Bao Yuan just shook his head, "I wasn't outside in the morning, I didn't see the situation with my own eyes, let Granny Shu say!" ”

Qu Shi looked at Zheng Shu.

Zheng Shu was a little worried in her heart, she didn't want to mention today's incident specifically, but now that Bao Yuan has provoked the conversation, she can't hide it. Although this is indeed a bit disobedient to the old lady's will...... But it's also reasonable.

Zheng Shu stepped forward, helped Qu Shi sit down at the table, and then explained what happened during the day.

Although it was the second time Bao Yuan listened to it, his interest was not diminished at all, and some of the details that Zheng Shu deliberately omitted this time, Bao Yuan added them all.

"No wonder ......," a faint smile appeared on Qu's face.

It's unexpected......

That girl, who just arrived here, was able to do this.

That's true...... Rare.

Qu Shi thought for a while, "Early in the morning, I heard that there seemed to be some noise in the courtyard, so it turned out to be like this. ”

Zheng Shu lowered her voice on the side, "Niangniang, look, do you want to go and say hello to the old lady, so as not to ......"

The concubine shook her head silently.

Zheng Shu frowned: "But if the old lady is ......"

Qu Shi stretched out his hand and stopped Zheng Shu's words again.

She stood up, walked back again, and lay down on the bed again.

"Aren't you tired," Qu said softly, looking at the old and young standing on the edge of the bed, "take this opportunity to rest." ”

Zheng Shu: "Niangniang, I'm afraid-"

The words were not finished yet, but Qu Shi looked unwilling to listen to them anymore.

Zheng Shu was contemplating for a moment, and then did not continue to speak.

After talking about it again, Zheng Shu clearly felt that Qu's treatment of this new girl seemed to be a little laissez-faire and partial.

Bao Yuan on the side was unaware of all this, but after Qu Shi lay down, he stepped forward to help her put down the gauze tent, "By the way, Niangniang, Concubine Ning came with the little prince in her arms at noon, and you were still on a lunch break at that time, so she didn't let us quarrel with you." ”

"Yes." Qu's eyes darkened a little more, "Ah Tuo should have grown up a little more." ”

"Yes, the folk say that three turns, six sitting, seven rolls and eight climbs, but our little prince is only six months old now, and he can climb now!" Bao Yuan smiled and said, "This time can make Ning Concubine Niangniang ruined." ”

“…… That shows that Ning Concubine is well raised and well. Qu said lightly.

"Concubine Ning also said that the little prince has begun to babble and talk this month, although no one can understand what it is, but in another month or two, it should be able to shout 'mother'."

Bao Yuan wanted to continue, but Zheng Shu gently twisted her.

Bao Yuan was a little puzzled, and Zheng Shu motioned for her to look at Qu's expression.

Qu Shi was lying on the bed, his expression became a little sad again, as if he wanted to cry, but there were no tears.

"Niangniang......" Bao Yuan leaned down.

"Those children's clothes sent by the Internal Affairs Office, you can send them to Concubine Ning tomorrow." Qu Shi said in a low voice, "Tell her not to bring children to me in the future, I don't want to see them." ”

Bao Yuan was stunned, and her voice became softer, "Now that the child is still young, it doesn't matter if Concubine Ning helps take it, when it is older, she will really recognize people." ”

"That's good." Qu Shi said word for word, "It's better than here." ”

Bao Yuan wanted to argue about something, but Zheng Shu spoke first, "I tossed so hard last night, Niangniang must be tired today...... Bao Yuan, let the mother rest for a while. ”

Looking at Qu Shi again, she really closed her eyes.

Being a mother is like this, no matter how anxious others are, it's useless.

Bao Yuan, who was fine just now, had red eyes, turned around and walked outside.

A moment of footsteps passed, and the room fell silent again.

"Mother-in-law, go see her." Qu Shi said suddenly.

"Then ...... girl?"

"I'll be fine, at least tonight will be fine, I can assure you." Qu Shi still has the same tired voice.

Zheng Shu nodded, her eyes signaled the other palace maids nearby to pay attention, and then also walked out of the back room.

