Chapter 160: Ten Princesses
On the morning of the second day, Song Zhi hazy touched his side, only to feel that his palm was empty, and he knew that Shen Baiyan had gotten up.
The goose-yellow curtain hung down, gently wrapping Song Zhi in it, she felt a slight itch on her right cheek, so she reached out and touched it.
An ethereal kiss came to my memory, and it was imprinted here. Song Zhi laughed and rubbed his cheeks.
Meteor had been paying attention to her movements for a long time, and noticed a slight sound behind the curtain, "Madame, are you awake?" ”
After hearing Song Zhi's response, Meteor walked in with the little maids holding hot water and handkerchiefs.
"Shooting stars." Song Zhi was baked by the heat of the hot handkerchief, and the whole person was sober, and said, "Is the water chestnut back?" ”
Meteor re-wet the handkerchief, twisted it again, and said while wiping Song Zhi's hands: "No, the slave went to call her for breakfast in the morning, and found that her bed was cold and cold, and she should not have come back all night." ”
"Really?" Song Zhi had a slight premonition in her heart, she sat in front of the dresser and used her armor to dig out some jade girl paste from a vermilion jar.
The cream melted quickly on his hands, and Song Zhi lowered his eyes to look at his hands, slowly rubbing them, massaging them smooth and smooth.
Water chestnut does things quickly, not only because of her own ability, but also because she can use Shen Baiyan's resources. In the past, if things were tricky, the water chestnut would also come back and tell Song Zhi that it would not be like today.
"Ma'am. Breakfast was prepared. Cha Yun walked in and said.
Meteor sensed Song Zhi's concern about water chestnut, and comforted Song Zhi while helping Song Zhi away: "Maybe this girl will come back in the afternoon." Don't worry, ma'am. ”
Song Zhi only gave a soft 'um'.
"What does the prince use for breakfast?" Song Zhi smelled the bowl of fish skin wontons presented by Rosin Xiang, and only felt that the taste must be no worse.
"Clear soup shredded noodles." Meteor said without thinking, she saw that Shen Baiyan ate little and lightly, and she already had some worries in her heart, thinking about reporting this matter to Song Zhi.
After the rest of the dishes were sent back, Rosin Xiang also deliberately handed over the message, asking if the prince had changed his taste and didn't like his craft.
"Probably not." Song Zhi tasted a spoonful of wonton soup and said.
Rosin cooking is very delicate, even if the taste is light, there is also a rich texture.
'Isn't it going to get blood today?' This thought flashed through Song Zhi's mind, she thought for a while, and said, "The prince came back late last night, and he used food outside, so maybe he hasn't eaten yet." So that rosin doesn't have to take it to heart, her craft is good. ”
Meteor smiled: "Then this girl Rosin is relieved." Say she can do anything, if she doesn't cook well, she'll have to soak in the kitchen all day. ”
Song Zhi finished breakfast, so he asked the nurse to bring the barbarian over, and the two of them went to the garden to relax together.
The two birds, Da Gu and Xiao Gu, have been by Song Zhi's side for so many years, from the Song Mansion to the palace, and now they are the top players in this courtyard.
Meteor only felt that these two birds were about to become sperm, and flew out for a walk every morning, and when it was time, he also knew that he would go back to his house to drink water and eat.
When Man'er was first born, Da Gu and Xiao Gu were very curious, and stood on the beam every day and looked curiously at the baby in swaddling clothes.
The nurse was worried for the first few days, for fear that the two birds would peck at the brute on a whim.
But Da Gu and Xiao Gu were very well-behaved, and gradually the nurse was relieved, and the two parrots were still standing on the edge of the bed of the small bed of the man, and Xiaodou couldn't help but look at the man.
When Song Zhilai took the barbarian out, the two birds flew on their sides neither high nor low, if they were tired, they could rest on anyone's shoulders casually, and the two yellow-green plush balls were really cute to look at.
Song Zhi asked people to fetch bird food, and put a little in a silver spoon, Xiao Gu hurriedly fluttered his wings and flew down from Cha Yun's shoulder, and Da Gu was much more stable, and after a few 'coo' calls, he paced a few steps on the meteor's shoulder, and did not intend to fly down to eat.
Meteor nodded his little head with his hand and said, "Do you eat a lot of food on weekdays, so you don't eat now?" ”
"Babble!" The barbarian stretched out his hand to Da Gu, and Da Gu obediently flew down and landed on her hand.
As soon as Meteor raised his hand, he wanted to stop it, but he felt that he was making a big fuss, so he retracted his hand and explained: "The bird is a rectum, and it is not good to stain Miss's hand." ”
As if he understood, Da Gu shouted at Meteor, "Goo! ”
The bird was so humane that everyone laughed together. After playing for a while, the brute was a little unmotivated, and lay on Song Zhi's shoulder.
Song Zhi patted her little buttocks lightly and said, "It's really a little lazy worm, you'll be tired after a while?" Didn't sleep well last night? She raised her eyes to look at the nurse, who was busy and said, "There was a thunderstorm last night, and the young lady was in good spirits for an hour or so, so it's normal to be a little tired now." ”
"Did it rain last night?" Song Zhi asked.
