Chapter 55 055(1/2)

After Zhou Qi left, Xu Roujia fell asleep again in a daze. She was helped up by two maids and fed the medicine, and then continued to sleep.

When I woke up again, it was really dark, and it was already dusk.

Yuhuan served her to wash her face, and Yuping immediately went to inform her that Concubine Shu who had visited her four times during the day.

The niece finally woke up, and Lu rushed over.

"Auntie." Xu Roujia had no strength and leaned against the head of the bed and called softly.

The little girl's face turned slightly red and her eyebrows were haggard. Mrs. Lu sat down on the edge of the bed and fucked her niece's forehead first. She confirmed that the fever had subsided. She regretted: "If I had known that so many things would happen when I arrived at the yard. One of her arm was injured and the other was too scared. I wouldn't bring you to join in the fun!"

Xu Roujia smiled: "Don't be anxious, auntie, it's quite fun to run on the grassland. I'll go with you when I get ready."

When Lu heard that she was still in the mood to think about playing, it seemed that the scare had really passed, so he felt relieved.

"I haven't eaten two meals, are you hungry?" Lu asked with concern.

Xu Roujia nodded.

Lu asked the maids to pass on the meal.

The diet is not greasy when sick, so the kitchen prepared yam and red date porridge for Xu Roujia.

Mrs. Lu took the soup bowl and fed Xu Roujia himself.

The jade bottle and the jade ring looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

Xu Roujia lowered her head and drank porridge but couldn't see it. Mrs. Lu glanced at it and asked wonderingly: "What are you two laughing at?"

Yu Ping whispered: "Great Empress, we are happy for the princess. The girl from Beppu is worried about meeting the evil mother-in-law when she gets married. You are so good to treat the princess, so we princess don't have to worry about that anymore."

Xu Roujia:...

These two maids are getting more and more bold!

She glared over with a red face.

But Lu felt that the two maids were right, and he smiled and straightened his niece's head, and said while feeding porridge: "Don't worry, A Tao, you are even more close to your aunt than your fourth cousin. If he dares to bully you in the future, just tell me, I will definitely make the decision for you."

What can Xu Roujia say?

I can only drink porridge quietly.

.

The next day, Emperor Yongjia led other princes and civil and military ministers to inspect the grassland. Lu was idle and took his son who could not accompany him because of arrows to see his future daughter-in-law.

On the way here, Lu quietly reminded her son: "Although your injury is worse than A Tao, A Tao is a girl with a timid and delicate body. She needs someone to coax her the most now. When you meet later, you can talk to her more about her."

Zhou Qi doesn't understand what it means to talk to himself.

But he nodded.

Lu looked around and suddenly took out a purse from her sleeve, then quickly stuffed it into her son's hand, and explained in a low voice: "This is hawthorn candy. A Tao has had a light diet these two days, so she must want to eat something that tastes good. Just say it was prepared by you. She will definitely be happy after eating the candy, and she will like you when she is happy."

Zhou Qi:...

Does the mother think that her cousin doesn’t like him now? The two have already been married. Who else can she like if she doesn’t like him?

However, remembering that she did not agree to his proposal immediately before, Zhou Qi silently took the purse and put it into her sleeve.

The son is obedient, and Lu is very satisfied. There is a tent ahead. Lu finally said: "Actually, women, especially women who are not short of money, like sweet words than gold, silver and jewelry. You can learn more in the past six months and come in handy after marriage."

Zhou Qi thought of her golden leaves again, and she was indeed not short of money.

Sweet words...

Zhou Qi couldn't say that.

After the maid was told, the mother and son entered the tent of Princess Zhunzhuang.

Xu Roujia was more energetic today, because Doctor Wei suggested that she try to walk outside if she has the strength, so Xu Roujia changed her clothes for going out and just waited for the sun to get warmer before going out.

"Auntie is here." Xu Roujia smiled at Lu, and then saluted Zhou Qi behind Lu.

Zhou Qi was as handsome as ever, as if he was not the man who left yesterday blushed.

Xu Roujia just pretended that nothing had happened and asked softly: "How is the prince's injury?"

Zhou Qi looked at his left arm and said seriously: "It's okay. Thank you for your concern. Can my cousin improve today?"

Xu Roujia smiled and nodded: "It's much better."

Seeing the two of them being polite, Lu's teeth were almost sore. Perhaps there were fewer people around him, so the couple would let go?

