhi and said softly: "Your Highness, it doesn't matter if you hate me or hate me." Today is the day when you and I get married, and I can't run and I don't dare to run. ”
Li Zhi thought that Zhang Wenyi would cry and make trouble, and he had thought about how to deal with it. But Zhang Wenyi didn't cry or make trouble, but told him calmly and honestly that she didn't dare to run.
This is a different girl, Li Zhi looked at Zhang Wenyi with interest. After a while, he smiled and said, "Since you don't dare to run, then you will kneel in the hall for me!" ”
Zhang Wenyi closed her eyes, stayed for a moment, and suppressed her anger again. She stood up calmly, walked to the hall outside, and knelt upright.
Li Zhi was surprised again, he snorted and said, "Get up!" ”
When Zhang Wenyi returned to the bedside, Li Zhi grabbed her and asked angrily, "Why are you so obedient today?" ”
Looking up at Li Zhi's eyes, Zhang Wenyi said word by word: "From today on, you are my husband, a piece of weather for me to shelter from the wind and rain, and I should obey you." ”
It seemed that there was no hope for Zhang Wenyi to make a fuss tonight, and Li Zhi suddenly lost interest. He let go of Zhang Wenyi's hand and said stupidly, "Sleep." ”
Zhang Wenyi turned around and walked to the dresser, took off the ornaments on her head, found a ribbon to tie her hair, returned to the bed, untied her coat, took off her coat, went to bed, pulled a quilt and clothes and lay down.
Li Zhi stood beside the bed for a while, and suddenly said, "You just sleep by yourself." ”
Zhang Wenyi asked tiredly: "Is there anything else?" ”
Li Zhi sighed for a long time and said, "Why don't you help me loosen my clothes." ”
Zhang Wenyi was a little surprised, she said, "I thought you didn't want me to touch you." ”
Li Zhi's face turned red and he didn't speak.
Zhang Wenyi still got up and helped him take off his coat and middle coat, fold it and put it on the side of the bed, and then lay down again. After a while, Li Zhi also got into the quilt, and the two of them just lay side by side, with their eyes closed, but no one could sleep.
Sure enough, after a while, one of Li Zhi's arms passed under Zhang Wenyi's neck, and the other hand wrapped around her waist and turned Zhang Wenyi over to face him.
didn't expect Li Zhi to be strong, Zhang Wenyi subconsciously struggled, but was hugged by Li Zhi, and Zhang Wenyi, who reacted, immediately gave up struggling. Feeling the girl's obedience, Li Zhi also loosened a little, and a thrill of conquest rose in his heart.
Secretly laughed at Li Zhi's childishness, Zhang Wenyi simply found a comfortable position in his arms and slept by himself.
After being happy for a while, Li Zhi felt that the arm that made Zhang Wenyi's pillow began to go sore. Although he wanted to pull his arm out, he stubbornly held back when he saw the peaceful face in his arms.
Zhang Wenyi, who was not asleep, felt Li Zhi's strong support, and secretly smiled that this little kid still has some gentlemanly demeanor. didn't embarrass him anymore, turned around and gently and skillfully left Li Zhi's already numb arm.
Withdrawing his hand, Li Zhi looked at Zhang Wenyi's delicate back and waterfall-like hair, and couldn't help but get close to her, gently wrapping around her waist from behind, and her nose was full of the girl's faint body fragrance. I don't know why this aroma gave him stability, and before he knew it, Li Zhi also fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Li Zhi opened his eyes and saw that the beauty beside him was getting up and dressing. Seeing him wake up, Zhang Wenyi smiled and said, "Get up, I'll have to go and say hello later, it's not good to be late." ”
Li Zhi was accustomed to calling the palace maid to come in and serve, but was stopped by Zhang Wenyi. Li Zhi looked at her puzzled, but saw Zhang Wenyi and said with a straight look: "Now that I am your wife, I don't want these things to be faked." ”
As she spoke, Zhang Wenyi served Li Zhi to dress, and finally helped Li Zhi tidy up her neckline and belt, and Zhang Wenyi looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction. The past few months have not been in vain, and the overall effect is good.
When the palace maids came in, they found that King Jin and his wife were already dressed, and they couldn't help but be surprised. Then Zhang Wenyi's actions surprised them even more, Zhang Wenyi only asked the palace maid to bring toiletries, and the next thing was that she personally helped Li Zhi wash his face. The princess personally served the prince, this is the first in the entire palace, do you treat the palace as a commoner's home?
But seeing that King Jin was enjoying it, the female official swallowed back the words in her mouth.
Since the death of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin has not set up another queen, so the bride served a cup of tea in the morning was received by Li Shimin, and the other cup was led by Changsun Wuji. It was a very simple ceremony, and there was no group of concubines on the side that Zhang Wenyi expected. The only woman beside Li Shimin was Princess Jinyang, she looked at Zhang Wenyi with a smile and shouted sweetly: "Imperial sister-in-law." ”
King Jin also seemed surprised, but he looked at the calm Zhang Wenyi and still couldn't help but say nothing.
After receiving the bride's tea, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji stood up and said that they had a business trip and took Li Zhi out, leaving only Jinyang and Zhang Wenyi in the room.
Looking at Li Zhi's distant back, Zhang Wenyi was thoughtful.
The palace maids who came with him all followed Li Zhi, and Zhang Wenyi became nowhere to go. So she could only take Jinyang to her residence for temporary refuge.
Jinyang's dormitory is very large, although there are many people who serve her, but there are only so many people in the regulations. When these people were thrown into such a large palace, they looked deserted.