Bao Yuan was crying on the table outside.

Zheng Shu didn't speak, and stepped forward to gently pat Bao Yuan's shoulder.

"You, why did you come out......" Bao Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at Zheng Shu.

"Niangniang is not at ease."

"What's not to worry about, I'll finish crying, how can there be no one around my mother!" Bao Yuan said that he wanted to push Zheng Shu back again. Zheng Shu didn't move, and was thinking about how to comfort her, when there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside.

Both of them couldn't help but look up - the tall and thin woman who went out with Bai Ling during the day, beating her waist with one hand and holding her forehead with the other, was slowly walking towards the courtyard.

"It's weird." Bao Yuan wiped the tears on his face, and his brows were twisted into knots, "Both of them have come back seven or eight times today, what's the matter, it's not good to pray with the incense?" ”

I saw that the woman went straight to the bedroom of the side hall,

Bao Yuan stood up and rushed out, and when he walked into the yard, he just bumped into the woman and came out.

"What are you going to do!" Bao Yuan asked in a cold voice, "In the morning, Bai Ling asked you to pray with her, why are you back now, and she hasn't come back?" ”

The woman glared at Bao Yuan, and before she wanted to return the favor, she saw Zheng Shu walking out of the house slowly.

She swallowed the fire in her stomach and squeezed out a sneer, "Girl, where are you talking about, where am I coming back?" It was Miss Bai Ling who asked me to pick up my things, and I came back—it was dark, and it was inconvenient for her to read there. I'm in a hurry to send it to her. ”

Only then did Bao Yuan see that the woman was indeed holding a kerosene lamp and velvet in her hands, and she also had a cowhide water bag under her arm, which Bao Yuan had prepared for Bai Ling early in the morning.

The woman saw that Bao Yuan's eyes fell on the water glass, and explained, "Miss Bai Ling also said that she was thirsty, let me come back and get some water before I go over, don't believe you." ”

Bao Yuan took it and turned it upside down—it was filled with water.

Zheng Shu watched behind Bao Yuan, looking at all this a little strangely, "What did you do in the Imperial Garden today?" ”

The woman was still respectful to Zheng Shu, and bowed down and said, "What else can I do, Miss Bai Ling sat there and read a book for a day, and as soon as she got there, she suddenly said that she wanted to take notes, and let us come back and get the inkstone and paper; At noon, when the sun was a little bigger, he asked us to hold an umbrella, and then he said that he was sweating a lot, and asked us to come back and get her a sweat towel and a fan; In the evening, it feels cold again...... Heck, I can't remember how many trips I made back and forth today! Lady Shu, I don't say anything in front of you, but Miss Bai Ling...... It's too torturous! ”

As she spoke, the mother-in-law lowered her head and squeezed out a few tears.

"When did we enter this Chengqian Palace, when did we suffer such a sin? I didn't do any errands on the old lady's side today......"

Bao Yuan and Zheng Shu glanced at each other.

I'm afraid that if the old lady knows that Bai Ling prays for incense like this in Chengqian Palace, she will be so angry that she will slap the table.

"Then let's go." Zheng Shu waved her sleeves, and her voice softened a lot, "Things are coming one by one." ”

"Huh!" The mother-in-law felt warm in her heart when she heard this, and her eyes looked at Zheng Shu even more affectionately, "The old lady ...... over there"

"You don't care about the old lady's side." Zheng Shu said coldly, "What should be done is what it is." ”

The woman's face tightened, and her eyes immediately cooled a little when she looked at Zheng Shu, she hugged the things in her hand, lowered her head and hurried towards the door, and didn't forget to hit the treasure duck hard before leaving.

"Eh-" Bao Yuan's voice immediately rose, Zheng Shu stopped her, and hurriedly said, "Forget it." ”

Looking at the back of the mother-in-law in the distance, Zheng Shu looked at Bao Yuan with a little puzzlement, "Are you really sure that Bai Ling is reliable?" Why do I think she doesn't seem to be anxious about her mother's illness at all? ”