After sitting inside for a while, Lu suggested that everyone go for a walk by the river.

Xu Roujia is just thinking this way.

Zhou Qi naturally has to walk with him.

Yu Ping was used to following the master, but was left by Lu: "We will be strolling around and will be back in a while, so there is no need for you to follow."

The jade bottle is a little bit happy if you can be lazy.

So, besides Zhou Qi and Xu Roujia, Lu only took one of her maids, as well as her nephew Lu Ding.

The camp was set against the river, and the group came out of Xu Roujia's tent and walked slowly north for a cup of tea.

The river water is rippling like a long silver belt on the green grassland.

"Hey, I'm tired. Fourth brother, please accompany A Tao to stroll along the river." As a future mother-in-law who was very worried that her son would not be happy with his wife, Lu casually found a piece of grass to sit down and quickly created opportunities for his son.

Zhou Qi looked at Xu Roujia.

Xu Roujia's tricks against Lu are no longer surprising.

She lowered her head slightly and walked forward first, staring at the river.

Zhou Qi walked outside her, and the cool wind blew from the opposite side of the river. Her red skirt moved in the wind and occasionally touched his robe.

The wind seems a bit loud.

"Is it cold?" Zhou Qi asked in a low voice.

Xu Roujia shook her head. The sun was so warm that the wind on the grassland during the day would only make people feel refreshed.

Zhou Qi looked at her lips that were not as rosy as usual because she was sick, and for some reason she thought of her mother's words.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Qi said in confusion: "Since moving out of the palace, my cousin seems to have not been close to me before."

When she was in the palace, she would sweetly call her fourth cousin whenever she saw him, and would take the initiative to ask about her well-being, and she would give her pastries and food. After leaving the palace, her attitude became distant.

Xu Roujia thought about this question seriously and said with a smile: "First of all, when I was in the palace, I was still shallow and short. If I get close to the prince, I will not talk nonsense. After the hairpin, it will not work. Secondly, we used to meet often, but later the prince moved into the Zhuang palace. We met less. After a long time, we would lose the previous intimacy."

Zhou Qi said, "You have never changed when you are Lu Ding."

Xu Roujia:...

She looked back as if she was concealed, and when she turned around, she found a reason temporarily: "I have been brother and sister with him for more than ten years, and the prince..."

Zhou Qi finally accepted this explanation.

"Do you eat candy?" Zhou Qi took out his purse and handed it to her while the atmosphere is still harmonious.

Xu Roujia stared blankly at the purse in his hand.

A moment ago, he was asking her why she refused to get close to him, why did she give her candy in the blink of an eye?

There is no connection between the two things at all.

However, my mouth was light for two days and I also drank a bowl of thick soup in the morning. Xu Roujia really wanted to take something to make her appetizing.

"Thank you, Prince." Xu Roujia smiled and stretched out her hand.

Zhou Qi put his purse in the palm of her hand.

Xu Roujia opened her purse and looked in. It was round hawthorn candy.

She poured it out and wanted to pour one, but she rolled two out.

Just when Xu Roujia was hesitating whether to eat both or put one back, Xu Roujia suddenly remembered that Lu said that Zhou Qi loved to eat hawthorn cake.

It just so happened that Zhou Qi was not satisfied with her deliberate alienation before. Xu Roujia turned her almond eyes, raised her head, and said to Zhou Qi with a smile: "I remember that the prince also likes to eat hawthorn, do you also eat one?"

Zhou Qi was stunned, how did she know?

While thinking about it, Xu Roujia had already pinched a piece of hawthorn candy and handed it over.

Zhou Qi had no choice but to take the candy.

Xu Roujia ate it first, put the round candy into her mouth, and her cheeks immediately bulged out.

Xu Roujia was prepared and covered her side face with her sleeve in advance.

Zhou Qi kept looking at her, and was fascinated by the sight, and asked casually: "Why should my cousin block it?"

Xu Roujia is naturally for the sake of demeanor.

After Zhou Qi asked, he found that he had asked a stupid question. When he glanced at her wide cuffs, Zhou Qi clenched the candy in his hand and said, "In front of me, my cousin doesn't have to be so disgusting."

Although some of the mother's postures do not match the behaviors that noble ladies should do, Zhou Qi only feels kind when she recalls her mother's big mouthful of food when she was young.

So, in private, he also wanted to get along with his cousin like that.
