Due to Hu Mu's illness, everyone's movements were very fast, and they did not dare to delay at all, and the big ship quickly left the dock.

Su Bai was injured, so he let him have a room alone on the grounds that it was convenient for the government doctor to enter and exit. Han Youning lives next door to him.

The rooms of several close guards Luo Ping, Ye Chang, and Duan Yi were next to them, and Mama Wu and Aunt Sun also followed, one in charge of housekeeping and the other in charge of the kitchen.

The room of the Duchess and Su Bai was at the other end of the cabin, and there was some distance between them, so they did not disturb each other.

With the Duchess of Zhongguo here, Han Youning does not have to be in Su Bai's room from time to time, and often talks to the Duchess of Zhongguo.

Hu Mu was always unconscious, but after taking the pill, the high fever subsided, and only a low fever occurred.

Most of the time, the Duchess of Zhongguo kept her needle and thread in her hands, making clothes for Han Youning.

Han Youning smiled, "Madame should always rest her eyes, you have already made me several clothes, how can I wear them."

Duchess Zhongguo smiled softly, and kept working on her hands, "I'm used to doing this, and Grandpa Guo and Mu'er like to wear the clothes I make. I see that there is only one Grandma Wu by the princess's side, she is too old to do needlework, and the two personal maids are too young, and no one must help you make these close-fitting clothes."

Han Youning looked at the tenderness on her face with fascination, and the sunlight sprinkled on her face, enveloping her with a layer of holy light.

She said softly, "In the palace, it is all embroidered by the girl, and it used to be done by the jade lady for me, and the needlework of the jade lady is very good."

Duchess Zhongguo sighed lowly, without a mother's child, she is lonely and pitiful after all.

"In the future, the princess's inner clothes and concubines will help you make it."

Han Youning excused herself, "It's the same for embroidery girls, Madame doesn't have to be like this."

Duchess Zhongguo stopped her needlework and looked up at her, "I was quite good with Duchess Dingguo back then, and we had a lot of contacts on weekdays. Let me do something for her daughter."

Han Youning was stunned, "Madame and my mother are acquainted? Why haven't you mentioned it to me before?"

Duchess Zhongguo said with a smile, "After you returned to Beijing, the scenery is infinite, the prince and the prince have maintained you, and the concubine was afraid that others would think that the concubine was clinging, so she didn't mention it."

Han Youning muttered to himself, "Why didn't I expect that, you are all duchesses, and you are of the same age, so you are naturally familiar with each other."

"That's what the princess said. The two of us had similar temperaments, and gradually, we got closer to each other. Later, I gave birth to a shepherd, Aman...... The Duchess of Dingguo is pregnant again, and we joke that if she gives birth to a daughter, she will be a daughter-in-law for Mu'er......

After saying that, she felt that it was inappropriate again, and hurriedly explained, "We just joked in private, and no one else knew."

Han Youning said, "It's okay, Madame doesn't have to be so restrained. You are an old friend of my mother, so you can be regarded as my elder."

Duchess Zhongguo hurriedly waved her hand, "The concubine doesn't dare to be the princess's elder. The princess has a noble status, and she has a great kindness to the concubine, and the concubine is respectful."

Han Youning said softly, "Madame, tell me about my mother. I didn't know anything about her, and I didn't dare to ask more for fear that my father would hurt me."

"What does Madame want to hear?"

"Anything is fine. As long as it's about mothers, I love to hear it."

Duchess Zhongguo pondered for a moment and said, "Duchess Dingguo and the princess look very similar, and they are famous beauties in Beijing. However, the noblewomen in Beijing are proud of their noble births, and the Duchess of Dingguo is from a merchant, so they have a lot of contempt. So gradually, she didn't like to deal with others, and she didn't participate in the banquet in Beijing much.

She once told her concubine in private that even if she was not happy in Beijing, she would not matter anything when she thought that she was the wife of the Duke of Dingguo. The first time she saw Dingguo Gong, it was in Xiangping Mansion. Ding Guogong came galloping on a horse in military uniform, and the heartbeat of that moment was imprinted in his heart."

……

Throughout the day, Han Youning stayed in the room of the Duchess of Zhongguo and listened to her talk about her mother.

Mother has always been an ethereal title in her heart, and everything is only based on her own imagination. She liked Yu Niang's embrace, and felt that her mother's embrace must be so soft. She misses

When she did something wrong, her second aunt was helpless when she scolded her, and she felt that her mother was so tolerant. She liked the gentleness with which the Duchess of Zhongguo spoke, and felt that her mother must have spoken so softly. She likes the way Yu Niang does needlework, and the Duchess of Zhongguo does needlework, so she feels that when her mother makes needlework for her, she must be full of love with a needle and thread......

But now, the image of her mother is clearer and more vivid in her mind. She knew that her mother loved to laugh and treat others gently, she knew that her mother also loved to eat flowers, and she also knew that her mother had a faint fragrance that others did not know.

Ye Chang came over and said, "Princess, it's time for dinner. The prince is waiting for you to eat."

Han Youning didn't want to leave.

At this time, looking at the Duchess of Zhongguo, she is a little closer than before, as if she is closer, she is closer to her mother.

can really leave Su Bai aside, if it is passed out, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

She got up and said, "I'll come back tomorrow to talk to Madame."

Duchess Zhongguo got up to see her off, and said softly, "The princess walks slowly."

Han Youning went to Su Bai's room and saw that he was instructing Duan Yi, "It's not been peaceful these days, you go to the guard ship and be more vigilant about them."

Duan Yi didn't say anything, and looked back at Han Youning who came in.

Han Youning walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and asked Su Bai, "Lord Wang, what's wrong?"

Su Bai said lightly, "There are spies mixed in the small boat that delivered the supplies today, but fortunately, Duan Yi noticed it. He had a sharp mind, and it was fitting for him to go to the guard ship as a deputy to the chief of the guard. It's enough to have Luo Ping and Ye Chang on this boat."

Duan Yi's acumen and thoughtfulness Han Youning know, but the palace guards are all elites, is the guard ship really lacking Duan Yi's deputy?

But Su Bai spoke, and she couldn't refute his face in front of Duan Yi, so she said to Duan Yi, "Then you can go."

Duan Yi's face was expressionless, and he arched his hand, "Yes."

He went out, and Ye Chang's voice teasing him came from outside.

When the people were far away, Su Bai motioned to Luo Ping, "You are guarding outside."

Luo Ping should get down, go out of the room, and close the door.

Han Youning frowned and looked at Su Bai, "You should know that Duan Yi was my personal guard brought from the Dingguo Mansion, why did you take him away?"

Su Bai first praised her, "I didn't refute my face in public, the princess is really smart."

Han Yu looked at him quietly, "Because of what?"

Su Bai said, "The spies who infiltrated the supply ship today, do you know how Duan Yi found out?"

Han Youning said, "Say it."

"On weekdays, everyone is used to serving meat first, and then vegetables and fruits. While the meat was served, the man picked up a basket of vegetables. Duan Yi only glanced at the big boat from a distance, then jumped off the boat and captured the man."

Su Bai looked at Han Youning and said, "With such a keen person by your side, aren't you afraid that he will find your flaws?"
