"Yes sir!" The two girls obediently left the room.
Xiaoxiao did not move her chopsticks. After waiting for a while, she confirmed that the sound of footsteps was approaching. He pulled down a silver pendant from under the curtain, placed it in the milk and shook it. Only when he didn't see the pendant turn black did he feel at ease.
"Drink it!" I have wronged you. " Patting the poor thing, she pushed the bowl toward it.
Gulp gulp gulp!
Upon seeing this, Snowball was like a tiger descending the mountain. It didn't take long for the bowl to reach its end. After finishing the bowl, it jumped back onto its tiny feet, eyeing the delicacy on the table.
"You want to eat this too?" After testing all the dishes with the silver pendant, he found nothing out of the ordinary. He used his chopsticks to pick up a big chicken leg and sent it into the empty bowl.
Eat!
Without pause, the two of them chewed the meat and drank the soup, sweeping away all the dishes on the table.
Patting her round belly, she happily glanced at Snowball who was burping, then very contentedly closed her eyes.
"Alright, let's go eat and drink to our heart's content. We should go take a bath and then have a good rest." After saying that, Xiaoxiao walked out of the house with Snowball in her arms.
At this moment, Xiu-Er had already prepared some hot rouge and water for her master. She stood by the door and paced around anxiously. He was so excited to see his master. "Master, Xiu-Er will put some rouge and flower water for you. And your favorite flower dew."
"It's been hard on you. Xiu-Er, prepare a blanket for you." It's too cold for Little Thing to sleep on the floor at night. " Xiaoxiao thanked him, thinking that there wasn't even a bellows in this damned place. If you bathe this little thing, you'll definitely catch a cold tomorrow.
Woo woo!
Smelling a burst of fragrance, Snowball hopped down to rush inside, only to be knocked to the ground with a small kick.
Ye Zichen looked at the wooden house in front of him. During the summer, this place was covered with muslin curtains. After leaving for a few months, this place had become a basically closed wooden house.
Looking at the change in the room, she asked curiously, "Whose idea is this? It looks a lot warmer. "
"Yes …" Xiu-Er was thinking about it. Xiu-Er spoke happily and told Master what she had done, "Master loves this bath so much. When winter comes, Xiu-Er was afraid that Master would catch cold. She told Master Lin about it. Eunuch Lin had the craftsman come over the next day to make things look like this, and yet Eunuch Lin is still always thinking about Master. "
"Eunuch Lin is such a good person!"
This made Zhang Xuan want to see Eunuch Lin and to know exactly what his father was up to.
However, reason told her that to deal with the dark factions in the harem, she had to be clear-headed and not act rashly and wreak havoc.
"That's right!" It was said that the emperor was not in good health recently, so Eunuch Lin waited on the side all night long. Two days ago, Xiu-Er met his father-in-law. His hair had turned a lot whiter, and he looked a lot older. " Xiu-Er nodded and thought about the worry on Eunuch Lin's face. She was worried about his body.
"Xiu-Er, don't worry. I won't let anything happen to my father." Little Jun solemnly swore as he picked up the snowball on the ground and walked into the room.
Inside the house, there was a warm current flowing around. It was not cold at all. At first glance, besides the large bath, there was also a small wooden bucket. The tub was filled with hot water. Xiu-Er had prepared it for Snowball.
So meticulous!
Little Jun was happy to have such a little girl, so she probed the bucket for water. She carefully put the snowball into the bucket.
"Woo woo!" Snowball felt the soup and wanted to escape, but was pushed down by a small amount of force.
"Be good, you will feel comfortable holding it later." Little Jun patiently coaxed the little thing. Her eyes swept across the room and found a furry cushion not far away.
Smiling gratefully, she pointed to the furry mat and continued, "After washing up, lie down there and don't get sick. Soon, we will have to fight against those who want me dead, do you understand? "
"Woo woo!" Snowball nodded as if he understood.
Lowering his head, he gently kissed Snowball's head. When she reached the pool, she probed the water temperature with her feet. The water temperature was perfect. Taking off her dirty clothes, she slowly walked into the water.
How comfortable! If he could take a bath like this every day, how many would be there?
When would the imperial palace truly be like a home? The royal father would be like an ordinary father, enjoying the filial piety of his children and grandchildren, enjoying the greatness of being a father.
She washed herself with hot water and looked at the birthmark on her chest. It reminded her of the location of the jade pendant.
Sigh …
Sighing deeply, she closed her eyes in distress.
In her mind, she saw a beautiful painting of a lush garden, a rocking chair, and she was surrounded by flowers. On the table were fresh fruits and aged wine. After taking a sip, the sweet taste of the sweet alcohol lingered in his mouth for a long time.
As she thought about it, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and a comforting smile blossomed on her face.
"Mistress, the fruit you wanted has been prepared." Outside the door, Ling'er was already standing there with a basket of fruits in her hands.
"Come in!" Xiaoxiao answered with a grunt.
For some reason, when she saw Ling'er again, she felt a great enmity towards her. Ling'er's coldness made her heart feel an indescribable pain.
[What is wrong with this woman's kindness?
Puzzled, she looked at Ling'er as she walked in. She saw Ling'er's evasive gaze.
