The maid probably didn't expect me to change her face suddenly, and I was so startled that I forgot to speak, and I had already walked up to her in two steps and said in a fierce voice, "What's the matter?!" ”

She was even more frightened and looked at me in horror: "So, so Miss Ruoshi took her out." ”

"What?" Han Ruoshi went out with Li'er? I hurriedly asked, "How long have you been out?" ”

They looked at each other, and the other maid said, "About an hour." ”

“……”

It's been an hour.

I frowned.

The maids all looked at me cautiously, and for a while they didn't even dare to take a breath of air, and after a while, they didn't see me say anything more, but one of them was more clever, rolled their eyes, and whispered: "Madam, do you want us to go out and find Miss Li's back?" ”

“……”

It's been an hour, and Jinling is so big, how can I find it?

I was a little angry and a little frustrated, so I just shook my head and said, "That's it, you don't have to look for it." However, you can watch at any time, and if you come back from Miss, come and sue me immediately. ”

"Yes."

"All right, go down."

"Yes."

They saluted me, and all of them carefully withdrew, but as soon as they withdrew, a few maids rushed in, and this time brought me breakfast, and set the table with porridge and side dishes.

"Madam, this is the breakfast that Miss Ruoshi ordered to be prepared for Madame."

I smiled: "Miss Ruoshi is really careful. ”

They smiled, turned around and brought a bowl in front of me, which contained half a bowl of steaming potion with a faint bitter taste.

I frowned slightly: "This is also prepared by Miss Ruoshi?" What is it? ”

"No, madam, this is what the prince ordered for the madam."

"Yuan Xiu?"

"Yes, Childe let us fry it and serve it to Mrs. while it is hot."

"What kind of medicine?"

"This, Childe didn't say, but the prescription was given by Yao Lao."

“……”

I picked up the bowl of medicine and put it under my nose and smelled it, only vaguely smelling deer bits, Xinyi, and it seemed that there was also the smell of angelica.

It seems to be-heir soup?

It turned out that he was ......

I couldn't help crying and laughing.

However, this is nothing, speaking of which, I am actually not young with him, especially him, he has already passed the age of his establishment, according to the ranking, he is still Pei Yuanhao's second brother, the emperor has both children, but he has no sons and daughters under his knees, which is indeed a little unreasonable. Fortunately, Queen Yin is delirious and not by his side, otherwise the mother-in-law will definitely blame me, the daughter-in-law.

However, since Yao Lao gave this prescription, it seems that he is also a little anxious to tease his grandson.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, and the two maids were still standing at the table, looking at me with blank eyes, and they didn't mean to retreat.

I sighed, blew lightly twice, and when the decoction cooled a little, I poured it down.

It's bitter!

Although I was prepared, the taste of the decoction was enough for me, so bitter that my whole face wrinkled, and I could barely swallow it, before I handed the empty bowl to one of the maids, and she laughed as if she had completed a task, and then said, "Madame, please use it slowly." ”

After saying that, he withdrew with another maid.

Looking at their relaxed backs, I couldn't help but smile bitterly twice, and then looked down at the table full of side dishes, although they were colorful, but the bitter smell of medicine also made me have no appetite, retched twice, and got up and walked away.

However, the next time seemed to be more difficult to pass than the bowl of bitter medicine.

Even Su Su was not there, and I was the only one left in the inner courtyard, and I walked back and forth on the forest path for a while, but there was no news from the maid that Li'er had returned.

I couldn't help but feel a little more anxious in my heart.

When I returned to the house, I couldn't sit still, so I simply went out out of the inner courtyard, and as soon as I crossed the small bridge, I saw the attendants and maids going back and forth one by one, so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, and when they saw me, they only saluted from a distance, and they didn't even have time to say a word, so they left.

I stood at the head of the bridge and watched the busy figures of those people, like the flowing water under my feet, rushing away.

It seems that I am the only one, a stubborn rock in the flowing water.