At this time, it is mid-autumn, and autumn is more pronounced in the northwest than in the south, with hot days and cool nights. At this time, the sun is not hot enough to dispel the cold of the night. Zhang Wenyi asked Jinyang and learned that she had learned the Five Birds Opera.
In this way, Zhang Wenyi began to interrupt her morning exercises for several months, while Jin Yang practiced her five-bird opera on the side. In ancient times, there were no modern underwear and underwear, and in order to facilitate toileting, the ancients wore open crotch pants. Therefore, Zhang Wenyi can only exercise selectively, and some movements that are normal in modern times are omitted in ancient times.
The heat of the sun was increasing, and seeing that it was almost over, Zhang Wenyi took Jinyang back to the palace. Jinyang also had a morning class in the morning, and the parenting grandmother had already arrived, but when she saw Jinyang exercising outside, she couldn't help but call her.
Jinyang's course is very simple, in addition to learning court etiquette, it is to practice calligraphy, and since Zhang Wenyi is present, he will inevitably become Jinyang's accompaniment. In the course taught by Jinyang's upbringing grandmother, there are some etiquettes that Zhang Wenyi has already learned, and some of them have not learned.
Seeing Zhang Wenyi's seriousness, Jin Yang also redoubled his efforts.
When it was time to practice calligraphy, Zhang Wenyi thought that the two strokes that he had worked hard for more than a year would not be too bad, but when Jinyang wrote it, Zhang Wenyi rarely blushed. The evaluation of raising a grandmother is the worst word for those who enter the palace except for the palace maid.
I ate some snacks at lunch, and then I arrived at the women's red class in the afternoon. This is Zhang Wenyi's strength, and she finally won the approval of raising her grandmother. At the end of the day, there was still an hour left before dinner. This is a rare free time, Zhang Wenyi took out the checkers, and the two of them had a good time.
Dinner was still greasy big fish and meat, Zhang Wenyi really couldn't stand it, and asked if there was a small kitchen in the palace, so he looked for it himself, and saw that the ingredients in the kitchen were not rich, but fortunately, there were vegetables, radish, and tofu. Zhang Wenyi searched for a long time and did not find the cooking oil for cooking, and when she asked, she learned that cooking at this time was basically without oil, and the soybean oil used to cook vegetables in modern times is generally used for lighting.
Fortunately, the firewood stoves were ready-made, Zhang Wenyi ran back and got some soybean oil from each lamp, and Jin Yang followed behind and looked dumbfounded.
Looking at Zhang Wenyi's stir-fried vegetables, Jin Yang admired it. She revealed that the prince wanted to cook secretly by himself when he was a child, but the fire didn't even rise, and finally their cooking plan died in the process of making a fire.
Zhang Wenyi burned a stir-fried green vegetable and a fried tofu, and Jin Yang couldn't help but take a bite when he smelled the aroma. She smiled at her brows. The two returned to the room with the dishes and ate them separately, and this time Jinyang ate a small half bowl of rice.
However, Li Zhi still did not appear after the palm lamp, Zhang Wenyi secretly smiled bitterly: Is it really the nanny of the little princess of Jinyang, will it no longer appear?
At the time of the second watch, Li Zhi rushed to the outside of Jinyang's palace, and at this time, Zhang Wenyi had just put Jinyang to sleep. It's just that Jin Yang hugged her and slept very sweetly, and if Zhang Wenyi wanted to pull her away, Jin Yang immediately became uneasy.
Looking at the palace maid who came in to call her, Zhang Wenyi had no choice but to say to her: "You go and tell King Jin that I have slept, and let him go back to rest early." ”
After a moment of pushing, King Jin burst in angrily. Li Zhi's voice pushing the door was a little loud, and Jin Yang hugged Zhang Wenyi uneasily.
Zhang Wenyi gently stroked her back, coaxed Jin Yang to settle down, turned her head and glared at Li Zhi, and said softly, "What are you doing." ”
Li Zhi blushed in embarrassment and didn't speak, and Zhang Wenyi saw that he was tired, so he beckoned him to come closer. Grabbed Li Zhi and asked him to lean down, kissed him lightly on the cheek, and said softly, "Let the palace maid pick me up early tomorrow." ”
Li Zhi nodded, kissed Zhang Wenyi back, and retreated lightly.
In the evening of the next day, a female official took Zhang Wenyi out early, and Jin Yang looked reluctant and a little helpless. Li Zhi came back very late in the evening, Zhang Wenyi didn't ask him why he came back late, but just asked the palace maid to fetch water and personally serve him to wash his wide clothes.
When he got to the bed, Li Zhi gently hugged Zhang Wenyi's shoulder and said, "In the past few days, my father has asked me to counsel for government affairs, and there are a lot of twists and turns to watch, and I may come back late." ”
Zhang Wenyi wrapped her arms around Li Zhi's waist and whispered in his arms: "Then you can come back directly, I know the way." ”
Li Zhi said: "Otherwise, you and Jinyang will live with her, and it will save me from distraction." ”
Zhang Wenyi shook her head and said in a muffled voice: "Don't, this is my home." You can do things outside with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about me. ”
Li Zhi wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. The husband and wife slept peacefully all night without saying a word.
The next day, Zhang Wenyi served Li Zhi and went out, and she also packed up and went to Jinyang's dormitory. She also saw that as her father-in-law said, she was only going to be Jinyang's nanny before she was selected to enter the palace, so it was better to go to work, and by the way, she could also listen to free court etiquette classes.
