During the subsequent trip, although Ling Li never came to see her again, she struggled to sit up every day to clean her face and comb her hair. These changes in Shumei made Bai An completely relieved. can have a mind to love beauty, which means that her body is really recovering well. Shu Mei was the heaviest patient he had seen over the years, and the only female patient. Watching Shu Mei get better day by day, he was the happiest in the entire team.

In the afternoon of this day, when Shu Mei sat up to drink the medicine, he noticed the undisguised joy in the corners of Bai An's eyebrows and eyes, and couldn't help but ask him curiously, "Doctor Bai has a happy event?" ”

"Seeing that Miss Shu is getting better every day, the villain is happy."

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about military justice, right?" Shu Mei asked.

Bai An said solemnly: "Being able to cure Miss Shu shows that the villain's medical skills have improved, and he can barely comfort his grandfather's spirit in the sky." ”

Bai An studied medicine with his grandfather since he was a child, and his ideal in life was to be a famous doctor in the neighborhood like his grandfather, saving lives and helping the wounded, and being respected. Later, the barbarians attacked, and the Baijia village where he was located was bleeding overnight, and he was hidden by his grandfather in a large stone nest for grinding medicine.

In order to avenge his family, he hid his age and joined the Lucheng Xiang Army. After entering the barracks, the high-intensity training was unbearable for him, and he failed several recruit assessments, and if it weren't for a fellow soldier pointing out that he would treat people, he would have been thrown out of the camp long ago.

Knowing that Bai An's family was also killed by the Xili Barbarians, Shu Mei gritted his teeth angrily: "The Xili dog thief is simply too deceitful!" ”

"One day, His Highness will take us to kill Wuhualing, rush out of Huifeng Ridge, and tell those barbarians to repent of their mistakes!" Bai An, who looked weak and weak, had an unusually firm look in his eyes at this moment.

Thinking of the man who rushed into the firewood room with a full glow to save her, Shu Mei also firmly believed that there would be a day.

Because Shu Mei's injury recovered faster than Bai An initially expected, the speed of the convoy was getting faster and faster. A month later, the convoy arrived in Yongding, the capital of the country.

While waiting in line outside the Anshun Gate in the west of the city to enter the city, Ling Li boarded Shu Mei's carriage again.

Shu Mei was sitting cross-legged on the soft pillow, browning in the sunset light through the curtain, and weaving things with pampas leaves. The emerald and slender leaves, deftly interspersed between her white fingers, were particularly fresh and eye-catching.

"What is this doing?" Ling Li looked at it for a moment and asked.

Shu Mei raised his head in surprise when he heard this, and when he saw that the person who came was Ling Li, he actually showed a trace of panic: "Brother Ling Li? ”

Ling Li's gaze followed her wandering gaze and fell on her bare feet that were quietly trying to retract into the futon. On the smooth back, the toes are as round as jade, and the shell-shaped nails are like peach petals in spring.

"I was bored in the car all day, so I asked Dr. Bai to pick some grass blades for me and weave a cage to raise grasshoppers." After hiding his feet, he calmed his eyebrows a little.

Thinking of the cages he saw on the laurel tree, and the hissing of broken brocade silk, Ling Li felt an inexplicable boredom in his heart. He said coldly, "I will enter the court tomorrow to report the Anyuan Liukou incident, are you willing to enter the palace with me?" ”

"Into the palace?" Shu Mei was a little surprised.

"Your grandfather is an old stubborn, and I don't want him to deal with this matter again in the same way as a kiss."

Ling Li's words were so straightforward that Shu Mei was stunned when he heard it. She beat her grandfather, who was little respected, was actually an "old stubborn" in his eyes?

I don't know what she was thinking when she stared at the blade of grass in her hand, Ling Li waited for a while without getting an answer, thinking that she didn't understand her words, and was about to speak again, so she whispered, "I can't wear this dress to enter the palace......"

The clothes on her body were bought from the mother-in-law who was in charge of sweeping when she was sheltering from the rain at the post station last time, and the fabric was crude and old, not to mention that it was ridiculously big. She wore it like a naughty child stealing an adult's clothes, which was extremely funny.