However, at this time, I did not have much mood and time to think about these idle things, I walked out slowly, and the attendants who saw me along the way saw me, and finally stopped and saluted, and asked me what I commanded, and I only asked them if they had come back, but they all shook their heads and did not see it.

My worries are getting heavier and heavier.

Seeing that it was almost noon, I stood at the gate, watching the crowd of people coming and going outside the open door, but they never came back, and the maids finally realized that something was wrong with me, and came forward one after another.

"Madame, is there anything wrong?"

"Madame has something to tell us."

"If there's anything, we'll go and ask Miss Zitong to come over now."

I looked at them and didn't know what to say for a moment, when a familiar figure walked in through the door.

If you look closely, it's Li'er!

She crossed the threshold and happened to see me, and her eyes widened in surprise: "Mother, why are you here?" ”

I walked up a few steps and grabbed her arm: "Li'er, where have you been, why are you only coming back now?" ”

"I—"

Before she finished her words, a soft voice next to her already said, "Sister Qingying." ”

I looked up and saw Han Ruoshi also walking into the door, looking at me with a smile.

"Miss Ruoshi."

"Li'er wants to go to the riverside today, but I see that my sister hasn't gotten up yet, maybe she's tired, so I took her out by myself."

"Ah......h

"I didn't tell Sister Sù either, I made you worried, it's mine."

She spoke earnestly, I didn't know what to say, but it was because I, a mother, didn't care enough about my daughter, and I lost her like this last time, and this time I actually ......

Looking at the surrounding maids, they also laughed and stepped aside.

I was suddenly a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Li'er in her arms raised her head, blinked her big eyes and said, "Mother, don't worry, I just went to the river to play for a while, and Aunt Ruoshi bought me some food, so I came back late." ”

I realized that she was still carrying some sugar cakes in her hands.

I couldn't help but say, "You can't eat too much sugar now, you're changing-"

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by a coughing sound, and when she looked up, Han Ruoshi was covering her mouth and coughing gently, her originally fair and thin melon seed face was a little red, and the maids around her all gathered around her: "Miss." ”

"Is Miss alright?"

"I'm fine," she waved her hand gently, "I'm just a little tired, send me back to rest." ”

The maids hurriedly helped her to the other side, and whispered as they walked: "Miss is not in good health, she shouldn't be so tired." ”

"That's it, Miss is in charge of this house every day, and she should take care of it."

……

When they were far away, Li'er and I stood at the door, a little stunned for a while.

Outside the gate, there were still people coming and going, frolicking and noisy, but just a door away, the two of us were a little strangely quiet, and after a while, I looked down at her, only to see that she was also a little sullen, and did not talk much. I thought about it for a while and said, "Mother, take you back to the room." ”

"Hmm." She nodded obediently.

She went out for most of the day, and went to the riverside, her skirt was stained with a lot of mud, and when she returned to the room, she immediately had a maid sent by Han Ruoshi to serve her to clean, I sat at the table in the center of the room, watching them busy for a while, and finally finished being busy, so I went up and asked, "Li'er, do you want to eat with your mother at noon?" ”

"No need mother, Aunt Ruoshi bought me a lot of food on the street, I can't eat it now."

"Oh."

I nodded, but still told her: "You are changing your teeth now, don't go out and eat indiscriminately, lest your teeth grow out and look bad." ”

When she heard this, she immediately nodded earnestly, and then yawned heavily.

"Tired?"

"Well, I'm a little tired."

"Then you can sleep for a while."

"Okay." She turned around and walked to the bed, and looked back at me again: "Will my mother accompany me?" ”

I smiled, "Of course." ”

She smiled happily, and showed a few big openings in her mouth, but as if she immediately realized this, she immediately pursed her mouth again, climbed into bed, lay down and covered the quilt, I sat down beside her, and kissed her forehead gently: "Sleep." ”

"Hmmm......"

It seemed that she was really a little sleepy, and after lying down, she closed her eyes, and after a while, her little mouth opened unconsciously, and she breathed long and evenly, and fell into a deep sleep.

