Chapter 282 Begging
The next day, when Tang Qiyue was playing with the wooden sword with Zhao Bao, she found that the guards brought by Xie Mingzhu were running in and out with things in their hands. She squinted in confusion.
What is she doing? Are they planning to empty her house?
Just when he was about to get up and take a look, he saw Xie Mingzhu coming over, "Cousin, cousin."
"You are..." Tang Qiyue glanced at the red dress she was wearing. This princess had not worn red clothes since she left the capital. Why was she wearing red clothes today...
"Cousin, I've thought about it and I think it's time for me to go back to Beijing!"
Tang Qiyue was stunned, and looked up at her face, only then she found that the arrogant princess had red eyes. She quickly reached out and pulled her to sit next to her, then turned around and pushed Xie Changjin out, "Go play with your son's wooden sword!"
Xie Changjin was helpless, but couldn't bear to make Tang Qiyue unhappy, so he could only glare at Xie Mingzhu coldly and turn to play with Zhao Bao who was playing with the wooden sword.
"Why so sudden?" Tang Qiyue held her hand gently.
Xie Mingzhu pouted her lips, "It's almost the New Year. If I don't go back now, my father will probably ask the Crown Prince to arrest me and take me back." Thinking of the stern Crown Prince whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Xie Mingzhu felt that it would be better for her to be tactful and go back earlier.
Tang Qiyue chuckled, "How could that be? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince probably won't come, but he will ask others to come."
Xie Mingzhu felt even more aggrieved, her shoulders drooped, "It's so nice here, I really don't want to go back to Beijing."
"After returning to the capital, I can't leave the palace often. If I go out, I won't be able to see you. I have to be asked by my mother to learn etiquette, and my father has to check my homework. I also have to be watched by my brother, the crown prince, so that I can't run around."
Tang Qiyue did not interrupt her and let her talk aggrievedly for half an hour before she spoke, "Don't be sad. I will return to Beijing after the New Year and invite you to come out of the palace to play then."
"How long will it take?" Xie Mingzhu's eyes lit up.
Tang Qiuyue calculated that since she was pregnant with twins, there was a high possibility that she would go into labor early, but it would have to be after the New Year. After giving birth, she would have to recuperate after giving birth and then return to Beijing, so it would probably be around April or May.
"Ah! It's been so long, almost half a year." Xie Mingzhu felt unwell.
Tang Qiyue looked at the unhappy Xie Mingzhu and suddenly thought of the gift she had prepared for her. She waved to Xie Changjin who was not far away and looked over here from time to time, "Husband, go to the bedroom and move the big box in the corner over here."
Just when Xie Changjin was about to come over to support her, he heard this instruction, turned around and immediately went back to their room, and quickly carried over the wooden box that Tang Qiyue mentioned.
The wooden box was not very big, and Xie Changjin moved it effortlessly to the stone table next to where the two were sitting.
Xie Mingzhu blinked in confusion, "Cousin, what is this? Is it for me?"
Xie Mingzhu, who had just been feeling aggrieved and unhappy, suddenly became much more excited. The things that her cousin's wife could do were unknown to anyone else in the world. It must be some new and interesting thing.
Xie Changjin opened the wooden box, and even Zhao Bao, who was having a lot of fun playing with the wooden sword, ran over and looked into the box on his short legs.
"Wow——" Although Zhao Bao only saw a corner, it did not stop him from shouting out loud. He was extremely excited.
Tang Qiyue rubbed his head and moved the most conspicuous plaster doll in the wooden box towards Xie Mingzhu, "This is for you."
The plaster doll was one she had painted when she was bored in her previous life. It was a long-eared rabbit with a very simple color scheme, but it was very novel for this era. However, Tang Qiyue was not worried. Anyone who was curious could just push it on the peddler walking around the streets.
Originally, she had forgotten the plaster rabbit in the space, but she remembered it when she thought of Xie Mingzhu going back to Beijing. Tang Qiyueye was also glad that she had painted a rabbit. If she had replaced it with any other cartoon character, she would not be able to explain it even with a hundred mouths.
Next to the plaster rabbit there is a black and white bear, which is prepared for Zhaobao.
"Mom, mom, I like it so much, I like it so much." Zhao Bao hugged the plaster bear that Xie Changjin brought out for him and jumped excitedly.
"I'm glad you like it." Tang Qiyue felt a little embarrassed. Such a good thing was almost forgotten by her.
Here, Xie Mingzhu looked at the long-eared rabbit in shock. She liked it so much that she didn't know how to take the rabbit out of the wooden box. She was a little at a loss.
Tang Qiyue smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, this is not fragile. As long as you don't drop it hard on the ground, it will be fine. Take it. It's a gift for you to return to Beijing."
"No, I will definitely protect it well." Upon hearing this, Xie Mingzhu threw her worries behind her head, immediately took out the long-eared rabbit, and looked at it carefully again and again, without any trace of the sadness she had about having to return to Beijing.
"Cousin, you are so nice! I like this rabbit so much. I have never seen such a novelty in Beijing."
"Cousin, where did you buy it? Are there other appearances? Like kittens and puppies?"
Tang Qiyue paused and shook her head. "No, these are two cakes I exchanged with a refugee I met on the way to escape. The refugee didn't know either..."
She thought about it and decided that this excuse was safer. She wouldn't have to worry about who would look for her, so she decided to go and check.
Xie Changjin glanced at Tang Qiyue indifferently, his eyes dark.
Tang Qiyue didn't notice his gaze, and took out another wooden box from the wooden box and opened it. "This is lip balm. I originally planned to sell it in Guose Tianxiang, but Guose Tianxiang wanted to sell more soap, so I kept this lip balm. Do you like it?"
Lip balm is lipstick. She took out the lipstick and put it in a small porcelain jar, which contained twelve colors.
Xie Mingzhu was even more surprised. She immediately put the long-eared rabbit aside and went to look at the lip balm. She opened two of them and smeared a little on the back of her hand with her fingers. She was immediately surprised and said, "This color is so beautiful. It's not available in the city, and the quality is better than the rouge shop in the capital."
"Cousin, can you give me all these?"
Tang Qiyue nodded. She had prepared twelve colors for everyone in the family, but she took out Xie Mingzhu's first.
When Zhaobao heard there was another new toy, he ran over eagerly. When he saw it was lip balm, he took his plaster bear and went to play with it nearby.
"The lip balm and the doll are both for you." Tang Qiyue added.
After Xie Mingzhu got the two good things, there was no sadness on her face when she left Baile Village. Instead, she was extremely excited. It was obvious that the gift from Tang Qiyue really pleased her and diluted her unhappiness.
After sending the clingy Xie Mingzhu away, Tang Qiyue turned around and saw Xie Changjin, who was looking dissatisfied, staring at her closely.
Tang Qiyue was confused for a moment, then nervous, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xie Changjin hugged her from behind, deliberately avoiding her bulging belly and said, "Madam, why don't I have a gift? Huh?"
It’s fine if Zhao Bao has one, but Xie Mingzhu actually has two!
The more Xie Changjin thought about it, the more dissatisfied he felt. He also wanted the gift from his wife!
