Chapter 33

Ten days later.

Three days later, the palace will hold a birthday banquet for the empress.

"If you really don't want to go, you don't need to go with me. After all, you haven't really recovered. If you want to come to the palace, you won't blame anything."

In the prince's courtyard, Cui, who had just finished sorting out the account books, said Xu Mingyi, who sat down to eat snacks.

The dim sum was bought and delivered by Xu Mingshi, all of which Xu Mingyi liked in the past.

At this time, she swallowed the Rose Crisp in her mouth, took the handkerchief handed by ah Kui, wiped the corners of her mouth, ate two mouthfuls of tea, and then said, "mother, I'm almost fine. I've been sick at home these days. I haven't been out for a long time. My mother let me join in the fun."

"I thought you didn't like these occasions before." Cui's eyes were full of a smile: "you want to go, just go."

Xu Mingyi smiled and nodded.

She really didn't like these in the past because she was tired of dealing with them, but now she can't just stay at home and wait for nightmares.

She has a lot to do. The first thing is to listen, see and think more, so that she can put more useful things in her not so smart mind.

"Madam."

When the mother and daughter were talking, Qingying came in from the outside and saluted, "Mrs. xiangningbo, they are here."

"So fast?" Cui put down his tea.

She just finished the account and didn't talk to her daughter for a while!

Qing Ying was surprised.

Mrs. xiangningbo was still suspicious of Mrs. xiangningbo when they came quickly——

Xu Mingyi got up at the right time: "it happened that I was going to visit my second uncle, so I didn't bother my mother to hang the horse."

"Then go quickly. When mother wins the silver, she will buy you food later!"

Xu Mingyi should come down.

As long as it's not ice powder——

She followed Cui out of the inner room, saluted several women in Chinese clothes in the hall in turn, and then left the Shizi courtyard.

The card table was soon set up. During the four people's chat, Mrs. Xiang Ningbo looked at Cui and said, "I haven't seen your girl for a long time. Now it's really more dignified and beautiful."

"It doesn't matter whose girl it is." Cui Shi is not modest at all.

"So it seems that the rumor outside must be true?" Mrs. Wen, the wife of the Minister of rites, threw a card out and said.

Cui Shi looked at her: "what rumors?"

"It's a rumor about Dingnan Wang Shisun. It's said that old general Xu saved people back to Beijing to cheer for your girl. Dingnan Wang Shisun hid his identity and lived in your house for many days. He didn't hesitate to promise to cheer because he was greedy for Miss Xu's beauty - but later his identity was revealed, and he was driven out by old general Xu!"

It is well known that the town government is incompatible with the Dingnan palace.

Apart from everything else, it would be strange if the two families could get married.

"What a mess is this?" Cui laughed.

Although according to the beauty of her family Zhaozhao, it is really possible to make the other party obsessed with the enemy, Wu Shisun has never been lucky to see Zhaozhao.

In the past ten days, she could hear all kinds of rumors about their town government's rescue of Wu Shisun almost every day. There were endless rumors. Those who did not take important children had their own absurdity.

Because most of them have no influence on their town government, they just listen to it as a joke.

Anyway, it was not her family Zhaozhao who was laughed at, but Wu Shisun, who was brought to rejoice and is now very "greedy for beauty" in the eyes of everyone.

But these things are just being used for gossip. There are many things in Beijing, and they will soon be forgotten.

Xu Mingyi didn't care much about these rumors.

She took ah Kui to Xuyun hospital.

"Where is the second uncle?"

"Go back, girl. The second master is in his study."

Xu Mingyi bent his lips and smiled.

It's very hard to see her second uncle working for her recently.

The door of the study was half closed. Ah Kui knocked forward and gently pushed it open.

Xu Mingyi went in and saw a large bookcase with paintings, paper, pen and ink. However, the bookcase was empty and no human figure was seen.

His eyes searched for a moment in the study, but he saw Xu Yun sleeping soundly on a low couch beside the bookshelf.

"Second uncle..."

Xu Mingyi reluctantly walked over and gently shook his arm.

"Why did you fall asleep again at this hour?"

According to the second uncle's usual time of getting up, I'm afraid I've just got up - there's sleeping grass in the house. I'm afraid there's someone else with narcolepsy?

"Zhaozhao..."

Xu Yun barely opened his eyes and looked at her. He saw that he was going to sleep again.

Xu Mingyi hurriedly shook him again: "second uncle, the painting you promised me has not been finished yet -"

She doesn't bother him on weekdays, but the second uncle has no score like this. It's really hard to understand.

"Everything can't be done... You can't do it today, just do it tomorrow." Xu Yun turned over, turned his back to her, said vaguely: "if you're lucky and die, you don't have to do it..."

"..." Xu Mingyi was in a mixed mood.

It's over. Her second uncle seems to have become more and more degenerate recently.

Taking a look at the half painted paper on the bookcase, Xu mingyiqiang resisted the impulse to prick two needles for his second uncle to make people sober, and sighed helplessly.

Just, painting can't be forced.

Whether she can send this birthday gift depends on fate.

Xu Mingyi bent over to pick up the thin blanket on one side and half put it on Xu Yun, so he took ah Kui out of the study.

As soon as the master and servant got down the stone steps, they saw Zhan Yunzhu coming with a little boy.

"Zhao -" Zhan Yunzhu just uttered a word, and quickly changed his mouth with a smile: "Miss Xu is here too."

Xu Mingyi smiled.

This kind of intimacy, which seems to be revealed unintentionally, is the easiest to believe. It's really a person who has calculations every word, every word and every action.

"Young master Zhan came at a bad time. My second uncle slept in his study."

Zhan Yun looked at the study behind her in a gentle tone and said with a smile, "it doesn't matter. I just took people out of the city yesterday to play some game and sent some over.

By the way, I've also prepared one for you, but it was not good to send it directly to you - you can make it up while you're raising your body these days. "

Xu Mingyi looked at the hare and other things in the little boy's hand behind him and whispered, "I appreciate brother Zhan's kindness. However, five days later, it will be my grandmother's death. It's inconvenient to see meat and fishy things in the house. Brother Zhan should take them back and enjoy them."

She had heard from doctor Qiu before that many game can't be eaten indiscriminately. In case of good luck, it's possible to eat dead people.

Zhan Yunzhu was stunned and hurriedly said, "it's my negligence... I forgot such an important thing. Yongkang, take it back quickly."

The boy should go out of the yard immediately.

Zhan Yunzhu has something else to say. He has heard Xu Mingyi say in front: "young master Zhan, I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."

The girl in plain clothes bowed slightly to him and left with her servant girl.

Zhan Yunzhu looked at her back and frowned slightly.

He always felt that Zhaozhao was a little different from the past. Although he was still indifferent to everything, he always felt that something had changed.

Is it because of the poisoning?

……

Soon it was the day to enter the palace for dinner.

On this day, Xu Mingyi and Cui sat in the carriage together, recalling what had happened in their previous lives.

In her previous life, she had never been to the palace for dinner due to illness, but she clearly remembered that a great event had happened on that day.

——So big that even she, who was in a coma at that time, remembered something deeply.
