Ye Zhiqiu's speech was neither urgent nor slow, and his voice was smooth and soft, like a stream flowing slowly.
"Second sister-in-law, are you satisfied with the gift you gave to the little emperor's nephew?" Chu Miao'er did not hide her curiosity and asked directly, "How is her recovery going?"
As if he knew she would ask, Ye Zhiqiu smiled knowingly.
"Sister Huyin has several girls taking turns to serve her, and the prince is always by her side. Fourth brother and sister, don't worry!" Ye Zhiqiu patted the back of her hand gently, "The longevity lock given by my brothers and sisters to the young prince is very good.
I liked it, and I never let go of it once I held it in my hand. Even the prince said you have a unique vision."
Chu Qianqian also heard people say that before entering the palace, she went to the Silver House to customize a pure gold longevity lock as a birth gift for the young prince. However, in the past and present, jade was rarer and more precious than gold, and the elders always gave it to her as a gift.
Jade and other warm objects were given as newborn gifts. This was the first time she had heard of gold jewelry being given as a newborn gift.
The three of them don't move around very often on weekdays, but today they gathered at the table because of the prince's affairs, and the chat was considered speculative. After the meal, Chu Qianqian asked Chun Liu to prepare the carriage and send Ye Zhiqiu back home, but Ye Zhiqiu politely refused.
"Emperor's sister-in-law, the palace's carriage is waiting outside the palace. Don't bother the emperor's sister-in-law to worry about it," Ye Zhiqiu persuaded with a smile, "Emperor's sister-in-law has been busy all day long with the affairs of His Highness. When you have free time, you should pay more attention to rest.
yes."
Chu Miao'er was just thinking about finding an opportunity to ask about Hu Yin's situation, when she immediately echoed: "What the second sister-in-law said is, eldest sister, please rest early. I'll just give it to the second sister-in-law. She just happened to eat too much."
It’s better to eat more if you have more.”
Probably guessing her intention, Ye Zhiqiu just smiled lightly and did not refuse like he did just now.
Chu Qianqian looked left and right, Chu Miaoer's little thoughts were clearly written on her face. She can leave the palace tomorrow, and she didn't know what to do in such a hurry. Chu Qianqian finally nodded helplessly and smiled:
"Okay, then I'll trouble my second sister."
The heavy snow had not stopped yet. Baitao and Menghan were walking in front of them holding lanterns, which was enough to see the road under their feet.
"Second sister-in-law, it stands to reason that Mrs. Huyin has given birth to full term. Why have I never seen Mrs. Huyin enter the palace? And I heard from the palace that since the birth of the young prince, the second prince has not come to the palace often..."
Chu Miaoer asked worriedly, "Is she really well? Second sister-in-law, please don't lie to me."
Ye Zhiqiu didn't expect her to think so carefully. He turned his head and looked at her and sighed: "Is there any woman in the world who doesn't go through hell when she gives birth to a child?"
Her eyes reflected the candlelight in the lantern, and her pupils flickered slightly. Hearing her sigh, Chu Miaoer realized that she had said the wrong thing. She only cared about Huyin's body but forgot about Ye Zhiqiu.
She was once the biological mother of three children.
"Second sister-in-law, please don't get me wrong..." Chu Miaoer's heart thumped and she was about to explain, but before she could finish speaking, Ye Zhiqiu took her hand.
"It's okay. I know that you and Huyin have a good relationship. It's a complete life to have one or two close friends in this world. I should be happy for the prince and Huyin. Others don't understand the gold jewelry you gave me.
I should be able to understand." Ye Zhiqiu suddenly stopped, looked at her and said with a smile, "But a house full of gold and jade, what does it mean to be rich and noble?"
Only then did Chu Miaoer suddenly realize that Ye Zhiqiu's love for Fu Yanshuo had already surpassed the feelings between most couples in the world. It seemed that everything she did was to make Fu Yanshuo happy. How could she not do it at all?
unimportant.
"Sister Huyin suffered some pain during childbirth. She was groggy and dizzy for the first month, so she never went to the ground, let alone went to the palace. It's just that Huyin asked the prince to hide the matter from the outside world, because he was afraid
You are causing worries in the palace... I think if it were you, you would do the same thing." Ye Zhiqiu said slowly, "Am I right?"
Chu Miao'er couldn't deny this. Concubine Xue had a miscarriage, the prince was poisoned, the fourth prince was sent to Mobei, and she was forcibly detained in the palace... Hu Yin was so careful that he couldn't help but understand her situation at that time.
She also has a mood that will never cause trouble for her again.
"The second sister-in-law is right, I don't know for a moment whether I should be happy for the second prince or feel sorry for the second sister-in-law..." Chu Miaoer sighed sincerely, "If I could choose my life all over again, would the second sister-in-law still marry the second prince?
"
In the past, she always felt that Fu Yanshuo had been lucky enough to marry Ye Zhiqiu, a woman with such a sincere heart. Now she suddenly began to feel pity for Ye Zhiqiu. Maybe if she had not met Fu Yanshuo, her life would be completely different.
It was a pity that Ye Zhiqiu did not answer her unexpected question.
"I can walk the road ahead by myself. The four younger brothers and sisters will stay behind," Ye Zhiqiu let go of her hand and said softly, "We can come to the house to talk to you after you leave the palace."
