The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 89 New Year's Eve (1)
The carriage was smoked with elegant ambergris, like a spring breeze, and the old copper-nickel double-ring foot warmer in the corner was still steaming.Zhao Jing closed her eyes, she tried her best not to think about Zhou Yi's face, and also tried her best to forget her fear of Zhou Yi, but she couldn't control her body.She suppressed her crying and shed tears, looking at Prince Regent Zhou Yi eagerly.

"My lord...can't my lord let me go?"

Zhou Yi put his hands on his knees, and sat across from Zhao Jing with a big horse. The condescending distance made Zhao Jing more and more frightened. He narrowed his eyes, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"This king doesn't seem to have done anything to you."

"Then you pull me into the carriage..." Zhao Jing blurted out, and looked at Zhou Yi timidly after finishing speaking.She is generous and decent in front of everyone, but when she sees Zhou Yi, she doesn't even know how to pretend.

"Is this king that scary?" Zhou Yi raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhao Jing, her frightened expression did not seem to be faked.

"No...no...but I just can't help but get scared." Zhao Jing said truthfully.

"You're quite honest." Zhou Yi has long been used to Zhao Jing's attitude towards him. After seeing Zhao Jing's slightly pouted expression, Zhou Yi's always indifferent eyes seemed to have a little warmth, "The life outside the palace is still going on. Are you used to it?"

He couldn't remember how long he hadn't talked to Zhao Jing in such a pleasant way. Since that incident, Zhao Jing saw him like a mouse sees a cat.The imperial doctor said that Zhao Jing was hurting her head and couldn't remember the past, but he didn't believe it. If she really didn't remember, why did she remember her fear of him so deeply.

"It's not bad, it's not a habit, nor is it not a habit." Zhao Jing relaxed her body a little, leaning on the soft cushion behind her. It's a good thing to have a car, but her parents' incense money hasn't been continued, so she always pays for it. I want my brother to run again.

Zhou Yi looked at Zhao Jing, she drooped her eyebrows, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, she let go of her defenses, her expression was as soft as a delicate flower in spring, but that person was already old.

Zhou Yi withdrew his thoughts, and pushed the foot stove in the corner to Zhao Jing. Her embroidered shoes were wet, and it must be uncomfortable to wear on her feet.Zhao Jing looked at the muddy footprints she had stepped on on the wool felt, and blushed a little. She leaned her shoes against the edge of the foot stove, and felt the warmth from the soles of her feet.

"Why did the lord come here?" Suppressing the original body's fear of Zhou Yi, Zhao Jing boldly asked Zhou Yi, as long as he didn't turn his eyebrows coldly at her, it was fine to speak a few words peacefully.

"This king is here to see an old friend, how about you?"

"My father and mother's longevity tablets are enshrined in this nunnery. We are here to renew the incense money." Zhao Jing thought it was a pity when she thought of this, and she was dragged away when she was almost at the gate of the temple. It's not easy to go here.

Zhou Yi didn't speak, but just cleared his throat. He never felt that he had done a wrong thing.Zhao Jing felt that there was no way to communicate with him, and besides, her body was still a little stiff. Although she was holding back, she still had a feeling of wanting to run away immediately.

After finally reaching the city, Zhao Jing yelled to get out of the car before entering the city gate.Zhou Yi let the carriage lean against the side of the road and followed her down.Zhao Jing returned to her senses respectfully and saluted Zhou Yi, and pulled Zhao Yong home.

Zhao Jing didn't speak a word along the way, Zhao Yong saw that she was leaving in a hurry, so he hurriedly followed her, and asked casually, "Sister, do you even know the regent?"

As soon as he asked, he regretted it. If he didn't know this, would the regent pull Zhao Jing into the car?
Zhao Jing nodded, seeing that Zhao Yong was still in shock, she smiled and said, "We know each other, but we're not very familiar, but brother, you can remember, in the future, no matter if it's the regent king or the uncle of the country, if they come In our house, you just don’t let them in.”

Zhao Yong nodded in agreement, but his expression was very difficult. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask: "If I stop them, they won't force their way in? Besides, can I, a small citizen like Shengdou, be able to stop me?"

In fact, Zhao Jing was just speaking out of anger. Seeing Zhao Yong's serious look, she smiled and said, "Brother, just try it and you'll know."

Ying got up early today and boarded the regent's carriage again. It was only after noon when the two returned home.Zhao Yong saw that Shi Chen had already gone to work in the shop again, Yuan Shi heated up his lunch and called Zhao Jing out to eat.

Zhao Jing sat in the room combing her hair. It was windy outside. She didn't wear a headscarf when she went out. At this time, her hair was messy. She straightened her bun in front of the mirror and found that the pearl earring on her right ear was gone.

The pearl earrings were rewarded by the Empress Dowager. It is said that they are made of leftover pearls. Because the color is light golden, which suits her skin tone especially, Zhao Jing likes it very much.Unexpectedly, she lost one of these earrings only a few days after leaving the palace, and she would have worn another one to go out if she knew it earlier.