I sat next to her, looked at her quiet and lovely sleeping face, and then looked up at the room that was a little too quiet.

After a while, she smiled faintly, still like when she was a child, reaching out and gently patting her quilt.

Time passed little by little, and when I could no longer do it, I stood up, my feet were a little numb, and slowly walked out of the room, and when I looked up, the two maids serving outside the door were watching me carefully.

I said softly, "Serve carefully, don't be like you used to be." ”

"Don't dare, slaves don't dare."

I nodded, and looked back again, Li'er was lying on the bed and sleeping peacefully, only the small mouth muttered something. I didn't think about how true or false her dream words were, I just sighed softly, turned around and walked out.

By the time I got back to the inner courtyard, it was already past noon.

Although I hadn't done anything in the morning, I was a little tired, I hung my head and pushed open the door, and when I looked up, I saw Pei Yuanxiu sitting at the big table in the center of the room, and when I heard the sound of me pushing the door, he turned his head to look at me.

"You're back."

"You're back."

We both spoke at the same time, and we were both stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed.

He walked up to the door and grabbed my hand: "Where did you go in the morning?" When I asked them, they all said you weren't in the house. ”

"Oh, I'm going out for a walk."

"The scenery of this house is still good in spring, and now that the weather is cold, don't stay outside for too long."

"Got it."

As he spoke, he took him by the hand and sat down at the table, and then he commanded outside, and in a few moments several maids came in and began to lay dishes on the table.

I was slightly stunned: "You haven't eaten yet?" ”

"Nope. I want to eat with you. ”

"I—"

"Don't say you don't have an appetite," he glanced at me slightly, "I asked, you didn't eat in the morning." ”

"I—"

I was about to say that I couldn't eat after drinking that heir soup, but when I saw that the table was filled with steaming food after a while, I swallowed it back and said with a smile: "I don't have much appetite." ”

"You are not allowed to say that you have no appetite, you still say."

“……”

I was stunned by him, and before I could react, he was already smiling and picking up a piece of fish and putting it in my bowl: "Eat well." ”

"......" I glanced at him, didn't say anything after all, and smiled faintly: "Okay." ”

There are only two people to eat, there are not so many rules, there are not so many words to talk about, for a while there is only the sound of dishes and chopsticks clinking in the room, I don't eat much, but he always stares at my bowl, as soon as I finish a bite of food, he must immediately pick up some dishes and stuff them into my bowl.

I had no choice but to eat.

I went back and forth like this, but I also ate a lot.

The maids all withdrew after they had finished cooking, and I think they probably did not leave the inner courtyard, but they all waited outside the door, but they were quiet, and did not even say a word.

I swallowed another bite of the food, and seeing him put some more in my bowl, I thought about it, and then smiled and said, "What did you do in the morning?" When I asked them, they all said you were on the side of the council. ”

"Well, discuss something with them."

“…… Miss Zitong, are you there? ”

"Yes, too."

He paused, then looked at me again, and said with a smirk, "What do you ask her for?" ”

"Well, there's nothing to do, I wanted to talk to her, and I found out that she was over there."

He was slightly stunned: "Talk to her?" You and her, she didn't do to you—"

I laughed: "She's impatient, but she's not bad." ”

After speaking, he bowed his head and took a bite of food.

Pei Yuanxiu stopped, looked at me a little worriedly, I was also a little uncomfortable by his gaze, and raised my head to meet his gaze: "What's wrong?" ”

"Qingying, I think it......" He hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Although I married you, I still can't understand you." ”

“……”

I was stared at for a moment by his inquiring gaze, and for a moment, I smiled faintly.

"Everyone is married to you, what else can you understand and understand."

“……”

"Let's eat."

After saying that, I also took a chopstick dish and put it in his bowl.

He looked down at the dishes in the bowl, then looked up at me, smiled a little, and began to eat again.

After two bites, I already felt a little stretching in my stomach, so I slowly stirred the last bit of rice in the bowl with my chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Then what have you been discussing all morning?" ”
