Chapter 815 It comes again, it comes again.
"Have you packed everything? Aren't we leaving tomorrow?" Aunt Wei came back from the street and ran towards her, holding the newly bought cloud cake in her hand.
Jing Chunxi noticed the unusual silence in the mansion. The servants were all gathered around her, showing no sign of packing up. Even the boxes of peaches and icing in her room were barely touched. Having regained much of his energy and begun to walk around, Jing Chunxi couldn't help but ask.
Today she changed into an apricot-colored dress embroidered with twined branches, and her complexion was much rosier than a few days ago, which showed that she had taken good care of herself.
It wasn't that bad, my first period came and went quickly. Aside from scaring a few people on the first day, I just felt a little uncomfortable afterwards, and the flow wasn't heavy, so it passed quickly in three days.
Thinking about it now, Xu Zize's panic at that time was really ridiculous, but the unfamiliar pain and fear still linger in my heart when I think about it.
"His Highness and Madam Xiao are worried that the young lady won't get enough rest, so they've postponed their return trip by five days." Chun Tao smiled brightly as she brought another bowl of brown sugar eggs. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the yolk barely set, resembling a tiny sun in the brown sugar water.
But once bitten by a snake, one becomes afraid of ropes for ten years. Jing Chunxi took a few steps back in fear, waving his hands like rattles, his orchid-embroidered cuffs flapping with his movements.
She has been eating all kinds of supplements these days, and she is scared when she sees a bowl of them, as if they are poison.
"I'm fine now. Look, I couldn't jump that high to begin with." She ran out the door, her apricot-colored skirt drawing a brisk arc at the threshold. As she ran, she called out to the two little ones, "Come on, let's go out and have some good food. We can ignore them."
"Okay! Sister, we've wanted to go out for a long time, but Mother has promised several times, but she never takes us out."
Ah Yue was overjoyed to be able to go out, jumping up and down to grab her sister's hand. The two had just heard that her sister would be staying for five more days, and they were so excited that they had been looking forward to going out with her for a long time, and now they couldn't wait to start thinking about whether to buy sugar figurines or candied haws.
"Let's go tomorrow! Miss, don't you see what time it is? The kitchen has already started cooking!" Chuntao hurriedly followed, still holding the bowl of brown sugar eggs in her hand.
He also hurriedly called out to the tree, "Hurry up and tell His Highness that the young lady is going out!" The treetop shook in response, and a black shadow quietly swept towards the main courtyard.
Chuntao was immediately glared at by Jing Chunxi, "Okay, you forgot who your master is! Be careful with your skin." Chuntao was not intimidated or annoyed, she just laughed.
A few days ago, they just found out that the dandy young man and prince who often hung around the young lady and had several trips with them suddenly turned into the noble Crown Prince. They were terrified and their knees were shaking even when they saluted. They didn't dare to get close to him easily.
I remember one time when Tang Shuang accidentally knocked over His Highness's teacup, and was so frightened that she knelt down on the spot, resting her forehead on the bluestone ground and not daring to look up.
Later, because of his sincerity in treating the young lady, his love for the people, his toughness towards corrupt officials and bullies, and his tolerance towards the servants around the young lady, their initial awe gradually changed their minds.
Now, even Tang Shuang has the guts to remind His Highness that "Miss has not eaten enough today", and His Highness will thank her with a smile. Now, the servants all regard the eldest prince as their own master and have a family-like relationship with him.
In the past few days, His Highness had been reminding them to take good care of the young lady, and he was even more concerned about every detail of the young lady's affairs. He even asked how many water bags the young lady had changed in a day and how much water she had drunk. His meticulousness made Chuntao feel inferior.
Compared to their own uncle's care for their aunt, it was even more than that. They occasionally talked about how nervous their uncle was when their aunt first had morning sickness, and how he also did everything himself.
Now, seeing the way His Highness is arranging various supplements for the young lady, it is exactly the same.
The prince's action made Tangshuang, who was used to the ups and downs of life, ask while she was decocting the medicine, "Sister Chuntao, could it be that all the royal family members are romantic? Why are they so similar?" The little girl's eyes widened, and she even forgot to fan herself with the palm-leaf fan in her hand, and the medicine jar was bubbling.
"Haha, the imperial family is the most ruthless. Fathers, sons, and brothers all kill each other. There are also many cases where emperors and empresses turn against each other for the sake of interests. Haven't you heard enough?" Chun Tao said as she added a spoonful of water to the medicine jar. The misty hot steam blurred her expression.
The deposed emperor favored Concubine Hua alone, demoting the eldest prince to a commoner without even a shred of marital affection, leading to the empress's tragic end. There are also true stories of individuals poisoning the previous emperor and fratricidal rivalries for the sake of the throne—each of these instances isn't a bloody lesson.
After Chuntao finished speaking, she looked at Tangshuang with a confused expression, obviously not understanding the deeper meaning of her words.
Thinking that the young lady might marry into the imperial palace in the future, he couldn't help but shudder. The medicine spoon in his hand hit the edge of the jar, making a crisp "ding" sound.
Chuntao was still recalling when her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps.
Looking up, I saw His Royal Highness the First Prince coming hurriedly in front of me. The hem of his black brocade robe was fluttering, and the two wide sleeves were picking up wind. The jade pendant on his waist was jingling, and it was obvious that he was jogging all the way here.
A few strands of hair on his forehead were slightly wet with sweat, sticking to his handsome cheeks, but they could not hide the concern in his eyes.
"Xi'er, don't worry. Eat a full meal and drink a bowl of soup. Brother Xiaokang will go with you." Xu Zize's voice still had a slight breath, but he deliberately softened his tone.
He stretched out his hand to stop Jing Chunxi who was about to rush out, and his slender fingers drew an elegant arc in the air.
Jing Chunxi held her forehead. Here it comes again. What was she trying to do? She was just going out, so she should have brought guards with her. Why did he bring up something she wanted to avoid?
Her small nose wrinkled, and her pink lips pouted slightly. "Brother Xiaokang, how about eating chicken every meal? I'll be out for a while."
With a hint of anger, Jing Chunxi did not stop walking. Her embroidered shoes with the butterfly-loving flower pattern made a small sound as they stepped on the ground, and the hem of her apricot-colored skirt swayed gently like butterfly wings.
"If Xier eats with her brother, she will naturally never get tired of the meal." A hint of cunning flashed in Xu Zize's eyes. His little hand was violently held by the big hand with distinct joints. The warm and dry touch made Jing Chunxi's heart tremble.
She had no choice but to stop and lean over to him like a grumpy kitten, rubbing against him, the pearl hairpin in her hair swaying slightly with her movements.
