Chapter 497 Living in the same house
Wei Jin also nodded.
He is not greedy for snacks, but she cooks them differently, especially from the way she eats them, he feels that her snacks are very delicious.
Wei Ruo generously handed the bag in front of Wei Jinyi to Wei Jinyi.
Wei Jin also took a piece of air-dried meat jerky from the bag and put it in his mouth.
The jerky is very hard, with only a slight salty taste and the taste of the meat itself. It has no smell or smell. Although it is simple, it is still delicious, just like other foods she has made.
I don't know if it's because of the reminiscence of the old days, the smile on Wei Jinyi's face became stronger, as if the light could be seen in those star-like eyes.
Wei Ruo noticed Wei Jinyi's expression, and couldn't help thinking to himself: Isn't it just a little candied fruit, and it's worth being so happy? In Xingshan County, Taizhou Prefecture, I used to eat the meals she cooked.
At the earliest time, I hated her cooking because I couldn’t get used to spicy food!
Seeing that Wei Jin also likes the food he cooks so much now, Wei Ruo is still a little proud.
Seeing that the road outside was already on the official road, the road was smooth and the carriage was not bumpy, Wei Ruo took out the tools for drinking tea by himself, a reduced version of the charcoal stove and the matching teapot.
Take out two more cowhide water bags, one containing water and the other containing milk.
Then came the tea cans, which contained the newly made black tea this year.
Wei Ruo made milk tea for Wei Jinyi and himself.
"Well, try it." Wei Ruo handed it to Wei Jinyi.
Wei Jin also took it and tasted it carefully.
Wei Ruo looked at him. She used to think that the second elder brother sipped tea and ate food slowly, elegantly and dignifiedly. Now that he is a prince, he is more suitable.
"Is it good?" Wei Ruo asked.
"Um."
"As long as it tastes good, I still have this. If you want to drink, take it yourself." Wei Ruo said with a smile.
"Um."
Wei Jin also looked at the teacup in his hand, and thought in his heart, even as a brother and sister, they can live in harmony for such a long time, and seeing her smile, he thinks it is enough.
The horse-drawn carriage was not moving fast, and it took more than half a day to get out of the capital.
After leaving the city, we walked for more than an hour before arriving at the next small county.
A group of people stayed in the post house in the county seat.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the post house, and when Wei Ruo and Wei Jin got off the carriage, several palace servants came forward to help them.
Wei Ruo and the others went out this time, in addition to the guards of the palace, the emperor also sent a small imperial forest army and several palace people to follow.
The chief steward of these palace people is this Eunuch Gao. He is a person close to the emperor, and he is here to accompany Wei Jinyi to take care of Wei Jinyi's food and clothing.
Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also expected that the emperor would send someone to accompany him, but it was unexpected for them to send Eunuch Gao directly.
This father-in-law is not easy to fool. With him around, Wei Ruo and Wei Jinyi, a superficial couple, have a lot of inconveniences in their affairs.
For example, Wei Jinyi had to continue to pretend to be sick, and another example was that the two of them had to ride in a carriage, and they had to live in the same place when they stayed.
And Wei Ruo even suspected that this Eunuch Gao was sent by the emperor to supervise the two of them.
When the father-in-law visited her for the first time in the palace, the emperor's desire to leave a queen for His Highness Prince Rui was revealed in his words.
Wei Jinyi and Wei Ruo entered the station surrounded by everyone.
Although this is a post station in the county seat, it is a necessary post station on the way to Beijing, so the post station is built very large, the rooms are spacious and bright, and there are a lot of people serving there.
Wei Jin is also a prince, so he was naturally assigned to the best guest room.
Eunuch Gao is in Wei Ruo and it is not easy to live in another room.
So the two stayed in the same room.
In the room, Wei Ruo and Wei Jin also looked at each other.
"What about tonight?" Wei Ruo asked Wei Jinyi.
"You sleep here, and I will go out through the window after nightfall." Wei Jin also said.
"Where will you sleep after you go out?" Wei Ruo asked.
"There will be somewhere to sleep."
"Look for another guest room to sleep in? This is a post house, and no one is allowed to stay in the room, or do you want to sleep in the stable?"
Wei Jin was also silent.
He was going to be away from home on the roof. He didn't want to be too far away from her.
"You'd better sleep in this room, I'll spread a cotton blanket on the floor for you, and make you a quilt, and you'll make do with it."
Wei Ruo still couldn't bear to drive Wei Jinyi out to find a place to sleep.
Besides, this room is quite big, divided into inner and outer rooms. She sleeps in the inner room, separated from the outer room by a screen, and there is a curtain on the bed. After the curtain is drawn, there will be a private space. It should not be a big problem for the next night.
Wei Jin also laid the floor under Wei Ruo's command, and there was a knock on the door.
Because Wei Jin also pretends to be ill, answering the door is naturally Wei Ruo's job.
Eunuch Gao stood outside the door and said to Wei Ruo with a smile on his face: "My lord, is there anything you and the lord are missing?"
"No, everything here is complete."
"That's good. If you have any orders, call our house at any time."
"Okay." Wei Ruo replied.
Immediately afterwards, Eunuch Gao asked the little **** who was following him to come forward. The little **** was holding a tray in his hand, and there was a stewing pot on the tray.
"Princess Wangfei, our family ordered someone to make you a cup of tonic soup. You drank it before going to bed. It is a secret recipe in the palace. All ladies love it. It is very effective in nourishing and beautifying your skin."
"Eunuch Lao is here." Wei Ruo stretched out his hand and took the tray from the little **** that Eunuch Gao reached out to.
Eunuch Gao warned again: "Your Majesty, this is for nourishing women, don't let the prince drink it."
"Understood, thank you, Eunuch."
Wei Ruo replied, and then closed the door.
Wei Ruo put the soup on the table inside the house.
After opening it, I smelled it, then dipped a little bit with a spoon and put it on the tip of my tongue, tasted it, suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "No wonder I specifically told you not to touch it."
"Why?" Wei Jin also asked.
"This is indeed a tonic soup, a great tonic. Your body is too weak, so you can't drink it." Wei Ruo said in a teasing tone.
Wei Jin also felt that Wei Ruo hadn't said the whole thing, so he looked at Wei Ruo, waiting for her to continue.
Receiving Wei Jinyi's gaze, Wei Ruo smiled, and added: "I think Eunuch Gao wants me, the princess, to help you save the sick prince, so he specially prepared such a nourishing soup for me."
As soon as this remark came out, Wei Jin also understood.
Wei Jinyi's body was weak, so Eunuch Gao didn't dare to feed him casually, but he accepted the emperor's order, hoping to leave a successor for Wei Jinyi, so he could only attack Wei Ruo.
"It's troubled you." Wei Jin also apologized, because of his pretending to be sick, these things happened now.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not tired yet."
It sounds weird to say she's tired, like they did something.
"That was not what I meant…"
Wei Jinyi's face flushed slightly, and he also realized that there was something wrong in what he said.