It is the nature of girls to love beauty. Ling Li's furrowed brows suddenly stretched a lot, "You don't need to worry about this, I will ask Madame to prepare new clothes for you." ”

Shu Mei raised his head and looked straight at Ling Li.

Those eyes were clear and bright, but they always carried a feeling that made Ling Li uncomfortable. The women of the Southern Dynasty have always lowered their eyebrows and lowered their heads, gentle and soft, and it is very rude to look directly at her like she does not know how to hide. Ling Li avoided her gaze, glanced at the half-rolled curtain, and said, "I will enter the palace tomorrow, and I won't send you back to the Shu Mansion today." ”

"Hmm."

Seeing Ling Li's back bowing away, Shu Mei brought the blades of grass on his fingertips close to the bottom of his nose and sniffed deeply.

She knew that he had married Dong Yuejiao, the eldest daughter of the third envoy Dong Chengwu, a few years ago, and she also heard that Dong Yuejiao was both beautiful and virtuous. It's going to be seen today, and she is looking forward to it.

To Shu Mei's surprise, since the carriage arrived at Ling Li's mansion near Xuanwu Temple, Qiudi Pavilion, she had been waiting to meet Dong Yuejiao, but only to wait for a high-ranking maid named Mingcui. She was a little strange, her husband came home from afar, and his wife didn't come to the door to greet her?

Bai An and the accompanying soldiers were arranged to rest in the outer house, and Shu Mei was carried into the inner house by a few attendants led by Ming Cui. Then a group of maids and women ran back and forth to bathe, change clothes, and smoke her hair...... Until it was dark, Ming Cui served her after dinner, and drank the qi and blood tonifying decoction sent by Bai An, and she didn't wait for the hostess to show up.

Before going to bed, she finally couldn't help but ask Mingcui, "Is Sister Dong not in the house today?" ”

"His Royal Highness stays in Lucheng, and Madame lives in her mother's house on weekdays. Before His Royal Highness entered the city, he had ordered someone to pick up his wife, and the lady said that it was a cat pet giving birth, and she was not worried about the new veterinarian in the house, so she would come back tomorrow. After that, I was afraid that Shu Mei would not be at ease, so Ming Cui said again, "Miss Shu, don't worry, Your Highness has already ordered, I will groom and dress up for the girl early tomorrow morning." ”

When I couldn't see Dong Yuejiao, I was a little disappointed. She asked again: "Brother Ling Li stays in the border city all the year round, why doesn't Sister Dong accompany him?" ”

"Life in the border city is hard, and His Royal Highness is worried that his wife will be affected." Mingcui used a silver hook to carry the mosquito repellent incense burner in the bed, and after putting down the veil at the head of the bed for her, she told again, "This incense has been stuffy for a long time, I have to take it out, and the girl should not open the mosquito net at will." ”

"Are there a lot of mosquitoes here?"

"Well, the Aki Ogikan is near the water, and in addition to being wet, there are many mosquitoes. For this reason, Madame would rather live in her mother's house. ”

Shu Mei opened the gauze tent and said: "Sister Mingcui, you let people plant laurel in the yard, and then go and pick lemongrass to weave into doors and curtains, mosquitoes don't like to come." ”

"Does this work?" Ming Cui will be skeptical.

"Of course it works, when I was in Anyuan, I ......" casually mentioned Anyuan, Shu Mei paused, and suddenly couldn't say any more.

Ming Cui had already learned about Shu Mei's identity and experience from Ling Li's attendants, and at this moment, seeing that her eyes were misty, as if she was trying her best to restrain her sadness, she changed the topic and said, "The girl is thinner than my wife, and her clothes don't fit well, I'll take someone to Jinyifang to buy them for you in a while." ”

"Thank you, Sister Mingcui." Shu Mei took a deep breath and suppressed the sadness in his eyes, "It's past five or seven, and I can't do my filial piety for my family after I was injured, can I ask my sister to prepare plain clothes for me?" ”

"Okay." The whole family was killed, and this kind of grief is unbearable for anyone. Mingcui looked at her sympathetically, still thinking about how to comfort her, so she said, "Tomorrow you have to get up early, Sister Mingcui should rest early." ”