The nurse nodded, and the meteor also showed a look of sudden realization, and said, "It's really raining, and the slave maid thought it was a dream!" ”
Song Zhi thought of the water chestnut again, it rained last night, this girl shouldn't have suffered this shower of rain outside, right?
Song Zhi took the barbarian back to his room, just put the little girl on the bed, and muttered, "Mother." ”
Song Zhi patted Man'er gently, "Man'er, go to sleep." ”
Her eyes blinked sleepily twice, and she soon fell asleep.
Song Zhi looked at his daughter, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
Meteor walked to the door of the house with the milk tea that Song Zhi wanted to drink, but saw Cha Ming hurriedly come over and said a few words in her ear.
"Ten princesses?" Meteor asked in surprise.
Cha Ming nodded.
Meteor knew that the tenth princess was pregnant, why did she come to see Song Zhi with a big belly? She hurriedly walked into the house, offered tea to Song Zhi, and told Song Zhi about it again.
Song Zhi took a sip of milk tea, looked at the ripples of milk in the cup, and said, "You actually invited the princess to come?" Quick, let the princess in. ”
Since the death of the Empress Dowager, the tenth princess has rarely returned to the palace. She doesn't like to put on the princess's shelf on weekdays, and over time, Song Zhi subconsciously distinguishes her from the people in the palace.
Today, she came to this experience, but it reminded Song Zhi.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, why did you come alone, and your cousin didn't accompany you?" The first half of the sentence is slightly distant, but the second half of the sentence is the tone of acquaintances.
When Song Zhi saw her appearance with a big belly and difficult walking, her expression and tone unconsciously revealed full worry.
The tenth princess walked carefully, and almost half of her weight leaned on the maidservant. She laughed lightly and said to Song Zhi: "I haven't seen the princess for a long time, your cousin was pestered by his colleagues from the Hanlin Academy to eat and drink today, so I had to escape empty, if he is at home, I can't get out." ”
Song Zhi hesitated for a moment, but still walked down the steps quickly and helped the tenth princess into the house.
After the two sat down in the house, Meteor served tea to the tenth princess and left with a very good look.
"The princess is pregnant, so she shouldn't have thought too much about it." Song Zhi frowned slightly, and said with some disapproval.
The tenth princess touched her bulging abdomen, smiled with a hint of helplessness, and said: "I thought that I was no longer a caged bird, you were born and raised somewhere, and you are always inseparable from those inextricable connections. ”
Song Zhi was silent and looked at the tenth princess.
The tenth princess sniffed the cup of milk that Meteor brought her, took a sip, and said, "I came today just to bring a word to the one in the palace." ”
"The poison in the zongzi was not given by her." Song Zhi touched the wood grain on the coffee table and said.
The tenth princess's eyes also moved unconsciously along the movements of Song Zhi's fingertips, and the smile on the corner of her lips was faint, and she said: "Well, she is conclusive, I see that she seems to be frightened by the continuous changes over time." ”
"It's really not clever to poison what you have rewarded." There is no queen in the palace, and all matters are handled by the queen mother, so the festival of the Dragon Boat Festival is also handled by the Empress Dowager Jia'an.
"The prince was 'injured' for a few days, and the Empress Dowager Jia'an was shocked for a few days, like a frightened bird, I saw that she was several years old." The tenth princess said, "What about the prince?" Why don't you see him? ”
Song Zhi lowered his eyes and was silent, and the tenth princess did not ask.
"Some time ago, someone from the palace touched a nail that was neither soft nor you, but it frightened the Empress Dowager Jia'an." The tenth princess said again.
"When did she become so bold? How did the emperor react? Song Zhi glanced at the tenth princess and said.
"Your Majesty? I didn't see the emperor, but I learned from the queen mother that the emperor misses the prince very much. "The tenth princess is actually confused herself, and she doesn't know which camp she is in.
Song Zhi looked at her face that was a little rounder due to pregnancy, and said, "The prince has been injured a lot less these days, and the queen mother can rest assured, right?" ”
The control on the palace was loosened, and the small pieces of information leaked through the cracks of all colors.
"Peace of mind? The Chu girl was sent to Zhuangzi, and Cui Jiacheng was very frightened. Speaking of the Cui family, the tenth princess's tone became relaxed, and there was a feeling that she had nothing to do with herself.
Chu Wei was sent to Zhuangzi by Shen Baiyan on the pretext of delivering news, but Song Zhi returned the deed she signed to her, and did not restrict her comings and goings.
"I heard." The tenth princess suddenly lowered her voice and asked with a slightly strange expression: "She was still a virgin when she left?" ”
Song Zhi glanced at her, and said a little uncomfortably: "Princess Tangtang, how did you learn enough to be in the market?" Asking these questions? ”
The tenth princess snorted lightly and said, "I want to know, you have such a skillful method, you can ask for a lesson or two." ”
The two talked about these scattered things, and the atmosphere seemed much more harmonious.