"Why don't you dare look at me? Did he do something shameful? Or do you not want me to come back at all? It would be best if I were to die outside. " She touched the surface of the water and directly opened her mouth, not looking at Ling'er. She knew that the expression on this girl's face must have been conflicted.
Ling'er placed the fruit on the edge of the bath. The smile on her face looked extremely hypocritical. Finally, her gaze landed on Master's face and she slowly said, "Master, you're thinking too much. Ling'er's body hasn't been well for the past two days, so she's moving slowly! Ling'er is just like Xiu-Er, always thinking about Master's return. "
What kind of bullshit reason was this?
Was this girl's brain being funny?
However, since she didn't want to admit it, she didn't need to force herself. As long as this girl didn't hurt him, he would treat her like a bowl with more chopsticks.
"That's good! "Otherwise, if I were to go out and waste my time, I would still be thinking about you guys." A small splash on the surface of the water, his tone was casual.
"Thank you for your concern, master. Ling'er will definitely take good care of you." Ling'er's drool could be said to be emotionless.
"Since that's the case, you should go back and rest!" "Master has been through too much these days, so his suspicions are quite heavy. Don't take it to heart." Xiaoxiao didn't want to fuss too much about it, but she had a knot in her heart. If she didn't undo the knot, she would always be like this.
She didn't want to spoil the mood. She closed her eyes and breathed in the fragrance of the water. She felt drowsy and wanted to go to sleep.
"Mistress, you can't stay in the cold water for too long." After coming back, Ling'er finally said something that concerned her, and the expression on her face was also a lot more amiable.
"Good!" After covering myself with the blanket, I will go to rest. " Xiaoxiao answered with a grunt before opening her eyes. After a casual wash, she exited the bath.
Standing up, Ling'er noticed the birthmark on her small chest. He looked carefully and frowned again. "Mistress, is that your birthmark?"
"Ugh!" Xiaoxiao was frightened. After seeing that the birthmark did not show any abnormalities, she relaxed and said, "It's ugly. Don't look!"
"Actually, it's not that ugly. It looks like a flower." Ling'er's words were purely to comfort her master.
He gave Ling'er a small look, then looked carefully at the birthmark on her chest.
Could it be that she had the Heaven's Eyes?
Impossible!
Ling'er suddenly recalled that some young ladies had done this before, and proposed with good intentions, "I heard from the girls in the other palaces that Master is a very good tattooist in the palace. If Master finds it unsightly, Master can tattoo a flower on it."
"You said that there's a tattooed master here?" Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.
"Yes, if Mistress needs it, Ling'er will bring Master here tomorrow." Ling'er nodded. She had met that teacher once, a very old woman.
Uh!
For a woman like her who was even afraid of beauty, if she had countless needles stabbing into her chest, it would be equivalent to taking her life.
Shaking her head, Xiaoxiao resolutely replied, "No!"
As he spoke, he got up and wrapped the towel Ling'er brought up with her. After wiping off the water on his body and putting on his clothes, he took a look at the snowball that was already snoring on the mat and carried it in his arms.
Tired. Tired.
After all, Lil Thing hadn't lived a decent life since it had followed him, and it was unknown whether it had followed him or if it was fawning over him.
Kissing the sleeping thing, she wrapped it in a towel and carried it out of the house to her own comfort zone.
Walking to the door of the house, she urged the two girls, "If I want to sleep, I'll wake up naturally. Don't let anyone disturb me."
"Yes sir!" After seeing Xiaoxiao to her room, Xiu-Er yawned and went to clean up the bath while Ling'er went to the backyard.
That night, Lil Thing and Little Thing slept very soundly. The two little girls also obediently listened to their orders, and didn't disturb their sweet dreams.
However, there is such a fearless thing in this world. Three hours into the day, someone had nothing to do, but he was feeling depressed again. When he arrived at the entrance of the small courtyard, Blue Rain stopped walking.
There was no tiger in the mountain, and the monkey was called the overlord.
In the days that she was gone, she had enjoyed herself as an overlord. Although she didn't dare to go anywhere else to act presumptuously, there were still many people who paid for what she did in the hall.
As such, from the eunuchs and guards to the servants, he had already scolded everyone and even did not hesitate to take action. Only, the two girls in this courtyard were still holding it in until now.
As she entered, she smelled the familiar scent of rouge flowers, and she was irritated at the sight of them. He glanced around in dissatisfaction and saw that the flower that he had killed not long ago came back to life. She was so angry that she did not care about the gentleness of a lady. She walked forward, picked up a handful of rouge flowers, and stepped on them.
"I'll pull it out!" With a single command, the following Xiao Yun was also very rude as she quickly plucked a few clumps of rouge flowers.
Inside the house, Xiu-Er was thinking about what she should prepare for her master. She saw the master and his wife entering the yard.
Crap!
[I haven't seen Xiu-Er today. How should I deal with these two women?
She timidly hid by the window. She wanted to wait for them to disappear without a trace, but she didn't expect that these two women would actually have the idea of having rouge blossoms again.
In a fit of anger, she boldly rushed out, knocked Xiao Yun aside with her body, and shouted, "These are Master's favorite flowers, please show mercy, Lady Yu Yan!"