Chu Miao'er saw someone from the Second Prince's Mansion waiting not far away, so she nodded and watched her leave before walking back.
The next morning, Bai Tao, who had been excited all night, got up in a hurry and started packing things before dawn.
"Why are you in such a hurry? The court has not yet ended, and the prince will not come here for at least two or three hours." Chu Miaoer reminded her while drinking porridge.
Baitao ignored it and took advantage of her break to eat porridge to fold all her clothes neatly and pile them on the corner of the bed. By the time she finished her breakfast, her things were almost packed.
"Princess, I am really happy from the bottom of my heart," Baitao said with a smile as he looked at the clean house he had tidied up. "Concubine Xue has won the favor again. Her Highness the Crown Princess's fetal status has been stabilized. Her Highness the Crown Prince's
The disease is under control, and now the Fourth Prince is back. I feel like the past few months have been like a dream, and when I wake up, everything is better again!"
I didn't think it at first, but now that I think about the series of things that happened in the past few months, it is indeed like Baitao said, it is just like a dream.
"Although the prince's condition is under control, if the poisoner is never found, the hidden danger will always be there, and we cannot take it lightly at that moment." Chu Miaoer stood up and walked to the door, quietly looking at the clean room.
The small courtyard fell into deep thought.
"Princess, why are you thinking so much again?" Bai Tao saw her walking out wearing only a thin gown. She quickly picked up her cloak and chased after her. "The prince has come back. Princess, please don't worry about these things anymore." She said.
He tied it carefully for Chu Miaoer and sighed, "The princess has already done a lot."
Chu Miaoer held the stove tightly. Everything was obviously going in a good direction, but why did she feel vaguely uneasy?
Drowsily, she heard a soft sound coming from outside the house. Chu Miaoer slowly opened her eyes and lowered her head to find that she had fallen asleep on the couch. After calling twice, she found that Baitao didn't seem to be in the house, and there was a knock on the door.
The door rang again and again, as if he knew someone was in the house.
Chu Miaoer rubbed his eyes, lifted the blanket sleepily, stood up, picked up a cloak and walked over.
"Princess! Where is Bai Tao?"
"White peach..." Chu Miao'er pointed behind her blankly, not daring to blink, "I don't know where I went... Why don't you go look for it?..."
Tingfeng looked at the person in front of him without blinking. He was so stunned that he didn't know why. He made a fist with his right hand and put it to his mouth and coughed twice as a reminder.
"Tingfeng!" Baitao's voice sounded suddenly.
I saw her running over here quickly with the boiled tea in hand. The surprise on her face was very obvious. She bowed politely and said with joy: "I have seen the prince! The prince is finally back!"
Fu Yunqi stood with his hands behind his hands, nodded casually, and always looked at the dumbfounded woman in front of him with a smile, looking around speechlessly, as if he could only hear the sound of snowflakes falling in his ears.
Seeing this, Tingfeng snatched the wooden plate from her hand and put it into the house. After coming out of the house, he quickly pulled Baitao who was standing there, turned around and ran away in a hurry.
"You don't seem too happy to see me back? Shall I go?" Fu Yunqi smiled and turned around, pretending to leave.
"Eh! You!" Chu Miaoer hurriedly reached out to hold him. Seeing a sly smile flash in his eyes, she dragged him into the house with shame and annoyance, and cursed delicately, "I don't know.
Be proactive!”
After entering the door, Chu Miaoer threw herself directly into Fu Yunqi's arms, tightly wrapped her arms around his waist, and buried her head in his chest. She quietly let out a long breath, seemingly very satisfied.
"Only Miaomiao can solve lovesickness." Fu Yunqi smelled the fragrance of her hair greedily, held her tightly in his arms, and asked softly, "How has Miaomiao been in the palace these past few months?
Has anyone bullied you and made you feel wronged?"
"Not good! Not good at all!" Chu Miaoer started shaking his head without thinking.
"It's not good?" Fu Yunqi pulled her out of his arms and asked, suppressing a smile, "Tell me, what's wrong?"
Chu Miao'er's every move in the palace was reported to him. He knew exactly what he did today, who he met today, what worries him and made him unable to eat or sleep at night.
It was clear that she had lived a very fulfilling life in the past few months. She was busy helping Chu Xianxue regain her confidence, and was busy helping Chu Qianqian track down the prince's poisoning. Anyway, she was either in Fengwei Palace or the East Palace, running around all day long.
, who can bully her?
"Without you!" Knowing that he did it on purpose, Chu Miaoer couldn't help but punch him in the chest. Blushing, she hooked Fu Yunqi's neck, put her feet on it, pressed her lips to it, and bit him hard.
His lower lip cursed, "How stupid!"
Although Fu Yunqi frowned slightly in pain, he did not push her away, but hugged her tighter. With lightning speed, he pressed Chu Miaoer down on the round table, their lips and teeth mingling.
"I'm back, why are you crying?" Fu Yunchi rubbed her earlobe with his soft lips, gently wiped away her tears and whispered, "Stop crying, it makes me feel bad if you cry."
The warm breath sprayed on her face, and the tickling feeling made her smile. She raised her hand to hit Fu Yunqi's chest.
